The residential area where Gu Bai’s family lives is quite a famous upscale neighborhood in Shuzhou.
Back when Gu Jian Country bought the house, the average price was 5,000 per square ter, and now it has increased to 20,000 per square ter, a total increase of four tis. Even in his last life, when Gu Jian Country failed in the stock market, he never thought about selling the house, all for the sake of the family having a place to stay.
In the living room, Gu Bai and Xu Beibei were playing around on the sofa, while Gu Jian Country and Uncle Xu Chenggong sat on the small sofas on either side, watching them play around. As for Xu Hong and Aunt Helan, they were busy in the kitchen.
Although Gu Jian Country was steady, he had been holding in so questions for the entire way and wanted to ask them early on.
Xu Chenggong understood his brother-in-law’s expression and said to Xu Beibei, "Alright, Beibei, stop bothering your brother, your uncle has sothing to say to him."
Xu Chenggong is a high school teacher and was also Xu Beibei’s horoom teacher. She was sowhat intimidated by her horoom-teacher father and obediently sat to the side.
"Gu Bai, have a good chat with your dad."
Saying this, Xu Chenggong planned to leave with Xu Beibei temporarily.
Gu Bai saw Xu Chenggong’s movent and quickly said, "Uncle, just sit. We’re all family, there’s nothing that can’t be said openly."
Xu Chenggong’s family lives in the sa area as Gu Bai’s, and the two families have a close relationship, both of them caring deeply for Gu Bai. In Gu Bai’s eyes, uncle and aunt are family.
"Well..."
Xu Chenggong looked a bit hesitant.
Gu Jian Country noticed Xu Chenggong’s thoughts but, being not good with words, didn’t know how to address it, so he directly asked Gu Bai, "Gu Bai, tell , what exactly happened to you these past few months?"
Xu Chenggong understood his brother-in-law; knowing that Gu Jian Country asked Gu Bai in front of him ant he didn’t mind, so he sat back down.
Gu Bai’s mind quickly turned, and he answered, "Dad, which aspects are you curious about?"
Gu Jian Country thought for a mont and slowly said, "Why don’t you start with where your money cos from?"
This question, too, was sothing Gu Jian Country had wanted to know for a while.
Gu Bai was already prepared with a response, even having made a series of preparations. He stood up and took out a thick stack of docunts from his suitcase, placing them in front of Gu Jian Country.
"What’s this?"
Gu Jian Country picked up the docunt full of English, asking with curiosity.
"This is the explanation of where my money cos from."
Gu Jian Country looked at Gu Bai with suspicion, "You’re not trying to fool because I don’t know English, are you?"
After saying this, he promptly called Xu Chenggong, who was sitting on the other side, to view the docunts together.
"Futures Transaction?
Bai Bai, are you dealing in futures trading?"
Xu Chenggong instantly noticed the large English phrase at the top of the docunt and asked with curiosity.
Gu Bai sat on the sofa, as calm as an old dog.
"That’s right, these docunts are a record of all my operations and profit statents since I started engaging in international financial futures trading, and I’ve printed them all out."
Gu Bai lied without batting an eye; these docunts were fabricated profit statents made by Gu Xin based on the fluctuations in the international financial futures market over the past two years. Though fake, each market fluctuation in the docunts was real, and the money earned was real, only the person who earned it was not Gu Bai.
This docunt wouldn’t be easily suspected even by insiders familiar with the financial futures market, let alone Gu Jian Country and Xu Chenggong, who were ordinary people who just dabbled in stocks. This was Gu Bai’s confidence.
The two briefly flipped through the docunts, finding the market fluctuations and profits incomprehensible, and put the thick stack of docunts back on the table.
They already believed Gu Bai when they saw the docunt. Strictly speaking, they weren’t overly concerned with where Gu Bai’s money ca from; they just wanted peace of mind, a sign of concern from the elders.
Although Gu Jian Country couldn’t understand the docunts, he still carefully organized the stack of papers, pride filling his eyes. To him, this was a testant to his son’s success.
Looking at Gu Jian Country’s actions, Gu Bai felt so guilt for deceiving him, but it was a helpless move, as the system’s existence was too fantastical for Gu Bai to explain clearly to them.
After storing the docunts, Gu Jian Country continued to ask, "So you an to say that all your money was earned from the international futures market these past few months?"
Gu Bai nodded and replied, "Not just these past few months; I started engaging with financial futures since I started college last year. I made about tens of millions last year, but the real big money started coming in this year."
Hearing Gu Bai speak as if tens of millions were just pocket change, Xu Chenggong swallowed and couldn’t help but carefully ask, "Bai Bai, how much do you have now?"
Gu Bai snatched a peeled orange from Xu Beibei, threw a segnt into his mouth, and under Xu Beibei’s pouting glare, softly said, "My current assets are hard to calculate, but including the unspent money in the charity fund, it’s about four or five hundred billion."
"What?!"
Gu Jian Country and Xu Chenggong exclaid together.
"How much?!"
"Four or five hundred billion..."
Gu Bai knew this would shock the two, but he didn’t expect such a large reaction, nearly dropping the orange in his hand.
From the kitchen, Xu Hong and Helan, who had been eavesdropping, also erged.
