Daily synopsis: My superpowers are updated every season.

Chapter 1061 It's easy to talk when you're not the one suffering! Anyone can do that! (Day 37 of Saturday nights, please vote!)

Just as Jiang Pengfei was getting completely impatient and went to knock on the door again, his phone rang. It was his daughter calling. He glanced inside the house and answered the call.

On the other end of the phone came his daughter Jiang Nansun's angry roar: "Dad, what do you want to do? Why are you still looking for him! Go back right now!"

"Nan Sun, how dare you talk to your father like that?" Jiang Pengfei said, very dissatisfied. "You were the one who didn't listen to me and went to him first. Now you're telling me not to go to him anymore. Do you even consider me your father?"

These words made Jiang Nansun even more uncomfortable, and he was so angry and embarrassed that he couldn't speak.

"Alright, I won't go in. Let Xiao Zhang come out, or let him answer the phone!" Jiang Pengfei sensed that his daughter was upset and felt guilty, so he softened his tone.

"Uncle, what's up?" He Chen asked with a smile as he spoke into the phone.

"..." Jiang Pengfei sensed something was wrong. This shameless behavior was so blatant that it was clear the person had taken advantage of him and didn't care anymore. Once he pulled up his pants, he was all bravado. So he softened first, and even though they hadn't met, his expression was unusually gentle.

"Xiao Zhang, how are your stocks doing lately?"

"Uncle, I'm not playing the stock market anymore!" He Chen glanced at Jiang Nansun, who was covering his mouth and not saying a word, and said something that surprised Jiang Pengfei.

"You're not playing anymore? Did you lose money, or did you sell?" Jiang Pengfei asked anxiously.

He still had his eye on He Chen's stocks and money.

"The main problem is that without my uncle to guide me, I'm not very confident," He Chen said, stroking Jiang Nansun as he spoke nonsense with a straight face.

"Moreover, Nan Sun did not approve of me continuing to speculate in stocks, worrying that I would lose nine out of ten times. I thought about it and he was right, so I sold all my stocks."

"What about the money?" Jiang Pengfei blurted out.

"After paying off the loan, I actually made a profit, but I paid it off early," He Chen said with a smile. "Uncle, you know that I bought the house with a loan before, and this debt was a bit of a psychological burden. I thought it would be better to be debt-free, don't you think?"

"..." Jiang Pengfei, who was on the verge of neurasthenia from being burdened by debt, felt his blood pressure spike when he heard He Chen say that.

Whether He Chen said it on purpose or not, it's just too damn infuriating!

"Are you out of your mind? You've made money, and you're using it to pay off your mortgage early. Don't you know that money is becoming less and less valuable in the future? The later you pay off your mortgage, the more worthwhile it is?"
Now that you have this money, you could use it as capital to make a fortune! You're so foolish!

“Uncle, I don’t think so,” He Chen retorted. “The economy won’t keep growing at such a high speed forever, and the interest on these loans isn’t low either. Paying off the loans early and being debt-free will make you feel much lighter.”

Otherwise, if one day money isn't as easy to earn as it is now, and my job becomes unstable, then the seemingly small monthly debt I'm carrying now will become a deadly mountain and rope, making me unhappy!

Nan Sun also supported me; she thought I was right.

"Nan Sun, don't you think so?"

"Mmm." Jiang Nansun tried to remain calm, but her voice still trembled slightly.

However, Jiang Pengfei had no time to pay attention to any of this. His mind was filled with the thought that He Chen was too stupid to have done something so...unfavorable to him!

Seeing that it was his daughter who reminded He Chen to do this, she was probably using him as a negative example again. So she urged He Chen to make up his mind to clear out the inventory and quickly pay off the loan in advance, which made him furious.

This unfilial daughter still dares to stay inside and fool around with He Chen right in front of him, and even dares to speak up for He Chen and refute him. She's defying heaven!

"Xiao Zhang, you don't understand! Don't listen to Nan Sun. She has never experienced hardship. She always thinks that not having much money is no big deal, but she has no idea what hardship is like!"
Nothing else to say!

Take breakfast for example. If the same breakfast is served seven days a week, or if the white fungus soup she makes for dinner has too much sugar in it, she will definitely start nagging and complaining!
So Xiao Zhang, don't listen to her. Just being debt-free is enough to make life easy?

She'll feel really uncomfortable then!
If you want to marry her, listen to me!

"Dad, stop talking!" Jiang Nansun cried out, seizing the opportunity. Her own father's words were too embarrassing for her.

But it was still the absolute truth.

But this stark truth only fueled her determination to prove to He Chen that she was capable of enduring hardship, or at least a normal life.

They only had pure love and didn't need any excessive material support!

"Uncle, I understand what you mean," He Chen said with a smile. "There's nothing I can do about it, but I think you can go to your aunt."

She is a career elite who earns foreign currency abroad, lives in a luxury house, and also owns houses in China that she renovates into guesthouses. She has plenty of money, and it's all spare money.

The relationship between you two is much closer than ours is now.

Her abilities are far superior to mine now.

So if you need some money temporarily, Uncle, asking your aunt is the best option.

You are her brother-in-law, and you've allowed her sister to enjoy wealth and luxury for over twenty years. I think if you talk to her nicely, she can't possibly refuse.

Otherwise, that would be too inhuman!
Uncle, please don't think I'm just brushing you off. I genuinely hope you can get your finances back as soon as possible, so that Nansun can get your support and save up her dowry quickly.

"..." Jiang Pengfei and Jiang Nansun were both extremely embarrassed and speechless.

Does Jiang Nansun's aunt, Daisy, have this ability?

There definitely is!

Putting everything else aside, Daisy knows Ye Jinyan, the CEO of Jingyan Group, one of the leading real estate companies in Shanghai. This is the big shot that Jiang Pengfei has been longing to meet, hoping to get industry insider information from Ye Jinyan to speculate on stocks.

But Daisy completely ignored him.

Not to mention selling houses in China that have been converted into residential buildings to him for "leverage"?

If possible, this three-bedroom, one-living-room house alone could be converted into a four-and-a-half-room guesthouse that can accommodate nine people. And that's not even the house in the suburbs of 'Zhang Anren'. Its value would be absolutely considerable.

Ten million is not a problem.

This is just the house in China. If you include the houses abroad and the savings, it's unrealistic to expect Aunt Jiang Nansun to help, let alone support the Jiang family.

Firstly, for gambler Jiang Pengfei, no amount of money is enough to cover his losses; secondly, the two families are not related in such a way that Daisy, his sister-in-law, is expected to be his pillar of support.

But helping to cover the bottom line is no problem.

However, it does not.

In the original storyline, Jiang Nansun's aunt was only there to clean up the mess and collect the corpses; she didn't care about the debts at all.

This still deeply moved Jiang Nansun.

Even more outrageous is that the rigid professor, who is practically Playboy's tool, suddenly started to treat Jiang Nansun differently, showing her all sorts of kindness and acting as if he wanted to help her out of respect for Playboy.

However, it was all just empty talk and comfort. It was easy for them to talk when they were not in the same boat. Instead, they looked down on Zhang Anren for his hesitation and unwillingness to fully commit to the abyss created by the spendthrift Jiang Pengfei, who might actually be dragged into this debt crisis.

Although He Chen is now playing the role of Zhang Anren, he is not the Zhang Anren in the original story. He not only doesn't consider whether to help or not, but also directly states that he can't help. He also drags along the people in the original story who clearly didn't help, but seemed to be so good to Jiang Nansun, so that Jiang Nansun can see the true colors of these people.
