Reborn for the Second Time

First scene:

In a bar, a young man swirled his glass and looked toward his friend, seated in the shadows of a corner. “A Qi, did you rush back this time to help your little brother with his high school entrance exams?”

The person in the shadows sat up straight and clicked his tongue. “Why should I bother with that brat? Even if I’m going to help someone, it’ll be A Le. Have you found the high school materials I asked you to look for?”

Second scene:

An elderly woman sat on the sofa, glaring angrily at the elegant woman across from her. “Wan Jing is your niece. How could you scold her for the sake of an outsider?”

The elegant woman showed no reaction to her mother’s accusation. “A Le was the daughter and daughter-in-law I chose in my previous life. Who else should I protect if not her? Besides, everyone knows who was right and who was wrong.”

Third scene:

A young man looked at the list in his hands, confused. “Minister, why are we adding these two names? They’re only eighteen, and they weren’t even selected through the official tryouts. The others will protest.”

The middle-aged man gazed out the window, his eyes unfathomable. “Because they are the hope of our previous life.”
