Chapter 147: I Shall Rewrite History!

Page (1/3)

Huang Ye looked at Liu Yan with a complicated expression. This was the same Liu Yan he had known just a week ago, but now she was completely transformed—dressed in designer clothes, with a totally different aura. Where was the innocent you from before? The one who vowed to spend a lifetime with me? The one who promised we’d always be together, no matter rich or poor?

“Liu Yan, who is this?” A well-dressed man in his twenties, clearly wealthy, approached and questioned sharply.

“Oh, this is my middle school classmate. He used to like me, but we have no relationship whatsoever. I’m pure,” Liu Yan quickly explained.

“A classmate, huh? Haha, classmates are the least valuable these days. Liu Yan, no need to explain to him. Let’s go. Didn’t you want a new phone? I’ll buy it for you.”

“Okay, thanks, honey, muah! Huang Ye, don’t bother me anymore. We live in different worlds. I want things from you that you can’t give. Give up on me,” Liu Yan said as she got into the car and drove away.

Watching Liu Yan leave, Huang Ye’s heart felt like it was being torn apart. Is this love? Is this what love really is? In the face of money, what is love but a joke? Over the past three years, he had spent most of his pocket money on Liu Yan, only to be told to give up on her.

Utterly devastated, Huang Ye chose to drown his sorrows in drink—only to end up dying from alcohol poisoning.

Chen Yun shook his head. The owner of this body was truly pitiful—after three years with a girlfriend, she just ran off with someone else. Anyone would be unable to bear it. But since I have merged with you, your past is now mine, your regrets mine as well. This time, whether it’s your regret or mine, I will rewrite it. One day, I will make Liu Yan bitterly regret it, and I, once an ordinary man, will shine with unparalleled brilliance on this earth!

The next morning, Chen Yun didn’t get up but lay in bed, lost in thought until he fell asleep again, not waking until noon.

“Chen Yun has been in his room all morning. What is he doing? Hey, Chen, call him for lunch,” Chen’s mother said while setting the table.

“That little brat is definitely up to something sneaky behind our backs. I’ll go check,” Chen’s father said angrily.

Chen’s dad was furious when it came to his irresponsible son. Due to his aunt’s influence, the boy had never been close to his parents. Not only was he distant, but he also hated studying. In elementary school, he ranked in the top twenty in his class, but in middle school, he secretly started dating, and his grades plummeted to the bottom twenty. Fortunately, his parents intervened multiple times, pushing him through mixed doubles training sessions, and by a narrow margin of two points, he barely got into Wolong High School in the city.

Though Wolong High School had an impressive name, it ranked second to last among the city’s eight high schools—such a wasted title.

In high school, aside from Chinese, which he could somewhat understand, all other subjects were like a foreign language. He constantly ranked in the bottom five on tests, leaving his parents hopeless. They no longer cared if he got into university. If he could just finish high school and get a diploma, they’d be grateful.

“Let him be. He’s grown and beyond our control. I always thought he broke up with that girl, but I guess not. Look at this time—what if... what should we do? Let’s stop worrying and wait for him to graduate high school. Then we can enroll him in a vocational school to learn a trade,” Chen’s mother sighed. “Look at Old Wang’s kid next door. He took the same high school exam and scored 570 out of 620. Why is the gap so huge?”

“Enough! Stop talking. We don’t have that kind of luck,” Chen’s father slammed the door and stormed out.

Chen Yun, in a daze, heard the “bang” and reluctantly opened his eyes.

“You little brat, what time is it? All you do is sleep. Get out here for dinner! Drinking and thinking about a girl to the point of wanting to kill yourself—what a loser,” his father scolded, kicking open the bedroom door.

“Oh, Dad, you eat first. I’ll be there soon.”

Chen Yun inwardly sighed; he was a spitting image of his father. Before turning 30, he was a complete failure—a typical good-for-nothing. Disdained by his parents, relatives, neighbors, and even himself. But after 30, when he met a benefactor, he turned his life around and became a business elite.

Strangely, today this little brat seemed polite, unlike his usual silent self. How odd. Huang’s father shook his head, puzzled by this sudden change.

At the dinner table, the family of three ate quietly, no one spoke. Such silence was normal in this household—so quiet it was almost unsettling.

After finishing the last bite of steamed bun, Chen Yun took a deep breath and looked at his parents, heads bowed over their plates.

“Dad, Mom, I’ve only been thinking about myself and was irresponsible, disappointing your expectations. From now on, I will work hard to change how you and our relatives see me. I will study hard.”

“I know you want me to just finish high school, get a diploma, then go to vocational school. But I don’t want that. I want to get into university—a prestigious one!”

“In this society, going to an ordinary university is useless. Many ordinary graduates can’t even find jobs. So I must get into a top university.”

“I wasted so much time on a meaningless relationship before. Not anymore. Liu Yan looked down on me, but I will prove how shortsighted she was! You two keep eating. I’m going back to my room.”

Chen Yun stood, bowed deeply to his parents, and turned toward his bedroom.

The couple was stunned, speechless, watching their son close the door.

“What’s gotten into him? Has he lost his mind? Or possessed?” Chen’s mother suddenly felt weak.

“Who knows? Maybe a sudden whim? He’s been drifting all these years. If he could study properly, he wouldn’t be in this state,” Chen’s father shook his head and resumed eating. Yet deep down, he held a glimmer of hope. What parent wouldn’t want their child to succeed?

In the bedroom.
