Chapter 6: A melodramatic story – quickly swipe his card to calm down.

6

Looking at his older brother's expression, Bian Yang suspected he had said something wrong and trembled with fear.

But Bian Xun ignored him.

These past few days, first there was a strange inflation in the payment currency, then a series of undocumented bills appeared without any clear destination, and yesterday children's course books inexplicably appeared.

One after another, without any pattern or order.

Bian Xun rubbed his temples. The bill was sent directly to Assistant Zhang and handed over to the technical department for tracking.

The amount of money wasn't huge; it was just small amounts, around a few hundred thousand or a million each time. But if the other party truly had control over his assets, they wouldn't be focusing on just that.

For some reason, Bian Xun suddenly thought of Ning Ye.

While they were together, she applied for student loans and also signed up for work-study positions. After completing her demanding studies at Jinghua University, she still had to work, so the time they spent together was limited to the transition between the library, the bishop's dormitory, and the canteen where they worked.

He gave her all his cards at the time, and told her the PINs.

The nineteen-year-old girl had a thin face with little flesh, but her eyes were always bright and spirited. She was fair-skinned and delicate. At that time, many people said that she should be the campus belle of Jinghua University, but she was always unassuming and did not show off, so no one outside the department knew her.

Under the ginkgo trees on campus, the nineteen-year-old girl stared intently at his bank card for a long time before nodding obediently, "I understand."

However, it was only much later that Bian Xun learned that she had simply changed her work-study position to the cafeteria on another campus, which meant she had to walk a longer distance. But she knew that Bian Xun's routine was fixed and would not change, so he couldn't see it.

She thought he felt that his girlfriend working like this would embarrass him.

Bian Xun's dark eyes were half-closed.

Six years later, the unease in my heart still lingers and is corrosive.

He lifted his eyelashes again. "If there's nothing else, I'll be going."

Old Master Bian's face immediately turned angry, and he stomped his sandalwood cane on the ground: "Do you even have any respect for me as an elder?"

Just as Bian Yang was feeling extremely uneasy, a gentle and elegant voice entered the main hall.

"Grandpa Bian, don't be angry. I'm late." Xu Lanyi, with her elegant wavy hair, walked in gracefully.

Bian Yang looked over as if she were his savior, thinking to himself that Sister Lan Yi truly lived up to her reputation as a star; every move she made exuded charm, her red lips were elegant, and her makeup was perfect.

Perhaps because of the person mentioned earlier, Bian Yang unconsciously recalled his brother's girlfriend when he was in school, and naturally began to make comparisons in his mind.

From a man's perspective, female celebrities are definitely more attractive. But for some reason, he could also very well understand why his brother liked that girl back then.

Like a jasmine flower silently blooming in the dust, she possesses a clean and refreshing quality, her bright features shrouded in a simple and refreshing aura, yet she has a delicate and graceful beauty, like a misty rain... And yet, this is the kind of girl who would carry the iron bucket of food from the cafeteria, moving it from one door to another by herself, no matter how many boys were watching her on the way, her gaze remained calm and her emotions stable.

The contrast was so strong that Bian Yang remembered it vividly even after meeting his brother once when they went to see each other.

Then look at Sister Lan Yi, she has a life of luxury, just like the "female protagonist in a wish-fulfillment novel" as described online. After entering the entertainment industry, she had a smooth and successful career and got everything.

Indeed, only someone like him could stand alongside his elder brother.

As soon as Xu Lanyi entered, her gaze fell on the profile of the man sitting on the carved wooden chair.

The power struggle within the Bian family is obvious to everyone in the industry. Bian Xun, who now heads the entire group, is so refined and noble that it's impossible not to be attracted to him. He has always been the white moonlight in the hearts of all the rich heiresses.

Even with Bian Xun's looks, and despite having seen countless handsome men in the entertainment industry, none could compare to the cold, aloof features of the man before her. It was the noble bearing forged by generations of meritorious family, something that those pretty boys in the industry could never match.

Bian Xun remained expressionless, with a slightly listless air.

Just as Xu Lanyi passed by, he suddenly frowned. He sensed a familiar aura, one that Ning Ye had also experienced that day in the restroom.

It seems to smell like some kind of baby formula.

Xu Lanyi was well-versed in the etiquette of high society. After looking around, she sat down in the chair that Old Master Bian had specially reserved for her, and sure enough, she saw an expression of appreciation in his eyes.

She rinsed her mouth with tea and wiped her hands before handing over the gifts she had brought for the holiday. They were all things that the elders liked, and Old Master Bian was increasingly satisfied. "Lan Yi, with you here, this house is no longer lonely."

Xu Lanyi smiled politely, "The younger generation in the family are all in their own worlds and can't come home as often as they want. If there are more children in the future, the family will be more lively."

These words struck a chord with Grandpa Bian. Xu Lanyi then glanced at Bian Xun casually, "But Grandpa, you'll have to wait a while, Mr. Bian."

After chatting for a few minutes, Xu Lanyi smiled and changed the subject, "I wonder if Bian Xun likes children?"

"dislike."

Bian Xun dealt with the messages on his phone, stood up indifferently, and said, "Kill them if you see them."

"Bian Xun!"

Xu Lanyi's expression changed slightly, but then she thought that men are all this cold-blooded before they have their own children.

Her eyes flickered slightly.

She harbored a secret: five years ago, she secretly gave birth to a four-year-old son while her career was on the rise, keeping it hidden from countless fans. However, her selfless devotion to love, even at the cost of her figure and career, was met with betrayal.

Most importantly, the child's biological father is currently not doing well and has a history of scandals. Once this is made public, her career will inevitably be subjected to widespread ridicule online and plummet.

Just as she was desperately hiding her child and spending her days in despair, a voice, like a narrator, suddenly spoke to her in her mind.

It turns out that her future marriage partner, Bian Xun, the eldest son of the Bian family, also has a four-year-old daughter outside.

This daughter is his girlfriend from college. Back then, the girl broke up with him after taking money from the Bian family, but she was still greedy and somehow managed to have Bian Xun's illegitimate daughter, plotting to seize more of the Bian family's wealth.

What could be more likely to make two people feel the same way about each other than having met the same wrong person and had the same wrong child?

The Bian family would not accept a daughter-in-law of low status, and she also had her own difficulties. What was even more perfect was that his daughter and her son happened to be the same age.

She can publicly claim that the two children are her twins. If the father of the children is the youngest leader of Wujiang Group, with such power and status, even her fans will bless her, and her peers and rivals will only secretly envy her.

This matter cannot be rushed.

But only people like them are the center of the world, so perfectly matched.

…

Ning Ye suddenly woke up from a light sleep, “!”

Her almond-shaped eyes were still slightly unfocused, and her chest heaved.

They arrived at their new home quite late. She was coaxing Ning Zhitao to sleep when she herself unknowingly fell asleep and dreamt of an even more melodramatic and outrageous complete story.

The novel, titled "Dream Story," is a story about a mature woman raising a child in a wealthy family, centered around the character Xu Yinghou. The entire story begins with the unexpected appearance of the male lead's daughter. It turns out that Xu Yinghou had been pregnant out of wedlock years ago and dared not go public for fear of severely impacting her career. After learning that Bian Xun, the eldest son of a family with whom she had a long-standing friendship and the president of Wujiang Group, also had a daughter of the same age, she suddenly found a breakthrough in her life and began to get closer to the male lead.

She was willing to treat the two children as her own, raise them together, and give them a complete family.

But in reality, she just wanted the two children to serve as a control group.

Bian Xun's daughter learned bad habits from her birth mother. Not only was she precocious and cunning, but she also loved to give money to her mother.

Xu Yinghou's son, on the other hand, has always received a superior education and has an exceptional perspective, making the difference in their abilities immediately apparent.

The villainous female supporting character's biological mother was constantly trying to make money through gossip and stealing his cards for her own profit, so naturally she met a tragic end.

After Ning Ye woke up, she subconsciously turned around and searched for the black card, then grabbed it tightly.

I was terrified.

That was terrifying.

Quickly calm down and stop wasting money on gossip!

With a look of redemption, she opened Taobao and started browsing randomly.

What's with this absurd plot twist after we're searching for that bastard? It's hard to believe, but it does seem to explain why the daughter suddenly traveled from the future—wasn't it just to make her the same age as the female lead's son?

It turns out that the real beginning of the book is after the child transmigrates. The female supporting character who gives birth in the future is simply cannon fodder.

Ning Ye held Bian Xun's card, her mind racing. Should she use his card to buy a house for the child first?

Although she already knew the plot and could avoid it, what if things still went in that direction?

Before she could think further, Zhou Jie's alternate account popped up in the company's casual chat group, saying she'd heard rumors that their company would be hiring a big-name celebrity to endorse their new audio-visual product line! Apparently, the contract was already signed, and it was a top-tier actress! She'd be coming to the company after the holiday for an event—

The storyline is really unfolding.

Ning Ye made a quick decision and picked out a Little Genius children's smartwatch for her child. It had sold over 100,000 units, so she figured it must be good.

She didn't even wait for Singles' Day; she bought it immediately and swiped his card right away.

Priced at 1618 yuan, it features location tracking, dual cameras, and the ability to make and receive calls anytime. She bought it in a flash, and only then did her anxious feeling subside.

She couldn't tell whether it stemmed from maternal love or from a desire to avoid harm.

But no matter what, she could not allow Ning Zhitao to be treated as someone else's twins.

Please, her child is an only child!

…

Bian Xun rose from the main hall of the old house. Under the warm light of the bronze and jade lamps, his expression remained impenetrable and cold.

"Endorsement?"

"You don't need to worry about it," Old Master Bian chuckled twice. "In short, the group has already signed Lan Yi as the spokesperson for the new product, and my words still carry some weight."

Bian Xun remained expressionless.

He knew that the old man's summons tonight wasn't so simple; it was a demonstration of his remaining power after the old man had targeted the Bian family.

Xu Lanyi smiled modestly, "You'll see the power of my fans."

Bian Xun lowered his eyes, a sense of unease creeping into his heart once more.

As if to confirm it, his phone lit up again, and this time his brow twitched abruptly.

Just now, his card was charged again.

After seeing the numbers clearly, his brow and fingertips twitched in unison.

Bian Xun remained calm as he slowly put away his phone. For the first time tonight, he looked at Xu Lanyi with a sharp, cold gaze.

"If you don't earn 16.18 million for the company, I'll sue you to death."
