Blurb:
Cen Leyi grows up as the young master of a very rich family, never wanting for food or anything else.
When he's five, his family discovers that he's not their biological child and sends him back to his birth parents.
His birth family is poor, and Cen Leyi can't get used to his unfamiliar surroundings. He cries all day and keeps hoping his adoptive parents will come and take him back, but they never do.
Little Cen Leyi gives up on his adoptive parents. He grows quiet, worrying his whole family to death. His biological father curses his adoptive parents and swears he'll work hard to make a fortune, then throw all the money in their faces.
So Cen Leyi grows up with the life of an ordinary family. Luckily, he has a neighbor boy, Duan Yujing.
Duan Yujing is steady and quiet, but whenever Cen Leyi gets frustrated and takes his temper out on him, Duan Yujing just coaxes him.
Whatever he wants or feels like eating, Duan Yujing will do anything to get it for him.
Cen Leyi is hard to raise, picky about food, and often gets sick. Sometimes he worries aloud to Duan Yujing:
"Our family is poor, and so is yours. I don't know if I'll even grow up safely."
"My grades are average. I don't even know if I'll get into college. I'll probably end up collecting junk for a living."
"Once you get into college and become a white-collar worker, you'll look down on a poor guy like me who has no education or money."
Duan Yujing starts to say something, then stops.
While Cen Leyi is worrying about how to ease the burden on his family, he notices that something is off at home.
His usually stingy father suddenly gives him a bank card and tells him to spend whatever he wants.
His mother, who always taught him to be thrifty, buys a wardrobe full of the latest designer clothes for him to change into.
His older brother, who won't even spend money on a cigarette, suddenly throws him a vase to smash. Later, Cen Leyi finds out that the vase is worth several hundred million!
And his childhood friend, who is just as poor as he is, actually has assets worth tens of billions and spends all day letting Cen Leyi take his temper out on him.
Cen Leyi is completely bewildered. He asks his parents and older brother, "Aren't we really poor?"
His parents and brother answer in unison: "Of course we're poor! We only have this little money. It's not even enough for our darling to throw away while spending it!"

The next book will be The Cat's Here to Repay Your Kindness, a reborn childhood-friends story about raising a child. Please add it to your want-to-read list!
Mrs. Xia has been plagued by bad luck in recent years. The cat she raised for years has passed away of old age, her husband has been unconscious since a car accident, and her newborn baby was taken by human traffickers. The family is buried in debt from paying for her husband's treatment and can barely make ends meet. When she asks her relatives for help, they drive her away. She's on the verge of a breakdown and can hardly go on.
Just as Mrs. Xia is about to swallow pills and kill herself, a three-year-old child arrives at the Xia family's doorstep.
The little one is adorable, with a few injuries on his body. In a daze, Mrs. Xia seems to see the child she has spent years searching for. Fighting back her sorrow, she asks if he's lost.
The little one hugs Mrs. Xia's leg and rubs against it, speaking in a babyish voice. "This kitty finally found you!" He strolls into the house like he owns the place.
Mrs. Xia tries to stop him, but takes pity on him and gives him something to eat. She even bathes him and changes his clothes, planning to find his parents for him.
But the moment the little one hears that she's going to send him away, he gets furious. Tears stream down his face, but he can't make a sound as he cries. He shouts, "Kitty's been looking for you for so long! You can't give me to someone else!" His angry expression looks just like the little cat Mrs. Xia used to raise.
Later, Mrs. Xia discovers that ever since the little one came to live with them, her husband has woken up, their business has grown bigger and bigger, and the relatives who used to look down on them are now scrambling to curry favor with them. This little one is none other than the son they have searched for all these years, and their family's lucky star!
But some things are strange too. The little one loves eating fish, hisses when he gets angry, says "this kitty" all the time, and doesn't like being held. His personality is remarkably like that of the cat who passed away.
In his previous life, Ying Li was a little cat raised by Mrs. Xia. He was seriously injured when she brought him home.
Later, Ying Li went to Cat Planet. He should have enjoyed a happy life there, but from above, he saw the Xia family being framed and Mrs. Xia losing the will to live and preparing to kill herself. He was frantic. At long last, he got the chance to be reborn, only to discover that he had become a human child.
Ying Li climbed mountains and crossed rivers, finally finding Mrs. Xia. Happily, he rubbed against her leg, planning to rest for a while. He never expected Mrs. Xia to try to chase him away. He was angry and heartbroken, and he hissed at her. "Kitty came to repay your kindness! You saved me, so I should be the one to repay you! This kitty brings wealth and good luck!"

But Ying Li is aloof and turns away without responding. Young Master Fu thinks he doesn't like it, so he immediately lays out every toy in his room for Ying Li to choose from, trying to win him over.
Later, the once-arrogant Fu Hechuan becomes Ying Li's little sidekick. Everyone knows that picking on Ying Li means picking a fight with him. He protects Ying Li as if he were his own eyes.

"Cen Leyi lowered his head and waved the news about Cen Yan." Catch a big bug for the author~
Back?
Why Zhang Fei and Xiang Yu [laughing and crying] [dog head]
This little baby Lele is very brave [Milk Tea]
What is this jade pendant? (I looked at it too quickly and didn't pay attention)
I always feel uncomfortable looking at his two friends. Don't you know that the protagonist is not interested in Lin Han? Why did he bring her out without notifying him? To be honest, it's very embarrassing and he doesn't care about the protagonist's feelings. .

"But Cen Leyi didn't accept it." This is a big bug for the author~
Is there something wrong here?
