Chapter 84
However, although Shi Xuanzhu thought so in his mind, looking at Song Yun's somewhat embarrassed expression, he still said with concern on his face.
"I know you're doing this for my own good, but I don't want to put you in danger because of these things."
Shi Xuanzhu held Song Yun's hand tightly and said seriously.
"We are just ordinary people. Your brother is involved in many complicated and threatening relationships. As his brother, you are likely to be implicated. I just want you to be safe."
Song Yun looked at the genuine concern on Shi Xuanzhu's face and felt warm in her heart.
"I know, but it's actually quite safe back home, isn't it? They can't possibly interfere with what's going on back home."
Song Yun said in a low voice.
Shi Xuanzhu: ...
Yes, it is impossible for them to interfere in domestic affairs, but the key is that those opportunities are abroad!
Yes, he had wanted to use Ye Wangxing’s relationship to get some international opportunities, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to live anymore!
But he couldn't show it now. After all, Song Yun was really doing this for his own good. As the mistress of the house, there was no way he could find fault with Song Yun.
——Although it was good intention but led to bad results.
As Shi Xuanzhu thought about it, the depression in his heart disappeared, and the expression on his face became more sincere, which quickly smoothed out the knot in Song Yun's heart.
However, just when Song Yun was about to bring the topic back to Ye Wangxing, Shi Xuanzhu immediately realized that something was wrong. If he continued to dwell on this topic with Song Yun, Song Yun would sooner or later discover his true attitude towards Ye Wangxing. It would be better to take the initiative and change the subject.
"Let's just let this matter go for now. Maybe it will be fine in a few days. I have something else I want to tell you."
Shi Xuanzhu said with a gentle smile on his face.
When Song Yun heard what Shi Xuanzhu said, he temporarily gave up the topic about Ye Wangxing. He knew that when Shi Xuanzhu said this, the matter had been temporarily put to rest.
However, Song Yun still felt that this was the reason why Shi Xuanzhu was worried about him. Although he still felt some inexplicable strangeness in his heart, he still asked with some doubts.
"What's going on?"
Shi Xuanzhu smiled until her eyes narrowed as she said, "It's about work. A director has arranged a dinner with me. I'll take you with me then!"
There was a hint of excitement in his voice, which made Song Yun successfully think that Shi Xuanzhu had received an invitation for a new role, and she was genuinely happy for him.
——Until that day when he was having dinner, he saw that the person sitting opposite him was the director of the variety show.
Song Yun didn't know how he finished his meal that day, but fortunately he insisted on not saying that he was willing to participate in the variety show. Instead, he kept saying that he was very grateful to the director for giving their Shi Xuanzhu the opportunity.
Shi Xuanzhu's expression suddenly turned bad, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Song Yun no longer had the warmth he had before.
The director didn't know what kind of lawsuit the couple was involved in, but having an actor as an observer was already a good thing. The director didn't ask for more, so he kept a low profile at the dinner and even left early.
After the director left, Song Yun and Shi Xuanzhu returned home and had the biggest fight since they got married.
The topics included but were not limited to who Song Yun gave up his career to be a full-time househusband, Shi Xuanzhu had always been the one paying for Song's father and Ye's mother's affairs, and why Song Yun was not informed that the variety show director was coming tonight.
Both are adult men. One is constantly filming, and even though he uses a body double most of the time, his physical strength should not be underestimated. The other spends more time doing housework at home, but he also works out.
The two quarreled so loudly that the nanny at home was scared.
At the end of the quarrel, all that could be heard was the sound of the door slamming shut, and the entire villa was finally quiet again.
The nanny who was originally in the kitchen carefully pushed open the kitchen door and saw Mr. Shi Xuanzhu standing in the living room.
The lights in the living room were bright, but Shi Xuanzhu stood there with a gloomy look on his face.
He was completely different from his righteous and mild-tempered appearance outside. He was as vicious as a spy in a TV series.
The kind that can take out a telegraph and start typing in the next second.
The nanny's gaze seemed to have caught Shi Xuanzhu's attention. He immediately looked at the nanny, and the hostility in his gaze scared the nanny so much that she slammed the kitchen door shut.
"Why don't you accept Mr. Li's invitation from next door tomorrow? Mr. Shi looks scary."
The nanny patted her chest and thought.
As the most popular nanny in this villa area, she has no shortage of clients.
Song Yun didn't realize that the nanny she had been protecting herself against was thinking of quitting her job just because of a look from her husband.
Otherwise, he would definitely not run away from home, but would go back and fight Shi Xuanzhu to the death.
But unfortunately he didn't know, he was even standing in the cold wind at night in a daze.
In this situation, a line of lyrics even floated into Song Yun's ears.
"Walking in the cold wind of a winter night, all that is scattered and crushed are dreams"
Song Yun was startled by this line of lyrics, then turned around and made way for the young man who was driving a radio at night. Then he swiped his phone to see who he could go to tonight.
but……
As Shi Xuanzhu explained, after being a stay-at-home husband for over seven years, he'd completely lost his social circle, and his former friends had stopped contacting him. It was becoming difficult for them to settle down in the capital. He couldn't even find anyone to talk to, other than his family.
And my little cousin who was still living with her parents late at night was obviously not a good choice.
After searching around and not finding anyone to talk to, he finally looked at the number at the top of his address book and called.
"...So this is why you've been so consumed by internal energy all night long?"
The handsome young man looked at his brother sitting on the sofa with a face full of shame and said with a calm expression.
Sitting on the sofa, Song Yun began to talk about her inner journey with a guilty look on her face.
The handsome young man seemed to be listening attentively, and responded with "hmm" and "ah" from time to time, but in his heart he was looking over the original plot to see when Song Yun's story actually took place.
When Song Yun just came over, Ye Wangxing realized that something seemed a little wrong. This plot seemed too familiar, but this is something that will only happen after the variety show is over?
And the reason for the quarrel was not this, but because Shi Xuanzhu was photographed while having dinner with his "soulmate" and came to Song Yun for emergency public relations, which led to the quarrel between the two.
——But at that time, Shi Xuanzhu emphasized that the innocent will be cleared, and blamed everything on the violent online environment.
[These hypocrites really always have a reason. Although some real netizens are just like the NPCs in the cyberbullying plots in certain novels, blindly believing whatever others say and rushing forward to cyberbully others, Shi Xuanzhu is a guy who always talks about etiquette. How could he not understand social etiquette?]
After Ye Wangxing came across this plot, he complained to Yijiu in his mind, and clicked on the task panel to check the task this time.

Ye Wangxing really wanted to complain when he saw the word "widow" in the identity column, but he closed his eyes and ignored it. After turning to look at the second side task below, he was speechless again.
When I saw this task before, I thought it was similar to the original plot. Song's father and Ye's mother went to Song Yun's house and joined forces with the protagonist to mentally suppress him, saying that he was not satisfied. He had his lines ready and was just waiting to confront those two.
However, what Ye Wangxing didn't expect was that the reason for the quarrel this time was different.
But what he didn't expect was that the reason for the quarrel this time was different. It was Shi Xuanzhu who brought the person here without informing Song Yun, but he actually had a reason!
[Host, Shi Xuanzhu's emotional intelligence and IQ are both fine, so he subconsciously finds appropriate reasons for his actions. In the original novel, Song Yun was driven crazy by Shi Xuanzhu, and it wasn't just her parents who relied on her.]
Yijiu said this, but there was a hint of satisfaction in his tone.
This made Ye Wangxing a little confused, as Yijiu didn't seem like the type of person who would appreciate such a person.
And Yijiu did not disappoint Ye Wangxing. He did not appreciate Shi Xuanzhu.
but……
[Host, this is the first time I've predicted the protagonist's behavior—it seems this person's personality simulation function isn't faulty.]
Yijiu looked at the personality model he had created, and for the first time, a hint of satisfaction appeared in his tone.
Listening to Yijiu's tone, Ye Wangxing suddenly felt that the previous missions had been really hard for him. The upheavals in those worlds had made Yijiu's personality simulation system ineffective.
Not to mention those abstract high school students in the first world, the wonderful ideas in his mind are simply indescribable.
After all, they are a group of talented people who are driven crazy by studying.
When Ye Wangxing thought of the suffering that World No. 19 had endured in the previous worlds, and the bloody shocks that the system in his war zone was forced to endure, he really felt sorry for No. 19.
What on earth happened to him some time ago?
[That's great! Yijiu, your abilities have increased. Let's set off some fireworks to celebrate!]
Thinking of this, Ye Wangxing also bought some celebratory fireworks from the system store.
It didn't cost much, just one attention point, but the fireworks they got in return were enough for them to set off for 10 years, so they celebrated the 19th without saying a word.
This made Yijiu a little stunned.
As a system that often sets off fireworks for its hosts, it never expected that there would be hosts who would set off fireworks for themselves. The attention points consumed were not much, not even as much as some hosts who missed the food from their hometowns and bought it in the system store.
but……
Yijiu looked up at the fireworks exploding in the system space.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, a rare arc, and then he turned his head to look at Ye Wangxing.
...The colorful fireworks just happened to bloom in his pupils.
——Ye Wangxing was almost so stunned that he forgot to reply to Song Yun.
Fortunately, Song Yun did not realize that her brother was losing his mind because of a silicon-based creature in his mind.
He was still talking about his situation.
He didn't hit anyone or curse at anyone, but the endless arguments were extremely exhausting.
——Especially when what Shi Xuanzhu said made a lot of sense.
"You should go out and walk around. You've been at home full-time for so many years. How many social circles do you have left? You should go out and make more friends!"
Shi Xuanzhu said loudly.
"This is a great opportunity. I finally managed to get us to appear on a variety show together, and you're just going to give the director a cold shoulder at the banquet tonight?"
That self-righteous look made Song Yun begin to doubt whether he had really shut himself off. This made him feel powerless during the following quarrel, so he resorted to the method he had previously despised the most.
"——Isn't it because you didn't tell me in advance? Forget it, there's no point in arguing with you. I'm not staying at home tonight!"
Then Song Yun came here.
He now really began to doubt whether he had been too closed to himself, to the point that Shi Xuanzhu could not bear it anymore.
If this is really the case, maybe participating in a variety show is a good idea.
"... Anyway, this is the whole process."
Song Yun sighed and said.
He felt as if his life had changed a little bit. Although it was small, it was enough to turn the world upside down and make him feel at a loss for a moment.
Her husband was clearly doing it in the name of doing good for him, and it was indeed for his own good, but why did he feel so uncomfortable, as if he was kidnapped?
Is he really too closed off?
He looked up at Ye Wangxing, wanting to seek his brother's opinion.
He was also prepared, his younger brother would be impatient to prepare, after all, his matter was too trivial. But when he looked up, he saw the handsome young man raised an eyebrow with a look of "that's it".
"I thought you killed my brother-in-law. I even found someone to clean up after you. I'll arrange for you to turn yourself in immediately. I'll sue you for impulsive murder or something like that."
As the handsome young man spoke, a look of disappointment gradually appeared on his face.
"——I've made all these preparations, and you tell me you just had a fight with him?"
Song Yun: ...
He suddenly felt that he was not so depressed anymore.
After all, was he really shutting himself off? Compared to trivial matters like whether he needed to interact with people, he now wanted to know what his brother had been through, and how he could even say such things.
What Song Yun didn't know was that when his brother said that, he was repenting in his mind with the core socialist values in his mind.
"...Wang Xing, your brother-in-law and I haven't really reached this point. We have a really good relationship."
Song Yun said as if she was trying to save her life.
Hearing that the handsome young man finally just put on a regretful expression and finally took back the lawyer's number on the phone, Song Yun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"That's right. Kaiser and I only had a minor conflict back then, and it didn't get to this extent. Although I think the way you two get along is a bit distant, it might just be the individual differences between couples - and it's really a small matter."
As the handsome young man spoke, he took the red wine glass beside him and poured a glass for Song Yun, while he shook the red wine glass himself.
"Is this a trivial matter? Shouldn't I have quarreled with him?"
Song Yun asked with some doubt, and then the doubt turned into questioning herself.
If someone else had persuaded him, they might have questioned the other person, but this is his younger brother after all, and he has also experienced marriage life, so what he said might be right.
"I don't know how you get along, but this is really nothing in my marriage with Kaiser."
The handsome young man shrugged and said, making Song Yun's expression even more annoyed.
but……
The next second, the regret on Song Yun's face froze on his.
"After all, at least your husband didn't install surveillance on you for three months without telling you before you discovered it."
The handsome young man spoke in a calm tone, as if he was just saying that he had eaten an apple today.
Song Yun: ...
He let out another sharp popping sound.
"Wangxing, what on earth did you go through abroad?"
Song Yun was in a daze until she went to bed and had no memory of questioning herself at all.
Song Yun originally wanted to scold her brother-in-law, but when she thought about how he was already dead and all debts were settled, she couldn't bring herself to curse him. She could only hold back all the words and then frantically told her brother what a normal family was like, and how his situation was definitely not normal.
Fortunately, Ye Wangxing was well-behaved and obedient, and seemed to have taken everything he said to heart. Song Yun couldn't guarantee how much of it he could put into practice, but this attitude alone made Song Yun feel relieved.
The next day, Song Yun was about to say goodbye to Ye Wangxing and go home to talk to Shi Xuanzhu, but was taken away by Ye Wangxing in a daze.
After all, Ye Wangxing said he wanted to inspect the company in which he owned shares. How could he, as his brother, not accompany him?
It was also a good opportunity to help check whether Ye Wangxing had been deceived. He had been in the entertainment industry for so long, and his own man was an actor. Song Yun felt that no one could escape his eyes as long as it was an act.
Then he couldn't leave.
Because Ye Wangxing owns shares in too many corporate groups.
He has shares in industries ranging from industry to e-commerce, from food to research institutes, and even the tourism industry.
Ye Wangxing inspected for a few days and naturally picked out some companies to intervene in.
This also made Assistant Wang beside Ye Wangxing very busy.
However, this is only a small portion of the shares, and more of the big ones are still abroad.
Ye Wangxing really didn't treat Song Yun as an outsider, and began to order his brother around without any hesitation.
"Brother, I have something to do at the company. Come over and help me watch the interview. You don't have to interview them. You just need to sit aside and put pressure on them."
"Brother, I signed a contract with my company and came here to help support the situation."
"Brother, my company is renovating, can you help supervise the work?"
Song Yun was easy to talk to, and with Ye Wangxing's request, he was suddenly very busy, rushing around to finish renovations at one company and then rushing to attend meetings at another. Although he couldn't understand, he was good at keeping up appearances.
Of course, because of these things, he also got some more shares in his brother's company.
Even his brother was at the limit of what he could accept, making it impossible for him to refuse.
Because of these shares, he was so busy that he didn't even have the chance to call Shi Xuanzhu - until the news that the nanny wanted to resign was sent to his mobile phone.
When Song Yun received the message, she was staring at the decoration supervisor, who was accompanied by the company's manager.
He can now disguise his aura without changing his expression or heartbeat.
And these groups also know that their major shareholder has a brother with an amazing aura.
The manager was originally still sighing that the upbringing of wealthy families was indeed different. One of the brothers raised there was a shareholder of so many companies at such a young age, and the other also had a very strong aura.
——Then he saw the expression of this imposing man change instantly after reading a short message.
Then he took out his cell phone and made a call.
"——Shi! Xuan! Zhu! How the hell are you looking after the house? Why would Aunt Li call me to resign? I finally snatched Aunt Li from Mrs. Zhao next door!"
These words were squeezed out from between the man's teeth.
"I'm telling you, Shi Xuanzhu, I'll be back in half an hour. If Aunt Li really resigns, you'll have to pack your bags and live directly with the crew!"
When Song Yun rushed home, she was so angry that she almost went crazy.
That's Aunt Li, the nanny who keeps the most detailed accounts in the entire neighborhood! She cooks beautifully, cleans without hesitation, and loves cleanliness, and she never badmouths her employer.
God knows that he took advantage of the fact that Mrs. Zhao next door was getting a divorce from her husband and pried Aunt Li away. But he had only been away for a few days, less than a month, and Shi Xuanzhu had already taken Aunt Li away?
It's bad enough that they had a fight before and it made him so angry that he was consumed by internal friction, but now he's actually taking it out on Aunt Li?!
Song Yun couldn't help but feel itchy in his hands just thinking about it, and even Ye Wangxing's words about hiring a lawyer emerged in his mind.
Fortunately, when he returned home, Aunt Li was still at home. Shi Xuanzhu successfully kept Aunt Li. Although her salary increased a little, it was not a big deal. Song Yun was relieved.
Shi Xuanzhu seemed to realize his mistake because of this incident. In front of Aunt Li, he took Song Yun to a private restaurant and said a lot of soft words on the way, which made Song Yun's inner knot open up a little.
After all, this period of time has been quite busy, and Song Yun's doubts about herself have been alleviated a lot, and she has become more tolerant towards Shi Xuanzhu.
But he was still sure that he really didn't want to show himself in front of others, and he also hated other people's evaluation of him.
But just when Song Yun thought that this was purely a world for the two of them, the smile on his face disappeared as soon as he opened the door of the restaurant box.
Song's father and Ye's mother were sitting at the table, looking rather unhappy as if they were in a trial. Only the little cousin beside them had an awkward smile on her face and waved at him.
Little cousin: ...Brother, do you believe me when I say I’m just craving their braised beef brisket?
