1979: Literary Master, Starting from the Return of Educated Youth

Chapter 212: Aunt Shen is doomed

"What's the matter?"

"Subsequent updates of "Criminal Investigation Team 6"."

"The Eight Women Case made everyone feel both horrified and excited. Since then, the editorial department has been receiving letters from readers urging them to update."

"Especially in the past few months, readers have been getting more and more anxious when they see that you haven't updated."

"Hiss... So that's what it is."

After listening to Wang Chaoyin's explanation, Xu Yuexin pondered.

He originally wrote the book mainly to solve the problem of financial resources.

And now, he has become a billionaire.

So a new question arises: should he continue writing?
This is something Xu Yuexin really needs to think about seriously.

"You don't want to update, right?"

Wang Chaoyin saw that Xu Yuexin didn't answer, so he asked, "It doesn't matter. The novel itself is in the form of a unit drama, so it can be finished at any time."

"If you really don't want to write, we can just post a completion notice for you."

"No, I will write more later. I'm just too busy right now."

Xu Yuexin immediately denied it.

I still have to write books, maintain my reputation as a literary giant, and strive to go further.

This is not only a question of original intention, but also concerns Xu Yuexin's wealth.

The money Xu Yuexin earns from the novels he publishes now is based on royalties per thousand words and number of copies printed.

But what about later?

When the cultural and entertainment industry grows stronger, the novels he wrote will become valuable IPs, and their value will be immeasurable.

In a word, it must be written!

"Oh, if you're really busy, there's no need to rush."

Wang Chaoyin said considerately, "Let's finish the things at hand first."

"Okay, I'll tell you as soon as I finish writing it."

Xu Yuexin nodded.

As soon as he left People's Literature and returned home, he immediately began planning the next chapter of "Serious Crime Unit 6".

There are many classic cases in "Serious Crime Unit 6", and Xu Yuexin plans to choose from them.

First of all, we have to eliminate some that do not conform to the current era.

For example, in the "Tiger Skin Case", the "Wildlife Protection Law" has not yet been issued, and purchasing stations in various places are still collecting tiger skins and leopard skins as usual.

There is also the "Little Crab" case, the background of which is that around 2000, crosstalk as a traditional folk art was facing huge difficulties, but at that time in the early 80s, crosstalk was still very popular.

Cases like this are the kind that cannot be adapted at present.

Just put them aside for now.

Xu Yuexin thought about it and finally decided to write about a kidnapping case.

In the early 80s, there were relatively few rich people in society and kidnapping cases were relatively rare.

It is also because of this that writing about a kidnapping case is more likely to gain readers' freshness and make the novel more popular.

Moreover, from the perspective of the times, since kidnapping can make money, it is logical that criminals would have a motive to commit the crime.

Xu Yuexin made up his mind and finally started creating based on a case in "Serious Crime Unit 6".

In order to fit the context of the times, he changed the identity of the kidnapped hostage from the boss of an entertainment venue to a millionaire.

At the same time, in order to enhance the conflict, the perpetrator was changed to the younger brother of a millionaire.

After deciding on his idea, Xu Yuexin started writing.

Having not written for a long time, Xu Yuexin had a strange feeling of familiarity and strangeness when he started writing a novel again.

The bedroom became extremely quiet for a moment as he immersed himself in writing.

In the following days, apart from meeting with editors from major magazines to discuss publishing matters, Xu Yuexin spent the rest of his time writing.

By the time the writing of "Serious Crime Unit 6: Kidnapping Case" was completed, it was already early summer.

When Wang Chaoyin saw his works, his first reaction was novelty.

"Kidnapping? That's pretty new."

In the deputy editor-in-chief's office, Wang Chaoyin was holding the manuscript, looking quite interested.

He had only read about kidnapping cases in foreign novels and had never heard of such cases in real life.

Xu Yuexin actually remembered to write this.

Wang Chaoyin nodded and pondered.

In a short while, he had finished reading the entire novel.

"Well written, with twists and turns and lots of ups and downs."

“The process of solving the case is also well written.”

"The June issue hasn't been printed yet, so why not publish it in it?"

Wang Chaoyin put down the manuscript and asked Xu Yuexin.

"Okay, it's been a while since I wrote anything that was published."

“I’d like to see it released sooner, too.”

After deciding to publish, Xu Yuexin and Wang Chaoyin went together to collect their royalties.

"The Kidnapping Case of Serious Crime Unit 84000" has a total of 840 words. According to the current highest standard, the remuneration is yuan.

Xu Yuexin put the money in his pocket, said goodbye to Wang Chaoyin and left.

840 yuan is a small amount of money for Xu Yuexin today.

The key lies in publishing the work itself.

Only by writing books continuously can you expand your own library of works and let their value explode one day.

After returning home, Xu Yuexin opened the safe where he kept his cash register and put the 840 yuan in royalties into it.

The cabinet is filled with banknotes, and the visual effect is quite shocking.

Xu Yuexin wanted to check the numbers, so he took out stacks of cash and counted them. In the end, his hands almost cramped from counting so much.

If he wasn't worried about attracting attention, he really wanted to buy a money counting machine.

After a careful count, Xu Yuexin confirmed that there was a total of 116 million in cash in the cabinet, exactly the same as recorded in the account book.

After counting the money, Xu Yuexin kept 20,000 yuan and did not put it back in the cabinet.

He put the 20,000 yuan into his schoolbag, then rode his motorcycle to Xicheng District and arrived at the gate of Shen Qingru's second courtyard.

"Tuk-tuk."

Xu Yuexin stopped his motorcycle, knocked on the door and asked, "Is Aunt Shen home?"

"Wait a minute."

Shen Qingru's voice came from inside the door, and the door opened after a while.

Today, Shen Qingru wore a black mid-length skirt with white floral patterns, a white shawl on the outside, and flat shoes on her feet. She looked gentle and elegant, and very comfortable to look at.

"How's the publishing thing going?"

When Xu Yuexin pushed the motorcycle into the yard, Shen Qingru closed the gate and asked with concern.

"It went pretty smoothly. I made over 300,000 this time."

Xu Yuexin said with a smile that it would be a good idea to put the motorcycle under the awning.

"It's great that readers can enjoy your masterpiece again."

"This time, we are bringing all the previous books together and publishing them in a collection."

Xu Yuexin said, "Aunt Shen, what are you doing at home?"

“I’m at home watering the flowers.”

“There are not many classes recently.”

Shen Qingru shared with Xu Yuexin as they walked towards the main hall, "I just found out these past two days that my mentor's father was a tutor to my grandfather."

"We are old friends after all."

"Oh? So is it a sure thing that I will recommend you to pursue a doctorate?"

"Yes. But my advisor recommended that I get a position in a university after graduation, and then study for a doctorate while working."

“His suggestion makes sense.”

Xu Yuexin nodded and said, "The most important thing is to get a seat first."

As he spoke, he sat down in the center of the main room, and Shen Qingru picked up the kettle to pour water for him and make tea.

"The best Huangshan Maojian, picked before the Qingming Festival."

Shen Qingru said with a smile as she poured the water, her tone very gentle, "Try it."

Xu Yuexin put the bag beside him, took a sip of tea, and found that the fragrance was indeed fragrant and refreshing.

“It’s delicious.”

Xu Yuexin put down the teacup and said, "By the way, I have prepared some money for you."

After saying that, he took out ten stacks of Great Unity from his bag and placed them on the table, each stack weighing one thousand yuan.

"Thank you. You can take it back."

Shen Qingru quickly declined, "I can still hold on."

"It's already down to the support level, and I guess the money is not enough."

Xu Yuexin smiled faintly and said, "Just accept it."

A woman like Shen Qingru, who comes from a wealthy family, has many fixed expenses in her daily life.

Take tea for example. When ordinary people don’t have enough money, they may buy some cheap ones, or simply not buy any.

But for a family like hers, this was not possible. Even if she had financial difficulties, she had to buy the best tea to entertain her guests.

If this goes on, and I don't support her, she will not be able to survive with the remaining assets.

Shen Qingru was embarrassed when Xu Yuexin revealed her embarrassment. She lowered her head slightly and said nothing.

"Later, I will make some small investments in your name, so that your daily expenses will be taken care of."

Xu Yuexin continued.

He had a habit of buying property in the name of a woman when he fell in love with her, so that she could live a rich life and feel financially secure.

"Thanks……"

After hearing this, Shen Qingru opened her mouth slightly, looked at Xu Yuexin gratefully and said, "I also want to change my spending habits and save money in the future."

"No, I just like the way you spend money like water."

Xu Yuexin waved her hand seriously and said, "For example, this dress and shawl cost at least three hundred yuan in total, which is not cheap."

"But it looks really good when worn on the body."

"You are my woman. Even if you dress up nicely, I am still the one who enjoys it in the end."

Shen Qingru blushed a little when she heard this.

Xu Yuexin’s words do make sense, but they are too straightforward.

It was too much for her thin skin to bear.

"Okay, keep the money first, we'll go out for dinner later."

Seeing that Shen Qingru accepted his theory, Xu Yuexin stood up from his chair and said.

At noon, the two went to an authentic Huaiyang restaurant for lunch, and then went shopping in Wangfujing.

Compared to when Xu Yuexin just returned to Beijing three years ago, the streetscape of Wangfujing has changed a lot.

The entire street has become longer, and the areas at both ends that were originally not covered with shops and buildings are now covered.

Scaffolding has been erected in front of some existing shops as they undergo expansion.

Xu Yuexin and Shen Qingru walked into the department store and took her to the third floor where clothes were sold.

"It's almost summer, buy two sets of clothes."

Xu Yuexin said to Shen Qingru, and then picked a skirt for her.

"What do you think of this one?"

"Quite good looking."

Shen Qingru said after taking a look.

This is a water green chiffon skirt with a slim fit and a not-so-shallow neckline. It is a relatively trendy style at the moment.

"How much is it, comrade?"

Xu Yuexin asked the salesperson.

“15 bucks.

"Okay, please get me one."

After paying, Xu Yuexin took the skirt from the salesperson.

At this time, Aunt Shen looked at the style of the skirt carefully and suddenly felt a little regretful.

Is this skirt a bit too revealing?
"How about a different one?"

Aunt Shen nudged Xu Yuexin with her arm to remind him.

"Very good, what to change?"

Xu Yuexin didn't take it seriously and left the counter with the skirt.

"But...it's a little revealing."

Aunt Shen followed beside him and spoke hesitantly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

"I know, I bought it for you to wear at home and for me alone to see."

Xu Yuexin said calmly.

Aunt Shen was so embarrassed by Xu Yuexin's behavior.

It turns out that this guy had bad intentions from the beginning!
After buying the skirt, Xu Yuexin took Aunt Shen to buy two cheongsams, then left the department store and returned to Aunt Shen's home.

After arriving home, Aunt Shen went into her bedroom to try on clothes.

After changing into a water-green miniskirt, Aunt Shen blushed.

Sure enough, this skirt is still too short. Facing herself in the dressing mirror, Aunt Shen shook her head.

She was tall to begin with, and when she put on this short skirt, the hem of the skirt reached more than ten centimeters above her knees.

The neckline design doesn't suit her very well either.

The collar was already quite deep, and coupled with her slender figure, it couldn't be covered when she bent over.

Aunt Shen looked at herself in the dressing mirror awkwardly and finally decided to put the skirt away and never wear it again.

"Aunt Shen."

Just as Aunt Shen was about to change her clothes, Xu Yuexin walked in from the bedroom door and said, "You're trying on clothes."

"Well, it's a bit inappropriate."

Aunt Shen nodded hurriedly and said, "Go out quickly, I need to change."

"Why is it not suitable? I think it looks good."

Xu Yuexin walked to the dressing mirror, put his hands on Aunt Shen's slightly exposed shoulders from behind and said.

Aunt Shen was pressed against by Xu Yuexin from behind, and she felt her face getting hot and she felt panicky.

"It's not pretty at all, I can't wear it at all..."

Aunt Shen said embarrassedly.

But before she could finish her words, Xu Yuexin picked her up.

"That's because you don't know how to appreciate yourself."

Xu Yuexin put Aunt Shen on the bed, kissed her face and said, "Look at these legs, they look so beautiful when exposed..."

Aunt Shen knew she was doomed, so she covered her eyes and turned away: "Hey, you are here in broad daylight..."

……

The rising and falling suppressed sounds in the house continued until the sun set.

Finally, Aunt Shen leaned weakly in Xu Yuexin's arms, almost without the strength to speak.

Xu Yuexin caressed Aunt Shen's buttocks and beautiful legs lovingly, and after a while he got up to take a shower.

After taking a shower and getting dressed, Xu Yuexin and Aunt Shen had a simple meal of plain noodles at home. At this time, Aunt Shen asked him about his subsequent arrangements.

Xu Yuexin did not answer the question immediately.

Because Minako is about to give birth, he wants to go to Tokyo to see Minako and their two children.

He hasn't decided whether to tell the people around him about this.

"Look, let's take care of the things at hand first."

Xu Yuexin said vaguely and buried his head in eating noodles.

Aunt Shen noticed something strange in his expression.

"Okay, remember to tell me if anything happens."

"Although I can't do you a favor, I can at least analyze it with you."

"Well, let's eat noodles."

Xu Yuexin nodded.

A few days later, Xu Yuexin booked a flight to Tokyo.

After getting off the plane, he called Minako and when the call was connected, it was Keiko who spoke on the other end.

"My wife is preparing to give birth on the third floor of the Women's Medical University Hospital. I'm packing some necessary things for her at home and will be there soon."

"The master can go directly to see the wife."

Owner?

Hearing this new name, Xu Yuexin hesitated slightly.

It seems that Huizi has already regarded him as the man of the family.

"Okay, I know."

Xu Yuexin said, hung up the airport public phone, and called a taxi to go to the hospital where Minako gave birth.

After arriving at the place, Xu Yuexin went straight to the third floor.

After going up the stairs, he saw that the floor was empty except for doctors, nurses, and some men in black suits. Apart from them, there was not a single patient.

Xu Yuexin wanted to go in, but the man in a suit at the door stopped him and spoke a lot in Japanese.

Xu Yuexin said he didn't understand, so the other party switched to English.

"Hello sir, we have reserved the entire 2nd to 4th floor."

"If you need help, you can ask the doctors on other floors for help."

"My surname is Xu."

Xu Yuexin said lightly.

He didn't believe that Minako didn't say hello before booking the theater.

"Oh...Mr. Xu?"

The man in the suit's expression changed immediately. He raised the corner of his mouth and bent down, "Please come in."

Under his guidance, Xu Yuexin walked into the deserted lobby on the third floor.

Give birth in the hospital.

Is this the power of a chaebol?

Of course, this is a good thing for him, and he also hopes that his children can grow up in a wealthy environment.

After a while, Xu Yuexin and the man in the suit walked to a delivery room near the window on the inner side of the third floor.

"Inside please."

The man in the suit opened the door of the delivery room and spoke respectfully.

Through the door of the delivery room, Xu Yuexin saw Minako leaning on the bed, her belly bulging high under the quilt, and her expression calm and peaceful.

Beside her were several maids standing with their hands hanging down, and nurses busying around.

"Minako."

Xu Yuexin suppressed his excitement and walked quickly towards the bed.

"Mr. Xu."

Minako straightened up and said with a smile, "Our baby will be born the day after tomorrow."

Hearing Minako's words, Xu Yuexin's eyebrows twitched slightly.

The two had agreed to keep it secret from outsiders.

Judging from the way she looks today, there's no need to hide it anymore, right?
"Um……"

Xu Yuexin sat down beside Minako's bed, held her hand and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable now?"

"It's okay, but sometimes the fetus kicks and hurts my ribs."

Minako smiled calmly and said, "Actually, I didn't expect you to come at first."

"why?"

"Because a young and promising man like you would be affected by your reputation if people knew that you had a child with me."

"whatever."

Xu Yuexin said disdainfully, "I don't care what outsiders say. Anyway, I will take care of you and your son."

After saying that, he took out two pairs of gold bracelets, one large and one small, from his shoulder bag and placed them in Minako's hands.

"I bought it in Hong Kong before."

"One for you, one for the child."

"Thank you, dear, it's beautiful..."

Minako played with the bracelet lovingly.

As she spoke, she put a pair of large bracelets on her wrists to try out the size.

Xu Yuexin winked at the nurses and maids beside him.

Since he is regarded as the head of the family...

Then his order should be useful, right?

The nurses and maids immediately stopped what they were doing and walked towards the ward door one after another.

When the last maid reached the door, she turned around and curtseyed to Xu Yuexin and Minako.

"Master, ma'am, if you need us to come in, please ring the bell."

After saying this, the maid also retreated.

Xu Yuexin looked at their actions and felt a little strange.

Well, this feeling of being able to call upon a large group of people and send them away at will...

It was so cool.

Of course, he did not forget his original purpose.

"Does everyone know the child's background?"

Xu Yuexin took Minako's hand and said.

"Well, the Watanabe family can't do anything to me now."

"In that case, why should we hide our child's origins any longer?"

Minako smiled slyly.

Xu Yuexin took a long breath.

This woman is really good at tricks.

Being able to make the Watanabe family helpless against her is not as simple as it sounds.

"And I've decided that the child's surname will be Xu after he's born."

Minako looked at Xu Yuexin and raised her eyebrows at him.

With your own last name?

This was indeed a pleasant surprise for Xu Yuexin.

Before coming to Tokyo this time, he was worried about how old the children would be before they could recognize each other.

But now once people arrive at the hospital, all problems are solved.

Xu Yuexin thought with some excitement.

"What are you doing? Think of a name for the child."

At this time, Minako pushed Xu Yuexin, waking him up who was still excited.

Xu Yuexin came to his senses and nodded quickly.

"Girl, huh? Let me think..."

"You should also use your brain."

After Xu Yuexin finished speaking, he fell into deep thought.

Minako has done so much for him and the child, so it would be best if the name could incorporate both of their names.

But the problem is that this kind of joint name between parents can easily make the child's name meaningless, because two of the three characters are taken up.

After much thought, Xu Yuexin gave up the idea.

He finally decided to look for a name for his daughter from ancient books.

After careful consideration, comparison and selection, Xu Yuexin slowly came up with an idea.

"How about calling me Xu Mengdie?"

"Dream butterfly? Okay, that sounds romantic."

"Well, Zhuangzi's dream of a butterfly in the morning, let's call it this."

Xu Yuexin smiled and took Minako's hand.

After deciding on the child's name, the two called the medical staff and maids back to the room to continue serving Minako.

Xu Yuexin stayed in the ward.

The ward that Minako booked is about 200 square meters and is equipped with complete medical and living facilities.

Xu Yuexin learned from subsequent conversations that the entire building was donated by Minako.

The delivery room in front of you is reserved specifically for Minako in the hospital and does not usually receive other women in labor.

Not only can family members accompanying the baby live here, but they can also give birth directly inside without having to push the baby out for delivery.

Well, that's really good.

Xu Yuexin thought to himself as he listened to Wanako's introduction.

As a husband, he naturally wanted Minako to enjoy the best medical conditions.

……

The day when the child was born soon arrived.

In the early hours of the morning, Minako showed signs of moving.

After hearing her groan, the nurse on duty in the delivery room immediately pressed the doorbell to call the doctor.

Xu Yuexin temporarily stepped aside, left the delivery room and waited outside.

Soon, Minako's cries in the delivery room became louder and louder, and from time to time medical staff could be heard communicating in Japanese.

Outside the door, Xu Yuexin paced back and forth anxiously, and his palms began to sweat.

But mother and daughter must be safe.

He prayed in his heart, raising his wrist from time to time to check the time.
