Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Curious, Su Bin inquired, “How did you respond to him?”
Qin Zhenzhen began to explain her inner turmoil. “I’m not really inclined to collaborate with him.”
“But we’re running low on funds.”
Qin Zhenzhen found herself grappling with conflicting emotions.
As a transmigrator, she knew the books plot had yet to formally unfold. However, she and Su Bin appeared to be entangled in its narrative.
She felt compelled to lay the groundwork for their future.
When the book’s plot did kick off, the original male and female protagonists would gain wealth illicitly. The male lead would be a clandestine magnate, while the female lead would be an openly influential tycoon.
Together, they would control the nation’s economic destiny, with the power to dismantle anyone in their path.
It appeared that Lin Nan had already met this fate, and so had Su Bin.
Qin Zhenzhen had no desire to see the original book’s protagonists manipulate the world’s fate. Instead, she wanted to steer the plot’s development.
To take charge of the unfolding storyline, she needed to become the wealthiest individual before the book’s narrative formally commenced. She had to grasp this world’s economic lifeline first.
At present, she was in dire need of funds, but she couldn’t divulge her thoughts to Su Bin.contemporary romance
Su Bin smiled and voiced his agreement, “You made the right choice. I also oppose you collaborating with Lin Nan.”
“If you’re looking for a partner, you might as well call me.”
Qin Zhenzhen was surprised. “Do you have money?”
Su Bin told her mysteriously, “I don’t have it now, but I might in a few days.”
Two days after Lin Nan’s initial visit, the Old Marquis dispatched Butler Chen from the Marquis Mansion to the prefecture capital to locate Su Bin.
Butler Chen, a sharp and capable middle-aged man, held a position of deep trust within the Old Marquis’s entourage.
He began by introducing himself and then elucidated the situation to Su Bin, saying, “Upon learning of your existence, the marquis was filled with great excitement and promptly embarked on a quest to find you.”
“However, the Marquis, owing to his advanced age, faced a trying journey that stirred his emotions considerably. He fell ill during the return trip to the capital.”
“Upon reaching the Marquis Mansion, he was bedridden and unable to rise.”
“Nevertheless, the Marquis, despite his ailing condition, managed to compose a formal petition to the palace that very day. He informed the Emperor of your discovery and even requested a Royal School admission for you.”
“The Emperor has graciously granted his approval, much to the Marquis’s delight. ”
“Originally, the Marquis had intended to personally fetch you and escort you to the capital. Regrettably, his physician has cautioned against subjecting him to any more jolts on the road, as it could endanger his life.”
“As a result, the Marquis has instructed me to convey his message and bring
Young Master to the capital.’
Su Bin inquired directly, “How is the Marquis’s Lady faring now?”
Butler Chen had already devised a plausible explanation. “The Marquis’s Lady is presently confined to the Marquis Mansion, akin to a form of house arrest. Due to the Marquis’s ailment, she lacks the capacity to address this matter at the moment.”
“However, the Marquis has assured that he will handle the situation in due course. His primary concern is for Young Master to begin his studies at the Royal School. The Emperor’s benevolence is immeasurable, and it is imperative for you to enter the institution expeditiously.”
Su Bin shook his head resolutely. “Studying at the Royal Academy is not my desire.”
“I’ve made it clear before. I won’t return to the Marquis Mansion until I’ve unraveled those mysteries.”
Butler Chen found himself in a challenging position. “Securing a Royal School degree is no small feat. I implore you to reconsider.”
Su Bin lapsed into a contemplative silence, his countenance betraying inner conflict.
Qin Zhenzhen recognized that Su Bin was once again putting on an act.
He had long made up his mind not to return to the Marquis Mansion, yet he felt compelled to feign ambivalence.
Butler Chen continued his counsel. “Young Master, please understand the Marquis’s predicament. He bears the weight of remorse for events that transpired more than two decades ago. Simultaneously, he contends with the scrutiny of public opinion.”
“My journey to find you was far from simple, and it pained me deeply when you denied me as your family..”
