Slap!
Ye Yuxian harshly slapped his own face. It hurt!
The feeling of pain was real. Did this mean he was still alive?
If it wasn't for the addition of many memories, Ye Yuxian would have thought he had undergone plastic surgery. He calmed down and accepted the fact. It seemed he had been reborn!
The extra memories in his brain belonged to a downtrodden nobody named Liu Zifan.
And he, Ye Yuxian, was the direct grandson of the Ye family!
The Ye family, ranked among the top ten richest families in the country, had assets worth billions. He was regarded as the most talented businessman and manager of their line with immeasurable potential.
The general consensus was that under the guidance of Ye Yuxian, the Ye family could break into the top three nationally in less than ten years.
But an accident happened two days ago.
While climbing a mountain, he was suddenly hit on the back of his head, and when he woke up, he had been reborn in this man named Liu Zifan.
The memory was so clear that he couldn't help but wonder if all he had been through was nothing but an illusion.
At present, what he could confirm was that the person who had attacked him was definitely one of his company on the mountain.
Picking up the mirror once again, Ye Yuxian felt somewhat helpless.
His face was different, his voice was different, everything had changed. More importantly, he had gained an extra set of memories.
Who would believe him if he told them?
He had been lying down for two days before he reluctantly accepted the situation!
Now, what on earth should he do to improve his chances of success?
Creak......
The door was pushed open.
A beautiful woman walked in leading a cute little girl with pigtails.
"Daddy!" The little girl was very happy, rushing towards Ye Yuxian with affection.
"Ya Ya, it's time to do your homework!" Before the little girl could reach him, the stunningly beautiful woman spoke.
The woman glanced at Ye Yuxian, who was still lying on the bed. Her voice was rather cold, filled with a touch of frustration. "I thought you'd be lying here until the end of time."
Watching the woman who spoke and then went to the kitchen to make noodles, the corner of Ye Yuxian's mouth filled with bitterness.
Qiuhaitang, the wife of this body's original owner!
As in her name, Qiuhaitang had been pursued by many, but ultimately, was won by Liu Zifan, which was indeed strange.
Given Ye Yuxian's status, he had seen many women of all types, including stars, models, etc, and had been in contact with many.
But from his perspective and aesthetic view, Qiuhaitang was not inferior.
Different from those women, she possessed a breath of transcendental elegance, without the strong worldly and mundane taste.
Of course, what troubled Ye Yuxian was the original owner of this body, Liu Zifan.
Upon graduation, I knew nothing but studying.
When Autumn Begonia and Liu Zifan got married, her family was so angry that they almost cut ties with her.
Liu Zifan's parents passed away early. He was left to the care of his grandfather and after his grandfather's death, all that was left was this shabby shack. Like many young and ambitious men at the beginning of a marriage, Liu Zifan promised to give her the best life.
However, in the following two years, series of job rejections followed. The thing is, he seemed honest, but was actually proud and arrogant, a classic case of having eyes bigger than his stomach. He wasn’t willing to take ordinary jobs, believing they were beneath him; high-level jobs would not take him either.
If it hadn't been for a rather affluent female classmate of Autumn Begonia who took pity on him and gave him a job as a driver, he would still be worthless.
What irritated Ye Yuxian even more, was the fact that even when others kindly offered him a job as a driver, he felt it beneath his dignity. He would come home and vent his anger on his wife. Gradually, he became irritable and picked up the vices of smoking, drinking, and gambling!
After exhausting his earnings, he would turn to Autumn Begonia for more. If she refused, he would resort to violence!
Everything that was worth a penny was sold or pawned by him!
Last month, he had an accident while drunk riding on an electric bike. It wasn’t too severe, but that was enough to send him spiralling into an abyss of despair.
He has been lying at home for over a month now, with no intention to go out and work.
At this point, Ye Yuxian had suicidal thoughts. Of all the people to be reincarnated into, he had to end up being this scumbag. He'd rather just die.
The sound of the gas being turned off in the kitchen interrupted Ye Yuxian's thoughts.
He saw Autumn Begonia bring out a bowl of freshly cooked tomato and egg noodles, and put it in front of the little girl who was diligently doing her homework. "Yaya, eat first."
"It's noodles again..." Yaya, with her round face, squeezed out a bitter smile. She was fed up with it.
"Let Mom add a sausage for you, okay? There was just too much going on today and didn't have the time to cook. Tomorrow, Mom will cook something delicious for you, okay?" Autumn Begonia gently coaxed Yaya.
"Alright!" YaYa just about to eat the sausage she took from Qiu Haitang's hand after peeling it, but something seemed to cross her mind. She turned to Ye Yuxian, who was looking right at her, and said with a smile, "Daddy, let's eat together."
"He doesn't need to!" The wife who was gentle just now suddenly turned cold in both her face and voice.
Ye Yuxian gave a bitter smile. 'Such a poor husband and wife relationship, and yet they haven't divorced. Is this what they call true love?'
While YaYa was eating noodles, Qiu Haitang turned on her computer to check websites and WeChat.
Ye Yuxian saw that she was posting ads, all about women's weight loss and slimming products, quite similar to the WeChat businesses he usually sees.
When she was posting in groups, Qiu Haitang's voice was very gentle and touching.
However, WeChat businesses have never been favoured since ancient times.
Feeling as if he was sitting on pins and needles, Ye Yuxian thought he should do something. He can't be as useless as Liu Zifan, can he?
"Um... Actually, there's not much future in being a WeChat business owner."
He tried to start a conversation.
Qiu Haitang turned her head coldly, with a chill to the bone.
"Well, WeChat businesses have not been trusted by the public from the start, especially when it first came out a few years ago. Its image has been ruined and mostly negative. If you continue like this, you will not only work twice as hard for half the results, but you will also not win people over..."
"Is that the reason for you lecturing me from up there?"
Qiu Haitang's voice was cold and contained a hint of disgust: "Do you think I am a fool? That I don't know what situation WeChat businesses are facing? Do you think I have no idea that many people might have already blocked me?"
"I get up early and go to bed late doing all this, for who? For what? If you hadn't lost all our money, would I need to do this?"
Ye Yu Xian was stunned, he had just remembered that his original self was really extravagant.
When all of his wages were gobbled up, even Qiu Hai Tang’s wages were not spared.
She herself was unable to do anything else, and eventually, she had no option but to choose the tiring and thankless job of being a web retailer.
With memories flooding his mind, Ye knew that apart from being a web retailer, Qiu also owned a Taobao shop. But due to the lack of time and energy, and also the fact that she didn’t understand the operations, the shop’s performance was quite poor. If it could make around 200 to 300 in a month, it was a great boost and reward.
“I... didn't mean that…” He apologized, trying to explain.
“Oh? Then tell me, what did you mean? You don’t plan to make money, but you despise those who are trying to earn?"
“I…” Ye scratched his head, looking at his frosty wife, he chose rationally not to argue on this topic.
“I'm sorry, I didn't take into account your feelings, nor did I consider your difficulties, I apologize!”
Qiu, who was originally about to explode, was caught off guard.
Such conversations happened often; Liu Zi Fan always looked down on her diluting in web retailing and Taobao.
However, the outcome of every argument was Liu storming out.
But today, he apologized unexpectedly.
What surprised Qiu even more was the sincerity in her husband's tone, and even his wording was very polite.
If it weren't the familiar face in front of her, she would have thought that a refined gentleman was standing before her.
Looking at this familiar face, Qiu coldly said: "Actually, you don't have to pretend, who doesn't know who here?"
