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

Chapter 85: An Eye-Opener

“Eh? The wrap-up ceremony for ‘Battle Leopard’?” Chen Guanglei couldn’t help but let out a light exclamation upon seeing the sign.

“‘Battle Leopard’?” Zhao Yulu also saw the same sign and a poster attached to a stand, “Could this be the ‘Battle Leopard’ that Wu Jing directed?”

“It must be,” Chen Guanglei smiled, “Really don’t know which idiot he conned into investing, making the movie happen. Just looking at this poster, you can tell the box office is going to tank.”

He checked his watch, “Yu Lu, we still have some time, why don’t we go check out the site of this ‘Battle Leopard’ wrap-up party and enjoy the spectacle?”

It was now half past eleven, there was still time for lunch, and being a little late wasn’t a problem.

“Sure,” Zhao Yulu had no objections and thought it would be interesting to have a look.

They arrived at the entrance of the venue.

“Quite lively, they all seem happy. I wonder what their faces will look like when the movie is released and bombs at the box office,” Chen Guanglei said with a face full of disdain.

“Fuck!” Suddenly, Chen Guanglei exclaimed.

“What’s wrong?” Zhao Yulu frowned.

This guy was a ‘rich second generation’ but he did not have the best manners, often cursing.

That was one of the reasons she didn’t like Chen Guanglei.

In this regard, objectively speaking, Xu Yang was infinitely better than Chen Guanglei.

In any kind of situation, Xu Yang rarely cursed.

If he did curse, it meant that Xu Yang had really encountered some extremely terrible situation.

Unlike Chen Guanglei, who blurted out curses from time to time.

“The guy taking a group photo on the stage is Xu Yang!” Chen Guanglei said in surprise.

“It really is Xu Yang!” Zhao Yulu’s eyes widened in shock.

Looking at Xu Yang’s position, he was right in the middle, the coveted C position.

This was a photo session for the investors.

Without a doubt, Xu Yang was the biggest investor.

“I get it, the last investor Wu Jing found was Xu Yang.”

“Such an idiot, actually investing in ‘Battle Leopard.’ He’ll cry when it flops at the box office.”

“Investing in ‘Fishermen’s Fireworks,’ and now in ‘Battle Leopard,’ I really don’t know where he gets the courage from.”

“Even my dad wouldn’t dare to invest like that, yet he does it without any hesitation, it’s like he’s asking for it.”

Chen Guanglei’s face was full of mockery and Schadenfreude.

“He’s the biggest investor, he must have invested a lot, but how could he have so much money?” Zhao Yulu was puzzled.

Could it be that Xu Yang really made money from somewhere else?

“He must have mortgaged his villa and car for loans, otherwise, it’s impossible for him to have the money,” Chen Guanglei speculated.

“Possibly,” Zhao Yulu nodded.

She really couldn’t imagine how else Xu Yang could have made money.

She certainly didn’t think that Xu Yang could make money through futures investment and bargain hunting.

“Yu Lu, isn’t that your sister there? She must have come with Xu Yang. Do you want to go greet her?” Chen Guanglei then saw Zhao Yuxin.

Seeing Zhao Yuxin, he was reminded of Xu Yang enjoying the company of sisters, which annoyed him immensely.

How could Xu Yang, a poor guy from a small town, be so lucky when he himself wasn’t?

“No, let’s go,” Zhao Yulu didn’t feel like greeting anyone, not knowing what to say.

The relationship between the sisters was already strained.

Her ex-boyfriend turning into her brother-in-law made their relationship even more awkward.

She didn’t know what Zhao Yuxin thought, but she felt a bit uncomfortable whenever she faced her sister.

“Then let’s not greet her. Let’s go eat. After the meal, we’ll head to the Jade Trading Center,” Chen Guanglei naturally had no objections.

Zhao Yulu nodded and left with Chen Guanglei.

…

The wrap party was over, and it was time to eat.

During the meal, Tang Zhengqi said, “Ladies and gentlemen, today at the Haicheng Jade Trading Center, a batch of raw jade stones has arrived. I wonder if any of you would be interested in taking a look?”

He was not only a collector of antiques, but sometimes he would gamble on stones as well.

To him, it was also a form of treasure appraisal.

“Chairman Tang, I don’t understand stone gambling, so I’ll pass on joining you.”

“Chairman Tang, I tried it before and lost millions, I dare not touch it again.”

“Chairman Tang, in my view, gambling on stones is no better than taking a punt in Aocheng.”

Everyone seemed uninterested.

Tang Zhengqi, feeling helpless, turned to Xu Yang and said, “Young Xu, you should know about stone gambling, right? How about we go take a look after we finish eating?”

Xu Yang had wanted to refuse, but then he suddenly thought of his Appraisal Master Skill, which was effective in appraising antiques. He wondered if it would have an effect on gambling stones.

If it did work, it wouldn’t be a bad way to make a quick and substantial profit.

Thinking this, Xu Yang nodded and said, “Sure, I’ll accompany brother Tang for a look.”

“That’s great,” Tang Zhengqi exclaimed happily. “With your ability, finding a few raw stones with jade should be no trouble at all.”

Xu Yang gave a wry smile and said, “Brother Tang, to tell you the truth, I’ve never gambled on stones. I’m just going along to broaden my horizons.”

Tang Zhengqi replied, “Young Xu, you’re too modest. Even if you’ve never done it before, I still believe in you.”

All Xu Yang could say was, “Then I’ll take brother Tang’s kind words to heart.”

After the meal, Xu Yang said goodbye to the others. The others went their separate ways and did their own things.

Xu Yang then, accompanied by Zhao Yuxin and Tang Zhengqi, headed to the Jade Trading Center.

Seeing that Xu Yang was driving a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, Tang Zhengqi expressed his surprise, “Young Xu, I had no idea you drove a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. You really keep a low profile.”

Xu Yang laughed and said, “Brother Tang, after earning a bit of money, I didn’t want to shortchange myself. Unlike you, I spend my money on consumer goods, while you invest yours.”

They each got into their cars and set off for the Jade Trading Center.

In the car, Zhao Yuxin asked, “Honey, do you know how to gamble on stones?”

Xu Yang shook his head, “No.”

Zhao Yuxin asked in confusion, “Then why did you agree to go gamble on stones with Chairman Tang?”

In her opinion, stone gambling was much like gambling.

Honestly, she didn’t approve of Xu Yang going.

But since Xu Yang had agreed, she naturally wouldn’t insist on him not going in front of others.

That would reflect poorly on Xu Yang, making it seem as if he were under the thumb of a strict wife, which would be embarrassing for him.

Xu Yang replied, “Wife, like I said, I’m just going to take a look and learn something new.”

Zhao Yuxin said reluctantly, “Alright then.”

Ten minutes later, they arrived at the Haicheng Jade Trading Center.

Since Xu Yang had never been there before, he asked Tang Zhengqi for advice, “Brother Tang, can you tell me how this stone gambling works?”

Tang Zhengqi asked, “Young Xu, have you really never done this before?”

At the dinner table earlier, he had thought Xu Yang was just being polite.

But now, seeing that Xu Yang was still asking, it seemed he really hadn’t.

Xu Yang replied helplessly, “Brother Tang, I honestly haven’t.”

Tang Zhengqi’s expression turned serious, and he nodded, “Alright, let me explain…”

He briefly explained the situation, including how to choose raw stones, some bargaining tactics for purchasing them, and what to pay attention to when cutting them open.

Listened intently, Xu Yang was amazed, nodding continuously.

Even Zhao Yuxin listened with great interest.

She had never been to such a place before, and this was quite the eye-opening experience for her.
