The Fake Young Master Ran Away and Became a True Heir to a Wealthy Family

One careless moment, and he transmigrated into a melodramatic novel.

Chen Zhou discovered that his original self was an illegitimate son who had foolishly dreamed of inheriting the legitimate family's business.

His scumbag of a father dangled empty promises and treated him like a workhorse. In the novel, the original Chen Zhou was nothing more than a cannon fodder meant to clear the way for the legitimate son. The first wife brushed him aside, and he ended up in prison.

When Chen Zhou opened his eyes, he saw his scumbag father making promises: "I'm very disappointed in your brother. If you join the company, I'll make sure you get the best training. In a few years, you can become a professional manager, and the whole group will be yours to run."

It wasn't until that day that the original Chen Zhou learned he was an illegitimate son.

In the story, this was the turning point that changed his life. From then on, he would harbor wild ambitions and go to the group to build a bright future for himself...

In reality, he would only work himself to the bone, then take the fall for a huge scandal in a lawsuit, earning himself a pair of silver bracelets and a prison sentence before making a tearful exit.

Chen Zhou didn't want to be an illegitimate son, and he knew he couldn't beat the legitimate family. So, while his father was far away and out of reach, he quickly packed his bags and ran.

His scumbag father had been waiting smugly for his younger son, fresh from studying at a prestigious university overseas, to help him retake control of the group. But when he turned around, the boy was gone.

Penniless, Chen Zhou ran into a handsome stranger on a street across the ocean. After downing two glasses of strong liquor, he poured out all his troubles.

After one wild night, the stranger had vanished by the time Chen Zhou sobered up. He hadn't even left a phone number, only a check tucked into Chen Zhou's pocket, signed Charles + He.

There was enough money on it to buy dozens of transoceanic plane tickets.

Years later, at an extremely high-end banquet, Chen Zhou saw the kindhearted man who had once lent him money for a plane ticket. As it turned out, he was a powerful, untouchable big shot in X City, a guest of honor among the people who held real power.

In a secluded corner, He Sibo asked at an unhurried pace, "How do you plan to repay me for helping you escape that kidnapping?"

Only then did Chen Zhou learn that when he had been kidnapped not long ago, someone had made a single phone call and mobilized resources far beyond what his status could command to find him. It had been He Sibo's doing.

After someone poisoned Chen Zhou at the banquet, he huddled in a corner, burning up all over. He lifted his eyes and said softly, "I'm sure you wouldn't care for the little I own. It's not as if I can sell myself to you, right?"

He hadn't expected He Sibo to smile faintly at that. Walking over, he seized the heavy floor-length curtains and drew them around them both. "All right."
