Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Wife’s Cousin

During the final two days of the May Day holiday, Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin returned to Shanghai.

As for their parents, they would take Xiao Fei’s private plane from Shanghai back to Sichuan Province.

Although they had been away for several days, the house was exceptionally clean.

Before they had left.

Xiao Fei had specifically instructed the management of Star Moon Bay.

As a result, the day before their return, Star Moon Bay management arranged for cleaning staff to personally come over and give the entire villa a thorough cleaning.

"Ahh... home really has the comfiest bed!"

Throwing herself onto the bed in the bedroom, Tang Yuxin hugged the blanket and began rolling around, rolling back and forth.

In the end, the silly girl accidentally rolled too far and fell off the bed.

Thankfully, there was a layer of soft padding on the floor, and the blanket cushioned her fall, so Tang Yuxin wasn’t hurt.

"Why do you act like a little kid?"

"Because I am a baby!"

"Who isn’t a baby anyway?"

Tang Yuxin pouted as she got up, placed the blanket back on the bed, and her cheeks turned red.

Clearly, she felt somewhat embarrassed about her earlier behavior.

"By the way, hubby, I think if we’re not too busy tomorrow, we should ask my cousin over and have a chat with him."

Suddenly, Tang Yuxin spoke.

"That sounds good."

"Might as well settle this matter before you go back to work."

"Mm-hmm~"

Tang Yuxin ran over like an energetic butterfly, hugged Xiao Fei, and gave him a kiss.

The next day.

Xiao Fei spent the entire morning installing a swing in the garden.

Additionally, he fixed three brand-new baby safety seats to the bench hanging from the swing.

This way, even though the babies were still small, they could be securely fastened in the safety seats and enjoy swinging.

Inside the living room.

Tang Yuxin, who was watching TV dramas, suddenly received a call from her cousin, who told her he had arrived at the entrance of Star Moon Bay.

Tang Yuxin immediately dashed into the garden, and upon seeing the scene before her, burst into laughter.

In the garden, Xiao Fei was sitting in the gazebo, in front of a stone table with a pot of tea placed on it. He held a book in his right hand, flipping through its pages, and his left hand was gripping a rope.

The other end of the rope was tied to the swing, and Xiao Fei would occasionally tug the rope lightly, causing the swing to gently sway.

The babies sitting in the three safety seats were all gleeful, evidently enjoying the game immensely.

Tang Yuxin secretly took out her phone to capture this scene, preparing to upload it onto a video-sharing site later. She then walked over and lightly patted Xiao Fei on the shoulder.

"Hubby, my cousin has already arrived."

"Oh?"

Xiao Fei put down the book in his hand and said with a smile:

"Alright, you go pick him up, I’ll bring the kids back inside."

At that, the couple went their separate ways.

After Xiao Fei brought the three babies back to the infant activity area in the living room and asked Xiang Zilan to keep an eye on them, Tang Yuxin returned with her cousin shortly after.

"Sis... brother-in-law, hello!"

The tall young man following Tang Yuxin appeared extremely self-conscious.

Seeing his cousin again, the young man couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

The cousin he remembered was beautiful, but she didn’t look anywhere near as radiant and ethereal as she did now, like a Divine Consort Fairy.

The dazzling Tang Yuxin made the young man hesitate to look at her for too long.

And after stepping into the villa, gazing at the palace-like luxurious decor, he seemed even more nervous, moving awkwardly as though afraid of breaking something.

"Don’t be nervous, sit down."

Xiao Fei gestured for him to sit beside him.

"What’s your name?"

Seated beside Xiao Fei, the young man lowered his head and said, "Brother-in-law, my name is Guo Yong."

"I’m Xiao Fei, though you call me brother-in-law, I should actually be a few years younger than you."

Guo Yong had at least graduated from university and had been running his startup for a year, while Xiao Fei was still a junior in college.

"I... I know."

Guo Yong looked at Xiao Fei, silently marveling.

This brother-in-law, who was apparently younger than him, didn’t seem like an ordinary individual.

He glanced at the infant activity area next to the sofa; the three adorable, chubby babies were playing with Xiang Zilan.

Sanbao, playing intently, suddenly raised his head to look at Xiao Fei.

"Dada..."

"Aww, Sanbao, you’re so sweet~"

Xiao Fei walked over and playfully pinched Sanbao’s cheek.

At this moment, Tang Yuxin served both Xiao Fei and Guo Yong a cup of tea.

"Thank you, sis."

"Don’t mention it, just treat this place as your home."

After speaking, Tang Yuxin sat down beside Xiao Fei.

Xiao Fei asked, "Tell me about your situation, then?"

"I heard that after graduation, your business failed because someone scammed you?"

"Yes."

Guo Yong sighed.

"I studied software engineering in college and developed some things to sell, so by the time I graduated, I had saved up nearly 400,000 yuan."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Fei raised an eyebrow slightly.

This Guo Yong seemed to have some talent after all.

"After graduating, I took that money and partnered with a classmate to open a company."

"Because we were classmates, I didn’t pay much attention when drafting the contract. As it turned out, when he embezzled the funds and ran away, I discovered the contract had a very serious loophole. The company went bankrupt, and I ended up owing nearly a million yuan in debt."

After briefly summarizing, Guo Yong went on to explain in detail. Worried that Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin might think he was lying, he produced various pieces of evidence, including the contract.

Xiao Fei skimmed through them briefly, forming his judgment.

He then scrutinized Guo Yong.

Working tirelessly at a courier company to pay off his debts while also delivering food as a side gig, Guo Yong clearly hadn’t been resting well. His face was marked by heavy dark circles, and he looked utterly exhausted.

Still, his gaze remained resolute, showing little trace of confusion.

"What plans do you have for the future?"

Instead of immediately offering help, Xiao Fei asked about his intentions.

Guo Yong nodded firmly.

"I do have a plan, brother-in-law."

"I’m actually halfway through developing a project. When the company failed, the development halted, but my plan now is to work and save up money, little by little finish the software, and then find a buyer to sell it for a good price. Once sold, I’ll be able to pay off my debts and start anew."

"What about the person who embezzled the funds?"

"Have you considered trying to recover any money from him?"

Tang Yuxin asked.

"It’s useless."

Guo Yong shook his head helplessly. "The loophole in the contract was my oversight from the start. This kind of case won’t win in court—I’ve already consulted several lawyers. They all told me I’d have to accept the loss."

"Based on the current evidence, the odds of recovering anything are far too slim."

Xiao Fei nodded thoughtfully.

"Can you describe your software project to me?"
