Period: Catching an Affair, Heading to the City, Getting Rich, and Finding My Father

[Reborn in the 1980s + No System + Family Life + Building a Fortune + Woman Pursues Man + Scumbag Man and Vile Woman]

Li Jianshan once thought that if he gave someone his whole heart, even a stone could be warmed.

Only later did he understand that bloodsuckers will only ever complain that there's not enough blood.

Li Jianshan was adopted by the Li family when he was three. Everyone told him, "You should be grateful."

So he carved those words into his bones and lived as the Li family's human blood bag.

He gave his demobilization allowance to his eldest brother for his wedding.

He gave up his permanent job to his eldest brother.

When his brother lost his job, Li Jianshan supported him. When his brother bought a house, Li Jianshan paid for it.

He paid his brother's daughter's school fees.

He supported the two elders, while his eldest brother never lifted a finger.

He thought that if he kept yielding, he'd earn the word "family." But at fifty, he caught his wife having an affair with his eldest brother.

Even more absurdly, the two sons he'd cherished for half his life were his brother's bastards.

In the end, that pair of adulterers joined forces to kill him.

In his final moments, Li Jianshan finally understood:

The Li family had never considered him one of their own. To them, he was only a blood bag, free labor, and a sucker to use and discard at will.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back at twenty-two.

In this life, he would no longer feel grateful or back down.

He set a trap to expose the affair between those two to the world, tearing apart the Li family's false respectability.

From then on, he cut off all ties and swore off love. All he wanted was to make money.

But he couldn't fend off the many people pursuing him.

He couldn't keep up.

He really couldn't keep up.

Until one day, an old man who looked like a senior officer stood before him, tears in his eyes, and asked:

"Son, are you my little Shanzi?"

The place he'd called "home" for half his life had never been his home at all.

And his true origins had only just begun to come to light.
