Seeing his confidence, Tang Wenyi could not help but become excited. That’s right, what’s 10 million yuan? she thought. When his investment pays off, won’t it be a piece of cake for him to have as much as he wants?
Her rationality had gone out the window at this moment. She said, “In that case, I’ll throw all this money in. How about that?”
“Mom, you’re so smart!”
Lu Ze sighed. The two of them hit it off and they went ahead with it.
The next day.
Tang Wenyi sat on the bed and sighed lightly. Every time she thought about how she had excitedly invested the money meant for the betrothal gift, she felt a little regretful. How could she have done such an impulsive thing? If she suffered a loss, what would happen to her precious son?
He could not possibly be single forever, right?
If word got back to the capital, she would lose face.
What should I do? she thought.
Should I withdraw the money now? Perhaps I can reduce the losses.
She touched her forehead helplessly. Cryptocurrency is volatile, she thought. One can make money fast, but one can lose money just as fast. One can be making money a few days ago, but lose money after that. She did not have that much money to make up for losses.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you sighing so early in the morning?”
When Lu Yaohua opened his eyes, he was surprised by her strange behavior. He could not wrap his head around it and asked, “Did our son cause trouble outside again?”
Tang Wenyi did not expect her husband to wake up so early. Her heart skipped a beat as she forced a smile. “How could that be? Does Ah Ze go out now? Why would he cause trouble? You’re thinking too much. I just feel a little tired. I had a nightmare the whole night.”
Nightmare?
So it was a nightmare.
Lu Yaohua heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that his wife and son had gotten into trouble again!
He sat up and patted Tang Wenyi’s back to comfort her. “It’s alright, it’s alright. It’s just a dream. Reality is the opposite of dreams.”
Tang Wenyi’s heart warmed as she said hesitantly, “If, I mean, if there’s something that only you don’t know, will you be angry or sad?”
“I guess I’ll be sad, but not angry.”
Lu Yaohua still did not realize the seriousness of the matter. He thought that it was just a small matter and did not take it seriously, so he said casually.
“That’s good, that’s good.”
Tang Wenyi muttered. She had already taken precautions. Even if the truth was exposed, he would not blame them too much.
Unbeknownst to them, the two of them had not been on the same channel from the start.
As the matter of money speculation had yet to be resolved, Tang Wenyi was in no mood to go out to play mahjong. She kept drinking water in the hall, feeling anxious like a cat on a hot tin roof. Her mind constantly struggled with whether to stop the losses in time.
She could clearly tell that her son had gone overboard. Even if she suggested withdrawing the investment, Lu Ze would probably not do so. He might even blame her for changing her mind so quickly.
“Assistant Wei, you didn’t tell Yaohua about this, right?”
Assistant Wei, who was standing not far away, nodded and said, “No. When the boss mentioned it, I only said that Young Master Lu has been obsessed with his cell phone recently.”
Even such an answer did not reassure Tang Wenyi. She asked, “… Do you think there’s any way to distract Ah Ze from speculating in cryptocurrency?”
“Young Master Lu is currently in a good mood. It’s impossible to turn him around with just a few words.”
Assistant Wei answered calmly.
Speculating in crypto was like an abyss. Once one got involved, it was difficult to get out.
Tang Wenyi asked worriedly, “Why don’t you go say a few words?”
Say a few words?
Assistant Wei knew that Lu Ze would not even listen to his family, let alone an outsider like him. Not only would he not achieve his goal, he might even be beaten up for no reason. The only thing he would achieve is injury.
“Madam, forgive me for being powerless to help. What Young Master Lu does has nothing to do with me. The boss’s orders are to curb his movement and spending.”
Assistant Wei said expressionlessly.
In other words, it was not his responsibility.
He had been staring at Lu Ze for almost a week. Other than saying unpleasant things, Lu Ze would throw things at him when he was angry. Of course, he would not lose out. He handed the hospital’s test report to Lu Yaohua.
Lu Yaohua had no choice but to compensate him for the medical fees.
Just as Tang Wenyi was about to threaten and entice him, Lu Ze skipped in and said, “Mom, what are you doing?”
“Ah Ze, about yesterday’s money…”
Maybe I should take it back, she thought.
Before she could finish, Lu Ze said excitedly, “I came in to tell you about this. Our Dogecoin holdings have increased again! Let me show you!”
He flashed his phone screen to Tang Wenyi. She was stunned at first, but then she rubbed her eyes in disbelief. The original 10 million yuan had increased more than fivefold!
In just one night!
She said in surprise, “This, so much?!”
“That’s right! Didn’t I say that investing in this would definitely cost us nothing? At this rate, we’ll be able to get more than 100 million yuan tomorrow. At that time, we can open as many companies as we want. Even becoming an electric current in the business world won’t be a problem!”
Lu Ze paused for a moment before continuing, “How much is that bastard’s company worth? He might not even be as rich as me! As long as I wave my hand, I can get any pretty girl.”
He could never forget that day when Chu Jinyu threw money on the spot, saying that he would never be able to beat her!
No one would have thought that he could earn so much money.
He wanted to slap those who looked down on him and let them take a good look at him. He was the real pearl, while Lu Ming was just a stone that had been smeared with pearl powder!
Tang Wenyi’s worries were swept away as she said agitatedly, “As expected of my son! He can earn so much money just speculating in crypto. My son is indeed a genius! He has such good taste!”
Both of them were on cloud nine.
Seeing them dance with joy, Assistant Wei felt that he was too normal for them.
Forget it, forget it. Let’s pretend I didn’t see anything, he thought.
After they finally calmed down, Lu Ze said smugly, “Mom, what should we do with this money? Start a company or something?”
In fact, he was more inclined to set up a company. This way, he could meet Lu Ming in the business world and corner him!
After pondering for a moment, Tang Wenyi smiled maliciously and said, “I have an excellent idea. Doesn’t that bastard have Wanke Real Estate? He’s so smug because he has the backing of one of the world’s top 500 companies! Then let’s go all out and snatch it!”
“Snatch it?”
