The voice actors, who had been anxious about having nothing to do, suddenly learned that evening that their studio had been bought out! Their hearts nearly leaped out of their chests!
And that mysterious boss had given them two million each! In exchange, they had to work day and night to finish recording the audio drama "Night Ghost Procession" within three days!
They were pumped! As if they had been injected with chicken blood! They sprang to life! Forget three days-they could finish it in two!
Luo Beishi was very satisfied. He had thought they would ask for a few extra days to ensure the quality, but to his surprise, they had agreed to three days without a word.
Huo Cixiao, who had listened to the whole thing, found it amusing. His bargain wife was so considerate of him; he even knew that "Night Ghost Procession" was his favorite.
"Hubby, I'm done. Let's sleep." Luo Beishi put down his phone, lay down, and switched on a little night-light.
Since Huo Cixiao was still unconscious anyway, Luo Beishi was growing bolder and bolder.
He draped his leg over Huo Cixiao's legs, wrapped an arm over his stomach, and took Huo Cixiao's hand while he was at it.
Huo Cixiao, who had feeling in his right hand, felt petrified. So his bargain wife held his hand every night while sleeping?
Huo Cixiao felt he had never encountered anything so difficult to deal with.
How was he supposed to send his bargain wife away after he woke up?
His bargain wife had money and material possessions already. He might not care about Huo Cixiao's paltry cash either.
By now, even an idiot could tell that his bargain wife's goal was him. And judging by their time together these past few days, the forces behind his bargain wife were definitely substantial. Otherwise, he could not possibly have run circles around those petty villains in mere minutes.
Huo Cixiao sighed helplessly, worry rising in his heart.
Luo Beishi had no idea his bargain husband had started fantasizing again. He had already fallen fast asleep.
The next day.
Luo Beishi attended classes as usual.
Huo Cixiao could only stay home and listen to the boring "Economic Frontline Times."
A Hu and A Long put on gloves and turned Huo Cixiao over.
A Hu had always firmly believed that the young master could hear them, so he gave Huo Cixiao another vivid account of what had happened yesterday.
Only then did Huo Cixiao understand. To think his bargain wife had pursued Huo Cifeng because he wanted Huo Cifeng to be his substitute!
That explained why his bargain wife had never gone looking for Huo Cifeng again after getting him.
He also heard A Hu say that his bargain wife had never been willing to spend money on Huo Cifeng before. Everything he bought had been trinkets costing just a few yuan.
Yet the gemstones he gave Huo Cixiao were worth either tens of billions or billions...
By comparison, Huo Cifeng had suffered a total defeat!
Hmph, so this little brother of mine was nothing but a substitute. And here I thought he was Luo Beishi's unforgettable first love or something.
Who would have thought I was the first love?
Huo Cixiao felt in a very good mood today. All these years, this little brother of his had been so overshadowed by him that he had nowhere to hide.
Now even Luo Beishi, who liked him most, had turned out to be a sham. His little brother would surely be delighted when he found out, wouldn't he?
Inside Huo Cifeng's company.
Every employee who saw him today looked at him with pity. He had also learned about the claims online that he was a substitute.
At first, he could not believe it. Later, the farther he read through the comments, the more furious he became, until his chest shook and his whole body went cold. He wanted to kill someone.
What gave Luo Beishi the right! How dare he treat me like this! In the past, whether it rained or snowed, whenever Luo Beishi had time, he would spare no effort to wait downstairs at his company and smile at him.
Now... well done, Luo Beishi. You actually dared to treat me as a substitute! And Huo Cixiao's substitute at that!
He infuriated him again and again, yet still kept out of his grasp.
The people he had sent lately were useless. Their attempts were always thwarted, and they could not get hold of Luo Beishi at all.
For the first time, he wanted to kill someone with his own hands, yet he could do nothing. Just what else was there about Luo Beishi that he did not know? Mysterious, unfathomable...
When Luo Beishi finished class, his classmates' gazes changed again. On the whole, they really wanted to ask questions but did not dare, so they timidly followed behind him. Luo Beishi was speechless.
When they reached the school gates, some sharp-eyed classmates noticed that the car picking Luo Beishi up was a top-of-the-line luxury car, one of only three in the world, with a price tag of 110 million yuan. Was this how rich people lived?
His classmates watched the car leave, filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
The girls began resenting their former selves again. Why had they been so blind before?
Right, it was all Luo Bai's fault! He had cost them a wealthy friend!
And so, Luo Bai's account on the forum was flooded by a crowd again. They hurled every kind of insult at him, including some very filthy ones.
When Luo Bai saw it at home, he shook with rage. It was all because of Luo Beishi!
Not only had he stolen everyone's attention, he even had a face like that. He should slash his face... disfigure him. Only once he was disfigured would Luo Bai become the center of attention again.
The boy next door... just two more days until he comes back. When the time comes, I'll make sure Luo Beishi suffers a fate worse than death!
Luo Beishi felt uncomfortable if he went a day without stirring up trouble. He really did have a villain's constitution, he silently mocked himself. When the car pulled up outside the villa and he got out, admiring gazes turned toward him once again.
Luo Beishi: "..."
There's really no need to be so sincere. He had never expected that in just a few weeks, these bodyguards who claimed they would forever be loyal to Huo Cixiao would all treat him with such respect, even letting him install tracking software and the like on their phones.
Actually, all of that had only been to scare them. It was not real, merely a precaution against any eventuality.
"Young madam, there's a guest waiting for you in the living room. He's one of the old master's people, so we let him in."
Luo Beishi nodded slightly and walked calmly back into the living room. The butler took his schoolbag to put it away.
In the living room, a man in a gray suit, dressed in an old-fashioned and solemn manner, sat ramrod straight on the sofa. Upon seeing him approach, he immediately stood, bowed to him, and introduced himself. "Hello, young madam. A pleasure to meet you. I'm Master Huo's personal lawyer, Cen Yi."
Lawyer Cen was about to offer his hand, but worried that someone as cold as Luo Beishi might not respond. He simply decided not to offer a handshake, sparing himself the embarrassment.
Luo Beishi nodded. "Mm, thank you for your trouble. Please sit." He sat down opposite the lawyer and asked, "What brings you here, Counselor?"
After sitting down, Lawyer Cen spoke with utmost respect, getting straight to the point. "I've come to transfer the properties the master is giving you: an estate valued at two billion and a holiday resort worth around 1.5 billion. Please take a look." He pushed the documents over.
Luo Beishi was actually quite happy inside. The overseas company did not belong to him, and honestly, after several weeks of giving massages, he had only saved up a few hundred million. Even the gemstones he gave Huo Cixiao did not belong to him.
But the things Old Master Huo gave him were his!
The lawyer did not notice the flash of slyness in Luo Beishi's eyes.
The lawyer did not look Luo Beishi directly in the eye. After all, the person before him was a big shot worth over a hundred billion. He could not compare at all, much less give him attitude. He knew his place very well.
Besides, this was someone Old Master Huo thought highly of. He felt that Old Master Huo had been showing some intention of changing his will lately.
