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

Chapter 60: Returning to Jiang City
Xu Yang said helplessly, “Then go ahead and talk about it.”

Listening couldn’t hurt, and whether to invest was his decision to make.

Han Yanghui immediately began, “Wu Jing’s movie is called ‘War Panther.’ It’s a military action film, and Wu Jing wrote, directed, and starred in it himself. The plot is…”

He briefly described the plot, then added, “Just by reading the script, it gets one’s blood pumping, showcasing our military and national pride. It’s very resonant, and Wu Jing is a director who demands perfection from himself. I think the box office will not be disappointing.”

Xu Yang gave a wry smile; he really couldn’t judge if it was worth the investment and was about to decline.

Just then, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Wu Jing’s directorial debut, the self-written, directed, and starred military action film ‘War Panther,’ defying low expectations, grossed five hundred million at the box office upon release. Three years later, ‘War Panther 2’ grossed an even more astounding fifty billion!]

[‘War Panther’ solidified Wu Jing’s standing in the film industry, and ‘War Panther 2’ elevated him to the status of a cinema nouveau riche, a superstar!]

Suddenly, Xu Yang was astounded.

He hadn’t expected Wu Jing’s two movies to perform so well at the box office.

Ignorance was bliss, but now that he knew, not investing would be foolish.

With this in mind, Xu Yang couldn’t help but nod and say, “Based on what you’ve said, it does sound good. How much more investment is Wu Jing’s film lacking?”

Han Yanghui’s eyes lit up, “Does that mean you’re willing to invest?”

Xu Yang replied, “I need to understand the full situation first. My funds also need to support the live streaming guild, so I can’t spare too much.”

Han Yanghui said, “I’m not sure about the exact amount needed, but it’s probably in the neighborhood of ten to twenty million.”

Xu Yang nodded, “If that’s all it takes, I could invest. But I need to talk with Wu Jing first and understand all the details before making the investment.”

“Of course,” Han Yanghui agreed. “Then I’ll give him your number, and he can contact you to arrange a meeting?”

Xu Yang nodded, “That’s fine.”

Han Yanghui said excitedly, “Great! If you invest, we can continue filming. I believe the returns won’t disappoint you.”

Xu Yang smiled, “I hope so.”

He certainly knew they wouldn’t disappoint.

The system had already indicated that ‘War Panther’ earned five hundred million and ‘War Panther 2’ an incredible fifty billion at the box office.

However, he couldn’t seem too eager, as that would mean losing the upper hand in negotiations.

Xu Yang’s interest in investing made Han Yanghui very happy.

The drinks that followed were somewhat excessive.

After the meal, as they left the restaurant, Xu Yang asked, “Need a ride home?”

Han Yanghui didn’t refuse, “Sure, my dad needed the car today too, and I ran here. I’ve had a bit too much to drink; I don’t feel like running anymore.”

“Get in the car,” Xu Yang gestured towards his vehicle.

“Holy shit! A Rolls-Royce Cullinan! This is your car?” Han Yanghui exclaimed upon seeing the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, instantly sobering up significantly.

He had noticed the Rolls-Royce Cullinan earlier and had been wondering whose car it was.

It turned out to be Xu Yang’s ride.

“Get in, stop making such a fuss,” Xu Yang said as he noticed Han Yanghui’s outcry attracting a lot of attention. Not wanting to draw a crowd, he reluctantly opened the rear car door and pushed Han Yanghui into the back seat.

Afterward, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin got into the car and started the Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

“Wow, driving a Rolls-Royce, now that’s luxury,” Han Yanghui commented as he inspected the car’s interior, clicking his tongue in admiration.

After dropping off Han Yanghui, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin headed home.

In the afternoon, the video editor sent over Xu Xiaoyu’s short video. Xu Yang watched it and then sent it to Xu Xiaoyu, instructing her to post it on Douyin.

Evening.

After dinner, Xu Yang logged into his mobile banking app, made a transaction, and then said, “Mom, I’ve transferred five million to your bank account. If you and dad need to buy anything, just go ahead and buy it.”

Jiang Qiuping was startled, “Why are you transferring so much money to me? Keep it for yourself.”

Xu Yang replied, “Mom, I have money now, just take it. I’m in Jiangcheng, and a lot of times I can’t take care of you two. Now that I have money, you don’t need to live as frugally as before. Spend the money that needs to be spent; the most important thing is to take care of your health.”

Jiang Qiuping said helplessly, “You child, we don’t have much to buy. But since you’ve transferred it, I’ll just save it for you. In case you need it one day, I’ll take it out for you to use. Anyway, you and Yuxin just live well in Jiangcheng. Don’t worry about us. Your dad and I are still young; you don’t need to be concerned.”

Xu Yang felt helpless but also knew that his parents had gotten used to frugal living and were not the type to spend lavishly anyway. No matter how much he urged, it would be no use. He could only say, “Mom, I understand. I suggested that you come live in Jiangcheng, but you didn’t want to. I will come back to see you more often.”

Xu Yang had brought up the idea of having his parents live with them in Jiangcheng on the night they returned.

But his parents didn’t want to, saying they weren’t used to the life in a big city and preferred the small county town.

In truth, they didn’t want to disrupt Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin’s life.

As long as their children were doing well, that was all that mattered to them. They didn’t need to fuss over anything else.

If Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin had children in the future, then they might consider moving to Jiangcheng to help with the children.

“Come back when you have time, but it’s okay if you’re busy. As long as you and Yuxin are living well, that’s the biggest wish your dad and I have,” Jiang Qiuping said.

“Don’t worry, Mom and Dad. Yuxin and I will be fine,” Xu Yang said.

The next day.

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin bid farewell to their parents and returned to Jiangcheng.

Of course, they took Xu Xiaoyu and her two friends with them.

As soon as she saw Xu Yang, Xu Xiaoyu excitedly ran over and grabbed his arm, “Brother, the video we made yesterday has gone viral! It’s got over five million views, a hundred thousand likes, fifty thousand shares, and fifty thousand comments. Even the followers have surged past a hundred thousand!”

She had been paying close attention to the video’s performance, constantly refreshing the page.

The view count was low during the day.

But by evening, the views were skyrocketing.

When she woke up this morning and saw such a high view count, it gave her quite a shock.

Several months of her efforts hadn’t been as successful as this video.

“Don’t get too excited, there will be many more moments like this in the future,” Xu Yang said calmly.

“Hehe, I’m just happy. With this video, I’m even more confident about the future,” Xu Xiaoyu giggled.

Afterward, the three of them put their luggage in the trunk and got in the car.

Since the holidays were over, there wasn’t any traffic on the way back.

They got back to Jiangcheng at a little past three in the afternoon.

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin took a few people shopping, treating Xu Xiaoyu to a lot of new clothes, shoes, and bags.

Zhao Yuxin said it wasn’t fair to only treat Xu Xiaoyu, so she also gave each of Xu Xiaoyu’s two friends a set of clothes.

The two friends felt lucky to benefit from Xu Xiaoyu’s aura and were overjoyed, repeatedly expressing their gratitude.

After shopping, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin treated the three to dinner, then arranged for them to stay in a hotel before heading home.

Once home, Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin couldn’t wait to be entwined with each other.

While at their hometown, it was embarrassing for them to do anything, so they had been holding back.

Back home, they didn’t have to worry about anything.

Soon, the sounds of their lovemaking echoed through the living room.
