For a large company like Sen Meng, there are plenty of ways to transfer those tens of millions of USD back to the country with minimal losses. It's impossible to directly wipe out two-thirds of it.
Obviously, this is Xu Manning being outrageously bold, ignoring Li Peifeng's previous warnings and still wanting to snatch that money. It's so obvious that Li Peifeng doesn't even need to be intimate to see through Xu Manning's little schemes.
But since he's in the Xu family, Li Peifeng can't say much, especially since Xu Manning hasn't transferred all the money from the card yet. So he's not in a hurry to ask for the card back. Secondly, Mr. Li feels that Miss Xu doesn't genuinely want to snatch the money, but rather wants him to woo her, spoil her, and promise her some satisfying conditions.
"I'll tell you when we get home after dinner."
"What are you talking about? There's only a hundred million left. As I've told you, it's just the handling fee deducted, not my deduction. Hmm… it's the trade tax; the trade tax has increased!"
"Stop talking nonsense!"
At this moment, someone outside called for dinner, and Li Peifeng and Xu Manning walked out of the room.
"You two sit beside your parents. Yes, we saved a spot for you."
The dining room in the villa was very spacious, with two minimalist dining tables. Li Peifeng and his father, Xu Manning's parents, and her grandparents sat at one table, while the other table was for various aunts and uncles.
"Qiyuan, let me fill your glass."
"You're too kind, I can do it myself."
In such occasions, alcohol is naturally a must; Xu Hongfei poured some red wine for Li Qiyuan and then filled up Li Peifeng's glass.
Driving is no excuse; there's a driver to take them home.
Counting the time after the Spring Festival, this was the second official visit Li Peifeng made to the Xu family. Compared to the first time, Xue Ya and Xu Hongfei's attitudes were much more kind and amiable.
In other words, they no longer saw Li Peifeng as an outsider but genuinely treated him as a son-in-law.
Moreover, the attitude of Xu Manning's relatives had subtly changed. He remembered when they first met, Xu Manning's old uncle did not show anything too obvious, but his overall attitude and occasional glances, as well as casually asked questions like "How much money do you make writing books," made Li Peifeng feel that this uncle might not be very satisfied with his income and family.
But in this meeting, the uncle was the most enthusiastic one, his fervor couldn't be stopped even from across the table during dinner; he actively asked Li Peifeng about futures trading and talked about his own trading history.
Miss Xu transferred the money from the Swissquote Bank account to the domestic one through Sen Meng, which surely couldn't be kept from her parents, and Li Peifeng's earnings of 800 million through futures trading were proudly shared by Xu Manning with her family.
The Xu Clan might have discussed this thoroughly before Li Peifeng and his father arrived. Uncle Xu bringing up this topic didn't surprise Li Peifeng so much, as people's attitudes changing is just human nature…
"I've been trading international gold, playing short and mid-term, and recently made a transaction starting last month. I entered at the bottom from 1,700, and now in the morning, it broke 2,000, so I cleared it out."
"Impressive, impressive."
"Just made some small gains, nothing as daring as you, Peifeng. Even a ten times leverage is enough to make my heart race. But I haven't really touched crude oil before, what's your view on its future trend?"
"It's likely to fall back... but how much it will drop, and if it can continue to rise, I'm not sure. I can't make sense of it, so I'm not doing anything."
Xue Ya chimed in: "Not doing it is wise, the financial market is too risky… By the way, Peifeng, your money will probably be in place in a couple of days, then I'll have Manning transfer it to you."
Li Peifeng pondered: "Auntie, is there any trade tax or handling fees to pay?"
"No need." Xue Ya smiled and waved her hand: "Auntie has other channels to bypass those."
You forgot to match the stories again, didn't you?!
Li Peifeng glanced at Xu Manning, his eyebrow raised slightly, the message clear.
And Miss Xu had thick skin too; even when her lie was exposed, she insisted: "Mom, remember to transfer the money to my card first, then I'll transfer it to him."
Everyone present found it somewhat strange, hesitated slightly, then their expressions became amused as they looked at the couple.
Especially Xu Hongfei, he looked at Li Peifeng with a bit of pity, as if they were sharing the same plight…
What are you looking at? Do you think I'm like you?!
Li Peifeng's heart stirred, his expression became unnatural, and he weakly said: "Giving it to Manning works too; it's not like I need the money for anything."
Xu Manning rolled her eyes and lowered her voice irritably: "Don't play pitiful in front of my family."
You really are my daughter!
Xue Ya felt comforted by her daughter's behavior of taking charge of finances before marrying but also embarrassed, given that in addition to family, Peifeng's father was there. This made her a bit uncomfortable.
Xue Ya, after years in business, was very perceptive, seeing Manning 'threatening' Li Peifeng, she pretended to be angry and scolded: "Manning, what are you talking about? This is Peifeng's money. We're just helping transit it, you want to deduct more?"
Li Peifeng was very nervous: "It's nothing, just a few billion. You can give it to her; as long as she gives me 200 in allowance every week, that's enough… if it doesn't work, even 100 would be okay."
Xu Manning was speechless: "What are you saying?"
Xu Hongfei coughed: "Manning, you're taking it too far!"
"I am not, he is just…"
"Enough!"
Xueyan glanced at the always silent Li Qiyuan, speculating whether this scene had angered the other party, so she interrupted her daughter's speech and appeared decisive: "Once the money is transferred, I'll send it to Peifeng. Stop thinking about it. Peifeng, send me your bank card number later."
