The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Mijia Villa.

At this moment, Miley's father, Miley Xiong, was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

My daughter didn't come home last night, and her phone was off when I called her this morning. My daughter, Milei, instinctively felt that something had happened to her.

"Did you get through to our daughter on the phone?" Mi Lixiong roared at his wife.

“I’m still calling, what’s the rush?” Mrs. Mi said, holding up her phone.

"How can I not be worried? Our daughter hasn't come home all night, and we can't reach her by phone today. Aren't you worried that something might have happened to her?" Mi Lixiong said anxiously.

"Didn't our daughter say she was staying at a friend's house yesterday?" Mrs. Mi said. "It's not like she hasn't stayed out all night before!"

“That’s different,” Mi Lixiong said worriedly. “My daughter used to stay at a friend’s house and would call home at night to let us know she was safe.”

She's been out of contact for a whole day and night now, which is very unusual!

Mi's mother said, "My daughter just broke up with her boyfriend and is in a bad mood. She must have forgotten to call home."

Mili Xiong frowned and said, "No, I have a feeling it's not that simple. Do you have the phone number of which friend's house your daughter stayed at last night?"

Mother Mi shook her head and said, "My daughter has so many friends, how would I know?"

Mili Xiong said with dissatisfaction, "What kind of mother are you? You don't even know where your daughter is?"

Mother Mi said angrily, "My daughter isn't just mine. You don't know where she is either, so why blame me?"

"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you. The most important thing now is to find our daughter."

Mili Xiong took out his phone and said, "I'll contact my daughter's best friends."

Mother Mi said worriedly, "Let's not do it! Our daughter is all grown up now, and she cares about her reputation. If she finds out, she'll definitely blame us again."

Mili Xiong said urgently, "What time is it now? I don't care about any of that. Just give me your phone number!"

As Mrs. Mi took out her phone, hesitating whether to give out the phone number, the family's nanny ran over and exclaimed, "Miss is back!"

Mili Xiong and his mother were overjoyed upon hearing this and rushed to the door. Sure enough, they saw their daughter, Mi Lai, with a young man beside her.

"Daughter, where did you run off to all night? I was so worried about you!" Mother Mi rushed over and hugged her daughter, exclaiming loudly.

Although Mi Lixiong was more concerned about his daughter, he remained calm and didn't show it too much. Instead, he was more interested in who the young man next to Mi Lai was.

"Mom, I got drunk yesterday and slept at Sister Manny's house for the night," Mi Lai explained.

"Then why can't I get through to you when I call you?" Mrs. Mi asked anxiously.

“My phone was dead and I didn’t have a charger,” Mi Lai explained. “My friend brought me back.”

Wang Gang said generously, "Hello, uncles and aunts, I'm Gao Qiang, a friend of Mi Lai. I'll be going now."

"Young man, don't go yet. I haven't thanked you for bringing Mi Lai back." Mi Lixiong looked Wang Gang up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.

Mi Lai said, "Dad, let Gao Qiang go back first! He's been exhausted all night."

Mili Xiong narrowed his eyes and said, "The drinks you had together yesterday?"

Before Mi Lai could understand her father's meaning, she said directly, "I got drunk yesterday, and Gao Qiang and Sister Manny took care of me."

At this point, Mi Mu also began to scrutinize Wang Gang.

“Young man, how long have you known Mi Lai? How come I’ve never heard her mention her?”

Wang Gang knew that Mi Lai's parents must have misunderstood, so he explained, "Uncle and Aunt, I am Lu Tao's classmate. I just happened to meet Mi Lai at the bar yesterday."

Mentioning Lu Tao only made things worse; the mere mention of him caused Mi Lai's parents' expressions to change. "Hmph," Mi Lixiong sneered, "That brat Lu Tao dared to do something so disrespectful to my daughter! He's utterly heartless and ungrateful!"

"Alright." Noticing her daughter's bad mood and the obvious signs of crying on her face, Mrs. Mi quickly said, "Our daughter is tired too, let her go back to her room and rest early!"

Mili Xiong nodded silently and told his wife to take their daughter home to rest.

"Young man, thank you for keeping Mi Lai company." Mi Lixiong said to Wang Gang with a smile, "Come visit me at home anytime you have time!"

Wang Gang exchanged a few polite words with Mi Lixiong, then took his leave.

Actually, he was busy most of the night yesterday and was a bit tired, so he wanted to go home and sleep early.

When Wang Gang arrived home, he found his parents there, seemingly waiting for him.

"Mom and Dad, aren't you at work?"

Mr. Gao frowned and said, "Where did you go yesterday? Why didn't you come back all night?"

Wang Gang said, "Didn't I call you and tell you? I was drinking with my friends all night."

Gao's mother asked, "Which friend? I called Lu Tao and Xiang Nan, and they said they weren't with you."

Wang Gang said speechlessly, "I have more than just those friends. I drank with other friends."

Mr. Gao said earnestly, "Gao Qiang, you haven't mentioned winning the lottery to anyone, have you?"

Wang Gang shook his head and said, "I just mentioned it to Hua Zi. Aren't we now partners in a used car dealership?"

Mr. and Mrs. Gao exchanged a glance and said, "Son, don't talk to anyone anymore. I'm worried that someone will approach you for money."

Wang Gang asked in surprise, "Isn't that unnecessary?"

Gao's mother said anxiously, "How can it be unnecessary? I don't even dare to tell our relatives about winning the lottery. There are too many bad people out there!"
Old Zhang from my factory, his younger brother made a fortune in business, but he spent all his time hanging out with bad influences, gambling like everyone else, and ended up losing everything. His wife even left him, taking the kids with her!

Wang Gang knew what his parents were worried about, but he really felt it was unnecessary.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry! I won't touch any bad things," Wang Gang said.

"Of course we believe you," Mr. Gao said worriedly, "but we don't trust outsiders. You should drink less alcohol in the future. What if someone adds something to your drink?"

At this point in time, while reform and opening up have made a group of people rich, a group of monstrous figures have also emerged, and things are indeed a bit chaotic.

It's normal for Gao's parents to have those concerns, and Wang Gang can understand them.

"Mom and Dad, I have some good news for you. The stocks I bought have doubled in value," Wang Gang interrupted.

"It really went up?" Mr. Gao asked in surprise.

Wang Gang turned on his computer and showed his stock account balance. When Gao's parents saw the amount, their mouths gaped open in surprise, and they couldn't close them for a long time.

"You really made almost a million from stocks?" Mr. Gao rubbed his eyes, unable to believe it.

“Dad, your son is a stock market genius,” Wang Gang said with a smile.

Mr. Gao looked at Wang Gang with mixed feelings. He had been investing in stocks for many years and had always lost money. He never expected that his son would double his capital on his first stock investment!
At the same time, Gao's father realized that there was no way to persuade his son to stop now.

“Gao Qiang, it’s good that you’re making money, but investing all of it in the stock market like this is too risky,” Gao’s mother suggested.
"Since you've made quite a bit of money, could you withdraw your initial investment of one million and save it so you'll have a safety net for the future?"

“No problem, I’ll transfer one million to you. You can save it for me. I’ll use the money I make to invest in stocks. If I lose it all, I’ll stop,” Wang Gang said with a smile.

"Good, good." Seeing her son "listen to advice," Gao's mother felt very gratified. (End of Chapter)
