I Have 10 Trillion Dollars only Usable For Simping
Chapter 314 - 303 is pretty reasonable, right?

Chapter 314: 303 is pretty reasonable, right?

Not even Jiang Chen, it seems, could have anticipated such a scene, let alone the founder of Jinhai Industrials.

The two men found themselves speechless as they faced each other.

The most natural in the room, no doubt, was Miss Shi herself.

Being held in someone’s arms right in front of her own father, she acted as if nothing was amiss. After urging Jiang Chen to call for help, and seeing her father remain silent for a long time, she immediately reminded him, "Dad, he’s greeting you."

Her impartiality was indeed flawless.

As fair as a perfectly balanced bowl of water.

"Don’t you have legs of your own?"

Shi Zhenhua, who had already walked downstairs, glanced at Jiang Chen, then lowered his gaze with a somber expression.

He had indeed promised that as long as his daughter was obedient and went to work honestly, he wouldn’t interfere in her love life.

But she couldn’t be this unrestrained!

"Dad, I don’t have the strength. I was drugged by someone."

Shi Zhenhua frowned.

"Yes, Director Shi, Miss Shi was indeed drugged, and currently she can’t walk, so I had to carry her back," Jiang Chen quickly added to avoid any misunderstandings, showing that his actions were purely out of a desire to help.

"What happened?"

Shi Zhenhua’s frown deepened.

"Dad, it was Chen Zhou! He actually wanted to... If it hadn’t been for Jiang Chen tonight, you might never see me again!"

Shi Qianxi’s anger was hard to calm.

Chen Zhou?

Shi Zhenhua’s eyes fluctuated with emotion. He was silent for a while, finally telling Jiang Chen, "Put her down first."

He knew of this young man, but this was their first meeting.

Jiang Chen, as if pardoned, quickly placed the hot potato onto the sofa.

He had planned to leave as soon as the matter was concluded, but now it was clear he couldn’t just walk away.

"What are you standing for, sit down," said Miss Shi, patting the sofa with an unruffled demeanor.

Jiang Chen, far from being as carefree, stood stiffly by the sofa. It was not primarily out of apprehension of authority, but rather, the unease a junior feels in the presence of an elder.

"Sit."

It wasn’t until Shi Zhenhua spoke that he sat down, naturally keeping a prudent distance from Shi Qianxi.

"Would you like something to drink?"

Shi Zhenhua asked.

"No, thank you,"

Jiang Chen quickly shook his head.

"Dad, I want some water,"

Having cried so much, Shi Qianxi surely needed to rehydrate.

Only then did Shi Zhenhua notice his precious daughter’s slightly swollen eyes.

The housekeeper quickly came over to pour the tea.

"You should go rest now."

After pouring the tea, the housekeeper left.

The spacious hall was suddenly left with only the three of them.

"You said Chen Zhou drugged you?"

Shi Zhenhua asked.

"Mhm."

Shi Qianxi looked at Jiang Chen, "Could you pass me the cup?"

Jiang Chen complied.

Shi Zhenhua observed this silently, without a word.

Fortunately, Miss Shi did not make the excessive request to be spoon-fed. After some time to recover, she was capable of drinking water by herself.

"What exactly happened?"

After she had taken a few sips of water, Shi Zhenhua continued to inquire.

"That pervert Chen Zhou, he’s been stalking me this whole time. Dad, it must be because you demoted him, and I didn’t speak up for him, so he harbored resentment. Tonight after dinner, when I was about to come home, he sneaked into my car without me noticing, knocked me out, and then took me to a pub..."

Having weathered many storms in his life, Shi Zhenhua had seen it all and had a good grasp of the situation.

He had transferred Chen Zhou to the administrative department, indeed meaning it as a demotion, but had not anticipated such a bold move from the man.

Logically, even if someone was resentful and dissatisfied, a sane person wouldn’t become this crazily vicious just because of a job reassignment.

It wasn’t that Shi Zhenhua was unguarded, just that some details are indeed beyond prediction.

"Did he do anything else to you?"

Shi Zhenhua asked, without any visible emotional fluctuation on the surface.

Any father, faced with such a situation, would surely be livid with fury.

But this was a big shot for you.

His emotions were imperceptible.

Jiang Chen reflected to himself.

"Thankfully, Jiang Chen arrived just in time. He was about to undress me when Jiang Chen got there and kicked him away with a single blow,"

Upon hearing this, one could see Shi Zhenhua’s tightly clenched hand relax somewhat.

Thereafter,

He couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Chen.

"Director Shi, rest assured, Miss Shi has only been frightened," Jiang Chen said. Although Shi Qianxi described it lightly, Jiang Chen’s actions this night were undeniably a great service to the Shi family. But he showed no desire for recognition or reward, remaining modest and composed.

"Then why can’t you walk now?"

Shi Zhenhua didn’t offer any pleasantries and turned his attention back to his daughter.

"It’s okay. Chen Zhou said it was some muscle relaxant, and I should be fine in three hours,"

Jiang Chen felt it was about time to take his leave, having fulfilled his role, and it was time for a graceful exit.

"Director Shi, since Miss Shi is alright now, I will not impose any further,"

He made a move to get up.

Before Shi Zhenhua could speak, Shi Qianxi quickly said, "Where would you go this late? If you return to your school now, the dormitory will probably be closed."

After all, it wasn’t as if her father didn’t know about this guy’s background; there was no need for pretense.

"Stay here for the night. If it weren’t for you, I’d probably be ruined for life,"

It seemed casual, yet it undoubtedly emphasized Jiang Chen’s contribution again.

Looking at the young duo, Shi Zhenhua remained silent.

Jiang Chen certainly didn’t want to stay, but it was difficult to refuse outright.

"Dad, you don’t mind, do you?"

Shi Qianxi asked her father again.
