Special news flash: Half an hour ago, Mr. Ye Chen, Chairman of Tenglong Group, passed away due to illness at the age of eighty-nine! Mr. Ye Chen had no wife or children and left a will before his death, donating all of his four hundred billion in wealth to charitable organizations...
----
"Hmm?"
In a simple two-bedroom, one-living room rental house.
Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes.
"Where is this?"
As Ye Chen exclaimed in surprise.
He subconsciously scanned his surroundings.
A living room less than fifteen square meters.
Cheap wine bottles and cigarette butts were scattered everywhere.
Instant noodle boxes emitting foul odors mixed with the smell of smoke and alcohol.
Filthy and messy, more like a dog's den than a dog's den!
"Isn't this the rental house I lived in sixty years ago?"
Everything familiar awakened the painful memories that had lingered with Ye Chen for the past sixty years.
Instinctively, remembering the sounds of crying by his deathbed, he thought this was his soul returning to the scene of his life sixty years ago after death.
But before he could think further.
"Clang!"
The door of the rental house was pushed open from the outside.
"Papa!"
A tender, clear child's voice rang out.
A little girl of four or five years old ran in gleefully from outside the door.
Completely ignoring the dirtiness and foul smell inside the house.
Even more so, ignoring his unkempt and messy appearance.
She directly rushed to his side and tightly hugged his thigh.
"Waaah, Papa, Youyou misses you a lot! Can you please stop fighting with Mom in the future, okay, and don't let Mom take Youyou to Grandma's house, okay?"
Youyou!
In an instant.
Ye Chen felt as if struck by lightning.
Feeling the warmth of his daughter hugging his thigh.
Feeling the tears of his daughter Youyou wetting his pants.
Ye Chen's mind went blank.
This wasn't a soul's regression?
But a rebirth back to sixty years ago?
"Youyou, come back!"
An angry shout interrupted Ye Chen's thoughts.
A woman wearing a dress, with a good appearance and intellectual temperament, but exuding a sense of listlessness and exhaustion all over, entered Ye Chen's sight.
Chen Yinuo!
The woman he had dreamt of countless times and cried himself awake from countless times over the past sixty years.
In his previous life, he lived to be eighty-nine, but felt guilty for a full sixty years.
If it hadn't been for his bastardly behavior.
His wife Chen Yinuo and daughter Ye Youyou wouldn't have died.
It was him, he single-handedly destroyed his family and also caused his wife and daughter to die with resentment!
What was even more bastardly was that even after his wife died back then, he still hated his wife's betrayal, hating that his wife Chen Yinuo dragged their daughter to die with her.
It wasn't until half a year later, after learning the whole truth.
That he visited his wife's grave for the first time to pay respects.
That time, he cried for three days and three nights straight.
He didn't eat a grain of rice or drink a drop of water.
If it weren't for the cemetery patrol discovering him in the end, he probably would have joined his wife and daughter in the underworld back then.
However, what he didn't expect was.
Heaven actually gave him an incredible opportunity.
Allowing him to be reborn back to sixty years ago!
"Yi, Yinuo!"
Looking at Chen Yinuo, whom he had dreamt of countless times over the past sixty years, whose voice, appearance, smile, and demeanor had accompanied him for a full sixty years.
Ye Chen choked up, his voice becoming hoarse.
"Ye Chen, how exactly do you plan to torment our mother and daughter before you'll stop!"
Looking at the house that she had cleaned spotlessly five days ago turning into a nightmarish scene again.
Chen Yinuo shouted in collapse.
Saying this, she walked over and pulled Ye Youyou back to her side.
"Ye Chen, I beg you, I beg you to agree to sign the divorce papers, okay? I've had enough, I'll go crazy if this continues, I really will go crazy, I already need sleeping pills to fall asleep now, please just be merciful and sign the divorce papers, consider it letting our mother and daughter go, okay!"
Composing herself, Chen Yinuo half-raised her hands, shaking her head, trying her best to accept the messy and dirty scene before her that felt as if she had long become accustomed to it, speaking in an almost pleading tone.
She once thought she had found her true love, the person she could entrust her life to.
For this, she disregarded her family's opposition.
Giving up those rich and handsome suitors with excellent conditions.
Resolutely chose Ye Chen, because she believed Ye Chen would create a beautiful life built together with her.
It was also because of her choice that she broke ties with her family, only mending the relationship with her maternal family after Ye Youyou was born.
However, what she never expected was that the true love she chose changed drastically in temperament after a failed business venture, becoming an alcoholic and gambler, becoming unmotivated, becoming content with being a slacker, and even turning into a violent maniac who would punch and kick her at the slightest displeasure!
Chen Yinuo had given him countless chances, wanting to reawaken his life and spirit.
But what she got in return was an escalation after his repentance.
That top student from back then had become an incurable good-for-nothing and a devil!
Everything in the house that could be sold was taken by him and sold cheaply for gambling money.
He was just short of selling her and their daughter Ye Youyou.
And the crisscrossing new and old scars under her clothes were all inflicted by his brutal and merciless beatings.
In Chen Yinuo's eyes, this so-called Husband had long since become a devil, her nightmare.
"Yinuo, I, I know I've wronged you and our daughter, I don't dare to hope you can forgive me in just a few words, give me a chance, I'll change, I'll change, okay!"
Ye Chen's voice trembled.
"You'll change? What will you use to change? How will you change? Can a dog change its habit of eating shit? It can't, it never will! Have you told me things like this less than a hundred times? But after which time did you not get worse? Enough, I've had enough!"
They say the greatest sorrow is the death of the heart.
Chen Yinuo, whose heart had long since died completely, calmed down.
She shook her head and sneered without any emotion.
As soon as her words fell.
Thump thump thump-!
Dense footsteps suddenly sounded from the stairwell.
Immediately after.
A dozen or so tattooed men, clearly not good people at first glance, crowded into this narrow rental house.
The man leading them smiled playfully.
"Oh, look at that, the whole family's together!"
