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

Chapter 669: Chapter 669: Approaching
 

Cao Xiaobo said, “To say I’m not tempted would be a lie, after all, we’re talking about over a billion here. I couldn’t earn that much in several lifetimes, but I’m even more aware of the risks involved. A single misstep could lead to irreversible disaster, and living abroad isn’t what I want either. It’s fine to travel occasionally, but to leave for good and stay overseas without ever coming back? No way. In a foreign country, where I know no one, if something happens I’d have nowhere to turn; heaven and earth couldn’t help me. But at home, if anything happens, I always have relatives and friends to help out. So, the idea of moving abroad and never coming back just isn’t going to happen for me.”

Xu Yang smiled and said, “You see things quite clearly.”

Cao Xiaobo gave a bitter smile and said, “It’s not that I see things clearly, I just don’t think that’s the life I want. Many people do want that kind of life.”

Xu Yang said, “I used to think you were a good-for-nothing trash with no education, not only incompetent but also arrogant and overbearing. Now it seems you’re not entirely worthless, at least you didn’t agree to do this with Shao Dazhi and the others. You have your own thoughts and won’t be swayed by others, not easily wrapped up in their schemes.”

Cao Xiaobo said with self-mockery, “Perhaps I just don’t have the guts.”

Xu Yang chuckled. “Either way, I thank you. This information is indeed worth two million. Give me your card number, I’ll transfer it to you.”

Cao Xiaobo expressed his surprise. “I thought you would only give me part now and the rest after confirming the information.”

Xu Yang said, “That’s not necessary. I trust you wouldn’t dare deceive me. If you did dare, I have the means to recover that two million.”

He was a billionaire now; dealing with Cao Xiaobo would be all too easy.

Cao Xiaobo nodded. “That’s true. Cheating you would be like seeking death.”

He took out his mobile phone, logged into the mobile banking app, and gave Xu Yang his card number.

Xu Yang also logged into the mobile banking app and transferred two million to Cao Xiaobo.

Seeing the two million in his bank account, Cao Xiaobo’s mouth stretched into a grin.

Speaking of which, he had Shao Dazhi to thank.

Without Shao Dazhi, he wouldn’t have made these two million.

This uncle was really good to him.

Creating such an opportunity for him to make two million.

As for betraying his uncle, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of guilt.

In his view, Shao Dazhi’s plan to kidnap was idiotic, with very slim chances of success.

Using this information to earn two million was what a truly smart person would do.

Suddenly, Xu Yang asked, “Now that you have these two million, what are you planning to do with it?”

Cao Xiaobo said, “I’ve got it all planned out. I’ll save one and a half million in the bank and live off the interest each year, which would already be better than most people. With the remaining half a million, I’ll take out a hundred thousand to spend and invest the other four hundred thousand in stocks or futures or something. If I hit a bull market, I could make a fortune.”

Hearing this, Xu Yang looked at him with newfound respect.

This guy had previously left a very bad impression on him.

Yet he came to him with this information, asking for two million.

And now with this plan for the two million, he was better than many so-called financial experts.

This was not something an ordinary person could do.

It seemed he shouldn’t judge a book by its cover or see only one side of a person.

With such thinking, this guy’s future was definitely not going to be too shabby; he’d live better than many regular salaried workers.

Thinking this, Xu Yang said, “I didn’t expect you to have such a plan. You’re quite good in this respect.”

Cao Xiaobo smiled and said, “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Xu.”

Xu Yang and Cao Xiaobo exchanged phone numbers and then Xu Yang said, “If anything changes, you must inform me right away. I don’t want my wife to be harmed in any way.”

“Understood,” Cao Xiaobo said. “Don’t worry, if anything changes, I’ll notify you immediately.”

Xu Yang nodded. “Alright, you can leave now.”

“Goodbye, Mr. Xu,” Cao Xiaobo said, standing up and leaving.

Checking the time, it was almost the end of the workday.

Xu Yang took out his cell phone and dialed Zhao Yuxin’s number.

Soon, the call was connected.

Zhao Yuxin’s voice came over the phone. “Husband, why are you calling me at this time? I’m busy right now. I’ll call you back when I’m done.”

After saying that, Zhao Yuxin hung up directly.

Xu Yang couldn’t even say a word and couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.

He could only wait for Zhao Yuxin to return his call.

However, as it neared the end of the workday, Zhao Yuxin still hadn’t returned his call.

Xu Yang tried calling Zhao Yuxin again, but this time nobody answered.

Xu Yang couldn’t help furrowing his brow, “Nothing bad must have happened.”

Xu Yang immediately left the company and drove to the entrance of the bank where Zhao Yuxin worked.

He parked the car a short distance away from the bank entrance.

He didn’t want to alarm the person who was trying to get close to Zhao Yuxin.

Nevertheless, from this spot, he could see the comings and goings at the bank’s entrance.

The bank’s closing time arrived, but Zhao Yuxin still hadn’t come out.@@novelbin@@

After more than half an hour, he finally saw Zhao Yuxin walking out of the bank.

Zhao Yuxin took out her phone and dialed Xu Yang’s number.

Just then, a middle-aged beautiful woman hurried past her, knocking the phone from her hand.

The phone fell to the ground with a crack, and was smashed to pieces.

“Ah! I’m so sorry, so sorry!”

The middle-aged beauty repeatedly apologized, picked up the shattered phone, and seeing that it was destroyed, “Miss, I’m really sorry, I wasn’t paying attention. I’m willing to compensate you; your phone is the latest model from Huawei, right? I’ll pay you for it.”

Zhao Yuxin was initially furious since she had only managed to get her hands on the phone a few days ago.

This model was so exclusive that even money couldn’t buy it.

She had managed to snag it only after pulling some strings.

And now it had been broken after just a few days of use.

But seeing how apologetic the middle-aged woman was, she no longer felt like lashing out.

“Alright…” Zhao Yuxin gave a bitter smile and named her price.

“Miss, I know that at this stage this phone model is impossible to buy with money. I’ll give you triple the price to express my apologies.” Chen Yaqian immediately scanned a code and transferred three times the money to Zhao Yuxin.

“You don’t need to give that much, just the original price is fine.” Zhao Yuxin was embarrassed to take so much money from the middle-aged woman as she wasn’t short of cash.

“Miss, please keep it. If you transfer it back, I won’t accept it. If you feel bad, let’s become friends. What do you say?” Chen Yaqian offered.

“Sure,” Zhao Yuxin had a very good impression of the middle-aged woman standing before her.

Just the attitude she displayed in handling the situation was beyond reproach.

With someone else, they might have haggled over the compensation, but she had immediately offered to pay triple.

Making a friend like this wouldn’t be so bad.

“My name is Chen Yaqian, I’m almost forty. I think you must be in your early twenties, so if you don’t mind, you can call me ‘Qian Jie,'” Chen Yaqian introduced herself.

“Of course I don’t mind. Qian Jie, my name is Zhao Yuxin, you can just call me Yu Xin,” Zhao Yuxin said.

“Yu Xin, that’s a beautiful name. Your parents must be well-educated to come up with such a nice name,” Chen Yaqian aimed to bridge the gap between them.

As they chatted, they quickly became friendly.

Chen Yaqian said, “Yu Xin, I really feel a connection with you. I have some matters to attend to now, otherwise, I would definitely invite you to dinner tonight. How about we have lunch together tomorrow?”

Zhao Yuxin didn’t decline, “That works. I work at this bank and can’t go too far from here. Recently I’ve been quite busy, and if it’s too far, it would be a bit problematic if I return late.”

“No problem, I’ll make the arrangements and ensure it won’t interfere with your work,” Chen Yaqian reassured.

After talking a bit more, Chen Yaqian hurried off, turning into a side street and disappearing.

Zhao Yuxin looked at her broken phone and couldn’t help but give a bitter smile, got into her car, and drove home.
