Chapter 803 - 318: The Phoenix Man’s Rebirth (Part 2)
And the result? The child wasn’t up to par, indulged in debauchery, lived recklessly, and eventually ruined himself.
Yet, everyone around cursed him!
He Jingtian felt no guilt, but when he heard the gossip outside, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
Fortunately, this matter passed quickly.
He Jingtian continued to live happily with the mistress and their illegitimate child.
Only, perhaps as karma, He Jingtian was just over forty when he got lung cancer, and it was already in the late stage when discovered.
No cure, not even surgery, just waiting to die.
And as he was waiting to die, his wife, the former mistress who had been legitimized, conspired with He Jingtian’s company’s financial director, cleaned out his fortune, and ran away with their son.
This mistress was rather conscientious; to let He Jingtian die informed, she left him a letter before leaving.
The letter contained a lot of nonsense, but only one sentence was crucial—Dear husband, the son isn’t yours!
Severely sick plus the shock, after He Jingtian spat out a mouthful of blood, he never woke up again.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself sitting on an old-fashioned green train.
"I’ve been reborn?"
"Back to twenty years ago?"
This year, it was the 1990s, he was twenty-one, a junior in college, preparing to pursue Su Anqi for his future!
"Yes! Angel! My wife, the one who loves me the most, this time I absolutely won’t let you down!"
"And Yoyo, my beloved daughter, I won’t let you end up like in the previous life either!"
Even though I still regret that the daughter isn’t as good as a son, but no matter how bad a daughter is, she’s still my own, much better than in the past life when I unwittingly raised someone else’s son for several years!
At worst, I’ll talk to my wife nicely, and ask her to have another child.
As for that bitch, hmph, if I don’t run into her in this life, so be it, but if she crosses my path again, let’s see how I’ll handle her!
And that financial director who betrayed me, this time I absolutely won’t let him get away!
Clang!
Clang!!
The old green train was still moving rhythmically along the track, and He Jingtian had fully accepted the fact that he was reborn and was planning his next steps in detail in his mind.
Given a new life, it was a blessing from heaven, and he would cherish it well.
Make amends where needed, take revenge where due, and won’t leave himself with any regrets.
... Wait, something seems off!
"Am I, He Jingtian, really such a scumbag ’Phoenix Man,’ an ungrateful bastard?"
A voice, as if realizing something, asked doubtfully.
"What’s a ’Phoenix Man’? An ungrateful bastard? How unpleasant, I indeed am not a good person, but I haven’t broken any laws!" another voice retorted.
"Not breaking the law means you’re not a bad person? The law is the lowest standard of human morality!" Hmm? This sentence sounded somewhat familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
"What lowest standard, not lowest standard, do you think you’re a moral role model, an exemplary figure of etiquette." The other voice retorted disdainfully.
He Jingtian suddenly felt a headache, with two voices continuously arguing in his head.
It was as if he was split into two vastly different personalities.
Uh?
Could I have a dual personality?
As a reincarnator, He Jingtian naturally knew some memes or common knowledge from the future.
But at that relatively closed and backward point of the early 1990s, ordinary people had little concept of personality disorders.
It wasn’t until later, with the influx of Hong Kong films and foreign movies, that people realized: A person could have dual or multiple personalities!
"What an impressive college student, remarkable indeed. Your parents must be especially proud."
"Indeed, I wonder how their parents raised such an outstanding child!"
While He Jingtian was secretly having a headache, the people around were still discussing him.
There was no helping it; He Jingtian was handsome, and his college student demeanor was very distinct.
The key was he didn’t exhibit arrogance or aloofness despite being a college student, and he was very polite even to the elderly women from rural areas, which made people like him a lot.
Parents?
The moment He Jingtian heard these two words, his heart trembled violently.
His parents, to be honest, weren’t impressive figures.
For a long time, He Jingtian felt shame and disgrace for having such parents.
His father was somewhat better, though a cripple, he could still earn money to support the family.
But his real mother? A bona fide lunatic who couldn’t take care of herself and would even relieve herself on the streets.
Since childhood, because of having such a crazed real mother, He Jingtian endured unending ridicule and sidelong glances.
This time, He Jingtian suddenly returned, he also aimed to handle this biggest trouble.
"Damn! He Jingtian, you’re truly worse than an animal, you, you bastard actually did such a disgraceful thing..."
