The Hated Little One Gets a Double Compensation System

Ye Yanyan is the least loved child in the family.

His parents dote on his sensible older brother and adore his younger sister. Even the fake young master, who was switched with him at birth, is treated like a treasure.

The older brother, who is always warm and pleasant to outsiders, speaks to him only with cold contempt.

His thoughtful, sensible little sister cannot hide the disgust in her eyes whenever she looks at him.

Even the household servants treat him and the fake young master by completely different standards.

In his previous life, Ye Yanyan had made a fuss, fought for their affection, and tried to please them.

But when life and death hung in the balance during a car accident, he was still the first one they abandoned.

When he opened his eyes again, Ye Yanyan had returned to the year he was five, just after being brought back to his wealthy biological parents.

This time, Ye Yanyan was going to stop trying.

Who could have guessed what would happen next?

[Ding! A suitable Host has been detected. You have been bound to the Double Compensation System.]

[Are you still fretting over late food deliveries, merchants failing to ship on time, clients breaching contracts, or goods that don't match their descriptions?]

[Double compensation will solve all your troubles!]

-

Just as the System promised, from that day on, Ye Yanyan had nothing to worry about.

His older brother had promised to buy him the latest model kit, but on the day the gift arrived, it ended up in the fake young master's hands.

Where no one else could see, the fake young master looked at Ye Yanyan provocatively.

But Ye Yanyan was too busy feeling upset to react. The announcement in his mind rang louder and louder:

[Your older brother has breached his promise. Compensation will begin immediately!]

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have received double compensation for the model kit, worth 100,000 yuan!]

[The compensation has been deposited into the Host's personal account. The funds will be withdrawn from your older brother's account as stock-market losses!]

[Ding! Compensation has arrived!]

Ye Yanyan: "!"

-

Ye Yanyan's birthday was coming up, and his parents promised to take him on a vacation to an island that day.

On his birthday, Ye Yanyan waited until ten at night, but no one showed up.

Instead, the fake young master's travel diary was being shared in real time on his social media. Every post was visible only to Ye Yanyan, and every one was a taunt.

Yet Ye Yanyan didn't feel the slightest bit dejected.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have received 1,000,000 yuan in double compensation!]

[The compensation has been deposited into the Host's personal account. The funds will be withdrawn from your parents' accounts as project losses!]

[Ding! Compensation has arrived!]

Ye Yanyan held his phone, smiling brightly.

-

Thanks to one compensation payout after another, Ye Yanyan became a billionaire by the age of ten!

Meanwhile, the rest of his family...

Older brother: "Why do I keep losing money in the stock market lately...?"

Parents: "We can't afford to lose any more money! If this keeps up, the company will have to declare bankruptcy!"

Little sister: "I don't know what's going on, but I've been losing money nonstop lately..."

Even the fake young master noticed his wallet getting lighter, and no longer dared to spend freely.

But their steady losses showed no signs of stopping. In less than two years, his parents' companies had both declared bankruptcy.

They sold the mansion, and the whole family was forced to squeeze into a shabby little three-bedroom apartment.

On moving day, his parents told Ye Yanyan, "You're in junior high now. You can support yourself."

His older brother said, "You can't keep relying on the family. It's hard enough for us to support your younger siblings."

Even his little sister looked at Ye Yanyan with disdain. "Kick him out already. One less mouth to feed would make things so much easier for all of us!"

Ye Yanyan's lips curled into a faint smile. "Funny, I was thinking the same thing."

The next second, dozens of luxury cars came to a stop in front of Ye Yanyan.

A bodyguard in a suit considerately opened the car door for him. "Young master, please."

Only then did his family realize that the biological son they had always ignored was a billionaire!

They all regretted what they had done, but they no longer had the chance to see Ye Yanyan again.
