Chapter 81

By the time the little cousin returned the kitchen knife and sat down on the sofa, Shi Xuanzhu had already looked the blond man in front of her up and down.

The blond man possessed a striking appearance, and even his hands were slender and well-defined, each line flowing perfectly. His fair skin shone with a gentle glow, and pale blue veins faintly visible beneath the skin, adding a sense of restrained strength to his hands.

But what attracted more attention was the watch that was inadvertently exposed on the man's wrist.

The platinum case, like a frosted blade on a cold night, is both cool and noble, creating a magical spark with the profound mystery of the silver dial. The three sub-dials resemble delicate star trails, while the alligator leather strap adds a touch of casualness.

Shi Xuanzhu often pays attention to the luxury goods industry, so he naturally recognized this watch.

——Patek Philippe 5208P-001 watch.

It not only includes the craftsmanship of a minute repeater, but also has the functions of a single-button timer and an instantaneous perpetual calendar.

This is also a watch that a president has worn in public. It is very expensive, and only top customers can submit purchase applications to the brand.

He still remembers the introduction he saw on the official website.

“The movement in this watch is the pinnacle of mechanical watchmaking. Its internal structure is sophisticated and complex, with numerous parts, but each one has been meticulously polished and adjusted to ensure the movement’s accuracy and stability.”

“The polishing process of the movement is even more breathtaking. The decorative patterns such as Geneva waves and fish scales are clearly visible. It is like a magnificent stage inside the movement. Every component is the protagonist on the stage, and together they interpret the beautiful melody of time.”

The most important thing is that this watch is currently worth RMB 6.4 million.

It was enough to buy two of the most expensive cars he bought just to show off.

But it's not even the most expensive accessory a man can wear.

Shi Xuanzhu shifted her attention to the man's fingers.

On the man's index finger, a custom-made Graff Signature solitaire ring, with its 10-carat square center diamond, shone brightly and dazzled the eye. The simple and refined white gold setting, its smooth lines snaking along his phalanx, perfectly matched the undulations of his joints.

Shi Xuanzhu naturally knew something about this old British brand. Although this brand is relatively young, having only appeared in 1960, it has become a new favorite among many upper-class people.

He subconsciously calculated the price and craftsmanship of the ring in his mind and his eyes widened instantly - this ring alone was more expensive than his house!

This ring is worth at least 40 million! Especially with a square diamond, square diamond rings are always more expensive than other rings. Remember, he bought a villa in the capital, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money!

Even the collar is decorated with a custom-made Boucheron Quatre tie clip, made of 18K rose gold, white gold and yellow gold, and inlaid with padparadscha and diamonds weighing a total of about 10 carats, adding a touch of color to the man's classic and elegant but somewhat dull outfit.

But at this time, Shi Xuanzhu was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and even felt that it was nothing special.

After all, considering the size of the padparadscha as the main stone, it will not exceed three million.

Taking into account the overall production process, the maximum cost is 5 million, which is already the limit.

But Shi Xuanzhu almost slapped himself in the face. All his liquid funds added up did not exceed 5 million.

Moreover, all the stuff this man has on him would cost more than 50 million.

Fortunately, the blond man didn't pay much attention to Shi Xuanzhu's gaze - or rather, he didn't see Shi Xuanzhu at all, his attention was always on the handsome young man opposite.

The eyes are filled with tenderness and tenderness, just like...

Treat like a lover.

Shi Xuanzhu was shocked by his own idea.

But the more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Although Ye Wangxing said he was a widower, who actually knew his situation abroad?

It is also possible to hire someone to act with him and then report the case to the police station.

...Although it is unlikely that Mr. Aldrin would accompany Ye Wangxing in a play, there is indeed no basis for the claim that he is a widower, especially since Ye Wangxing herself did not tell them who her husband is.

Besides, Shi Xuanzhu always had a sense of unreality. After all, among the wealthy people he came into contact with, it was already amazing if their clothes and accessories totaled 10 million. There were not many who could spend 50 million on accessories.

Besides, it looks like this person wears it daily...

Shi Xuanzhu was in a trance, while Song Yun and Song's father and Ye's mother beside him didn't know the total price of the accessories on the man's body, but they knew that all the accessories on his body should be very expensive.

However, my little cousin kept staring at the man in front of her vigilantly.

After all, my cousin didn't want to let the man in at first. It was not until the man spoke English to my cousin, which she couldn't understand, that my cousin reluctantly let him in.

However, the blond man didn't care and just kept staring at the handsome young man. The young man seemed to have gotten used to the man's accessories and behavior. He didn't even look at him and just kept drinking tea.

The two seemed to be confronting each other and were deadlocked for a long time.

It was not until the handsome young man could no longer bear it that he asked impatiently.

"What on earth are you doing here?"

"Because of the group's development direction, we are planning to enter the local market. The original branch will also have to gradually take on more responsibilities. I'm here to take charge of the overall situation."

The blond man said with a smile, and a series of words came out of his mouth, sounding quite serious and normal.

But the handsome young man did not believe the blond man's words. He sneered and said, "Okto, you know what I'm asking."

The blond man remained calm and composed as he smiled and said, "Wang Xing, I'm really just worried about you."

"Are you worried about using illegal means to find out my brother's current home address?"

The handsome young man rudely pierced through the blond man's disguise.

The blond man suddenly changed his tone and said gently but forcefully, "My dear, you know, I have been very restrained, and this is not an illegal method."

Shi Xuanzhu seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand, while Song Yun and Song's parents beside him looked even more confused.

The little cousin, sensing the tension in the conversation between the two, shrank her neck and looked back and forth at them, fearing that they would start arguing in the next second.

but……

Strangely, after the blond man said that, Ye Wangxing just sighed, then rubbed his eyebrows with an expression as if he knew it would be like this.

"Let me see the plan you mentioned."

The young man spoke with a tone of helplessness, and after hearing the young man's words, the blond man's originally strong aura disappeared, and he turned back into his original gentle and harmless big golden retriever.

He took a notebook from his assistant who had been silent like an invisible man, and then sat down next to Ye Wangxing very naturally.

"...Does your company have no printers? Why did you insist on putting the PPT on a notebook for me to see? I remember I mentioned this to you last time, right?"

The young man frowned, but still opened his notebook.

The blond man, however, acted as if he was deaf and had almost zero-distance contact with the young man, and then began to explain the PPT.

Since the blond man spoke in English and spoke at a machine gun-like speed, my little cousin, whose English level was almost that of an elementary school student, was the first to give in and choose to go outside for some fresh air.

It was just the right time to gossip with my parents who were pretending to be busy in the small garden and not involved in this matter.

Song's father and Ye's mother were the second to give in. They were like listening to a foreign language. In order to avoid falling asleep in front of their son-in-law, they chose to go to the kitchen to supervise the nanny.

The nanny who was suddenly supervised and pointed at: ...

Song Yun, on the other hand, understood some of the words because she had good grades before, but she couldn't understand the more professional business terms.

So he and Shi Xuanzhu persisted to the end, but their speaking speed became faster and faster, and the things they talked about became more and more profound, even mixed with some code words.

This made the two of them finally choose to leave the sofa and go to the small living room next to them to start talking about what had happened before.

After this interruption, the two of them calmed down a little, but they still had major differences regarding the variety show and the crew, but fortunately they did not quarrel.

After they reached a temporary consensus on Ye Wangxing's matter, they returned to the living room.

At this time, the relatives had already left, and Song's father and Ye's mother helped to entertain them, and they were not too rude.

The blond man and Ye Wangxing went to the small garden, and the blond man's assistant stayed beside them like a shadow.

By the time Song Yun reached the small garden, the two had just finished their conversation.

"...We'll have a meeting in a few days after I'm settled here to discuss the next matters in detail with the executives. It's also a good opportunity to get to know the other executives."

Ye Wangxing said this seriously, and the blond man next to him naturally did not disagree.

"I will have them greet you with the courtesy of welcoming an emperor."

The blond man said in a very happy tone.

"...That's not necessary. As long as you don't cause me any trouble, it's already the best etiquette."

The young man coldly rejected the blond man.

The blond man immediately had an expression like a kicked puppy.

"I'm just wooing you, darling."

The blond man's tone was pitiful, but he firmly grasped the young man's hand and interlocked their fingers.

Song Yun took a breath and was about to step forward to stop the blond man, but the man said.

"Kaiser has been dead for half a year. You should move on and accept a new relationship."

The blond man's tone was gentle and pitiful, as if he wanted Ye Wangxing to pity him, or as if he was a close friend guiding him to open his heart.

Song Yun paused, not knowing whether to step forward or not. After all...

"That seems to make some sense... but it still depends on Ye Wangxing's opinion."

Song Yun thought about it and turned to look at Ye Wangxing, but happened to see Ye Wangxing shaking off the man's hand.

The handsome young man shook his hands, as if there was something dirty on them. He casually took out a tissue from the paper towel on the table and wiped his palms with a cold expression.

"If all of you hadn't approached me in the name of Kaiser, I might have forgotten him by the time I spent the New Year's holiday in Sognefjord - but who would have thought you would actually track me down there."

The handsome young man frowned, a rare look of disgust on his face.

"God knows when I was watching the aurora, I turned around and saw Chris appear behind me. I almost shouted to the bodyguard to shoot."

The blond man now felt even more aggrieved: "That was his doing. It can't be blamed on us, dear."

The handsome young man just sneered: "You talk as if I didn't see you at the North Pole."

Hearing this, the blond man finally put away the aggrieved expression on his face.

But he was not angry. On the contrary, he took the handsome young man's hand, put it to his face and kissed the back of his hand. Maintaining this posture, he looked at the disgusted expression on the young man's face again and said with a smile.

“It is a great honor to leave a lasting mark in your memory.”

"Um, Wangxing, is it really okay to drive people away like this? What is your relationship with Mr. Octo?"

Song Yun looked at the young man who slammed the door shut with some concern and asked hesitantly.

The young man waved his hands randomly, then picked up the tissue on the table and wiped the back of his hands.

"Don't worry, it's okay. You guys have nothing to do with it. If he dares to attack you for something like this, he'll be truly finished. Besides, he and I are partners, so it's okay."

The young man wiped his hands, took a few deep breaths, and then calmed down and spoke.

His calm demeanor didn't seem like that of a violent young man who had just roughly shoved the laptop into his assistant's hands and pushed the two of them out the door.

Having said this, the young man glanced at Shi Xuanzhu, who seemed a little agitated, and added another sentence.

"Only if you don't approach him and start talking to him."

The young man lowered his voice and said, "——Otherwise, I wouldn't even know how he sold me out."

Shi Xuanzhu was a little unconvinced now, but he still spoke gently.

"Brother, that person shouldn't be as bad as you think. He seems quite gentle and easy to talk to."

The young man ignored Shi Xuanzhu and turned to go upstairs - the nanny had just cleaned up his guest room for tonight.

The young man who walked up the stairs uttered a few words without any context.

"My husband's brother is in Africa and can't come back yet."

Shi Xuanzhu and Song Yun looked at each other. They were a little confused at first, and then their expressions gradually became shocked.

Seeing the young man disappear at the stair door, Shi Xuanzhu spoke hesitantly.

"Could he be saying that...his husband's brother is in Africa and was sent there by that person?"

After that day, Shi Xuanzhu and Song Yun still didn't talk about it with anyone else.

However, Song's father and Ye's mother wanted to take advantage of the evening to have a good talk with their two sons.

Of course, they said it was a heart-to-heart talk, but in fact they just wanted to demonstrate their rights as parents. But unfortunately, neither son wanted to cooperate with them tonight, so Father Song and Mother Ye could only be regretfully sent back to their house by the driver.

However, their two sons slept well. Even early the next morning, Ye Wangxing took the initiative to talk about this matter with Song Yun.

"...I didn't expect that I could sleep well after returning home. When I was abroad, I always had nightmares and couldn't breathe at night."

Ye Wangxing said lightly.

Song Yun was a little worried, but Ye Wangxing waved it off and said, "Don't worry too much. The doctor has checked it out. It's not a big problem. The blood oxygen level is fine. It's probably because of poor sleep quality at night."

These words made Song Yun feel a little relieved. As long as she saw the doctor, it would be fine. She turned around and began to ask about Ye Wangxing's schedule for the day.

"It's nothing. My assistant has already chosen a house for me. I'll go take a look at it later and inspect the company at the same time."

The young man said it lightly. It was Shi Xuanzhu who wanted to build a good relationship with his rich brother-in-law after hearing Ye Wangxing's arrangements for today, but unfortunately he had an announcement today and could not stay at home for long.

So he could only watch Song Yun and Ye Wangxing leave together with regret, while he could only go and run the announcements with great difficulty.

After going out, Song Yun initially wanted to help her brother save face and check the room conditions as a local to prevent her brother from being cheated. However, after arriving at the scene, Song Yun kept her mouth shut.

Although he knew about the large flat near the Second Ring Road and had visited it, his budget at that time was really not enough, so he did not consider it - although the budget is not enough now.

His younger brother had bought a house in a hurry and couldn't pick a good one in China. However, he didn't expect that what appeared in front of him was a beautiful large flat with one unit per floor.

And all of them are decorated floor-to-ceiling bay windows, which are sturdy and durable and also allow you to see the beautiful scenery at a glance.

Fortunately, Song Yun quickly calmed down. After all, he was not new to the world - he lived in a small villa in the capital after all. Then he almost screamed when he heard the price.

"Eight! Eighty million?"

It seemed as if he had stopped talking in time, and just looked at Ye Wangxing with an incredible look. Ye Wangxing gave him a comforting look, and then directly handed the matter over to his assistant.

What Song Yun didn't notice was that although Ye Wangxing looked very cool, his hands were actually trembling slightly.

[Yijiu, in my original world, let alone 80 million, I wouldn't even dare to buy a house worth 1 million...]

Ye Wangxing said with a slightly trembling voice.

[The gold I have saved up till now is not even half of the 80 million.]

Yijiu silently searched for the gold price on his host's side, and then a calm voice sounded.

[Host, you've overestimated. According to the gold price in your area, the gold you've accumulated is worth approximately 20 million.]

[However, your small world's quest funds have already accumulated to 40 million, which is enough to cover half of this price.]

Ye Wangxing: [……]

[19, this is heartbreaking.]

Fortunately, Song Yun did not notice Ye Wangxing's expression, as he was still in a trance.

He watched Ye Wangxing complete the formalities. After Ye Wangxing instructed that a room be reserved for Song Yun, he left the rest of the matters to the assistant team.

Then……

Song Yun was taken by her younger brother to private restaurants that required a certain identity to make reservations, as well as various sanatoriums and entertainment venues.

By the time she returned to the flat with a bunch of skin care products customized for his skin type, it was already dark.

His brother simply threw him into the guest room, washed up, and went to sleep, leaving Song Yun almost mentally corrupted by this luxurious life.

Fortunately, at night, Song Yun lay in the tidied guest room, slowly came to her senses, and finally regained some of her consciousness.

But the next second, a feeling of worry came over me.

Song Yun was a little worried about her husband. Even though she had confirmed that she would not go back tonight, he still had some insomnia on the first night away from him.

"Maybe I shouldn't have said that to him. After all, in this age where traffic is king, participating in variety shows is also a way to increase his fame. Regardless of whether he knows him or not, he just wants to make himself familiar to the audience first."

Song Yun thought about it, and in this late night, a sense of bitterness slowly filled his heart.

"Maybe I was too controlling of him, so I thought he was unreasonable because he didn't listen to me and join the crew to hone his acting skills, but maybe I was the unreasonable one."

Song Yun lay in bed thinking for a long time, sighed, and finally decided to leave the room to see if there was any milk in the study to help her sleep.

...Then he sent a message to Shi Xuanzhu on WeChat to explain that he did not do it on purpose during the day.

However, when he walked out of the room, he found that his brother's door was not closed, revealing a wide gap. He subconsciously looked inside.

In the dim room, the only source of light was the faint moonlight filtering through the gaps in the thick curtains, barely outlining the contours of the room.

The room was empty except for some decorations from the daytime, which were outlined in various strange shapes by the moonlight, making the room look a bit eerie.

Song Yun shuddered subconsciously, thinking that a room that was too big was not a good thing.

On the bed, the handsome young man who was indifferent during the day was sleeping quietly, with an innocent look on his face.

This made Song Yun regain the feeling of watching his younger brother sleep when he was a child. He smiled silently and was about to turn around and leave, but at this moment he suddenly felt that something seemed to be wrong in the room.

- When you look at the master bedroom during the day, is there something so large by the window that it could cast a shadow on the curtains?

This thought suddenly popped into Song Yun's mind, giving him a fright immediately. But when he looked again, the room was quiet again.

Song Yun breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he was overthinking it, so he took a few steps forward. For some unknown reason, he looked back again.

In the angle that was just blocked by the door, something appeared that he had not seen.

——A pale big hand suddenly appeared in the gap between the pictures.

The fingers of this hand are slender and have distinct joints. Even the blue veins are just right, highlighting the strength of the fingers. The nails are neatly trimmed, revealing a cold and hard texture.

It was a very beautiful hand, but when Song Yun saw it, she almost screamed in fright.

The hand was so pale, with a bluish tint.

It's like, it's like...

——Like a dead person’s hand.

And this big hand, as white as if it had just been taken out of an ice cellar, was tightening little by little and slowly pinching the young man's neck.

Song Yun: “…”

“Ahhhhhh!”
