Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 54: Chapter 54 Yi Ge Becomes Popular
Zhao Yulu returned home, took a shower, and went back to her room to dial Zhao Yuxin’s phone number.

Soon, the call connected.

Zhao Yulu said, “Yu Xin, the two million I borrowed from you, along with the promised five hundred thousand in interest, might not be able to be repaid to you in the short term.”

Zhao Yuxin asked, “What happened?”

She hadn’t watched the financial news today and didn’t know the situation with Blackstone Technology.

“The Blackstone Technology stocks I bought…”

Zhao Yulu explained the situation briefly.

Zhao Yuxin frowned and said, “Xu Yang had already said that Blackstone Technology was very likely to plummet, but you wouldn’t listen, insisting that I didn’t want to lend you the money. Now look at what happened, under these circumstances, the money has definitely gone down the drain.”

Zhao Yulu knew Zhao Yuxin would say this. Although she felt very upset being told so, she could only say, “I was wrong this time.”

Zhao Yuxin said, “When will you be able to repay the money then? I don’t want the five hundred thousand in interest anymore, but you still need to pay back the principal.”

Even between sisters who are close, accounts must be clear. She wouldn’t say it wasn’t necessary to repay it.

Moreover, this money was earned by Xu Yang.

Xu Yang was indeed making money now, his net worth having already exceeded a hundred million.

But two million was still money that should not just be squandered by Zhao Yulu.

Zhao Yulu said bitterly, “Maybe in a year or two.”

She couldn’t give a precise time because she didn’t know how she would be able to earn two million.

“Alright, just remember that you owe it, and remember, investing isn’t that easy, especially when it comes to so-called insider information. Don’t listen to that kind of talk in the future,” Zhao Yuxin said.

“Even if I wanted to listen, I don’t have any money to invest now,” Zhao Yulu said bitterly.

“Think about your situation. I advise you to be more down-to-earth. Anyway, I know you won’t listen to me, so let’s leave it at that and hang up now.”

Zhao Yuxin hung up the phone and told Xu Yang about the situation.

Xu Yang didn’t say anything.

Since he’d already advised her and Zhao Yulu still decided to invest, she could only blame herself.

As for the two million, Xu Yang didn’t care; however Zhao Yuxin decided would be fine, after all, he wasn’t short of money now.

…

The next day.

Xu Yang got up and had breakfast with Zhao Yuxin, which she had prepared.

Even though Xu Yang didn’t have to go to work, he got up as usual with Zhao Yuxin and didn’t sleep in.

As they were having breakfast, Xu Yang’s phone, which was lying aside, started to ring.

“Who could be calling so early?” Zhao Yuxin was somewhat puzzled, as this had never happened before.

Xu Yang picked up the phone and said, “It’s Junyi calling.”

Zhao Yuxin was even more puzzled, “Why would Junyi call so early?”

Xu Yang said with a smile, shaking his head, “I don’t know, I’ll find out when I answer.”

In fact, he had a guess.

If things were as he expected, it would probably be because the short video Lin Junyi shot had gone viral.

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Yang pressed the answer button, before he could even speak, he heard Lin Junyi’s excited voice.

“Xu Yang, the short video I posted yesterday went viral!”

He had posted a short video yesterday, but because there were some issues at his company, he was busy until late last night, went home, washed up, and slept without paying any attention to the status of the video.

This morning as he woke up and remembered the short video he had taken yesterday, he opened it up to take a look.

To his surprise, upon checking, he was startled to find that the short video he had shot yesterday had garnered ten million views, over a million likes, more than a hundred thousand shares, and over a hundred thousand comments.

Lin Junyi was afraid he had seen it wrong. He rubbed his bleary eyes and realized he had not made a mistake.

The number of followers had even surpassed one million.

Before, his follower count was a little over six hundred thousand.

This meant that, overnight, his follower count had increased by more than three hundred thousand.

And that number was still climbing slowly.

A single video had changed everything.

It was easy to imagine, if he continued to make such videos, how fiery his popularity would become.

Becoming a superstar web celebrity with tens of millions of fans was completely within reach.

So there he was, in his excitement, calling Xu Yang at once.

Xu Yang activated the speakerphone, to let Zhao Yuxin listen in, before saying, “Junyi, congratulations on your successful transformation.”

Lin Junyi still excited, said, “Xu Yang, I can’t thank you enough. Without you, I could never have become popular!”

Xu Yang laughed and replied, “Junyi, there’s no need for such formalities. Since you signed with my guild, it’s my obligation to nurture you. Your success makes me happy, too.”

Lin Junyi said, “Even so, I still owe you my thanks. How about this, I’ll treat you and Yu Xin to dinner tonight.”

Xu Yang said, “Junyi, really, don’t be so formal. In a few days, it’s the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I plan to take Yu Xin back to my hometown to meet my parents. We’re going shopping these next few evenings to buy some things. Let’s talk about dinner after the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

This had been discussed the previous night.

During these evenings, the two of them would go shopping for some things to bring back to Xu Yang’s parents.

Why not go during the day?

Of course, because Zhao Yuxin had to work.

Xu Yang didn’t need to work, so couldn’t he just go shopping by himself?

Naturally, Zhao Yuxin wouldn’t allow that, saying that the gifts for Xu Yang’s parents should be chosen by both of them together.

Therefore, they could only wait until evening to go shopping together.

Lin Junyi expressed his understanding, “Alright then, I’ll treat you guys after the Mid-Autumn Festival.”

Xu Yang responded, “Sure.”

After hanging up the phone and putting it down,

Xu Yang said, “Junyi has become popular, and now the guild will have a superstar web celebrity.”

Zhao Yuxin also expressed her happiness, “I think becoming a superstar web celebrity has always been Junyi’s dream, and now it has finally come true.”

Xu Yang remarked, “Seeing how excited he is, if you didn’t know better, you’d think he’d made a fortune.”

…

In the blink of an eye, the day before Mid-Autumn Festival arrived.

They got up in the morning and had breakfast.

At nine in the morning, they set off for the hometown.

Xu Yang’s hometown was in a small county in Lake Province called Cang County.

From Jiang City to Cang County, it was a five or six-hour drive.

If they encountered traffic jams, it would be quite an achievement to arrive at home by dinner.

The car they were driving was a Rolls-Royce Cullinan.

This car attracted a lot of attention on the freeway.

After all, you don’t get to see such a car every day.

Other drivers maintained a noticeably larger distance from the Rolls-Royce Cullinan than they did from other cars.

There was no helping it; an accident could potentially bankrupt someone, or at the very least cause a lot of pain.

A possible accident could completely change a family’s life.

Fortunately, they didn’t encounter any problems on the road.

It was just that they got stuck in traffic several times.

The Mid-Autumn Festival meant three days off, and many people were returning home today.

Coupled with lunchtime and breaks along the way,

By the time they exited the highway in Cang County, it was already six o’clock in the evening.

If they hadn’t left at nine in the morning, they wouldn’t have arrived by this time; they probably would have just made it home in time for a late-night snack.

After getting off the highway, it took only about ten minutes to reach home.

Zhao Yuxin said, “Honey, I’m a bit nervous.”

Xu Yang smiled and replied, “No need to be nervous. My parents are very nice. I’m bringing them such a beautiful and sensible daughter-in-law; they’ll be thrilled.”
