I transmigrated into the villain's white moonlight, but the protagonist is my brother.

Secretary Xiao He sat in the hospital corridor, staring blankly at the television.

The TV was switched to the entertainment channel by some nurse, and the host, speaking with a Taiwanese accent, was reporting the biggest news of the year—popular actress Bai Zhiwei publicly admitted to her relationship, losing 200,000 male fans overnight.

Bai Zhiwei's new drama was very popular a while ago, and the on-screen couple she and the male lead were also very popular. Now, many fans of the on-screen couple have stopped supporting her, and Bai Zhiwei's name once topped the trending searches.

In response, a livestreamer cornered Bai Zhiwei on set and asked her if she had anything to say. The woman in the video looked straight at the camera, seemingly unaffected, still impeccably groomed, her eyes brimming with vitality and ambition.

The television screen was playing her words to the camera amidst the crowd: "I want to say, focus more on my talent and work, and stay away from my private life. My choices are none of anyone else's business."

Secretary He was thrilled. So powerful! No wonder she's his goddess! Goddess Weiwei!

While slacking off, he immediately took out his phone, opened the hashtag, and posted: "Sisters, block this marketing account! He's saying bad things about Weiwei and spreading rumors about her!"

Before long, the comments below responded in unison.

......

Yang Huiyun turned down the volume of the TV in the ward and bent down to peel an apple for Shen Yan.

He hadn't been to the company for a long time, and a pile of tasks had piled up for him to handle. He was busy with one online meeting after another, and didn't even have time to eat.

The sliced ​​apple was placed beside Shen Yan. He looked up and saw Yang Huiyun, smiled slightly, but still didn't touch it.

The pain pump didn't seem to be working; he was in so much pain that he had no appetite.

One person on the other end of the computer said, "The pilot program to abolish pre-sale housing started in the northern part of the city, putting us in a very passive position."

Another person seconded, "According to the marketing department's calculations, the payment cycle will be forced to extend by at least two years. During the same period, the central bank will raise interest rates, causing loan interest rates to skyrocket, and payments for construction projects will have to be made using up existing savings."

It's often said that businessmen have a sharp eye, but actually, doing business isn't about foresight; it's about betting on which policy will open a window for you.

Policies are never targeted at any one individual or company, but rather at the overall adjustment of the industry. In recent years, high-priced pre-sale properties have often become unfinished projects, and it is not uncommon for homeowners to have nowhere to turn for help or even to commit suicide in protest. Therefore, the current policy requiring that buildings can only be sold after the structure is completed is certainly a good thing for ordinary people.

However, this policy has had a devastating impact on the real estate industry, causing headaches even for leading companies like Future Real Estate, let alone smaller companies.

The young man's voice was calm and unhurried, "What's the rush? This is just a pilot program in the north city. Projects in other areas are still generating revenue as usual; we haven't reached the point of living off past savings."

"But......"

"I've been selling off some commercial real estate these past few days; I'll send you the detailed documents via email."

"Yes, Mr. Shen."

Xie Yan was pleasantly surprised to see Yang Huiyun, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, sitting on the sofa as soon as she entered the door. "Aunt Yang."

Yang Huiyun and Shen Yan turned to look at her at the same time. She smiled and said, "Xiao Xie, you're here?"

Yang Huiyun had already heard from Secretary He that Shen Yan had been brought to the hospital by Xie Yan. She simply assumed that the two of them, who had broken up before, had reconciled, and she was genuinely happy about it.

The two were incredibly friendly upon meeting. Yang Huiyun held Xie Yan's hand and sat down together, her smile deepening the wrinkles around her eyes.

"Ahem..." The meeting had ended sometime earlier, the laptop was closed, and Shen Yan coughed lightly twice. Xie Yan looked over and saw him looking at her with his lips pursed.

Seeing this, Yang Huiyun smiled knowingly and wanted to make room for the young couple, but then she remembered that she still had something to say. Seeing that Shen Yan had finally finished his work, she quickly told him her plan.

A few years ago, she couldn't stay idle while retiring, so she opened a small shop. But now that she's older, she feels a bit overwhelmed and wants to sell the shop and quit. Shen Yan and Xie Yan both wholeheartedly agreed.

But then Yang Huiyun added, "Your Uncle Zhang said he wants to go back to his hometown, which happens to be in Jianghai. I thought the climate there was good and suitable for retirement..."

She paused, then didn't continue.

Over the years, Xiao Yan has been helping her. He even helped her open a hotel when she was still in school, and later brought her to Beicheng to take care of her. You could say that even a biological son wouldn't be this filial.

Xiao Yan is currently in the hospital and will have surgery in the next few days, so she needs to be taken care of. She really doesn't want to leave, but Zhi Hong is urging her to go back and meet his friends.

"Does Auntie want to go back to retire?" Shen Yan remained noncommittal. "I do own several villas in Jianghai, but if you go back, there will be no one to take care of you. However, I can..."

"No need, I'm not going back. I'm fine here."

Yang Huiyun smiled and stood up. "I'm going out to make a phone call. You guys chat."

The room fell silent. Xie Yan's gaze inadvertently fell on the slightly oxidized and yellowed apple slices, clearly cut by Yang Huiyun. She suddenly said, "Thank you for taking care of Mom for so long."

In the original novel, Yang Huiyun is the most tragic character of all, and after losing her child, she chooses to end her life by committing suicide.

Yang Huiyun now has assets and security, and is definitely a hundred times happier than her original ending, all because of Shen Yan.

Hearing this, Shen Yan smiled and said, "I've spent more time with Aunt Yang than you have; she's family to me too."

He also has relatives.

Seeing his smug smile and the way his eyes crinkled, Xie Yan felt a warmth in her heart. "I heard from Secretary He that you didn't eat today?"

"Why does he tell you all this?"

“I gave him a signed photo of Bai Zhiwei; he’s now my mole.”

"..."

On the coffee table sat chicken soup that Yang Huiyun had brought from home, stored in a thermos. The temperature was just right. Xie Yan ladled some into a bowl and brought it to Shen Yan, saying, "Get up and have some soup."

Unexpectedly, Shen Yan leaned back and began acting, "The patient is weak and needs to be fed."

"..." Xie Yan was truly amazed. She really wanted to call Secretary He in to see how her wise, powerful, cold, and ruthless boss could act cute.

It took half an hour to feed her a bowl of chicken soup, spoonful by spoonful. Shen Yan drank it like a cat, taking small sips while watching her. Xie Yan's ears turned red from his gaze, but her face remained serious.

"Our project will officially end tomorrow, and we probably won't be coming to your research base anymore."

"Oh." Shen Yan showed little interest in the topic and pulled Xie Yan onto the bed. As usual, he rubbed his head against Xie Yan's hair. "It's okay, if you don't come, I'll come find you."

Xie Yan was used to hearing him say that and didn't take it seriously. She just didn't expect that this time, it would actually come true the very next day.
