He's Coming Home With Me!

Jiang Jing discovers overnight that he isn't really a member of the Jiang family. At the same time, his former CEO father, whose wife cheated on him, is too busy dealing with his own troubles to help. He packs his things and prepares to go to prison.

Jiang Jing goes from being the pampered young master everyone in the Jiang family fawned over to an unwanted orphan in an instant.

The next day, Jiang Jing is sent to a remote mountain village. The moment he gets out of the car, the yard is full of clucking chickens and quacking ducks, and the stench is so bad he can barely keep his eyes open.

Everyone thinks Jiang Jing has been cast in the role of a doomed rich-family extra. Only Jiang Jing knows he's been transferred to the rural farming and livestock channel.

So the fake young master's life story is really a makeover show. :)

A filthy little kid bounces out of the filthy yard. With eyes as bright as a wolf cub's, he stares at Jiang Jing, holding an unidentifiable lump in his hand.

The kid holds it out to Jiang Jing.

Jiang Jing recoils in disgust, close to breaking down.

"Is that poop?"

The little wolf cub pouts.

Pinching his nose, Jiang Jing changes tack. "Sorry, what is it?"

The little boy grins at him. "Moss."

My name is Lu Qingtai.

That was how they first met.

A year later, the Jiang family finally remembers that the fake young master they sent to the countryside might still be alive, and sends someone to see whether he's dead.

They find Jiang Jing under the village's huge banyan tree. He's dressed plainly, no longer in the world's finest luxury brands, but his back still carries an unmistakable air of refinement and elegance.

The Jiang family sighs. A child raised in a wealthy family is still a swan in adversity, and has nothing in common with an ugly duckling.

Meanwhile, the ugly duckling perched in the banyan tree clings to the trunk.

"I went out of my way to catch tadpoles for you. Don't I deserve a reward?"

Jiang Jing smiles. "Come down and I'll reward you."

The boy flips down in an impressively cool pose, rolls twice on the ground, pats his backside, and gets up. He holds out a hand to Jiang Jing.

"My reward?"

Jiang Jing narrows his eyes, grabs the sugarcane behind him, and whacks the boy with it.

"Here's your sugarcane reward! Lu Qingtai, don't you run!"

The boy springs away, and Jiang Jing chases him. The two run off into the distance.

"?"

The Jiang family blinks, but nothing about the scene changes.

.

Years later, the Rongcheng Jiang family has lost its pillar and its former glory, while a new Jiang family suddenly rises to prominence in high society.

At the end of the year, the Jiang family attends a business association gathering, weighed down by worries, and unexpectedly spots a familiar, refined profile.

Many people approach to toast him, all respectfully calling him Young Master Jiang.

The up-and-coming Jiang Group's successful young CEO is actually the fake young master they abandoned all those years ago!

A tall, handsome man is standing beside Jiang Jing. He spots them first. One arm wraps around Jiang Jing's strong, supple waist beneath his suit, as if staking his claim. With his other hand, he raises his glass to them, his eyes full of mockery.

Thanks for sending me your young master. He's coming home with me.
