Ning Boran was filled with despair, but there was nothing he could do.

...

On the other side, the fake young master Lu Jiyang was taken back to the Ugly Country by his parents. With a swollen, puffy face, he went to see his bedridden second grandfather.

George Kang seized the opportunity to flatter him: "Second Uncle, look how filial my son is. He was beaten up like this by bad guys for standing up for what's right. He didn't even have time to get to the hospital."

They rushed over as soon as they heard you were sick. Don't you think this child has incredible filial piety?

Sitting to the side, Lu Jiyang's puffy eyelids twitched when he heard his father, George Kang, say that.

Four of his teeth were knocked out, making his speech slurred, but he still managed to manage a pained tone as he replied, "Shit... Second Grandpa... I'm so good at talking back to you..."

His speech is becoming increasingly slurred. When he was first beaten up by Lu Chi, it was probably because Lu Chi hit him too fast. At that time, although he had also lost four teeth, he didn't stutter as much and could still speak with difficulty.

On the way back to the Ugly Kingdom, the wound he was injured in became more and more swollen, and now he can't even speak clearly.

It was drafty and constantly drooling and foaming; it looked really miserable and disgusting.

Anna, the biological mother, thought of Lu Chi, who had brutally beaten her son, and her eyes turned venomous with hatred.

You little bastard, how dare you hit my son like that? I'll wipe out your Lu family sooner or later!

Joe Karen had a ventilator on her face, and she looked like she didn't have much time left.

He turned his head and saw Lu Jiyang being carried in on a stretcher, his whole body wrapped in bandages, his face swollen like a pig's head. He frowned. From Lu Jiyang's current appearance, it was impossible to tell what he really looked like.

Anna noticed his hesitation, quickly opened Lu Jiyang's photo on her phone, and showed it to Qiao Kailun, saying:

"Second Uncle, Ji Yang used to be very handsome, with delicate features and fair, smooth skin. But because he stood up for what was right, he got beaten up by bad guys, which is why he looks like this now. Once his wounds heal, he'll be handsome again."

Joe Karen nodded in response.

George Kang sat down on the edge of the bed, gently patted Joe Karen's hand, and said, "Second Uncle, take good care of yourself. I will invite the best experts in the world to treat you. Don't worry, you'll be better soon."

Joe Karen shook her head and reached out to pull off the mask covering her face.

I tried to pull it a few times but couldn't budge it.

George Kang quickly and considerately asked, "Second Uncle, is there something you want to say?"

Joe Karen nodded.

George Connor helped him remove the mask, and Joe Karen said in a trembling voice, "The...the will..."

He died before he could finish speaking.

"A will? Second Uncle! Second Uncle, how are you, Second Uncle?!"

"Second Uncle, are you alright?"

"Second Uncle, don't scare me!"

George Kang opened his mouth wide and cried loudly, his voice filled with grief, but not a single tear fell from his eyes.

Seeing that, Anna also started crying loudly.

“My dear second uncle, how could you leave us so young? You were only 81 years old. You should have married a few more wives and had a few more children.”

"Good second uncle, you left us too young. You made so much money, how could you bear to leave us..."

"Cough cough cough..." Anna was fine until she mentioned money. As soon as money was mentioned, Joe Karen on the hospital bed suddenly coughed violently a few times, and his eyes, which were originally tightly closed, opened instantly.

George Connor glared at Anna: "..."

Anna: "..." Money-grubbing? Resurrected from the dead?

Lu Jiyang: "..." Why isn't this old geezer dead yet?

George Connor reacted quickly, grabbing the pillow under Joe Karen's head and forcefully covering his mouth.

Anna exclaimed in surprise, "Husband, you..."

George Connor lowered his voice and roared, "...Shut up!"

After much trouble, Joe Karen finally met her maker.

Then, George Connor burst into tears and shouted, "Doctor! Doctor!"

"Quick, doctor!"

Anna got up from the floor and whispered in George Kang's ear, "Honey, aren't you afraid of being caught on camera doing this? There seem to be security cameras in this ward."

George Connor shook his head: "I already colluded with the technician in charge of the surveillance video. The surveillance cameras in this ward have been broken since yesterday."

"Oh, then I'm relieved."

The doctor arrived quickly and announced that Joe Karen had passed away.

George Kahn, of course, became the heir to his estate.

Lu Jiyang was hospitalized for a week due to his injuries. After recovering, he returned home and the first thing he did was change his name.

The Qiao family notified their friends, relatives, high society, and various media outlets to hold a grand name-changing ceremony for Lu Jiyang, changing his name to Qiao Jiyang in an extremely solemn manner.

Qiao Jiyang, dressed in a suit and tie, stood in front of the camera with great emotion, feeling that he had finally overcome all his hardships.

When he returned to his large estate of over 30,000 square meters that evening, he was surrounded by servants, with more than 200 servants serving him alone.

Qiao Jiyang stood before the large French windows, gazing at the breathtaking scenery of the manor, and thought viciously to himself:

Lu Chi, the Lu family!

You all think that I, Lu Jiyang, no, I, Qiao Jiyang, will never be able to turn my life around. But how could you know that I was reborn? I am the darling of Heaven. How could I not be able to turn my life around?

I now live in such a huge estate, served by servants, and my parents are the richest people in the world, while you, you've only been doing some small business, nothing more.

So what if you're a real young master? I don't care to be the young master of your Lu family. I'm the son of the world's richest man. Your Lu family is doomed!

“Dad!” Qiao Jiyang said to George Kang, “What I want to do most right now is to bring down the Lu family. I hate them so much for how they treated me. I hate them to the extreme. I can’t live in peace until the Lu family falls.”

George Kang nodded: "Son, you don't need to tell me, I will get revenge on the Lu family. They took you in, didn't treat you well, got you arrested, and prevented you from taking the college entrance exam."

And you even let that brat the Lu family brought back bully you like that! How can I possibly swallow this? My son, Qiao Zhikang's son, was forced to leave his parents 20 years ago because of someone's malicious interference. Now that you're back, I will make those people pay a thousandfold for all the suffering you've endured!

Upon hearing George Conn's words, Anna immediately raised her voice and said fiercely:

“Yes, honey, our son has been so pitiful all these years. Other people’s sons are sons, but our son is treated like dirt in other people’s homes. It makes my heart ache just thinking about it.”

Qiao Jiyang quickly squeezed out two tears and recounted his misfortune:

"Dad, Mom, you have no idea how hard I've been, sob sob sob."

“I grew up in the Lu family. They never treated me like a human being. They made me wash dishes, sweep the floor, and do housework every day, and they didn’t even feed me. I was given their leftover swill.”
