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

"I just thought that since you and Xu Yang might be getting back together, I'd treat the girls to a meal to celebrate," Liu Yujuan said nonchalantly.

"Celebrate? You're celebrating when there isn't even a hint of that happening, so much that you pawned your own watch!" Zhao Yulu was still fuming.

"So I pawned it, so what? I figured that if you and Xu Yang got back together, I could get some money from him to redeem it," Liu Yujuan explained.

"Now that you know it's impossible between him and me, what do you plan to do?" Zhao Yulu asked.

"I was hoping you'd help me borrow some money," Liu Yujuan said.

"Do you think I can borrow money? If I could, would I have had you help me repay a debt of a million?"

"Good thing you helped me with the million debt, or else you would've squandered everything," Liu Yujuan countered.

Zhao Yulu got so angry that she put down her chopsticks, feeling too upset to eat anymore.

"Yu Lu, don't say you can't borrow it, you can," Liu Yujuan insisted.

"How can I?" Zhao Yulu challenged.

"Borrow it from Yu Xin. Didn't you say you borrowed two million from her? You haven't paid it back yet, and it doesn't matter to her whether you do or not because she's rich. If you help me borrow two million from her, wouldn't that solve the problem?" Liu Yujuan offered a solution.

"I have no face to borrow from her, and why should I borrow from her for you?" Zhao Yulu naturally refused.

"Because I am your mother? Isn't that reason enough?" Liu Yujuan, seeing Zhao Yulu's reluctance, bluntly pulled rank as her mother.

"What kind of mother does that?" Zhao Yulu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"What's wrong with how I mother? I worked hard to raise you. What's wrong with asking for a little help borrowing money?" Liu Yujuan argued confidently.

"Mom, are you trying to blackmail me?" Zhao Yulu found it hard to believe.

"It's not blackmail. Your mother has encountered difficulties. As a daughter, shouldn't you help me out?" Liu Yujuan said, as if it were her due.

"I won't help, even if I could borrow the money, I still wouldn't help. You should take care of yourself," Zhao Yulu said angrily as she got up and returned to her own room.

"You ungrateful girl, you won't help me even this one time. I've raised you in vain," Liu Yujuan trembled with rage.

But without Zhao Yulu's help, she was at a loss.

She had to think of another way.

So, what exactly could she do to get the money and redeem her watch? She really didn't want the watch to go from pawn to forfeit, which would be a huge loss.

After much thought, she couldn't come up with any solutions.

...

Soon, the time for the homeowners' gathering arrived.

Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin drove to a manor in the suburbs that covered hundreds of acres.

Outside the manor, luxury cars were parked everywhere.

Century Garden was a high-end community where all the residents were wealthy.

Mercedes, BMW, Audi—it was as if they cost nothing.

There were also quite a few Maseratis and Porsches.

And some were Bentleys, Maybachs, and Rolls-Royces.

Someone like Xu Yang, who drove a Rolls-Royce Cullinan, definitely belonged to the top tier.

Their arrival caught the attention of many.

After all, it was very rare to see such young homeowners.

Most of them were middle-aged.

"Who are those two, so young?"

"Don't know them, never seen them before."

"You don't even recognize this? You really are uninformed."

"What, you know them?"

"Of course, I know them. They are the owners of villa number 39. The man is Xu Yang, the boss of Fengcai Guild and JdL, and the woman is his wife."

"What! He is the boss of Fengcai Guild and JdL?"

"My God, I heard that the boss of Fengcai Guild and JdL is very young. I didn't expect him to be this young."

"I also heard that the boss of JdL started from scratch. That's really impressive."

"I can't believe that the boss of Fengcai Guild and JdL lives in the same neighborhood as us!"

"I heard that JdL is valued at over ten billion now. Seeing such a young billionaire for the first time, it's really something."

"I heard that the boss of JdL is acquainted with the nation's prominent young master Wang Xiaocong and has even attended Wang Xiaocong's birthday party."

"More than just acquainted, I heard the two are sworn brothers."

"It's said that it was him who invested in Wu Jing's 'War Leopard,' ensuring the movie's completion. And with his guild's help in promotion, 'War Leopard' managed to pull in over a billion at the box office."

"People say that the boss of JdL is a business genius. I've always wanted to meet him, and today, I finally have the chance. I must go and introduce myself."

"Since we live in the same area, that gives us a connection. We definitely should get to know each other."

Everyone was exclaiming continuously, buzzing with discussion, and their gazes toward Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin were extremely fervent.

Everyone wanted to make connections.

After all, this is a billionaire we're talking about.

Even in Century Garden, billionaires are few and far between.

Moreover, not to mention other things, given the popularity of JdL, it's expected that in just a few short years, it will grow into a hundred-billion hotpot empire.

By then, Xu Yang will be a hundred-billionaire.

Also, Xu Yang is sworn brothers with Wang Xiaocong.

Getting to know Xu Yang is like indirectly making connections with the nation's prominent young master Guo Wenlin and indirectly building a relationship with the tycoon Wang.

This kind of network is simply terrifying.

Living in the same neighborhood and attending such a gathering, it would be such a waste not to introduce oneself to Xu Yang.

Many people were itching to move, weighing how to get to know Xu Yang and leave a more lasting impression on him.

"Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, you've arrived."

Not long after the couple entered the estate, amidst the buzzing of conversations, Guo Wenlin walked over quickly.

"Manager Guo." Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin politely nodded to Guo Wenlin.

"Mr. Xu, Mrs. Xu, I am delighted that you could attend this gathering. Just now, I was talking with a few homeowners about you. They are very eager to meet you. Would you be interested in meeting them?" Guo Wenlin asked softly.

"Of course, I would also like to make more friends," Xu Yang knew that Guo Wenlin acted as an intermediary.

Plus, Guo Wenlin knew his identity, so the people he introduced would definitely not be ordinary folks.

He had come to the gathering to expand his network, naturally, he wouldn't refuse.

Rather than starting conversations on his own and getting to know the average homeowners, it was better to meet some high-quality homeowners through Guo Wenlin's introductions.

Of course, that didn't mean he looked down on the other ordinary homeowners; he didn't mind chatting with them either.

But at such gatherings, you could only meet a limited number of people; it's simply not realistic to meet everyone.

Given that, it was natural to prioritize meeting high-quality homeowners first.
