I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

Cai Yi completely ignored the people behind him and stepped into the villa, where he saw Cheng Wan standing quietly in the stairwell.

The girl's face was as cold and aloof as jade, her slightly furrowed brows conveying a sense of fragility, her eyes lowered and her long eyelashes trembling slightly, adding to her delicate and tender beauty.

"Ahem." She coughed softly, her slender, jade-like fingers touching her lips, and said with concern, "Sister, where have you been? We were so worried."

As she spoke, she slowly walked downstairs, her every move exuding elegance.

Caiyi narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled, "Going out for a stroll, sis~"

The way she addressed her as "sister" so affectionately surprised Cheng Wan.

She walked up to Caiyi and placed her hand on her forehead: "You've just recovered from your illness, don't run around, okay?"

Cai Yi grabbed Cheng Wan's hand and placed it on her stomach, her tone sarcastic: "I had a D&C procedure, not a brain injury, sister~"

Cheng Wan's cool eyes suddenly widened as she looked at Baili Tu in disbelief: "A-Tu, you're telling me my sister has a fever?"

Why did you lie to me?

Towards the end, Cheng Wan's voice trembled with a hint of sobs and grievance.

Baili Tu glanced at Caiyi's expression and found that she was just smiling calmly, without any of her usual jealousy.

I couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.

He stepped forward to help Cheng Wan up, a hint of guilt on his face. He had been using Cheng Wan to test Cheng Xin's true feelings for him, and in the process, Cheng Wan inevitably fell in love with him, so he couldn't help but feel guilty.

Because he didn't love Cheng Wan, he was just using her.

"Snapped!"

Cheng Wan pushed Baili Tu's hand away and slapped him.

Tears welled up in her clear, cold eyes, staining her long eyelashes. Her voice was filled with hurt vulnerability: "A-Tu, how could you... how could you lie to me!"

"You told me that she only had a fever, and that I could focus on the piano competition..."

"That's my only family member, why did you lie to me..."

Even if I... even if I like it...

Cheng Wan swallowed her last words. She raised her hand to wipe away the tears in her eyes, suppressed her grief, and left the villa.

Baili Tu glanced at Cai Yi, who was smiling, but still chose to rush out the door and chase after Cheng Wan.

Cheng Xin is his wife, and they have a long life together. Cheng Wan has nothing but his exploitation. He has to find her and prevent anything from happening to her.

Caiyi watched the madman's departing figure and chuckled softly.

The chubby boy looked at his mother, who seemed a little unfamiliar, and subconsciously tugged at her skirt, saying in a commanding tone, "I'm hungry, I want to eat."

Caiyi pulled up her skirt and said irritably, "Go find your dad if you're hungry, what are you doing calling me?"

Upon hearing this, the chubby boy angrily shouted, "Who cares about your cooking!"

“My mother will buy me delicious food, I don’t want you, you bad woman.”

Caiyi bent down, her charming eyes crinkling with laughter, and pinched the chubby boy's cheek hard: "Eat more, pigs usually eat a lot."

The chubby boy exploded, instinctively wanting to kick Caiyi: "You're the pig!"

Caiyi stepped directly on his leg.

The chubby little boy, with his round, white face scrunched up, sat on the ground in pain, clutching his chest and crying out, then burst into loud sobs.

Caiyi went to the kitchen, made some simple food, and it was ready in a few tens of minutes.

She carried the food out of the kitchen, while Baili Ming was still sitting on the floor, wailing loudly, with the nanny comforting him beside him.

Seeing Caiyi, the nanny said with a hint of resentment, "The young master is still your son. If you don't take care of him, the master will blame us when he finds out."

Caiyi: "What does that have to do with me?"

After saying that, she planned to go upstairs to her room.

Baili Ming stopped crying and looked at Caiyi, who was about to go upstairs, and called out, "If you feed me the food, I will forgive you."

Baili Ming naturally assumed that the dishes Cai Yi was holding were prepared for him, because that's how it always was.

His mother was worried about his health, so she always cooked for him herself.

Cai Yi chuckled: "You're dreaming."

Then he went upstairs without looking back, ignoring Baili Ming who started yelling and wailing again behind him.

Cai Yi closed the door, tapped on his phone, ate his food, and began to think. This was Suzhou, and his phone showed that Suzhou was the domain of the Baili Group.

Most of their power is concentrated here.

In this situation, it would be very difficult for her to contact her family by calling the police, because nine times out of ten, calling the police would lead to the situation we see today.

That was truly agonizing and time-consuming.

Once you try and fail too many times, the probability of Baili Tu going crazy is very high.

She had to think of another way.

Before we figure out a solution, let's improve our physical fitness first.

Thinking of the potential wealth here, he quickened his pace of eating. After finishing his meal, he handed the tableware to the nanny downstairs, then went back to his room, locked the door, and began exercising.

……

The piano room at the Cheng family villa.

Upon opening the door, the first thing that catches the eye is an incredibly magnificent piano.

It stood there quietly, its body gleaming with a warm luster, the black lacquer as mysterious as the deep night sky; the white keys, like sparkling stars, were embedded within, shining brightly.

Cheng Wan approached the piano and gently stroked the lid. Her fingertips felt a delicate, smooth touch, as if she could touch the traces left by time.

She sat on the piano bench, adjusted her posture, slowly placed her hands on the keys, closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then gently pressed the first note.

Suddenly, the whole world fell silent, with only beautiful music flowing gently in the air.

Her piano playing was beautiful and superb.

Baili Tu stood quietly outside the door; the door separated them as if they were in two different worlds.

He listened to the music and was momentarily immersed in it.

He wavered for a moment, but eventually came to his senses. He pounded on the door, interrupting the melodious piano music.

A hint of annoyance flashed in Cheng Wan's eyes. She withdrew her hand, the music had been forcibly stopped, and she could not continue.

She opened the door, her face a cold and hurt expression: "What are you doing here?"

Looking into her eyes, Baili Tu said with a hint of guilt, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you."

"How can you miss such an important piano competition because of Cheng Xin?"

“Cheng Xin is always misleading you; you can’t let her influence you.”

Cheng Wan: "Then tell me, did my sister catch a cold or have a D&C procedure?"

"I just want to hear the truth, don't lie to me."

Baili Tu: "It's... a D&C procedure."

Cheng Wan: "You just lost a child, and you're coming with me to the competition?"

"A-Tu, what are you thinking?"

"You're only pushing your sister further away!"

After Cheng Wan finished speaking, she carefully observed his expression and noticed his furrowed brows.

He felt a little anxious; it had been almost ten years, and he still liked Cheng Xin.

She's already in her thirties, her talent has been exhausted, and she can only rely on hard work, but the piano is an expensive instrument.

When she was unable to maintain the Cheng family's power, she still took care of the piano. So she secretly sold a lot of shares to maintain her piano. Her piano was always brand new for every competition and was never used a second time.

A piano costs millions, and only the best matches her, meaning each of her pianos costs tens of millions.

The most expensive one cost over 100 million, and it was a gift from Baili Tu.

Therefore, the Cheng family is now no different from an empty shell.

She needs to marry Baili Tu as soon as possible; the only obstacle between them is Cheng Xin!

She needs to deal with her as soon as possible!
