Chapter 227: It’s Tonight!

After leaving Shen Fei’s house, Han Lixin and Ren Xiaomin walked through the park near their home.

After having dinner at Shen Fei’s house and discussing the “Life Skewer” project, they were taken on a tour of the villa by Shen Jiayue. Once the tour was finished, they listened to the young girl play “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” on the violin, and only then did they leave Yunhe Villa.

Even now, both of them felt like they were in a dream, unable to believe what had happened that day.

“Lixin, your brother-in-law… no, I heard from your sister that you and your brother-in-law used to have a very bad relationship…” Ren Xiaomin said, somewhat at a loss, filled with curiosity and questions about Shen Fei’s family.

“Yes, at least until the day of your engagement,” Han Lixin nodded, then sighed with a bitter smile. “But you know, a few months ago, Shen Fei was an alcoholic and gambler, always borrowing money from everyone, someone everyone despised!”

“Really?” Ren Xiaomin was stunned.

The Shen Fei Han Lixin described, the one who was addicted to alcohol and gambling and borrowed money from others, was completely different from the Shen Fei she had met twice. The current Shen Fei owned a mansion worth twenty million, drove luxury cars, and was the CEO of a company producing scar-removal products!

Not only that, but he was about to invest five hundred million in a barbecue project!

Such a huge transformation seemed almost impossible—no lottery win could change someone this much, this quickly!

“I know it’s hard to believe… I feel the same way,” Han Lixin shook his head in bitterness, then gently took Ren Xiaomin’s hand and softly said, “I never told you about my sister and Shen Fei’s past, but today, I’ll explain everything to you!”

After saying that, Han Lixin took a deep breath several times, then told Ren Xiaomin everything he knew about Shen Fei: how he grew up in an orphanage, attended a prestigious high school and university, and even failed in his first business venture.

This was something he’d never told anyone before—not even his ex-girlfriend, Li Li.

By the time Han Lixin finished, Ren Xiaomin was even more astonished.

In just a few months, someone could change so completely?

She couldn’t imagine how the once destitute and decadent Shen Fei looked back then. Moreover, during dinner, seeing the tacit interaction between Shen Fei and Han Xinyan was like something out of a dream—a perfect atmosphere every girl in love would long for.

“In just a few months, such a huge change! It’s like he’s a completely different person!” Ren Xiaomin sighed.

“Yes, let’s just leave the past behind. As long as my sister is happy with Shen Fei, I’m content. As for anything else, I don’t care! As for where Shen Fei got the money… it must be legitimate, or my sister wouldn’t have agreed,” Han Lixin said aloud.

With that, the two exchanged a knowing smile, silently agreeing to skip that topic.

“By the way, Lixin, are you really going to join the Life Skewer barbecue project?” Ren Xiaomin suddenly asked.

“Yes! Since they’ve given me this opportunity, I have to seize it! Besides, I need to start thinking about our future. I can’t just keep earning a fixed salary forever, right? No matter how difficult it gets, I’ll stick with it. If I fail, it means I just wasn’t capable enough!” Han Lixin said.

“If your brother-in-law says you can do it, then I believe in you!” Ren Xiaomin said seriously.

Seeing her confidence, Han Lixin felt a surge of hope for the future.

The two leaned against each other, with the streetlights casting long shadows on their figures.

The happy couple was unaware that their destinies had already quietly begun to change.

Yunhe Villa.

After Han Lixin left, the family of three spent some time together in a warm, cozy atmosphere.

Looking at the time, the U.S. stock market was about to open.

Shen Fei informed Han Xinyan and then went to his study.

Since he invested in the U.S. stock market a few days ago, Shen Fei hadn’t checked it again. He knew that tonight, the stock price of Tesla was going to surge again, so he hadn’t bothered with the market movements.

But tonight, although the stock price would rise again, it would then fall sharply after reaching a certain point.

Shen Fei didn’t know when the drop would happen.

As the U.S. stock market opened, Shen Fei watched Tesla’s stock price climb on the screen, then immediately called Jiang Tiancheng.

“Brother Fei, what’s up? Are you about to sell?”

When Jiang Tiancheng received Shen Fei’s call, he immediately tensed up.

“Do you want to sell now?” Shen Fei asked, without directly answering.

“No, no, no! We’re just following your lead. If you want us to keep waiting, we won’t question it!” Jiang Tiancheng quickly backtracked.

“You’re a smooth talker! Alright, are you with Yuan Tai?” Shen Fei asked with a chuckle.

“Yes! What do you need?” Jiang Tiancheng replied.

“Just wait! You can act tonight! When you get my call, sell immediately, understood?” Shen Fei instructed.

“Tonight? Got it! We’ll wait for Brother Fei’s call!” Jiang Tiancheng was extremely excited.

Shen Fei shook his head helplessly and hung up.

He didn’t know why Jiang Tiancheng was so excited. If it hadn’t been for that annoying late-night call, Jiang Tiancheng, with his practical attitude, would have already sold all his stocks without consulting anyone.

But because of Shen Fei’s instructions to wait for his call, Jiang Tiancheng had held off.

“Yuan Tai, it’s tonight!” After hanging up, Jiang Tiancheng swallowed nervously.

The three hundred million yuan they had invested was now worth four hundred and fifty million.

Hearing what Brother Fei said, there would likely be another surge tonight!

That meant he would make a huge profit!

“Yeah, this kind of opportunity is rare! After consecutive surges, we have to be cautious!” Yuan Tai paused, then sneered, “Brother Fei really is a genius! He didn’t care before because he was confident. This surge tonight will definitely bring in substantial profits! That shorting of Kong Group now seems like nothing compared to this!”

“Speaking of which, you were skeptical about Brother Fei when we shorted Kong Group, weren’t you?” Jiang Tiancheng teased.

Yuan Tai froze for a moment, then laughed awkwardly.

Jiang Tiancheng didn’t continue joking, but both of them now kept their eyes glued to Tesla’s stock price, eagerly waiting for the next market move.
