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?

Becoming A Millionaire

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Li Xingyi's cold gaze made Yang Chen's heart skip a beat. He looked at him as if he had gone to see a traitor behind his back.

"Master Li… I went to see the madam just now."

Li Xingyi froze, and his first reaction afterward was to frown. "Didn't I say that she's not allowed to see me here?"

Yang Chen nodded seriously. "Yes, but the madam was here for me, not you."

Li Xingyi's frown deepened. "Don't forget that you have a girlfriend."

Yang Chen was speechless. "The madam only wanted to get her car keys back. She also mentioned that she was broke and that I should get my wedding gift from you, Master Li,"

"She's broke?" Li Xingyi sneered. "How can she be broke when she's married to me? She even has half of my fortune waiting for her when I die."

Yang Chen quickly reached out to touch the green plant next to him. "Master Li, you shouldn't say such things. It might bring bad luck! Not to mention, everyone knows how much Madam Li loves you despite her often disturbing your work. How could slander her pure feelings for you by insinuating that she only wants you for your inheritance?"

Looking at Yang Chen's serious expression, Li Xingyi's gaze darkened. He was wrong. Not long ago, he thought similarly to him. But that thinking changed after he had heard that familiar and strange voice in his head.

"Tell Wu Bing to postpone tonight's social gathering."

Yang Chen nodded and let him change the subject. "Alright, would you like me to make any other arrangements?"

"Take me back to the main residence."

...

'Host, you said that you wanted to earn money. What are your plans?' Wang Jianguo's imagination of Jiang Yule raking in money as a famous actress or a superstar filled its head.

Jiang Yule was driving when it asked her that. The corners of her mouth slowly curled up, and a hint of craftiness appeared in her eyes. 'I'll be raising pigs!'

'Oh, that sounds like an… interesting idea.' Wang Jianguo replied with immense disappointment.

Jiang Yule scolded it, 'Don't you know how much a kilogram of pork costs?!'

'I know how much they sell for, however, there are many other ways of earning money that are a lot more profitable than selling pork!'

Jiang Yule sighed and pitied its ignorance. 'In the world I was originally in, there was a sudden outbreak of swine fever one year. A lot of pigs died, so pork was in short supply. After that, the price of pork naturally rose. Nobody knew how to deal with the virus until later, and many pig farming businesses had gone bankrupt. Their years of hard work had been in vain.'

Jiang Yule smirked. "Pig farming is what I'm good at, so I know how to prevent swine fever. Think about it. Once the price of pork on the market has increased, I will sell mine at a lower price since swine fever won't be a problem for me. Everybody will be rushing to buy my pork."

Wang Jianguo saw her point. 'Then, you'll become a millionaire and live a happy life!'

It finally understood why the host was driving to such a desolate place. 'You must be here to look for a location to build your pig farm.'

Jiang Yule praised it for being smart, then turned around and drove the car back.

She explained patiently, 'Running a pig farm is not as simple as you think. There are many things that need to be done, like handling livestock farming permits. Before obtaining the facility, we also need to check the state of the land. I don't have that much time.' 

'Doesn't that sound like more trouble than it's worth?'

Jiang Yule shook her head. Although it was hard to start her own, she had the option of spending money to buy an existing one. She suddenly regretted not exchanging contact details with that pig farmer just now.

She glanced at the time on her phone and muttered in her heart that she had no time to dwell on it. She had to hurry and pick up Li Sui'an from school.

...

In Joyful Kindergarten, a group of children dressed in bright yellow uniforms were playing around the teacher like a group of happy ducklings. However, Li Sui'an was sitting alone in a corner. The little boy was quiet and seemed a little out of place. Even though he was a cute little dumpling of a boy, he was too mature to socialize with the surrounding children.

Just as Li Sui'an was thinking about how he would complain to his uncle about his evil wife when he got home, a surprised voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Wow! Is that an Ultraman Tiga bag?! That's awesome!"

The self-proclaimed genius Li Sui'an calmly turned his head and saw a child standing beside him. The child's clothes were neater and cleaner than those of the other students. He had cute freckles on his fair face, and was staring intently at his bag with a pair of big black eyes.
