Yang Tianci’s wrist was squeezed in Jiang Chen’s hand, and it was so painful that it twitched, but when he heard Yang Si’s words, he couldn’t care about the pain, and quickly said: “Sister, what are you talking about, it’s not that I don’t want to lend you money, it’s because we really don’t have money, us siblings’ blood is thicker than water, how can I not lend you money if you really have need? I’ll be sad if you say that.”

Jiang Chen’s hand exerted more force, and seeing Yang Tianci’s instantly distorted expression and angry eyes, he smiled: “Uncle, I heard that you just made a bit of money from stock trading a few days ago, seemingly about 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, first use that money to pay us back is also fine.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“How do you know!”

When Yang Tianci blurted this out, Yang Si, who did not even have the time to be surprised, instantly felt cold all over her body.

This was the good little brother she spent so much energy taking care of when she was younger, and had helped out desperately when she grew up. Cherishing and protecting him even regardless of arguments with her husband.

When she had money, he lay on top of her and leached blood desperately, able to say anything to please her for money, but when she encountered difficulties, he would run faster than anyone else. Yang Maosheng was only twelve years old now. If he hadn’t heard it from the people around him, he wouldn’t have said those words just now. It could be seen what her little brother’s family usually said about them.

“Sister!” Seeing Yang Si’s expression, Yang Tianci was a little panicked, and he quickly said: “Don’t listen to that kid, don’t listen to Jiang Chen’s nonsense, how could I have 40,000 or 50,000, it’s impossible, if I have the money why wouldn’t I lend you the money, right?”

“So what if you have money? We won’t lend it even if you have it!” An icy sneer sounded, and an old lady in a cotton-padded jacket walked out. She looked at Yang Si and Jiang Chen without concealing her disgust, “So what if Tian Ci has money? It’s his ability to have money! It’s our old Yang family’s money! As if we will give you, a married daughter, to treat a cripple that who knows will even be cured or not? Daring to scheme money from your little brother! What? Are you even schemeing when your father and I will die, and how much money you will get if we die?”

Yang Si subconsciously retorted: “Mom, how could I think like this, I…..”

“That’s exactly what you think!” The old lady had a hunched back, but her pointed finger almost touched Yang Si’s nose, “If you don’t think so, why would you come to your little brother to ask for money? You want to force me and your father to death? You’re only happy when we’re dead, aren’t you?”

Yang Si was pointed at and scolded, her heart iced over, and her hands and mouth trembled, but she found that she couldn’t say a word.

Seeing that she didn’t speak, the old lady became even more imposing. After scolding Yang Si, she started scolding Jiang Chen: “It’s you, you little bastard who just yelled at my grandson? So what if you have good grades? In my eyes, you are not even comparable to a hair on Sheng Sheng’s head. You’re not even worthy of carrying his shoes! If you have the ability, go and spill out shit and urine for your cripple father, don’t show off in front of our old Yang family’s house!”

“Mom!” Yang Si shouted: “How could you say that to Chen Chen! He is also your grandson!”

“What grandson?” Old Mrs. Yang spat and said, “The nose, eyes, and mouth don’t look like my old Yang family, nor does he have our Yang family surname. How is he my grandson?”

Jiang Chen had no objection to these words, because he indeed did not seem to have the blood of the Yang family, not only the Yang family, but also the Jiang family as well. But Yang Si was so angry at her mother’s favoritism that her face turned pale. She couldn’t tell how she was feeling now. Between the anger and the cold heart, there was unexpectedly a hint of ease and freedom.

Yang Si was full of hatred, but calmed down instead: “You don’t recognize Jiang Chen as your grandson, then do you recognize this daughter?”

“If you want me and your father to recognize you, then fine.” Old Mrs. Yang looked condescendingly at her and snorted: “As long as you divorce that cripple and remarry immediately, your father and I will recognize you. If you want to hang onto this mess for the rest of our life then don’t blame me for not having a daughter like you.”

“Okay!” Yang Si said expressionlessly, “From today on, I only have my husband and son, no more parents and little brother. From now on, our paths will no longer cross, and no matter if our two sides live well or badly, it is irrelevant to the other.”

The old lady didn’t expect that Yang Si would actually dare to respond like this, her eyes almost rolled back in anger, but Yang Tianci’s heart skipped a beat, he didn’t want to lose his sister’s subsidy! No matter what happened to her now, he didn’t have to pay anyway. If things are solved in the future, he could still get money from his sister and brother-in-law. But once they have a true falling-out, then he would have one less cash cow!

It was not just Yang Tianci who thought this way, but also the old lady Yang, who had always bullied her daughter who never showed any resistance. She had already found a 50-year-old old man who still had yet to find a wife, and they didn’t care whether her daughter was married or not or had any children before. The bride price was promised to be 10,000 yuan!

Old Mrs. Yang and Yang Tianci immediately wanted to say something to smooth things over, but before they had time to speak, old Mr. Yang, who had not said a word, opened his mouth, the wrinkles seeming like ravines from his frown: “Since you said that, our old Yang family will no longer have a daughter like you again!”

“Dad!”

“Old man!”

“Shut up.” The old man Yang shouted angrily, looked at Jiang Chen with a dark expression, and said, “In the end, it’s not the blood of the Yang family after all, you and your mother will never step through my Yang family’s door again!”

Jiang Chen nodded obediently, and even smiled at them, then under the angry eyes of the Yang family, he supported Yang Si and said, “Mom, old Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang doesn’t recognize you, but you have me and Dad, we can always think of a solution, let’s go.”

Old Mr. Yang’s face became even darker when Jiang Chen said “old Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang”, but Yang Si’s eyes suddenly reddened.

Her parents were partial to her little brother, and her little brother used her as an ATM. She was used to these things, and she had long held complaints in her heart. Apart from being sad and chilled, she couldn’t express resentment at this moment. After all, it was her parents who gave birth to her and raised her.

But how could they! How dare they treat Jiang Chen like this!

This was the baby she had been protecting in her arms for fear of him bumping into anything. She was only worried about her son, who she wanted nothing more than to cherish and care for in all aspects, being rejected by her relatives today and had the most vicious words used to insult and abuse him, but even so, he did not show it. There was no trace of sadness, and even to reassure her, he had to force a smile.

Such a family, even if all weighed together, couldn’t match her precious son!

Such a family, even if all weighed together, couldn’t match her precious son!

“Let’s go!”

Yang Si grabbed Jiang Chen’s hand and took him away from here without the slightest nostalgia.

After leaving the gated community, the anger on Yang Si’s face faded, replaced by unconcealed sorrow and resentment.

Jiang Chen’s originally smiling expression darkened upon seeing this. He pursed his lips, but he didn’t know what to say.

That Yang Si and the Yang family would fall out so quickly. In fact, he helped fuel the flames. On the bus, he used the word “repay the money” to reverse Yang Si’s mindset, making her change from the anxiety and uneasiness of borrowing money to naturally at ease at getting back her money. Once she accepted this psychological suggestion, she would be a little less tolerant when facing the suppression of the Yang family.

However, a single word could only plant a seed. If it wasn’t for the aggressiveness and insults of the Yang family later, this seed would not be able to take root and sprout quickly, and taking root and sprouting was not enough. Jiang Chen wanted that seed to grow into a big tree. Big enough that it could break through Yang Si’s bottom line and make her break with the Yang family completely.

And the fertilizer that could make the small seedling grow into a towering tree was himself.

Jiang Chen knew better than anyone how much his mother loved him. She could endure all difficulties and dangers, endure all insults and injustices, and even wipe her face and continue on despite being pushed into the mud, but the one thing she couldn’t stand was for her child to suffer as well.

Therefore, from the moment Jiang Chen decided to follow, Yang Si and the Yang family were doomed to end in a falling out.

After doing all this, Jiang Chen had no regrets. The Yang family was a group of blood-sucking leeches. Letting them do as they please would only bring harm to himself. Getting rid of them early to stop the loss in time was the smart thing to do.

But seeing Yang Si’s lonely expression, he was distressed and a little annoyed at the same time. If he didn’t fan the flames when he just spoke, the Yang family might not have said so much, and his mother might not be so sad now.

When they got to the bus stop, Yang Si finally opened her mouth.

She looked up at her tall and handsome son, and suppressed the tears in her eyes: “Chen Chen, don’t listen to what your grandfather and grandmother said just now, they don’t treat you as their grandson, and you don’t have to treat them as relatives, let alone feel bad about them. It’s all Mom’s fault, bringing you here, yet letting them insult you and bully you like this…..”

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, and after seeing the distress and self-blame in Yang Si’s eyes, he realized the reason for her sadness, and the hands on his sides also clenched into fists.

“Mom.” Jiang Chen’s fist-clenched hands relaxed, and he placed them on Yang Si’s shoulder lightly, and leaned over to look at her: “I’m not sad, so don’t blame yourself for it, I haven’t had much contact with the Yang family since I was a child, and you also know that I never liked them in the first place. Putting it in an unpleasant way, in fact, I have never regarded them as relatives. In this case, I naturally won’t feel sad because outsiders scold me a few times. I’m just angry that they don’t treat you well.”

Hearing him say this, Yang Si’s tears finally couldn’t be suppressed. She covered her mouth and sobbed out loud. She only sobbed a few times and then suppressed it again. She nodded her head repeatedly: “Mom is not sad, as long as Chen Chen is not sad then Mom will not be sad. From now on, Mom will only be sad for you and Dad, and Mom will only have you two as family, no one else!”

After she said these words, her tearful eyes shone with a clear and firm light, and the depression and sadness that had just shrouded her body were also swept away. After wiping away her tears, she even smiled and murmured: ” In fact, this is the best way to go.”

The bus stopped slowly, Yang Si wiped her tears again, got onto the bus first, and said, “Come on, let’s go home.”

Jiang Chen pursed his lips and echoed her: “Let’s go home.”

Before getting into the bus, he glanced at the direction of Yang Tianci’s gated community, and the coldness in his eyes was undisguised.

In the first life, after his Mom and the Yang family had a falling out, Yang Tianci and his family still did not trouble his family any less. Even after the death of his Mom, he even went to make a scene at his school for the insurance money, slandering him for embezzling the money his mother left to his uncle, forcing him to drop out of school. After that, when he found out that he and Huo Bo and Shen Xu started a company, he shamelessly came to recognize kinship again, pretending that nothing had happened, and forcing him to compromise out of blood relationship.

At that time, he was so annoyed that he found someone to lead Yang Tianci and Yang Shengmao, who had not graduated, to become addicted to gambling and paying for prostitutes. Within three months, Yang Tianci’s family was destroyed.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

In his first life, he didn’t take Yang Tianci and his family seriously, but now it seemed that the timing of Yang Tianci’s appearance and the trouble he brought was too clever and coincidental, as if someone was manipulating everything from behind the scenes.

Jiang Chen knew who that person was.

In this life, he would not only make it so that the Yang family’s ending would be even more tragic, but also make the person behind them thousands of times more tragic.

Quickly going through the content of “Dominating Life” in his mind, Jiang Chen looked up at the sky, his slender fingers blocking some of the sunlight, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards.

The content of that book was too realistic, although it only depicted his short life from the perspective of cannon fodder that was not even a supporting role, but if everything was true, then the ups and downs and the schemes and conspiracies of the first life hidden under the undercurrent would still come his way.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

To verify that the book was genuine was very simple. The end of April was the time for the school physical examination, and everything would be clear at that time.

He really wanted to know whether He Qianjian and his system could withstand his vengeance after losing the advantage of one side in the light and the other in the dark.

Beside the flower bed, a dirty wild cat flashed by. Jiang Chen followed the sound and looked over, but only saw a tail disappearing from his sight. He put down his hand, and suddenly remembered something.

It seemed that during this time, the famous spine surgeon Shi Fengyue returned from his studies and was in the third hospital of Yan City. His surgical skills were extremely high and especially loved difficult cases. All the cases he accepted despite his peers’ disagreement succeeded one by one, and in less than a year his name became famous and well-known, provoking everyone to seek medical help from him. However, those who wanted to register with him could only rely on luck.

At this time in the first life, their family spared no effort to cure Father Jiang, never stingy with money, and all the doctors they looked for were well-known old professors and doctors, but those doctors just shook their heads when they looked at Father Jiang’s legs, and even the most expert doctors were helpless. The Jiang family could only give up hope, and from then on, the home that was originally warm, happy and full of joy became quiet and depressing little by little.

After being alone for a long time, Jiang Chen thought many times, if he went to Yan City No. 3 Hospital and found the still-unknown Professor Shi, would his father not be paralyzed and his mother would not be dragged down by the family expenses and died of a serious illness. This matter practically became an unhealable wound in his first life, so he paid special attention to the affairs of Shi Fengyue.

Jiang Chen pondered as he went upstairs, it seemed that Shi Fengyue returned to China during this time, and tomorrow he would go to the hospital to try his luck to see if he could find him.

“Chen Chen, you’re back.”

As soon as he reached the fifth floor, the security door opened in front of Jiang Chen. Yang Si was surprised when she saw him. Seemingly nervous and relieved, and a smile appeared on her face immediately.

Jiang Chen looked at Yang Si and asked, “Mom, where are you going?”

Yang Si smiled and said, “I’m going to your uncle’s place for a bit. You go eat first. After you finish eating, do your homework, and Mom will come back soon.”

Hearing the word “Uncle”, Jiang Chen’s expression became a bit cold.

After two lives, many things have been submerged over time, and there were very few things that could make him remember clearly, which were only two types, family and friendship that were hard to let go, and hatred that was hard to let go.

And the most heart-wrenching hatred came from the Yang family.

Yang Si was the third daughter of the Yang family. She had two older sisters before her and a little brother after her. The eldest sister was sold to an alcoholic widower by her parents not long after she became an adult. She was beaten to death within half a year. Her second eldest sister ran away by herself as a teenager and did not appear in decades. As the third daughter, Yang Si narrowly escaped the fate of being sent away, but all her life from childhood to adulthood revolved around her little brother.

On the other hand, Yang Si’s little brother, Jiang Chen’s uncle Yang Tianci, was raised by his grandmother’s family to become an out-and-out waste of air, and he was the one who sucked blood and gnawed on the old (TN: expression for those who leach off on one’s parents), taking his family’s care and love for granted.

Jiang Chen’s family had always been harmonious, and there were very few quarrels, but almost every quarrel was inseparable from the Yang family, to be precise, Yang Tianci.

Yang Tianci beat someone at school and had to pay compensation money, so the Yang family came to ask for it; Yang Tianci was expelled from school, so the Yang family asked Yang Si to think of a solution; Yang Tianci found a girlfriend, and the Yang family asked Yang Si to accompany and wait on the girlfriend; Yang Tianci planned to get married, and the Yang family asked Yang Si to pay for the expenses and build a house for the newlyweds; Yang Tianci had a child, and the Yang family asked Yang Si to pay child support; Yang Tianci’s child reached school age, and the Yang family asked Yang Si to send Jiang Chen to the countryside, and bring Yang Tianci’s child over to attend school in Yan City…..

The incident of going to school made Yang Si, who had always been tolerant, finally explode. She could let her brother’s parents squeeze out all her worth, but she would definitely never accept harm to her son’s interests.

Since then, the Yang family had became restrained a lot, and there had been a lot less contact between the two families, but once Yang Tianci or the Yang family needed money, they would definitely go to the Jiang family. From building a house to raising a child to buying a new place in Yan City to the present, one after another, at least several 100,000 yuan had been borrowed from the Jiang family.

This was also the reason why the Yang family was so confident in asking for money. They only “borrowed” money, not asked for it directly. Wasn’t it too cold and heartless if you don’t lend money to your siblings?

However, after Jiang Zhuo’s accident, the Yang family avoided the Jiang family like the plague. Yang Si came knocking three or four times without borrowing a penny. Not only was she humiliated, she even got a warning from her parents that she should plan to remarry as soon as possible.

According to the time, it should be this time.

Jiang Chen’s eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: “Mom, you are going to see Uncle, I will accompany you.”

Yang Si was startled and immediately refused: “You just got out of school and haven’t eaten yet, how could you go out with me hungry, and don’t you have homework yet to do? Stay home and wait for me to come back.”

Jiang Chen didn’t listen, he stuck his head inside the door, and said to Jiang Zhuo who was sitting in a wheelchair: “Dad, I’ll accompany Mom to visit Uncle’s place.”

Jiang Zhuo was also worried that his wife would be bullied when she returned to her parents’ house. Seeing that their son was going to follow along, he quickly agreed: “Take care of your mother and don’t let her be wronged.”

Father and son were in agreement, so Yang Si couldn’t refuse and could only take Jiang Chen along.

Sitting on the bus, Yang Si instructed Jiang Chen: “When you see your uncle and aunt, be polite, and then go find your cousin to play. Mom and Uncle have something to talk about.”

Jiang Chen looked at her and said bluntly, “You want to ask Uncle to borrow money, no, that’s not right, their family has borrowed so much money from our family, so you want them to pay back the money?”

“You kiddo.” Yang Si sighed, how could she not know her son’s dissatisfaction with her little brother’s family. Jiang Chen was obedient and sensible since he was a child, and anyone who saw him had to say a word of praise. Only every time he saw her little brother’s family, he would have a cold expression, and didn’t even bother to be polite, the sense of rejection evident in his attitude and speech.

How could she not know that her parents and little brother were doing something wrong, and she even thought about cutting off the relationship with her parents and little brother completely, but now that Jiang Zhuo had an accident, their family was extremely in need of money. No matter if it worked or not, she must try, even if her parents and little brother could support just a little, it would help the family’s current situation.

It was just that, she didn’t want her child to know any of this.

No matter how difficult the family was, she could bear it. These things should not be borne by a child who was not yet grown up. She hoped that he would always be happy, even if he did not need to be so sensible.

The Jiang family lived in the central area of ​​Yan City, and it took nearly two hours to take the bus to the edge of the city. By the time Jiang Chen and Yang Si arrived, it was already dark.

The Yang family was on the first floor, and the sound insulation of the community at this time was mostly poor. When Jiang Chen and Yang Si walked to the entrance of the corridor, they could hear the sound of TVs inside, mixed with the loud laughter of children.

Knock, knock——

“Who is——?”

Inside the rusty iron door, the wooden door with a faded blessing sign was opened. A woman with curly hair and corduroy pajamas stood inside. When she saw Yang Si and Jiang Chen, her expression changed, and she instantly wanted to close the door.

“Mom! Who is it!”

Before the door closed, a boy inside ran over, and when he saw the people outside the door, he raised his head and snorted, then drawled, “Isn’t this that family whose woman married a cripple and likes to collect debts?”

Yang Si’s face changed, and Jiang Chen’s eyes became cold.

The woman didn’t reprimand her son at all, she simply stood inside the iron door with her arms crossed and asked, “What are you doing here?”

Yang Si opened her mouth. If Jiang Chen wasn’t here, she might pretend that she didn’t hear what her nephew just said, and beg her little brother and sister-in-law, but now that Jiang Chen was here, she didn’t want Jiang Chen to see her begging for help. Begging people who insulted her and his father.

“I’ll close the door if there’s nothing?” As the woman spoke, she took a step back and prepared to close the door.

Jiang Chen said lightly: “Aunt, we are here to collect debts. Since you and Uncle got together, including wedding gifts, building a house, having children, moving house, etc., you owe my family a total of 250,000 yuan. Some money was not made clear as borrowed, and is a matter of etiquette and customs, so our family will consider it as siblings helping each other, but the rest that was clearly said to be borrowed total 170,000 yuan. I hope your family can pay back this money immediately.”

Every time a word popped out of Jiang Chen’s mouth, the woman’s face became uglier. When he finished speaking, her face was completely cold.

She looked at Yang Si and said, “Sister, I see that Jiang Chen is becoming more and more unruly, so why aren’t you doing something about it?”

Yang Si originally felt that Jiang Chen was disrespecting his elders by saying this, but after hearing what the woman said, she couldn’t help but get angry and said, “Jiang Chen has always been among the best in academic performance, no matter the school or the neighbors, none of them have ever said that he is not well-behaved, but I don’t know how many times I’ve heard others complain about Sheng Mao, if little brother and Sister-in-law can’t teach Sheng Mao more politeness, then let him learn more from his cousin.”

Children were always a woman’s inverse scale. She was happier when others praised her children than if they praised her instead. Similarly, if someone scolded her child, it would make her more angry than if they had scolded her instead.

“What do you mean!” The woman kicked the iron door, then turned her head and shouted loudly, “Yang Tianci, don’t you care about this at all! Your sister came to make a scene at your own house! She even dared to scold our son! This is not treating us as relatives at all!”

The man in his slippers slowly walked over, holding a braised duck neck in his hand. Seeing Yang Si and Jiang Chen outside the door, he didn’t even bother to say hello, and said to the woman, “Mom and Dad are waiting for you to eat inside, why are you arguing with them?”

The woman’s anger subsided a little when she heard the words, she glanced at the mother and son pair with a sense of superiority, sneered and pulled Yang Shengmao inside.

When she left, Yang Tianci said to Yang Si through the door: “Sister, I know what you are here for, but you should also know that your little brother, I also have a hard time. You asking me for money, isn’t that the same as asking for our family’s life. After a while, Sheng Mao will be admitted to junior high school. You know his grades. If we want to send him to a better school, we will have to pay a lot of school selection fees. I’m also troubled, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, I really can’t help you, so you better go.”

“You can pay back a few thousand first.” Yang Si was about to say borrow, but when she thought of what Jiang Chen said just now, her words changed to pay back.

That’s right, her little brother’s family borrowed so much money from her, and she never urged them to pay it back. At this time, their family’s situation was special so wasn’t it right and proper to ask him to pay back the money?

However, after hearing Yang Si’s words, Yang Tianci’s expression turned bad, and he said, “How can you say pay back the money? Do you really want me to pay you back the money you gave me before? I am your brother. I treat you as my sister, but you only treat me as a debtor?”

Jiang Chen couldn’t help sneering when he heard this, it was really the shameless style of Zhu Bajie——striking with a muck-rake (TN: to make bogus accusations against one’s victim). (TN: Zhu Bajie, a character in the Journey to the West)

Jiang Chen’s sneer infuriated Yang Tianci. He had always disliked this nephew, who liked to fight for the top in everything, and he looked like his eyes grew on the top of his head, as if he could pierce the sky as long as he was talented and excellent.

“What are you laughing at?” Yang Tianci asked, pointing at Jiang Chen’s nose.

Jiang Chen was not afraid at all, hooked up his lips and said, “I’m laughing at you, you really know how to talk, you indeed really treat my mother as your sister, when you borrowed money so fiercely back then, you didn’t treat yourself as an outsider, now when it’s your turn to pay it back, you treat your sister as a debt collector. So when you called it borrowing money, it was just a pretense, the truth is that you only regard your sister as an ATM machine.”

“Little bastard!” Yang Tianci immediately opened the door, rushed out and wanted to hit Jiang Chen, he raised his hand and said, “You are f**king asking for a beating!”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“I want to see who dares to hit my son!”

“I want to see who dares to hit my son!”

Yang Si shouted angrily and stepped in front of Jiang Chen.

“Yang Tianci.” Yang Si looked up at her little brother, who was half a head taller than her, and stared at him and asked, “You really won’t pay me back a penny, even if I never recognize you as my brother from now on, you still won’t pay it back?”

Over the next few days, Zhang Three Hairs didn’t bother Jiang Chen any more, but the occasional glances he casted his way during class were very sinister.

Jiang Chen only looked back at him calmly. Even though he knew that Zhang Three Hairs was obviously cooking up a bad idea, he didn’t feel much troubled. First, he understood Zhang Three Hairs’ way of doing things, and second, not only was Zhang Three Hairs plotting against him, he was also plotting against Zhang Three Hairs. In fact, if Zhang Three Hairs didn’t do anything, he actually wouldn’t be able to do anything to the other.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

In addition to being vigilant about Zhang Three Hairs making trouble, Jiang Chen’s most important task now was to familiarize himself with the current study progress, and to separate in his mind what he learned in the interstellar era and what he was learning now.

In the previous life, Jiang Chen joined the Alliance Research Institute when he was less than twenty years old. After that, in addition to experimental research, he did a lot of studying. So the knowledge he accumulated in the process was extremely vast. It was no exaggeration to say that these things in his mind could completely set off a technological revolution in today’s world.

However, a knowledge system that was too large and advanced was not all good, and it even caused Jiang Chen a bit of trouble.

Before Jiang Chen returned to this body, it was exactly 100 years of the star calendar. This was the year when humans left the original galaxy to go to another galaxy and started to re-develop civilization. Before reaching the new galaxy, the development of human civilization was also far ahead of the present.

If Jiang Chen’s selected course “History of the Beginning Galaxy” was correct, the time gap between the current Earth and the galaxy where he lived in his previous life was nearly 500 years, and these 500 years do not include the time when humans migrated in the interstellar space.

In addition to the 100 years of the star calendar, nearly 600 years were enough for the leap-forward development of technology and enough to overthrow many previous theories and generate more new schools of thought. Whether it was mathematics, physics or chemistry, they were all buried, risen, and innovated in the process of time.

Fortunately, human civilization would always be the solid stone of science and technology. No matter how long time passes, the amazing achievements of our ancestors have been passed down. Fortunately, Jiang Chen paid special attention to the study of ‘ancient times’ because of being reborn so it was not difficult to adapt to returning to the classroom now.

The only issue was to change his way of thinking, such as the algorithm of a mathematical problem, the formula used at this time was not the same as the formula used in the interstellar era. The later formula was faster and more effective and Jiang Chen was already used to it. So going back to the old formula was quite a bit different and awkward.

It was like using an optical computer that was accustomed to high computing speed, and then going back to using the current bulky desktop. Although he could use it, it would still take a little time to get used to it.

During this time, Jiang Chen was trying to get used to it as soon as possible.

Fortunately, he had always been very adaptable, otherwise he would not have gotten up so quickly after the harsh blows he suffered in the first life and spent such a short time of collecting his calm after a car accident sent him to the interstellar era, nor would he have so quickly accepted reality and organized his thoughts and feelings after being reborn once again. 

After school on Saturday, Shen Xu invited Jiang Chen to play at his house.

Jiang Chen knew of Shen Xu’s good intentions, but he still refused. There was no other reason. Now he just wanted to solve the predicament at home as soon as possible and accompany his parents well.

After the death of his parents in the first life, that kind of floating rootless feeling that he no longer belonged, and that there was no place to make him feel at ease, lasted for two lives, and now that he was back, he would definitely cherish everything he had now, and would not allow anyone to destroy it.

On the way home, Jiang Chen lowered his eyes and pondered.

The book that suddenly appeared in front of him was called “Dominating Life”.

The book that suddenly appeared in front of him was called “Dominating Life”.

His memory had always been excellent. At first, he just flipped through the book at random before going to bed. Even if the cannon fodder at the beginning had the same name as him, he didn’t think much about it until he saw in the middle of the book, the cannon fodder with the same name as him died in the exact way he did. Even the dialogue between the protagonist and the system in the book was exactly the same as the dialogue he heard before his death. Only then did he take this matter more seriously.

At that time, Jiang Chen was already tired from a day’s meeting, but when he read that part, his mind was awake in an instant, and he re-read the book from beginning to end, and also memorized all the contents within.

In the book, the protagonist He Qianjian was a transmigrator. Before he transmigrated, he was unhappy because even though he was talented and capable, every time he got a chance, he would be kicked to the side in favor of those with better family background, more money and more connections than him. He hated the injustice of God, and felt that there was no good person in this world, everyone was a snob and looked down on him for being poor.

Therefore, after his death from an accident, he transmigrated into the body of an infant in a delivery room and bound by a system called the “Optimal Choice System”. He Qianjian, who was still called Zhang Dafa at the time, immediately realized that the change of destiny he had always dreamed of was right in front of him. Between the options of “ordinary biological parents” and “rich non-biological parents” given at one time, he chose the wealthy non-biological parents without hesitation.

What Zhang Dafa thought at that time was that they were not truly his biological parents anyway, so who but an idiot would not choose the rich parents.

But Zhang Dafa, no, it should be said that the male protagonist who was already named He Qianjian did not expect that the wealthy level of the rich parents in the mouth of the system turned out to be so rich, not only rich, but also of high social status.

The old Mr. He of the He family had three children in total. He Yanjun, the eldest, inherited his father’s ambition and career, the second, He Yanya, devoted herself to scientific research, and the third, He Yanfeng, devoted himself to doing business, and achieved quite the success in the business world.

The one who the system switched was He Yanfeng’s child.

He Yanfeng had been a maverick since he was a child. His brother and sister either liked to play with toy guns and sticks or liked to read and it could be said that their interests were inherited from their parents. But since elementary school, He Yanfeng liked to sell things and make money. He was active and generous, plus the support of his parents and elder siblings, his career could be said to be smooth sailing.

A person with an active mind, in that conservative era, also dated and fell in love earlier, and his relationship with Mrs. He, Yang Yun, also kicked up quite a fuss at the beginning, to the point of even cutting off relations with the He family for a time. Until He Yanfeng and Yang Yun’s first child, at the same time, the He family’s eldest grandson, was born. Only then did the relationship between the He family and He Yanfeng and his wife eased.

As the eldest son of He Yanfeng and the eldest grandson of the He family, and also the link that eased the relationship between the two sides, He Qianjian was naturally the center of attention. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was cherished in the palm of the hand since he was born.

He Qianjian was not a true child, he had the mind of an adult, and he had a “Optimal Choice System” in his hand, so he naturally knew how to be the most loved by his parents and elders.

When he was young, he was well-behaved and sensible. He was not noisy and liked to play chess with his grandfather. In school, he had the best grades, far beyond his classmates and peers, and was even given a waive of all small exams by the school, only taking final exams. After graduation, he entered He Yanfeng’s company, won several large orders for the company within half a year, and successfully won the approval of everyone. Within two years, he took over the management rights of the company from He Yanfeng and became a well-known investment genius.

His path was smooth all the way. He could be said to be the pride of his parents, the role model of his younger siblings, and the confidant of his friends. He was a complete winner in life.

It was this kind of envy inspiring life, surrounded by money and power and the flattery and support of others, which made He Qianjian feel like he was walking on cloud nine, and at the same time more and more reluctant to lose everything he had now. He would never allow himself to change back to his previous life as Zhang Dafa who anyone could step on.

As for Jiang Chen, who was switched away at birth by the system at the beginning, the real He Qianjian, eldest son and grandson of the He family, was a thorn in He Qianjian’s heart, a ticking bomb that could explode at any time. Although the system told him that no one would find out, he still slept badly every night. It reached the point that it became difficult for him to feel at ease without taking out this hidden danger.

At first, He Qianjian just sent someone to monitor Jiang Chen and relayed all Jiang Chen’s information to him.

During that time, every day he listened to his subordinates report that Jiang Chen, who was supposed to be a favored son of heaven, was forced into a depressing and embarrassing situation due to money. This was the happiest time of He Qianjian’s daily schedule, and even sometimes if Jiang Chen lived even a bit better than usual, he would send people to make some trouble for him and push him back into the swamp.

Just as He Qianjian hoped, after experiencing his father’s paralysis due to the lack of timely treatment, and suicide because he was afraid of dragging down the family, as well as his mother overburdening herself with work for medical expenses and Jiang Chen’s tuition, and finally passing away due to overwork. Jiang Chen finally couldn’t stand the twin blows of his parents death, so he gave up on his own and dropped out of school.

After that, He Qianjian felt that Jiang Chen could no longer pose any threat to him, and he was also busy with graduation, so he didn’t pay attention to Jiang Chen for a long time.

But who knew that, in less than two years, Jiang Chen started a company together with his two friends, and was lucky enough to make a bit of a name for themselves in the industry. Even He Yanfeng, when he came home, couldn’t help mentioning them, saying that the boss of the company, Shen Xu, had the style of his past self, and told He Qianjian that he could make friends with the other, predicting that that company would do well in the future.

Although he was talking about Shen Xu, He Qianjian’s mind automatically replaced it with Jiang Chen. At that moment, he even thought about what would happen if the He family knew that Jiang Chen was their biological child.

He Qianjian didn’t dare to think about that scenario. The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became. He began to find it difficult to fall asleep. When he fell asleep, he would have nightmares. Jiang Chen and his position became reversed, and the other condescendingly scolded him as a petty thief.

Those dreams tortured He Qianjian to the point his hair fell out in clumps, and he lost weight quickly. Even the He family noticed something wrong with him and ordered him to go to the hospital for an examination.

How could He Qianjian dare to go to the hospital? From childhood to adulthood, he didn’t even dare to be sick, because he was afraid of the He family discovering his secret. Even his physical examination would be postponed to the day of Jiang Chen’s physical examination every year to go to the same hospital with him so that the system could help him switch the blood drawn with Jiang Chen’s.

Now that he couldn’t find a reason for Jiang Chen to have a physical examination, how could he dare to go to the hospital at the risk of being discovered.

Under the constant panic and fear, He Qianjian decided to kill the other. With the help of the system, he arranged a flawless murder, and even out of prudence, he never came forward in person from beginning to end, but instructed a toady who had followed him since his student days to do it.

So, on a dark rainy day when there was lightning and thunder, and the car radio reminded its audience to be careful when traveling, an overloaded truck, in order to avoid a car whose brakes failed, collided with Jiang Chen, who was returning from visiting his parents’ graves.

The accident that day caused a series of car accidents, and the scene was extremely chaotic. He Qianjian’s people slipped into the chaos and took enough blood from Jiang Chen’s body for He Qianjian’s future medical examination, and then set Jiang Chen’s car on fire.

The explosion happened suddenly, but the rain quickly washed away the traces of the scene.

In the end, this tragic car accident that attracted the attention of many people sparked a discussion about whether people should drive out on a rainy day, and the person who died in the car accident, like the rainstorm that came and went quickly, failed to leave behind any trace.
