(For the sake of clarity and smoother reading, let's refer to Zhou Rongguang as Father Zhou from now on, let's dive in-----------)
Sssss!!!!
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou gasped in shock.
The in-laws were easy to talk to.
The son-in-law was even easier to talk to.
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou vaguely remembered the last time.
When they attended a gathering.
Some well-meaning friends advised them.
Don't aim too high.
The gap between the two families is too big.
Problems will arise later.
For example, domestic violence.
Or the in-laws giving you a hard time.
At first, they thought it made perfect sense.
If you marry into a wealthy family.
Even if your partner doesn't say anything.
Can you guarantee their whole family won't say anything?
They might think you're there to steal their family fortune!
They would unite against you.
Definitely wouldn't give you any good treatment.
Always on guard.
So.
If you must choose.
Find someone in their seventies or eighties, lonely and without children.
If you're lucky, endure for a few years.
A few months.
At most, endure for three years!
If slower, three years after three years.
Eventually, you'll make it through.
Now, at first glance!
What good advice!
Damn it!
Turns out, they were all just jealous.
A bunch of sour grapes.
Families with unmarried daughters.
They would do anything to send them over to the Xu family.
Even if they didn't have one, if conditions allowed.
These people, without exaggeration.
Would fabricate one out of thin air.
Adopt one from outside.
And then send them to the Xu family.
HETUI--------------
"Daughter, Xu Mo is right, don't put too much pressure on yourself! Father Zhou and I are here for you."
Mother Zhou comforted her.
Zhou Qiaoqiao was both amused and exasperated.
What is this all about?
Everyone thinks I actually lost money?
At this point.
Zhou Qiaoqiao felt there was no need to hide it anymore.
Everyone here tonight was family.
She decided to come clean.
"Mom, Dad, don't start eating yet, keep a calm mindset."
"I've made a small fortune these past few days, don't get too excited when you hear it."
Both sets of parents were completely baffled.
What the hell?
And they shouldn't get too excited?
What kind of big waves haven't they seen before?
Not giving them a chance to eat while chatting.
Are they worried they might choke?
Is it really that exaggerated?!!
Do you really need to be so dramatic?!! (Whoosh!!!)
Despite their confusion, they all chose to follow Zhou Qiaoqiao's instructions.
Because they knew Zhou Qiaoqiao wasn't the type to play around.
Xu Shi's face turned pale.
Her "big white rabbit" was trembling nervously.
Thump thump--------------
Her little heart was about to take off.
'It's over, it's over, heaven is going to destroy me, Xu Shi!!!'
'Wu wu---------Xu Mo, wait for me, I'll find a way to get you out, don't worry, it won't take long.'
Xu Mo had a bad feeling.
For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent.
Except for the sound of An Youyi chewing food.
The private room was completely quiet.
Zhou Qiaoqiao took a deep breath, then smiled, speaking in a very relaxed tone.
"Mom, Dad, actually, I took all that money and invested it in bonds, yes, crude oil bonds. I did buy some futures, but only a small portion as a decoy."
"Yes, most of the money was invested in bonds~"
"And I bought them at the lowest price."
The atmosphere instantly turned eerily quiet.
Well, except for the carefree "Dragon Queen" who was still eating.
The rest were just the sounds of pounding hearts.
Thud-------------------
Father Zhou, Mother Zhou, Xu Fuqiang, and Su Ting hadn't yet processed what was happening.
Xu Mo's bowl and chopsticks fell to the floor.
Shattering into pieces.
Let's toast, let's toast.
Toast my ass!!!
[Holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap holy crap---------]
[Damn! I'm just gonna say it straight—Zhou Qiaoqiao, how did you know the bonds would make money?!!! Did you cheat or something?!!!]
[I freaking—cough cough, I shouldn't say that, shouldn't say that]
[Hahahaha goose------Only now do I realize, damn, I'm the biggest joke here]
[The clown is actually me!!!!]
Xu Mo was broken.
In every sense of the word.
This whole time, Zhou Qiaoqiao had been wiping the floor with him.
Catching him completely off guard.
Leaving him with no way to counter or defend.
Making him wish he could restart the whole plot.
And nip this terrifying thing in the bud.
But now, it was too late------------
Thud------
Xu Fuqiang slammed the table hard, his voice trembling, "Kid! Is this bowl too heavy for you?"
Xu Mo could tell.
The old man was even more panicked than he was!
That trembling voice, those shaky hands with nowhere to rest.
Just freaking ridiculous!!!!!
Given the plummeting crude oil situation.
Are we talking trillionaire status now?
It wasn't just Xu Fuqiang.
Su Ting also couldn't hold it together anymore.
This seasoned business queen.
Her expression shifted from shock to a self-mocking smile.
At this moment.
She realized she was getting old.
The battlefield from now on belonged to the younger generation.
She and Xu Fuqiang should just stay home and take care of their grandchildren.
Like taking the kids out to play, or traveling around the Dragon Country.
Oh, they’re still infants when they’re just born.
Wait until they’re one or two years old.
Then Grandma and Grandpa can take them on trips across the entire Dragon Country.
Double kill!!!!
Xu Shi was heartbroken, her little heart was ice-cold.
This time, it was really over.
No chance of a comeback.
Zhou Qiaoqiao had made a name for herself in one fell swoop.
Effortlessly securing a double victory.
The only one still intact in the room was the "Dragon Queen."
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou's lips were trembling.
Their daughter's godly move was simply mind-blowing.
It wasn't clear how much money the Xu family had given Zhou Qiaoqiao.
But the Zhou family had over a hundred billion in liquid assets!
All invested in crude oil bonds.
The Zhou family heir position was secured!!!
It's over, it's over, now it's time for the various female leads to show off their skills.
If they can't win openly, they'll resort to underhanded tactics. Once again, wishing everyone a happy holiday~
u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
