Chapter 24 He finally felt the reality of being reborn [VIP]

"Auntie, what... what does this mean?"

Ziyu forced himself to stay calm. He could hear the faint sound of the plot collapsing, and he could also hear the sound of the 200 million yuan that he should have had being deducted from his account.

Splash, splash.

"What do you mean..." Ziyu swallowed hard, "...commit suicide if he doesn't stay with me? Aren't we together?"

Qin's mother was also troubled when she talked about this. She had lived a smooth life for more than forty years, and the first time she had suffered was because of her own son.

"Yes, you two are together now. It's because we were too old-fashioned before, and we always prevented you from being together."

Qin's mother recalled how they had forced Qin Yuzhen to return.

They knew that Tang Zuo was behind the trouble at Qinyu Town Company, and they were calmly waiting for their son to be so devastated by these events that he would have no choice but to run into their arms and admit his mistake.

Unexpectedly, Qinyu Town not only did not collapse, but even rose in popularity, and began to show a tendency to attack the small companies under Tang Zuo's command.

Qin's father was so enraged by his son's rebelliousness that he wanted to tell his son to come back immediately.

Qin's mother was ruthless; her first instinct was to target Ziyu.

Before she could even put her plan into action, her son, as if he had foreseen it, returned home early, holding a small knife to his own neck.

He knew perfectly well who would be the one most heartbroken if he hurt himself.

Qin Yuzhen had a cold face, and his tone was gloomy and obsessive.

"Mom, if you dare to lay a hand on Ziyu, I'll kill myself."

He wouldn't harm his own mother because of the debt of gratitude he owed her for giving him life.

But he couldn't possibly survive alone.

When Qin's mother saw this scene, all her so-called noblewoman's dignity and elegance vanished. She was so frightened that she fell to the ground, her face as pale as paper from the pain in her heart.

But this behavior did not completely dispel her desire to harm Ziyu. On the contrary, her resolve strengthened; she was determined not to let their relationship continue. Strangely, that very night, she had a dream.

In his dream, his son lost Ziyu and seemed to have completely lost his soul. He would run up to anyone he met and ask if they had seen his Ziyu.

He kept muttering, "He's right here in my arms... He said he forgave me... He said he'll be with me forever..."

What's even stranger is that, apart from her and her son, no one else remembers Ziyu.

They said Qin Yuzhen's company was built up through his own hard work, that Qin Yuzhen was a man of integrity who had never had a lover, and that they had never heard of the name Ziyu.

Finally, she witnessed her son go mad and kill everyone who said they had never seen Ziyu, and strangely, not a single person stepped forward to stop him.

Until Qin Yuzhen stood in front of her.

Qin Yuzhen's exquisitely handsome face, which bore an eight-tenths resemblance to hers, was stained with almost dried blood, giving his entire face an eerie and sinister aura.

He showed absolutely no affection for her as his mother.

It felt so unfamiliar, like looking at a lifeless object.

"The 132nd plan has failed." Qin Yuzhen's voice was measured and mechanical, as if his throat was filled with machinery. "We failed to awaken the target."

He raised the knife at her, his expression cold.

Qin's mother opened her eyes wide in terror, but her body was strangely held in place, unable to move, and she could only watch helplessly as Qin Yuzhen approached her step by step.

"Start the next playthrough; do not retain the target's memories."

Qin's mother suddenly screamed, shouting, "I know Ziyu! I know him! He's your boyfriend!"

Qin Yuzhen stopped moving, a strange green light flashing in his unfathomable black eyes.

"Target person, memories can be retained, and a second playthrough can be started."

After Qin's mother woke up again, she completely gave up all thoughts and was only thinking about bringing the two of them together.

"You two must stay together," Qin's mother pleaded earnestly.

Ziyu was completely dazed and confused.

What's going on? This isn't the right plot, is it?

"Auntie, you really approve of us being together?"

"Of course, Auntie would definitely agree." Qin's mother beamed with joy. She had completely put herself in the role of the mother-in-law, and her eyes were filled with satisfaction as she looked at Ziyu.

Qin's father let out a soft snort of annoyance through his nose.

Regardless of Qin's father's state, Qin's mother patted Ziyu's hand and said many heartfelt words, ultimately telling Ziyu to live a good life.

As for Qinyu Town, they also provided strong support.

Ziyu was in a daze throughout the entire exchange.

Time passed slowly, bit by bit.

Qin's mother finally finished drinking the last bit of water left in the cup.

She was still not satisfied. She had never known Ziyu before, but now the more she looked at him, the more obedient and well-behaved she felt.

She stood up with satisfaction and said goodbye.

“Ziyu, you should also persuade Yuzhen not to live in this kind of apartment building. He should go back home. If he doesn’t like the old house because it’s too oppressive, he should buy a new villa. There are too many people here and the rooms are too small. I don’t know if the soundproofing is good. You two are not comfortable living here.”

Qin's mother dragged Qin's father to the stairwell, where the elevator for their building was located.

Ziyu saw the elevator going up, just one floor away from their floor.

"Ziyu, shall we be leaving now?"

Ziyu watched the departing figures of Qin's mother and father, and heard the familiar electronic mechanical voice in his ears.

[A 15% deviation from the plot has been detected; 15% of the bonus will be deducted accordingly.]

Oh no no no!

His prize money is now 200 million! 15% of 200 million is an astronomical figure! This is tantamount to tearing his heart out!

In a moment of panic, Ziyu shouted, "Uncle and Aunt! Don't move!"

Qin's mother stopped in a good mood.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Ziyu took a deep breath.

He couldn't understand what had happened to make his parents, who usually disliked him, so friendly towards him.

But his money is the most important thing!

Anyway, the plot only says that the submissive character fell down the stairs and broke his leg in front of Qin's parents.

As for how he fell, no one will care.

Having made up his mind, Ziyu suddenly walked up to Qin's father, who was already standing near the stairwell.

Qin's father didn't like Ziyu. Unlike Qin's mother, he didn't believe in the so-called dreams that Qin's mother talked about. However, he listened to Qin's mother. If Qin's mother said to accept it, he could only accept it.

Regardless of how they show it on the surface, they are still unhappy inside.

That's why he didn't react in time when Ziyu stepped forward.

Qin's father saw Ziyu, who was walking quickly toward him, suddenly trip and fall straight down!

Ziyu closed his eyes tightly; he had mentally prepared himself for everything.

Smash him! Smash him! For his two hundred million yuan! For his future!

For his carefree and wonderful future of eating, drinking, and waiting to die!

Your calf! It looks like it's broken!

Qin's mother gaped open, her face turning pale.

It's all over...

"bite."

Ziyu could feel the wind rushing past his ears as he fell.

Great, his money is coming back.

The next second, instead of the agonizing tumble down the stairs, what awaited him was a warm, woody chest.

The other person seemed to have run over, their chest heaving violently, and the arm around his waist was gripping him tightly with fear, trembling almost imperceptibly.

Ziyu opened her eyes and saw a familiar, handsome face.

For the first time, a look of fear and panic appeared on that face that had always been arrogant, cold, and indifferent.

His dark, deep eyes were also fixed on the person in his arms.

With a forceful pull, Ziyu was dragged up the stairs.

He was held tightly in the other person's arms, so tightly that it almost hurt.

The person who arrived was none other than Qin Yuzhen, who should never have been here at this moment!

Ziyu couldn't believe it.

At the same time, the electronic voice sounded again.

[A 20% deviation from the plot has been detected. 20% of your bonus will be deducted proportionally. Host, please take the plot missions seriously and refrain from playing passively.]

Damn it! Who's playing this passively?!

The heart of Qinyu Town was still pounding.

That's great...that's great.

Qinyu Town thought.

This time, he pulled him back.

In his previous life, when he had just brought Ziyu home, he appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was experiencing a storm of emotions.

He agreed to Ziyu's request on a whim, and he could explain sleeping with him as a matter of physical need, but pulling the other person into his private space was completely inexplicable.

But in his past life, he was too proud and too oblivious. He was unwilling to face Ziyu, who was gradually filling his house with her personal belongings, and fled back to the company.

After that, he received a call from the steward of the Qin family's old residence, saying that the master and madam had gone to his room to look for Ziyu.

He immediately wanted to go home, but he ran into Lin Keyi, who had come to discuss the script. Lin Keyi went crazy and harassed him, and Qin Yuzhen didn't even have time to get away.

When he finally shook off Lin Ke, he received the news that Ziyu had fallen down the stairs due to an argument with Qin's father, fracturing his leg and falling into a coma.

He couldn't explain the throbbing pain in his chest when he saw Ziyu lying unconscious in bed due to his injuries, and the next second he received a threat from Qin's mother.

[Mother: He's not very careful about safety. This is just a small warning. If you don't want him to spend the rest of his life in bed, you'd better behave.]

[Mother: You seem very worried about him. I don't like seeing you so distraught.]

He was still young at the time, and he could only clench his hands helplessly and sit on a chair in the hospital.

He also realized that he had become far too concerned about a sycophant who should have been defined as a plaything.

When Ziyu woke up again, what he saw was the indifferent and rigid Qinyu Town.

In a hoarse voice, he admonished Ziyu, word by word.

Don't blame your parents, don't care about these things, and don't be petty.

After he finished speaking, he didn't even dare to look at Ziyu, whose face was deathly pale.

As for whether these words were meant to admonish Ziyu or to admonish himself, Qin Yuzhen had no idea.

But Qin Yuzhen, who had been reborn once, clearly knew that he had fallen for someone long before that, and he would not let that happen again.

After quickly resolving the issues with Lin Keyi's script, Qin Yuzhen rushed home as fast as he could.

The moment the elevator doors opened, Qin Yuzhen saw Ziyu falling backward. His mind went blank, and time seemed to stand still. He grabbed Ziyu with the fastest speed he had ever managed.

Very good.

His eyes were red.

Having been given a second chance, he finally had the real feeling of being reborn.

A note from the author:

Actually, I'm thinking of writing a plot where Jia 1, who wasn't aware of his love for Jia 0 in his past life, transmigrates into the body of another NPC in this world, only to find that Jia 0 is completely focused on licking the Jia 1 of this world, who doesn't even glance at him... um... ahhhh...
