Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Logically speaking, they're all in the same boat. Later on, Xia Yiyi will need to put in a lot of effort. Her request isn't unreasonable.

Even without my help, given Ximen Lang's personality, he would definitely give her what he deserved in the future; it was just a matter of time. I didn't need to worry about it at all, nor was it necessary.

But in reality, Bai Ling felt uncomfortable.

It was as if half of her most cherished possession had been taken away for no reason, and she couldn't even control her facial expressions; Bai Ling's face instantly darkened.

Seeing Bai Ling's reaction, Xia Yiyi's expression immediately turned ugly.

It was truly unbearable, and Xia Yiyi immediately uttered some harsh words.

"Hey, seriously? You've left me more than a month behind, and I haven't said a word! Now, all I want is what I deserve, and this is how you react! Are you even capable of anything? You're not planning something bad to sabotage me, are you?"

"How could that be? We're best friends!"

"So you're betraying your best friend, right?"

Goodness, just a few words and he's completely exposed Bai Ling's little secret thoughts.

She was genuinely afraid that Bai Ling, her "plastic" friend, might cause trouble behind her back and ruin her plans, so Xia Yiyi earnestly advised her.

"Sister Ling, really, that's enough. You've been having a blast for over a month, and you've been strutting around with me for over a month. Even if I got this basic version of the cheat, I'd only barely be on the same starting line as you. I can't surpass you, and you won't lose out, so why are you doing this?"

"Besides, wouldn't it be great to have a helper to share the heavy workload and free you from endless tasks? We can each take charge of one area—you can manage your Beijing world, and I'll take care of my descendants. Sisters working together are invincible! How wonderful is that! Why, why can't you understand and accept this?"

Goodness, he's both someone who can't surpass Bai Ling and a good helper, making Bai Ling feel embarrassed.

The key point is that, in the long run, the trend of Xia Yiyi being given a cheat code by Ximen Lang is fundamentally unchangeable.

I like to treat everyone equally.
Ximen Lang, who at least treats the two sisters equally, will definitely do so in the future, letting each of them manage their own affairs.

There's absolutely no point in trying to stop them.

Thinking this way, and feeling this awkward, Bai Ling finally came to terms with things a bit.

There was absolutely no delay.

He quickly stopped, his face full of shame.

"Stop talking, stop talking."

On the other hand, Bai Ling immediately expressed her opinion.

"You can rest assured about this. As your best friend, and someone who always wants you to be well, I definitely won't stand in your way! Not only will I not stand in your way, but I'll also think about how I can best help you! Believe me, the reason I hesitated just now was because I was thinking about how I could best help you!"

Whether Xia Yiyi believed it or not, Bai Ling herself believed it after a brainwashing session, which finally suppressed Bai Ling's shame and embarrassment, and also gave Xia Yiyi an explanation that was at least acceptable on the surface.

Then came the problem.

"Well, even if I wanted to help you, I couldn't get involved. You know what Ah Lang means; he just wants to play along and doesn't want to get too involved in the specifics of our affairs."

"You can do whatever you want in private, but you can't do anything reckless in front of him. He doesn't want to know or understand these things. In this situation, I just want to help you, but where should I start?"

This is indeed a problem.

But upon closer examination, you'll realize that this isn't a problem at all. Xia Yiyi, who had been pondering this matter for a month, didn't need Bai Ling's help at all.

A word
"I'll be thankful as long as you don't cause trouble!"

But that's definitely not how it could be said.

We certainly can't say that until we actually receive the benefits.

Therefore, although Xia Yiyi didn't take Bai Ling's statement seriously and even looked down on it, she still praised Bai Ling on the surface.

After praising Bai Ling to the skies, Xia Yiyi finally revealed her understanding and her solution.

"My approach is actually quite simple: just go along with Ah Lang's wishes completely. Isn't he unwilling to delve too deeply into the specifics of our two sides' affairs, and instead turning a blind eye to the fait accompli that has already been created? Then let's start from that direction!"

“Perfect, since you’ve already brought me here, I might as well not leave! I’ll stay here in the 49 City World, in the guard battalion! I’ll stay here, and then I’ll call Ah Lang. I’ll call him back under the pretext that we’re almost at the last stop.”

"As long as we don't bring this up in public, given Ah Lang's personality, he'll definitely tacitly agree. Wouldn't that solve all the problems?"

Hey, you know what, this is actually a very feasible method.

"But there are still risks involved. It's not appropriate for just the two of us to make such a big decision."

Seeing that Bai Ling had come again while they were talking, Xia Yiyi couldn't help but say something.

"This isn't suitable, that isn't suitable. If it's not suitable at all, Ah Lang's child will be born to that little vixen outside! At that time, not to mention me, you'll also have to make way for Xiao Si and give her room! Big sister, can't you focus on the important things?! Are you confused? Can't you tell which side is more important and which is less important?"

This left Bai Ling speechless.

Indeed, given this fundamental premise, everything else is secondary and open to discussion.

Finally, Bai Ling accepted the result.

then
What else is there to say?

After each of them reported the situation to their superiors, and after receiving approval from their superiors—whether out of hesitation or eagerness—they all agreed to the terms.

Xia Yiyi immediately settled down in the guard camp. The guard camp, or more specifically, the entire city of Beijing, immediately welcomed a new living ancestor who was untouchable and could not be spoken of.

It's a perfect 50/50 situation. Hao Pingchuan is supporting her on one side, Gao Cheng is taking care of her on the other, and there's also Lao Luo, the patriarch, who's always trying to appease her and make sure she's taken good care of everything.

The two of them were living a wonderful life.

As they drew ever closer to their final destination, Songjiang Prefecture, the two finally reached the point where the ugly daughter-in-law had to meet her in-laws and confront Ximen Lang.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Seeing that Ximen Lang is getting more and more outrageous, now he doesn't show his face for a week or even longer.

Not only do they not show up, but they also rarely call back.

How can this be allowed?

To avoid any unforeseen complications, the two immediately launched a barrage of phone calls, effectively summoning Ximen Lang back. (End of Chapter)
