Chapter 6. Waking Up in the Morning, Rewarded with an Advanced Slacker Gift Pack
“Damn, that felt good! I’ve long been sick of that whole family of leeches, Butler Feng. If not for the young master, I would’ve beaten them up ages ago!”
“Exactly! The young master supported the Lin family for four years and worked himself to the bone for Lin Wan’s dream for four whole years, only to get dumped by Lin Wan in the end! Damn it!”
“Come to think of it, it’s pretty funny. Lin Wan got into the young master’s team and still acted all pleased with herself.”
“But Butler Feng, was this really the young master’s order? He used to dote on Lin Wan so much.”
The bodyguards all looked toward Uncle Feng, whose hair was already streaked with white, and immediately began to feel uneasy.
What they had done today really did seem a bit excessive. During the four years the young master had been with Lin Wan, he had indulged her in every possible way. He could not bear to scold her or hit her, and whatever she wanted, he gave her.
But just now, Butler Feng had actually struck Lin Wan. If the young master found out, would he fly into a rage and fire them on the spot?
Uncle Feng pressed a hand down, signaling them to calm down. “Don’t worry. This was the young master’s personal order... If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility.”
Truthfully, he was not all that certain what the young master really meant. The last time Lin Wan brought up breaking up, things had not gone like this at all.
Instead, the young master had knelt in front of Lin Wan with a bouquet of flowers, begging for forgiveness. Uncle Feng’s blood pressure had nearly exploded at the sight. The dignified eldest young master of the Jiang family had knelt so humbly before a woman, utterly throwing away the Jiang family’s honor.
At last, he had managed to vent some of that resentment on the young master’s behalf this time. If the young master ended up getting back together with Lin Wan in the end and blamed him for it—
Then so be it!
“Go contact every company in Huazhong. Blacklist Lin Hai’s company and freeze all the accounts the young master gave to the Lin family.”
“Yes, sir!”
Uncle Feng nodded, walked out of the villa, and got into the car to return to the villa where the young master lived.
He picked up his phone and called the master.
The young master’s behavior today had been far too abnormal. The master and madam had arranged for him to keep an eye on the young master, so this had to be reported to them.
Jiang Family Manor.
Inside the main hall, Jiang Zhentian, Huaxia’s number one Martial God, held his forehead, his face full of worry.
Beside him sat his wife in a moon-white qipao of soft satin, elegant and poised. She gently patted Jiang Zhentian’s shoulder.
“Zhentian, is there really no way around reselecting the heir? You know your younger brothers and sisters are all eyeing the Jiang family’s foundation. Some of them have even secretly joined forces with other families.”
“If one of their children becomes the heir, it won’t benefit the family.”
Jiang Zhentian rubbed his brow and snorted. “Whose fault is that but that useless brat’s? He forced you to use the group’s money to support a team, and they seized on it as leverage.”
“Now the family’s upper echelon is extremely dissatisfied with him as heir. I had no choice but to agree to reselect the heir in order to suppress the matter.”
His wife, Shen Qingyue, sighed. “Xiao Chen threatened me with his life. I couldn’t just watch my own child go and die, could I?”
“He’d be better off dead. I’d just pretend I never had this son!” Jiang Zhentian said, his voice thick with anger. “It would have been one thing if he simply refused to honor the marriage agreement with the Su family, but he wasted four years of cultivation for the sake of a woman and even pushed the family group into a funding crisis.”
“He’s a complete wastrel, a hopeless disgrace. If the Jiang family ends up in his hands, it’ll only become an even greater disaster. Let him fend for himself.”
Shen Qingyue frowned, disappointment in her son also filling her eyes. But what parent did not want their child to turn out well?
“Zhentian, the team Xiao Chen cultivated has achieved outstanding results. He still has some competitiveness in the heir selection.”
“Tomorrow night is Xiao Chen’s graduation ceremony. Go and take a look. If he is still acting as though he would live or die for Lin Wan, then strip him of his qualification to inherit.”
She had finally made up her mind completely. If her son still refused to repent, she no longer wanted to bother with him.
“I’m not going! I can’t afford that humiliation.” Jiang Zhentian refused outright.
Shen Qingyue took her husband’s hand. “Go and see for yourself. The group’s funding problem still hasn’t been resolved, and I can’t get away.”
“I’m not going!”
Shen Qingyue withdrew her hand. Her face went cold as she stared at her husband. “Are you going or not?”
“I’m not—”
“I’m giving you three seconds!”
The moment those words came out, the dignified number one Martial God of Huaxia instantly changed expression. He quickly plastered a smile on his face and took his wife’s hand.
“I’ll go, I’ll go, all right? Qingyue, don’t be angry.”
A woman from Sichuan and Chongqing was fierce as hell!
“That’s more like it.” Shen Qingyue hmphed.
Ring, ring, ring—
Hm?
Just then, Jiang Zhentian’s phone rang.
He picked it up, took one look, and his expression sharpened as he answered the call.
“Master, the young master was a little strange tonight...”
The butler then relayed all of Jiang Yichen’s orders regarding Lin Wan and the team.
Jiang Zhentian frowned, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
Had that brat lost his mind? Taking back everything he had given Lin Wan—was that really something he could do?
Last time, that useless fool had even knelt to Lin Wan just to beg her forgiveness. How could he possibly do something like this?
Suspicion gradually filled Jiang Zhentian’s eyes.
“What is it? Is it about Xiao Chen?” Shen Qingyue asked from the side.
Jiang Zhentian glanced at his wife and said to the butler, “All right, I understand. I’ll go to his graduation ceremony tomorrow night and have a look.”
After hanging up, he shook his head with a chuckle. “Nothing much. Same as always.”
He did not mention Jiang Yichen’s abnormal behavior. Women were soft-hearted by nature. If she heard about it, she would probably start hoping for something from that useless brat again.
“Mmm...” Shen Qingyue lowered her head with a sigh.
Jiang Zhentian put an arm around his wife’s shoulders and comforted her. “Don’t worry. Even if that brat can’t become the heir, we can still make sure he lives the rest of his life without ever worrying about food or clothing.”
...
The next day, early morning.
【Ding! A slacker choice has been triggered.】
【Choice One: Just like in your previous life, get up at five in the morning to buy breakfast for Lin Wan. Reward: ‘Self-Disciplined Simp’ title.
Choice Two: Having lived a second life, you have seen Lin Wan’s true colors. You’re done with this, so slack off and go back to sleep. Reward: ‘Basic Slacker Gift Pack.’
Choice Three: In your previous life, you sacrificed your precious morning hours just to bring Lin Wan breakfast. Now that you’ve chosen to slack off, you still refuse to sink into aimlessness. You want to enjoy the beauty of the morning, taste delicious food, and admire the sunrise. Reward: ‘Advanced Slacker Gift Pack.’】
Jiang Yichen, who had been fast asleep, was jolted awake by the system’s notification.
He rubbed his bleary eyes, turned over, and took quite a while to fully recover his senses.
As he looked at the three choices floating before him, Jiang Yichen could not help recalling his previous life.
During the four years he had been with Lin Wan, he had gotten up at five every single day without fail to buy her custom soup dumplings from the Jintang Hotel in Huazhong.
Even if he went to sleep at three in the morning, he still had to get up at five to buy breakfast for Lin Wan. He had truly taken simping to the absolute extreme.
Heh. Now that he had been reborn, why the hell would he still buy breakfast? He dismissed Choice One without even looking at it.
Jiang Yichen’s gaze swept over Choice Two and Choice Three. Sleeping in certainly felt great, but if he was going to slack off, then he ought to enjoy life instead of wasting away in a daze.
The thought of sipping a little alcohol while watching the sun rise in the east made him suck in a breath. Damn, that actually sounded pretty good.
Besides, how could a basic gift pack compare to an advanced one? Even an idiot would pick the third option.
Jiang Yichen did not hesitate in the slightest and directly chose Choice Three.
【Congratulations, Host, for making a slacker choice. Reward: ‘Advanced Slacker Gift Pack.’ Would you like to open it?】
