Chapter 23: Borrowing Money

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Yang had bought groceries and returned home not long before Zhao Yuxin arrived.

“Honey, how was your day at Antique Street? Did you find anything?” Zhao Yuxin asked as she walked in, put down her bag, and then nestled into Xu Yang’s arms.

Finding hidden treasures wasn’t that easy, and Zhao Yuxin didn’t really believe Xu Yang had that kind of luck. She was just making casual conversation. However, Xu Yang’s response surprised her greatly.

“Yes, I found a big one today,” Xu Yang said with a smile, hugging Zhao Yuxin.

“Really? Tell me about it!” Zhao Yuxin’s eyes lit up as she left Xu Yang’s embrace, took his hand and sat down together on the couch.

“Today, I saw a painting and bought it for fifty thousand yuan,” Xu Yang explained the situation of his discovery, Wu Daozi’s Hundred of Beasts painting.

“You mean you sold the painting for fifty million?” Zhao Yuxin asked as her eyes widened.

“Yes, I’m now a multimillionaire,” Xu Yang said with a hint of pride.

“Honey, you’re amazing!” Zhao Yuxin exclaimed and threw herself back into Xu Yang’s arms, hugging him tightly.

Zhao Yuxin didn’t doubt Xu Yang’s words at all. Anything Xu Yang said, she believed. If he said he had made fifty million, then it must be true. Xu Yang wouldn’t lie to her.

“That’s right, I’m your amazing husband after all.” Xu Yang teased.

“Uh-huh.” Zhao Yuxin nodded repeatedly, her eyes forming crescent moons as she smiled.

They chatted for a while, and then Zhao Yuxin went to prepare dinner. An hour later, they sat down to eat.

“When I bought that painting, your sister was also there, with Chen Guanglei. That guy we saw when it was the first time we went shopping together, and they were in the same antique shop, the one owned by Chen Guanglei’s uncle,” Xu Yang said.

Zhao Yuxin raised an eyebrow and asked, “So, does Yulu know that you made fifty million?”

Xu Yang nodded, “Yup.”

Zhao Yuxin continued, “She might ask you for a loan then. Last time, she kept calling us, but you had invested in gold futures, so she didn’t borrow any money. Now that she knows you’ve made so much, she might call again. If she does, will you lend her some money?”

“My money is your money. I’ll follow your decision. If you say lend, I’ll lend. If you say don’t lend, I won’t,” Xu Yang replied.

Xu Yang and Zhao Yulu were no longer together, and Zhao Yuxin was the one he needed to cherish. Since Zhao Yulu and Zhao Yuxin were sisters and their relationship was somewhat complicated, they couldn’t completely sever ties. Thus, Xu Yang left it to Zhao Yuxin to manage their relationship.

Zhao Yuxin smiled and said, “Honey, you’re the best.”

“Well, that’s because I’m your husband.” Xu Yang teased.

Then Zhao Yuxin thought for a moment and said, “If she does call and ask for money, let’s lend her a bit. We can’t lend her too much. Let’s say two million. How does that sound?”

Although Zhao Yuxin didn’t like Zhao Yulu’s materialistic mindset, and Zhao Yuxin’s relationship with Zhao Yulu was not that great, Zhao Yulu was still Zhao Yuxin’s sister. If Zhao Yulu really called and asked for money, Zhao Yuxin would lend it to her.

Moreover, Zhao Yuxin was grateful that Zhao Yulu had left Xu Yang. If Zhao Yulu hadn’t left him, Zhao Yuxin wouldn’t have had the chance to be with Xu Yang.

Xu Yang smiled, “It’s your call.”

“Alright, it’s settled then. We’ll lend her two million.” Zhao Yuxin nodded.

“By the way, with this fifty million, I plan to buy a car and a house. Buying a house will take some time, so I’ll do some research online first. Tomorrow, let’s go buy a car. We can look for a house next weekend. What do you think?” Xu Yang suggested.

Zhao Yuxin nodded in agreement and said, “Honey, that sounds like a great plan. I’ll follow your lead.”

Just as Zhao Yuxin finished speaking, her phone, which was on the side, started ringing. She picked it up and saw that it was Zhao Yulu calling. Zhao Yuxin couldn’t help but mutter, “It’s my sister. I hope she’s not calling to borrow money. Not from you, but from me?”

Xu Yang said, “Just answer it, and you’ll find out.”

Zhao Yuxin nodded and answered the call. She greeted, “Hello, sis.”

Zhao Yulu’s voice came through, “Yuxin, have you eaten?”

“We’re in the middle of dinner,” Zhao Yuxin replied.

Zhao Yuxin continued, “Today, Xu Yang went to Antique Street and made a big find, earning fifty million. Did he tell you?”

“Yes, my husband is amazing. He’s become a millionaire in an instant.” Zhao Yuxin nodded and said with pride.

Inside, Zhao Yulu felt a bit uncomfortable, but she quickly adjusted and continued, “Yuxin, here’s the thing. As I mentioned before, my friend has a project and invited me to invest, but I don’t have enough money. Last time, I asked you for a loan, but you said Xu Yang had invested in gold futures. Now that Xu Yang has fifty million, can you lend me some money?”

As Zhao Yuxin expected, Zhao Yulu was calling to borrow money.

“Why didn’t you call Xu Yang directly?” Zhao Yuxin asked.

“I’ve already broken up with him, and since he’s with you, I don’t want any contact with him. You’re together now, so his money is your money. Borrowing from you is the same as borrowing from him,” Zhao Yulu explained.

Zhao Yulu’s response satisfied Zhao Yuxin.

“How much do you want to borrow?” Zhao Yuxin inquired.

“Of course, the more, the better,” Zhao Yulu replied.

Zhao Yuxin rolled her eyes and said, “Sis, Xu Yang and I are planning to buy a car and a better house. We can’t lend you too much money. We can only lend you two million. If you think that’s too little and don’t want it, then forget it.”

At first, Zhao Yulu thought Zhao Yuxin would loan her eight million yuan. Zhao Yulu didn’t expect the amount she would get was only two million. She had borrowed from all her friends and couldn’t get two million from anyone. However, Xu Yang had earned fifty million yuan. It made Zhao Yulu feel that Zhao Yuxin had only lent her two million yuan and it was too little.

Zhao Yuxin said, “We are going to buy a better house and we need to keep some money with us. Xu Yang also needs to invest to make money. He can’t lend you too much. We can only lend you two million yuan. If you think it’s too little and don’t want it, then forget it.”

Zhao Yulu couldn’t say no to that offer. She couldn’t even borrow two million yuan from anywhere.

“Well, two million it is then. To thank you for lending me two million, let me give you some inside information. The investment project I’m planning is buying stocks, specifically Obsidian Tech. It’s guaranteed to skyrocket. You guys should buy some and just wait to make money. At least double or triple your investment. But don’t tell anyone else, this is just between us. If too many people know, the insider information won’t be as effective,” Zhao Yuxin said.

“We’ll consider it,” Zhao Yuxin replied.

Zhao Yulu added, “I’ll give you my bank account number, and you can transfer the two million to me.”

“After dinner, I’ll have Xu Yang transfer it to you.” Zhao Yuxin nodded and ended the call.

Zhao Yuxin explained the call to Xu Yang. He furrowed his brow and asked, “Obsidian Tech will skyrocket?”

Zhao Yuxin replied, “That’s what my sister said. I’m not sure if it’s true.”
