Chapter 154: Mrs. Watanabe's Secret (A Twisting, Exciting Chapter—Subscribe!)

Minako Watanabe, what are you up to? She gives herself a Sleeping Pill, then sends a maid to stay and sleep with her.

She can't be trying to get a hold on herself, can she!

Xu Yuexin, alert, thought, and shoved Huizi aside in one swift motion.

"Master, why..."

Huizi curled her body, arms clasped to her chest, looking at Xu Yuexin with a pitiful expression.

The deep‑V backless maid outfit, the fishnet white silk, and Huizi's angelically cute little face… all of this is so tempting! Yet, in Xu Yuexin's view, this is not a treat; on the contrary it hides great danger! "Get lost."

Xu Yuexin, too lazy to argue with her, quickly dressed and said.

Fortunately, his pants were still securely on, and there were no marks on his upper body, confirming that he hadn't actually done anything with Huizi.

Xu Yuexin shoved Huizi aside in one motion, dressed, then leapt swiftly under the bed, not looking back as he left the room.

At this moment, in another bedroom, Minako Watanabe was on a call with her husband.

"Wuwu... so you still refuse to let me bear that young man's child, right?"

"You want to see me end up homeless after you die, right?"

Minako Watanabe spoke with a tearful, sobbing expression, as if she were a completely innocent victim.

"The situation isn't as severe as you imagine; I will arrange a trust that will guarantee you a worry‑free later life."

"As for the rest of the estate, I think it's better to let the family handle it. After all, you have no business experience; giving it to you would only ruin the enterprise."

"As the eldest son of the Watanabe family, I cannot let the family's business decline in my generation."

"But..."

"No 'but', it's decided."

Compared with last time, Old Watanabe's tone today was unusually severe, leaving no room for discussion.

Minako Watanabe suddenly got a terrible headache.

Her worst initial guess was that her husband was indecisive and couldn't make a decision.

Then she would privately have a marital affair with Xu Yuexin, become pregnant, and publicly claim the child was hers with her husband.

By then, the previously hesitant husband, seeing the rice cooked, would have to tacitly accept.

Even if the Watanabe family members questioned the child's origin, they would lack evidence.

She didn't expect her husband's reaction to be so strong, which made Minako Watanabe very frightened, fearing that once she became pregnant, her husband would take severe punitive measures against her.

"Minako Watanabe, stop playing petty tricks on me."

Just as Minako Watanabe was pondering how to persuade her husband, Xu Yuexin's voice came from outside the door.

Minako Watanabe's face paled: based on the duration of the Sleeping Pill's effect, shouldn't Xu Yuexin be in the midst of a tryst with Huizi right now? Could it be... he only has three minutes left? In panic, she tried to hang up, but it was already too late.

"Fine, you actually brought that man home!"

"You unchaste woman!"

"I'm heading to Xiangjiang right now, so wait for me, cough cough..."

From the handset came Old Watanabe's voice, raging like thunder.

"No, this is all a misunderstanding, listen to my explanation..."

Clack.

Beep...

Old Watanabe quickly hung up, clearly unwilling to listen to Minako Watanabe's explanation.

How did things turn out like this? Both sides messed up.

Minako Watanabe's mind went blank; instinctively she stood up, opened the bedroom door, and went to look for Xu Yuexin.

However, Xu Yuexin had already left, and only Huizi, still in her sexy maid outfit, stood at the doorway.

"I'm sorry... I messed up."

Huizi lowered her cute face, whispering an apology, "He actually didn't touch me."

He didn't touch Huizi?

Minako Watanabe, having just regained some thoughts, was hit with another shock.

Huizi is a girl with an angelic face; her seemingly petite frame actually hides an extremely voluptuous figure.

Could Xu Yuexin really stay unmoved in her presence?

Is he a saint, or simply lacking that ability? "Xu Sang is a very robust man, also very masculine..."

Just as she sensed Minako Watanabe's confusion, Huizi whispered an explanation, trying to make her understand that Xu Yuexin's masculine side had no issue; he simply hadn't touched her.

"You don't need to say anything, I understand."

Minako Watanabe waved her hand, saying in a flustered tone.

It seems Xu Yuexin is an extraordinary man; she miscalculated him.

"Um, actually I don't get it. If the lady wants to be with Xu Yuexin, couldn't she just go herself? Why involve me..."

Huizi observed Minako Watanabe's expression, speaking cautiously.

"I'm doing this out of utmost caution."

"Do you know why I chose Xu Sang?"

Minako Watanabe said gravely.

"Because he's young, because he's tall and handsome?"

"Not just that. Xu Sang is a billionaire from Beijing, and he has no connections with the upper circles of Tokyo or Xiangjiang."

"To me, that means safety."

"I see..."

Huizi suddenly realized and said.

First, letting you go follows the same logic. I've already installed numerous pinhole cameras in the room; if I can successfully become pregnant with Xu Sang's child, I can use the video tape as blackmail, making him keep his mouth shut for life.

Minako Watanabe's beautiful eyes revealed a deep resolve, while she paid no heed to Huizi's feelings.

Huizi, as if already accustomed to all this, showed no reaction except a slightly forlorn gaze.

In Huizi's silence, Minako Watanabe continued to mutter to herself.

"What a pity… all the planning has come to naught."

"He actually… held back…"

"Alas!"

"Please… don't… be sad."

Huizi looked up then, her heart aching as she faced Minako Watanabe, saying, "It's all… my fault."

"Please punish Huizi…"

"No, it's not your fault."

Minako Watanabe forced a smile, spreading her jade‑like arms toward Huizi, and said, "Come, claim your reward."

"Is it really possible?"

Huizi asked in disbelief.

"Mm."

Minako Watanabe smiled and nodded.

"Thank you!"

Huizi was so delighted she nearly wept, stepping toward Minako step by step, throwing herself into her arms, and together they entered the room in an embrace…

……

At this moment, Xu Yuexin was leaning on the balcony of his second floor, holding a tall wine glass, trying to sort out today's events.

Honestly, Xu Yuexin still feels a bit dazed.

As a veteran womanizer, he never imagined that one day a woman would slip him a Sleeping Pill…

It's somewhat both laughable and tragic.

So the question arises: what is Minako Watanabe's intention?

First, we can rule out a honey trap.

The reason is also simple.

When Xu Yuexin first moved in, the property management sent a residential information sheet listing each building's ownership status—owner‑occupied, rented, or unsold.

And Minako Watanabe's unit was clearly marked as owner‑occupied.

In Xiangjiang in 1981, no swindler could afford to buy a 20‑million‑yuan mansion just for a honey trap.

However, one thing is certain: Minako Watanabe sent Huizi over to seize a leverage against him.

This requires probing Minako Watanabe's motive for wanting that leverage.

Business competition? Unlikely.

All of Xu Yuexin's current liquid capital is long on the pound and short on the dollar, a massive market.

Even if Minako Watanabe obtained the desired photos or videos, they would be meaningless.

Because even if Xu Yuexin were blackmailed into exiting the market, other investors would still go long or short as they wish; the pound‑dollar exchange rate would not budge a fraction.

Could it be that during a previous investment he faced off against Minako Watanabe and cut her losses, prompting her to take offline revenge? That's also impossible.

Xu Yuexin's awareness of information security has always been strong; no one knows his identity details.

So… the only remaining possibility, however far‑fetched, is the sole plausible one.

Minako Watanabe really wants… to have a child with him!

She sent Huizi over to take photos, sealing Xu Yuexin's mouth to prevent him from later speaking out and revealing the child's parentage.

Damn, these Japan girls are truly scheming!

Xu Yuexin inhaled a cold breath, grateful that he had held his line then.

Otherwise, he would have been blackmailed with his privacy by Minako Watanabe.

No wonder people say that when traveling the world, the three types of people to beware of are…

children, the elderly, and women.

Xu Yuexin sighed inwardly, having stood on the balcony for a long while.

It wasn't until afternoon that Xu Yuexin drained the remaining wine, turned, and prepared to leave the balcony.

At that moment, a troop of riders entered the edge of his sight, caught by his peripheral vision.

At the front was a white‑haired old man, followed by seven or eight hulking, murderous men.

The men all wore black sunglasses and black suits, and their attire alone marked them as anything but friendly.

And this troop was heading straight for the Watanabe family.

Du Bian Laodeng came over to kill.

As for why he came, it was probably related to me.

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? I was dosed with a Sleeping Pill at noon, and he shows up in Xiangjiang this afternoon?

Xu Yuexin instantly realized and said,

"Come then, if he's acting properly, even if Du Bian Laodeng comes looking for trouble, I'll have something to say."

Under his gaze, Du Bian Huitailang and the Bodyguards hurried behind the privacy‑shielding greenery, after which nothing could be seen.

Several hundred meters away, in a villa, Minako Watanabe sat neatly on a sofa, ready to face the approaching storm.

From the moment she ended the call with her husband, she had mentally prepared herself, contemplating what to say next.

And based on the timing, her husband should now be flying to Xiangjiang.

Click, click.

Not long after, a series of key sounds came from outside the door.

Creak…

As the villa gate was unlocked, Du Bian Huitailang's stern, imposing old face appeared before her.

"You, come upstairs with me."

As soon as they entered, Du Bian Huitailang pointed at Minako Watanabe, his expression serious, and said.

Minako Watanabe nodded and walked toward the elevator with him.

The Bodyguards instinctively fell behind, and Huizi, trying to follow, was sternly stopped by Du Bian Huitailang.

"This is none of your business here."

"But…"

"Step back, Huizi."

At that moment, Minako Watanabe issued a calm command.

Huizi could only obediently leave the two, returning to the living room to stand with her hands clasped.

Du Bian Huitailang and Minako Watanabe continued upstairs, and after a short while the two reached the small sitting room on the second floor.

"You've had a hard journey; have a glass of water."

After Du Bian Huitailang sat down, Minako Watanabe properly went to fetch the kettle, intending to brew tea for her husband.

At that moment, her expression was unusually calm.

Since the matter has occurred, it must be faced calmly.

"Did you only think of bearing his child and inheriting the family business after seeing that young man?"

"No. When I presented the plan to you, he hadn't moved here yet."

"Then why did you act on your own without telling me?"

Du Bian Huitailang blocked the kettle's spout with his hand and asked sternly.

"Because I believe we don't have much time left."

"Oh? You mean I'll die tomorrow?"

Du Bian Huitailang sneered.

"No… I would never think that. It's just that I consider handing the family business to your brother an unacceptable matter."

Minako Watanabe replied calmly.

"…"

Du Bian Huitailang was speechless.

To Du Bian Huitailang, his brother is less a rival than a mortal enemy on life's path.

The hatred between them could not be contained even in a whole book.

Handing the property to his brother truly left him unwilling.

"As I said before, is there any blood relation between a step‑son and a step‑father?"

"Not at all."

"Only because we formalize it as father‑son, can the entire estate be passed to him."

"If I bear another man's child, the child will still call you father after birth; how is that different from a step‑son?"

"No, to be precise, this surpasses a step‑son, because others will consider it your bloodline."

"Moreover, the child will carry at least half of my blood, and I am your wife, your closest person."

"What difference does that make compared to you giving birth yourself?"

Minako Watanabe asked plainly.

"You… cough…"

Facing Minako Watanabe's remarks, Du Bian Huitailang could not utter a word and fell into a violent coughing fit.

Fine, to be able to describe borrowing a seed to bear a child and cuckold him in such a fresh and refined way.

Even a deity who governs debate would probably not be a match for this woman!

Du Bian Huitailang, angry inside, took a deep breath to suppress his cough, then slammed his hand on the table and said, "You and he have already been together, right?"

"Absolutely not." "Really not?"

"Definitely not."

Minako Watanabe shook her head firmly and said, "I cannot admit to something I haven't done."

"Bang!"

"Still dare to deny."

Du Bian Huitailang's anger erupted; he grabbed the teacup and smashed it onto the floor, shouting, "Should I go to that man's house right now and confront him face‑to‑face?"

"You go with me, cough…"

"This… I cannot do it."

"Moreover, I hope you don't go either; is that okay?"

Minako Watanabe had always been calm and composed; upon hearing they were to go to Xu Yuexin's house, a hint of panic briefly appeared on her face.

As long as it doesn't affect Xu Yuexin's side, she is confident that through effort she can secure a few points of hope for the plan.

But if Du Bian Huitailang storms his house, everything will be over.

Du Bian Huitailang's face twisted with anger at her.

"What time is it now, you still protect him! cough…"

"Letter or not Letter I will not leave a single cent for you, watching you and your sister starve to death on the streets!"

Cough—...

Minako Watanabe's complexion darkened.

Because she had been struck at her only soft spot.

"Please... absolutely don't say that."

"I'll just listen to you, then."

"Hmph!"

Du Bian Huitailang, fuming, swept his sleeves aside and left, descending the stairs.

Minako Watanabe bit her red lips, a barely perceptible trace of hatred flashing in her beautiful eyes,

After following him downstairs, Minako Watanabe called Huizi to go out with her.

"You all, come with me."

"Remember to bring the fast‑acting heart‑saving pills."

When they reached the doorway, Du Bian Huitailang gave orders to the Bodyguards, saying,

"Hey!"

The sturdy Bodyguards followed together, causing Huizi to tremble in fear.

What are they planning to do? Minako Watanabe also sensed trouble and hurriedly asked,

"What are you up to?"

"I'm going to have a word with that kid."

Du Bian Huitailang, his face darkened, said, "If you're still worrying about your sister, then stop questioning my decision."

Despicable...

Minako Watanabe cursed inwardly, then helplessly followed Du Bian Huitailang toward the Xu Family, 300 meters away.

Soon, the group arrived at the Xu Family villa's gate and rang the doorbell.

Xu Yuexin was having dinner inside the villa when he heard the doorbell and went to open the video intercom.

Goodness, the screen showed a massive crowd, including Minako Watanabe, Huizi, and at the front, the Laodeng they had just seen.

That Oriental old man had come to accuse him.

Xu Yuexin sneered.

"Open the door quickly, or you'll see what I mean. Cough—..."

Laodeng hammered the wall in anger, saying,

Xu Yuexin shook his head and laughed scornfully.

He told himself he had a clear conscience, while Laodeng's actions displayed a façade of strength masking emptiness.

Who knocks on the door to seek revenge and rings the bell? It's clearly just intimidation.

Xu Yuexin disdainfully said, and opened the door.

Compared with Laodeng, he too was seething with anger.

He was having a good meal, but someone slipped a Sleeping Pill; fortunately his willpower was strong, or trouble would have ensued.

Afterwards, Laodeng, regardless of his own lady, still dared to show up at the door to cause trouble.

He had to meet him properly and give him a good scolding.

Xu Yuexin thought viciously and opened the door early.

In the garden, Laodeng was leading eight Bodyguards forward briskly, each with a ferocious expression, as if they were going to tear him apart and eat him.

"Baka yarou! Get out right now!"

"Otherwise I'll teach you a lesson!"

Seeing Xu Yuexin, Laodeng shouted loudly as if he had met an enemy.

"Shut up, only a grandson would come to see his grandfather."

Xu Yuexin pursed his lips, hands on his hips, and said,

Laodeng, who had been sprinting forward, froze at the words, standing still, neither advancing nor retreating.

Laodeng had come to seek revenge on Xu Yuexin, so logically he should have gone forward.

The problem was, if he kept moving forward, it would be as if he were obeying Xu Yuexin's order, inadvertently acknowledging the grandfather.

"What, the grandson sees his grandfather flinch and can't move?"

Xu Yuexin crossed his arms, chuckled, and said,

Laodeng was completely stunned by Xu Yuexin: no matter what he does, this grandson is already set.

"Cough—... scoundrel, shut up..."

Laodeng, thinking of this, coughed angrily, his lungs nearly spilling out.

A Bodyguard stepped forward, patted Laodeng's back, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Laodeng shook his head slightly after listening and whispered, "You can't do that."

"Anyone who can live here is a socialite; if they resort to violence, there will be trouble."

"Understood?"

The Bodyguard instantly understood: the Watanabe boss only wanted to scare the kid.

"Yes, boss!"

The Bodyguard bowed, nodded, and stepped back.

After briefing his subordinates, Laodeng hesitated, then finally stepped forward, accepting the honorary title of Xu Yuexin's grandson.

He had come because he suspected the lady and Xu Yuexin of having an affair; he couldn't shout at Xu Yuexin from a distance. Otherwise, everyone in the mansion district and hikers on the mountain trail would hear.

"Kid, I ask you, what did you come to our house for today?"

After walking up to Xu Yuexin, Du Bian Laodeng let out a low roar and asked.

"I want to ask you, why did your wife, while she was fine, give me sleeping pills?"

Xu Yuexin said with a cold expression.

What sleeping pill?

What on earth is going on here?

Could it be…

Du Bian Laodeng's face showed surprise, and he looked at his own wife in disbelief.

Minako Watanabe lowered her head in shame and said nothing.

Seeing this, Du Bian Laodeng's body began to tremble, and his already angry face now looked as if his eyes would split.

Could it be… that Minako was the initiator? And that she was the kind who would stop at nothing?

If this is true, then everything is completely different from what Du Bian Laodeng imagined.

He originally thought the script was that a young man would flirt with his young, beautiful, lonely wife, prompting her to consider borrowing his seed to bear a child.

Even though Minako Watanabe denied this speculation, Du Bian Laodeng remained firmly convinced.

Only now, after hearing Xu Yuexin's answer and seeing Minako's reaction, Du Bian Laodeng realized that his wife had not deceived him.

This, this is simply unbearable! "Ho, ho…"

Thinking of this, Du Bian Laodeng clenched his fists, opened his mouth to speak, but not a single word came out.

"President…"

The lead Bodyguard, seeing his boss in an abnormal state, quickly took out a fast-acting heart‑saving pill and opened its lid.

The President's cancer is only in its early stage, but his heart disease is already very severe.

It is so severe that every Bodyguard, including him, is proficient in the method of taking the fast‑acting heart‑saving pill.

"No, I don't need it, ho ho…"

Du Bian Laodeng weakly waved his hand and said, his figure beginning to wobble.

"Huh…"

A gust of mountain wind blew, pressing his suit tightly to Du Bian Laodeng's body, making him look like a skeleton.

His breathing became intermittent, and his palm unconsciously covered his left chest.

At this moment, Minako Watanabe beside him spoke coldly.

"Watanabe, you beast."

"I bet you never expected you'd have a day like this."

"In old age, with no offspring, the clan decided to give all your assets to the brother you despise most."

"The wife you schemed to marry is completely at odds with you, secretly flirting with young men behind your back."

"Ha ha, this is all your retribution!"

Saying that, Minako Watanabe burst into loud laughter, her expression both bleak and like that of a queen who has achieved revenge.

"You, you…"

Du Bian Laodeng trembled as he pointed at Minako Watanabe, but couldn't utter a single word.

"My father was your benefactor; without his support, you could only cling to the already declining Watanabe family and live a life of barely getting by."

"And you, after his death, seized the inheritance he left, leaving our sisters without food or clothing."

"My sister contracted leukemia, and you used the medical expenses as blackmail, forcing me to marry you."

"Do you know? I've long hated you to death!"

Minako Watanabe gritted her teeth, and the once flirtatious glint in her eyes now held only hatred.

Facing the accusations, Du Bian Laodeng was silent at first, and only at the end did he utter in shock: "Wh…what, wasn't the one who got leukemia supposed to be the sister…"

"We deceived you.

"If you want to blame anyone, blame yourself for being too stupid to notice the difference between us twin sisters."

"Why did you deceive me?"

"You beast, never think you'll know the answer."

Minako Watanabe said proudly, "Then go to hell with your doubts!"

"By the way, both he and I were deceiving you; I have long been carrying his child."

"From now on, the Watanabe family's assets will be renamed under Xu."

At this point, Minako Watanabe pointed at Xu Yuexin, revealing a cruel smile.

The family business falling into someone else's hands?

Thinking of this situation, Du Bian Laodeng was so angry he couldn't speak, his complexion turning rapidly purple, his lips darkening to a deep blue.

"Ho… ho…"

He trembled, pointing at Minako Watanabe, incoherent sounds coming from his throat.

Xu Yuexin beside him was dumbfounded.

I'm not, I didn't, so don't talk nonsense.

Don't involve me in the grudge between you two, okay?

Xu Yuexin, full of resentment, said.

What the hell kind of drama have I gotten myself into!

The battle over a wealthy family's inheritance, everyone's genteel ladies seeking revenge on the ungrateful…

Add myself to that, and there's also a cloud of doubt over the heir's lineage.

It's over, the CPU is about to be burned out.

"Du Bian Laodeng, I…"

Xu Yuexin had just begun to say something to the purple‑faced Du Bian Laodeng when Huizi rushed forward, raised her hand, and covered his mouth.

Xu Yuexin yanked Huizi's hand away in one motion, but it was already too late.

Du Bian Laodeng was seen inhaling less and exhaling more, his condition deteriorating rapidly.

"President, President!"

The Bodyguard, seeing something wrong on Du Bian Laodeng's face, quickly coordinated with his colleagues.

Two of them supported Du Bian Laodeng to keep him from falling, one pried open his mouth and jaw, and the lead Bodyguard administered the medicine.

"Huh…"

As the fast‑acting heart‑saving pill entered his mouth, Du Bian Laodeng's complexion improved slightly, and he let out a long sigh.

He didn't die…

Mei Naizi saw this and showed a regretful expression.

"President, let's go to the hospital."

The lead Bodyguard suggested.

"Hmm…"

Du Bian Laodeng weakly nodded and, with the Bodyguards' help, tried to stand.

"Rumble—!"

At that moment, the east wind grew stronger, and the sky cracked with a thunderclap.

"Ugh!"

Du Bian Laodeng let out a wail of terror and rolled his eyes back on the spot.

This…

Xu Yuexin was stunned again.

The person he just revived was scared to death by a thunderclap?

If Mei Naizi's words are true, this must be karma, right?

"Xu Sang."

Amid the rumbling thunder, Mei Naizi calmly looked at Xu Yuexin, "Don't be afraid; this has nothing to do with you."

"I'm not scared."

Xu Yuexin shook his head and said.

Regarding Du Bian Laodeng's death, Xu Yuexin was merely surprised.

His current focus was whether Mei Naizi would accelerate the plan and what she intended to do with him.
