I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping

Chapter 2435 - 1539: Even More Beautiful Than Today

"You’re back."

"Uncle Zhang left?"

"If he hasn’t left, is he staying the night?"

Jiang Chen and Fang Qing didn’t come back until after four in the afternoon.

"What are you saying?"

Pan Hui nudged her husband’s arm, signaling him to watch his words. After all, Zhang Zhongquan was Jiang Chen’s uncle.

"Jiang Chen, your uncle brought a lot of things over. Why don’t you take them back?"

There really were a lot of gifts.

All laid out on the table.

There were two boxes of Wuliangye liquor alone—quite a generous offering.

"He brought them for you, Aunt Pan. Why should I take them?"

"What would Jiang Chen need these things for now?" Fang Weiguo chimed in.

"Uncle Zhang came because of the house issue, right?"

Fang Qing asked.

"Of course, what else could it be? To visit me and your mom?"

Fang Weiguo shook his head. "Your Uncle Fang has a small mind, worried that we won’t acknowledge it."

"It’s understandable. Anyone would be anxious in such a situation, and it’s dragged on for so long."

Pan Hui turned to her daughter, "Qing Qing, you should stay in touch with him so he doesn’t have to run back and forth all the time. It’s quite a hassle."

"Fang Qing doesn’t need to handle this case. We’ve arranged another lawyer, who will meet with him tonight."

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Pan Hui was taken aback, glanced at her daughter, "But..."

"Don’t worry, Aunt Pan. The lawyer we’ve appointed is experienced and capable. He’s my uncle; I wouldn’t let him down."

"I think this is a great solution, the best of both worlds."

Fang Weiguo nodded in agreement, "It saves him from always thinking about bringing us gifts. It’s a burden on him, and awkward for us too."

"Weren’t you two helping Tie Jun pick out wedding dresses? How did it go?"

Pan Hui changed the topic.

"All set. A perfect match."

Jiang Chen spoke casually but inadvertently hit a nerve with the older couple.

After all, acting is just acting.

It’s not reality.

"I’ve met Tie Jun’s bride once; she’s a well-behaved and sensible girl, definitely a good home-maker," Fang Weiguo said.

"Yes, you have to remind Tie Jun that once he’s married, he has more responsibilities and should never let her down."

"Don’t worry, Aunt Pan. Tie Jun is more likely to get let down by others than to let others down."

"You cheeky kid."

Pan Hui chuckled and scolded.

"By the way, how much are you planning to give as the wedding gift?"

Fang Weiguo asked the kids.

"We’ve discussed it with Tong Dan, 66,000 yuan."

"66,000 yuan?"

Pan Hui looked at her daughter in shock.

"Why the fuss? They’ve grown up together since childhood. Is 66,000 a lot?"

As a man, Fang Weiguo could keep his cool, while his wife, who had spent most of her life enduring hardships with him, was used to it. Usually, when attending weddings, they never saw such heavy gifts, so they overlooked the accomplishments their children had achieved.

The daughter’s 66,000 yuan was like their 600 yuan — no difference.

"Besides, isn’t a wedding gift about reciprocity?"

Realizing this, Pan Hui nodded awkwardly, "Yes, that’s true."

"Did Tie Jun ask you to be his best man?"

"How did you know, Uncle?"

"Haha."

Fang Weiguo looked smug, "He asked Qing Qing to be the bridesmaid, how could he spare you? Are there any performances planned?"

Jiang Chen immediately shook his head.

"Rejecting tacky wedding entertainment."

"You brat!"

Fang Weiguo playfully scolded, "It’s not like it’s your wedding. What entertainment? Aren’t performances by the best man and bridesmaid common in today’s weddings?"

"Uncle, you’ve been watching too many online jokes. Nowadays, young people prefer simplicity for weddings. Besides, do you think your daughter has any special talents? Singing? Dancing? We can’t have her doing legal education at the wedding, can we?"

Fang Weiguo was momentarily speechless.

"Go away!"

Fang Qing couldn’t help but say.

"Well said!"

Fang Weiguo feigned discontent, "You brat, looking down on our Qing Qing? Even if my daughter does nothing, just standing on stage, she’d still be the focus."

"What nonsense."

Pan Hui tapped his arm, "It’s not your daughter getting married anyway."

These words instantly evoked a feeling of melancholy in Fang Weiguo, making him suddenly dejected, sighing softly.

"All these kids around us are getting married one by one. I wonder when I can attend my family’s own wedding," he sighed.

"Uncle, people with great aspirations are like that. You see those striving in big cities, most marry and have children late."

"Yes, it’s okay."

Pan Hui nodded in agreement, "Anyway, Jiang Chen promised me that if Qing Qing doesn’t settle down, he won’t either. I have the recording."

Now it was Jiang Chen’s turn to be speechless.

Was that really the content of last night’s recording?

"Really? Then I can rest assured."

Fang Weiguo nodded, seemingly relieved.

The couple was clearly working in tandem.

It had only been one night, and they unilaterally altered the "promise." What would happen if more time passed?

Jiang Chen smiled wryly, unable to argue.

"Mom, recordings can’t be used as evidence."

"..."

"..."

"..."

The room fell silent.

Qing Gege was back to her professional habits.

Pan Hui glared at her, annoyed, thinking how this girl could always side with others.

Jiang Chen cleverly kept quiet but felt deeply gratified inside,

Qing Gege was still fair and objective.

Ignoring her parents’ glances, Fang Qing looked at the one who was saved, "Be sure to inform me when the wedding happens."

For some reason, upon hearing this, Jiang Chen’s lightheartedness vanished instantly, and under Uncle Fang and Aunt Pan’s gaze, he pretended to be natural and forced a smile.

"Of course."

He actually wanted to joke that maybe she’ll get married first, but he didn’t say it out loud.

"Save a spot for me as a bridesmaid."

A casual comment, but it made Jiang Chen’s pupils tremble fiercely.

Being a bridesmaid for Tie Jun had no impact, but why did the idea of her being his bridesmaid...

Jiang Chen couldn’t maintain his forced smile.

"I might not arrange for a best man or bridesmaid."

He bowed his head slightly so no one could see his expression change.

"Afraid I’ll embarrass you?"

Fang Qing smiled, "Don’t worry, on your wedding day, I’ll definitely look stunning, even more so than today."

What is a top lawyer?

It’s not about exploiting legal loopholes but attacking the deepest weaknesses hidden in people’s hearts.

The most lethal weapon in the world has never been a bullet.

"Uncle Fang, Aunt Pan, I’ll go check if the water heater has been fixed."

Jiang Chen was utterly defeated, unable to maintain his facade. His firm composure crumbled in an instant, and he stumbled to his feet, fleeing.

Not just Jiang Chen.

The older couple were also shaken by their daughter’s words.

The impact was really too strong.

Clearly, as soon as their daughter made a move, Jiang Chen had no power to resist. So why did it come to this today?

Sigh...

Fang Weiguo sighed quietly, supporting his knees.

"I’m going for a walk."
