Chapter 412: Invisible Show of Wealth
Holding Aunt Meng's hand, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.
The outsider who had occupied her body for several years, because he disliked her orphanage background and was worried that he would be "extorted" if he met the people in the orphanage, unilaterally cut off all contact and avoided having any real contact with the people in the orphanage.
Otherwise, given her personality, who knows what hurtful things she might say to these people she once cared about most?
This accidental blank space now gives Ye Wanxi the opportunity to fill in the gaps.
“When I first entered this industry, I heard people say that the entertainment industry is a big dye vat. If you are not careful and do something wrong, not only will you suffer, but you may also drag the people around you down with you. Moreover, the media in the entertainment industry are really ubiquitous. No matter whether I am doing well or not, there will always be some unscrupulous media that ignore the wishes of the parties involved and come to bother you. This is not necessarily a good thing for the kids in the hospital.”
"That's why I thought I'd come back after I... after I'd made a name for myself and was able to protect you and this place. I just didn't expect it would take me so long to get back here."
Ye Wanxi's explanation wasn't without flaws, but Aunt Meng already had a biased view of her, and during the period when Ye Wanxi's account didn't receive the money back, there were countless negative news stories about her online.
Looking at those so-called scandals, Aunt Meng naturally refused to believe that the well-behaved and sensible child she had watched grow up could be as despicable as they described.
After Ye Wanxi explained, she believed her almost without hesitation and said with heartache, "You child, you're not that old, but you've got a lot on your mind. Do you think you'll never come back if you don't make a name for yourself? Silly child, no matter what slander or grievances you suffer outside, you can come back anytime. This is your home, and we're all family. Why should we worry about being implicated by you?"
What Ye Wanxi had just said was merely an excuse to cover up the various antics of the outsiders over the past few years. But hearing Aunt Meng say this, she couldn't help but feel a little sore, and said in a hoarse voice, "I misunderstood. I won't do it again. I will definitely keep in touch with you often and come back to visit often. I just hope you won't find me annoying."
Aunt Meng was overjoyed: "I'm so happy you're willing to come back, how could I possibly find you annoying?"
"That's good. Don't transfer that money to me anymore. I have plenty of money now, what I gave you was just a small amount. I noticed when I first came in that our courtyard is really dilapidated. Let's take this opportunity to renovate the inside and outside of the courtyard. If we have any spare money, we can build a library for the children in the courtyard and add some playground equipment for them. The money is for you to spend, not for you to hoard."
Aunt Meng disagreed: "I know you have money now, but you have to think about yourself. How about this, take out half and renovate this place as you said, and I'll save the other half for you in a separate card. That way, if something happens to you in the future and you need money in an emergency, you can get it from me, instead of having your card frozen and being unable to do anything."
Ye Wanxi's lips twitched slightly, knowing that Aunt Meng was referring to the card she used to transfer money to them.
That card was Ye Wanxi's old salary card. A few years ago, when she joined Yuti Entertainment, someone registered with the same card.
Therefore, the payments for orders received by the company would be deposited into this card, which is why the orphanage was able to receive a few payments from the other party at the beginning.
Later, this person acted recklessly, losing a lot of endorsements, defaulting on contracts and accumulating a huge debt. The number in their account had long since turned negative, and the card was frozen by the company as a result.
It wasn't until Ye Wanxi sent a message back that the card was unfrozen thanks to the favor she showed in helping the Xiao family solve their problem. The balance in the card gradually returned to positive, allowing the money to be transferred to the orphanage as originally planned.
Aunt Meng said that because she couldn't contact her during the period when the card was frozen due to debt, she tried various ways to send her some money to help her through the crisis, only to find that the card had already been frozen and she couldn't even send the money back.
Once she understood this, Ye Wanxi was both annoyed and amused. No wonder Aunt Meng wanted to return the money to her as soon as she saw her, but when she refused, she thought of settling for a sum of money for her in case of emergency.
This is because they're afraid she might one day follow the same old path, go bankrupt overnight, have her bank cards frozen, and have no money to eat!
Ye Wanxi thought to herself that she wasn't as stupid as someone who had played a good hand so badly that not only did she not make money, but she also ended up with a mountain of debt for her to pay off.
I was just about to say something to persuade Aunt Meng to give up this idea, and to tell her frankly that I was now rich, very rich.
Before I could even speak, someone beat me to it.
"Hello, Auntie."
Aunt Meng's attention was focused on Ye Wanxi. Suddenly, she heard a strange male voice behind her and realized that a tall and handsome man in his twenties was silently following Ye Wanxi.
"Who are you……"
"I am Wanxi's boyfriend, my surname is Feng, you can call me Tianyu."
"Wanxi's boyfriend?" Aunt Meng exclaimed in surprise, her gaze towards Feng Tianyu changing instantly. "Wanxi, you have a boyfriend? When did this happen?"
In Ye Wanxi's mind, Aunt Meng was also among the elders. Being caught off guard by the fact that she had brought her boyfriend to meet her parents, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and said with a slightly red face, "It's...it's been recently."
"Why didn't you mention something so important just now?" Aunt Meng said, then seemed to remember something and asked worriedly, "You're a celebrity now, isn't it okay to have a boyfriend? I heard that those idols and their management companies don't allow them to have boyfriends or girlfriends, or they'll be punished if they're found out."
"It's okay, it's okay. Our company is very open-minded. I just announced it online not long ago, and both the company and my fans are very supportive."
Aunt Meng breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."
After saying that, he couldn't help but look Feng Tianyu up and down again: "Hello, I'm the director of this orphanage. Wanxi usually calls me Aunt Meng. If you don't mind, you can call me that too. You and Wanxi..."
Feng Tianyu knew what she was worried about and said proactively, "Of course I don't mind. Wanxi often mentions you to me, saying how well you took care of her when she was in the orphanage. From your conversation with her just now, it's clear that you really love her very much. But as her boyfriend, I can assure you that what you just said will not happen again. With me here, Wanxi will never face the situation of having her card frozen and having no money in her life. So, you really don't need to reject her feelings for this reason."
Ye Wanxi: "..." Senior Brother, although what you said is true, isn't this just a disguised way of showing off your wealth?
