When My Billionaire Husband Became Sick

Li Xingyi was a billionaire CEO with a special gene inside him, one that gave him a body that never fell ill, but would only last him fifty years. Upon his death, half of his inheritance would go to his wife. One day, the man who never had any health issues suddenly started coughing. The nanny rushed to Jiang Yule's side and said anxiously, "Madam, you need to go to the hospital quickly! There's something wrong with Sir!" Jiang Yule could not believe her ears. She looked up and said incredulously, "Are you saying that my husband, who's worth hundreds of millions of dollars, with countless assets under his name, and an iron-clad body that would put mountains to shame... The same man that will allow me to replace him as the number one richest on Forbes Rich list when he dies... is coughing?" Although it was only a slight cough, Li Xingyi watched as his wife, who loved him regardless of his wealth, rushed to the hospital in freezing winds and held onto him tightly as she cried her eyes out. "Why did you suddenly start coughing, my darling? How can I live without you?!" Jiang Yule cried bitterly. Li Xingyi watched this predictable scene with an indifferent look and felt nothing but annoyance. Just as he was about to drive her away like he usually did, he heard a voice inside his head. [Nicely done! Is he coughing? It's time for me to win the lottery, baby! Is this what they call karma? Thank heavens, and Amen to that! How can I live without you? Obviously, I'll inherit your wealth, and then I'll throw a party and dance on your grave!] The voice in his head sounded exactly like his wife's soft and desperate voice, who was still crying before him. He fell silent after hearing it. He was unsure. Should he try listening again?

Aunt Wang nodded. "That's right. A young and talented man like you who is worth tens of billions should start taking care of his body early."

Glancing at Jiang Yule, who was slowly walking over, Li Xingyi waved at Li Sui'an, and the child ran over. After briefly asking him about his first day of school, Li Xingyi frowned slightly and looked at Wu Bing. "Why doesn't the kindergarten teach linear equations in two variables?"

Jiang Yule stopped in her tracks when she heard that. She took out her phone and quickly ordered the book "Communication and Interaction with Neurological Patients" online before she called out to him. "Master Li." 

Jiang Yuxin also walked over from the door. A smile, which was completely unlike her sister's, appeared on her charming face. "Mr. Li, that is only taught in high school."

Li Xingyi looked up at her with his charming amber eyes, which released the tension in Jiang Yuxin's body and deepened the smile on her face. Then, the man opened his mouth to ask, "Who are you?"

Jiang Yuxin quickly put on a smile again after a short moment of embarrassment. "O-Oh, me? I'm Jiang Yule's relative." 

Li Xingyi stood up and said with a hint of distance, "You must be my Mother-in-law."

Jiang Yuxin was speechless. 'Huh? Are you blind?'

Jiang Yule wanted to laugh so hard that she almost got stitches. However, she still had to pretend to be considerate and help. "Master Li, this is my sister, Jiang Yuxin."

The smile on Jiang Yuxin's face froze. Jiang Yule was a complete idiot and always did things that made Li Xingyi unhappy. He was so annoyed by her that he did not come back to the main residence for a long time. Because of that, Jiang Yuxin did not even have the opportunity to get close to him. 

It was not easy for her to find out that Li Xingyi would be here tonight. She put in so much effort to see him, but she never expected him to not recognize her! She even skipped work to come here.

Jiang Yuxin was indeed the original Jiang Yule's sister. Seeing Li Xingyi not recognize her and treat her with a cold attitude, her eyes immediately started to tear up.

Jiang Yule, who had obediently approached Li Xing by this time, could not help but lower her head and let a hint of a smirk appear on her lips. 'Don't you know that he hates it when women cry incessantly? You've gone overboard with your acting, dumb*ss.'

Li Xingyi was amused by Jiang Yule and smiled, but Jiang Yuxin, who happened to see this, thought he was smiling at her and instantly retracted her tears.

The frustration she was feeling was instantly replaced by excitement. Jiang Yule saw him smile as well and began to immerse herself in role-playing. This time, she was playing the role of a butler. "It's been a long time since I saw the young master smile."

Li Xingyi immediately knew where that quote came from. It was from a show called "The Young Master and I."

Standing at the side, Aunt Wang scowled at Jiang Yuxin. She had seen many people over the course of her life, and from the moment this woman entered the door, she could tell that she had ulterior motives. She did not intend to show her any courtesy. "I did not prepare much food today, so I can't have you stay for dinner."

Jiang Yule almost gave Aunt Wang a thumbs up, but she had to suppress her urge, or she would be electrocuted by the system.

Jiang Yuxin smiled and nodded. Then, she turned to Wu Bing and said politely, "Allow us to see you out."

Wu Bing looked perplexed and wondered why he was suddenly being escorted out of the house.

Aunt Wang was also confused. 'Who said anything about Wu Bing leaving?'

With that display, Jiang Yule finally understood that shameless people could be capable of anything.

Li Xingyi, who was standing beside her, could not help but sneer. He thought, 'Only the wicked can truly understand each other'.

Sensing his gaze, Jiang Yule immediately raised her head and looked at him. Then, the corners of her mouth curled up into a sweet smile. "Is anything the matter, Master Li?"

'Stop wasting time. I'm hungry.'

Li Xingyi had to praise her acting skills. If Jiang Yule acted, she would probably win the Best Actress award this year.

Li Xingyi did not say anything about Jiang Yuxin in the end, and although Aunt Wang was unwilling to have her over, she did not protest. She suppressed the disgust she felt for her and let the shameless Jiang Yuxin follow them to the dining room.

In truth, Li Xingyi, who was so immersed by Jiang Yule's performance, had forgotten to chase her sister away.

Jiang Yule looked at Jiang Yuxin, who sat down opposite her. She thought that the grass on the grave of the last person to act so shamelessly must have been at least three feet tall. 

Jiang Yule sighed emotionally when she suddenly thought about Ouyang Xuan. Originally, her plan was to offer some form of compensation to the original after he had miraculously survived four to five stab wounds and the transmigrator's soul leaving his body. After all, having their entire reputation and career ruined by someone else possessing their body would likely make anyone depressed.

However, the system seemed to have already given him some benefits. The last time Jiang Yule went to the hospital to visit him, she saw Ouyang Xuan standing in the garden with a silly smile on his face.
