Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

“Thanks, Junyi!” Both Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin expressed their gratitude. Lin Junyi was really kind to them after all.

Soon, the food was served, and all of them were signature dishes of the restaurant.

Xu Yang was experiencing this kind of private dining establishment for the first time. With his salary, he couldn’t come here. He hadn’t been here with Zhao Yulu either, because Lin Junyi was familiar with Zhao Hai and Zhao Yuxin, not with Zhao Yulu.

Lin Junyi only took them here after Xu Yang was together with Zhao Yuxin. Otherwise, Xu Yang wouldn’t have had the chance.

After three rounds of toasts and five flavors of dishes, Lin Junyi asked, “Xu Yang, Yuxin, have you been following short clips lately?”

Xu Yang shook his head and said, “No.”

It seemed that Lin Junyi didn’t invite them to dinner just for the sake of it.

Zhao Yuxin asked, “Junyi, why are you asking about this? What do you want to do?”

Lin Junyi explained, “I find short clips quite fun. I’m already working on it, but the results aren’t very promising. I think you guys should take a look. Maybe you can make something out of it. If you can succeed, it could be an extra source of income. Nowadays, there aren’t many fields where working professionals can earn extra money. And if it’s an area with explosive growth, it’s definitely the short clips industry.”

Lin Junyi wanted to discuss this with them. Both of them had stable jobs, but precisely because their jobs were stable, there wouldn’t be much fluctuation. To improve their lives and climb up the social ladder was quite difficult.

Lin Junyi wanted to share this with them, hoping they could earn money from it. It could be said that he genuinely wanted to help them.

Now, both Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin understood Lin Junyi’s intention.

Zhao Yuxin said, “Junyi, thank you. We’ll have a look into it. We’ll study it when we get back. If it worked out well, it could increase our income.”

Xu Yang nodded and added, “Junyi, thank you.”

Although Xu Yang had the system now and wouldn’t have to worry about not making money in the future, Lin Junyi’s gesture was truly rare. Moreover, if they could succeed in the short clips industry, it would be quite impressive.

Lin Junyi waved his hand and said, “It’s just a suggestion. You guys can decide how to proceed.”

At the same time, Zhao Yulu and Chen Guanglei were having dinner at a Western restaurant.

Zhao Yulu said, “Chen Guanglei, didn’t you say that the price of gold would drop? It went up to the limit last night.”

Zhao Yulu had checked the gold futures prices this morning, initially to see if the price of gold had dropped, to persuade Xu Yang to cut his losses and lend her the remaining money. But when she looked, she was dumbfounded.

Last night, the Lighthouse International Reserve unexpectedly cut interest rates by 2%, causing the price of gold to surge. The domestic gold futures had hit the limit. During the day today, the price was still locked at the limit. When the market opened later at night, there might even be another limit up.

It made Zhao Yulu quite annoyed. Now her hopes of borrowing money from Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin were completely dashed. She couldn’t even taunt Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin anymore.

Moreover, there was one thing that puzzled Zhao Yulu, ‘How was Xu Yang so certain that the price of gold would rise? He had invested the entire two million yuan meant for buying a house directly.’

Knowing Xu Yang after four years of dating, Zhao Yulu understood him well. He wasn’t a risk-taker. He wouldn’t invest the two million meant for buying a house unless he was absolutely certain. She couldn’t figure out what gave him such confidence.

Zhao Yulu thought, ‘Could it be that Xu Yang had such high investment capabilities that he could accurately predict that the price of gold would rise by a hundred percent? But that’s impossible! Not to mention Xu Yang, even the world’s top investment experts wouldn’t dare to claim with a hundred percent certainty whether a certain futures product would rise or fall. Xu Yang’s actions were like those of a gambler. But Xu Yang clearly wasn’t a gambler.’

That left Zhao Yulu utterly puzzled. Thinking about what she said to Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin on the phone yesterday, she felt like a clown, utterly laughable. She kept saying that the price of gold would fall, but it didn’t fall at all. Instead, it hit the limit. It was as if it was deliberately countering her, giving her a slap in the face.

That also made Zhao Yulu a bit dissatisfied with Chen Guanglei. After all, it was he who had said that the price of gold would fall.

Chen Guanglei chuckled and explained, “Yulu, you can’t blame me for this. It’s purely a black swan incident. No one expected that the Lighthouse International Reserve would cut interest rates by 2%, causing significant losses for many large international investment funds.”

Zhao Yulu glanced at Chen Guanglei and said, “But Xu Yang bought in advance and made a fortune.”

Chen Guanglei’s face stiffened, and he hurriedly said, “That’s beginner’s luck. This kind of success in financial investment is not sustainable. It’s like his current situation. He won’t be able to repeat how he made money. You’ll see, sooner or later, he’ll fall flat on his face in the financial investment market.”

Zhao Yulu found Chen Guanglei’s words reasonable. But this time, Xu Yang really made money. Which left her speechless in front of Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin.

Chen Guanglei continued, “Yulu, you have to believe me. I understand this industry very well. Many people make money in this market purely by chance. They earn huge amounts of money during market trends and then lose it all back. Even the capital. So, don’t envy Xu Yang for making money now. It’s not worthy of envy. Instead, you should feel sorry for him. Because this will reinforce his gambling mentality, and he will continue to do so in the future. Eventually, he will lose everything. That’s Xu Yang’s inevitable outcome!”

Zhao Yulu found it a bit hard to believe and asked, “Really? Can’t he just make money and then stop?”

Chen Guanglei explained, “It’s impossible. He has already tasted success, and he will keep going. At the very least, he’ll lose everything and exit the financial investment market. People like him are everywhere in the financial market.”

Zhao Yulu frowned and said, “Doesn’t that mean Yuxin’s future life will be miserable?”

It wasn’t that Zhao Yulu was concerned about her sister; it was just that she felt it was a waste for her sister to be with Xu Yang.

Chen Guanglei said, “Certainly, Xu Yang will lose everything, and your sister’s life won’t be any better. I think you should advise your sister to leave him.”

Chen Guanglei felt envious of Xu Yang. Xu Yang, a poor boy from a small county, was enjoying life with the two sisters. It was something he, as a rich heir, couldn’t even achieve. Of course, he believed in himself. Sooner or later, he would win over Zhao Yulu. If Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin were to break up, he might also be able to enjoy life like Xu Yang, with both sisters. That kind of life would be the true winner in life.

Zhao Yulu shook her head and said, “Yuxin won’t listen to me. Yesterday, I asked her to persuade Xu Yang to sell the gold futures, but she kept saying she trusted Xu Yang. Now that the price of gold has risen and Xu Yang has made money, she’ll be even less likely to listen to me.”

Chen Guanglei nodded and said, “That makes sense. Once he loses money in the future, try persuading her again. That might be more effective.”

Zhao Yulu nodded and said, “If Xu Yang really loses money, I’ll try to persuade her.”

Chen Guanglei smiled and said, “That day isn’t far off. Xu Yang will most likely continue investing soon since he made money this time. And he’ll probably go all in. Let’s wait and see as he goes from heaven to hell in the financial market.”
