Quick Wear: The Cold Beauty's Sickly Husband is Super Clingy

The Galari Empire.

At the Xiao family, located in the central area of ​​the empire, the newly appointed patriarch of the Xiao family sat on a rattan chair on the balcony, smoking a cigarette with a cigar between his white fingers.

Xiao Heyu's delicate facial features were shrouded in smoke, blurry and a bit cold.

[White Elm in this world is called Xiao Heyu]

There was no trace of gentleness in his expression, and his eyes, which always loved to smile, were no longer gentle at all.

The young man's face was now as cold as ice, his former gentleness and elegance no longer visible, and he was filled with disappointment towards his biological father and mother.

He flicked the ash off his cigarette and said softly, "I knew that the world is unpredictable and people's hearts are hard to predict, but I didn't expect it to be so hard to predict..."

System 8023 was so anxious when he heard this, [Host, that was their own choice. It has nothing to do with you. It’s hard to persuade the damned ghost with kind words.]

It and the host entered this world twenty years ago, before the plot began.

Twenty years ago, the original owner was only six years old. After seeing his father Xiao Jingyu having an affair with another woman, he accidentally fell into the pond.

What he wanted at that time was to tell his mother what happened so that his father would not continue to deceive her, but he ended up falling into the pool while running.

The original owner ran too hastily, and the Xiao family's servants did not discover the matter in time, which ultimately led to the original owner, who was only six years old, dying on the spot.

But as one of the protagonists of this world, he shouldn't die at a young age.

This also led to bugs in the world.

All Bai Yu needs to do is to survive smoothly until the beginning of the plot, and help the protagonist Yun Mufeng enter politics and change the situation in the empire.

He doesn't have to be with the protagonist, but he must play the role he should play.

It can be said that he will be the protagonist and the golden thigh that changes the political situation of the empire in the future.

The protagonist is an orphan born into a commoner family, and what he most wants to change is the insurmountable gap in status and power between nobles and commoners.

But his own strength was too weak.

So after several setbacks, he began to find three powerful people to rely on.

And the original owner was one of Yun Mufeng's supports.

Bai Yu was not worried about the content of the task, but was worried about the mother that the original owner was worried about before his death.

The original owner didn't want her mother to be deceived again, and even more so didn't want her to get hurt.

Therefore, after Bai Yu woke up from the original owner's body, he vaguely mentioned the matter to the original owner's mother, but Xia Ruolan didn't seem to care.

Xia Ruolan just thought that her son was sick, which was why he had such wild thoughts.

She never thought that her husband, who loved her deeply, would have an affair with his mistress behind her back, and she was still immersed in sweet love.

After a brief observation, Bai Yu, who was still weak and alone, realized that his one-sided words could not prove that the man who was affectionate in Xia Ruolan's eyes was secretly having an affair, and he could not help the original owner's mother escape from the fire pit for the time being.

So, he began to accumulate strength and build up his own power bit by bit.

He must have enough strength to ensure that Xia Ruolan can get the right to make her own choice from the Xiao family and Xiao Jingyu.

It was not until he was ten years old that he put the evidence of Xiao Jingyu's cheating over the years in front of Xia Ruolan, wanting her to make the free choice to stay or leave.

After experiencing shock, anger, and collapse, Xia Ruolan calmed down.

Family marriages between the powerful and wealthy are not so easily cancelled just because the man has cheated.

Although she was deceived by the false affection her husband deliberately created, she thought Xiao Jingyu and she really had a deep affection...

But she is not one of those naive young ladies.

Even though he lost his love, he still had power and money, as well as the Xiao family and the huge influence that the Xiao family possessed.

Under the premise that the marriage cannot be dissolved, Xia Ruolan just wants to seek benefits for herself and her son as much as possible and not be tricked by Xiao Jingyu.

But her son told her that she had the right to choose whether to divorce.

Bai Yu waited four years before telling the whole matter because he didn't want Xia Ruolan to continue to compromise, and also to avoid unnecessary trouble.

He was too lazy to argue with the original owner's father anymore, and even more unwilling to dirty his eyes again.

However, Xia Ruolan still refused.

She chose to stay in the Xiao family, but she no longer had feelings for Xiao Jingyu, who pretended to be affectionate.

When a woman discovers that her husband, who was once deeply in love with her, is actually unfaithful, she will always discover many truths that she would not normally be able to discover.

Following those clues, Xia Ruolan saw the true face of her affectionate husband and felt sad for what she had given.

It turns out that the man who kept saying that he would only love her for the rest of his life had the romantic traits common to the upper class and powerful, and he would never learn to be loyal.

She thought her husband was different from others, but she found out that she was wrong.

Xiao Jingyu, who portrays himself as a loving husband, is essentially no different from other powerful people, except that he is better at disguising himself.

Xia Ruolan gradually gave up on him completely.

She shifted her focus to her son and no longer paid much attention to her husband.

The couple then lived separately.

After learning that his wife saw through his true colors, Xiao Jingyu became even more unconcealed.

He started hanging out with all kinds of women and no longer maintained the image of a good husband.

Xia Ruolan started to have affairs outside and occasionally took handsome boys out to get a room.

The main theme is about a couple playing their own games.

Bai Yu was too lazy to care about the couple anymore and focused on expanding his own network.

It was at this time that he made many new friends.

As he grew up here, Xiao Heyu, who came from a prominent family, officially entered politics.

The first place he entered was the Imperial Ministry of Justice.

At that time, he was just in his early twenties and was very popular because he was gentle and kind to others. Even the common people at the bottom of society had a good impression of him.

But when he was 26 years old, his parents were both exposed to be in a relationship. What's more outrageous is that the couple each had an illegitimate child outside.

This incident was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

All parties in the empire were watching the show, and Xiao Heyu [also known as Bai Yu], the couple's only son, was also at the center of public opinion.

Bai Yu knew that the original owner's parents were not in harmony with each other and both had new families outside.

He also knew about the existence of the other two 'brothers'.

After all, the monitoring system 8023 is not for show, and Bai Yu is not so stupid as not to notice anything. He just pretended not to know.

He was not worried that the two illegitimate children would threaten his position in politics and the Xiao family.

Although his father seemed to be the head of the Xiao family, in fact, he had already stripped him of his power.

When faced with the outbreak of her parents' romance, Bai Yu was not as hysterical as the outside world expected. Instead, she was as calm as an outsider.

But before Bai Yu had time to deal with the outside public opinion, he was backstabbed by his parents.

Xiao Jingyu and Xia Ruolan actually wanted to force the legal wife Xiao Heyu to abdicate for the sake of their illegitimate child, and they both turned against Xiao Heyu.

Xiao Jingyu wants to take his mistress and illegitimate son home and let the illegitimate son recognize his ancestors.

Xia Ruolan also wanted to bring her lover and illegitimate child home, and wanted to bring the son she gave birth to with her lover to the Xiao family as if he were Xiao Heyu's biological brother.

The one who went the furthest was Xia Ruolan.

Her heart had already been set on her new family, leaving Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Heyu behind.

After Xiao Heyu refused to acknowledge her illegitimate son as her biological brother, this noble lady who had been wholeheartedly protecting her son actually killed her own legitimate son for the illegitimate child.

The poisoned dagger stabbed into Bai Yu's chest.

Bai Yu could have actually dodged the attack at that time, but he chose to take the knife head on, thus ending their twenty years of mother-son relationship.

From then on, mother and son became strangers.

He no longer held back and attacked the two illegitimate children who attempted to replace him, and also took care of their biological parents as well.

But that knife still hurt him after all.

Although he managed to save his life in time, his black hair turned white after being seriously injured.

No matter how good the medicine is, it cannot restore your hair color to its original state.

Xia Ruolan, her lover and her illegitimate child all lost their lives because of that one knife.

All three died on the same day.

After Bai Yu dealt with Xia Ruolan, he began to attack Xiao Jingyu, who had been watching the mother and son killing each other coldly.

While he was recuperating, he was also dealing with Xiao Jingyu.

Xiao Jingyu finally realized that the Xiao family was completely controlled by Xiao Heyu.

He realized that his plan had failed.

His son seems to be a gentle gentleman, but in fact he has already completely controlled the Xiao family.

No matter how much he and Xia Ruolan struggled, it was in vain.

For the sake of profit, the Xia family, who are engaged in business, will not give up Xiao Heyu, who can bring more benefits to the Xia family, just because of Xia Ruolan's pleading.

The Xiao family is under Xiao Heyu's control again...

Xiao Jingyu could only rely on external forces and use other people's hands to deal with Xiao Heyu and take back the power that belonged to him, so he contacted the Duan family.

Duan Yian has always coveted his son, so he would naturally not let go of a chance to get Xiao Heyu. He wants power while the other party wants the person.

As the governor of Area C, Duan Yian knew that if he missed this great opportunity, he would never be able to get that gentle beauty again.

Ever since he met Xiao Heyu as a child, he had been thinking about having her all to himself.

Unfortunately, Xiao Heyu prefers to get along with Pei Ziye.

What is there in that reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill that is worthy of Xiao Heyu's attention?

Pei Ziye is currently on the battlefield and has no time to care about the Xiao family's riot.

Then, he must act quickly.

Duan Yian's joining made Bai Yu even more disappointed with Xiao Jingyu, and he acted faster and more ruthlessly, taking Duan Yian with him.

The empire's political arena began to become turbulent.

Less than three months after the two sides fought, Duan Yian and Xiao Jingyu were defeated.

Xiao Jingyu, his lover and his illegitimate son all died quietly of illness.

Smart people understand the inside story, and stupid people are not stupid enough to ask in detail, after all, it is none of their business and they will just ignore it.

Duan Yian quickly disappeared from the political arena, and even the prosperous Duan family was divided up by various families.

After all, Xiao Jingyu is not the only one who can bring people into the game, Bai Yu has more partners.

The scandal about Xiao Jingyu and Xia Ruolan gradually faded away with their passing.

No media outlet was willing to offend the newly-appointed head of the Xiao family, or rather the newly-elected governor of District A of the Empire.
