After Pretending To Lose All My Money, I Learn Of Human's True Nature-Chapter 64 - Asking for Money

Outside the villa.

Bai Yuan clenched his hands. His heart was brimming with hatred.

‘I don’t believe that when I come back tomorrow, I won’t be able to pry money from them! Let’s see what that brat can do! He’s just putting on an act. That family is only filled with cowards!’

…

The next day.

Jiang Feng got up early. When he went downstairs, he saw his second uncle and Bai Yuan chatting with smiles on their faces.

Bai Yuan smiled warmly when he saw Jiang Feng. “Little Feng, you’re awake? Why don’t you sleep in during the holidays?”

Although Bai Yuan found Jiang Feng annoying, seeing that Jiang Feng controlled the family’s finances, he still had to be pleasant to Jiang Feng.

“I don’t want to sleep in,” Jiang Feng said, clearly displeased. He did not want to talk to Bai Yuan at all. After getting himself a glass of water, he planned to return to his room to rest.

At this time, Yu Xiumei saw Jiang Feng. She said, “Little Feng, your Uncle Bai Yuan is here. You just came down. Why are you going upstairs again?”

Seeing this, Bai Yuan wore a very understanding expression as he said, “Sister-in-law, Little Feng probably has a lot of things to do. Let him be. We can chat among ourselves.”

Jiang Jianzhong shook his head and said seriously, “Little Feng, come and have a seat. Your relative is here. How can you not greet him?”

Jiang Feng said lazily with a hint of ridicule, “Uncle Bai Yuan.”

Bai Yuan felt slightly uncomfortable hearing this.

On the contrary, Jiang Feng looked very relaxed.

Bai Yuan suppressed his anger and smiled. “Time really flies. In just a blink of an eye, we’re all old, and the children have all grown up.”

Jiang Feng’s second uncle raised his hand and made a gesture as he said, “That’s right. The first time I saw Little Feng, he was only this big…”

“You’re right. I still remember that when I gave candy to Little Feng, he would give it to his sister. He has always been very sensible,” Bai Yuan chimed as many thoughts flashed in his mind.

Thinking of the past, Yu Xiumei sighed emotionally. She said with a smile, “In the past, Little Feng would give Little Yu all the good things he had. We were all very happy.”

The past was bitter, but Jiang Jianzhong and Yu Xiumei had a pair of obedient and sensible children. Now that the days were better, their children, who had grown up, were also filial.

“All these years, I was always and missed out on watching the children grow up. However, Little Feng did not forget me and even prepared many things for me,” Jiang Feng’s second uncle said with an honest smile on his face. He was very happy when he recalled the things that Jiang Feng said to him yesterday. In fact, he did not want anything in return. He was just very happy that Jiang Feng still remembered him.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Bai Yuan began to put his plan into action. He asked, “I heard Little Feng didn’t lose money. Then, did he make money? It’s risky to invest in Bitcoin. Moreover, he must have invested all ten million, right? Otherwise, how could he have bought such a large house?”

Jiang Feng drank his water. He had already seen through Bai Yuan’s thoughts. He asked bluntly, “Uncle Bai Yuan, what are you trying to say?”

Bai Yuan did not expect Jiang Feng to say such words. He was slightly stunned. Although Jiang Feng was young, he was quite shrewd. If it were not for Jiang Feng’s Moments on WeChat, he would have nearly let a big fish go. He did not expect that the simple-minded Jiang family would even learn how to conceal their wealth.

Yu Xiumei did not hear the hidden meaning behind Bai Yuan’s words. She said with a hint of reproach, “Child, your Uncle Bai Yuan is just concerned. What are you saying to him?” Then, she looked at Bai Yuan and said, “Don’t mind him. He didn’t do it on purpose.”

Bai Yuan waved his hand. “It’s nothing. If you don’t want to say it, then don’t say it. I’m just afraid that if you spend so much money on the house, you’ll have no money to spare…”

Jiang Feng was amused when he listened to Bai Yuan’s words of ‘concern’. He thought that Bai Yuan was deserving of an Oscar for his acting. It was not enough to visit yesterday, and Bai Yuan visited again today. It seemed like Bai Yuan would not stop until he obtained some money. He could not help but wonder how Bai Yuan was going to try to obtain money from him since Bai Yuan could not use the excuse of borrowing money.

“Don’t worry. Little Feng is really capable. Moreover, this house didn’t cost much. Ten million is enough for us to live the rest of our lives without worries,” Jiang Jianzhong said with a chuckle, unwilling to reveal their wealth.

Jiang Jianzhong was not that foolish. If he revealed their wealth, his relatives would not leave them alone. There would definitely be many among them who would try to morally kidnap them. The middle-aged woman from yesterday was such an example. She wanted to borrow five million, but she likely had no intention of returning it at all. There were really too many people who asked for too much. He had to be smart since he did not want to drag his son down.

Bai Yuan raised an eyebrow, puzzled. Jiang Jianzhong was usually honest and simple, but it seemed like Jiang Jianzhong had learned how to be smart as well. However, it did not matter. He had many ways to pry money from this family.

Bai Yuan looked at Jiang Jianzhong and Yu Xiumei, pretending to be worried as he said, “That’s good. It’s good that both of you are in good health. After all, it costs an arm and a leg nowadays to get treated at the hospital. Both of you have to look after your health.”

Jiang Jianzhong was stunned before he nodded. Thinking that Bai Yuan’s words made sense, he looked at Yu Xiumei and said, “Bai Yuan is right. I’ll have to look for a job soon.”

Bai Yuan pretended to be surprised. “Why are you looking for a job? Old Jiang, Sister-in-law, you’re getting old. Little Feng is grown up now. Leave the job of earning money to him. You should take care of your health instead.”

Jiang Feng smiled and said, “That’s right, Mom and Dad. Just relax. Don’t worry about money.”

Seeing the opportunity, Bai Yuan sighed and said, “It’s really not easy to make money. Many people work very hard, but they have a low salary. I think Little Feng won’t be able to make another ten million even if given a few dozen years. Lightning never strikes twice in the same place, after all. It’s difficult for Little Feng to get so lucky again.” After a pause, he added, “In fact, I have a perfect idea. A friend of mine is starting a business recently. In the future, it’ll earn at least tens of thousands of dollars. The more money we invest, the bigger our profits will be.”

Jiang Feng was amused. Bai Yuan had said so much, and Bai Yuan was finally coming to the main point. It was obvious Bai Yuan wanted to trick his parents into investing the money. After that, Bai Yuan would definitely run away with the money. 𝗳𝒓𝚎e𝚠𝒆𝐛𝐧𝐨v𝚎Ɩ.co𝓶

Jiang Feng’s second uncle said skeptically, “Is it reliable? Bai Yuan, there aren’t so many good things in the world. Don’t be deceived.”

Bai Yuan quickly shook his head. “No, I just made a lot of money myself. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said anything now. If it weren’t for our good relationship, I wouldn’t have said anything. This is a golden opportunity.”

Jiang Jianzheng looked uncertain as he looked at Jiang Feng. “This… This is up to Little Feng. My wife and I are old so we no longer care about matters of making money.”

Bai Yuan patted his chest confidently as he said, “Little Feng, you don’t want to be in a situation where you don’t have enough money, right? Trust Uncle Bai Yuan! I’ll definitely help you make a lot of money!”

Jiang Feng tilted his head and said lazily, “Don’t worry. My family won’t be in that kind of situation.”
