Before I Make It, I’ll Pretend to Be Down on My Luck and See Their True Colors!

Reborn before passing the civil service exam, Chen Fan decided to pretend he was down on his luck.

He never expected to see his relatives for who they really were!

Chen Fan: "Second Uncle, I'm buying a house and getting married. Can my cousin pay back the money my dad lent him for a house back then?"

Chen Jin: "What do you mean, lent? That was an elder helping a younger relative get married. It wasn't a loan!"

Chen Fan: "Then why don't you help me get married, too?"

Chen Jin: "Neighbors, come and see! This ungrateful Chen Fan is actually asking me for a house! I'm so unlucky to have relatives like him!"

The relatives all began pointing fingers at Chen Fan.

"Apologize, or I'm disowning you!"

The relatives' contempt for the poor and fawning over the rich left Chen Fan utterly disappointed.

"Fine. Then let's cut ties right here!"

Chen Fan, free of any misgivings,

first passed the civil service exam, then cut ties with his family and friends!
