Chapter 016 Chapter 16
Chapter 16
The main building of Xie Family Manor.
The vacant suite on the sixth floor finally welcomed its owner.
When the Xie family bought the manor, they had originally thought about connecting the rooms and giving the entire sixth floor to Xie Yuanzhi. However, the manor has only been used frequently this year. Most of the time they live in another villa, so this matter has never been put on the agenda.
At that time, living in a villa in the city was convenient for Xie Yuanzhi to go to school. Later, when Xie Yuanzhi was admitted to Capital University, the original property had outdated facilities and the house price was about to fall, so the villa was directly replaced with another large flat and given to Xie Yuanzhi.
There is no need to renovate this house now. Xie Yuanzhi has his own large flat and he only stays in this suite occasionally.
Such an arrangement makes it difficult for people staying here to find fault. After all, the specifications, layout and orientation of the two suites on the sixth floor are exactly the same, and are distributed in a mirror image.
Xie Pingyuan was expecting this, after all, it was the same in his previous life.
After experiencing a month of ordinary life in the Jiang family, Xie Pingyuan, lying on the million-dollar mattress, sighed comfortably.
This month was indeed a bit difficult for him as he had lived a life of luxury in his previous life.
When he was just reborn, he also thought about not recognizing the Xie family and building a career for himself outside, so that the Xie family would rely on him in turn.
Unfortunately, he was beaten up by society right at the beginning.
The social class structure of the entire country is rigid, so let alone trying to cross the class barrier on one's own, the fact that he can now sit at home without being robbed is because the Jiang family chose this community despite taking on a mortgage.
After all, the security in this community is quite strong.
If he went out to look for cooperation, high-end companies would not let him in, and he looked down on ordinary companies, so he set up his own...
His current funds were not even enough to choose a safe place to do business, so he could only choose a location in the slums. But at that time, it was still unclear whether his company could be successful.
Thinking of this, Xie Pingyuan felt deeply resentful towards those members of Congress. They collected so much taxes, and then went out to engage in war every day. Not to mention recovering the costs, a sheep could cost tens of thousands of dollars. It was conceivable who pocketed all this money.
In this case, if he wants to become a rich man as an ordinary person, it is not certain whether he will end up with a luxury house and a luxury car or reclaim land.
——The one he is most likely to be filled in with.
Xie Pingyuan sighed, took out his phone and sent a message to the pinned post marked 'Ruan Ruan'.
"No, my biological parents are very kind to me."
Xie Pingyuan's sharp eyes softened when he saw the portrait opposite.
"Your biological parents treat you well?"
After the person on the other end typed this sentence, it showed that he was still typing for a long time, and the last sentence he sent was quite short.
"As long as my biological parents treat my brother well, congratulations to my brother for getting what he wanted! (Happy)"
Xie Pingyuan looked at the last happy smiling face and finally curled up the corners of his mouth.
This smile on the handsome face inherited from Xie Qiping was very pleasing to the eye. He started tapping on his cell phone briskly.
The light in Xie Pingyuan's room stayed on until the early morning.
When he was about to fall asleep, Xie Pingyuan was still thinking about the chat history with Ruan Ruan.
"Fortunately, Ruan Ruan hasn't changed. He is still the same as before, kind and gentle." Xie Pingyuan thought, and relaxed and fell asleep.
At the same time, on the other side of the capital, a young man with a delicate face put down the mobile phone in his hand and muttered with a puzzled look.
"When did the Xie family hold a family recognition banquet?"
*
The lights in Xie Pingyuan's room went out, but the lights in Jiang's house on the other side of the capital were still on.
"...Old man, are you really not going to call us?"
Jiang Zhiyuan looked at his phone and sighed.
It was almost dawn when they got home. Fortunately, everyone stayed at night for safety reasons, otherwise the news that they were brought back in a luxury car would immediately cause most people in the community group to go crazy.
After all, the luxury car that the Xie family sent them back was really eye-catching.
However, what the Jiang family cares most about is Jiang Ping'an.
Although Xie Yuanzhi and the others had added each other on WeChat, they were still reserved in speaking. When Xie Yuanzhi asked whether she had arrived home, she was even a little flattered.
Jiang Ping'an is different. Just the situation tonight makes them quite worried whether he will offend people living in the Xie family.
——Unfortunately, Jiang Pingan doesn’t seem to be very worried about them.
Not only did he not tell them about the Xie family's life, he didn't even send them a message asking whether they had arrived home.
It would be fine if they didn't hear from anyone else.
but……
The phone on the desk was still stuck on the message from Xie Yuanzhi that showed his concern. Zhu Fengxin let out a long sigh and suddenly felt like he had aged several years.
"Mom, how about I call the youngest tomorrow morning?"
When Jiang Zhiyuan saw Zhu Fengxin like this, he shouted worriedly.
"No, he'll probably visit the villa tomorrow morning, so there's no need to call. He's doing well, and we just need to not hold him back."
Zhu Fengxin said while forcing a smile.
"Before, the youngest complained that I was always controlling him. Now, he no longer has to control me. I am relieved. Yuanzhi is also a good kid. I am lucky that they can come to see me."
Zhu Fengxin said in a stern tone.
But Jiang Facai saw the water marks on Zhu Fengxin's face.
He was silent for a long time, then gently patted Zhu Fengxin's shoulder and said awkwardly: "...You should have a good rest at home tomorrow, and I will take care of the stall."
He is not good at speaking but is careful. He also knows that Zhu Fengxin's words are all spoken in anger. If Jiang Ping'an comes to her house tomorrow, she will immediately forget what happened before, happily cook for Jiang Ping'an, and still be unforgiving with her words.
But will Jiang Ping'an come back?
Nobody knows.
Jiang Facai could only do his best to help Zhu Fengxin adjust his mood and relax.
To be honest, they can't compete with the powerful and wealthy Xie family.
A family reunion banquet may seem like a peaceful solution, but in reality it is just a fig leaf.
After Jiang Facai spoke, there was silence in the house for a long time. Zhu Fengxin was stunned for a while and finally wiped away her tears.
"It's late, go to bed. We have things to do tomorrow."
As he said this, he dragged his tired body to the bathroom.
Jiang Zhiyuan had already put his sleepy daughter into his room, and he planned to spend the night on the sofa.
He listened to the sighing sounds coming from his parents' room, which lasted for half an hour before gradually subsiding.
At this time, Jiang Zhiyuan's frustration subsided a little, and he gradually felt sleepy.
Before falling asleep, Jiang Zhiyuan took a last look at his phone.
Jiang Ping'an still didn't send any message.

The mood of the Jiang family members all fell to the lowest point, but 777's mood was soaring.
In the consciousness space, the data stream of 777 was flying all over the sky, making Gu Youxing dazzled.
"Host!!!! It's full, full, full, finally full!" 777 screamed excitedly.
Along with this voice, the personal panel in front of Gu Youxing also flashed excitedly.
Personal panel
Name: [Gu Youxing (Number of activated vests: 2)]
Age: [25]
Current identity: [Xie Yuanzhi (22)]
The plot world: ["After rebirth, I reached the peak of my life" (click for original text)]
Task progress bar:
- Overall mission: [Get rid of cannon fodder status and reach the pinnacle of life]
- Current mission: ["Win family affection"]
- Mission objective: [Consistently gain the favor of parents.]
- Mission Progress: [100/100 (Completed)]
- Current emotion value: [10w/10w]
System summary: "Sometimes human affection is based on comparison. Congratulations to the host for meeting a protagonist who has not yet evolved into a complete form and has successfully completed the mission in a very short time."]
'This system summary is as speechless as ever.'
Gu Youxing rubbed his eyebrows and thought.
"I've completed two tasks in a week. Other systems must be envious of me. I must be the business model of this quarter, hahahahahaha!"
People’s joys and sorrows are not the same, but 777 is still laughing wildly.
Gu Youxing let 777 go crazy while he was checking the rewards for this mission.
[Rewards for this mission: Number of times you can exchange world currency x10, world fusion progress +10, agricultural course (idiot version) x1. ]
[Special reward: 'World Aid' x1]
"There is only one world to help. It seems that the special rewards still depend on the difficulty of the mission."
'The only other common rewards are useful for agricultural courses. There is no rush to exchange them for currencies from other worlds. As long as you don't starve to death for the time being, you will have enough time to exchange them for money.'
Gu Youxing stroked his chin and thought, and as his ears became quieter and quieter, he finally spoke.
"Xiao Qi, when will the system mall be opened?"
777, who had finally calmed down, answered cheerfully.
"Now! Host, you still have four days to prepare including today!"
As 777 spoke, he excitedly scattered flowers and fired salutes on Gu Youxing's personal panel. The store entrance option that gradually emerged was as shiny as if it was sprinkled with a layer of gold powder.
777 has never fought such a rich battle! Four days of preparation time! The host should be able to arm the other vest to the teeth! By then, his commission will definitely be as high as possible!
777 thought with great excitement.
The store template he chose is the most popular one in the system industry and also the one with the highest transaction rate.
The resources, tools and books that the host needs are all in the ordinary goods column, while special props like Cthulhu's foot skin are all in the special goods column. However, the prices are sky-high, which is one of the reasons why the retirement rate of these hosts is low.
Most of them have never tried those special props!
The subsequent lottery interface will allow these hosts to contribute most of their emotional values!
777 thought of this, and the entire data stream trembled with joy.
——Until 777 saw Gu Youxing click on the store, took a few glances and then exited.
"Don't look at me like that, Xiao Qi. I admit that the goods in the store are quite tempting."
Gu Youxing faced 777's disappointed look and calmly pointed to the emotional value on his personal panel.
"But obviously my emotional value, which has just returned to zero, cannot afford these expenses."
777, who couldn't wait to take advantage of the host: "..."
"...Host, the identity of the vest has not yet been confirmed, but the world has been confirmed to be an ancient world. We recommend that the host prepare some general protective equipment in the next few days. It will not be too late to prepare items after the identity of the vest is confirmed."
777 said a little stiffly.
"In ancient times..."
Gu Youxing stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"It seems that we need to find something for some people to do first."
So that when other brains are needed, there will be no time available.
...and also earn some emotional points, so that Xiao Qi won't look at him with resentful eyes.
Four days later.
Xie Pingyuan watched Xie Yuanzhi coax the two mothers into a trance: "..."
At the same time, the real estate circle in City M received a message.
Xie Yuanzhi from the Xie family, the young Mr. Xie that they are most wary of recently.
——Not Xie family’s biological child!
*
In the eighth year of Yuanxing, the capital.
Prince Chungnyeong's Palace.
A figure suddenly sat up from the bed, and Changshun, the servant who was sleeping on the footstool, was immediately awakened.
"What do you want, my Lord?"
Chang Shun spoke carefully.
The figure inside the bed curtain stood there for a long time before speaking.
"Nothing, just go to sleep."
Changshun felt relieved when he heard that the prince did not sound angry. As long as everything was fine, he was glad. However, he did not dare to sleep. He quietly watched the prince lie down again, then he breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the bed.
[Xiao Qi, it’s ok for you to ask me to rebel, but this body should be older at least.]
Gu Youxing lay back down and fiercely opened the communication panel with 777, and took a screenshot of the age of the pseudonym on his personal panel.
[A six-year-old boy with a four-head body! Anyone a little taller would have to jump up if he stabbed someone in the vitals with a knife! ]
