Reborn in the Entertainment Industry: Second Life

"Take it, let's go."

Bo Bing casually tossed his bank card aside, startling Bo Yuntian who frantically tried to catch it, drawing frequent attention from those around them to the lively two brothers.

"Brother, how could you throw things around like that? This is a bank card!"

"Didn't you catch it?"

Bo Yuntian was so angry at Bo Bing's indifferent words that he wanted to take him to the hospital to have his head checked. When he turned around, he saw Bo Bing respectfully handing another bank card to his mother. This differential treatment made him even angrier.

"Xiaobing, this... Auntie can't accept this... Auntie hasn't given you much money at all..."

"Keep it. This is money for Xiaoyun to rent a house and study. Give the old man some money for drinks every month when you have time. Don't give him too much. If you don't have time, just ignore him."

Li Yumei looked up at Bo Bing, who kept calling him a "dead old man," and felt that the once gentle child had really changed.

"Brother, how much money is on the card?"

As soon as Bo Yuntian opened his mouth, he was glared at fiercely by his mother.

Go see for yourself.

Watching the boy with his first card run away, Bo Bing straightened his expression.

"Auntie, there's 6 plus a fraction on this card, and the PIN is six 8s."

Li Yumei's eyes widened immediately.

"This money..."

"Let's pay off the neighbor's debt first, and leave the rest for Xiaoyun," Bo Bing sighed. She felt a little depressed, perhaps due to her body's natural reaction. "Auntie, you saw it. That drunkard almost smashed my head open today. What if he gets drunk one day and does something like this before Xiaoyun's college entrance exam?"

Li Yumei was stunned by what she was told.

Yes, Bo Xiaolong could even harm his own son, let alone Xiaoyun...

“Xiaoyun is a good student, we can’t let anything happen to her,” Bo Bing said, stuffing the card into Li Yumei’s hand. “Although that old man is afraid of Xiaoyun’s uncle, if he gets drunk and something happens to Xiaoyun, it will be no use causing trouble for him.”

Li Yumei's face paled. Bo Bing's words made sense. She was already struggling to afford Xiaoyun's school fees, while Xiaoyun's peers had after-school classes and new clothes... She still had to rely on her family...

"Consider it a loan from your aunt..."

"No need. If Xiaoyun becomes successful in the future, I will also be proud of her."

Bo Bing chuckled, making Li Yumei keep looking him over.

It had been half a year since she last saw Bo Bing. The good-tempered and gentle young man from last time had now become sharp and assertive.

She had also heard that children in school and children in society are completely different. Coupled with her disappointment in her father, the current Bo Bing is completely different from the child she remembered.

This can be considered a positive change.

"Brother, you're amazing... eight thousand yuan... I have so much money now... so much money..."

Bo Yuntian was standing next to Bo Bing, still in shock, and he even endured being held in someone's arms and having his fur stroked repeatedly.

Bo Bing still enjoys the feeling of being admired.

The group strolled to the department store, where Bo Bing quickly got a new phone, inserted two SIM cards, and, with Alpha's help, added back her main contacts on WeChat.

Without hesitation, he also bought Bo Yuntian a new cell phone. It was secondhand and cost a little over a thousand yuan. It was much better than his old, broken cell phone. Bo Yuntian looked at it again and again, and loved it.

"I gave you these study materials, so don't let me find out you're secretly playing games, or else..."

"Okay, thanks, bro."

Bo Bing went to the mall, picked out some clothes she could wear, and bought some daily necessities, which she then packed up and took away.

The group ate at a roadside food stall and took a lot of food home with them.

Before getting off the bus, Li Yumei didn't forget to give some instructions.

"Xiaofeng, I'll have to trouble you with finding a house for Xiaoyun..."

"Don't worry, Second Sister, I'll never forget you after we ate your meal. If you've found a good place to move in in a few days," Li Feng laughed heartily.

The neighbors were used to seeing Li Feng, saying that the drunkard was always beating the children and cursing his wife, and that all three of them were unfortunate people who had no choice but to ask Li Feng for help.

Li Yumei repaid the money she had borrowed from her neighbor, Sister Hu, over the past six months. Because Li Feng had visited, the neighbor assumed that Li Yumei's family had come and given her some money. Still worried, she reminded Li Yumei to be careful that Bo Xiaolong might steal the money and gamble it away. Sister Hu also kindly told Li Yumei that she could come to her house for a meal if she needed anything.

Looking at Bo Bing with her head wrapped in gauze and Bo Yuntian opening the door with his head down, the neighbors who had been watching the commotion silently felt sorry for the two good children and their wives.

When Li Feng got home, his wife discovered two packs of cigarettes and a nice set of cosmetics on the back seat.

"China...Lanzhou..."

Wang Lanzhi pulled something out of the black bag. "Li Feng, you bastard, you just went out to buy cigarettes? You dare to buy such expensive cigarettes as Zhonghua?"

"What? What kind of cigarette?"

"Where did your money come from...? Here's more, what is it? Cosmetics... and they're not cheap..."

Li Feng thought of the deep-thinking young man in the back seat earlier that day and immediately understood.

“This was bought by Xiaoyun’s brother,” he said, scratching his head. “My second sister asked me to look around for a house near Xiaoyun’s school so I could rent one for her.”

"Xiaoyun's brother? Which brother?"

"Bo Bing, the good kid who protected Xiao Yun and Yu Mei before, has come back from working outside for the New Year."

Wang Lanzhi had met Bo Bing once before at Bo Xiaolong's house. In her memory, Bo Bing was a kind-hearted child who didn't like to talk.

"They're all relatives, why are you accepting their gifts?"

Despite her complaints, Wang Lanzhi happily accepted the cosmetics. She had seen the city girls in her workplace use this set, which cost one or two hundred yuan. It was a brand that city people loved to use, and she had never been willing to buy it before.

"So obedient at such a young age. Keep an eye on the house for Yumei and Xiaoyun, and invite the three of them over for dinner next time."

"Honey, what about my cigarettes..."

Li Feng smiled ingratiatingly.

"I'll keep the Zhonghua cigarettes and leave them here, you can keep the Lanzhou cigarettes for yourself..."

Li Feng was happy to accept it.

I was thinking to myself, "No wonder he's a kid who's entered society; he's learned so much about social interactions. And you know what, this kid, he really knows how to give a gift appropriately."

A set of cosmetics was given to Wang Lanzhi, along with two packs of cigarettes. One pack of Zhonghua cigarettes was for show, while the other pack of Lanzhou cigarettes had no collectible value and would inevitably end up in Li Feng's hands.

It has both substance and appearance.

The other side is a rental house.

Bo Xiaolong's snoring was deafening.

Li Yumei went to sleep in the living room, leaving the two brothers to sleep in the remaining room.

"Brother, I feel like you've changed..."

Bo Bing's heart skipped a beat; this guy was surprisingly observant. But it was understandable; she was quite familiar with the two little beasts licking each other's wounds from her memory.

Once he calmed down, who would believe that he was no longer the original owner of this body?

Tell me, what's different?

"It just feels... bro, the way you talk lately is kind of scary..."

“You’ll have to do the same when you enter society,” Bo Bing made up a reason, “otherwise you’ll be eaten alive…”

He had suffered a lot of losses in the underworld when he was driving a truck, and he knew that navigating the underworld was not a fun thing to do, so he was quite envious of people like Bo Yuntian who had the opportunity to go to school.

Bo Yuntian hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Even though the person lying beside him was exactly as he remembered, the distance between them still made him purse his lips.

At 17, he was no longer an immature young boy.

My brother must have suffered a lot to become like this. Last time I went home, he still had wounds from being beaten up. I was afraid of hurting his pride, so I didn't dare ask him. Besides, he was in a daze back then and didn't talk much. Now he probably has a better understanding of things, because he looks much more energetic.

Therefore, he carefully considered his words.

"Brother... have you been bullied outside? If that agency isn't good for you, come back. I'll ask Mom to ask Uncle to find you a job in the city... so you won't have to work so hard..."

He turned his head and saw Bo Bing's gloomy gaze, and his whole body trembled.

"I didn't mean anything by it, bro, I just saw those psychotropic drugs you threw in the trash can last time..."

Bo Bing calmed down. This kid really knew how to read people's expressions, but it also reminded him of something.

The trainees at the agency were not exactly friendly to the original owner of this body.

The original owner's depression was most likely related to them.

"Don't worry," Bo Bing was a very loyal and righteous person, otherwise he wouldn't have had so many brothers who were willing to go to great lengths for him in his previous life. He was very grateful for his younger brother's kindness. "I won't eat anymore."

Bo Yuntian was finally relieved.

"Once I make a lot of money, I will take good care of you, brother, and my mother."

Bo Yuntian made a vow with tears in his eyes.
