Good old Old Jiang with his thick eyebrows and big eyes!

Looking at his dad, Jiang Che couldn't help but laugh.

"What happened to your hair? And your glasses?"

Chen Feirong came out of the kitchen and frowned when she saw Jiang Che's new look.

Jiang Liyun also finally looked over and noticed the change in his son.

"The previous style was too obstructive, so I changed it. I can see clearly without the glasses. How is it, do I look handsome?" Jiang Che flicked his bangs.

"…"

The couple exchanged a glance, and Chen Feirong turned back to the kitchen, "Let's eat, it's ready. Old Jiang, come help with the dishes."

"Alright!" Jiang Liyun eagerly followed.

Soon enough, a sumptuous meal was laid out on the dining table.

Jiang Che still missed his mom's cooking.

In his previous life, he hardly dared to come home for meals.

Because every meeting would trigger a very serious topic.

Of the three unfilial acts, having no descendants is the worst.

Not marrying is even worse!

At that time, Jiang Che was already in his early forties.

Successful in his career and handsome.

Finding a woman wasn't difficult.

But Jiang Che didn't.

He frivolously wandered through the world of flowers.

Not a leaf stuck to him.

It seemed like there were many women around him.

But marriage became an increasingly distant thing.

"Mom, Dad, I'm full. I'm going to take a shower." Jiang Che was the first to put down his chopsticks and returned to his room.

After he left.

The couple, who had been exchanging knowing glances, immediately began to whisper.

"Old Jiang, what's up with our son?" Chen Feirong asked in a low voice, craning her neck.

"I don't know, but something's definitely up." Jiang Liyun shook his head and muttered, "I have to say, the kid looks quite handsome with a little grooming, just like I did back in the day."

"Handsome my foot! Stop being narcissistic. Our son takes after his mom; it's my beauty he's inherited, nothing to do with you!" Chen Feirong kicked Old Jiang under the table and continued, "Drinking, changing his hairstyle—could the brat have had a breakup?"

"That's possible." Jiang Liyun glanced at the closed room door, "Should I go ask him?"

"No!" Chen Feirong rejected the idea, "Since the brat has made a change, it means he's fine. Kids need to face setbacks. Haven't you noticed he seems to have matured a lot? Give him some space, trust that he can handle it."

In the room.

Jiang Che listened to the sounds outside through the door crack.

He could naturally tell that his parents were intentionally avoiding discussing him.

Listening to their conversation.

Jiang Che felt a pang in his nose.

Give him space, trust him.

They did the same in his previous life.

But he let them down.

What parents don't hope their child gets into a good university?

They never said it, never pressured Jiang Che, but it was naturally an exception.

Jiang Che could have gotten into a good university, but in the end, he gave them a dropout result...

Given another chance.

He must not let them down again.

Jiang Che turned and sat at his desk.

He took out a piece of paper and began to write flamboyantly.

"College Entrance Examination!!!"

He wrote in the largest font, adding three exclamation marks to emphasize its importance.

"After the College Entrance Examination, the World Cup begins. It's a huge opportunity and the quickest way to get startup funds."

Betting isn't a good behavior.

But with free money right there, at a time when he desperately needs it, not taking it would be foolish.

Jiang Che remembered a line from a TV drama in his past life—using some unsavory means during the capital accumulation phase is normal.

He wouldn't do anything unsavory, nor would he be bound by any foolish ideas.

As for buying lottery tickets...

Jiang Che hadn't paid attention to lottery information in his past life, so he had no impression of the winning numbers.

Moreover, there was a saying in his past life: reborn people can't win the lottery.

Now he fit the reborn criteria, but unfortunately, he hadn't remembered.

Otherwise, he would definitely give it a try...

His pen paused, then he continued writing: "Even for betting, I need some capital. Before the World Cup starts, I have to find a way to get that money!"

Over the years, Jiang Che had received quite a bit of New Year's money, and if he had saved it all, he would have at least tens of thousands by now.

But a simp could never save money, and after paying for his haircut, he only had a single green bill left, a pitiful amount...

He also highlighted "get some capital before the World Cup starts" as a priority. With his thoughts organized for the time being, Jiang Che tore the paper into pieces and threw it into the trash, stretched, and went to shower and sleep.

...

"Jiang Che hasn't arrived yet?"

"No..."

"Could he have failed in confessing and decided to quit school?"

"That's possible. Although Jiang Che seemed like a toad lusting after a swan, he did follow Su Rongyin around for so long. Being rejected so heartlessly, if it were me, my heart would definitely be shattered."

"Besides, you all said such harsh things in the group, and Jiang Che was in the group too..."

"So what? If he can do such things, can't we laugh? We have the right to speak! And whether he comes or not, what does it matter to us? He's not some handsome guy!"

Li Yuan said disdainfully.

She was decent-looking, with a nice figure, and dressed flamboyantly. Her school uniform jacket was half-open, revealing a cleavage that seemed out of place in the classroom, exuding a certain allure. High school boys, being at an age full of vigor, couldn't help but feel a bit itchy.

Normally, she could be considered a class beauty or goddess, but unfortunately, there was Su Rongyin in the class, the school's recognized beauty, making her seem dull in comparison, like a stone next to a pearl.

Jealousy can make people unrecognizable.

She secretly resented Su Rongyin but didn't dare to openly show it.

With this incident, she seized the opportunity to kick Jiang Che while he was down.

Hating by association.

Who told Jiang Che to always be around Su Rongyin?

Su Rongyin was writing her homework, but her pen hadn't moved for a while.

During this time.

She kept recalling the scene where Jiang Che casually greeted her and then left without looking back.

Now, hearing Li Yuan's words and the discussions among her classmates, she felt even more irritated. The more she tried not to think about it, the more agitated she became, almost wanting to tear up her test paper.

Just then, a boy with thick black hair, fair and delicate skin, and exquisite, well-defined features walked into the classroom with a backpack.

A quick look at bit.ly/3iBfjkV will leave you more fulfilled.

Instantly.

All the students in the class turned to look, whispering and murmuring.

"Where did this handsome guy come from? Why is he in our class?"

"He looks familiar..."

"Why did he sit in Jiang Che's seat?"

"Could it be that Jiang Che really dropped out, and a new student transferred in to take his place?"

With the large black-framed glasses gone and a new hairstyle, most importantly, Jiang Che's demeanor was completely different from before. It was as if he were a different person. Even classmates who had been with him for three years couldn't recognize him at first glance.

At that moment, another figure rushed into the classroom, and after sitting next to Jiang Che, he immediately started rummaging through Jiang Che's backpack: "Jiang Che, where's your homework? Let me copy it quickly, there's no time!"

Chen Yunsong's actions and words left everyone in the class stunned:

"Jiang Che?!"

"Are you kidding?"

Upon closer inspection, they realized that the facial features and appearance...

Who else could it be but Jiang Che?
