I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping-Chapter 2129 - 1366: To Recognize and Correct One’s Mistakes Is a Supreme Virtue

Chapter 2129: Chapter 1366: To Recognize and Correct One’s Mistakes Is a Supreme Virtue

"What kind of love potion did you give Shu Rui?"

Jiang Chen went straight to the point, speaking bluntly.

"What kind of love potion could I give her? I’m not a witch."

Shi Qianxi laughed, spinning in the boss’s chair, chin slightly tilted up, "Come here, you’re too far, it’s tiring to talk. You know, my throat isn’t feeling great."

Jiang Chen frowned, exasperated but helpless.

That’s the downside of being a man.

"Have you called Li Shuru?"

Once Jiang Chen obediently walked closer, Shi Qianxi asked.

"What do you want to do?"

"Tsk."

Director Shi smacked her lips, a surprised expression on her face, "The master of playing dumb doesn’t act dumb anymore."

Jiang Chen pulled a chair.

Shi Qianxi’s intentions towards him were obvious.

Pretending to be oblivious for so long was indeed tiring.

The most important thing.

Couldn’t pretend any longer.

"You know, I could never abandon Shu Rui."

"Stop."

Shi Qianxi crossed her arms, "Don’t try to sow discord. She calls me sister, if you abandon her, I’d be the first to disagree."

"Then what do you want?"

Since he couldn’t pretend anymore, he could only speak frankly.

"What do you think? I told you a long time ago, do you think I was joking?"

"But I have a girlfriend."

"So?"

"So I can’t reciprocate your feelings."

Upon hearing this, Shi Qianxi let out a mocking laugh, looking towards the door, "Why don’t you think about it and come back again?"

"Aren’t you worried about the family’s shame?"

It was clear that by choosing to come into this office, Jiang Chen was ready to have a heartfelt conversation.

"What do you mean by shame? I’m pursuing the happiness I want; what does it have to do with others? Is life in this world not about happiness? You say shame, then do you think my parents’ divorce was honorable?"

"It’s different."

"Why is it different?"

Shi Qianxi smiled, "When they decided to separate, I was very angry, but now, I understand. Their initial romance was for happiness, their marriage was for happiness, and their divorce was equally for happiness. And I’m the same."

Jiang Chen fell silent.

"Do you hate me?"

Shi Qianxi suddenly asked.

Jiang Chen remained silent.

Shi Qianxi smiled elegantly, "Initially, you surely hated me, just like most people, keeping a respectful distance. But later, you didn’t dislike me as much, right?"

Jiang Chen’s gaze lowered, falling on the desk, avoiding eye contact.

"You’re beautiful, with a great figure, and you have family, and background. In the entire Shen Zhou, there aren’t many rich beauties like you, it’s only normal not to dislike you."

Shi Qianxi’s eyes inexplicably held a trace of disappointment.

"Why aren’t you as bold as you used to be?"

Jiang Chen lifted his gaze, pulling at the corner of his mouth.

"You mean when I kidnapped you?"

The other person hasn’t forgotten, nor could he.

It was on that dark and windy night that the gears of fate began to turn.

"Does age really make people more fearful?"

Shi Qianxi murmured.

Jiang Chen wanted to laugh.

What does it have to do with age?

At that time, he was desperate, had no other choice, burning his bridges.

In other words.

It’s like someone barefoot not fearing a shoe-wearer.

Of course.

Discussing these things now has no meaning.

"I can’t take responsibility for you."

Shi Qianxi stared at him, suddenly silent, the expected table-thumping didn’t happen, nor did she get furious. Instead, Shi Qianxi chuckled.

"Though you’re less bold, you’re still different from other men, so... shameless."

Jiang Chen’s expression remained unchanged.

Her throat was sore.

Being scolded mildly certainly didn’t hurt.

"What do you want?"

He said calmly.

"Oh? Planning to solve the problem with money? Did you forget what you just said? In all of Shen Zhou, not many are wealthier than me."

Jiang Chen just silently looked at her.

"Why are you always so special to me?"

Special?

"Even according to a man’s playbook, shouldn’t you first eat your fill, then talk compensation? I just helped you with a check-up, and you’re satisfied?"

Jiang Chen’s expression darkened a bit.

"No need to explain. You and that Korean actress must have an unclear relationship too. Though she’s clever, eyes can’t lie. Just like you, do you dare say you don’t like me at all?"

Facing each other, Jiang Chen remained silent, perhaps thinking it’s futile to speak, the other wouldn’t listen, or... he was guilty.

"Today, I initially wanted to cause you trouble, but now, it’s unnecessary."

With that, she surprisingly opened another box of Golden Throat, took one out, and put it in her mouth.

"Now you seem to have only two choices, either remain a scumbag or speak with conscience."

How is that a choice?

It’s clearly being forced.

Also.

Not only is someone tired, surely Director Shi is tired too, back then, they were still young and wild in East Sea, but now?

Friends and buddies who used to mess around together are now married and settled.

"Didn’t you say you and Shu Rui are like sisters?"

Shi Qianxi smiled, almost in sync with Jiang Chen’s words, like she predicted his response.

"You have all these women around you, but you still don’t understand them. Do you truly not understand Shu Rui’s intentions?"

"Why would she help me? It’s because she lacks security, coming from an ordinary family, with nothing to rely on, how could she compete with the beauties around you?"

Saying this, Shi Qianxi paused, "Do you want to argue with me?"

So courteous.

But someone doesn’t need it, might as well go straight to the point.

Shi Qianxi didn’t seize this opportunity to mock him, instead continuing since someone didn’t argue, "Have you not noticed her efforts? She works so hard to learn, to grow, to become more excellent, all because of deep-seated fear and insecurity. Did she always have such a strong sense of ’ambition’?"

Jiang Chen fell silent.

Indeed.

Just look at today.

By the time he woke up, Li Shuru was already at work.

"I don’t know what suddenly triggered her again. But her helping me is actually to help herself."

Triggered?

Jiang Chen’s brows furrowed slightly.

Could it be.

Maybe it was because Lan Peizhi visited yesterday?

But there wasn’t any sign at all, she was still having tea and chatting.

"Did she say all this to you?"

Shi Qianxi replied without answering, "Now I understand why you fancy her; she’s indeed different from most girls, though ordinary, she has unique strengths."

Ordinary?

Do you know how popular Li Shuru was back at East University?

If it hadn’t been for her cold demeanor, she might not have lost to Luo Li’er.

Only this lady dared give such an evaluation of Li Shuru.

"Not just me fancying her. There’s also Sun Xiyu."

A composed Director Shi suddenly seemed frozen.

Sisters are sisters.

Doesn’t mean there’s no sense of comparison.

A simple sentence from someone pierced a sensitive wound in her heart.

She’s undeniably a strong person.

Yet, she lost to the same person twice.

Shi Qianxi’s face instantly lost its expression.

"Do you think this can ruin my relationship with her? Don’t you think your approach is too juvenile and simplistic?"

Jiang Chen wanted to laugh but couldn’t.

What approach?

Just mentioning it casually, stating facts.

No one can choose their origin.

So family should not be the standard to judge someone’s normalcy.

Not to mention Li Shuru, let’s talk about this lady.

Her specialness lies not in her status.

"Do you believe even if I call her now and tell her about the hospital situation, she won’t have any opinion?"

"I don’t believe."

Someone still couldn’t change their straightforward nature, or perhaps their stubborn mouth.

But today, they’ve met a formidable opponent.

Shi Qianxi immediately picked up the office phone and actually dialed a number.

"I was wrong."

Boss Jiang swiftly changed his tune, with no burden whatsoever.

Admitting mistakes is commendable.
