I had long known about the subtle changes in stock prices.
I received a phone call from a friend, who delivered some bad news about one of his investment projects encountering problems.
I responded helplessly, “What can we do? We’ll just have to wait and see. If things go badly, we’ll have to consider adjusting the strategy.”
After hanging up, just as I was about to continue discussing the stock market dynamics with Jason, Rick had somehow approached, speaking with a hint of smugness, “You didn’t believe me back then, huh? Now look, you’ve probably lost quite a bit.”
He clearly misunderstood the phone call I had just taken.
“Yeah, I really regret it. You must have made a lot of money this time, I envy you,” I responded, pretending to be regretful.
Rick became even more smug, and Judith, who was beside him, raised her head proudly, bragging, “Of course, we can buy another car now.”
bragging, “Of course, we can buy another car now.”
I secretly speculated that, given the stocks they bought before, while some had risen and some had fallen, the profits wouldn’t be this large. It seemed they must have added more investments later.
“Stock prices go up and down. Who knows, they might rise again someday. It’s no big deal.” Jason and I played along with this unsaid “drama.”
“But this time, I really lost a lot. I’m not even left with enough capital.” I sighed.
On the big screen of the stock exchange, colorful numbers and charts intertwined, playing the latest news from the financial channel.
“The real estate industry, which had long been in a slump, has finally welcomed its bull market after enduring a long winter. Many related stocks have soared, like butterflies emerging from cocoons, achieving significant profits. However, the market is always volatile. Yesterday, a sudden large withdrawal of funds from the stock market led to a sharp fluctuation in stock prices, causing a steep decline. As for the future, whether these stock prices can regain their upward momentum and continue to rise, we will just have to wait and see.”
I stood in a corner of the bustling trading hall, pretending to be relieved. “Luckily, I withdrew early, or I would have lost my capital.”

“Do you want me to lend you some? Beg me, and I might spare you a little,” Rick mocked.
“Don’t gloat, be careful, you might end up falling into the same stock market trap,” I warned.
“You’re really ungrateful, aren’t you? Don’t worry. I’ll make the right decisions.” Rick dismissed my words nonchalantly.
“Why haven’t we seen Helen?” I pretended to show concern.
“She… this place is crowded, so she’s staying home resting.” Rick hesitated, clearly uncomfortable discussing this topic, as if hiding something.
It seemed their relationship had cracked.
“We don’t need your concern.” Judith walked forward and stood between us.
“I’m just asking. Why are you so worked up? Did you two break up?” I responded, deliberately trying to provoke her. “I was thinking you’d get married.”
Judith furrowed her brows and said to Rick, “Tch, you’re such a worry.”
Rick pulled Judith away. “Mom, you don’t know anything. Let’s not say anything more.”
After they left, I smiled at Jason and said, “Your acting skills are getting better and better.”
“Thanks to you, my good partner.”
We looked at each other and smiled.
