Chapter 275 Dark Awakening
After He Jinming left, Jiang Yixuan sat alone in the hallway for a long time.

The phone fell to the ground when it was hit, and a crack appeared on the screen, but it wasn't broken and could still see a new message received on the phone.

The Jin family has been unable to contact him and has unilaterally announced the termination of the marriage alliance between the two families. They have also issued a statement that they will not stop their attacks on the Jiang family until Jiang Yixuan personally steps forward to publicly apologize to the Jin family and provide compensation.

The Jin family will no longer form a marriage alliance with the Jiang family, but they are still unwilling to let go of the two core projects they initially set their sights on. Now they want Jiang Yixuan to compensate them so that they can participate again.

Jiang Yixuan laughed while holding his phone. He Jinming said he had no shame, but in these top-tier wealthy business circles, who really cares about their reputation?
His two biggest supporters, the Jin and He families, broke ties with him. Business partners who usually worked with him for profit all backed away and canceled all cooperation with the Jiang family overnight. Even his former mentors who admired him and wanted to promote him took to social media to say that they had misjudged him.

The Jiang family is now truly hated by everyone and has enemies everywhere.

Jiang Yixuan leaned against the wall next to the trash can, forgetting even the pain on his face, his eyes vacant and lost in confusion.

Is he really wrong?

But where did he go wrong?
Bringing He Jinming into the team and arranging a marriage alliance with the Jin family—he didn't do anything wrong; in fact, it could be said to be the best arrangement at the moment. The only slight mistake might be sending Lin Rou'er to He Jinming's side, but that was because He Jinming shamelessly took a liking to Lin Rou'er first; he was just going with the flow! Moreover, if Lin Rou'er handles things properly, He Jinming won't gain any advantage at all!
If anyone's to blame, it's probably because he was too hasty. He slept with Lin Rou'er before things were even settled. But he was drunk at the time, and it wasn't his intention. Nobody could have imagined that Lin Rou'er would get pregnant that one time. And to make matters worse, she lost the pregnancy, especially in such an important setting.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a bit resentful towards Lin Rou'er.

If she was destined to miscarry, why couldn't it have happened sooner or later? Why did it have to happen at his and Jin Qian's engagement party, and then she had to say that the child was his?
Suddenly, Jiang Yixuan felt as if a transparent thread had been grasped in his mind, and following that thread, many confused and unclear things were brought out.

Lin Rou'er was originally with He Jinming at the banquet, so why did he see her with Jin Qian when he arrived? What happened before that?
Before that, he had asked Lin Rou'er to come and comfort her, but he couldn't go. Could it be that Ye Xi was behind this?
Thinking of Ye Xi, he couldn't help but recall a comment he had just seen: "Isn't this Young Master Jiang a little strange? Every time he gets engaged, something goes wrong, and in the end, the engagement never goes through."

Yes, his first engagement was with Ye Xi, but it didn't go through because...
The more he thought about it, the clearer he realized that Lin Rou'er, whom he had always carefully protected like a parasitic vine, might not be as simple as he saw her.

She may genuinely love him, and he could sense it, but that didn't stop her from doing all sorts of things to hurt him in the name of love.

Rou'er, Lin Rou'er, hahaha.
The lines in his mind became clearer and clearer, but the world in his eyes grew darker and darker. He was in a daze, with light and darkness intertwined, as if heaven and earth had merged together. Everywhere there were indistinct black shadows and clouds that enveloped Jiang Yixuan, yet he could not touch them. He felt as if his throat was being choked, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to breathe.

Neither the beatings from He Jinming nor the attacks from the Jin family had driven him to such despair. Power and status, once they rise, must fall; though he had lost, he was not yet in dire straits.

Although he was wrong, he also did the right thing; at least he protected the woman he loved most.

Although some people hate him, others love him.

But now, for the first time, Jiang Yixuan felt so ridiculous.

He had always been indifferent to other people's insults and curses, but he never expected that this time, He Jinming's curse would come true so quickly.

Jiang Yixuan no longer sat idly by and waited for his death. He leaned against the wall and slowly got up, walking towards the hospital's surgical department while trying to call out to the system.

"System, are you still there?"

The system, which used to be readily available, took a long time to come online today. Jiang Yixuan mentally communicated with the system while the nurse applied his medication.

"You once said I was the chosen one of this world, destined to achieve unparalleled success and rise to a position admired by all. Now? Can I still turn things around?" The system stammered, its voice like a faulty electrical connection: "Yes, yes, host, the chosen one does indeed receive the favor of a world. But...luck isn't permanent. It actively seeks out those with the potential and ability to influence the world. If...if the person it initially chose fails to meet its expectations, it will flow to someone else."

Jiang Yixuan angrily slammed his fist on the table, startling the nurse who was applying the medicine.

"What do you mean? I'm not the chosen one anymore? Then who is?"

The system quickly waved its hand: "No, no, no, you are still, but..."

However, the person will be replaced soon, and Jiang Yixuan understood even though it wasn't said in the second half of the sentence.

"So what? Even you're going to betray me?"

Although it was a thought, the tone was somber and frightening that the system felt inexplicably scared.

"No, changing the chosen one of destiny is a huge event that will have a huge impact on the entire world. It's not just about the chosen one of destiny, but also about the fate of those around him and the direction of major events. It's a very complicated process, so unless absolutely necessary, a world will not easily change its chosen one of destiny. As long as the chosen one of destiny hasn't truly changed, you still have a chance."

Jiang Yixuan calmed down a bit: "Then what should I do?"

"Rise again as quickly as possible, reshuffle the world, and reclaim our destiny!"

Jiang Yixuan remained silent for a long time, so long that the system was about to log off. He suddenly asked, "Who has the strongest luck right now?"

He gave a strange smile and then asked, "Is this Fu Linchuan?"

The system paused for a moment before replying, "Yes."

It's not hard to guess.

The nurse had finished applying all the medicine and also bandaged the back of his hand.

Jiang Yixuan stood up, stretched his wrists, and his face was surprisingly calm, just like He Jinming's in the morning.

"Is it related to Ye Xi? I remember you said that she initially came to help me, right?"

The system sensed that this frightening aura was rapidly escalating beneath Jiang Yixuan's calm surface, and stammered, "Yes."

“How interesting,” Jiang Yixuan said as he walked out of the surgical clinic with an unprecedented ease.

"So, why did she deviate from the right path?"
