Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again-Chapter 265 - 116: The Junior Schoolmate’s Mother’s Worries

Su Jianjun gritted his teeth.

Of course, he couldn't let Su Zelin hit Qin Daqing, so he had to sacrifice a bit of his own interests again.

But Su Dad swore to himself right then and there.

If I ever give this brat another penny of allowance, may I be struck by lightning and meet a bad end!

...

Late at night, at the Qin family.

Liu Sufen was combing her hair in front of the mirror and casually asked, "Daqing, what did Old Su want from you just now?"

As soon as Su Jianjun settled the terms with his son, he ran to Qin Daqing's house that night to tell him about his plan to invest in the B-share market.

Since the National could open the B-share market to domestic investors at any time, it was better for Qin Daqing to know earlier.

"We talked a bit about stocks. Zelin is optimistic about a few stocks, believes they have the potential for a big rise, and Old Su plans to buy some, so he asked if I was interested."

Qin Daqing didn't hide anything from his wife.

"The stocks Zelin is optimistic about?"

Liu Sufen perked up immediately.

The last time the neighbor's kid used his lottery winnings to invest in some stock, in just a month he made over a hundred thousand, almost matching their savings. This made Granny Qin very jealous.

She stopped combing her hair: "So, what do you think about those stocks?"

"I think Zelin is quite reasonable. Those stocks are in the B-share market, which has been around for many years but hasn't really taken off. Recently, there's been news that the National intends to put a lot of effort into developing it. Senior leaders have emphasized this several times in important meetings. Zelin has gathered a lot of information online, predicting that there will be strong policy support, and the stocks he likes will be the biggest beneficiaries!"

Qin Daqing patiently explained, but it was like playing the piano to a cow; Liu Sufen didn't understand much of the professional jargon.

Granny Qin was concerned about something else: "Can we make money from it?"

"The stock market has risks, no one dares to claim guaranteed profits!"

Qin Daqing spoke cautiously.

"However, according to Zelin's predictions, even if those stocks drop, the decline should be limited. If they rise, within a few months, they could potentially triple in value!"

"Triple!"

Liu Sufen was shocked.

In the past, she would have scoffed at such a claim.

However, after Su Zelin used his lottery winnings to earn three times his money in just a month after the college entrance exam, the facts left her no choice but to believe that the stock market was indeed crazy.

It was after this that she allowed her husband to start trading stocks, and over the past six months, there had been some modest gains.

Liu Sufen was tempted: "How much is Jianjun planning to invest?"

"Thirty thousand!"

"That's quite a bit!"

Liu Sufen was surprised again.

Her husband had said that he and Su Jianjun usually just played around with amounts like ten thousand, so in Granny Qin's view, a thirty thousand investment in the stock market was already very high.

Of course, she didn't know she was being tricked by Qin Daqing and Su Jianjun. The two usually invested twenty or thirty thousand in stocks.

Moreover, Su Jianjun was hiding something this time. Su Dad was investing at least a hundred thousand, definitely no less than his own son.

"What about Zelin?"

Liu Sufen asked again.

"The same!"

"Also thirty thousand?"

"Yes!"

After hearing her husband's words, Liu Sufen was unsettled.

Together, that added up to a whopping sixty thousand!

The father and son next door must be really confident in those stocks to dare bet so much.

If she knew that Su Jianjun and Su Zelin together might be nearing three hundred thousand, she would probably be in shock.

"Daqing, why don't we invest a little too?"

Liu Sufen hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Previously, when her husband traded stocks, although Granny Qin didn't object, she also didn't take the initiative to promote it.

This time, however, she was moved.

It was mainly because of the impact of Su Zelin making money from the Shenghai Mei Lin investment.

Their savings were already falling behind others'. If the Qin family, father and son, also teamed up in stocks, and if Su Zelin picked another winner, the wealth gap could further widen.

Granny Qin still cared about appearances, so she was anxious.

Qin Daqing had been waiting for her to say this: "How much do you think is appropriate to invest?"

"Since they are so confident, let's also invest fifty thousand!"

Liu Sufen gritted her teeth and went all in.

Taking out fifty thousand to buy stocks was something she had never dared to even think about before.

"Are you sure? Isn't that too much?"

Qin Daqing played hard to get.

"It's fine, that's not all the money, there's still a lot left in the savings account!"

Liu Sufen was uncharacteristically encouraging her husband to invest more in the stock market, making Qin Dad very happy.

However, he remained indifferent.

"Well… alright then!"

Qin Daqing agreed "reluctantly".

He then added, "You said it, so if we lose money, you can't blame me!"

"No problem, I said it, I won't blame you!"

Granny Qin nodded.

I'll trust Zelin this time and see if he can bring me a surprise!

...

A few days later, with a week left until the Spring Festival, No. 2 Middle School was also on vacation.

Lijing District.

When he got home that day, Junior Sister immediately called Su Zelin: "Senior, I'm on holiday, why don't we meet for tea tonight? Or we could go out for a late night snack!"

"I'm afraid tonight won't work!"

"Why not?"

"Because we have a high school reunion tonight."

As soon as Huang Panpan went on holiday, Su Zelin had a class reunion, which was no coincidence.

Because this reunion was held at the No. 2 Middle School campus.

Several class officers had discussed it and felt that having a gathering back at the school was more meaningful and also cheaper than outside.

This was quite different from the future trend of always eating and singing karaoke; current reunions were still quite innocent, lacking the vulgarity of their future counterparts, so Su Zelin wanted to attend.

If it were just dinner and karaoke, it really wouldn't be appealing.

So they had to wait until No. 2 Middle School went on break to borrow an empty classroom from their homeroom teacher Old Guo as a venue.

"Senior, how about tomorrow night then?"

Huang Panpan asked tentatively again.

"Alright!"

This time, Su Zelin didn't refuse.

After all, he also needed to return that bank card to Huang Panpan.

"Great, it's settled then, see you tomorrow night, come rain or shine!"

Huang Panpan was very happy.

After chatting a bit more, they hung up, and Junior Sister walked out of the room in high spirits, humming a song.

In the villa's living room, Li Juan watched her daughter's radiant demeanor and couldn't help but say to her husband beside her, "What's up with Panpan today? Is something good happening? She seems quite cheerful."

"It must be… that person is back."

Huang Hongbo thought for a moment and came to this conclusion.

"Su Zelin?"

Li Juan frowned.

Considering the time, the university had been on break for a while, so it was no surprise that Su Zelin had returned to Jianglan.

Li Juan's attitude towards this boy was conflicted.

On one hand, because of Su Zelin, her daughter became more sensible, ambitious, and even stopped wearing those flashy outfits.

However, Su Zelin was a troublemaker who smoked, fought, and didn't care for studies.

Not to mention she didn't support Huang Panpan being in a relationship in high school, and she also thought a boy like that wasn't worthy of her daughter. Yet, she didn't know how to stop it.

She frowned deeply: "What's so special about that boy? After being in Lin'an for so long, Panpan still thinks about him. I'm really worried that our daughter is falling deeper and deeper!"

"Oh, why worry so much!"

Huang Hongbo wasn't as concerned as his wife. As long as his daughter forgave him, everything else was manageable.

Being a big entrepreneur, he didn't hold any grudges against Su Zelin and was even grateful to him for putting his daughter back on the right track, so he felt differently than Li Juan on this matter.

"Look, her grades are improving, and she's more obedient, not ignoring us like before. That's enough, right? As for liking a boy, that's her own choice. Many girls date in college, it's not something we can control."

Li Juan snorted: "You're too careless. I know we can't control it forever, but she deserves a better boy. She's now all focused on getting into the Economics and Finance Institute, and it's only a matter of time before that hooligan ruins her!"

"So what do you plan to do?"

Huang Hongbo became nervous.

"Li Juan, let me tell you, don't meddle. It wasn't easy for our daughter to become obedient, if you cause any problems now, I'll be really upset!"

"Don't worry, I know my limits!"

Li Juan thought to herself, I know my daughter's character well enough, of course, I can't directly confront Panpan on this matter.

However, maybe I can talk to that boy privately.
