I became a son-in-law in the United States

"I did the math, and after deducting necessary expenses, we can make eight hundred thousand! Eight hundred thousand! Ha!"

At this moment, Gia could no longer hold back. She jumped up and threw herself into Luther's arms. Their bodies were separated by only two thin layers of gauze, and they could smell each other's scent.

However, Jia didn't shy away at all; she had already completely accepted him in her heart.

She didn't care if his hand was around her waist, or if his hand accidentally touched her sensitive areas.

Since we're already married, it all belongs to him, doesn't it?

The fall didn't happen during the candlelight dinner, nor in the church; it happened in these unnoticed details.

Now, even if she were asked to hand herself over immediately, she wouldn't object.

Looking back on all the reluctance I felt in the church, I realize how naive I was!

Despite her excitement, Jia became more talkative in order to emphasize the importance of the money.

"My father, the famous Joseph Kennedy Sr., earned at most $30 a year, and most of the time it was less than half of that amount."

"My mother, the daughter of the famous former mayor of Boston, lived off the family trust and annuity, earning at most $80,000 a year."

"And you, my Luther, we made 800,000 from this deal. Even if we split it, that's 400,000. Do you know what that means?"

Gia blinked, her face both gentle and "greedy," and gave Luther a playful smile.

"What does that mean?" Luther asked.

"This means that you earned in less than a month what my father earned in almost three years. You are a man blessed by fate, Luther."

"I would rather be blessed by you than by fate."

Luther did say something true.

As a Chinese, he was raised with materialism and naturally did not believe in fate.

Human will can conquer nature; anything is possible with human effort—this is the true essence of Luther.

When doing something, you should give it your all. That way, even if you fail, you won't regret it, and you can say with a clear conscience, "I did my best!"

The next moment, Jia smiled gently, then lifted her skirt, tiptoed, and walked over quietly.

Through a warm breeze, the fragrance of her skin and hair gradually spread in the sunlight, like a drop of water slowly rippling out.

Finally, she came to Luther, gently hugged him, and pressed her face against his forehead.

"Of course I'll bless you, Luther. Who else could I bless? I'm such a fool..."

Luther looked up and gently put his arm around her waist. Since it was his first time, he didn't have much experience and ended up touching her buttocks.

She had the typical beautiful figure, with a slim waist but a good bust and hips. So much so that when she was in school at Wellesley, Gia tried to wear loose clothes to avoid people noticing her sexy figure.

In a place like Wellesley, being sexy isn't a good thing; it's something to be laughed at.

However, in front of Luther, Gia didn't need to care about so much, even if he deliberately touched her butt.

"No, I'm sorry," Luther apologized.

"It's okay..." Jia's breathing became rapid.

"But Gia, why do you suddenly seem like a different person? I remember you weren't like this with me before..." Luther asked knowingly.

Luther recalled the scenes of their wedding night, when Gia turned her back to him, spoke harsh and cruel words, and then hurriedly left.

Although it was just a marriage in name only, it must be admitted that her actions were still embarrassing.

Although the two got along better afterward, the initial estrangement did not disappear.

"So," Jia laughed awkwardly, looking at Luther, "that's why I said I'm a fool."

"I've always pursued happiness since I was little, I longed for it so much. I studied hard and worked hard to earn money, wanting to leave this home as soon as possible, to find my happiness like the heroine in the movie, but little did I know that happiness was right beside me..."

Luther nodded outwardly, but inwardly he did not believe Gia's words.

He has experienced war and the coldness of human relationships, and can be said to have tasted the full spectrum of human nature.

It's not uncommon for a down-on-his-luck husband to suddenly become rich or rise to a high position, causing his former wife to change her mind and beg for forgiveness.

There are too few people in this world who are kind and righteous; sometimes you may not meet even one in your whole life.

Can you believe someone who tells you to their face that they are loyal and righteous?

For Luther, he could only believe half of it.

Even Gia is probably no exception.

Women all admire heroes, talented individuals, and those who have achieved great success. This wouldn't have surprised Luther when he was a teenager.

That is why Luther remained unmoved when Gia's attitude towards him changed and she even showed some attachment to him.

Life is just a play, don't take it too seriously, or you'll lose.

The right approach is to immerse yourself in the role, play it well, and leave no room for criticism.

Anyway, after this incident, the two became much closer, and they even held hands when they went out, just like a married couple.

As for the last thing, Gia wasn't opposed to it, but as a Catholic, she wanted a sense of ritual, preferably something sacred.

Luther thought of the hot spring trip, his female boss on a rainy night, and his childhood sweetheart back home who had just gotten divorced...

In any case, he will definitely create a sense of ceremony to fulfill Jia's little expectation deep in her heart.

Of course, while these things were progressing smoothly, other things were also going well.

Although I made 80 this time, it's a different story when it comes to actually using it.

First, if you want to withdraw the money and use it directly, under current US law, you would need to pay a tax of 25% or more, up to 73%, which would be disastrous.

Giya was unwilling to hand over a large sum of money to the government before the money had even been used.

But there is another way that not only reduces or eliminates tax payments but also positively impacts box office revenue: continued investment.

By converting the profits into equipment and other assets and reinvesting them in the company, you can essentially avoid paying taxes.

Therefore, after a brief discussion, the two decided to withdraw only a small portion of the cash and continue to invest the rest in the company's operations.

After all, sound movies are just around the corner, and companies like those that make box office films need better cameras, better sound recorders, and even more expensive studios to build for better shooting effects.

It was rare that Gia was willing to continue investing in and jointly run their business, which Luther was happy to accept.

If a couple wants their relationship to last, they should either get a dog together or make a movie together.
