Chapter 493: 492: Luo Xiaolang’s Live Broadcast Interrupted (Second Update)

Ji Baixin held the phone, asking, “What account did you just mention?”

Wu Meili, in a panic, quickly said, “It’s about a self-media fee from the Milky Way. The Chairman asked me to go to Finance tomorrow to get the funds transferred, but I just noticed that there is a digit missing, so I wanted to check if the Chairman sent me the wrong account. Since the Chairman is not there right now, I’ll call him later.”

“No need, he’ll be resting soon. I’ll pass on what you just said to Yin Qin.”

“Then… thank you for your trouble.”

“You’re welcome.”

“I won’t disturb your rest.” Wu Meili said sweetly.

“Goodbye.”

“Goodbye.”

Wu Meili hung up the phone, her face instantly changing.

She prayed silently, hoping that her boss wouldn’t be so foolish as to expose her lie.

While praying, she was cursing internally.

Damn it.

The chairman is a piece of trash, quickly going off to another mistress without considering what hardships Luo Xiaolang is going through right now.

Scumbag!

He’s absolutely a scumbag.

When Ji Baixin hung up the phone, she was about to put down Yin Qin’s phone but paused for a moment.

Feeling some unknown emotions, she input a few numbers into Yin Qin’s lock screen passcode.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yin Qin’s lock screen is quite simple; she glanced at it unintentionally once.

Six 8’s – he thinks it’s too troublesome to create a complicated password.

The screen unlocked.

Ji Baixin looked at the apps on Yin Qin’s phone, all in a mess with no organization. She wondered how Yin Qin even managed to find these apps.

She glanced at the direction of the bathroom, thinking that she was rather bored at the moment. Rather than being so tense, it might be better to distract herself by doing something.

She played with Yin Qin’s phone, sorting his apps.

In the process of organizing, her hand unintentionally opened a live-stream app. Because Yin Qin had closed the app directly without closing the sign-in window, as soon as she opened the app, she saw the live stream and Luo Xiaolang on the screen.

Ji Baixin’s face immediately changed.

All of her guilt vanished.

Why was Yin Qin still watching Luo Xiaolang’s live stream, why?!

What kind of feelings does he still harbor for Luo Xiaolang?!

Did Yin Qin no longer like her?

She swallowed her inner fury, exited the app, and opened the chat history between Yin Qin and Wu Meili.

She hadn’t given it much thought at first, but now it dawned on her.

As expected.

What self-media fee? It was a payment to Luo Xiaolang.

The 5 million for Luo Xiaolang!

The account holder’s name was clearly written.

She suppressed her feelings, suppressed them.

Then, Yin Qin emerged from the bathroom after his shower.

In reality, he had taken much longer than usual to shower.

He was going through some emotions himself.

He had been waiting for Ji Baixin for many years. From the moment he became aware of his feelings, even his first dream was about Ji Baixin. He spent the whole night washing his underwear, appearing blissful even during such an embarrassing situation.

But now, was he truly excited?

He should be somewhat excited, just not as purely as before. He didn’t know where his slight feeling of rejection came from.

Fortunately, it was only a slight feeling, and he was still able to act positively as he walked out of the bathroom.

The moment he stepped out of the bathroom, he felt a tense atmosphere in the living room.

He saw Ji Baixin holding his phone with an incredibly awful expression.

He walked over.

As he approached, he saw his chat history with Wu Meili displayed on the phone screen in Ji Baixin’s hand.

His face hardened.

Ji Baixin turned to look at Yin Qin, “Our quarrel this morning, it seems, had no effect on you. You do whatever you want, you want to keep in touch with Luo Xiaolang, so you do it…”

“Luo Xiaolang gave birth to my son, regardless of how it happened, it’s a fact. I don’t see anything wrong with compensating her! Not just this once, if Luo Xiaolang needs it, I will keep giving her money! Ji Baixin, when we were together, you knew that I already had a child with Luo Xiaolang, so why care about this now?! Whether it’s 5 million or 50 million, if you want it, I can give you even more!” Yin Qin was also finding it hard to suppress his anger at that moment.

He really didn’t understand why Ji Baixin would care about these irrelevant things.

“So you think I’m petty now?”

“I’m just trying to make you see that it’s impossible for me to completely cut ties with Luo Xiaolang!”

“Is that so?” Ji Baixin said sarcastically.

“Yes. I’m telling you clearly, yes! Because Little Tiger is my son, I can’t ignore him, I can’t be so cold-hearted for your sake!”

“I accept that you give money to Luo Xiaolang because of your son, I accept that you have monetary entanglements with Luo Xiaolang because of your son, but why do you watch Luo Xiaolang’s live stream? Do you still want to see her? Do you still care about her deep down?!” Ji Baixin shouted at him.

Shouted at him loudly.

“Yes, I do care about her! I do care about how she’s doing!” Yin Qin suddenly exploded.

He looked at Ji Baixin, not hiding anything.

Ji Baixin stared blankly at Yin Qin.

“Are you satisfied now? You wanted me to admit that I can’t let go of Luo Xiaolang, are you satisfied now?!” Yin Qin coldly asked her.

Ji Baixin scoffed, “Yin Qin, why are you really with me? Since you have Luo Xiaolang, since you have a child with Luo Xiaolang, why did you get together with me in the first place?”

“Wasn’t it you who wanted me to be with you in the first place?” Yin Qin retorted.

Ji Baixin couldn’t believe that Yin Qin would say something so hurtful.

Yes, it was she who had taken the initiative to confess her love to him, she who forbade him from marrying, but the premise was that Yin Qin loved her and, therefore, didn’t marry Luo Xiaolang.

But now, since everything was out in the open, was he just going to expose all her ugliness?

At this moment, Yin Qin was also extremely emotional.

He was truly suppressing a lot of feelings.

He found himself immensely stifled by Ji Baixing.

He was so suppressed that he would cautiously craft every word he said to please her, yet she never believed him and kept causing a scene incessantly.

The space between them grew suddenly quiet again.

It was always like this after a quarrel, with neither of them breaking the silence.

Ji Baixing cast aside Yin Qin’s phone.

She stood up and headed straight into her bedroom.

She declared before shutting the door, “You should’ve never agreed to my proposal in the first place!”

The door slammed shut forcefully.

Yin Qin was utterly agitated, losing control and kicking the tea table so hard it flipped over and made a loud noise. Despite all the commotion, Ji Baixing didn’t open the door and let Yin Qin vent his frustration outside relentlessly.

Who knows how much time went by.

The house was left in a mess by Yin Qin anyway.

He flopped onto the sofa, panting heavily.

He started to question how long he can hold onto the love, the one he had yearned for his entire life, between him and Ji Baixing.

He felt like they were not in a relationship, but rather torturing each other.

It was indeed torturous…

…

Luo Xiaolang suddenly received an unexpected transfer of 5 million the next morning.

Her phone had sent a notification.

She was confused about who could’ve sent her the money.

Wu’s wife insisted, “It must be the mistress. She must have thought you were running low on funds and transferred you some money.”

Luo Xiaolang bought it for a moment and then received a call from Qin Keqin.

“Xiaolang, I just saw the news today. Why didn’t you tell me when you ran out of money? You silly girl, who told you to support the family by yourself? Now that you’ve given birth to our family’s tiger cub, we have the responsibility to take care of you. I’ll go to the bank and have them transfer you some money. Spend it freely and don’t be shy about it. Just let me know when you run out,” Qin Keqin excitedly rambled on.

Luo Xiaolang asked in a soft voice, “Auntie, didn’t you send me 5 million?”

“Hmm? What 5 million?”

“There’s an extra 5 million in my account.”

“I didn’t send you that.” Qin Keqin was very baffled.

“Then who did?”

“Could it be Zhizhi?”

It wasn’t likely.

If Song Zhizhi intended to give her money, he would’ve just handed it over to her directly since they lived in the same building. He would also inform her, not just transfer the money without saying a word.

“Could it be that no-good Yin Qin?” Qin Keqin suddenly asked.

Luo Xiaolang remembered encountering Yin Qin the previous night, and he had mentioned giving her 5 million.

It really was him.

Ji Baixing made it clear in the media that she wouldn’t be short-changed in her relationship with Yin Qin.

Ji Baixing must have rejected Yin Qin’s monetary offerings.

“I’ll ask for you,” offered Qin Keqin.

“You don’t need to. I know who it is.” Luo Xiaolang said, “Auntie, you don’t need to transfer money to me. I will not use it. I have to learn to support my family and make my own money now. I don’t want to rely on you forever.”

“We’re not asking you to depend on us, we’re only fulfilling our duty…”

“Auntie, I understand most things. I know you’re trying to make it up to me, but I don’t need it. If you really want to help, then please stop interfering. I hope to support the baby tiger on my own. I don’t want him to grow up thinking his mom is a useless person.”

“Who says you are useless?” Qin Keqin gets angry.

Yan Bin, who is on the other end, hurriedly calms her down, “Take it easy, take it easy.”

Luo Xiaolang explains, “No one, I just feel like I don’t know anything right now, and I want to grow by learning.”

“Silly child, why do you press yourself so hard? Isn’t everything you have now a result of the Yin Family owing you?”

“No, you don’t owe me anything. Truly. I pressured you all into having this child. I am relieved to have met you because of my immature decision. I’ve never had parents, Master was kind to me but never thought that I could have a father and mother someday. I don’t get the idea of changing how I refer to you after marriage, but now I know what it feels like to have real parents,” Luo Xiaolang said.

Qin Keqin’s eyes welled up.

Her eyes reddened deeply.

She had always treated Luo Xiaolang like a beloved daughter.

She never imagined that Luo Xiaolang indeed treated her as her mother!

“Silly child, how can you be so mature about things? You have no idea how much I wanted to stab Yin Qin with a knife when I saw Ji Baixing bashing you in the media today. Is he blind since childhood? How can he like a chicken-hearted, rumor-mongering woman like Ji Baixing? What’s so good about Ji Baixing except for her slightly attractive appearance?”

“Isn’t Yin Qin infatuated with good-looking girls?”

“Such a man deserves a thousand cuts.” Qin Keqin gnashes her teeth in anger.

“Auntie, I don’t want to talk about him anymore. I’ve got to start a live stream,” Luo Xiaolang interrupted.

“Fine, it pisses me off whenever we mention him. Take care of yourself and be sure to let auntie know if you’re not holding up,” Qin Keqin instructs.

“Okay,” Luo Xiaolang nods.

Truth be told, she never planned to seek help from anyone.

Now she is learning to cope with things by herself.

But she only does acts of kindness.

After hanging up on Qin Keqin…

She checks the time and asks Wu’s wife to take the baby tiger, who just finished his milk, downstairs for a walk. Then, she starts her live stream.

As soon as her live stream comes on…

Barrages of comments flood in.

Normally, she seldom reads the screen comments and just focuses on the games. However, as her game has yet to be connected, she catches a glimpse of the comments.

All these comments are alike, “Luo Xiaolang, the Yin Family has given you so much. Now you say you want to earn money to support the family. Are you trying to win sympathy?”

“You’re doing this only to win sympathy, aren’t you?”

“Luo Xiaolang, I heard you live in the top luxury house and drive the top luxury car. With so much money, you have the audacity to come on live stream pretending to be poor. Doesn’t your greed disgust you?”

Streams of comments quickly covered the whole screen.

She pauses for a few seconds.

She says, “I rely on my gaming skills. If you enjoy watching, then stay. If not, leave.”
