Chapter 6

Chen Yang thought of his ex-wife Zhang Meili, who was also a gentle and beautiful woman like Zhong Lin.

At one time, when Chen Yang accompanied a client drinking and came home drunk, Zhang Meili also took care of him like that. That gentleness made him once overlook the fact that she had once been married. Even the three children she had with other men, he also took charge of.

He always thought Zhang Meili had just met bad people when she was young. He never expected that she was scheming against him together with Zhang Jun, Tang Kun, and Zhao Shunfa.

If it weren't for the existence of the law, Chen Yang would hate to send them to hell on the first day of his rebirth.

"Chen Yang, what's wrong?" Lin Wei saw Chen Yang come out of Chen Bing's house, his mood remained low, and she asked with a bit of concern.

Chen Yang could not share his past life's experiences with Lin Wei, so he only said he was fine.

Lin Wei was unhappy. "Your emotions are written on your face, what are you pretending? Could it be something unspeakable?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered a distant acquaintance."

"Female?"

Chen Yang nodded, and Lin Wei suddenly felt a bit displeased. Having such a great beauty by his side, Chen Yang actually thought of someone else in his heart!

Of course, Lin Wei actually didn't know why she felt this way. Clearly they were only nominally a fake couple, the other's love life had nothing to do with her, yet she just felt unhappy.

So, when Chen Yang offered to send her home, she firmly refused.

In the following days, they also had no contact. Lin Wei, besides being busy with student union affairs, also had to prepare to return to Qingshui for work after graduation. Chen Yang, besides reading newspapers, just hung out in internet cafes browsing various news.

In his previous life, as a working-class person he worked hard his whole life and got nothing in the end. This life, he plans to start his own business, taking fate into his own hands.

Of course, he also didn't forget to monitor the school's forum. Although Zhang Jun had people delete his posts, the gossip about Tang Kun never stopped.

The gossip-mongers completely opened their imaginations, one moment saying Tang Kun solicited a minor, the next saying he solicited an eighty-year-old old lady, and then someone said he had relations with a trans person from Thailand.

Moreover, netizens who loved drama gave him the nickname "Wind and Moon Expert".

This made Tang Kun furious, he posted a dozen or so posts cursing those who made fun of him. Then he was successfully banned.

Chen Yang could imagine Tang Kun's current hysterical state. Even though this person had enlightened him in his previous life, he felt no sympathy for him at all.

After all, Tang Kun was also one of the behind-the-scenes masterminds of Chen Yang's previous life tragedy. If it weren't for a change in the Zhang family's business, he would still be that lackey who abets evil.

"Extra extra! A talent has emerged in Dongjiangsheng, one person alone won the World Cup sports lottery prize of ten million yuan!"

The previously calm forum instantly exploded.

"Sofa, this World Cup round is so cold, I got several matches wrong, who has such luck?"

"Floor, just talking about this year's World Cup brings bad luck. My beloved Italian male model team actually lost to Croatia."

"What's the big deal about Italy losing to the Croatia team? It's really hilarious that the German war machine can't even beat the Irish team."

"The German team won their first match, a draw also secured advancement, the funny part is the French team. As reigning champions, they only got one point in two matches! I really can't understand how they beat Brazil in 98..."

"It's fine, it's fine, the French team should be slow to warm up; with their overall strength, if they beat Denmark in the next round they can still advance."

"Damn, you still have the mind to care about other teams. Our national team has lost two straight, zero points, zero goals, truly embarrassing!"

"Upstairs, tell me something more heartbreaking. Next door's Korea and Japan are both going to advance."

"Damn, it's really true. They're all East Asian teams, why do they advance while we get eliminated? I think this Milu is just a charlatan!"

"I agree with the upstairs comment! That old guy only fools fans, has no tactics. What a waste of such a great batch of players, just ruined by him!"

"I say, can the two upstairs sober up? I also watched the match, our national team really can't compete with them."

"The upstairs viewpoint is more objective; we still need to recognize our own strength. My expectations aren't high either—I hope that in the final match against Turkey, our national team can score a goal, breaking the zero record first."

"If our national team can't score a goal, getting a point from Turkey would also satisfy me."

Seeing everyone suddenly discuss the World Cup, Chen Yang then remembered he had also bought a lottery ticket. After falling out with Zhang Jun and the others, his interest in football had waned. That ticket was still locked in his suitcase.

He opened Sina. com, checked the sports lottery results, and indeed there was no change from his previous life. Only the first prize amount had dropped from nearly 4 million to 500,000.

But in Chen Yang's case, fifty times 500,000 is a full 25 million. Even after deducting taxes, there would still be 20 million.

He struck it rich!

With excited feelings, Chen Yang returned to his rented inn. He first called the sports lottery center to reserve a prize claim time, then he covered himself with the blanket and shouted excitedly.

In his previous life, when life pressed him so he could barely breathe, he had also dreamed of winning a big prize. He had invested several thousand, at most winning ten bucks. He never expected that this dream would only be realized after his rebirth.

With this sum of money, Chen Yang's future goals became clear. He decided to invest in real estate!

In the next ten years, Xingcheng's real estate industry will usher in an unprecedented prosperous era.

In his previous life, Chen Yang was a house slave, long oppressed by mortgage payments to the point of breathlessness. He fully understood the importance of a home for a family.

Although Xingcheng's housing prices are not as astronomically high as those in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, after all it is also a provincial capital. Investing now, it will be completely effortless to multiply several times in the future.

Moreover, at this time there was no concept of school district housing. Chen Yang could fully utilize his foreknowledge to purchase a large number of school district properties, maximizing profits.

In addition, Chen Yang also wanted to acquire a few shops. His parents had died early, and since junior high he had been living with his aunt. His aunt had no job, and his uncle was merely an ordinary worker at the Qingshui City textile factory. To support his and his cousin's education, the couple set up street stalls day and night.

In his previous life, because of the burden of Zhang Meili's family, Chen Yang had few opportunities to repay this kindness. Now that he has money, what he most wants to do is buy a few shops for his aunt and uncle, so they no longer have to endure the hardship of wind and sun.

Besides that, he also wants to return to his hometown to repair his parents' graves. As for the old house and land that have been encroached upon, he also needs to find a way to reclaim them. No matter what, that place is ultimately the root of his Chen family.
