Chapter 1: I’m Reincarnated?
“Bang—”
A rotten apple mercilessly struck Su Mu’s head.
“Stop pretending, get up.”
There seemed to be sounds of people smashing things nearby, chattering about something.
So noisy!!!
Which sparrow has become a spirit?!!
His mind was in chaos, his brain feeling like it wanted to run away, pulling at his skull making him dizzy.
After enduring a bout of dizziness.
Su Mu slowly opened his eyelids.
The smell of disinfectant, the familiar room setting.
This is…?
Mingcheng Hospital!
He “shot” up.
He could move?
Looking down, he froze! It would be a lie to say he wasn’t shocked.
Raising both perfectly intact hands, repeatedly turning them over, as if trying hard to confirm whether he was seeing things wrong!
Weren’t his hands crushed long ago, and even after being repaired, they were bent, twisted, and extremely ugly?
Moreover, after being paralyzed for twenty years, his limbs had atrophied and his body was just skin and bones, so how were these hands still fair and tender, like those of a young man?
Something’s not right!!!
Could it be…
Reincarnation???
This realization excited him immensely! It was even more outrageous than suddenly finding a winning lottery ticket worth millions while walking down the street!
But he welcomed it! He welcomed this kind of cheat code a thousand times over!
Su Mu closed his eyes, feeling what it was like to be alive, digesting the fact of his reincarnation.
When he opened his eyes again, those eyes transformed from previously harmless to sharp and cold.
Like a little sheep that had been bullied for years, instantly evolving into a lurking wolf.
However, he only revealed this for a moment before withdrawing his aura.
He coldly observed the two people standing by his bed, his expression unreadable.
These two were Su Mu’s parents, here to “visit” the hospitalized Su Mu.
The Su family matriarch, Madam Yun (Yun Yanrou), seeing Su Mu awake, angrily rushed to the hospital bed.
Snarling at Su Mu, she shouted, “You, Su Mu, you did this on purpose, didn’t you? Pretending to faint to avoid the arranged marriage meeting, so Ning’er would have to go instead.”
“You just can’t stand Ning’er, can you? How can you be so cruel as a brother, you’re willing to watch Ning’er marry a man, aren’t you!”
Hearing this, Su Mu’s eyes turned cold, his sickly pale face stern, before breaking into a self-mocking smile.
These were the ‘parents’ who raised him for over twenty years, yet they showed not a hint of concern when he was sick, not even asking once why he had fainted.
In his previous life, he had been too blind to see through this facade, his eyes covered by twenty years of supposed parental love. How foolish he had been.
“That’s enough, Mu’er just woke up. We can discuss this when we get home,” Father Su played the role of mediator.
“I’m just worried about our Ning’er. She suffered so much in the countryside before, and just when we brought her back, before she could enjoy a few good days, this happened. How can I, as a mother, not be anxious?” Mother Su acted heartbroken, while occasionally shooting glares at Su Mu.
Yes, the situation was this melodramatic.
Su Mu, who had been the Young Master of the Su family for twenty-two years, was told a few days ago that he wasn’t their biological son.
It was because a careless hospital nurse had mixed up the babies.
The real Su Young Master was Su Ning, who had been raised by farmers in the countryside.
The truth came to light when Su Mu’s blood donation form was seen by Mother Su.
Father Su and Mother Su were both type AB, making it impossible for them to have a type O child like Su Mu.
So Mother Su quietly told Father Su about this, and being a wealthy family, investigating such matters was simple for the Sus.
Soon, they found their biological son’s whereabouts.
Mother Su, grieving over missing so many years with her son, immediately brought him back to the Su family.
When Mother Su revealed all this a few days ago, Su Mu initially couldn’t believe it.
It wasn’t until Mother Su threw a paternity test report at Su Mu that he finally accepted it as truth.
Now, in the hospital…
While Mother Su was endlessly berating Su Mu, he recognized the exact point in time he had returned to.
It was right before the arranged marriage between the Su and Chu families.
Perfect timing – not too early, not too late. There was still a chance to make amends and start anew.
The Chu family patriarch and Su family patriarch had served in the same military unit and were close friends. Thus, they arranged a marriage between their grandchildren.
Su Mu had fainted today on his way to meet Chu Hanting, the Chu family’s heir, for their arranged marriage meeting.
The reason for fainting was that he had been practicing piano late into the night for an upcoming competition in half a month, which triggered benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, causing him to faint and be brought to the hospital.
After scanning the hospital room, Su Mu’s lips curved slightly.
Good. Since heaven has given him a second chance,
This time, he must make those who harmed him in his previous life pay the price.
And that person who had him in their heart and eyes – the one he couldn’t respond to in his previous life – he won’t let them down in this life.
“Su Mu, are you listening? I’m asking why you deliberately pretended to faint?”
“The Chu family is not someone our Su family can afford to offend. It’s your good fortune that they’ve chosen you, don’t be ungrateful!”
“If you don’t marry into the Chu family, you’ll have to go back to your birth father’s place. I heard that village is poor and chaotic – if you don’t agree to this marriage, you’ll end up farming in the countryside, living a meaningless life.”
Su Mu looked at her coldly, his expression distant and indifferent, offering no response, as if these two people were merely irrelevant existences.
“I’m talking to you, what do you mean by this attitude?”
“You’re too noisy,” Su Mu shot an icy glare at Mother Su.
“I will go to the marriage meeting,” he said, then smoothly got out of bed, passing by the two without looking back as he left the hospital room.
Outside the hospital, breathing in the fresh air.
The noon sun warmed his body, activating energy in his depleted cells like spring breathing life into dead wood. His body seemed to stretch out, allowing Su Mu to once again feel the vitality of a living body.
Unlike his previous life’s end, when he was confined to a sickbed for decades in a cold, immobile body until death.
Taking a deep breath.
After a while, Su Mu clenched his fist, making a silent vow.
This time, he definitely won’t repeat the same mistakes.
Arriving by taxi at the Su residence, looking at this familiar home where he had lived for twenty years, he felt the mansion was completely devoid of warmth.
In his previous life, after the real young master returned, he was pushed into the arranged marriage.
They called it an arranged marriage to make it sound nice, but it was really just selling a son for glory.
For marrying into the Chu family, Old Master Chu offered to give the Su Group a hundred million yuan in support.
Su Yuanshan, Su Mu’s father, was the chairman of the Su Group. He was a mediocre man.
Since he took over, the Su Group that Old Master Su had built up gradually declined.
Unfortunately, Old Master Su had suffered injuries during his military service and passed away early.
He only had Su Yuanshan as his son. And Su Yuanshan was incompetent. Now the Su Group was showing signs of decline.
This hundred million would help the Su Group through their urgent crisis.
So, Su Mu was forced into the marriage.
It was forced because in his previous life, Su Mu had heard from Su Ning that Chu Hanting was a cold-blooded, vicious, and cruel person.
Therefore, he was resistant to the marriage from the start. After marriage, he remained cold towards Chu Hanting.
During their time together, it was filled almost entirely with his cold words and attitude toward Chu Hanting, leaving that person riddled with emotional wounds.
As the unpleasant memories from his previous life gradually returned, they hit Su Mu’s brain all at once, making him increasingly dizzy.
He rubbed his temples.
Realizing his current physical condition urgently needed rest, Su Mu didn’t linger any longer and strode into the Su residence.
Just as he entered the living room, the butler, who had been pacing back and forth waiting for the master and madam, stopped him.
“Young Master, where are the master and madam? Didn’t they go to the hospital? Why didn’t they return together?”
Since the revelation of his false young master identity, this butler, who treated people according to their status, no longer showed Su Mu any courtesy.
At this moment, Su Mu, tormented by dizziness, his eyes bloodshot, pushed past the blocking butler: “Get lost.”
The butler stumbled from being pushed, glancing at Su Mu going upstairs while muttering under his breath: “Hmph, still acting like he’s the young master. He’ll probably end up sleeping on the streets one of these days. Nothing but a country-born bastard who’s been playing cuckoo in the nest all these years, still thinking he’s something special?”
