Quick Wear: Reversing Life

Chapter 2: Desperate Housewives’ Counterattack (02)

Cheng Yu had just finished a meeting when he received Cheng Hao's call.

Cheng Hao called Cheng Yu and told him to go home quickly. When asked why, he didn't say anything, just mumbling that his mother had become strange. Cheng Yu pinched his brows tiredly.

Fortunately, the operations of the branch here are gradually getting back on track and I will be able to go home soon.

It was several days later that Cheng Yu returned home. Cheng Hao had already gone to bed, and Liu Xinyan had not returned yet. He called her, but no one answered.

It seems that Liu Xinyan's recent condition is indeed very strange.

Although the two have been married for nearly seventeen years, Cheng Yu doesn't know Liu Xinyan very well. He only knows that Liu Xinyan cares deeply about her precious son and that she oversees everything related to Cheng Hao. Due to work, Cheng Yu rarely has time to spend with Cheng Hao, and Liu Xinyan has overseen Cheng Hao's growth and learning. Although Cheng Hao often complains to Cheng Yu about Liu Xinyan's strict management, as the heir, Cheng Yu sees Liu Xinyan's strictness as a good thing.

Since Cheng Hao was born, Cheng Yu rarely spent time alone with Liu Xinyan. To him, Liu Xinyan was just the mother of his child.

Cheng Yu sat in the living room, silently waiting for Liu Xinyan to come back late. It was almost one o'clock, and Liu Xinyan still hadn't come back. Cheng Yu called Liu Xinyan again, but before the call went through, he heard some movement at the entrance.

Putting down his phone, Cheng Yu walked towards the entrance. When he saw a beautiful figure, he was stunned.

The Liu Xinyan I remember was a woman who wore plain, conservative suits and had long, formal hair. After marriage, she devoted herself entirely to her children, spending her days in the kitchen devising nutritious meals. She was a plain-faced, middle-aged woman. She wasn't the beautiful woman before me, adorned in a sequined halter dress and delicately applied makeup, as dazzling as a vibrant peony.

When Liu Xinyan saw the man who suddenly appeared in her house, she thought for a moment that she was still drunk. It took her a while to realize that this should be her husband who was as good as dead while alive.

"Ayan, you forgot to take your bag." At the door, You Yue suddenly opened the door, half holding the bag that Liu Xinyan had just bought.

"Oh, I forgot, thank you." Liu Xinyan reacted and took her bag.

You Yue also saw Cheng Yu standing in front of the entrance, and guessed that he must be Liu Xinyan's husband. She didn't stay for long, closed the door and left.

You Yue's appearance broke the silence between the two.

"Cheng Hao told me that you are often not at home these days." After a moment of silence, Cheng Yu looked at Liu Xinyan and said.

Liu Xinyan was changing her shoes. The strappy high-heeled sandals were a little difficult to take off. Cheng Yu watched her movements. When she squatted down, her entire thighs were exposed. Her white skin was very eye-catching in the dim entrance.

After taking off her shoes, Liu Xinyan finally realized what Cheng Yu had just said. She walked past Cheng Yu to the island, poured herself a glass of water, and said, "Compared to you, I'm not even halfway home."

These words sounded suggestive, and Cheng Yu frowned. He rarely communicated with Liu Xinyan to begin with, and now that she had changed, it became even harder. He watched in silence as Liu Xinyan finished her drink, swaying her drunken body, her two slender, white legs folded and swaying, and then she swayed into the elevator across from the entrance. The moment the elevator door closed, Liu Xinyan raised her eyes and met Cheng Yu's.

The blurred eyes seemed to have an invisible hook, and there were still some residual sparkles on the eyelids, reflecting the light in the elevator, which was particularly beautiful.

Cheng Yu was stunned again, watching the elevator door close.

Liu Xinyan didn't care about Cheng Yu. She was very sleepy now. She just wanted to take off her makeup, take a shower and go to bed.

While I was removing my makeup, I heard Cheng Yu enter the room.

This was the second time Cheng Yu was silent tonight. When he opened the door of his room, he saw that his previously neat and spacious bedroom had changed. The bedding on the bed was replaced with a warm-colored silk quilt cover, and women's clothes were thrown on the quilt. The books on the table where he used to work were gone, replaced by rows of bottles and jars, and the woman was sitting there removing her makeup.

Seeing a piece of women's lace underwear thrown on the bedside, Cheng Yu couldn't hold it in anymore.

"What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Liu Xinyan thought his question was inexplicable. "You don't come back often, and it's a waste to leave the master bedroom empty. Besides, I have no place to hang my clothes. Can't I change rooms with you?"

"I put all your things in the guest bedroom. I didn't throw them around."

Cheng Yu fell silent again. When he turned around, he saw that the floor of the cloakroom was piled with shopping bags of all sizes, and there were also several pairs of pointed high heels. These were definitely not shoes that Liu Xinyan would wear. They looked sharp and sexy.

Yes, sexy.

Cheng Yu finally grasped the key words, Liu Xinyan became particularly sexy.

Her original long, straight black hair was dyed a cold brown and permed into big curls. Her every move and gesture seemed like a completely different person. She looked like a cat, and even the way she removed her makeup was like elegant frames in a movie.

Liu Xinyan finished removing her makeup and was about to zip up the back of her suspenders when she turned her head to find Cheng Yu still standing at the door. She asked curiously, "Is there anything else? I need to change my clothes."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yu had no choice but to leave the room and close the door.

-

The next morning, Cheng Yu found a stranger at home. It was Chen Ma. She brought out plates of breakfast from the kitchen and placed them on the long table. The breakfast was very rich, with both Chinese and Western food.

He probably felt it was strange, and then he finally and slowly realized that Liu Xinyan had really changed.

It was already half past eight after breakfast, and Liu Xinyan had not come downstairs yet. Cheng Yu couldn't wait for her, so he had to send Cheng Hao to school first, and then go to the company for a meeting.

Cheng Hao seemed to be in a good mood about Cheng Yu's return. He looked at Cheng Yu, who was looking at the financial statements on a tablet, and asked, "Dad, did you see Mom last night?"

"Ah."

"Well, did you see the person who brought Mom back?" Cheng Hao scratched his head, wanting to remind her tactfully, but he didn't know how to be tactful. "Mom has been acting strangely lately. She doesn't pay much attention to me."

"Isn't this good?" Cheng Yu replied indifferently.

"It's good, but it's too weird." Cheng Hao thought about it and found it very strange. Besides, he was about to take the high school entrance examination, and his mother actually changed her personality at this critical juncture. It was really strange.

But then he thought again, his mother no longer cared about him, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Liu Xinyan slept until ten o'clock. When Aunt Chen saw her coming downstairs, she brought out her portion of bird's nest, white fungus and lotus seed soup from the kitchen as usual.

After being active for a few days, the wives' circle in City S suddenly contacted her and invited her to attend the wives' afternoon tea party yesterday.

Liu Xinyan has always been too lazy to pay attention to irrelevant people outside the mission. After finding a random reason to refuse, she saw You Yue's WeChat pop up.

You Yue: Are you awake? That person yesterday was your husband.

Liu: Yeah

You Yue: So handsome? You two are living on preservatives, right?

Seeing this, Liu Xinyan chuckled.

Although Cheng Yu is already forty years old, he is tall and has an upright posture. In addition, he pays great attention to his body management. He does not have the decadence and greasy feeling of a middle-aged man. He exudes the temperament of a powerful superior. Just the faint look in his eyes makes people feel awe.

Moreover, Cheng Yu himself is good-looking, with distinct facial features and clear and smooth facial contours. Putting aside the temperament of a CEO, his appearance made him the dream man of every socialite and rich girl in the upper class circle at that time.

Thinking of this, Liu Xinyan thought of Chang Ling. She didn't know why Chang Ling gave up her childhood sweetheart and married someone else.

Maybe this is the classic story of childhood sweethearts being unable to resist the gift from heaven.

As a tasker, the development and cognition of the world all come from what the client feels and knows. In other words, Liu Xinyan's current understanding of the entire incident comes entirely from the original owner's memory, rather than looking at the entire incident from a God's perspective.

Therefore, when doing tasks, it is often necessary for the host to understand the relevant people who can help the development of the task.

In other words, in addition to keeping an eye on Cheng Hao, Liu Xinyan also needs to understand Chang Ling's daughter Chang Xiner.

However, Chang Xiner will not transfer from City B to the school where Cheng Hao is currently studying until she is in the first year of high school. Cheng Hao is about to take the high school entrance examination and will get to know Chang Xiner in September.

In the original owner's memory, Cheng Hao, who was only 25 years old, suddenly announced that he would marry Chang Xiner. As for their previous relationship, she knew nothing about it.

But it’s only May now, so there’s no rush.

Thinking of this, Liu Xinyan began to feel at ease and asked Youyue if she was free to go shopping. Because of Cheng Yu's sudden appearance, Liu Xinyan suddenly remembered that Cheng Yu had given her a secondary card when they first got married, but the original owner had never used that card.

Thinking about how she had been swiping her own card these days, Liu Xinyan felt that she was really stupid. The secondary card was bound to Cheng Yu's main card, and there was no upper limit. Why not take advantage of this opportunity?

-

You Yue was busy preparing for her new film and was looking for investors. The bar she frequented was a hive of rich second-generations, mostly those with lots of money. And Liu Xinyan, it seemed, had the most.

When sending Liu Xinyan back to Xinghewan for the first time, You Yue was not wrong.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xinyan was not only married, but her son was already this big.

You Yue's family was not short of money, but she didn't want to spend it either. She approached Liu Xinyan and asked her if she was interested in film and television investment.

Film and television investment is the most popular these days. Anything related to the entertainment industry is profitable.

Liu Xinyan is particularly interested in new things.

The system saw that its host started doing things unrelated to the mission, but did not care. This was the normal operation of the host. As long as the mission could be completed, the system generally would not interfere with anything the host did in the mission world.

As long as there is no killing or arson, and no interference with the normal operation of the world, the general system will not take action.

Liu Xinyan was chatting enthusiastically with You Yue. She didn't know much about investment, but You Yue was the first person she met in this world who was to her liking. Knowing that she was looking for sponsorship, she invested 1 million in her without hesitation.

You Yue originally just wanted to give it a try when she mentioned this to Liu Xinyan, but she didn't expect Liu Xinyan to be so generous. Instead, it made her take it seriously. She asked her assistant to bring the plan, put it in front of Liu Xinyan, and carefully report the production process to her.

Most of the commissions Liu Xinyan had previously accepted were from ordinary people at the bottom of society. Their wishes were nothing more than regrets they couldn't fulfill or forget. Once the system determined their wish had been fulfilled, they would be removed from the world, rarely encountering anything beyond the mission. Thanks to the timeline, she had ample opportunities to understand this world.

It was Liu Xinyan’s first time to learn about film production, and she listened very carefully. She even followed You Yue to the audition site to select the characters.

You Yue was a new director, and she boldly decided to cast an all-new cast. Thanks to Liu Xinyan's investment, the film's preparations were well-funded, and auditions were held at several media schools.

As the largest investor, You Yue treated Liu Xinyan very seriously. She reported the progress to Liu Xinyan from time to time and also invited Liu Xinyan to visit the site.

During this period, Liu Xinyan went out early and came back late every day, and seemed to be busier than the CEO Cheng Yu. One day, Cheng Yu returned home after a day of meetings and met Liu Xinyan, who was dressed neatly, going out.

It was past nine in the evening. Liu Xinyan was wearing a soft, loose-fitting white V-neck top, revealing her delicate collarbone and rounded shoulders. She wore a camel-colored printed straight skirt. Her hair was tied back, and she wore a pair of large, golden, antique Xiangjia earrings. It was a beautiful outfit. Cheng Yu took a few glances and asked, "Where are you going so late?"

"I have an appointment with Youyue to discuss something." Liu Xinyan said.

Cheng Yu knew what she had been doing recently, and didn't take this kind of petty play seriously. "Cheng Hao is about to take the high school entrance exam, so you should stay at home and take care of him more."

Liu Xinyan had already put on her shoes and was about to go out. When she heard this, she stopped and said in surprise, "I've been taking care of him for 15 years, so a few days won't make a difference. Besides, aren't you at home?"

Liu Xinyan found it amusing: "Cheng Hao is my son, and also your son. In the past, you were busy with Ruida's transformation and expansion into overseas markets. I didn't say anything when you didn't come home for several months. I have been taking care of Cheng Hao since he was born. Now that he has grown up, it is your turn to teach him."

Cheng Yu knew that he was at a disadvantage when it came to raising children at home. He could handle the world of fame and fortune with ease and be decisive in the business world, but when it came to his marriage, he couldn't even say a word and just watched Liu Xinyan walk out the door with her bag.

After passing through the entrance hall, I saw Cheng Hao standing in the atrium holding a glass of water.

Cheng Hao was stunned when he heard these conversations. He said he was not sad, but was just surprised that his mother had the courage to argue with his father about the issue of education.

This would have been impossible in the past. Liu Xinyan could make the final decision on small matters in the family, but Cheng Yu always made the decisions on big matters.

When parents have a dispute, the only ones who are truly suffering are the children caught in the middle. Cheng Hao doesn't want to offend his father at this time, so he turns around and leaves to go back to his room to read.

Cheng Yu was too lazy to explain that the conflict between him and Liu Xinyan had nothing to do with Cheng Hao. He could sense that Liu Xinyan was actually dissatisfied with him. To be honest, Liu Xinyan did not receive any care and understanding from her husband.

Cheng Hao is so old now, and it was indeed Liu Xinyan who worked hard to raise him over the years.

Cheng Yu thought that he should try to be nicer to Liu Xinyan.
