At the hotel, Xue Ling removed the suit he wore for his performance, took a bath, and lay down on the bed, feeling that he was still just as busy as he had been in his previous life.
“System, can you find out where my lovely little niece is now?” He turned over and brought out the system.

“I don’t have omnivision…” A pitiful murmur came from the system. “But I can give you some information so that you can find the fastest, most reliable detective.”
“Contact him for me.” Xue Ling rubbed the little fox’s head, using the system like a plug-in. “Find out where the little girl is first, and I’ll pick her up tomorrow when I leave the hospital.”
The system had no idea what Xue Ling was up to. It was completely confused, unable to keep up with its host’s thinking. “Host, what are you planning to do?”
“Wen Xiuyuan is really pitiful.” Xue Ling remarked, “First his parents died, then his sister passed away, his oldest nephew turned silly, his younger niece also died, and finally, he also followed the pattern and died. When I entered this body, I couldn’t save his parents, so I can only try to move the rest of his relatives away from that scum as quickly as possible.”
“How do you plan to do this?”
“Nothing much, his sister has already left with his eldest nephew. Tomorrow, we will sell our shares, pick up my niece and move abroad.”
“Eh?!!!” The system never imagined that as soon as he makes his move, he would change the entire plot!

“Like this, at least they won’t encounter situations beyond my control just because I didn’t catch the problem in time.” In fact, arranging things like this will have little impact on the original plot, if anything, it will allow the male protagonist’s plans to proceed even more smoothly.
The system thought about it for a while, and finally also felt that it’s not wrong move people away from that scum man, but… “So, host, do you plan on taking your time completing this task?”
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows. “How else? Right now, I am a young master who can do nothing but play the piano. Do you expect me to become the president of the company right after I return to China, kill brother-in-law who has been working hard for many years for the company, and then dominate the market?”
“Oh… no… that’s too OOC…”
“So we can only proceed slowly.” Xue Ling pulled down the quilt and wrapped himself inside it. “Anyway, I need to live until I have a natural death, there’s no need for me to go up and shoot him down and then end up in jail for decades.”
“Don’t kill the protagonist!” The system heavily emphasized this. “Even if they are worse than scum, you can’t personally go and kill people! Otherwise, you will be directly kicked out by this world! At that time, vomiting blood all over the floor won’t be good for you.”
“Oh.”

“You’re being very cold…”
“You’re being very annoying.”
“QAQ”
Xu Yongyi had carefully plotted the death of his parents, so he rushed to the hospital as soon as he arrived in town. Although he looked like he was in grief, all his actions were neat and orderly.
First he arranged for their cremation, then he contacted the funeral parlor and found a special person to take charge of the funeral. The sky was turning bright when he finished. Without resting, he rushed to the company in order to explain what happened to the board members and shareholders, requesting that they stay calm.
He raised up their sense of importance and built up a lot of good will. The board members and shareholders all expressed that the Wen family was very lucky to have a son-in-law like him.
Compared to him, Wen Xueling who had first gone to sleep after getting off the plane and showed up at the hospital the next morning made people frown at him. Xue Ling did not care too much about the board members’ judging gazes. Several representatives came to the hospital with Xu Yongyi. Xue Ling just happened to be there too, and was scolded without pause by the board members. Before he could speak up, Xu Yongyi had already stepped in to mediate between the two parties.

Using phrases like ‘Little Yuan was abroad, coming back is not so simple as just saying it and having it happen’, ‘he is also very heartbroken’, ‘he was participating in a competition, it really was not intentional that he did not return earlier to deal with these things’, and so on, making Xue Ling, who was listening, really want to sing him the song ‘What a beautiful white lotus flower’
After suffering from being rejected by the world last time, Xue Ling had no intention of going OOC in front of people who were familiar with him. He kept his head lowered until the old men were appeased by Xu Yongyi, before he timidly called out Brother-in-law.”
His voice still carried a bit of the soft and sweet tones of a youth, like that of a boy that had not yet grown up. When the board members present heard it, the anger they carried suddenly vanished.
They really scolded harshly, but they forgot that this child’s parents died just one short day ago. His heart must feel much worse than theirs. Earlier, he silently bowed his head, now, when he raised it up, his eyes were still slightly red.
Xu Yongyi also took a look and was shocked. For some reason he also felt a little soft-hearted.
The lawyers that were on the side, regardless of their inner thoughts, read the will after everyone calmed down. These board members had come to be witnesses, and they all thought that there was nothing wrong with the will. Compared to Wen Xiuyuan, Xu Yongyi was definitely more suited for this enterprise. It made sense to leave these things to him, and provide more money for the son, but thinking of Wen Xiuyuan, whose eyes were still a little red, they also felt somewhat distressed for the youth.
Other than the shares of the family business that were originally given to him, nothing else was his.

He will just receive some dividends at the end of the year…
Xue Ling did not rebut as they expected, only carefully looking at the document after listening to everything. Finally, he turned his head towards Xu Yongyi. “Brother-in-law, will you be able to properly manage the company?”
Xu Yongyi frowned, thinking, ‘it’s coming!’
