Chapter 2418

Watching his son-in-law's nervous and eager appearance, Li Yalin suddenly felt that this world was somewhat magical.

Originally, he admired his son-in-law, always feeling that this kid had a spirit that couldn't be crushed, wasn't afraid of poverty, and wouldn't admit defeat or bow his head.

To put it without exaggeration, he felt that his son-in-law was very similar to himself, even having a bit of his own shadow.

It was precisely because of this, and because Li Yalin had no son of his own, that he sincerely treated this son-in-law like a son.

But the son-in-law's performance at this moment made him realize that he, a detective who had seen countless people, had a one-sided, wrong, and naive view of his own son-in-law.

He used to think he had the noble character of "not being corrupted by wealth," but now it seems that he just had a high starting point for being "corrupted."

And this starting point, in the past, neither he nor his son-in-law could reach at all.

It's like, if a person has never been to a high place, they can never know if they are afraid of heights.

Some people shout on flat ground that they are not afraid of anything, but they might be scared to the point of weak legs at a certain height.

At this moment, Li Yalin suddenly felt a bit of contempt for him.

However, upon second thought, he felt, wasn't he the same?

Although money didn't move him, in the matter of so-called surname and bloodline inheritance, was he not moved?

Both he and his son-in-law had deviated from their own lofty ideals; it's just that one knelt before money, and the other knelt before inheritance.

Sun Hui didn't know what Li Yalin was thinking, only seeing his expression turn cloudy and then sunny, he couldn't help but feel a bit worried, and couldn't help but say: "Dad, whether it works or not, give us an answer!"

Li Yalin hesitated for a moment, sighed long, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, let's do as you say!"

"Really?!"

The daughter and son-in-law asked in surprise almost at the same time.

Li Yalin nodded heavily and said: "This is a token of your Grandpa An's heart, but this token is indeed too heavy. In the future, I will find a way to pay it back slowly!"

"Great!" Daughter Li Yuanyuan cheered, and the son-in-law also clenched his fists in excitement.

Immediately after, the two rushed over excitedly, hugging Li Yalin from left and right. The excited expression was beyond words.

It was Li Yalin's wife, Chen Jin Jun Mei, whose expression had not changed from beginning to end.

At this time, Li Yalin's daughter suddenly remembered something and asked: "Dad... then... what are you planning to do with the 10 million given by Ms. Fei...?"

As soon as Li Yuanyuan said this, Sun Hui on the side also immediately looked at Li Yalin and subconsciously blurted out: "Yes, Dad, do you have a plan for this 10 million now?"

For this young couple, the 100 million USD promised by the An family had to be placed in a family trust, and the trust had to wait until their first child turned 18 before it could be conditionally unlocked.

That is to say, even if Li Yalin had agreed, they now had to guard the mountain of gold of 100 million USD for eighteen years before they could achieve a huge class leap.

Not to mention luxury houses, luxury cars, and the extravagant upper-class lifestyle, all of it had to wait eighteen years.

If you count the eight months until the child's due date, it's basically waiting 19 years.

However, the 10 million USD check given by Fei Kexin was different. This was not a family trust with conditions, but a real cash check.

As long as you take this check to any bank in the United States, you can exchange it for 10 million USD in cash.

Li Yalin couldn't help but say when they asked about this 10 million: "Actually, my original idea was to put this money into a trust, but the trust I checked didn't have an annualized return as high as 8%. I calculated it based on an annualized return of about 3.8%. After eighteen years, it would be about 20 million. Then, starting from the nineteenth year, we can take out the interest every year, part for the child's education fund, part for the child's living allowance. After the child gets married, we can withdraw 1 million USD at once. If you have more than two children, then split 2 million USD, and the rest will continue to be placed in the trust..."

Li Yalin said this, and daughter Li Yuanyuan hurriedly said: "Dad... you can't put this money into a trust anymore... If that's the case, we put all the money away and can only withdraw it after 18 years. Then from now on, for the next eighteen years, we still have many uncertain factors. For example, if you move to Houston to live with us in the future, plus the house for our family after the child is born, we always have to change to a bigger one. Sun Hui and I don't have to live in the apartment in the city center. We can come and live with you. In this way, you can also help us take care of the children. And if there are more children, the family might need to hire a nanny and add various hardware. There are still many places where money is needed..."

Li Yalin looked at his daughter and asked her: "Yuanyuan, then what is your arrangement for this 10 million?"

Li Yuanyuan thought for a while and said: "Dad, this is what I think. Let's first take 1 million USD to change to a house. We can change to a villa that is closer to the city center, bigger, newer, and better. Then upgrade other hardware in the home, such as food, clothing, housing, transportation, cars, and home appliances. As for the rest, let's put it in more flexible wealth management first. If needed, we can withdraw it at any time."

Sun Hui also couldn't help but echo: "Yes, Dad, I think this is more flexible. With this money as support, we can choose a better private hospital for Yuanyuan to give birth, so that her prenatal check-ups during pregnancy can also be more comfortable and convenient."

Li Yalin hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said: "How about this, according to what you said, 1 million USD to buy a house, 500,000 USD to upgrade various household needs, and take out another 500,000 USD as a flexible reserve fund. As for the remaining 8 million, let your mother manage it all. The three of us don't count for the specific arrangements; your mother has the final say."

Li Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask: "Dad, you only took out 2 million in total, isn't it a bit less... How about taking out 3 million first..."

Li Yalin waved his hand: "My mind is made up, let's do it this way first. If you have any other places to use money later, go and apply to your mother."

As he spoke, he looked at his wife Chen Jin Jun Mei and asked her: "Jin Jun Mei, do you think this is okay?"

Chen Jin Jun Mei was slightly stunned, then came back to her senses and smiled: "Old Li, if you ask me, don't give this money to me either. Isn't it 8 million in total? Just put it in a trust too, but make a short-term trust. Starting from now, for the next eighteen years, take out one-eighteenth every year until it's all taken out after eighteen years. As for how to spend the money taken out, the two of us have the final say."

Li Yalin couldn't help but be a bit stunned, but soon understood that his wife had also discovered that the children valued money a bit too much and didn't want to be the one managing the money directly.

So, he sighed softly and said: "Okay, let's do it this way."

As he spoke, he said: "Oh, by the way, let's buy the house as soon as possible. I'm going out of town in a few days. I promised to help the old master and Ms. Fei do some things."

Chen Jin Jun Mei hurriedly asked: "What is it? Is it dangerous?"

Li Yalin smiled: "Don't worry, it's just investigating some things, nothing dangerous. You know the old master has a grandson who hasn't been found yet. He wants me to help find him again. It's just finding someone, no risk."

Chen Jin Jun Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at her daughter and son-in-law who were already uncontrollably excited and kept winking at each other, she sighed silently, stood up and said: "Okay, Old Li, it's getting late. Let the children go back first, and let's rest early too."

The daughter and son-in-law didn't think much about it, and since the two of them had many private words to say, they agreed without hesitation. After saying goodbye, they hurriedly drove back to their apartment in the city center.

After sending off the happy daughter and son-in-law, Chen Jin Jun Mei saw that Li Yalin was a bit distracted and lonely, so she couldn't help but ask softly: "What's wrong? Disappointed?"

Li Yalin gave a wry smile: "A little bit... a little disappointed, but I feel I can understand it, so I'm quite conflicted."

Chen Jin Jun Mei nodded and said seriously: "Old Li, never test human nature. Human nature is like this real world, small to the point of dust, large to the point of the universe."

Speaking of this, she changed the subject and said seriously: "However, even the universe has boundaries!"
