Zhuang Li almost laughed angrily at this shameless mother and son.
He had just checked the life of the original owner, so he naturally knew how hard a life the other person had lived.
When she was young, Zhu Miaomiao was raised like a canary by Gong Xuanlin, and she had long become accustomed to a luxurious life. After marrying the original owner, it was difficult for her to change some of her bad habits. She always spent a lot of money on brand-name clothes and jewelry every month. The original owner’s salary was not enough for her to spend, so she applied for a credit card and went shopping frantically. When the credit card debt expired, she threw the bill at the original owner and that was it.
In order to help her repay the money, the original owner had to take private jobs outside. In addition to going to work every day, he had to work overtime until late at night after coming back, so he could barely survive.
He died suddenly late at night because of the mother and son.
Now that this body belonged to him, Zhuang Li would certainly not indulge the mother and son as infinitely as the original owner did. He turned his head and looked at himself in the mirror, who was pale and thin; then he turned back and looked at Zhu Miaomiao who was well maintained and Zhu Jianrui who was strong and healthy, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised into a nasty curve.
He stretched out his hand, scooped out the jar of moisturizing lotion that was said to be very expensive, and then smeared a lump of thick white paste on the palm of his cheap son’s hand.
“Here, take it. Your mother said it’s worth twenty thousand dollars.”
Under the disbelieving looks of Zhu Miaomiao and Zhu Jianrui, he threw the half-empty jar into the toilet and flushed it. After that, he walked to the sink and washed his hands slowly. His lips were so red that they made his white transparent cheeks look particularly evil.
It took a full ten seconds for Zhu Miaomiao and her son to recover from their surprise.
“Zhuang Li, are you crazy! When we got married, you said you would take good care of me and never let me be wronged for the rest of your life, but you did this to me? You bastard!” Zhu Miaomiao hit Zhuang Li’s back with her fist, crying so hard.
Although Zhu Jianrui was also very angry, he was even more disgusted by the white stuff, so he hurried to the kitchen to wash his hands. He felt that there was no need to quarrel with a small person like Zhuang Li, as that would be too cheap. Anyway, as long as his mother cried, it would not take long for the other party to kneel down and admit his mistakes to the mother and son.
The faucet was buzzing, and the crying behind him could be heard intermittently, which made Zhuang Li very annoyed. It had never been so disturbing even when 7480 was blasting noise in his head.
“Okay, stop arguing,” Zhuang Li picked up a towel and wiped his hands carefully, his tone extremely cold: “I have raised a son for others for more than ten years in vain. Did I say anything?”
Zhu Miaomiao seemed to have grasped a huge handle, and her voice suddenly rose: “You are starting to blame me now, right? Were you unwilling? Then why didn’t you tell me earlier when we were getting married? If you had told me earlier that you didn’t want to help me raise my child, I won’t have married you!”
Her anger was real and not an excuse, because she felt that if she had not married the original owner back then, she would be able to marry Gong Xuanlin openly now, instead of being as secretive and unclear with him as she was now. It was all the original owner who delayed her youth.
If she was careful enough, she would have found that today’s Zhuang Li was different from ever before, like a dusty pearl washed in dew, particularly dazzling. His face was still as pale as before, but his bloody red lips and dark eyes made him appear strangely charming.
At this moment, Zhuang Li was looking at Zhu Miaomiao with cold eyes, as if he was getting to know her again. Finally, he pushed her away without mercy and went to work.
He looked very calm on the surface, but inside he was overwhelmed: “I have never seen such an idiot like the original owner!” He pressed the down button of the elevator hard, and all the blood on his fingertips was forced back.
7480 felt his violently changing brain waves, and finally smiled happily: “Master, I don’t understand what you are talking about.” Hahaha, you green-headed turtle, are you feeling good now?
“He actually knew that Zhu Jianrui was not his biological child, but he willingly raised the mother and son for fourteen years. I don’t understand what he was thinking!” Zhuang Li walked into the elevator and kept rubbing his eyebrows.
He had always known that some humans had a spirit of sacrifice and dedication, such as his former compatriots and Xuan Ming. However, the sacrifices of those people were worthwhile and of great significance. They exchanged their deaths for a better tomorrow.
But what did the original owner get in return for his sacrifice? Did the two people he protected under his wings thank him for even a second? Was it too hard to bear for them to leave him for even one second? For one second, did they really and truly think, “I have to repay him”?
No, they took the sacrifice and dedication of the original owner for granted, and once the original owner showed even the slightest dissatisfaction, they would feel that he was hypocritical, selfish, and heartless.
They sucked the blood of the original owner for so long that they even felt a sense of superiority!
Zhuang Li raised his head and smiled pityingly and evilly at the thin man reflected in the elevator door. He must clean up these two garbage items for the original owner, otherwise life would not be wonderful.
After thinking about it, Zhuang Li took the subway and rushed to the company to start his day’s work.
He was not doing it for the dead wages, but because he wanted to use his identity as the original owner to understand the basic rules of the world. Later, he would think about what he could do. It was inevitable to continue scientific research, but first he had to find a generous sponsor like Xuan Ming.
Zhuang Li unconsciously fell into his memories, and his mind was completely occupied by Xuan Ming’s face with deep outlines. When he came back to his senses, lunch break time had arrived, and the delivery boy distributed the lunch boxes ordered by the company to everyone’s seats one by one.
This was an entertainment company called MIK. Because the big boss was very visionary, several movies and TV series he invested in had become hits, and the turnover was growing rapidly. He believed that in the near future, MIK may become a leader in this industry.
The original owner was a veteran of the company and had been with the company since its inception for eight years now. Most old people like him had climbed up to the position of senior executives. Only he was honest, did not know how to flatter and compete for credit, and was thus still a small administrator in the network operations department.
He was said to be an administrator, but in fact he was just a repairman. If computers in other departments were broken, the network was disconnected, or equipment had problems, they would come to this department, and employees in the same department would push the heaviest work to the original owner. Over time, when people in the company saw the original owner, they would call him “computer repairman” and had actually forgotten his real name.
The original owner had no enterprising spirit and just wanted to support his wife and child, and he was thus very satisfied with the current situation.
But Zhuang Li was different. He was born with a stubborn streak and did not want to be restrained by anyone. His super high IQ also cultivated a transcendent arrogance, so he required himself to do everything to the extreme.
