"Ding, KunPay has received the funds."
Upon hearing this amount, Mu Liuyun's heart skipped a beat.
Normally, he only earned 5,000 yuan per time as Liu Leyao's stand-in, but now that they've "broken up," he's getting 50,000 yuan per time.
If things could continue like this, he would wish to have his contract terminated every day.
As for why Shen Lanxin gave 50,000 and Liu Leyao also gave 50,000, perhaps this is the standard practice in the stand-in industry.
Consider this money compensation for you. Don't show up at my concerts again. You're an eyesore.
Liu Leyao didn't want to be so heartless, but considering Mu Liuyun's "feelings" for her, it was better to be direct to avoid causing him even more harm.
If Mu Liuyun knew what Liu Leyao was thinking, his eyes would definitely roll back into their sockets.
If you're really afraid of hurting me, why don't you tie the red bills together and smash them over his head until he's bleeding? He'd be happy to do it.
"Okay, Sister Leyao, goodbye!"
Goodbye my ass, you perverted woman. The next client will be much more generous.
After saying that, Mu Liuyun turned to leave, leaving behind the People's Square where she had earned 50,000 yuan in half an hour.
But before he could take a step, a familiar male voice suddenly rang out behind him.
"Le Yao, I'm here."
The voice was very gentle, giving one a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze. But Mu Liuyun could clearly hear the desire and coldness behind this spring breeze.
Without even looking up, Mu Liuyun knew who it was. He would never forget the face that made that voice, even if he were reduced to ashes.
It was Du Ziyan, Mu Liuyun's former younger brother and the biological son of his adoptive parents.
He was also one of the people Mu Liuyun hated most in this life.
Recalling the abuse she suffered at the hands of her family, Mu Liuyun appeared calm and collected, but her hands clenched into fists.
He met his adoptive father, Du Shang, when he was sixteen years old.
At the time, the Du Company's stock plummeted due to the sale of counterfeit goods. In an effort to reverse the decline, the Du businessmen began engaging in "philanthropy," donating large sums of money and providing scholarships to impoverished high school students.
Mu Liuyun was also a high school student. She met Du Shang for the first time at Du Shang's charity gala.
Du Shang was very interested in Mu Liuyun, who was even prettier than a girl, so he proposed to adopt her.
On the one hand, Mu Liuyun's gender and appearance can generate buzz; on the other hand, adopting an orphan like Mu Liuyun can enhance Du Shang's credibility.
At first, Mu Liuyun was unwilling to leave the orphanage, but Du Shang told her.
"If you won't be my son, plenty of others will!"
Mu Liuyun thought about it and agreed.
Anyway, Old Man Mu is too old to give back to the orphanage, so having a new father would allow him to eat better and reduce the orphanage's expenses. Why not?
Unfortunately, nothing comes for free.
After entering the Du family, Mu Liuyun was often hungry and cold, and she also had to learn various musical instruments from Du Ziyan.
Du Shang told him.
"You'll be part of our family from now on, so you can't develop a habit of being lazy and gluttonous. Learning music, chess, calligraphy, and painting is also so that you won't embarrass the Du family in the future!"
Mu Liuyun thought to herself that she was just a poor student and there was nothing she was worth coveting. The money she spent on learning musical instruments was enough to buy him several lives. Maybe Du Shang really meant well for her.
At the time, Mu Liuyun didn't know that Du Shang's behavior was called CPU.
Mu Liuyun truly realized the problem when she was eighteen years old.
By then, Mu Liuyun had already begun to resemble a young master from a wealthy family and had become accustomed to life in the Du family.
One evening, Du Shang led in a woman with an S-shaped figure.
Mu Liuyun thought this was Du Shang's mistress, but Du Shang brought the woman to him instead.
"This is your yoga teacher. Try to get your figure like hers within a year!"
"Huh? Me?"
Mu Liuyun was puzzled, Mu Liuyun was shocked, and Mu Liuyun gradually understood everything!
What rich young master? Du Shang is treating himself like a gift!
Sure enough, that night, as he lay on the yoga mat feeling utterly hopeless, he overheard Du Shang and his wife Zhen Shanmei discussing something.
"Business is still tough. It seems like it's time to give Wild Boy away. I heard that President Xiao likes this one."
Mu Liuyun was furious on the spot. "I treated you like landowners, and you treated me like a gift?"
Without saying a word, he picked up a yoga mat and rushed into Du Shang's room, slamming it against Du Shang's fat face several times.
Then, under Zhen Shanmei's shocked gaze, he spat on Du Shang's face.
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, never underestimate a young man's potential!"
After uttering this profound statement, Mu Liuyun immediately picked up her bucket and ran away, returning to Old Man Mu's orphanage and unilaterally severing ties with the Du family.
As for Du Ziyan, he's no better. He was all smiles and concern for Mu Liuyun at first, but after he found out she was a boy, he started to act against her. He would often pull off a scheme like the one in "The Real and Fake Young Master" to frame her. He even got involved with the school beauty, which forced Mu Liuyun to transfer schools.
It's fortunate that Mu Liuyun left the Du family early on, otherwise she would probably have inherited Zhen Shanmei's name by now and become the lead actress in "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Mu Liuyun also wanted to take revenge on the Du family, but as a mere orphan, where would he get the means and resources to fight back? Even if the Du family was only a small-scale enterprise, it was still not something Mu Liuyun could afford to offend. At most, he could secretly throw away the matching tableware when delivering meals to the Du Group.
"Oh, what are you doing here?"
Although Mu Liuyun had tried her best to lower her head, Du Ziyan still spotted her at a glance in the small space behind the scenes and spoke with slight surprise.
Then, as if remembering something, he smiled and asked Liu Leyao.
"You said you wanted me to replace the keyboardist, could it be him?"
Du Ziyan's voice remained gentle, but the teasing in his tone was undisguised, as if replacing Mu Liuyun was the most normal thing in the world.
When they were first adopted by their adoptive parents, Mu Liuyun and Du Ziyan often studied piano together and participated in piano competitions.
However, because of her adoptive parents, no matter how well Mu Liuyun played, the award would always go to Du Ziyan, who would always come in third place.
It wasn't that Mu Liuyun could control the score; it was just that her adoptive parents needed a supporting character who was excellent but not so excellent, to set off their biological son, Du Ziyan, who was the star.
"You two know each other?"
Liu Leyao maintained her cold demeanor, but her tone carried a hint of surprise.
"He is my brother."
"However, he ran away from home because of a fight with his parents."
Du Ziyan spoke before Mu Liuyun could, shrugging with a helpless expression, as if blaming Mu Liuyun for being too willful.
Liu Leyao looked at Mu Liuyun with a puzzled expression, trying to get an answer from Mu Liuyun.
Mu Liuyun took a deep breath and continued with a smile, "He used to be my younger brother, but now I have nothing to do with his family anymore. I'm just an orphan."
