After being reborn, my sister insisted on marrying me.
Chapter 54: Kim Se-rin: "It's not that I can't join..."
Yanjing City.
Zhichun East Lane.
The table was silent for several seconds.
Chen Xinyi crossed her arms, her peach blossom eyes fixed on Wei Yi, her tone as if she were interrogating a case.
"Tell me. How did you get this hundred million?"
Wei Yi put down his chopsticks.
He was prepared for this confession, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly.
He originally planned to talk about it later.
But I got carried away with the conversation and it got onto the topic of funding, so I just let it slip.
"It's not actually that complicated."
He took a sip of soup, trying to keep his tone calm, "I bet pretty wildly on the last few matches of the World Cup. I started with ten million, placing all sorts of large bets, and I hit a big one in the final between Germany and Argentina. By the end of the World Cup, it had increased more than fivefold, and including the initial investment, it totaled more than sixty million."
The three women blinked simultaneously.
This number is already alarming enough.
But it's still a far cry from "one hundred million".
"And then?" Chen Xinyi pressed.
"Then I invested all that money in Bitcoin."
Bitcoin?
"Yes. It was very cheap when I bought it, just over two thousand. It has risen quite a bit recently, and now it's around four thousand one. So that sixty million has become about one or two hundred million."
Jin Shilin frowned: "What is Bitcoin? The virtual one? I think I've seen it online. Aren't a lot of people saying it's a bubble?"
"It's a bubble," Wei Yi nodded, his tone frank. "But a bubble is invincible when it's inflating. I thought it would rise further in the short term, so I bought it."
Lin Siyan rarely spoke, her voice as soft as ever: "When did you start paying attention to Bitcoin? It's quite risky."
Of course, the risks are considerable.
But the profit margin could be higher.
The highest price he ever paid in his previous life was more than a hundred times higher than his current purchase price.
But I can't say that.
"It was during military training," he continued, maintaining his half-truthful explanation. "At the time, I saw in the news that Bitcoin had dropped to over three thousand, and then to over two thousand, so I did some research on it."
In front of three top students—no, two.
Jin Shilin could not be considered a top student; at best, she was mediocre in her studies.
However, she has excellent execution skills and is very meticulous.
His sister and Sister Lin are the real high achievers, in every sense of the word.
Therefore, Wei Yi had carefully considered this excuse.
"...I think the underlying logic of this is sound, and with global liquidity easing, these types of assets will likely perform well. So I used the money I won from the World Cup to build a position."
The dining table fell silent again.
In the final few matches of the World Cup, he won more than 50 million with a 10 million bet.
Then they invested all their money in a cryptocurrency that most people online had never even heard of.
The price of currency has nearly doubled.
He is now worth over 100 million.
Jin Shilin lowered her head, picked up her chopsticks and put them down again, picked up her water glass and put it down again.
She took a deep breath and placed both hands flat on the table. "So, in just over two months, you used your 15,000 yuan allowance to gamble on soccer and won over 100 million. Then you used another 10 million to win over 60 million in a few days. And then you used that 60 million to buy something that many people online say is a scam. In the end, it became over 100 million."
"That's about right."
To be precise...
He won 1.5 million from 3.5.
However, you still need to hide your secret stash of money.
He only chose to reveal his cryptocurrency investment to the three women he trusted most beforehand.
I won't talk about my older sister.
The remaining two older sisters are basically tied up.
So I'm not afraid.
"And your sister, along with the rest of us, has been incredibly busy since summer vacation. She opened nine bubble tea shops, working herself to the bone. How much did she earn? Two hundred thousand? Three hundred thousand?"
Lin Siyan, who was in charge of the accounts, chimed in from the side, her tone low and somber: "After deducting all costs and outstanding payments, the net profit is still less than 100,000."
Jin Shilin turned to Lin Siyan, and the two looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
Chen Xinyi pushed her chair back and looked up at the ceiling.
At this moment, the shrewdness and sharpness that usually shone in her peach blossom eyes were gone.
All that's left is a sense of bewilderment after being manipulated by life.
"Why do I suddenly feel like I'm a bit of a failure? I've been busy for over two years, opened several stores, earned millions, and started driving a BMW. I thought I was pretty awesome among my peers."
She sighed deeply, "As a result, my brother lay on the sofa, enjoying the air conditioning, watching sports, and playing on his phone. In just over two months, he earned hundreds of times more than I had in the past few years combined."
"Xinyi, you don't need to say that."
Jin Shilin said quietly, "You're already outstanding, a hundred times better than me. If you're trash, then what am I? The ultimate trash among trash?"
Lin Siyan didn't say anything.
She kept her head down, staring at the teacup in front of her.
She couldn't quite figure out how she was feeling at that moment.
On the one hand, her family is also wealthy; they've seen hundreds of millions before.
Her father has been doing business in the Yangtze River Delta region for decades, and his net worth is probably two or three hundred million yuan.
She has never had to worry about money since she was a child.
But that was the money her parents earned over their entire lives.
Wei Yi only took a little over two months.
She saw it with her own eyes.
During summer vacation, he was still staying up late watching and betting on football. At that time, she thought he was a lucky and daring guy.
Later, he helped Chen Xinyi formulate a strategy for the tea beverage industry, and she felt that he did have a good business sense.
Later, he started a bike-sharing business, and she felt that he had great ambitions.
Now?
Emotionally, she now feels like she could strangle the guy who stole her lover right now.
Rationally, however, he began to admire this younger brother who was three years younger than him.
Chen Xinyi sighed again and sat up straight.
She picked up her chopsticks and took a piece of braised pork ribs that had long since gone cold.
He chewed a couple of times and then suddenly laughed.
"whee……"
Chen Xinyi laughed louder and louder, until it started to sound like maniacal laughter.
"Haha~ No, that's not right. I'm not useless! On the contrary, I'm actually a super genius. You know, I recognized his talent when he was only one year old. What does that mean? It means that I'm only slightly worse than Zhuge Liang when it comes to judging people!"
"Sis, you really have a good eye for people."
Wei Yi, who hadn't said a word, complimented his older sister.
This isn't to say that his sister took a liking to him when she was so young; it's just that she has good taste and is subtly praising herself.
In fact, Wei Yi knew from his past life that his older sister had excellent taste.
She chose the members who could truly enter the core of the chaotic family.
Not one of them is unreliable.
Kim Se-rin is a strong executive with a tolerant personality. She is an absolute talent in business, but she is not good at expanding territory. However, she is extremely good at charging into battle and maintaining the status quo.
And she also likes children.
Chen Xinyi's love for children is somewhat pathological.
She just enjoys watching her best friend being... by her husband...
At the same time, she has a bit of the style of a Chaoshan patriarch.
That shows that she enjoys having children and loves seeing her own children.
Kim Se-rin truly loves children from the bottom of her heart. Whether they are her own children or children born to other women, she is the most beloved and warmest second mother in the family.
As for Lin Siyan, let's not talk about her.
She would have either had personality flaws or been unlucky enough to meet Chen Xinyi.
In terms of career and work, she is actually another version of Chen Xinyi.
They might even be stronger because of their better family background and better starting point.
She is Chen Xinyi's strategist in her career, loyal and capable, with excellent logistical support, and able to stand on her own when needed.
It's just cold.
She didn't even like the children she gave birth to; she was an iceberg-like mother whom all the children feared.
Two other members also joined the core of the "Five Tigers".
They are all excellent in their own way.
Beauty was merely the threshold for them to catch Chen Xinyi's eye.
To stay by Chen Xinyi's side for a long time, one needs to have a good enough personality or ability.
Others who were beautiful caught Chen Xinyi's eye at first glance, but had personality flaws or lacked ability.
Chen Xinyi only let him have his fun and that was it.
At most, she'll call her younger brother over when she has free time or feels interested, and they'll go out to play.
They were never allowed into the extended family from beginning to end.
Many subsequent events proved that they were indeed incapable.
Isn't this good taste?
Wei Yi thought this was really good taste!
However, to Jin Shilin and Lin Siyan, his current praise of his sister sounded like he was flattering himself.
Jin Shilin rolled her eyes: "I know you're good. But bragging is unacceptable."
"Sister Shilin is right, boasting is unacceptable." Wei Yi lowered his head and drank his soup, not arguing with the children's second mother.
Kim Se-rin did not retaliate.
She was piecing together a portrait of Wei Yi in her mind.
The first time she met him was at a Korean food restaurant. Chen Xinyi brought him there and said that he was the child husband she had raised for seventeen years.
At that time, she thought the boy was indeed good-looking, tall, with a good figure, and a slightly shy smile.
But that's all there is to it. What's so special about a high school student who just finished the college entrance exam?
Later she realized she had misjudged him.
He helped Chen Xinyi define the brand positioning and marketing strategy for the tea beverage industry.
The directions taken by Heytea and Sweet Ice Cream were entirely his ideas.
He explained concepts like supply chain sharing, brand personification, and influencer marketing very clearly; it wasn't something you could just make up after reading a few business magazines.
Later she found out he was involved in bike sharing.
A freshman who hasn't even registered yet has already written his study plan, made arrangements with a bicycle factory, and gotten all the school approvals during the summer vacation.
Before and after the start of the semester, his bicycles had already been deployed to five campuses, and now he's aiming for the eight-school alliance.
She discovered something else today.
He still has money.
The kind of rich that's extremely wealthy.
She earned more money in just over a month from the World Cup than she could possibly save in ten lifetimes.
They made a killing on Bitcoin again.
Including what his wife manages, his net worth is approaching 200 million, and he is not even twenty years old yet.
This is far more than her parents, who run a small boat factory in Busan.
Jin Shilin leaned back in her chair, and a thought suddenly popped into her head.
An idea that she had previously categorized as "Chen Xinyi's daily banter".
She remembered what Chen Xinyi had said in bed that day.
What "Sister Se-rin, you should try it too"? What "My brother is really great"? What "I don't mind"?
At the time, she thought Chen Xinyi was just being overly lively, taking it half as a joke, and half... to be honest, the other half did make her a little itchy inside.
After all, she is a normal woman, and Wei Yi's physical appearance speaks for itself. Today's close encounter at the gym further confirmed this for her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have said those things without thinking at the entrance of the residential area in the evening.
But it was just an itch.
Having a good appearance is one thing, but being itchy to try Chen Xinyi's desensitization experiment is another.
Humans are, after all, material beings, and ultimately need to exist in reality.
There are many things to consider.
What truly made her realize was that it wasn't impossible for her to give in to Chen Xinyi.
It's today's meal.
He and his sister now have over 200 million yuan.
His mind was faster than anyone she had ever met.
He treated his sister incredibly well, giving her a hundred million yuan without hesitation.
His physique, well, judging from the way Chen Xinyi always looked when she came out of the room, was probably indeed exceptionally gifted.
Kim Se-rin found herself seriously considering the feasibility of joining this big family.
She was startled by her own thought and quickly lowered her head to drink most of a glass of cold water.
Lin Siyan keenly noticed her unusual action and glanced at her sideways: "Sister Shilin, why is your face red again? The soup is too hot, so drink less of it."
"I'd be happy to! You can drink your tea!"
