Chapter 60: Rebirth to Mend Regrets

The four of them strolled through the campus of S University.

Watching Wang Haoran introduce the school in a smooth and humorous manner, Xu Anlin appeared to listen attentively but felt disdainful inside.

Sure, you graduated from S University, but everyone knows your degree was bought!

If you had to rely on your own ability, you wouldn’t get in even if you tried for a hundred years!

And Liu Yunshuang is also a graduate of this school, why not let her talk?

You just want to impress my girlfriend!

Xu Anlin knew that underneath Wang Haoran’s good looks lay a filthy heart.

In his previous life, Wang Haoran used his status as Liu Xinyao’s brother-in-law to obstruct his relationship with Liu Xinyao.

It was also on this summer day that Xu Anlin and Liu Xinyao, who weren’t yet a couple, coincidentally met and decided to tour the campus together.

The scheming Wang Haoran immediately saw that they liked each other but hadn’t confessed, so he made a wicked plan to keep them apart.

He told Xu Anlin that a man should talk less and do more, proving himself with achievements before confessing grandly. Meanwhile, he pretended to help Xu Anlin start a business, then told Liu Xinyao that girls shouldn’t be proactive, and should test a man’s love to ensure a stable relationship.

Believing Wang Haoran’s lies, Xu Anlin got so busy dealing with company issues that he had no time to be with Liu Xinyao.

And Liu Xinyao, waiting in vain for his confession and misled by Wang Haoran’s machinations, became deeply disappointed.

Naively, Xu Anlin thought his lack of success made Liu Xinyao reject him, so he focused even more on his career.

They missed each other.

After graduating, he coincidentally met Liu Xinyao again and learned the truth from her, but by then, she looked at him with a stranger’s coldness.

Realizing the truth, he confronted Wang Haoran.

Wang Haoran didn’t deny it, laughing outright.

“It was me. So what? Hit me if you can!”

“I’ll tell you the truth: I think you don’t deserve Yao Yao!”

“But now that you know, do you think Yao Yao will believe you?”

Furious, Xu Anlin couldn’t do anything. Facing Wang Haoran, he was powerless.

A slight move from Wang Group left him bankrupt and in debt.

Desperate, Wang Haoran didn’t let him go. He found him specifically to say,

“Good buddy, Yao Yao relies on me a lot as her brother-in-law. Maybe one day I’ll take care of her for you in bed!”

“I’ll make sure to share the good news!”

Hearing this, already suffocating under debt, Xu Anlin despaired and drowned his sorrows in alcohol before jumping off.

But perhaps out of pity, the heavens gave him another chance.

Instead of pain upon landing, he found himself back in his high school classroom!

Reborn?

After disbelief came joy and ambition!

Everything was just beginning!

This time, he would hold onto that first love he could never have, and repay the girl who was his only help in hard times.

And of course, make Wang Haoran suffer tenfold, a hundredfold!

Since Wang Haoran wanted both Liu Yunshuang and Liu Xinyao, he would confess to Liu Xinyao first and then get close to Liu Yunshuang!

He would repay kindness and seek revenge!

He vowed not to leave any regrets this life!

Even though he was now with Liu Xinyao, the Wang Group was powerful, so he had to proceed slowly, pretending to be friendly with Wang Haoran.

With time and his knowledge of the future, he was confident he could bring down Wang Group!

For now, let this hypocrite enjoy a little longer!

Thinking this, Xu Anlin looked at Wang Haoran, who had just finished a joke, making his girlfriend laugh and jiggle, while he slyly eyed her bouncing assets.

Feeling uncomfortable, Xu Anlin huffed and walked quickly to the trio, ignoring the green leaf that fell on his head.

***

Meanwhile, at a Zhao family company in S City,

Zhao Dong breathed a sigh of relief, having finally moved from an ordinary employee to management.

Although it was just a small department, it represented his stepmother’s recognition of his abilities, his first step toward becoming chairman of Zhao Group!

No more grueling work for him!

When he first started, his colleagues didn’t know his identity, and his superiors were instructed to “sharpen” him.

So, he experienced all the troubles of a regular worker—overtime, running errands, working weekends, being scolded by bosses, taking the blame, and having colleagues steal his credit.

He felt more exhausted than being a waiter!

Thankfully, his stepmother was just testing him and promoted him after a while.

Upon promotion, he dealt with the colleagues who often dumped blame on him, savoring the long-lost pleasure of showing off and face-slapping.

He then remembered Lin Qingzhi, who received his “surprise,” and decided to visit her in the hospital.

But she wasn’t there.

The doctor said she had been transferred. Zhao Dong had no choice but to go home.

He had no free time now.

His stepmother, to train him, gave him a department to manage but required him to handle issues from three or four departments.

And every proposal he submitted was critiqued and sent back for revision.

Endlessly harassed, Zhao Dong swore to treat his bald superior the same way when he became chairman.

He often wanted to beat up his bald superior but, seeing the real approver was “Zhu Nan,” he could only curse secretly and respond—

“Got it!”

“Boss, rest assured; you know me!”

“Any instructions, just tell me.”

“Sure thing, I’ll get it done!”
