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

Chapter 53: The Advantages of Being a Second-Generation Rich

Chen Guanglei’s face looked somewhat embarrassed, and he explained with an awkward smile, “Yu Lu, I never thought things would turn out like this, this is purely a black swan event—who would have thought that the boss of Blackstone Tech could be such a bastard.”

Zhao Yulu said, “Now the money is definitely gone—my money was all borrowed, totaling three million. How am I supposed to pay that back? You lend me some money first, so I can pay it back.”

Chen Guanglei said, “Yu Lu, I don’t have any money right now either, I’ve also lost big this time, investing fifteen million, which was all my savings. My dad’s company is in an even worse state, having invested several hundred million. My dad is in a bad mood, I don’t even dare to ask him for money.”

Zhao Yulu frowned and said, “So what am I supposed to do now?”

Chen Guanglei said, “Don’t panic, Yu Lu. Let’s think of a solution together. You borrowed a total of three million, two million of which were from your sister. That two million shouldn’t need to be repaid urgently, right?”

He wanted to say that the two million shouldn’t need to be repaid at all.

But after thinking about it, he changed his phrasing.

Zhao Yulu frowned and said, “Even if I don’t need to repay the two million urgently, there’s still one million left.”

The two million she wasn’t in a hurry to repay, since Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin are wealthy, they wouldn’t miss the two million.

No matter what, she was still Zhao Yuxin’s older sister. If she made a call and explained the situation to Zhao Yuxin, it should be okay—Yu Xin couldn’t possibly force her to repay the money.

However, even if she called to explain, she didn’t feel good about it.

Initially, she had been adamant that Blackstone Tech’s stock would rise.

Zhao Yuxin had mentioned, Xu Yang thought Blackstone Tech was very likely to plummet.

Yu Xin had also advised her not to buy it, but she didn’t listen.

Now, it turned out that Xu Yang was right.

This was practically a slap in her face.

Chen Guanglei said, “There’s still that one million. I’ll think of something during this period, there’s definitely a solution.”

Zhao Yulu said, “You have already made many mistakes. Last time with gold futures, your company’s analysts got it wrong. With antiques, you made a wrong appraisal yourself. You even missed a big loophole, and now with Blackstone Tech, that’s three mistakes in total. The most important thing is, Xu Yang was correct all three times.”

At her words, Chen Guanglei’s complexion turned somewhat unsightly.

In his view, Zhao Yulu comparing him to Xu Yang was an insult.

Xu Yang, what was he but a poor devil from a small county town?

Whereas he was a local from River City, a second-generation rich with family assets worth several billions.

What did it matter if Xu Yang made money in futures, or tens of millions in antiques, or if he was right about stocks?

What right did Xu Yang have to compare himself with him?

Yet, he had been wrong in these incidents, while Xu Yang had been right, giving him no grounds for rebuttal.

After a moment of silence, his expression returned to normal, and he forced an argument, “Yu Lu, I admit I was wrong these times, but there were reasons. With futures and stocks, such black swan events are unpredictable by anyone. Xu Yang getting it right was purely luck, like a blind cat running into a dead mouse. As for the matter of scoring a bargain, it’s the same. He definitely lacked the discernment, he just thought that painting looked nice and bought it, it just so happened that President Tang saw it. If it weren’t for President Tang, he would never have known it was authentic.”

Zhao Yulu didn’t speak.

Though Chen Guanglei was somewhat making excuses, there was some validity to his arguments.

Besides, she and Xu Yang had been a couple for a few years.

She knew very well what kind of person Xu Yang was and what his capabilities were.

If Xu Yang had such strong investment skills, he would have already made who knows how much money.

If he had an ability to appreciate antiques even better than the antique shop owner, he would have probably found countless bargains by now.

But in reality, Xu Yang just bought stocks a few times and then stopped.

As far as she knew, Xu Yang had never been to the antique street, nor did he have any ability to appreciate antiques.

Chen Guanglei added, “Yu Lu, things have already come to this, let’s not think too much about it. Rest assured, I will definitely find a way to settle that one million loan for you. Let’s talk about something cheerful.”

Zhao Yulu replied coldly, “What is there to be happy about now?”

Chen Guanglei said with a smile, “Yu Lu, it’s about the ten billion special investment fund of the Southwest Business Association and the custody bank for the funds.”

Zhao Yulu’s expression relaxed slightly, “Is there a result? Didn’t you say that your dad had tried to set up a meeting, but the person was too busy and there hasn’t been a chance for a face-to-face meeting?”

This matter was also very important.

Every time she met with Chen Guanglei, he would update her on the situation.

They had discussed it several times already. When they met two days ago, Chen Guanglei was still saying that his dad couldn’t secure a meeting because the other party was very busy.

Chen Guanglei said with a laugh, “Indeed very busy, but last night, my dad finally managed to meet him. He met with the vice president of the Southwest Business Association and had dinner with him.”

Zhao Yulu immediately asked, “How did it go?”

Chen Guanglei said proudly, “With my dad involved, how could it not be settled? My dad told me that the vice president promised to do his utmost to facilitate this matter.”

Zhao Yulu asked, “How long will it take?”

Chen Guanglei answered, “That’s not certain yet. Their special investment fund needs some time to fully get off the ground, and he also needs some time for his activities. Anyway, you don’t have to worry. Since the vice president said so, there definitely won’t be any issues.”

Zhao Yulu said, “Alright, I’ll wait for you to bring me good news.”

Chen Guanglei said with a smile, “Rest assured, it shouldn’t be long before you hear the good news, and by then, you will be my girlfriend.”

He had been fixated on this.

As long as Zhao Yulu became his girlfriend, he could get her into bed at the earliest opportunity.

After all, once they were in a relationship, there was no need to be hesitant about such matters.

Chen Guanglei went on, “By the way, let’s go watch a movie later. A new romance just came out, and it’s pretty good.”

Zhao Yulu shook her head, “I’m a bit tired. I want to go back and rest early.”

With her current mood, she had no desire to watch a movie with Chen Guanglei.

After all, she lost three million.

Even with the news of a ten billion fund custodian bank, it wasn’t enough to lift her spirits completely, not until it became a reality.

A touch of disappointment flickered through Chen Guanglei’s eyes: “Alright, then we’ll find time for it later.”

Under such circumstances, he couldn’t insist.

Having caused Zhao Yulu to lose three million, he felt somewhat guilty.

He knew that if it weren’t for his ability to secure a ten billion deal for Zhao Yulu, she probably wouldn’t even bother with him.

As for this, Chen Guanglei didn’t feel anything special.

This was the advantage of being a wealthy second-generation heir like him.

If it were someone like Xu Yang, a poor guy without money or connections, he would have probably been scolded by Zhao Yulu to no end by now.
