I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Grass.

forget about it.

The old man hasn't even really done anything to me yet, and I'm already fighting amongst myself.

That's so stupid.

forget about it.

The more I think about it, the more upset I get!
Su Cheng's mindset gradually stabilized.

Yes!

The old man knows what's going on, but doesn't know what's going on either.

He didn't do anything wrong.

He's really done nothing wrong, even though he's made a huge fuss about it.

It's all the Ma family's fault.

The old man thinks it's Su Cheng's fault, that he's the one with the problem.

Su Cheng has no reason to worry!

wrong.

It's not entirely the Ma family's fault.

The old man was the most wrong!

If he hadn't been exiled to Australia, would he have gotten into this mess?
He didn't even know Ma Ru or Ma Shuning!
So ultimately it's the old folks' fault!
dong dong dong.

There was a sudden knock on the door.

Su Cheng hesitated for a moment, then called out, "Who is it?"

"Brother Cheng, it's me."

Su Cheng got up to open the door for Zhang Yangwen.

Zhang Yangwen was carrying various sizes of boxes. He guessed that Su Cheng hadn't eaten yet, so he specially packed them up for Su Cheng to eat.

"Cheng-ge, you eat first. Manager Jiang will be here soon."

Su Cheng asked in confusion, "What's she doing here?"

"She said she wanted to check on you and ask you some work-related questions."

As Zhang Yangwen spoke, he helped Su Cheng open the packaging bags one by one.

Su Cheng looked at Zhang Yangwen.

The gloom that had weighed heavily on his brow from being burdened by debt had vanished, replaced by a sincere and grateful expression.

Zhang Yangwen really didn't know how to thank Su Cheng.

He also knew why Su Cheng had been taking leave these past few days.

It must be because they were too tired.

That's Texas Hold'em!

The calculations that drain your brain in minutes.

Su Cheng played all night long!

In Zhang Yangwen's memory, Su Cheng left home around 9 p.m. and didn't return until the early hours of the morning, then slept until evening.

Zhang Yangwen didn't dare knock on Su Cheng's door, afraid of disturbing her rest.

"The Ma family is actually quite reasonable. What I mean is that the Ma family is giving you face, Brother Cheng."

“You see, even when you talk to them, they still acknowledge you.”

"I'm too embarrassed to go to them and tell them that I don't have the money to pay the debt right now."

Zhang Yangwen believed that it was Su Cheng's ability and influence, as well as the rise of Emperor Group K10, that secured a grace period for his debts.

The truth was far more cruel than he had imagined.

If only I knew the truth.

I'm afraid Zhang Yangwen wouldn't be so naive as to think about Ma Shuning.

Looking at Zhang Yangwen's relaxed face and listening to his words of gratitude, Su Cheng felt no sense of "going to great lengths for a friend."

There is only one kind of absurdity that is both laughable and pathetic.

"You should avoid contact with them for now."

"Yes, I know!"

After this incident, Zhang Yangwen was too ashamed to go see Ma Shuning again.

Zhang Yangwen thought Su Cheng was afraid he would get involved in gambling again, so he readily agreed.

Su Cheng knew what Zhang Yangwen was thinking, but what Zhang Yangwen thought now was not important. The key was that he promised not to go to the Ma family.

Actually, it's no use for Zhang Yangwen to look for him now. He has no more value to be used, and Ma Shuning won't pay any more attention to him.

Su Cheng will not resent Zhang Yangwen.

He knows nothing.

Like Su Cheng, Zhang Yangwen was also a victim. After this incident, how did Su Cheng feel when facing Zhang Yangwen again?
Su Cheng couldn't explain it either.

There was no feeling of guilt or betrayal.

There is no shame either.

Because it's simply not even worth mentioning.

It's just a little difficult to talk about.

This secret is too heavy a burden.

How should I say it?
Hey Zhang, I have something to tell you. Um, what is it? I was drugged by your white moonlight, and she might have recorded me in her room, and she might even be pregnant??
This is so hard to say!

If Zhang Yangwen knew the truth, his entire worldview would collapse, and the blow to him might be greater than the 200 million yuan debt.

He will be forced to confront the ugliness of human nature and to re-examine his past perspective.

Especially for someone like Ma Shuning, a highly educated and beautiful heiress from a wealthy family, who is also her "white moonlight."

Su Cheng and his relationship may never return to its current relaxed and natural state.

So not telling him the truth is also to protect him.

So Su Cheng mustered his spirits and began to put on a facade of peace. He had to suppress the turmoil in his heart and not reveal any clues so that Zhang Yangwen would notice.

While eating, Su Cheng chatted with Zhang Yangwen, subtly inquiring about some details of that night.

But Zhang Yangwen couldn't get anything out of him.

This guy felt he was too tired from playing cards, so he slept in his room all day, and then asked for leave to rest.

The good news is that Zhang Yangwen no longer dares to pursue Ma Shuning, nor does he have the face to do so, so Su Cheng is not worried about that.

"Even if Ma Shuning takes the initiative to contact me now, I'm too embarrassed to hang out with her."

“I feel there is a class difference between us.”

Su Cheng: ???
"You finally realized it!"

"You better be."

"So now, do you regret not being born into a wealthy family?"

"No, no, I think my family is fine. Luckily, I'm not a rich kid."

"Huh? Why?"

Su Cheng was puzzled.

Shouldn't Zhang Yangwen think that if he and Ma Shuning were a good match, the relationship would be settled?

How can you be so glad you're not a rich kid?

"I recently saw online that the children of the wealthy are actually the most miserable and distressed group, and are prone to depression."

Su Cheng: ???
"Because they are at the crossroads of working, starting a business, and taking over a family business, and they are also constantly at risk of falling back into poverty."

“I also checked our group’s database. Globally, family businesses have a lifespan of less than 24 years, and only 13% of them can be passed down to the third generation.”

"So many second-generation rich kids don't actually live as easily as we imagine; in fact, their lives are extremely painful."

Su Cheng: ???
"Are you an idiot?"

Su Cheng's aversion to stupidity has kicked in.

Is this how you use my database?

What the hell is the risk of falling back into poverty?

Isn't it just the fear of becoming an ordinary person?

If you can't even figure out how to play the hacked version of Earth Online, you might as well just go straight to the game.

For anyone who wasn't raised in poverty, Su Cheng's suggestion is to go straight to the rooftop, press W + spacebar to verify Newton's second law, or find a street lamp you like and hang it there.

Isn't the business your parents built up meant for you to enjoy?

When he got home, he discovered that his child had developed depression because of their wealth.
They're like flowers in a greenhouse, what more do they want?

When registering an account in your next life, I suggest going to South Africa, or try starting with a cataclysmic disaster in a vocational high school toilet.

They even put on a show.

Zhang Yangwen didn't dare to talk back even after Su Cheng scolded him.

"Read less of this kind of melodramatic, sentimental literature."

"Uh-huh."

Su Cheng had almost finished eating when Jiang Shuyue arrived carrying a thermos of soup.

"Oh dear, you've all eaten?"

"Hey, Sister Shuyue, didn't I tell you I brought my own lunch? Why did you bring it again?"

"It's not rice, it's soup my mom made, to help you nourish yourselves."

Zhang Yangwen chuckled: "Sister Shuyue, are you giving this tonic to me or to Brother Cheng?"

Jiang Shuyue glared at him: "Shut up, you got to drink too, okay?"
