Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 23 - 0: Let’s each take what we need

"Is this your house?" Liu Yan asked.

Gu Feng shook his head, "No."

Lin Yue was astonished.

This house belonged to her best friend, but she and Gu Feng had agreed to tell Mrs. Lin that it was his.

Unexpectedly, Gu Feng took a different approach and continued, "I was always in Beijing before, and I only came to Jiangcheng after my relationship with Little Yue was confirmed. I haven’t had the chance to buy a house yet. When Little Yue has time, I’ll take her to look at some."

Mrs. Lin picked up her teacup and asked again, "What do you do for work in Beijing?"

"Stock funds," Gu Feng said.

Liu Yan nodded, "How are the returns?"

"It depends," Gu Feng paused, "Sometimes I might only earn a few small targets in a year when I’m lazy."

Pfft!

Both Lin mother and daughter choked on their tea.

Especially Lin Yue.

Her expression changed immediately.

I asked you to report a higher income, not to report it wildly!

A normal annual salary of one million is already considered exceptional, and reporting tens of millions would hardly be out of reach.

Do you even realize what a few small targets a year in income means?

Her Thunder Group, a foreign trade company, supports thousands of people and has annual revenues of 30 billion.

After deducting costs, employee salaries, and taxes, the net profit is around 3 billion.

After distributing dividends to shareholders, Lin Yue herself could get about 1.5 billion a year.

How could Gu Feng dare claim he earned several billions a year?

Mrs. Lin looked incredulous, "Stock investment banking makes that much money? How come the companies I invested in over the past few years are losing money?"

Lin Yue sighed internally.

It’s over!

Her mom, a wealthy businesswoman who likes to dabble in fund investments, certainly knows her stuff.

"If mom wants to make some extra money, you can let me manage your money. I can guarantee you at least 30% return per year," Gu Feng said with a smile.

Lin Yue coughed lightly, a must to save the situation, reminding Gu Feng, "How come I heard the annual returns in this industry are generally around 10%."

Big brother, if you don’t know, don’t bluff.

We might not understand special forces and military ranks, but finance and investment are something we’ve grown up with!

Who hasn’t privately dabbled in these fund management products?

Why is there fund management?

Because many wealthy people prefer not to keep their money in banks. Most of their money is in investment banks earning slightly higher rates than banks do.

Everyone is aware of what this industry entails.

However, Mrs. Lin and Liu Yan didn’t conclude there were issues with their future son-in-law just based on Gu Feng’s exaggerated claims.

On the contrary, she thought this was a result of two people not coordinating their statements.

It proved they weren’t acting.

Doesn’t Lin Yue understand finance and those so-called wealth management funds?

She certainly knows more than her!

Then, if the two were collaborating to put on a show, Lin Yue would definitely make sure Gu Feng’s answers were watertight!

"Great,"

Liu Yan smiled, setting down her cup, "I’ve also saved a billion over the last few years; I’ll give it to you later!"

Her probe wasn’t about to stop or end so soon.

Right now, it’s time for a counter play!

If this son-in-law is just a tool, her daughter wouldn’t possibly let such a large amount of money transfer into his hands.

What if he ran away?

Sure enough, upon hearing her mother’s words, Lin Yue immediately urged unnaturally, "Mom, that’s the money Dad left for you."

"It’s alright," Mrs. Lin Liu Yan smiled, "We’re all family here; I’m saving it for my grandchild anyway. Giving it to Feng early is the same."

Lin Yue became anxious, "Then give it to me, I need the money to streamline the group and buy back shares from other shareholders."

"I offered it to you before, and you didn’t want it. Why are you causing a scene now?" Mrs. Lin glared at her daughter and probed, "What, don’t you trust your husband?"

Not giving Lin Yue a chance to speak, Mrs. Lin turned to Gu Feng, "Feng, give me your investment banking company account, I’ll have someone transfer the money."

"Sure," Gu Feng nodded and took out his phone to ask Ye Wei to send him the account for the stock fund investment company via WeChat.

Mrs. Lin continued, "What do your in-laws do?"

Gu Feng, "They both work at their jobs."

Liu Yan’s eyes lit up. Jobs?

Could it be her daughter hadn’t lied and her son-in-law really has a background?

She asked again, "They must be very busy, right?"

Gu Feng nodded.

Liu Yan, "Then when can we take some time for a meal together?"

Lin Yue hurriedly interjected, "Mom, his family doesn’t even know about my relationship with Gu Feng, from confirming it to registering the marriage. Let Gu Feng discuss it with his family before we arrange anything."

"Is it that your parents don’t allow you to marry someone from outside the area?" Liu Yan pondered whether Gu Feng’s family, if they were indeed well-connected, might seek a marriage similar to the Su family, who only intermarry with well-established families from Beijing?

"Not at all," Gu Feng smiled, "Mainly they’re just too busy. When my mom comes to visit me in a while, I plan to talk to her about this."

"Alright, then make sure to bring your mother-in-law to visit our home. I won’t disturb you two now, but do come over to our place when you have time."

Lin Yue and Gu Feng smiled as they escorted Mrs. Lin out.

Afterwards, Lin Yue turned around and sprinted into Gu Feng’s bedroom, quickly gathering all her underwear and moving it to another room.

Coming out, she warned Gu Feng, staring intently, "I’ll be watching you, don’t you think about running off."

Gu Feng was puzzled, "Run off where?"

Lin Yue, "Don’t get any ideas about my mom’s money."

Once Gu Feng realized, he couldn’t help but laugh and cry, politely helping Lin Yue push her luggage into her room, while saying, "That’s unnecessary. I’m helping you, but actually, I need your help as well."

Lin Yue, "What do you mean?"

Gu Feng, "My mom is also pressuring me to get married, and I don’t know when she’ll come to visit. I need your help then."

"Really?" Lin Yue’s pupils shook, "I thought you were just making up terms to go along with me earlier."

"Seriously," Gu Feng said earnestly, "You don’t need to be wary of me. I need this marriage certificate just as much as you do. We both have our needs, so I’ll handle things for your family and you handle things for mine. Let’s just go by the contract."

"If you are worried, I’ll transfer that one billion from your mom back to you later."

Lin Yue shook her head, "Forget it, that might also be my mom testing me. If I take it back, it would just be falling into her trap. Just keep it in your company’s account for now."
