Chapter 3

He took a deep breath to calm his mood, then looked at Chen Fu with a serious face and said, "Dad, do you believe in reincarnation?"

"Hmm?"

Hearing his son's words, Chen Fu turned his head and looked at Chen Mo with a strange expression.

Looking at Chen Fu's eyes, Chen Mo thought Chen Fu didn't understand, so he changed to another word: "Do you believe in fate?"

As soon as the words fell... Chen Mo saw Chen Fu's palm showing signs of being raised again.

Chen Mo jumped off the sofa without hesitation and ran toward the bedroom without looking back.

He couldn't talk anymore; if he kept talking, he would definitely get beaten.

"You little brat..."

Chen Fu sat on the sofa, watching Chen Mo run away, muttering to himself, then turned his gaze back to the TV screen.

On the other side...

After Chen Mo returned to his bedroom, he lay directly on the bed...

Looking at the ceiling, Chen Mo sighed helplessly.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for having your bottom receive a loving beating, unlocking the 'Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child' achievement, rewarding one system lucky draw opportunity.]

At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Chen Mo's mind.

Hearing the sound, Chen Mo's originally depressed mood felt much better instantly.

With a thought...

"Start the lucky draw."

[Ding! Lucky draw successful, congratulations to the host for obtaining a 500-yuan cash reward; the cash has been deposited into the system backpack.]

Hearing the system's reward notification, Chen Mo sat up straight instantly.

Five hundred yuan!

At this moment, a bold idea appeared in Chen Mo's mind!

Ten minutes later...

The sound of his mother calling for dinner came from outside.

Hearing the sound, Chen Mo opened the bedroom door and came to the living room.

In the living room, Chen Fu was currently holding a bottle of beer, drinking while watching the World Cup, while Chen Mu was using Chen Mo's exclusive little bowl and chopsticks to serve him rice.

"Come and sit."

Chen Mu greeted him.

Chen Mo said "Oh," then walked obediently to the dining table, climbed onto his chair, and sat down honestly.

After he sat down, Chen Mu began to feed Chen Mo with a spoon.

"Mom, I'll eat by myself..."

Chen Mo refused the feeding, reached out to take the spoon, and then began to eat big mouthfuls by himself.

Watching Chen Mo's actions, Chen Mu was stunned for a moment, looking at her son with doubt in her eyes.

A child of only four years old, although he had started kindergarten, was usually fed by her; why did he take the initiative to eat by himself today?

Had he become sensible?

Or had he committed some mistake again?

Chen Mu began to ponder in her heart.

Chen Mo didn't notice his mother's gaze; after he finished his meal, he got down from the chair and ran toward the bedroom.

Arriving at the bedroom door, Chen Mo secretly glanced toward the living room, and after confirming that his father and mother hadn't noticed him, he walked to the door of his parents' bedroom.

He opened the bedroom door and walked in.

After finding his father's ID card, Chen Mo quietly returned to his bedroom.

Lying on the bed...

Chen Mo's youthful face now wore a complex expression that only an adult would have.

In his mind, he couldn't help but recall some things from his past life.

In his past life, in 1992, when he was six, Chen Fu heard the word "Internet" from a close friend, and after researching it for a while, he made a decision, and later the family of three went to Los Angeles.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Chen Fu started doing Internet business...

From 1992 to the millennium, in eight years, Chen Fu grew the business very large.

At that time, his net worth even exceeded ten million US dollars.

But with the bursting of the Internet economic bubble after the millennium, his ten-million-dollar net worth evaporated overnight, and he also owed the bank a large sum of money; the family of three fell from heaven to the bottom of the valley...

From then on, his father began to be unable to recover...

And he also changed his personality and began to truly mature.

Later, the family moved to the suburbs; his father found a job at a gas station, his mother worked at a restaurant, and he dropped out of school to start working in society.

During those dozen years, Chen Mo worked up to three jobs a day.

Finally, before crossing over, Chen Mo had paid off all his external debts and then went to Las Vegas to relax, but he didn't expect an accident to happen.

To sum it up...

His memories of his past life were all spent working and paying off debts...

So this was why Chen Mo was so desperate to make his first pot of gold!

Poor!

He was truly afraid of being poor!

Chen Mo would rather take risks than wait another dozen years to make something of himself after he grew up!

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, Chen Mo finished his breakfast, refused his parents' escort, and left home directly.

Because the kindergarten was inside the compound, and coupled with Chen Mo's "even a dog would hate him" personality, Chen Fu and Chen Mu were at ease with Chen Mo going to kindergarten alone.

After leaving the house, he soon went downstairs...

Standing at the entrance of the building, Chen Mo looked up at his window, then walked toward the outside of the compound.

Five minutes later...

Chen Mo arrived at the gate of the compound and happened to see a woman pulling a little girl in from outside the compound.

The little girl was none other than Yang Mi, whose skirt Chen Mo had lifted yesterday.

Yang Mi lived in a compound opposite Chen Mo's, and she had to cross the road to go to kindergarten every day, so she needed an adult to pick her up.

"Hmph..."

Yang Mi saw Chen Mo at this moment; she was still angry about this guy lifting her skirt yesterday, so after seeing Chen Mo, she snorted directly and then turned her head away.

To this, Chen Mo just smiled, then he raised his hand and waved his little hand at Yang Mi before running out of the compound.

Seeing Chen Mo run out of the compound, Yang Mi's mouth opened slightly.

The outside was very dangerous; since she was little, her mother had told her there were many child-snatchers outside, and there were so many cars; wasn't Chen Mo afraid of running out alone?

Yang Mi thought in her heart...

"What's wrong, Mi Mi?"

Yang Mu lowered her head at this time, and after seeing Yang Mi's expression, she asked with doubt.

"I... no... nothing..."

Yang Mi shook her head.

"Hmm, let's go quickly, class is about to start."

Yang Mu said, pulling Yang Mi toward the inside.

Half an hour later.

The kindergarten class bell rang, and the teacher walked in from outside.

After coming in, the teacher looked at the children playing in the classroom, silently counting the number of people.

"Eh, why is one missing?"

A look of doubt appeared on the teacher's face, then she looked carefully again and found that Chen Mo hadn't come to school.
