Chapter 1

Jungkook had just returned to City S and was waiting by the corridor.

A young servant came out of the study with a tea tray and couldn't help but take a few more glances at him when he saw him.

His chestnut-brown hair was a little long, and the slightly raised ends of his hair hung on both sides of his neck. His mid-parted bangs couldn't hide his delicate eyebrows.

The top two buttons of his shirt weren't buttoned, revealing his delicate collarbone. There was a kind of fiery sexiness that made people want to explore him.

Jungkook sensed the servant's gaze and raised his voice. "Are you new? You don't look familiar. "

The dim yellow light reflected the smile in his eyes, which stirred people's hearts.

The young servant was startled, and even the tips of his ears turned red. "Second Young Master, I …"

Before he could reply, the sound of chatter could be heard from the first floor.

"Why do you think Second Young Master came back at this juncture?"

"Who knows? Won't he be despised when he comes back? He has been sent abroad for so many years, where is his place in this family? "

"I heard that there is an internal problem in the company, and Old Master wants to call Second Young Master back to help."

"Help? Don't joke, with Second Young Master's behavior abroad, the possibility of him coming back to fight with Third Young Master for the family property is higher. "

Taking advantage of the leisure time before dinner, the rest of the servants hid in the utility room on the first floor and chatted in low voices. At this moment, their voices were continuously heard.

When Jungkook biological mother passed away, he was sent abroad by the elders of the family when he was not even eight years old.

At first, Jungkook would still come back during the holidays, but soon there was a new wife in the family, and the other party showed openly and secretly ostracized him.

On the surface, Father jeon protected him, but secretly supported the wife who entered the family later. Even the head of the family, Old Master jeon attitude towards his grandson could be said to be cold.

Jungkook yearning for home became more and more extinguished, and the number of times he came back to City S decreased.

In the blink of an eye, he became a dispensable person in this family, and even the servants dared to gossip about him behind his back.

Jungkook heard these derogatory remarks, and the smile in his eyes turned cold.

The young servant panicked and was about to go downstairs to stop them, but Jungkook grabbed the cup on her tray and said, "Let me use it."

The exquisitely crafted teacup drew a perfect parabola in the air before shattering into pieces on the ground of the first floor.

The noisy discussion downstairs suddenly stopped, and the servants ran out of the utility room to check the situation.

Jungkook put one hand on the railing and warned with a half-smile, "Why don't you speak a little louder? I guarantee that the next cup will hit you on the head. "

"Second young master?"

Gossiping behind someone's back, and the person in question heard everything clearly from upstairs?

The servants felt guilty and immediately picked up the debris on the ground in a panic, not daring to say anything.

Crack.

The door of the study opened again, and a hale and hearty white-haired old man walked out of the study, followed by a middle-aged man.

Upon closer inspection, the two of them looked very similar.

Jungkook said calmly, "Grandpa, Dad."

After being separated for so many years, they had long been estranged from each other, but since they were at home, they had to address each other in name.

"What happened just now? Why was there such a big commotion? "

"It's nothing. I was just annoyed by someone gossiping," Jungkook replied nonchalantly.

Old Master Jeon scrutinized his grandson with a hawk-like gaze, and after a few seconds, he ordered unhappily, "Look at your disheveled clothes. Button up properly before you go downstairs to eat. "

Old Master Jeon made his fortune in the early years of his life through freight transportation.

From a single-handedly long-distance trucker to a large group of freight transportation companies, and then to a nationwide chain freight transportation company … The Shi family's wealth and achievements today were all built from scratch.

Old Master Jeon had been in charge of the family for decades and had a strong personality. Even now, he still had the final say in the Jeon family.

Jungkook was used to the other party's harsh and cold attitude. He adjusted his collar and waited for the two elders to walk down the stairs with their backs facing each other. Then, he blew on his bangs and followed them downstairs.

At the dining table.

The servants who had been gossiping just now didn't dare to make a sound and all stood there obediently.

"Dad, this is the chicken soup I personally made for you. I added a lot of medicinal herbs and it's very nutritious."

At the dining table.

The servants who had been gossiping just now didn't dare to make a sound and all stood there obediently.

"Dad, this is the chicken soup I personally made for you. I added a lot of medicinal herbs and it's very nutritious."

A well-dressed and beautiful woman walked out of the kitchen, speaking very pleasantly. The servant behind her presented the soup pot, and she eagerly scooped a bowl of soup for Old Master Jeon. "Here, drink some. Be careful, it's hot."

Jungkook raised his wine glass and discreetly stared at the beautiful woman who was fawning over him.

She was his stepmother in name, Jeon min ha.

Less than a year after Jungkook mother passed away, Father Jeon brought this woman into the family.

Later, Jungkook found out from the gossip of the old servants that Min ha was Father Jeon first love, but because their families didn't match, Old Master Jeon forced them to break up.

After jung look Mother passed away due to illness, the two of them reunited and got back together.

Not only that, when Min ha entered the jeon family, she brought along the seven-year-old son she had with her ex-husband.

Logically speaking, Old Master Jeon should have rejected her even more. However, Min ha used some kind of coaxing and pestering tactic to make Old Master jeon agree reluctantly with an ashen face.

After so many years, Min ha had become the legitimate Madam of this family, and the child she had with her ex-husband could even be called 'Third Young Master'.

Letting the child of their own family live alone abroad and letting an outsider's child stay at home to be a young master?

Not funny? Not funny?

Jungkook looked away. In the next second, he heard Old Master jeon ask, "Jungkook, it's been almost three years since you graduated. Are you still planning to fool around abroad?"

There was no trace of concern in his tone. It was more like a prelude to a storm

Jungkook pretended not to notice and swirled his wine glass. "It's good abroad, Grandpa. I'm already used to it …"

Sure enough, before he could finish his sentence, the old man cut him off.

"What's good about it? I think you've been living too comfortably as a young master. You're already twenty-four or twenty-five years old. What else do you know other than spending money? You don't even know how to share the burden of the family. "

Jungkook lips twitched slightly in the face of this sudden accusation.

Two years ago, when he had just graduated, he had thought of returning to the jeon family to help out. However, Old Master Jeon had said, 'What do you know, you're just a kid who's still wet behind the ears? Go wherever it's cool! 'and he had rebutted him.

How did it become his fault now?

No one said a word. The atmosphere at the dining table instantly turned cold.

Jungkookgaze darted between Old Master Jeon and Min ha. He hesitated for a moment before he got up and picked up a piece of carp for Jungkook.

"Jungkook, Grandpa is doing this for your own good. All these years, you've been abroad alone. As elders, we've been worried about you.

"Come, have a piece of fish. I remember that you loved fish the most when you were young."

Originally, the long-lost concern from a father should have been moving, but unfortunately, this' good father 'Father Jeon words and actions were too unnatural.

And Jungkook was already past the age where he needed this kind of fatherly love.

He looked at the steaming fish in the bowl and smiled lightly. "Dad, when I was eight years old, I had a fishbone stuck in my throat.

The nanny wasn't around, and you and Auntie Min hawere busy going out on a date. I cried for a long time, but no other servant helped me deal with it.

"This incident left a shadow in my heart. I don't like to eat fish anymore. Why? Didn't you know?"

"…"

Father jeon was stunned. How could he remember this incident?

As they looked at each other, his face finally showed a hint of embarrassment.

Perhaps it was because they had not seen each other for too long, but Father Jeon always felt that he could not see through his son.

For example, when he listened to his son's heartless statement, there was an indescribable sense of mockery in his tone. He was criticizing him for not being a good person as a father.

Seeing that the atmosphere had become tense again, Min ha could only keep winking at her husband, who was beside her, as if there was something urgent that he wanted to say.

Jungkook saw this scene and glanced at Old Master jeon, who was still wearing a straight face.

He was called back to the country at the last minute by Father Jeon l. Father jeon said that Old Master Jeon suddenly felt unwell and asked his grandson to rush back. Looking at the latter's complexion now, the 'illness' was just an excuse to rush him back to the country.

"Grandpa, Dad, if you have something to say, just say it."Jungkook was used to being straightforward when he was abroad, and he hated beating around the bush.

When Min ha heard this,she could not sit still.

"Jungkook listen to Auntie Min ha. The company has invested in a big project some time ago, and the cash flow chain has collapsed. If this drags on, our family might Go bankrupt.

Min ha did not dare to mention the last two words in front of the strong-willed Old Master Jeon she was afraid that it would violate the taboo.

She looked around and confirmed that Old Master jeon and her husband had tacitly agreed. Then, she said matter-of-factly, "We have already discussed with the Kim Corporation. As long as you and Young Master Kim get married, they can …"

Jungkook understood the meaning behind her words and finally sneered for the first time tonight. "Are you kidding me?"

Although same-sex relationships and marriages were already common in today's world, it was impossible for him to casually marry a stranger for the family's benefit.

It was simply impossible.

"We are talking about serious matters with you. How is this a joke?" Old Master Jeon finally spoke.

He was traditional and inflexible in his bones. He did not like same-sex marriages at all. However, in the face of absolute family benefits, he had no choice but to agree with this idea.

The Jeon family had few children. After thinking about it, jungkook was suitable.

Since the Kim Family didn't mind a marriage between a man and a woman, how could they refuse?

"Our family has spent money to raise you for so many years. It's time for you to put in some effort …"

When Jungkook heard his firm tone, he could no longer control the ridicule in his heart.

Who spent money to raise him?

He only knew that the jeon family had not sent a single cent to his card since he was 15 years old.

When he was not using it, they threw it to the edge of the sky. When he was in a hurry, they forced him to return it. They were really treating him like a commodity.

Jung kook was no longer in the mood to eat. He suddenly kicked his chair back.

Screech.

The friction between the legs of the chair and the floor made an ear-piercing sound, as if announcing Jungkook true feelings.

"I was on the plane for more than ten hours. I'm tired." Jungkook stood up and did not give anyone a chance to continue persuading him. "I'm going back to my room to rest. Enjoy your meal."

Grandfather Jeon saw his grandson's reluctant answer and ordered in a deep voice, "You can't avoid this. Think about it carefully for the next two days. When the time comes, I'll contact the Kim family and arrange for you to meet!"

"Grandpa, if you want to meet, go ahead. I won't stop you, but don't drag me into this." Jungkook drank the wine in one gulp, turned around, and walked up to the second floor, ignoring everyone's expressions.

The servants who were watching the whole process looked at each other and could not help but mutter in their hearts —

Second Young Master was obviously singing a different tune from Grandfather Jeon? They hadn't seen each other for a few years. Did he eat a bear's heart and leopard's guts?

Jungkook did not wait for Grandfather Jeon to react. He hid in his bedroom and locked the door. He took out his phone and booked a flight overseas for the next day.

Since this family had let him go from the beginning, it was impossible to keep him now.

Jungkook liked men. But to let him give up his carefree life overseas and marry someone he had only met a few times? And to call it a business marriage?

This was simply outrageous! Damn, this was outrageous!

Dream on!

Jungkook spent a few minutes suppressing his desire to complain. Then, he washed up and went to bed.

A long international flight was the most mentally exhausting.

Jungkook planned to get a good night's sleep and escape with his luggage the next day. However, he did not expect that he would first dream of a strange scene — —

Jungkook dreamed that his life was just an unlucky male supporting character in a novel. The main character of this novel was his nominal younger brother, the 'Third Young Master' Min song Kang .

Min song Kang was a soul from a different world. After an accident, he accidentally transmigrated into a novel called "Ten Billion Wealth Through Books" and became the male protagonist of the same name.

Because he was familiar with the plot development of the original novel, Song Kang gradually became acquainted with the big shots in the novel and built his own investment empire.

Not only did he become the richest man in China at a young age, but he also gained the pursuit of countless admirers. He was definitely a great male protagonist of the novel.

Jungkook, who was the 'original inhabitant of the novel', was a completely different example.

Because he rejected the marriage and chose to escape, this behavior caused the jeon and Kim families to be dissatisfied. Moreover, it gave Sing Kang and the young master of the Kim family an opportunity to meet each other.

After leaving the Jeon family, Jungkook became jealous of Song Kang wealth and connections because of his own difficulties.

He maliciously hindered Song Kang career development while learning from Song Kang. Unfortunately, under the suppression of Song Kang ' protagonist aura ', he only gained a bad reputation of being greedy and greedy.

After being betrayed by everyone, Song Kang and the others ridiculed and pranked him. He also owed a huge debt. In the end, he could not bear the pain and chose to end his life in a rented house.

…

This dream was especially long. It was as if it progressed from the beginning of the novel to the end. It was unbelievably vivid.

When Jungkook woke up, he realized that his body was soaked in cold sweat. He sat up and panted heavily. His body was so tired that it was as if he had fought a hard battle.

It was said that the clearer the dream, the easier it was to have a blurry memory after waking up. However, the content of the 'original novel' seemed to be imprinted in his mind. He could not get rid of it no matter how hard he tried.

Time passed by minute by minute.jungkook sat on the bed in a daze. He had huge doubts about this realistic dream.

After all, he had lived in this world for twenty-five years. How could his original understanding be overturned by a dream?

Just as he was immersed in self-doubt, his phone suddenly rang.
