FOD: Xue Zi Xuan 10.1

Chapter 10.1 – A World With Only Two People*

[*T/N: A world with only two people usually refers to a romantic couple.]

Ever since he assembled the villain system, Zhou Yun Sheng has successively bought many more parts and plans to make some more practical models. Some parts were not available on the market, so Xue Zi Xuan directly ordered several machine tools for him and had them sent to the Xue Manor, which indirectly led to the repeated expansion of the garage.

Xue Rui’s prestige in the company continued to decline. His good son not only won over a majority of the company’s elite backbone, but he also took advantage of Xue Yan’s financial crisis to acquire a heavy machinery manufacturing company under his banner.

This was related to Huang Yi who was currently studying mechanics on his own. It was clear that this generous merger and acquisition was for the boy.

The entire Xue family was in a state of being suppressed by a low pressure. Xue Rui greatly regretted it. If he had known earlier that his son would be so ruthless and domineering when doing things and turn him into a figurehead as soon as he stepped on the business world stage, then he would have never made him retire from the music stage.

Xue Li Dan Ni was also dissatisfied. Anyone who got home after getting off the plane only to find that their favorite greenhouse has been demolished and transformed into a workshop would be in a state of collapse.

She stood at the door of the workshop and scowled. The little bastard didn’t speak a word to her, didn’t give her a single glance, and just turned on the rumbling machine tool, drowning out her voice and making her powerless from head to toe.

Her proper upbringing restricted her from rushing over there and trying to tear the boy apart with her bare hands. She could only grit her teeth and leave.

She waited for her son to get off work and immediately went to the entrance to ask him: “Why did you tear down my greenhouse?”

“I’ll have a new one built for you.” Xue Zi Xuan said casually as he bent over and changed his shoes. “I had the gardener move your flowers to the eastern flowerbed. Currently, they’re well taken care of. I took a fancy to a building under construction, Royal Court, have you heard of it?”

Xue Li Dan Ni calmed down at her son’s breezy attitude and nodded.

“I’ve heard of it. It’s in the southern suburbs. The villa area is near the mountains and by the water. The environment is very good.”

“It’s good as long as you like it. I have already bought Building 1 in Block A. This is the key. It has a swimming pool, back garden, glass greenhouse, and piano room. If you have time soon, pack up and move there to live with Father.”

He had originally prepared this house for himself and his teenager, but since Xue Yan no longer posed a threat, it was more convenient to live here. At least the space here was large enough for expanding the workshop.

Xue Li Dan Ni was confused. After a long while she asked in a dumb voice: “Are you driving us away?”

“If you don’t want to move, I can take Xiao Yi to live there.” Xue Zi Xuan changed his shoes, walked into the living room, saw Xue Jing Yi curled up on the sofa, and added: “That’s right, I contacted a Swiss nursing home. The conditions are very nice. You guys send her away in a few days.”

Xue Jing Yi nearly smashed the TV remote control in her hand, and Xue Li Dan Ni jumped like thunder.

“You’re crazy! Not only are you sending us away, but you also want to send your little sister away? Are you heartless, huh? Go, go to the hospital with me, I’ll have the doctor look you over, see if I forgot to give you a heart when I birthed you.”

As she spoke, Xue Li Dan Ni began to cry. She couldn’t bear any more changes. Xue Jing Yi hurried to her side and hugged her to comfort her. She stared at her elder brother with tearful eyes and wailed: “Brother, don’t send me away, okay? How can I live alone abroad? Are you trying to push me to my death?”

Xue Zi Xuan was unmoved and went upstairs with his briefcase.

When Zhou Yun Sheng returned to the Xue manor, he was greeted by the resentful eyes of Xue Li Dan Ni and Xue Jing Yi. He arched an eyebrow in surprise, but did not ask anything, and swayed up the stairs to the second floor.

Xue Li Dan Ni was struck speechless by his unconcerned attitude: “If we had known earlier that things would turn out like this, then we would not have brought him here back then. Your father and I originally wanted to save you, but how could we have foreseen that we would harm you instead, and also harm your brother.”

Xue Jing Yi had completely calmed down. Perhaps because of too much stimulation lately, she clearly felt that her mental capacity was getting stronger and stronger. If it were in the past and she heard that her brother was going to send her away, she would have passed out in agony long ago, but now she was sitting peacefully, and she could even grasp the key points of Xue Mother’s words.

“Save me? How could he save me?”

A terrible but extremely longing thought crossed Xue Jing Yi’s mind.

  1. Thank you so much for your hard work~! And these two updates today (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ Hope you’re doing fine!

  2. [ which indirectly led tot eh repeated expansion of the garage. ]

    There’s a typo (・∀・)

    Thank you for the update, stay safe & healthy~

  3. Im literally suspecting you’ll split the part till 12 something 😂😂😂 but anyway Thanks for the double update ☺️

    1. I always translate about the same amount of text for each part, which is roughly 1300 Chinese characters. I’m predicting 8 parts for chapter 10, but for a shorter chapter like chapter 12, there will only be 4 parts. 🙂

  4. thank you so much for translating this extra! i was really excited when i learned it existed. your translation is also really high quality, and i enjoy reading your translator’s notes! thank you again and (belatedly) merry christmas!

  5. Are you only allowing advance chapter purchase to those who subscribe to your Patreon or is that something available for your Ko-fi supporters as well? I’m asking because I only want to purchase advance chapters of this (QWFOD:XZX) work. I cannot rationalize paying $80 per month to only read 1 series that is only 3 completed chapters ahead for a series that may take you awhile to finish. I just can’t.

    1. Yes, advanced chapters are currently only available on Patreon. The tiers are meant to encompass all of my ongoing stories, and I agree that 80 for just one story is way too much, so I personally don’t recommend it.

      Thank you for reading though, and I will do my best to translate when I have spare time, but I am currently inundated with work because a lot of my co-workers are out sick. TAT

  6. Damn. Jing Yi already thought of Yun Sheng being a container for her heart! God i hate this woman. I want bash bash bash her hair until she’ll die of pain.

  7. Hi, have you completed this XZX arc? is there a way for me to pay and read the next chapters of this story only?

    1. Hi Crimson_Rain_
      To answer your question, I’m still not done translating this story yet. If you’re curious, Patreon has up to chapter 13.2 at the moment (and the Chinese raws have up to chapter 15, so close-ish but not yet). Currently there isn’t an option to read just one of my ongoing stories. I’m really sorry. TAT

  8. *1 month later*

    Uh… You ok? Constantly going MIA or whatever… Just wanna know if you are OK and when the next part is coming.

    1. Hi there, I’m still doing okay atm. Thank you so much for your concern! ♡

      I simply don’t have as much time to translate as I used to. I’m working in healthcare during this pandemic, and a lot of my coworkers are out sick lately, so I’ve been pulling a lot of overtime to cover for them.

      I try to translate a sentence here or a paragraph there whenever I can, but it still takes time to finish translating one chapter. Thank you for your patience and understanding. 🙂

  9. Thank you for translating! I thought this was dropped a while ago in 2019 tbh lol. Can’t believe FOD’s still going

  10. Thanks for your translation!!! I just binge-read FOD (main story + extras) for 2 weeks and with this chapter I read all the available content ^^
    I can’t wait for the next chapters!!!
