“Little aunt?”
As soon as Bai Juncheng heard this, his eyes widened and his voice involuntarily rose a couple of octaves.
Understanding Bai Heng’s implication, he glared fiercely at Mo Yi. Mo Yi, noticing his reaction, raised an eyebrow. With the help of the knowledge from 006 in his mind, he found it amusing that the actual Bai Juncheng wasn’t as impressive as described in the original host’s memories.
He wasn’t as handsome, fit, or tall as Bai Heng. There was simply no comparison!
While Mo Yi was loyal to his own lover, he wasn’t one to be trifled with when facing others. Seeing the discomfort of his enemy only made him happier. So, he nodded seriously at Bai Juncheng and replied, “Yes, eldest nephew!”
“Who allowed you!” Bai Juncheng was on the verge of exploding. He immediately turned to Bai Heng and said, “Uncle, how could he possibly be my little aunt? Don’t let him deceive you! He’s nothing but a tr—”
Before he could finish his sentence, a single glance from Bai Heng silenced him instantly.
Seeing Bai Juncheng’s expression change from confident to flustered, Mo Yi couldn’t help but smirk, making Bai Juncheng’s face flush with embarrassment.
Bai Juncheng wanted to lash out, to humiliate Mo Yi like he used to, treating him as just another pawn he could manipulate at will. Who was he to be his aunt?
But seeing the warning look in Bai Heng’s eyes, Bai Juncheng had no choice but to swallow his words. Since childhood, he had harbored an inexplicable fear of Bai Heng and never dared to act recklessly in front of him.
Although Bai Heng wasn’t much older than him, ever since taking over the family business, he had wielded immense power, leaving no room for those who opposed him. He had a keen eye for business and had expanded the family’s business several times over. Anyone who crossed him met a grim fate. Bai Juncheng had no desire to become his enemy.
“What’s the matter? Why are you waiting for me here?” Bai Heng asked.
Nothing happens without a reason, and Bai Juncheng was not one to stay quiet. He enjoyed the attention and adoration he received as a young master of the Bai family. Generally, he wouldn’t return to the old mansion unless there was something on his mind.
Hearing Bai Heng’s question, Bai Juncheng forced a smile and said, “Uncle, you see, Director Zhang’s new movie is currently in production, right? If I could play a role in it, I’m sure it would be a hit!”
“Aren’t you a singer?” Bai Heng casually replied, taking off his coat and handing it to the butler who walked over. He then removed Mo Yi’s hat and gently tidied the teenager’s hair.
Hearing Bai Heng’s response and observing his actions, Bai Juncheng’s breath caught for a moment. He took a deep breath and continued, “Uncle, you can’t say that. Nowadays, many artists have diversified careers. Singers can also act, and many actors sing. Besides, I’ve long been interested in the film industry.”
“Director Zhang has always had a good reputation, and every movie of his is a hit. Moreover, Lang Jun, the movie emperor, will also star in it. He’s a guarantee of box office success.”
“So how much do they want to pay you to join the cast?”
With a casual remark, Bai Heng pierced through the facade of dignity. Bai Juncheng’s expression twisted for a moment before he spoke, “T-Two, two hundred million…”

“Is it sweet?” The man asked with a gentle smile, his eyes and brows filled with amusement.
The bright red watermelon flesh, brimming with juice, was deliciously sweet.
Mo Yi ate several pieces, squinting contentedly and nodding. “Very sweet! You should try some too!”
With that, Mo Yi picked up a large, red strawberry and fed it to Bai Heng.
Seeing how obedient he was, Bai Heng immediately smiled and ate it, the two of them exchanging bites back and forth. They looked so intimate and friendly that it seemed like there was no room for a third person in their midst.
Damn it!
Bai Juncheng cursed inwardly, glaring discreetly at Mo Yi.
How come he didn’t realize earlier that this was a demon, sneakily diverting his uncle’s attention at critical moments!
Strange, didn’t he arrange for the other party to be drugged and handed over to Wang Er through his agent?
He even received a message from them before, clearly stating that the matter had been taken care of. So how did this person end up with his uncle in the blink of an eye!
However, now wasn’t the time for him to dwell on the reasons, Bai Juncheng could only cough a few times forcefully, trying to regain Bai Heng’s attention.
Seeing the man look back at him again, Bai Juncheng immediately put on a smile and asked, “Uncle, what do you think?”
Bai Heng swallowed the strawberry in his mouth, wiped Mo Yi’s mouth with a handkerchief now that he had eaten enough, and then looked at his foolish nephew with a plain expression. “I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
He wasn’t foolish enough to invest money in this guy’s proposal. Sitting here and listening was only to gauge Mo Yi’s reaction.
Fortunately, his little one behaved well enough, so he wasn’t interested in hearing more.
“As for investment matters, I’m not interested. If you think it’s good, you can do it yourself. I won’t object.”
After saying that, Bai Heng took Mo Yi and walked towards his room.
“Uncle, wait!”
Bai Juncheng wanted to call out to Bai Heng, but the latter ignored him and quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
“Damn it!” Bai Juncheng cursed under his breath. If he had money to invest, why would he bother with Bai Heng!
Although he had been in the entertainment industry for a long time, he wasn’t really famous. Even though he made quite a bit of money, he was used to spending it recklessly, so he hadn’t saved much.
And even if he could afford it, Bai Juncheng wasn’t willing. Why should he have to invest his own money? With the backing of the Bai family, shouldn’t they support and nurture him?
It was always like this, Bai Heng always ignored him, as if what he said didn’t matter at all!
Even though he had the surname Bai and was a member of the Bai family, his own grandfather was the previous head of the family. In terms of seniority, he should have been the one to lead the family!
It was all his grandfather’s fault for being so confused before he died!
But no matter how much Bai Juncheng hated it, he could only watch helplessly as Mo Yi and Bai Heng left.
At that moment, a middle-aged man with a striking resemblance to Bai Juncheng slowly descended the stairs.
He walked calmly to his side, clearly having seen everything just now.
“Dad, did you see how Uncle treated me? He always does this!” Bai Juncheng immediately complained to his father, Bai Kaiji.
“What did he do this time?”
Seeing his son’s frustrated expression, Bai Kaiji’s face also darkened. After so many years, his son hadn’t made any progress, not even compared to his own younger days.
“Entertainment and film industry was never the main focus of the Bai family’s development. Your uncle’s lack of interest in this investment isn’t surprising.
Besides, do you really think he can’t see through your selfish motives? Are you trying to join the cast for personal development, or because Lang Jun will also be in that movie?”
“Dad!”
Being exposed, Bai Juncheng’s face showed a look of frustration. He did indeed like Lang Jun and wanted to seize this opportunity to join the cast, perhaps even developing a relationship with Lang Jun.
“So what if I have selfish motives? Did you see how Uncle treated me just now? He’s the head of the Bai family now. How can he associate with someone like that and call him my little aunt!
Disgusting! He’s just a naive and destitute kid who has been relying on the Bai family for the past two years. I don’t know what despicable means he used to catch Uncle’s eye.
Dad, you can’t let that guy surnamed Mo succeed!”
But Bai Kaiji didn’t agree with this. His eyes flickered with a different thought.
Just now, when he came out of the second-floor room, he had seen everything that happened downstairs.
He didn’t think that the boy named Mo Yi was as despicable as Bai Juncheng described. He had only heard of this person occasionally, when Bai Juncheng complained and mocked him, saying that Mo Yi was interested in him, like a toad lusting after a swan. But being able to catch Bai Heng’s eye was definitely not simple!
After all, over the years, he had secretly introduced many people to Bai Heng, handsome men and beautiful women of all kinds, but they all failed.
Unexpectedly, this kid managed to succeed and even brought him home, making Bai Juncheng call him his little aunt. This confirmed his identity and acknowledged Mo Yi’s position in his heart.
Listening to Bai Juncheng’s endless complaints, Bai Kaiji waved his hand impatiently.
He actually hoped that this matter was true, that Bai Heng had truly fallen in love.
To think that the Bai family would be handed over to Bai Heng, Bai Kaiji was originally unconvinced.
The previous head of the family was his father, and it should have been the case that the son succeeded the father’s business. But for some reason, the old man gave it to his younger brother’s son.
That Mo Yi may seem like he lacks in scholarly and martial abilities, but he might have other strengths as well. Apart from being younger and good-looking, there may be more to him than meets the eye.
Bai Kaiji believed that Mo Yi was quite ambitious. Perhaps his pursuit of Bai Juncheng in the past was also for the sake of the Bai family’s business. It’s just that Bai Juncheng never took the bait, and somehow Mo Yi found an opportunity to get close to Bai Heng, which was quite impressive!
People like him can be swayed as long as they are offered enough benefits.
The more Bai Heng cares about this person, the more vulnerable he becomes. By then, he’ll have another glaring weakness.
Therefore, this Mo Yi is quite valuable for exploitation.
With this in mind, Bai Kaiji gave Bai Juncheng a cold glance and said, “Don’t meddle in affairs beyond your role. Behave yourself and don’t cause trouble. If I find out, you’ll regret it!”
Bai Juncheng clenched his teeth in anger upon hearing this, but seeing that his father was serious, he could only nod in agreement.
He knew his role very well. He hadn’t made any real achievements outside, and he owed everything to the Bai family. If he angered his father, he would be instantly cut off, and he would have to leave the house in disgrace.
At first I thought Bai Kaiji was a good man, but then I changed my mind under a second… it’s a new record I say ఠ ͟ಠ
Thank you so much for the update! (っ’-‘)╮=͟͟͞͞♡
Yeah sure try pulling strings with Mo Yi involved🙂
Thanks for the chapter!
Bai Jun-trash, isn’t the movie going to make profit? Then invest your own money!
But it’s frightening how these families have so much money and still thinking of pitting others for more ….
