Life is like this, you always think that everything is under control, but things often secretly develop in the direction you least expect when you are not paying attention.

Ma Liang didn't want to get married or have children, but Lin Fengyun had different ideas.

He would never have thought that Teacher Feng, who had always been simple and innocent, would actually play tricks and even think of secretly giving birth to a son for him.

Ma Liang really knew nothing, otherwise he would have been so frightened that he would have hid far away.

He hasn't even graduated from college yet, and he's still a year or two short of the legal age for marriage. He can't even think about having a baby now, it's really scary.

On the other hand, Ma Liang had been thinking about it for two days and was planning to eat it, but Zuo You, the girl from his first marriage, also came to him and said goodbye without saying goodbye.

This girl actually went back to her hometown for the summer vacation. She said she wanted to enjoy the last peace and quiet with her family before she became famous again.

I don’t know if she was deliberately looking for excuses to avoid him, but it really made Ma feel cold.

There are no grapes to eat, and life has to go on. After all, the company's affairs are one after another, and it is getting more and more difficult for him to be the boss of the company.

Especially as the subprime mortgage crisis intensified, many investment opportunities had to be grasped by Ma Liang himself.

Not to mention anything else, he has gained a lot just by making money in the U.S. stock market. So far, his investment income in the U.S. stock market has exceeded 500,000 US dollars.

This is also due to Ma Liang's continuous increase in betting capital. Otherwise, with his steady operation, it would be impossible to make big money even if the principal is not enough.

The bets getting bigger and bigger also made Ma Liang play more and more conservatively.

After finally saving up some wealth, he didn't want to be harvested by big capital, so it was better to be safe.

As the days passed, Ma Liang became more and more skilled in playing US stocks.

On this day, he saw the right opportunity again, and based on his memory, he made a heavy bet on shorting before the day when the U.S. stock market might fall slightly.

The more tepid the stock market fluctuates, the safer the investment will be.

On the contrary, when there is a big drop or a big rise, it is very likely that the banker will harvest it accidentally.

Ma Liang has no choice. He can only make money by relying on U.S. stock index futures. Who told him that he was not in finance in his previous life and could not remember the rise and fall trend of a specific company's stock in the U.S. stock market.

He hurriedly bought the stock before the U.S. stock market opened. Thinking that he might make another one or two hundred thousand US dollars in profit the next morning, he felt very excited.

If this could happen every day, he would start a chicken business.

No wonder it is difficult for people who have played too much in finance to start a business. Who would want to suffer the hardships of starting a business if they can make a lot of easy money?

Ma Liang turned off the computer and was just thinking about where to go for dinner tonight when her cell phone rang.

"Come to my house for dinner tonight, Xiaomi passed the TOEFL test!" Yan Bing's voice could be heard trembling on the other end of the phone. It is usually rare to see her so excited.

Ma Liang was very happy after hearing this: "Really, that's great!"

I have to say that this girl Su Xiaomi is indeed very good. She originally prepared for two opportunities to take the TOEFL test in August, but she passed the test the first time. It was really a happy event for everyone.

In this way, there won't be any surprises when studying abroad at Stanford.

"Well, come quickly, let's celebrate Xiaomi as a family." Yan Bing now unconsciously considered him a family member.

Ma Liang happily agreed, but he was worried about what gift to give.

I hesitated over and over again and never thought of what to give, which was really worrying. I couldn’t just wrap up a red envelope and be done with it, that would be too perfunctory.

What's more, as the daughter of a rich woman, Su Xiaomi is not a mistress who is short of money.

I have to say that it is better for the little guy to just make a few dolls and throw them away. Unlike the big girl, people will definitely not be interested in any gifts that can be easily bought with money.

Ma Liang suddenly had an idea and drove straight to the nearby Jade Buddha Temple.

Compared with Jing'an Temple, although the Jade Buddha Temple is not well-known, it is well-known in Shanghai and is said to be very efficacious.

On the first and fifteenth day of every month, countless believers come to worship.

Ma Liang was going to go to the Jade Buddha Temple to ask for an amulet. Even though it was already dark, the temple might have been closed to the public.

But he has money, and once he develops his money skills, there will be no temple in China that he cannot enter.

After a short while, he arrived at the Jade Buddha Temple. Ma Liang spent hundreds of dollars on security, and made a pious donation in the main hall, and then successfully received an amulet consecrated by a master.

With this amulet as a gift, he was finally able to get it, so Ma Liang drove the car and hurried to [Purple Garden].

When he arrived, Sister Bingmei was standing at the door looking around.

"Why are you here?" Yan Bing saw that her little lover had been delayed for a long time and became concerned in a hurry.

Ma Liang explained with a smile: "Xiaomi passed the TOEFL exam and was about to study abroad. Without any preparation, she went to the Jade Buddha Temple to ask for an amulet for her to keep her safe abroad."

"It's okay to go in two days, there's no need to be in such a hurry." Although Yan Bing complained on her lips, she was still very moved in her heart.

She slowly took Ma Liang's hand and gently rubbed it with her fingers a few times, her eyes full of tenderness.

If it weren't for her two daughters, she would have loved to throw herself into the arms of her young lover and enjoy the sweetness of love.

The two entered the house hand in hand, no need to hide anything anymore.

When they arrived at the restaurant, they saw the two sisters Su Xiaomi and Su Xiaomo having fun. The table was already filled with all kinds of delicious dishes, which was particularly rich.

Seeing Ma Liang and Yan Bing walking in hand in hand, Su Xiaomi couldn't help but froze.

However, the awkward expression only flashed past, and she immediately pretended not to care and continued to play with her sister.

She knew in her heart that the deal was done and nothing could be changed.

As long as my mother is happy, nothing else matters.

Su Xiaomi could only bury the inexplicable feelings that were still in the bud and had not had time to grow up, deep in her heart.

Ma Liang took out an exquisite small wooden box from his pocket and handed it to the eldest girl.

"I'm going to study in the United States. You have to pay attention to safety when you go out alone. I asked for an amulet for you at the Temple of the Emerald Buddha, and consider it a gift to you."

Gift-giving is also a matter of personal distinction.

If you want to give it to a friend with poor financial conditions, try to be practical. If you want to give it to a rich friend, be as practical as possible.

The greater the discrepancy between price and value, the more it shows that you are attentive.

Ma Liang's amulet is really expensive, and it can only be enjoyed by the most devout believers in the Temple of the Emerald Buddha.

"Thank you!" Su Xiaomi raised her head and glanced at him, feeling very complicated.

She herself didn't know what kind of feelings she had for the boy in front of her who was only two or three years older than herself. After all, she couldn't explain her situation clearly.

Yan Bing saw her daughter's expression in her eyes and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

In order to ease the embarrassment, she hurriedly said: "Everyone is here, let's have dinner. Today is a happy day. Congratulations to Xiaomi for successfully passing the TOEFL!"

"Congratulations to sister, sister is the best!" The little guy also echoed.

Su Xiaomi also came to her senses, picked up her sister and kissed her to cover up her gaffe: "You are such a clever little girl!"

As a result, the family enjoyed the feast happily, and a celebration cake was served at the end.

Light a candle, pray and make a wish!

After dinner, Ma Liang and Sister Bingmei sat on the sofa in the living room, watching the two girls, one big and one small, having fun.

Yan Bing, in particular, stared at her two daughters intently, her eyes full of doting.

After all, seeing such a scene full of family affection makes one day less. It is now mid-August, and in just over a week, my daughter will leave for the United States.

Seeing that Sister Bingmei's expression was getting more and more sad, Ma Liang thoughtfully held her hand and comforted her.

"The company will be very busy next, not only preparing for fashion week, but also determining the styles for next spring and summer.

I'm afraid I won't be able to send Xiaomi off when she goes to study abroad, and besides, I can't worry about Momo either.

So I can only leave everything to you!" Yan Bing looked at her two daughters with great tenderness and said this slowly.

Ma Liang was shocked when he heard this: "What? Just the two of us?"
