Chapter 5 Who gave me the unordered, yet expecting delivery message?

5

The incident that happened tonight naturally wouldn't reach Ning Ye's ears.

But as the night passed, when she opened her eyes, she suddenly realized something.

So what if Bian Xun receives the things he bought with the future black card?

First of all, the items she buys with her card won't appear in his possession immediately. It's very likely that they will suddenly refresh after a couple of days, and it's uncertain how or where they will appear.

And most importantly.

He doesn't know who bought it?

Can't we just consider it a gift from God?

No order placed yet, looking forward to receiving the goods :)

Isn't this a form of protection for his consumer rights?

Ning Ye felt greatly relieved. Thinking of his arrogant and mocking manner in the closed bathroom yesterday, she decided to maximize his wealth.

So, on a leisurely holiday morning, Ning Ye lay in bed until nine o'clock, slowly browsing Taobao and making a long list.

After moving, there are so many things to buy.

Online shopping was very popular when they were in school. Even though the school's delivery point was off-campus, everyone would enthusiastically make plans to pick up their packages together.

But Bian Xun never did.

He couldn't understand why he had to repeatedly compare photos from the numerous online listings, and why the goods often didn't match the description, the wrong size was chosen, and he had to return the goods after receiving them.

Those rich dogs can't understand the joy of online shopping.

Ning Ye browsed around on Taobao, looking at a bunch of things she and her child needed for daily life, as well as many things that her child would need to buy for kindergarten.

This feeling of not having to consider prices quickly made her lose herself in the sea of ​​marketing. She picked out a bunch of autumn and winter clothes for her child, and even chose three different kinds of children's backpacks. When her shopping cart was already overflowing, Ning Ye tried selecting all of them.

Goodness, the total is 65608.12.

However, this is still nothing to that capitalist's black card.

The temptation of clearing the shopping cart with one click made her reach out her finger, but Ning Ye suddenly remembered something and stopped.

"Mommy?" Ning Zhitao had just woken up when a soft yawn sounded from behind her. The child peeked out with his chubby little hands, looking down at what she was playing with. "Why don't you empty this car?"

Ning Zhitao had seen this page before; she knew it was called a shopping cart!

Dad will help Mom clear everything out of the page, and then the page will be completely clean with nothing left.

Ning Ye's expression turned serious as she patiently explained to the child, "Because in a few days, a mysterious and ancient ceremony will begin pre-sales. Tao Tao, do you know addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division?"

Ning Zhitao's innocent round eyes filled with respect, and she immediately raised her hand, "Mom, I know how to do subtraction."

"You're so clever," Ning Ye couldn't help but pinch her round, smooth cheek. "I'll make it lose weight for you later."

Aside from the essential items for now, save the rest for Singles' Day.

One-click data clearing is great, but it's not so great if you pay too much for it!

Ning Ye gently stroked the child's soft, limp hair. Remembering that today was the Mid-Autumn Festival and they were moving to their new home that evening, a warm joy welled up in her heart.

"Get up!"

Her current rented room only has one bed, and the child has been sleeping with her for the past few days since arriving. The little one sleeps quietly, but makes quite a bit of noise, often rolling from one end to the other in the middle of the night, finally snuggling up warmly next to her.

Once they move to Xia Lu Community, they will each have their own bed.

Ning Ye first sealed Bian Xun's sample and sent it to the testing center. Presumably, considering the user's privacy, payment could be made online.

She was originally going to use Bian Xun's card, but she suddenly realized that if this thing also randomly appeared with Bian Xun, that would be terrible.

So she paid the money herself first, intending to use his card to pay for Lalamove's moving service.

Although it was mostly her luggage that was being moved, there was still a child's belongings to take, so it wasn't unreasonable for him to pay for it.

The two houses are quite far apart. She checked online and the basic moving fee was 583 yuan. In the end, additional fees would be calculated based on the actual distance between the truck parking point and the unit door, and the distance from the elevator to the apartment door.

She had already asked the real estate agent to find a new tenant for the small rental apartment, and if that failed, a penalty would be deducted from her deposit. But whether it was the money that gave her confidence or the joy of starting a new life, Ning Ye didn't feel anything was wrong.

Ning Ye placed an order with Lalamove. The mother and daughter ate a quick meal and then began packing in earnest.

The little girl was actually quite reluctant to leave. Although she only stayed for three days, it had already become her home.

Actually, if she were with her father, they could live in a bigger and better house. Although Ning Ye's new home is much better, it's still rented, and strictly speaking, it's not their home.

But seeing Ning Zhitao touching this and that, reluctantly recording the house she had lived in for three days with her eyes, Ning Ye understood.

That's not how children see it. For them, home is right next to their mother.

Because she was trying so hard to help Ning Ye move things, the adorable little girl quickly got several handfuls of dust on herself. Strangely enough, even though she looked dirty, the thought that she was her own child made her look rather amusing.

Ning Ye couldn't help but take out her phone.

Ning Ye had heard before that once people have children, their social media feeds are full of pictures of their kids, but she never really connected with that and found it all quite strange. Now, she actually finds herself instinctively taking out her phone to take pictures of her child.

With her lively and beautiful features and chubby little body, it's amazing that she gave birth to such a lovely little person.

And she saw it without experiencing any pain.

A hint of a smile appeared in Ning Ye's eyes.

Although the reason why Ning Zhitao appeared in this time and space is still unknown, it is also impossible to predict what kind of chain reaction it will bring in the future.

But now that the child has appeared, she will try her best to take responsibility for it.

Just like how she has taken responsibility for her life time and time again.

...

By evening, Ning Ye had packed all her belongings. Since it was a rented apartment, she didn't have many large pieces of furniture or appliances, and a small truck was enough to carry them all.

The passenger seat unfolded to reveal two seats. She took Ning Zhitao into the car, and they drove together to their new home.

The closer you get to the Xia Lu residential area, the closer you get to the city center. The city is bustling with traffic, and neon lights intertwine to form lines. On the billboards that fly by, popular celebrities display their expensive looks.

Ning Ye wasn't a fan of celebrities; she just glanced at the billboards. But for some reason, her gaze seemed fixed on one particular star, uncontrollably drawn to them, as if by some external force. She saw billboards for this star quite a few times along the way, and each time her attention was forcibly drawn to them.

And the same lines from the previous scene reappeared in my mind.

"The story begins when that woman moved to a place very close to Bian Xun, taking his child with her..."

Who is she talking about? Herself...?

Perhaps it was because she had been too exhausted from tidying up all day, Ning Ye, holding her daughter beside her, entered a semi-conscious state and began to see some images.

She saw a very elegant, busty woman, radiant with starlight, whose appearance was inexplicably familiar. Ning Ye subconsciously came to her senses and realized that this was the actress she had seen when she passed by the billboard earlier.

Her name is Xu Lanyi. She is the eldest daughter of the wealthy Xu family in Beijing. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she has also achieved great success in her career. Just this year, she won the Best Actress award. She can be said to be a winner in life.

In the scene Ning Ye saw, there was a very mischievous little boy beside her, who had always claimed to be single, screaming for his mother. The child looked to be about the same age as Tao Tao.

Xu Lanyi looked at the boy gently, "You're going to have a little sister soon."

Ning Ye suddenly realized something.

The scene shifts, the little boy is gone, and Xu Yinghou is seen gracefully walking towards a quaint and secluded mansion.

The courtyard house had a very old-fashioned style, exuding the atmosphere of a wealthy family from the old days. For some reason, Ning Ye felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it before.

She watched as Xu Yinghou pushed open the vermilion gate and saw her look up with great anticipation.

And in the distance, deep within a courtyard house, stood a refined-looking man under the eaves—it looked like he was searching for that dog, didn't it?

…

Under the cover of night.

The Maybach slowly drove into the narrow alley.

"Mr. Bian, we've arrived," Assistant Zhang said in a low voice as he turned around.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day for family reunion.

The boss was summoned back to the Bian family's old house, but he didn't arrive until nightfall.

The timing clearly indicates that she doesn't want to have dinner with her family or catch up with old friends; it's quite deliberate.

The Bian family's residence is a hidden gem in the city, located deep in a quiet alley within the Second Ring Road. The outer gate looks unremarkable and unassuming, but once you go inside, you'll discover what a sight it is.

The car door opened, and a man's pale face appeared in the night as he walked slenderly through the gate.

The screen wall is carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the courtyard is simple and solemn. Red lanterns hang at the four corners, but instead of exuding a festive and warm atmosphere, they reveal a quiet and serene Chinese style. Passing through the first hall, one then enters a corridor lush with vegetation.

Bian Xun's leather shoes trod on the finely paved bluestone path, leading him to the most spacious and bright main house.

The family banquet at the Bian family's house had all ended when this person arrived, bringing with him the cool night breeze.

They came empty-handed.

As soon as Bian Xun entered the hall, the hushed conversation ceased. A servant approached respectfully with a warm teacup, urging the young master to cleanse his mouth.

He really hates these kinds of rules.

He walked around expressionlessly, ignoring the seating arrangement, and randomly found a carved wooden chair to sit down.

A deep, elderly voice rang out from the head of the table, echoing through the brightly lit hall, "—Where are your rules?"

He chuckled to himself.

Seeing the old man's attitude, the elders who were in the hall just now began to make excuses to leave, leaving only Bian Xun's cousin Bian Yang sitting there, frantically giving Bian Xun meaningful glances.

But the man's long, droopy eyes ignored him completely.

Old Master Bian's gaze was stern. "Do you think that just because you've taken control of the group, you can disrespect your elders? Don't you know how to come home for a holiday like Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"They seem quite enthusiastic about killing their own family members outside!"

News of Bian Ziwen's situation had already reached the Bian family. Among the elders who had just fled was Bian Ziwen's own father, who had come tonight to beg the old man to get him released, but dared not say it in front of Bian Xun.

Bian Xun's features were aloof and his eyes held a hint of laziness. He leaned back slightly, his slender frame showing no sign of comfort in the wooden chair; only "refined" people like them would insist on sitting in it.

"Why did you insist on bringing me back today?" he asked slowly and deliberately.

Bian Yang looked at his older brother with a mixture of shock and envy. This is how lawless people become after successfully seizing power! His older brother is too awesome!

Just like Grandpa now, even though he's furious, he can't really do anything to his older brother. After all, Bian Xun caught his uncle abusing illegal drugs, his second aunt suspected of running a nightclub, and his uncle who was dishonest and a gambler. He thoroughly exposed everyone's most secret weaknesses, crushing them one by one in a bloody manner.

In this generation of the Bian family, there is only one Bian Xun left.

Old Master Bian's chest heaved with anger, but he didn't continue. He drank several sips of tea before getting to the point, "Now that you've managed such a large business, you're of age and it's time to settle down and start a family."

Bian Xun's lips curled into a cold smile.

He was well aware of the unspoken meanings and implications within this family.

If Grandpa Bian says that, it means that someone has already found him a partner, and he'll probably meet them tonight.

Sure enough, Old Master Bian said leisurely, "The Xu family has been on good terms with us for generations. Their eldest daughter has always been busy with her career, which has delayed her love life. She's also getting older, two years older than you. But you should have met her. I've even heard that she's quite famous outside and has many fans."

"The person will be here soon. Let's meet and see each other tonight. If it's a good match, then you can make a reservation."

Bian Xun did not speak.

After a long pause, he let out a clear laugh.

"Don't think I don't know! There's that girl in your company..."

…

On the other side, at the entrance of Xia Lu residential area, Ning Ye had just gotten off Lalamove.

The nonsensical plot points left her bewildered, so she simply put them aside for the time being.

The mover measured the distance from the garage door to the unit door. He was originally going to calculate the price strictly per meter, but when he looked down and saw how adorable the family's little daughter was, he decided not to be so strict and just added 100 yuan to the total.

Ning Ye thanked them, and after all the luggage was unloaded into their new house, she paid the basic shipping fee of 583 yuan on the mini-program, and then transferred another 100 yuan to the movers separately.

Of course, they all use edge-searching cards!

Those images gave her a vague sense of unease, as if... the changes that had occurred since her daughter's time travel were only now truly beginning to happen.

Ning Ye couldn't help but start to examine the black card the child had brought seriously, and upon closer inspection, she discovered some details that she hadn't noticed before.

At the bottom of the dazzling payment page of the black card, there is a small string of numbers. When paying the basic shipping fee, the page says "*1000". What, a thousand?

She scrolled back further and found that it was also available when she bought milk and thinking skills classes, but it was labeled "*10000".

It seemed to be a random number, with varying numbers of zeros. When she flipped back to the page where she paid Master Fu 100 yuan, it was marked as *10000.

What does this mean?

What other secrets does her ex-boyfriend's black card hold that she doesn't know about?

She found it unbelievable, and suddenly, for some reason, she sneezed.

"You've been separated from that child for so many years, you don't still have feelings for her, do you? In the beginning, she was the one who wanted to separate from you."

The main hall of the Bian residence.

Old Master Bian looked coldly at Bian Xun, trying to find some trace of old affection on his face.

You're overthinking it.

The young leader's expression remained unchanged, his cool voice magnetic, his eyes blank, "...How could I possibly?"

But that doesn't mean he'll accept other women.

Grandpa Bian let out a satisfied hum through his nose.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Bian Yang mustered up the courage to step forward and ease the tension, "Yeah, I remember too. I heard that your girlfriend in college took your money and left?"

Bian Xun's dark eyes narrowed, devoid of warmth. "Really? How much money did you take?"

After receiving the money, I still lived a life of taking the subway, carrying a canvas bag, and renting a remote house. Despite having such good grades, I didn't dare to pursue further education after graduation. Instead, I squeezed into a large company and worked diligently for two years, receiving an A in performance every year, before I had the opportunity to transfer to headquarters.

Her poverty made him very uncomfortable.

Bian Yang only had a vague impression, "Five hundred thousand, I guess...?"

Bian Xun lowered his eyes dejectedly, preparing to get up and leave, when a bank statement popped up on his phone: 583,000.

When Bian Yang saw his brother's expression suddenly turn inscrutable, he immediately cowered and mumbled softly, "No, no, it's not that little. It should be 1 million."

Just as Bian Xun was about to turn off his phone, a new bill popped up at the top: 100,000.

One million.

"..."

Bian Xun finally raised his head expressionlessly, his black hair pressing down on his brow bone, his tone flat.

"Did his mother take that money from my account?"
