Chapter 1: Even the kids can only afford packaged instant noodles now!
When the phone rang, Xiao Shulang was still dizzy. In his daze, he didn't look at the caller ID, picked up his phone and answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Xiao Shulang, we've already broken up, so let's be dignified. What's the point of sending me messages to insult me? I've already said—"
The voice on the phone was very impatient, which instantly snapped Xiao Shulang to his senses. He moved the phone away and saw that the caller ID read: Luo Tian.
Note: Scumbag boyfriend.
Xiao Shulang: Oh, so it was him.
Without saying a word, he hung up the phone decisively.
Luo Tian was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed in disbelief, "He actually dared to hang up on me?!"
His voice carried an anger that he himself was unaware of. After all, it was Xiao Shulang, the one who had doted on him for three years, practically wanting to pluck the stars from the sky for him!
Luo Tian can turn his back on someone and refuse to acknowledge them, but he won't allow Xiao Shulang to hang up the phone.
Xiao Shulang not only dares to hang up the phone, but also dares to provide a one-stop service of deleting and blocking, readily offering it.
After all, the current Xiao Shulang is not the original person who had been in a relationship with Luo Tian for three years, but a transmigrator. He was feeling dizzy just now because he was processing the information.
It took Xiao Shulang some time to accept the fact that he had transmigrated. One of his strengths was his strong adaptability, and his life motto was to live well and be true to himself.
Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it; we'll have to live our lives no matter where we are.
My biggest regret is that I can no longer visit the orphanage where I grew up.
Xiao Shulang transmigrated into a book he had read. This person not only shared the same name as him, but also looked exactly like him. In the book, he was a minor supporting character with very few scenes.
But the few words were enough to describe the original owner's entire life, because this unfortunate child died at the age of twenty-six.
In the original novel, Xiao Shulang was the second young master of the Xiao family. He was living a glorious and comfortable life, but unfortunately, he ran into Luo Tian, a scumbag. Luo Tian only loved his money and used sweet words to coax him. The original owner, who was already deeply in love, did not realize that he was treating Luo Tian with all his heart.
They've gotten so close that they've already met each other's parents and gotten engaged.
Even when the original owner entered the entertainment industry, it was all to accompany Luo Tian. He generously gave him all the good resources, which is why he is still just a nobody.
Some time ago, the Xiao family's business was not doing well and was on the verge of bankruptcy. Xiao Shulang was in a lot of trouble. After Luo Tian confirmed that there was no more profit to be made, he finally tore off the mask and showed his true colors. He asked Xiao Shulang out and bluntly said, "Let's break up."
Xiao Shulang inherited the original owner's memories, and Luo Tian's infuriating expression from back then was still vivid in his mind: he held his chin up, extremely arrogant, and spoke shamelessly in front of the original owner—
"I've never liked you. If you didn't look a bit like Xu Baichang, I would never have agreed to date you. Being with you would be a disservice to me, okay?"
After reading this memory, Xiao Shulang took a deep breath: He hardened, his fist hardened.
The failure of love became the last straw that broke the camel's back. The original owner's spirit finally collapsed completely, and he gave up on himself and headed towards the end of his life.
Then Xiao Shulang passed through at that moment.
Xiao Shulang sneered: What do you mean by "somewhat like Xu Baichang"? You're acting all wronged, like Luo Tian?
Unable to find his true love, he settles for a substitute.
Pah!
Over the past three years, the original owner devoted his heart and money to making Luo Tian the top star he is today, and he indulged Luo Tian in everything. It must have been so unfair to him.
Calling him a dog is so offensive, even a dog would shake its head in disapproval.
Xiao Shulang looked at the messy room of the original owner and the pile of depression medication on the table, his eyes turned cold: Luo Tian has taken all the advantages, and now he wants to turn around and leave after seeing the decline of the Xiao family, and continue to be his top star? Dream on!
He couldn't stand the scumbag who deceived his feelings, and he also had a connection with the original owner of this body through time travel, so he had to stand up for the original owner!
However, compared to punishing the scum, there is another urgent crisis that needs to be resolved:
The original owner had only 2000.90 left from all his bank cards and payment apps... not a single extra penny!
The original owner originally owned three properties. Two villas had already been sold, leaving only the apartment he was currently living in, which had also been mortgaged. If he couldn't repay the money, the apartment would be taken away, and he would have no choice but to pack up and leave.
He transferred all the money he raised to his older brother's account to help keep the company afloat.
Even a hero can be brought down by a lack of money. Xiao Shulang calculated his utility bills and food expenses and suddenly felt a huge sense of crisis. He quickly called his agent to discuss work.
He wanted to beat up the scumbag, but he needed to save his own life first; he didn't want to starve to death right after transmigrating!
Agent Wang Hao answered the phone immediately: "Where are you? I'd like to talk to you in person."
Xiao Shulang gave the apartment address.
Before the agent arrived, Xiao Shulang tidied up the house. The original owner had been depressed for quite some time, and the trash could fill several bags.
Wang Hao rushed over as fast as he could and opened the door, saying, "I called you yesterday and this morning but no one answered. What were you doing?"
His tone was urgent, but with obvious worry. Xiao Shulang knew he meant well: "Sorry... I drank a little too much."
Wang Hao exclaimed in surprise: "You've been drinking all day?"
Of course not. The original owner locked himself up, and then... sigh.
Xiao Shulang had already packed up the antidepressants. He invited Wang Hao into the house. Wang Hao looked at the garbage bags piled up by the door and the house that was not yet fully cleaned up, and his heart ached.
The trash bag contained cheap takeout containers and instant noodle bags. When has this young master of the Xiao family ever suffered like this? Look, the kid can't even afford a cup of instant noodles; he can only eat bagged ones!
Wang Hao: "How did
