Chapter 667: Chapter 667: Fainting

Yue Jiannan came and went like the wind, leaving as soon as he had filled in his form.

No sooner had he left than Gui Yi approached the counter.

The trader touched his nose and, while hardly anyone noticed, handed the form to Gui Yi.

Looking at the form, Gui Yi couldn’t help but feel greedy.

If he invested all his assets, based on the last growth, he could make a 50% profit instantly.

Recalling Yue Jiannan’s previous two transactions, Gui Yi steeled his resolve and filled in the numbers.

The trader was shocked when he saw it. “You didn’t make a mistake?”

That was a lot to invest.

Gui Yi gritted his teeth. “No mistake.”

The trader took the bank card, thinking Gui Yi was indeed making a great sacrifice.

Gui Yi had steeled himself indeed, having lost money in a “black swan” event before, which caused his account funds to plummet, making every organ in his body ache.

How else would he have gone to such lengths to hassle Lin Yushan?

This time, he was determined to break even, having invested virtually all his capital.

The trader reminded Gui Yi, “The stock market is risky, please be cautious, I’m going to put it up for you now.”

He had heard about Gui Yi’s previous outburst when the stocks fell and confirmed it several times.

Gui Yi said impatiently, “I know, why do you talk so much?”

The trader pursed his lips and entered the codes.

At Lingguang No.1 Middle School, Yue Jiannan dropped his niece at the school gate.

“I think he’ll definitely take the bait this time!”

Yue Jiannan bought even less this time but spread it more broadly, determined to completely trap Gui Yi.

Had it been just one stock, Gui Yi might not have dared to invest so much.

But with the number increasing, Gui Yi also harbored some luck, thinking that even if some fell, there would definitely be some that would rise, thinking his eggs weren’t all in one basket.

Little did he know, all those eggs were rotten, none capable of breaking even.

Yue Jiannan had thoroughly trapped Gui Yi, feeling quite relieved afterward.

Then he suddenly remembered something.

“He might take it out on your aunt after losing out.”

Gui Yi was very despicable, capable of any trick.

Yue Jiannan feared the repercussions might affect his wife. “If it really comes down to it, I’ll ask your aunt to resign. We’ll find a way to get her a different job.”

Even if recommendation letters were hard to get, Yue Jiannan felt there were more solutions than problems.

After all, he couldn’t allow Lin Yushan to be manipulated by such a scoundrel any longer.

Yue Qingqing just smiled. “Don’t worry, Gui Yi is like a grasshopper in autumn, he won’t be bouncing for much longer.”

Yue Jiannan’s eyes immediately brightened. “Really?”

If there was a way, he didn’t want his wife to resign. Yue Jiannan wasn’t the type to keep his spouse just cooking and warming beds at home after marriage.

Yushan was intelligent and capable, her achievements in her career second to none.

The unit she chose was also one she liked; it was just unfortunate to encounter someone as moronic as Gui Yi.

With his niece’s confidence, Yue Jiannan felt reassured and suddenly burst out laughing.

“I want to see just how that rascal will suffer!”

Gui Yi had no idea his misfortune would arrive so abruptly.

The next day, most of the stocks he bought had fallen, but the situation wasn’t severe, appearing only slightly down with potential to rise at any moment.

At that point, Gui Yi bit his lips hard, steeled himself, and incredibly placed even more bets.

The shock he received from Yue Jiannan before had severely exacerbated his gambling mindset.

Feeling he had a flush in hand, he was just missing the turn of a card.

However, over the next few days, the stocks continued to drop, bleak like the rainy season.

Scattered and never-ending, it was impossible to see the end.

Cutting meat with a dull knife was the most painful; Gui Yi developed blisters all over his mouth, became anxious, and even stopped going to his office.

He spent his days squatting at the stock exchange.

Finally, on the day Gui Yi resolved to sell,

suddenly the market seemingly heard some rumors and plummeted across the board.

The drop that day turned out to be the lowest of the year.

Looking at the overwhelming green, Gui Yi fainted on the spot.

His head hit the floor with a dull thud.
