“Sure, I’ll wait for you to bring Yuxin home. By the way, is Yuxin not at home today?” Jiang Qiuping stopped dwelling on Xu Yang’s money-making and was now eager to meet her daughter-in-law.

“Yuxin had some things to attend to, so she’s not at home,” Xu Yang didn’t want to explain further and straightforwardly mentioned that Zhao Yuxin wasn’t at home.

“Alright, I won’t disturb your rest then. Remember to bring Yuxin back for the Mid-Autumn Festival. If you don’t bring her back, don’t bother coming back yourself,” Jiang Qiuping said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you meet your beautiful and sensible daughter-in-law,” Xu Yang chuckled.

End of the call, Zhao Yuxin came out of the room.

“Honey, I’ve already told my mom that we’ll visit my parents during the Mid-Autumn Festival,” Xu Yang said and embraced Zhao Yuxin.

“Okay.” Zhao Yuxin nodded, having no objections. Meeting the in-laws was inevitable, and the Mid-Autumn Festival seemed like a suitable occasion to do that.

Afterward, the two of them went out to buy groceries.

Around six in the evening, Zhao Yuxin’s father, Zhao Hai, her eldest uncle, Zhao Jiang, her cousin, Zhao Yuqing, and Lin Junyi arrived one by one.

“Congratulations on your new home!”

Each of them handed over a red envelope.

“Xu Yang, Yuxin, how did you manage to afford a villa?” Zhao Yuqing asked.

Last night, when Zhao Yuxin called them, she had already mentioned that they bought a villa. Except for explaining the details to Zhao Hai, Zhao Yuxin hadn’t told anyone else.

Xu Yang looked at Zhao Hai before saying, “I used the two million Dad gave us as a down payment for the house, then invested in futures and made over ten million…”

Before Xu Yang could finish, Lin Junyi exclaimed, “What? You invested in futures, used two million, and made over ten million?”

Lin Junyi also dabbled in stocks and futures but usually ended up losing more than he gained. Currently, he had several stocks that were trapped. As for futures, he usually closed his positions on the same day. He didn’t dare to hold them overnight because he had lost substantial sums several times due to overnight price gaps.

Xu Yang nodded, “That’s right.”

Lin Junyi eagerly asked, “What futures did you invest in? Recently, gold futures have been skyrocketing. The Lighthouse International Reserve lowered interest rates, causing a surge in gold prices. You didn’t buy gold futures, did you?”

Lin Junyi kept himself informed about financial news. Anyone involved in investments knew about the Lighthouse International Reserve’s interest rate reduction.

Xu Yang smiled and said, “I did buy gold futures, and they hit the limit up the next day.”

Lin Junyi exclaimed again, “Wow, you’re amazing! You bought gold futures and they hit the limit up the next day!”

After a pause, Lin Junyi added, “You used two million to make over ten million, and during that rally, you must have added to your position using unrealized gains; otherwise, you couldn’t have made that much.”

Xu Yang nodded, “Exactly.”

Lin Junyi gave Xu Yang a thumbs-up and said, “Xu Yang, I admire you for this. I need to learn from you after this. I’ve been trading stocks and futures for years, but I’m always losing. I’ve become a perennial loser.”

Xu Yang smiled and said, “We can discuss it when we have time.”

With the Master Trader skill, Xu Yang could offer some valuable insights. However, he couldn’t directly tell his friends what to buy or sell; it had to be a mutual exchange of information.

Zhao Yuqing asked, “Even if you made over ten million, you still couldn’t afford this villa. I checked before I came; villas here start at a minimum of thirty million.”

Zhao Jiang was also curious and asked, “Xu Yang, did you make money from other sources as well?”

Xu Yang nodded, “Yes, I went to Antique Street last week…”

Xu Yang briefly explained the story of his Antique Street find.

Lin Junyi couldn’t hold back and said, “Wow, you’re incredible! You went to Antique Street once and found such a treasure, making fifty million.”

Luck played a significant role in finding treasures. Sometimes, luck was even more important than expertise. For instance, the Wu Daozi painting that Xu Yang found, although not everyone recognized it as authentic, Tang Zhengqi did. However, Tang Zhengqi hadn’t shown up at the right time to see it first. If Tang Zhengqi had shown up before Xu Yang, the story would have been different then.

Zhao Jiang chuckled, “You seem to make money so easily.”

Zhao Yuqing looked envious because Xu Yang had just doubled his wealth in a short period.

Little did she know that Zhao Yulu, who hadn’t been informed yet, might feel regretful when she did. For now, though, Zhao Yulu remained unaware and thought that Xu Yang was just lucky.

Zhao Yulu hadn’t regretted anything yet and believed that Xu Yang had merely stumbled upon an opportunity. She didn’t know that Xu Yang had already gained such wealth.

Zhao Hai did not speak but he was very satisfied with Xu Yang as his son-in-law. He could rest assured that Zhao Yuxin had found happiness with Xu Yang.

Lin Junyi said, “By the way, I noticed a Maserati parked outside your house. Is it a recent purchase?”

Xu Yang nodded, “Yes, it’s a new one.”

Zhao Yuxin couldn’t help but interject, “You know, we originally wanted to buy a Porsche Panamera. But when we went to the Porsche dealership…”

Zhao Yuxin was still a bit upset about the incident at the Porsche dealership and recounted it to everyone.

Lin Junyi said, “That Yang Jingsheng, he’s really something.”

Zhao Yuqing added, “Maybe he didn’t know you had made money.”

Lin Junyi commented, “Even if he didn’t know, he shouldn’t have treated Xu Yang and Yuxin that way. It’s clear that he was just causing trouble for no reason. I hate people like that the most.”

Zhao Jiang remarked, “Actually, that supervisor is one of those who categorize customers into different tiers. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have believed Yang Jingsheng.”

Zhao Hai also shared his opinion, “That’s right. If that supervisor insisted on treating all customers equally, he would never have made such a mistake.”

Zhao Yuqing said, “The problem lies with the management of that store. I certainly won’t go to such a dealership to buy a car, and if someone I know plans to, I’ll advise them against it.”

Although the manager of the Porsche dealership had already revealed the true situation, the matter affected the impression of several people present. They wouldn’t go to that dealership to buy a car, and if someone mentioned buying a car, they would likely share this story. More people would eventually learn about it.

Lin Junyi said, “Xu Yang, Yuxin, next time you buy a car, you can look for me. I have a friend in the car business, and he offers discounts on all brands.”

Xu Yang said, “Sure, I’ll call you when the time comes.”

These days, Zhao Yuxin was driving to work, so it would be inconvenient for Xu Yang to go out. Money wasn’t an issue for him, so buying another car was no problem.

Lin Junyi said, “Alright, just give me a call when you need it.”

Lin Junyi was willing to help with such matters. It was beneficial for both sides: his friend in the car business would make money, and his friends would get a good deal.

Zhao Yuxin said, “You guys chat for a bit; I’ll go cook. It’ll be ready soon.” She stood up and went to the kitchen, with Zhao Yuqing following to help.

After more than half an hour, dinner was served. The group chatted happily and enjoyed their meal. Everyone had a good time.

Around nine o’clock, Zhao Jiang and Zhao Yuqing, along with Lin Junyi, left. They had all had some drinks, so they arranged for hired drivers to send them home.

As for Zhao Hai, he stayed overnight here. After all, it was his daughter’s home; staying the night was not a problem.
