The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 215 How Much Debt to Pay Back

The Lanye Villa District in City A was exceptionally quiet in the night breeze.

The dim yellow light of the streetlights spilled onto the winding path, and occasionally the chirping of insects broke the silence.

Qi Yuxuan's villa is nestled among lush greenery, adding to its tranquility.

Qi Yuxuan gently patted Minglan in her swaddling clothes and hummed a lullaby softly.

Minglan's eyes gradually closed, and her breathing became even and steady.

Watching the child fall asleep peacefully, Qi Yuxuan carefully placed her in the crib, then turned off the light and went to rest.

"Twilight Sparkle, where are you?"

Qi Yuxuan saw Qiu Ziyue standing in the corner, sobbing. The people around her looked at her indifferently, and no one offered a helping hand.

Qiu Ziyue's tears soaked her cheeks, and her helpless eyes deeply pierced Qi Yuxuan's heart.

"Twilight Sparkle, don't cry, I'm here. Who bullied you?"

Qi Yuxuan whispered in the darkness, his voice trembling slightly.

He reached out, wanting to go over and help Qiu Ziyue up, but all he could see was a cloud of smoke, and he couldn't see anything.

"Twilight Sparkle, Twilight Sparkle..."

At midnight, Qi Yuxuan was awakened by a sudden, violent heartbeat.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his heart pounding.

The images from my dream still linger before my eyes.

"Sir, what's wrong?"

The nanny, Liu Ma, came over when she heard Qi Yuxuan shouting.

Minglan burst into tears upon hearing Qi Yuxuan's shouts.

Qi Yuxuan sat up, trying to calm himself down, but the unease in his heart was hard to dispel.

Aunt Liu quickly went over to comfort Minglan.

"It's nothing, I just miss Minglan's mother so much."

Qi Yuxuan got up and walked to the crib, looking at Minglan, his heart filled with concern and worry for Qiu Ziyue.

"Sir, isn't your wife very beautiful? Do you have a picture of her? I'd like to see it."

"Aunt Liu asked."

"No, but she will always be in my heart, and I will never forget her."

"Sir, nowadays we can place missing person notices on television and in newspapers. I think we'll definitely be able to find your wife."

"Yes, I will definitely find her."

Qi Yuxuan silently made a vow, his eyes resolute.

After Minglan fell asleep, Aunt Liu went to rest, and Qi Yuxuan was lost in deep longing.

Thinking back on the events of the past month or so since Lunar New Year's Eve, he felt like he was in a dream.

On New Year's Eve, the policewoman registered his information and asked him where he lived. He said he had no place to live.

The policewoman who was infatuated with her and helped take care of Minglan noticed that Qi Yuxuan had nowhere to stay, so she took the initiative to contact a guesthouse and offered to let Qi Yuxuan stay there.

But when Qi Yuxuan came out, he ran into Director An at the door.

Director An quickly struck up a conversation, saying, "Officer, he's a big star on my set, and also a friend of mine. Let me take him home."

When the policewoman saw Director An coming to pick up Qi Yuxuan, she gestured with her eyes to indicate whether Qi Yuxuan agreed.

Qi Yuxuan nodded.

The policewoman watched Qi Yuxuan leave and said to him:

"My name is Wen Qingrou. If you need anything in the future, please contact me."

Wen Qingrou took out a pen and paper from her police uniform, wrote down her phone number, and handed it to Qi Yuxuan.

Wen Qingrou noticed that Qi Yuxuan didn't seem too keen on accepting her phone number.

He then slipped a piece of paper with his phone number on it into Minglan's patchwork shirt, waved his hand, and turned to leave.

Director An warmly led Qi Yuxuan to a nearby supermarket.

The supermarket was bustling with people, and the shelves were filled with a wide variety of goods.

Director An led Qi Yuxuan to the baby products section.

"Brother Qi, these diapers are of very good quality and suitable for children."

Director An picked up a pack of diapers and some baby formula, and handed them to Qi Yuxuan.

Qi Yuxuan nodded in agreement and casually took out his flying money to pay.

The salesperson explained with a smile:

"We do not currently support this payment method."

Director An glanced at Qi Yuxuan, smiled, and said:

"It's okay, I'll pay."

As he spoke, he took out cash from his wallet and paid the bill with practiced ease.

After leaving the supermarket, the two quickly arrived at Director An's spacious villa.

As the door opens, a clean and welcoming environment greets you.

The interior is simply yet elegantly decorated, with several potted plants in the living room adding a touch of life.

"It's just me and Qin's mom living at home, so it's usually quite quiet."

As Director An spoke, he led Qi Yuxuan into the living room.

Hearing the noise, Qin Ma poked her head out of the kitchen, greeting the guests with a beaming smile:

"welcome!"

"Aunt Qin, could you please prepare some more food? We have guests today," Director An instructed.

"Okay, almost done!"

Qin Ma responded and quickly returned to the kitchen to get busy.

Before long, Qin Ma brought out a table full of delicious food, the aroma of which was irresistible.

Director An and Qi Yuxuan sat down at the dining table and began to enjoy their meal.

The table was laden with all sorts of dishes, including braised pork, steamed fish, stir-fried vegetables, and two bottles of baijiu (Chinese liquor).

"Come on, let's have a drink first!"

Director An raised his glass, a warm smile on his face.

Qi Yuxuan also raised his glass and gently clinked it against his:

Thank you for your hospitality.

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously downed their drinks. As the alcohol intensified, their conversation deepened.

"Speaking of family, my wife ran off with a young man after we had been married for two years."

Director An sighed, his tone tinged with helplessness and bitterness, "That period was really tough for me."

Qi Yuxuan remained silent for a moment, then offered words of comfort:

"Everyone encounters setbacks. The important thing is to face them with strength, and things will gradually get better."

"Good my ass, brother, you have no idea how unlucky I've been these past two years," Director An said angrily.

"What's wrong, Director An? What's troubling you? Tell me."

"I and a few others formed a film crew and cast Lin Feihan as the male lead. I didn't know that the guy was so cunning. He took advantage of me being drunk and altered our Starway Company contract to trick me into signing it."

“That kid has been a member of Blue Eyebrow Company for a long time. Now that the company has gone bankrupt, I have to pay off the debts of Blue Eyebrow Company, which I was cooperating with, according to the contract.”

“Director An, I am not from your country. I am from my wife, but I can’t find her. I am not interested in your affairs and I don’t understand them.”

"But I see you're a righteous person, so I'd like to ask, what will happen if you can't pay off your debts?"

"What else can I do? Lin Feihan altered the contract, so all those debts are now mine. If I can't pay them back, I'll just go to jail."

The two continued drinking and chatting, sharing their stories and experiences.

Although they each had their own troubles, at this moment, they felt the warmth and support brought by friendship.

Although Director An was skeptical about Qi Yuxuan's time-travel story.

But seeing that Qi Yuxuan was exceptionally skilled, remarkably handsome, and had a generous and forthright personality, he concluded that Qi Yuxuan was a benefactor who could save his company.

Qi Yuxuan was also a smart man, and he asked directly:

“Director An, you are the first friend I made when I came to this country. I don’t like to owe people anything, so just tell me how I can help you.”

"Brother Qi, you're so straightforward. Actually, there's nothing else to it, I just want you to be the male lead in my next film. If you work with me, you'll definitely become a big star and save the company."

"But your company went bankrupt, and you still have debts. Who's going to pay them off for you?"

Qi Yuxuan was puzzled.

"It's not a big deal. At worst, I'll sell the house and pay back some of it."

Director An said readily.

"What? How much debt do you have to pay back?"

"One hundred million, or more than one million taels of silver according to ancient valuations."

"What"?

Qi Yuxuan exclaimed in surprise.
