Chapter 541: Chapter 541

Indeed, the richer people were, the more they generally made, and the poorer people were, the more they lost.

Those who didn’t understand thought it was just some people being naturally lucky with wealth, and others not. However, in the scientific realm of finance, it couldn’t be called luck but should be referred to as probability.

Anyone who had studied mathematics understood that probability was the numerator divided by the denominator. With a fixed denominator, the one with the larger numerator would surely win. Therefore, those who had more capital in their hands, as long as they used it properly, even just through stable operations, their wealth would continue to accumulate more than those without money.

For example, considering the same interest rate on deposits, who would accumulate wealth faster, the owner of ten thousand in capital or the owner of a hundred million? The result is self-evident.

Yebai originally intended to give his father-in-law a treat, thinking that his father-in-law hadn’t made much money for many years, and now that he had made some, he would buy some gifts for Gu’s mother on his return. Little did he know that this move would end up depressing his father-in-law even more.

Gu Nuan glanced at her husband’s face, which had immediately turned gloomy, and the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curve up.

Her dad was simple, and so was her husband. Two simple men, from worlds apart, sometimes found it hard to connect. Of course, this didn’t stop them from liking each other.

Thinking about his past failures, Xiao Yebai, having learned his lesson, followed his wife to the kitchen and asked quietly, "What happened?"

"Haven’t you thought about how old my dad is? Can he wrap his mind around your methods? Besides, what use is the trick you taught him? Do you expect him to go around buying up all the lottery tickets with your money? First, as you know, his probability of winning big like today is low. It will only make him more disappointed. Second, as he said, the lottery shop workers would fear he came to cause trouble. Third, our family prefers to keep a low profile; do you want him ending up on the news headlines every day?"

Xiao Yebai realized his wife was right, but he had only wanted to make Gu’s father happy, and asked dejectedly, "But didn’t Dad feel happy even after winning all that prize money today?"

It was then that she realized how naive her husband was, to the point she hardly knew what to say.

"Do you think he’s happy just because you gave him money?"

"No, I wanted him to be happy from winning the lottery."

"But he figured out he can’t learn your method. How can he be expected to be happy? The only thing you’ve made him realize is how much money he had thrown away on lottery tickets over the years; it all went into the sea, into other people’s pockets, into the pockets of people like you. To put it bluntly, he feels incredibly foolish."

He made his father-in-law feel utterly foolish? Xiao Yebai opened his mouth, suddenly realizing the seriousness of it.

Gu Nuan looked up, seeing the panicked and helpless expression on this handsome face, and almost couldn’t help but laugh.

He wanted to win over her parents, she knew, but unfortunately, this man, while clever, didn’t excel in this area.

"It’s okay," Gu Nuan said softly, "You’ve seen what my dad is like, quick to anger but quick to forgive. It won’t be long before he realizes it and starts to think well of you again."

Hearing her speak so tenderly, Xiao Yebai felt his whole heart soften and spontaneously kissed her on the forehead, saying, "Nuannuan, it’s all my fault, your dad thinks he’s foolish, but I think I’m the big fool." Googlᴇ search 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍

As Gu’s father passed by the kitchen door, hearing his son-in-law say this to his daughter, the knot in his heart that had formed instantly dissolved.
