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

Chapter 122: Slapped in the Face Again
Yang Family.

“What the hell is Chen Guanglei doing? Can’t even handle such a small matter, and he got caught with evidence, is he a pig?”

Yang Jingsheng, seeing the public opinion reverse, spoke without any restraint.

“How could it have reversed like this? I really don’t know how Xu Yang found evidence so quickly,” Yang Tiancheng said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.

They had gotten their hopes up for nothing.

They thought that through this incident, Xu Yang would be defeated, and both Fengcai Guild and Jiang Di Lao would go out of business.

Delicious Hotpot was supposed to welcome its spring.

But to their surprise, in less than an hour, public opinion had reversed.

Delicious Hotpot was still unable to escape its fate.

The father and son were in a bad mood; the New Year’s Eve dinner left a bad taste in their mouths.

After finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner, as in years past, the father and son left home to play cards.

Usually, the two wouldn’t return until 12 o’clock.

Liu Yujuan finished cleaning up the dishes and said to Zhao Yulu, “Yu Lu, I’m going to find your dad. Are you sure you don’t want to come with me?”

Zhao Yulu was sitting on the couch playing with her phone, not even lifting her head, and shook her head, “I’m not going. If you want to go, then go by yourself.”

She knew that Liu Yujuan going there would not end well.

“Alright, I’ll go by myself. For our mother-daughter livelihood, I’ll lower myself just this once.” Liu Yujuan dressed up a bit, picked up her purse, and left.

More than an hour later, Liu Yujuan came back, her expression very ugly.

“From your look, did dad not even let you enter the door?” Zhao Yulu was sitting on the couch, watching the Spring Festival Gala, and scrolling through her phone.

“I knocked on the door many times and nobody opened it. I called his phone, and he said he was at Xu Yang’s place. I could hear the clack of mahjong tiles, lively sounds; it was probably true. I never thought he would go to Xu Yang’s place to celebrate the New Year,” Liu Yujuan said, still with a miserable face.

“Even if he didn’t go to Xu Yang’s place to celebrate the New Year, you wouldn’t have a chance. Mom, just listen to me, don’t do this anymore, keep some dignity for yourself,” Zhao Yulu tried to persuade her again.

She really didn’t know what her mom was thinking, under these circumstances, to still think she could get back with dad.

Maybe that’s the delusion of being involved.

But as an outsider, she had already spoken up, and yet it didn’t clear up.

“I believe, as long as I see him more, he will definitely accept me again. I don’t believe that he has no feelings for me anymore,” Liu Yujuan said.

“Mom, do you really think he still has feelings for you?” Zhao Yulu asked incredulously.

“Of course, if he didn’t, why wouldn’t he find someone new? With his status, it would be very easy for him to find someone else. The fact that he hasn’t is proof he still has feelings for me,” Liu Yujuan insisted.

With Zhao Hai’s status—as a local and the owner of a restaurant, making hundreds of thousands a year—

Such a man was highly desirable, and Zhao Hai was quite handsome when he was young.

If Zhao Hai wanted to, there would definitely be a lot of girls throwing themselves at him.

In Liu Yujuan’s view, Zhao Hai not finding someone new was because he hoped she would come back to him with her daughter.

As for why Zhao Hai said those unfeeling words at lunch that day,

Liu Yujuan’s reason was that Zhao Yuxin was present, or it was a test of her sincerity.

What she needed to do was to bravely face the difficulties, ignoring Zhao Hai’s indifference, and keep seeking reconciliation. One day, Zhao Hai would agree.

“I really don’t know what to say to you,” Zhao Yulu was even more speechless.

…

The first day of the new year.

Xu Yang took his family and his second uncle’s family of three to watch “Battle Leopard.”

He had already told his family that he was the biggest investor for “Battle Leopard.”

After watching it, they came out of the cinema.

“Xu Yang, that movie was really good.”

“We’re glad you invested in such a movie, promoting national and military pride. We hope you’ll invest in more like it in the future.”

“As a woman, I was really engrossed in it, it was truly great.”

The family all gave it high praise.

Audiences who had seen it were mostly giving positive reviews.

Only an extremely few were nitpicking, saying it wasn’t good.

Xu Yang knew that these very few couldn’t affect the box office.

What influenced box office revenues was the majority.

In short, “Battle Leopard’s” box office was stable.

“`

River City.

Chen Guanglei and Zhao Yulu came out of the cinema, with Chen Guanglei’s face looking very unpleasant.

Originally, he had asked Zhao Yulu to watch “War Leopard” with him, so he could mock Xu Yang harshly in front of her.

Before watching the movie, he basically bad-mouthed “War Leopard,” saying things like it was sure to flop, the trailer might look good but the full movie definitely wouldn’t, that military action films are only popular when they’re from the glamorous nation and no one would watch a domestic one, and if anyone did, it would surely be met with nothing but criticism. As for the behind-the-scenes footage released by the promoters, he dismissed it as sheer tragedy marketing, and so on, ultimately devaluing “War Leopard” completely.

But after watching the movie, he was proven wrong.

He really wanted to say that “War Leopard” was garbage.

Yet, after thinking it over, he simply could not say it.

To call “War Leopard” garbage would only be deceiving himself.

No one is a fool, unless they’ve been paid to play dumb, or are people with stubbornly ingrained notions, who would say such a thing.

It was foreseeable that the box office for “War Leopard” would definitely not be bad.

Xu Yang, as the major investor of “War Leopard,” was sure to make a tidy profit.

This opportunity was originally his, but he failed to seize it.

It was picked up by Xu Yang instead.

Damn it, this Xu Yang, it’s unclear how, but it seems like whatever he does, he succeeds.

Futures, antiques picking, acquiring Fish Fire and renaming it River Bottom Catch, acquiring Fengcai Guild, investing in “War Leopard” – every single one of these made money.

And yet, all of these were things he himself had looked down on. The only thing he was interested in, the Fengcai Guild, he considered too costly and missed out on acquiring it, which was then bought by Xu Yang instead.

It’s as if Xu Yang was purposefully opposing him.

Right, there’s also Fengkai Mining’s aluminum mine.

That investment was truly lucrative.

He had convinced his father to invest in Jia Sheng Guild, causing his father to miss out on a chance to make a fortune of over a billion.

Thinking about all this, Chen Guanglei’s face turned even uglier.

However, he quickly composed himself and squeezed out a reluctant smile to Zhao Yulu, saying, “Yu Lu, I didn’t expect Xu Yang to be so lucky, to have invested in such a movie. It’s almost midnight, let’s go eat.”

“No thanks, I have something else, I’ll be leaving first,” Zhao Yulu shook her head, hailed a taxi and left.

Still speaking of Xu Yang’s good luck now would be nothing but self-deception.

Xu Yang had succeeded in so many things he done.

By contrast, Chen Guanglei had made so many mistakes.

Those opportunities that Chen Guanglei failed to grasp were instead seized by Xu Yang.

Zhao Yulu really couldn’t fathom how Xu Yang had become so insightful, managing to make money with every investment.

Though she didn’t understand how, she had to admit that Xu Yang had changed.

Compared to Xu Yang, Chen Guanglei seemed quite insignificant.

Not only was his judgment poor, but he also lacked the courage to admit his own mistakes, continuing to chalk up Xu Yang’s successful investments to mere good luck.

After all these events, aside from his identity as a rich second-generation, Chen Guanglei was practically useless.

Xu Yang easily crushed Chen Guanglei.

“Was it really a mistake to leave Xu Yang?”

Zhao Yuxin couldn’t help but ask herself.

This was the first time she questioned her decision.

The more successful Xu Yang became, the more it showed that her choice was wrong.

Chen Guanglei watched as Zhao Yuxin got into the car and left, his face immediately darkening.

Thinking to himself that she dared to show him attitude, what a piece of work.

If it weren’t for her pretty face, what right would she have to make him invite her to dinner?

Yet such thoughts, after all, would only remain inside his mind. They were not to be voiced.

He knew that with a woman like Zhao Yuxin, if he ever said such things, he would probably lose any chance with her altogether.

He took out his phone and dialed a number.

“Let’s have lunch together at noon.”

“Sure, where?”

“I’ll send you the address.”

After hanging up, Chen Guanglei sent out an address and got into his car to leave.

With Zhao Yuxin gone, he was on the lookout for another woman.

For someone of his wealthy second-generation status, finding a woman to have a meal with was almost too easy.
