After smoking a cigarette, Yue Heng threw the cigarette box and lighter into the trash can at the end of the alley.
Smoking was harmful to health.
One cigarette was enough.
He walked along the sidewalk of the side street toward the bus stop in his memory.
This street was located behind the Fifth High School of Taijiang City. Most of the houses on the street were built in the 1980s and 1990s.
Because the rent was relatively cheap, it became a place for outsiders to live.
It was crowded and shabby.
There were many small restaurants, milk tea shops, and snack shops on the street.
There was a strange smell in the air.
People came and went in a hurry.
They were busy with their own lives.
The scene in front of him easily awakened the deepest memory in Yue Heng's soul.
It was like a wanderer who had wandered outside for half his life and finally returned to his hometown.
And this most realistic aura of the mortal world seemed to have a strange magical power.
It easily calmed Yue Heng's manic soul and diluted the vicissitudes in his eyes.
At the same time, it also unconsciously changed the temperament of Yue Heng that was woven from countless blood and fire.
He was like a real 16-year-old boy, observing everything around him with curious and greedy eyes.
Such a scene would be impossible to see thousands of years later. Even the mother planet under Yue Heng's feet that gave birth to human beings was listed as the highest level of ecological protection by the League of Stars.
No one was allowed to set foot on it.
After Yue Heng's rebirth, he never returned to Earth even once until he died in battle.
It took him 10 minutes to walk a short distance of two to three hundred meters.
Finally, he stepped on the stop of the 107 bus.
After a few minutes, the bus arrived. Yue Heng swiped his student card and got on the bus, then got off at the East Gate.
Then he transferred to the 7 bus to the Jade Garden Station.
As a big city with a long history, Taijiang had always had a saying that "the east is expensive and the west is rich".
The place Yue Heng wanted to go was the core area of "Donggui".
When he arrived at the Zhang family's mansion, it was already dark.
"Why did you come back so late?"
A middle-aged man with outstanding appearance and fashionable clothes was guarding the gate.
When he saw Yue Heng, he frowned and scolded in dissatisfaction, "Don't you know what time it is now?!"
Yue Heng stopped in his tracks and expressionlessly replied, "There's a lot of traffic during the evening rush hour, and the bus was stuck in traffic."
The middle-aged man was speechless.
He didn't know why, but he felt that his son was different from usual.
It made his heart palpitate for some reason.
"In the future, in the future …"
The middle-aged man awkwardly rubbed his hands, "Be careful, your Aunt Lirong is very worried about you and asked me to come out and look for you."
Yue Heng almost laughed.
Zhang Lirong was worried about him?
What a joke!
The middle-aged man was Yue Heng's father, Yue Junmin.
Zhang Lirong was Yue Junmin's second wife.
She was Yue Heng's stepmother.
Although Zhang Lirong was also remarried and had two children, she wasn't very beautiful.
However, in everyone's opinion, Yue Junmin was definitely climbing the social ladder to marry the eldest daughter of the Taijiang Zhang family.
In his first life, Yue Heng followed Yue Junmin into the Zhang family's mansion as a burden.
On the surface, it looked like a meteoric rise.
But in fact, it was the beginning of his tragic life!
If he had a choice, Yue Heng didn't want to step into the Zhang family at all.
He didn't want to look at the Zhang family either!
But after thinking about it, he still followed Yue Junmin into the courtyard of the mansion.
The front hall of the mansion was brightly lit, and men, women, old, and young were all gathered together.
More than a dozen members of the Zhang family were all there.
The men were drinking tea and chatting, the women were whispering, and the grandchildren were surrounding the Old Master and Old Madam to curry favor.
It was a warm scene of joy and harmony.
But when Yue Junmin came in with Yue Heng, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became subtle.
Yue Junmin couldn't help but bend down and say to a middle-aged woman sitting on a mahogany sofa with a smile, "Lirong, Heng is back. There was a traffic jam on the way."
Zhang Lirong nodded reservedly, "Well, take him to the kitchen to eat something."
Yue Junmin quickly said, "Okay."
He quickly took Yue Heng to the kitchen.
Yue Heng didn't say anything.
But he was keenly aware of all kinds of gazes falling on him.
High and mighty, indifferent, disdainful, mocking …
There were also hostile gazes!
Yue Heng remembered the faces of every member of the Zhang family present and could connect these gazes with their names.
His figure was always upright.
When Yue Heng and Yue Junmin left, Zhang Lirong curled her lips, "No rules."
In the kitchen, Yue Junmin asked someone to bring a plate of snacks, "Fill your stomach first. I'll ask the chef to cook a few dishes for you."
Yue Heng shook his head, "I'm not hungry now, Dad. I want to tell you something."
Yue Junmin was a little surprised, "What is it?"
"I want to go back to the old house."
Yue Heng said, "It's close to the Fifth High School. It's convenient for me to go to school."
"How can that be!"
Yue Junmin widened his eyes, "Who will take care of you if you live there? No! "
He spent a lot of effort to persuade Zhang Lirong to let Yue Heng live with him in the Zhang family's mansion.
But after only a few days, Yue Heng wanted to leave!
Yue Junmin was very angry.
He felt that his painstaking efforts had all been fed to a dog.
Yue Heng's eyes darkened, "I've already decided. The Zhang family's rules are too big. I'm not used to it."
In his first life, Yue Heng didn't have the courage to refuse and resist.
He lived under the roof of the Zhang family for three years and suffered cold shoulders and ridicule.
In the end, he was driven out in an extremely humiliating way.
And now, Yue Heng couldn't be manipulated by others anymore!
Although he didn't have the strength and status of his second life.
He had the ability to live a carefree life!
Yue Junmin hesitated.
The middle-aged man felt Yue Heng's determination.
He also knew the Zhang family's attitude towards his son.
After weighing the pros and cons for a moment, Yue Junmin nodded, "Okay, I'll talk to Lirong and let you move back to the old house."
After hesitating again, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll transfer the ownership of this house to you!"
Yue Heng was very surprised.
The house was left behind by his grandfather.
In the early years, Yue Heng lived with his grandmother in the county town and only stayed in Taijiang for a few days during the winter and summer holidays.
After his grandfather passed away and Yue Junmin married Zhang Lirong, the old house was empty.
He remembered that it was later sold by Yue Junmin.
It was early next year.
At that time, Yue Junmin and his partner failed in a project and owed a lot of money.
It was also from then on that Yue Junmin's backbone was completely broken and he became Zhang Lirong's servant and plaything.
He didn't have any dignity as a man.
But at this time, Yue Junmin still had some feelings for Yue Heng.
He wasn't as ruthless and despicable as later on.
"Okay."
Yue Heng immediately agreed and added, "I want to move over tonight."
He didn't want to stay in the Zhang family for even a second longer.
He just had to take some of his personal belongings with him.
