Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xie Pengfei: [I asked, and Xu Yang said that the money he made in the futures market wouldn’t be enough to buy a villa. But last week, he strolled through Antique Street and made a huge profit from the treasure he found, enough to buy a villa.]

Classmate H: [Wow, Xu Yang is really lucky.]

Classmate J: [Damn, I’ve been to Antique Street too, and didn’t see any treasures lying around.]

Classmate K: [It seems like Xu Yang hogs all the good luck. Unbelievable!]

Classmate L: [He married a beautiful wife, and bought luxury cars and villas. Xu Yang is definitely winning at life.]

Classmate Y: [It’s only been a few months since graduation, and Xu Yang has achieved something that many of us might never achieve in our entire lives.]

Classmate M: [It’s not a matter of might not achieve, it’s a matter of definitely not achieving. At least for me, working hard every day, I’ll never be able to afford a villa.]

Classmate N: [Comparing ourselves to Xu Yang is just frustrating.]

Classmate Q: [Have you noticed that it seems like Xu Yang and Zhao Yulu broke up, and after getting together with Zhao Yuxin, he’s changed? He’s making money from trading futures and now finding treasures.]

Classmate X: [Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. It means Zhao Yuxin is a good luck charm, Xu Yang found himself a great wife.]

Classmate U: [You guys, don’t say that. Zhao Yulu might not like hearing it.]

Classmate I: [Zhao Yulu hasn’t been saying much lately. I wonder what’s going on.]

Classmate T: [Maybe she feels awkward because Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin’s life is getting better, and she doesn’t want to show her face.]

Classmate P: [Don’t be so quick to judge; maybe she’s just busy with work.]

Classmate T: [@Xu Yang, @Zhao Yuxin, your life is getting better and better. When are you planning to have the wedding?]

Classmate R: [Yes, this is an important question. You’re already married, and you’ve bought luxury cars and villas; the wedding should be on the agenda.]

…

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin returned home and saw the messages in the group chat, bringing smiles to their faces.

When they reached the question about the wedding, Xu Yang said, “Honey, regarding our wedding, I want to focus on building our careers first. We can have a grand wedding later; what do you think?”

It wasn’t that Xu Yang didn’t want a wedding, but he believed in giving Zhao Yuxin a perfect and grand one, which would require improved social status and some time.

“Sure, honey, I’m with you. Whenever you want to have the wedding is fine with me,” Zhao Yuxin agreed. They were both young and not in a hurry to have children. It wasn’t an issue to have the wedding later.

Later, they arranged their belongings and planned to go to the neighborhood supermarket to buy groceries. Zhao Hai and the others were coming over for dinner in the evening.

As they were about to leave, Xu Yang’s phone rang. It was a call from his mom.

“My mom’s calling. Let’s take a break first and return her call,” Xu Yang said.

“What? Your mom… no, my future mother-in-law called? It’s better if I don’t talk to her on the phone for the first time,” Zhao Yuxin quickly stepped aside.

“You’re my wife; why would it be a problem to talk to my parents?” Xu Yang was puzzled.

“No, I’d rather meet your parents in person for the first time in real life,” Zhao Yuxin explained.

“Why is that?” Xu Yang couldn’t understand.

“Just a feeling that it would be better this way,” Zhao Yuxin struggled to explain her reasoning, but she just felt that for the first meeting, it would be better to do it in person.

“Alright, let’s wait a bit. When the time is right, I’ll take you to meet my parents, and we can talk to them over the phone,” Xu Yang reassured Zhao Yuxin.

“Yeah, please answer the call,” Zhao Yuxin urged Xu Yang.

“Mom,” Xu Yang answered the call and greeted his mother, “What’s up?”

“Yang, what are you doing?” Jiang Qiuping, his mother, began the conversation.

“Nothing much, Mom. It’s Sunday today, so no work. Just relaxing at home,” Xu Yang replied, not mentioning his resignation yet. He planned to discuss that with his parents in person later.

“Yang, now that you’re married, you should consider buying a house. Renting isn’t a long-term solution, and it’s not fair to Yuxin,” Jiang Qiuping advised.

“Your father and I have discussed it. We’ve saved up eight hundred thousand yuan in our lifetime. Recently, we got back some money from various sources, making it a total of one million yuan. We want to give it to you. We know that the housing prices in Jaster City are high. We don’t know if this one million yuan is enough to pay the down payment. If it’s not enough, let us know and we’ll borrow some from our relatives and friends.” Jiang Qiuping continued. She was aware of Xu Yang’s marriage and had talked to her husband about it.

Hearing that, Xu Yang’s eyes welled up. One million yuan was definitely their limit, and they were willing to give it all to him. Additionally, they were willing to borrow more from relatives and friends if needed.

If it wasn’t for the system, he would have accepted the money from his parents after he married Zhao Yuxin to give her a better life. But now, with the system, there was naturally no need. No matter what, at this moment, he felt the deep love of his parents.

“Mom, you don’t need to give me any money. I have enough,” Xu Yang controlled his emotions and quickly reassured Jiang Qiuping.

“Where did you get the money from? It’s okay, I won’t disturb your rest. I’ll go to the bank later and transfer the money to you,” Jiang Qiuping said.

“It’s true, Mom. I’ve come into some money. And about buying a house, you don’t need to worry either. I’ve already purchased a house. In fact, I just moved into it today. I was planning to call and tell you about it this evening,” Xu Yang explained.

“Where did you get the money to buy a house?” Jiang Qiuping was puzzled.

“Mom, Yuxin’s father gave her two million yuan to buy a house. It was also for us to pay the down payment. I used that money to invest in futures and earned a lot,” Xu Yang said.

“Is what you said true?” Jiang Qiuping still couldn’t believe it. She had heard of futures, but she had never done it before. It was just that she heard that the risk was very high, but if one did it well, one would earn a lot.

“Mom, do you think I’d lie to you? I’ll show you around the house,” Xu Yang switched to a video call, walking around their spacious living room.

Zhao Yuxin retreated to her room at that moment.

“Is this your living room? It’s so big! And stairs going upstairs? What kind of house did you buy?” Jiang Qiuping ventured a guess but wasn’t certain.

“Mom, I bought a villa, a two-story villa,” Xu Yang chuckled.

“What? A villa! How much does that cost? Even regular houses are very expensive. A villa must cost tens of millions. Did you really make all that money from investing in futures? Yang, you’re not involved in any illegal activities, are you?” Jiang Qiuping worriedly asked, wondering if her son had resorted to illegal means.

‘Yang had suddenly become rich. What if he had done illegal things to earn the money? And he lied to me using investment in futures as a cover-up?’ Jiang Qiuping thought.

“Mom, how could you think that? You know I have a decent job. While it might not make me super wealthy, I can lead a comfortable life. There’s no need for illegal activities,” Xu Yang assured her.

“True,” Jiang Qiuping nodded, “But making so much money from futures trading alone is unlikely. Did you have any other sources of income?”

“Yes, Mom. I also got lucky. I found a valuable item at Antique Street, bought it for 50,000 yuan, and sold it for 50 million yuan. That’s how I could afford the villa,” Xu Yang explained.

“What? You bought something for 50,000 yuan and sold it for 50 million yuan!” Jiang Qiuping exclaimed in disbelief.

“Yes, Mom, it’s true. I’m not lying to you. In detail, I’ll explain everything when Yuxin and I visit during the Mid-Autumn Festival,” Xu Yang reassured Jiang Qiuping.
