Seeing this post, Shuishui became excited, “Is it General Wei? Did General Wei find his wife?”
Yan Yue thought that he probably had, so she didn’t hesitate to open the post. She found that Luxury Gate Gossip had posted a simple photo in the main thread. The photo was taken from the side, and based on the surroundings and the inadvertent presence of medical staff in white coats, it was clear that the location was a hospital.
Did Wei Chenxu go to the hospital?
This question left everyone present momentarily stunned. At this point in time, what could Wei Chenxu be doing at the hospital? Could it be that his wife was in this hospital? Was she one of the hospital staff or a patient?
At this moment, Su Manman suddenly said, “Could it be that General Wei’s wife, like Bingxin, was also in a car accident and is lying in the hospital?”
As Su Manman’s words fell, Yan Yue and the others were all taken aback!
If that was the case, could it be that General Wei’s wife had been lying in the hospital for the past seven or eight years? The answer was clear.
So, what happened in the meantime?
Considering the despicable things Ye Tianming had done, it was clear that the storyline of “Returning to Temptation” wasn’t a perfect match. The only thing that might correlate was that like Gu Chen, Ye Tianming was also searching for a substitute for his supposed moonlight in his heart. As for other aspects, like social status and using hallucinogens to trap these substitute girls in the dreams he created for them, these were entirely absent from the show. Additionally, in the show, Bingxin only remained in a coma for about a month before waking up, but in reality, Wei Chenxu’s wife had a significant chance of lying in the hospital for seven or eight years. Finally, there was still no corresponding character in reality for Bing Shang, who hadn’t appeared in the show so far…
What on earth was going on?
Even Yan Yue was getting curious now. She could have considered “Arrogant Young Master Husband” a coincidence, but now another Wei Chenxu had suddenly appeared. Regardless of Ye Tianming for now, when Wei Chenxu had come to her, he had explicitly mentioned that the backstory she wrote for He Linfeng and Bingxin in the show was somewhat similar to his and his wife’s past. The campus plotline of He Linfeng and Bingxin was actually quite cliché, something that could be found in half of romance novels. But the fact that the birthmark and the birthdate had matched was a bit hard to believe…
It was too detailed, so detailed that Yan Yue began to recall where she had encountered this type of plot before. But she had been through so many worlds, and some stories were merely insignificant side stories for supporting characters in those worlds. For example, the revenge story of Su Zhen in “Arrogant Young Master Husband” was something that happened to a side character whose name hadn’t appeared many times in the original novel of that world.
As for which world “Returning to Temptation” correlated with, Yan Yue couldn’t remember for the time being. She planned to have 666 look it up. Perhaps if she found out, she would be closer to the truth.
However, she could put these thoughts aside for now. She still wanted to understand the current situation between the Ye and Wei families. Otherwise, she would definitely have trouble falling asleep tonight.
It was like seeing a hot search about a top star suspected of having a girlfriend, and the girlfriend was an ordinary person. At first, you thought they were truly in love, but suddenly another beautiful internet celebrity claiming to be the top star’s girlfriend emerged and accused the ordinary girl of being a third party. Both sides wrote a series of drama posts, but suddenly the internet celebrity stopped writing and stopped sharing chat records with the top star. For a whole night, you would be thinking, why did the internet celebrity stop? Why isn’t she continuing to expose things? Is she really the top star’s other girlfriend? Or did the top star’s side manage to handle her?
Yan Yue felt somewhat similarly right now, especially since this situation was somewhat related to her. She really wanted to understand what was going on.
But ultimately, this matter was someone else’s family affair, and even if the person leaking the information knew a lot, they couldn’t possibly know all the details.
For Yan Yue’s group, they already knew the purpose of Wei Chenxu’s visit, so they had been surprised beforehand. However, the other spectators weren’t aware of the situation. Therefore, Luxury Gate Gossip had only posted a single photo, and in the blink of an eye, the post had already garnered several thousand replies!
“Wait, am I seeing this right? Is that Wei Chenxu??”
“Damn!!! Are they even real? This really is like General He hahaha.”
“Before clicking into this post, when I saw ‘real version of General He,’ I rolled my eyes. How could there possibly be someone like our General He in this world, rich to the point of rivaling nations and so devastatingly handsome, and on top of that, he dotes on his wife! But after clicking in, I’m just on my knees! Damn! If anyone on this planet matches the real General He, it must be Wei Chenxu!”
“For those who don’t pay attention to the financial news: Wei Chenxu, male, thirty-two years old, currently the CEO of Wei Corporation, consistently ranked first on the B33 Star’s richest list and within the top three on the global richest list, the youngest within the top fifty, and also the most handsome (you’ll know from the photo Luxury Gate Gossip leaked, in short, his handsomeness rivals that of the bionic General He created by Yan Yue)! Wei Chenxu possesses countless industries, and the most well-known is probably his development and naming of a new planet a few years ago, B-S701! Nowadays, Wei Chenxu’s personal wealth has already reached several quadrillion, in short, the least worthy attribute to discuss about this man is his wealth, and it’s worth mentioning that this incredibly wealthy and handsome man got married early! It’s said that he and his wife had a campus romance, and as soon as they reached the legal age for marriage, they immediately got married. After their marriage, the two kept a low profile. But I’ve seen a lot of CP posts about them before. General Wei dotes on his wife especially, even if it’s their son, he has to take a step back, as his wife is always the first priority. Alright, that’s the end of my explanation. Today’s also a day where I wish to transmigrate into Wei Chenxu’s wife, sob sob sob.”
“Wait! So this Wei Chenxu is the one ranked within the top three of the global richest list? I, who don’t follow financial news, always assumed that these wealthy people who have such positions must be at least fifty, with potbellies and receding hairlines as standard. Now you’re telling me that this man who can be handsome to the skies is that Wei Chenxu?”
“The explainer above missed the most important information. Around seven or eight years ago, Wei Corporation posted a missing person notice, searching for Wei Chenxu’s wife who had inexplicably disappeared. This matter caused quite a sensation at the time. But maybe because time has passed, this incident has gradually been forgotten by most people. I just checked, and Wei Corporation’s official website is still displaying the missing person notice for his wife on its homepage. It’s been so many years, and they still haven’t found her. Sigh.”
“I’m cursed, my CP brain is acting up! Clearly, I should be feeling sorry for General Wei not having found his wife yet, but I’m still getting carried away sob sob sob! It’s been seven or eight years, and Wei Corporation’s official website is still displaying the missing person notice for General Wei’s wife! And I just searched, General Wei hasn’t remarried!! This is like the real-life version of General He Linfeng! Curse it all!”
“Not only is he the real-life version of General He, his wife is also the real-life version of Bingxin. Those who have seen their CP posts would know. General Wei’s wife is also exceptional, she was the school’s beauty, academically excellent, the ultimate school belle! Before her disappearance, she was the leader of the bionic industry under Wei Corporation, and her contribution was essential for Wei Corporation’s current success. If you search ‘Wei Corporation Bionics,’ the CEO’s name is hers, and they say she has a very good personality, very gentle. In short, her positive traits are too numerous to list. They’re truly a talented couple with good looks! Oh, and there’s one thing that most people know but I still want to mention—General Wei developed a new planet a few years ago, and he named it after his wife’s name and birthdate, with the ‘S’ being the initial of her name.”
“At this point, his wife is even more exceptional than Bingxin! A powerful couple, I’m about to swoon!”
“?? Ah ah ah, he actually named a planet after his wife’s name and birthdate! He truly… I’m crying, he’s so in love!”
“I’m shedding tears. What kind of love is this between the rich? Loving her means giving her a planet. Don’t bother me! Don’t bother me! Let me cry my impoverished tears for a little while sob sob sob.”
“But wait, shouldn’t the focus now be on why General Wei suddenly came to B62 Star and why he suddenly went to the hospital? Also, wasn’t it said that General Wei is the real-life version of General He? If that’s the case, his sudden appearance on B62 Star, could it be related to his wife being here?”
“Right! We were so busy focusing on drooling over General Wei’s appearance and their stunning CP that we neglected other things. Maybe General Wei is just here on a business trip? Or maybe to visit a friend? What’s going on, Luxury Gate Gossip? Your recent leaks are getting half-hearted. You just posted a photo and didn’t provide any explanatory text. Who can understand this?!”
People in the thread kept mentioning and tagging Luxury Gate Gossip, urging them to come out and clarify the situation. They were confused about whether the surprise was just due to Wei Chenxu’s resemblance to General He or if there was a connection between Wei Chenxu and the plot of “Returning to Temptation.” The situation was getting muddled and their focus was shifting!
Luxury Gate Gossip soon responded, and within half an hour, they posted another photo.
This time, the photo didn’t solely feature Wei Chenxu. There was a woman sitting in a wheelchair beside him. The woman’s eyes were closed, and she gently leaned her head against Wei Chenxu’s forearm, sleeping peacefully.
Looking at this woman with long black hair and a white dress, netizens felt a sense of familiarity—
“Doesn’t the woman in the wheelchair look a bit like Anna?”
“Wait, that mole on the tip of her nose! When Anna live-streamed yesterday, that sister who almost got choked by Ye Tianming also had a mole on her nose, and it’s in the exact same spot!”
“Rumors have it that General Wei has always refrained from being involved with other women, except for his wife. Could this be the wife he’s been searching for so many years?”
【I’ve seen photos of Lady Wei before. Go check the official notice from Wei Corporation, they’ve posted Lady Wei’s picture. She doesn’t look like this.】
【What’s not to understand, folks? I’m directly connecting this to “Returning to Temptation.” It’s like Shen’s family hitting Bingxin and replacing her face with their daughter’s, making Bingxin become Gu Chen’s fiancee, and then Gu Chen cheating with his sister-in-law, leading to Bingxin’s despair and her leaving home after a car accident, which also triggers her memory and her realization of being Mrs. He. Think about it! Really think about it!】
【Wait, but if that’s the case, the woman in the wheelchair who is supposed to be General Wei’s wife shouldn’t resemble Ye Tiancheng’s Baiyueguang. Something doesn’t add up. I’m getting dizzy. I feel like the Ye family and the Wei family are connected and have a story, but this story might be even more absurd than “Returning to Temptation.” Maybe it’s not as satisfying as Yan Yue’s writing…】
【I agree! If it’s as satisfying as Yan Yue wrote, General Wei wouldn’t have taken seven or eight years to find his wife, and Ye Tianming wouldn’t have gotten away with it until now!】
While everyone was discussing, Luxury Gate Gossip also spoke up: “General Wei has taken his wife away. Your guesses are correct. That person is indeed his wife, the one he’s been searching for so many years. As for the rest, I haven’t gathered any more information at the moment. But don’t worry, stay tuned to my account or the Luxury Gate Gossip group for the latest updates!”
Seeing that Luxury Gate Gossip didn’t have more to share, people had no choice but to wait and continue to follow for any new information.
So far, the discussions around this substitute plot were fragmented. People had only seen photos, videos, and text-based discussions. A live broadcast to reveal information was quite rare within the interstellar community.
At this moment, there were only two people in the live broadcast, and neither of them was concealing their appearances in any way. They were sitting there in front of the camera, letting millions of viewers look at them.
Yan Yue quickly recognized these two individuals. One was the girl who had nearly been choked by Ye Tianming yesterday, and the other was the aunt who had rushed towards the girl during Anna’s livestream.
Once the number of viewers in the live broadcast room had reached a certain level, the two of them greeted the audience. Then, the woman who called herself Aunt Wang began to recount a story from the past…
“To the viewers in this live broadcast, many of you have probably read the work by Teacher Yan Yue called ‘Returning to Temptation: The White Moonlight Substitute’s Counterattack.’ The story I’m about to tell you is actually quite similar to the events in that story, but in reality, Bingxin and Bing Shang didn’t have such fortunate fates as in the drama…”
As Aunt Wang recounted, she mentioned that when she was young, she worked as a maid in the Ye household. The Ye family treated her fairly well, and she had developed an affection for her job because of that.
However, she never expected that one day, the young master of the family, Ye Tianming, would bring a girl home and introduce her as his girlfriend. The Ye family had already decided on a marriage partner for Ye Tianming, and they didn’t approve of his behavior. They were especially displeased because the girl he brought home would often argue with him.
Aunt Wang initially didn’t think much of it. Ye Tianming had brought girls home before as guests. They would stay a few days and then be sent back. They were all adults, and if they were willing, she didn’t have the right to object. Although she, as an older generation, didn’t approve of this practice of bringing someone home before marriage, it was the Ye family after all, and her opinion didn’t matter.
However, gradually, Aunt Wang started to notice that something was off…
“In the past, when he brought girls home, they would stay in the main building with the rest of the family. But the girl he brought home this time was taken to the auxiliary building behind the main house within two days. No one had lived there before. He had us clean it out and let the girl move in. One day, when I went to deliver their food…”
Aunt Wang had difficulty putting it into words. It was partly because it was too unbearable to say and partly because Ye Tianming’s despicable actions were hard to voice.
In the end, Aunt Wang had to use a scene from “Returning to Temptation” to explain, “Just like the memories in Bingxin…”
Aunt Wang was truly frightened at that time. As her world collapsed, she saw the girl’s desperate plea for help in her eyes. Aunt Wang instinctively walked away, but she couldn’t sleep that night.
So, she secretly went to see the girl. The girl wanted her to help, but Aunt Wang was just a maid. If she let the girl go and the girl got caught, considering Ye Tianming’s increasingly unstable mental state, she might suffer too. The girl wanted her to contact her family, teachers, or friends. It happened to be during a vacation, but Aunt Wang didn’t know how to contact the girl’s teachers or friends. As for the girl’s family, Aunt Wang was too scared. If the girl’s family directly came to take her back, Ye Tianming would definitely know that she had leaked the information. However, she also didn’t want to do nothing.
