Chapter 1 The Capitalist's Daughter is Reborn

"Yanyan, Dad knows that it was really unfair of you to marry Zhiwei."

"But if you don't marry, when those lunatics come to ransack our house, Dad won't be able to protect you!"

"You are the only son of the Cen family. If something happens to you, how will your father face your mother after he passes away?"

"Stop throwing a tantrum! Zhiwei has been waiting downstairs for ages. If you don't come out soon, I'll break down the door and drag you down myself!"

Hearing the sounds coming from outside, Cen Yan, sitting on the classical canopy bed, was momentarily stunned.

She has been reborn back to the autumn of 1974, the day the Cen family was put on the liquidation list?

In three days, the Red Armbandists will break down the Cen family's door, ransack the house, and arrest people to be sent to the Northwest.

As the only daughter of the Cen family, she was the first to be affected and could not escape it.

The only way to break this deadlock is to get married and become part of another family.

Bang! The knocking turned into slamming, and Cen Yan's gaze gradually turned cold.

In her previous life, she experienced the same things as today.

Shan Jianshe, the father who married into the Cen family, knocked on her door, urging her to come downstairs for a blind date, claiming it was for her own good.

At first, Cen Yan disagreed, feeling that there was still room for maneuver.

Because their Cen family had been a family of good deeds for generations, opening granaries during famines and contributing funds during wartime, they possessed real "red capital."

It won't come to the point of being liquidated and demoted.

But later, Shan Jianshe used both soft and hard tactics, even threatening suicide.

Cen Yan couldn't refuse, so she had to agree to marry Hu Zhiwei and go back to the countryside with him to avoid the reckoning.

But she never expected that the husband her father, who had always doted on her, had chosen for her was a castrated psychopath!

After returning to the countryside with Hu Zhiwei, she was locked in a cellar before she could even react. She was deprived of sunlight and subjected to abuse and beatings as a daily occurrence.

Years later, she escaped death and finally found Shan Jianshe in Hong Kong. However, she was tricked into drinking water laced with a sedative before he could even call her "Dad." She was then sent back to Hu Zhiwei by boat overnight.

It wasn't until then that she realized that Shan Jianshe's kindness to her had been a lie from beginning to end!

Marrying her off to Hu Zhiwei was a way to get rid of her so that the Cen family's assets could be transferred quietly, and he could take his mistress and their child to Hong Kong, leaving her alone in Shanghai to await retribution.

After the sheet was returned to the Hu family, she was met with even more severe abuse from Hu Zhiwei.

She thought that after a serious illness, death would bring her relief, but she never expected that these wolves and tigers had no intention of letting her go. Instead, they sold her into a ghost marriage, buried her alive, and suffocated her to death...

Having been given a second chance at life, she will reclaim everything that belongs to the Cen family and make that beast Shan Jianshe pay the price he deserves!

Thinking of this, Cen Yan's breathing became heavier. She got up, opened the door, and stared intently at the man's face.

His eyes were clearly filled with greed and scheming for the Cen family's assets. Why couldn't she see that in her past life and think he was a good father?

When Shan Jianshe saw Cen Yan come out obediently, the anger on his face immediately vanished. "You're not angry with Daddy anymore? That's a good girl!"

“Listen to your father, go downstairs and meet Zhiwei. He is a really good comrade. He comes from three generations of poor peasants and has a good family background. If you marry him, even if our family is raided, it won’t affect you.”

Looking at Shan Jianshe's hypocritical smile, Cen Yan wanted to raise her hand and slap him, shattering his fake fatherly facade, but she didn't.

While she was in the room, Cen Yan had already made up her mind that she would definitely repay Shan Jianshe's family of leeches for all the suffering she had endured in her past life, but now was not the time.

Her household registration booklet was in this beast's hands, making it impossible for her to go anywhere. At this point, choosing to confront Shan Jianshe head-on would only result in her suffering the consequences.

The most urgent task is to transfer her household registration to a separate address, and then there's the inheritance left to her by her grandparents...

Thinking of this, Cen Yan suppressed her disgust and looked at Shan Jianshe with a wronged expression: "Dad! I haven't forgiven you yet! Unless you buy me the jade necklace I had my eye on a while ago, I won't listen to you. Who wants to go on a blind date with that damn Hu Zhiwei? You can go find her!"

"Yanyan, don't be willful. Don't you know what the situation is? The Red Armbands are keeping a close eye on us. We're trying to keep a low profile, how can we afford to spend money so ostentatiously?"

Dan Jianshe frowned. Cen Yan had mentioned that the jade necklace was made of emerald, and the other party was asking for a full three thousand two hundred yuan. In 1974, this was an astronomical sum!

Cen Yan's eyes reddened slightly: "Fine, I won't buy it then. Everyone else has one, but I don't. How will I, the eldest daughter of the Cen family, put my face when I go out? Hu Zhiwei, is it? Let your 'adopted daughter' Shan Xianxian get married. She's registered in the Cen family, so she has to get married to avoid being purged."

As she spoke, Cen Yan appeared to be throwing a tantrum and was about to turn back.

Dan Jianshe's eyelids twitched. He didn't have time to argue with Cen Yan. His top priority was to get this brat away from him!

"Okay! Dad will buy it for you. It's just a jade necklace. Whatever my precious daughter wants, Dad will buy it for her!"

Shan Jianshe called his wife, Hu Lier, and asked her to open the cabinet and take out the money.

Upon hearing this, Hu Lier's smiling face immediately darkened. "Honey, you're spoiling Yan Yan too much. She's only twenty years old, why is she wearing emeralds? It's a waste of money!"

Cen Yan sneered and looked at Shan Jianshe with her wet eyes: "Dad, isn't all the money in the Cen family left to me by my grandparents? Why does Aunt Hu have such a strong possessive desire for my money?"

"Or are you saying I'm not your precious daughter at all, and Aunt Hu can bully me however she wants? Humph, I'm not marrying you!"

Cen Yan walked back in a huff.

Shan Jianshe glared at Hu Lier, "If the child wants to buy jewelry, just give her the money. Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and go!"

He's determined to divorce Hu Lier now that the transfer of assets has been delayed!

Hu Lier gritted her teeth and reluctantly went back to her room to get three thousand two hundred yuan from Cen Yan, slapping it heavily into Cen Yan's hand.

Cen Yan was showered with money, but she wasn't angry at all. She made a huge profit, earning 3,200 yuan!

But this is hardly enough! She doesn't want to leave that bastard's family a single copper coin!

Next, she needs to retrieve that item to avoid any unforeseen complications.
