Chapter 66.2
Face-Slapping the reborn CEO (1.2)
Editor: ghost
Zhou Xueli had a shortcoming: he liked to sleep in. No matter if it was the first world or after rebirth, he could not change this shortcoming.
This showed a lot of things. This showed that Zhou Xueli did not completely change after his rebirth. His smooth sailing was only based on making countermeasures to the future developments he already knew about.
For example, he knew that Zhou Xu hated Ke Tur and conveniently used that point. He also knew what Zhou Xu would do after school, so he took precautions first. In short, his every action was based on the future’s development. However, Zhou Xu was different. First, he was not the original owner of the body and secondly, if he was reborn, then he must have a more splendid life than anyone else. There was no fun in relying on the golden finger of knowing the future to live.
The present Zhou Xu was also a “prophet”, but his and Zhou Xueli’s foresight were very different.
The three persons’ breakfast was coming to an end. Zhou Xueli came down from the luxurious stairs, clad in a white shirt and a pair of jeans – he looked clean and refreshing.
Zhou Xueli’s double-eyelids were really pronounced, making his eyes look very big. If his eyes were cowardly in the first world, then in this world, they were very steady. He wanted revenge for the first life where he was sold to a nightclub and died in the street.
Feeling Zhou Xueli’s gaze on him, Zhou Xu looked up and said to Zhou Xueli with a smile, “Xueli, come eat breakfast, it’s almost cold.”
The shock of Zhou Xueli, who was holding the handrail on the stairs, could be clearly seen. Zhou Xu would never have talked to him so gently before. Basically, even though the two of them were brothers, in reality, they were no better than enemies. Besides, Zhou Xu always disdained talking to Zhou Xueli, he had personally said before, “The child of a mistress is a bastard, not worthy to live with me”. Then what about the current situation?
When Zhou Xueli didn’t respond, the atmosphere became awkward. In Zhou Qiang’s eyes, Zhou Xu was showing fraternal affection to his little brother, however Zhou Xueli was very disrespectful. It was obvious who was better and who was worse. As a result, Zhou Qiang reprimanded Zhou Xueli with a stern voice, “Xueli, your brother is talking to you. What is this attitude of yours?”
The reborn Zhou Xueli was still puzzled. He went to the long table and sat down.
Zhou Xu pushed Zhou Xueli’s share in front of him and said, “Eat quickly.”
Zhou Qiang was very satisfied with Zhou Xu’s change. He wiped his hands with the towel given by the maid and said, “Xiao Xu, since you’ve grown up, come with me to a golf competition on Sunday. I know you don’t know how to play. You only need to follow me.”
“Okay, dad.”
Only now did Zhou Xueli come out of his stupor. He couldn’t stay weak. Zhou Xu was a hypocrite. In front of his father, Zhou Xu would look obedient, but behind his back, Zhou Xu was a domineering villain that would commit all kinds of atrocities.
“Dad, wait.” Zhou Xueli said in a hurry.
“Xueli, you need something?”
Zhou Xueli thought for a moment and felt that it was better to bring Ke Tur to his side. Anyway, these two people were originally incompatible, or rather, Zhou Xu didn’t get along with anybody.
“Dad, Zhou Xu has been bullying me for so many years, did you really not know anything? Now I want to tell you that what he has done can no longer be called bullying, but abuse. Yes, I’m not as tall as Zhou Xu, neither am I as strong, but dad, I’m also your son. Would you really allow one of your sons to abuse your other son? Moreover, he’s not only bullying me, but he has also bullied Aunt Ke. Zhou Xu never kept Aunt Ke in his eyes, but he also insulted her. Dad, Aunt Ke is your wife, do you not care about this?” Zhou Xueli spoke in a hurry. This was the first time he exposed his true feelings in front of his father after his rebirth.
Because he was too hasty, he forgot to show his scars and only argued with words. Zhou Xu used this point to interrupt him, “Xueli, I used to be a jerk before, but I won’t be in the future. Don’t disturb dad, he’s also very busy. I will also not treat Aunt Ke like that in the future. Before you came down, I had already told them about it.”
Seeing that Zhou Xu was so forgiving, not arguing with this complaining little brother of his, Zhou Qiang felt relieved. It seemed that his eldest son had really grown up.
On the contrary, Zhou Xueli was obviously the same age as Zhou Xu, but to this day he still slept in. After getting up late, he came down to complain about his own brother. It was really disappointing.
Zhou Qiang knew that Zhou Xu was often bullying Zhou Xueli, but he never stopped it. For him, the winner was king, whether it was in the business world or politics. Don’t say that the means were despicable, if you could survive, even if it was despicable, it was still better than dying.
Zhou Qiang looked at his youngest son and said, “Xueli, you’re not young anymore, when will you grow up? An almost 20 years-old person still using the word “bully”, you are not a primary school student that needs his parents to make decisions for him. Even if you were really bullied, you won’t solve anything by telling me. You need to become strong. When you’re strong, who will be able to bully you? Moreover, people will encounter many people and many things in their life. At that time, you will understand that Zhou Xu’s bullying towards you is just playing. Xueli, learn from your brother.”
Zhou Xu stood up. He looked at his father with calm eyes and said, “Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll take care of Xueli in the future. I was really insensible in the past, but Dad, please believe me, I’ve already changed.”
Zhou Qiang looked at Zhou Xu approvingly and said with a smile, “Jia you”.
Zhou Qiang once again looked back at his youngest son with dissatisfaction in his eyes, but he still said, “Xueli, you also do your best.”
When Zhou Qiang left, Ke Tur stood up and said to Zhou Xueli with unclear meaning, “I don’t get along with both of you, but at least your brother is more magnanimous than you.”
Ke Tur left after she was done talking, leaving Zhou Xu and Zhou Xueli alone with each other. Zhou Xu smiled coldly and said, “Di di, let’s get along peacefully.”
When Zhou Xueli looked at Zhou Xu’s appearance, he felt resentful. He knew that Zhou Xu provoked him on purpose, but why did he have to get fired up?
Zhou Xu turned around and left. Zhou Xueli was so depressed that he couldn’t eat. In the end, he asked the driver to take him to school without eating anything.
Zhou Xueli thought for half a day on the way. Why did Zhou Xu change, didn’t he never talk while eating?
In the previous world, weren’t Zhou Xu, Zhou Qiang and Ke Tur about to quarrel at the time he went down?
Why did he find the three of them getting along as soon as he went down this time? It seemed like his appearance disturbed their tranquility.
Thinking back, Zhou Xueli was overcome with regret. He shouldn’t have been so hasty. He should have first exposed the scars on his thighs and arms and then talk about Zhou Xu’s abuse. That way it would have been more impactful. But he was so anxious this morning that he missed the best opportunity. It would be useless to use this method again in the future because Zhou Xu had already apologized. If he didn’t let go, then he would be the one at fault.
Zhou Xueli wasn’t satisfied, but he could only put aside the matter first. He knew what Zhou Xu would do in the future anyway, he should first take precautions before finding evidence to let him die.
When Zhou Xueli arrived at school, he went to find Wen Chan.
Wen Chan was the girl he loved in his previous life, but until death he had not dared to confess. It was also not until then that he understood that Wen Chan actually loved him in their school days.
After rebirth, Zhou Xueli decided to not miss her again. Moreover, he was reborn to his university days, the time when Wen Chan liked him the most. That’s why as soon as he arrived at school, he went to Wen Chan’s classroom.
Just as someone came out of the classroom, Zhou Xueli stopped the student and said, “Classmate, is your class’ Wen Chan here?”
The student turned his head towards the classroom and shouted, “Wen Chan, someone is looking for you.”
In the classroom, a girl lifted her head. Her appearance was gentle. She had bright red lips and although she was not the most beautiful, but because her complexion was especially white, she looked very pure and lovely.
Wen Chan stood up and went to the door. Zhou Xueli felt that his heart was beating like a drum. He once again thanked God in his heart. He was reborn, he had a chance to live again. He would surely treasure it and be happy with Wen Chan. Right, he would let Zhou Xu who had killed him, die without a burial place.
They were at a private high-grade business school. Those who could attend this school were either rich second-generations or the second-generation of officials. In short, they were all influential people.
Of course, there were some exceptions. For example, Wen Chan was not the daughter of a rich businessman or a senior official, but because her father was Zhou Qian’s teacher and was also the former principal, she could attend this school.
When Zhou Qiang had started from scratch and didn’t understand many things, Wen Chan’s father, Wen Jianyao, often taught him a thing or two because he appreciated Zhou Qiang’s efforts.
Wen Jianyao specialized in business and finance, that’s why Zhou Qiang could become today’s Zhou Qiang with Wen Jianyao’s help. To this day, Wen Jianyao was still Zhou Qiang’s most trusted and respected person.
Wen Jianyao was a very strict person, even with Zhou Qiang. Zhou Qiang once wanted Wen Jianyao to teach Zhou Xu and Zhou Xueli, but he refused. He said that he was too old and didn’t have the energy.
Wen Chan was at the bottom of the school hierarchy. She was looked down upon by many people. She liked Zhou Xueli because first, he was really good looking, and secondly, they shared the same misfortune.
Normally, Zhou Xueli would also be considered the second young master of the Zhou family, but because he was suppressed by the Zhou family’s eldest son in all matters, this was not the case. Moreover, the eldest son had always looked down upon the second son.
That’s why Zhou Xueli became part of the lowest class at school. He was even bullied by the sons of third-tier companies. But this time, he was reborn, he knew how to guard against Zhou Xu’s abuse. He believed that he would surely succeed.
Wen Chan walked out and saw Zhou Xueli. Turning red, she hung her head and whispered, “What can I do for you?”
Zhou Xueli also trembled anxiously as he said, “Wen Chan, let’s talk downstairs.”
“Okay.”
The two people nervously went to the wistaria path downstairs. It happened to be spring. The road packed with wistaria was very romantic.
Under the wisteria, Zhou Xueli said, “Wen Chan, I… I love you. Be my girlfriend.”
Wen Chan’s face reddened, she looked at Zhou Xueli in disbelief. It was not until she was sure she was not dreaming that she nodded her head and said with a voice similar to a mosquito cry, “Okay.”
Zhou Xueli was so happy that he wanted to sing loudly and go to the sports field to run several laps. He hugged Wen Chan excitedly and whispered, “This life, I will definitely not lose.”
“Hm? What did you say?”
“Nothing, I said I wanted to be with you my whole life.”
The moment Wen Chan blushed, a gentle and warm voice was heard, “Sorry, this school forbids dating.”
Zhou Xueli and Wen Chan lifted their head at the same time, “Prin…principal?”
“Both of you go write a 5,000-word reflection and turn it in tomorrow. Return to your classrooms now.”
Zhou Xueli and Wen Chan left in a hurry.
When the two of them left, Zhou Xu came out from behind the principal. Zhou Xu was dumbfounded and said, “Principal, you actually enjoy breaking-up couples so much?”
“I heard it by chance, so I had to take care of the matter. This is my responsibility as principal.” The young principal, Nie Yuantong, continued to talk with a smile, “Aren’t you happy to be able to add problems for your little brother?”
T/N: Do you prefer that I write “Di di” and “Jia you” and put notes, or would you rather have everything translated? ಠ⌣ಠ
