In 2010, the wide roads of Guangcheng were bustling with traffic, and commuters hurried along the sidewalks.
Having been reborn so suddenly, Chen Ze felt he had to make good use of it and make up for the regrets of his previous life.
Five minutes later, Chen Ze returned to Room 301 on the third floor of Building A in Mingzhu Community.
"Knock knock knock!"
Chen Ze knocked on the door three times.
"Snap!"
The door opened, and a boy a year younger than Chen Ze poked his head out, smiling, "Brother, you're back!"
"Um!"
Chen Wei is Chen Ze's half-brother. Chen Ze's biological mother died during childbirth when he was born.
That same year, just one month after his mother's death, his father, Chen Zhensheng, remarried. Chen Ze's uncle even went to his father's house and got into a fight with him, cursing Chen Zhensheng for being heartless.
Chen Ze poured himself a glass of water and took a sip while sitting on the sofa.
"Brother, here are your college entrance exam results. I got them back for you."
Chen Ze didn't look. He knew that if he wasn't mistaken, he had scored 659 points, just like in his previous life, while Chen Wei scored 670 points. He had to admit that his younger brother was better than him.
Chen Wei walked over and sat down next to Chen Ze, saying, "Brother, yesterday I saw a photo of Dad and a short-haired woman in Dad's drawer. Is that your mother?"
Chen Ze looked at him coldly. In his previous life, Chen Wei had tricked him into his father's room in the same way, and then his mother came back and caught Chen Ze in the act, falsely accusing him of stealing money.
Although he knew Chen Wei was plotting against him, he had to get his mother's photo back because he had never seen his mother since birth, which was a great regret in his life.
After Huang Yanhong married Chen Zhensheng, she burned all the photos of Chen Ze's mother in the house. The only one was secretly hidden by her father.
Unexpectedly, his stepmother later found him and used the photos to lure Chen Ze into the room.
In this life, he had no feelings for this cold family, so why not just follow his stepmother's wishes?
He glanced at Chen Wei and asked, feigning an inquiry, "Are you sure?"
Chen Wei said in a low voice, "I'm not sure if the woman upstairs is your mother. If you want to know, go in and see for yourself. Dad forgot to lock the bedroom door today. After today, you may not have another chance to go in."
After saying that, Chen Wei took the basketball and went out the door.
As soon as Chen Wei left and the iron gate closed, Chen Ze immediately opened his father's bedroom door and went inside.
Arriving at the dressing table, Chen Ze relied on his memories from his previous life.
He went straight to the bottom drawer and found the slightly yellowed photos. These old photos were a picture of his father and mother when they were young. When they were young, his mother looked like an ordinary woman, with a more domestic appearance.
He flipped the photo over and saw the date it was taken, as well as his mother's name: Lin Miaoyin. He carefully looked at the outline of his mother's face and wiped the photo with his hand.
He called out, his voice choked with emotion, "Mom, I miss you."
Just then, the iron gate was opened from the outside. Chen Ze turned his head and saw that his father and stepmother had returned. He hurriedly hid the photo in his pocket.
Huang Yanhong and her father have already discovered him.
"Who gave you permission to enter my room without permission? What were you trying to steal?" the stepmother demanded.
"I only came in to look for my mother's photos, I didn't steal anything from you."
Chen Zhensheng stared at him coldly, clearly not believing what Chen Ze said.
Huang Yan Hong pointed her finger at Chen Ze's nose: "You wait, let me see if anything is missing. If anything is missing, you'll be in trouble."
As she searched, she yelled, "Look at the mess you've made of the drawer! And you still dare to say you're not here to steal anything?"
A moment later, she took out a woman's handbag, unzipped it, and pointed at it, demanding, "Where's the ten thousand yuan in the bag? I just put it in last night. Where did it go? That was for your younger brother's college education. Give it back now and I'll pretend this never happened."
"Money? What money? I've never seen it before."
Chen Ze knew that Chen Wei had put the 10,000 yuan in his bedroom pillow. Next, his stepmother would go to his bedroom, take the money out of the pillow, and frame him.
Chen Zhensheng stepped forward, grabbed his collar, and shouted, "Give me back the money, or I'll have to take action."
In his previous life, Chen Ze was beaten to a pulp by his father and didn't dare to resist. He was thrown out of the house and sent to live in the countryside.
Just as Chen Zhensheng was about to slap him across the face, he, who was prepared, easily dodged the blow.
"I'll give you one more chance to get your money back," Chen Zhensheng said coldly.
“I didn’t take her money, so I don’t need you to give me a chance.”
“Honey, if he won’t admit it, I’ll go look in his bedroom and see if he stole it.”
Chen Zhensheng nodded in agreement, and the two searched Chen Ze's bedroom for less than a minute.
Huang Yanhong took Chen Ze's pillow and came to him, unzipped it and took out a stack of hundred-yuan bills, which looked to be more than ten thousand yuan.
Huang Yanhong stared at him smugly, "What else do you have to say? The evidence is complete, do you still want to deny it?"
Chen Ze stared coldly at Huang Yanhong. Just like in his previous life, this woman had her son hide money in his pillow, providing ample evidence so that he would have no way to defend himself.
"Trying to frame me? Not so easy." With that, Chen Ze took out his phone and dialed 110 to report the crime.
With all the evidence in hand, Chen Ze still refused to admit it. In a fit of rage, Chen Zhensheng rushed over and punched Chen Ze in the face.
He was badly beaten in his past life, so in this life he decided to fight back, even if he couldn't win.
