Shen Er's family. At this time, Shen Er was already an old man over 70 years old. The Shen couple raised Jiang Jingchen as their own child. Although Jiang Jingchen knew that he was not born to the couple, his childhood memories had gradually become blurred. The couple never mentioned how he came about because they were afraid of making him sad. But he didn't want to know how he came to the Shen family. The Shen family also gave him a name, Shen Ci. This name was given by the most educated gentleman in the village. The gentleman said that this baby was a gift.

Before Jiang Jingchen was 6 years old, he was sent to a teacher to learn to read. The couple would bring the few eggs they produced every day to the teacher. Little Jiang Jingchen was smart and sensible, and the teacher liked him very much. When he was 7 years old, the couple heard from the teacher that the village primary school was recruiting students, so the two old couple asked the teacher to help them with their relationship. In this way, Jiang Jingchen had to go back and forth for half a day every day to go to school. When he first started primary school, the old woman of the Shen family would carry mountain products and firewood to send Jiang Jingchen to school every day, and then she would go to the market to sell them to earn tuition for Jiang Jingchen. Shen Er would go up the mountain every day to see if there was anything that could be exchanged for money. When Jiang Jingchen was older, the old woman of the Shen family didn't go as often. Although life was hard, the family of three were happy to have this family love.

Until Jiang Jingchen’s senior year of high school.

Yuan Hui found Jiang Jingchen and brought the police. The police investigated the entire incident. The Shen couple confirmed that they were not involved in the trafficking. They also learned the name Jiang Jingchen for the first time.

After that, Yuan Hui settled down in the village and always wanted to take Jiang Jingchen away.

Jiang Jingchen, who couldn't sleep at night because of this incident, came to the couple's door. Before he went in, he heard their conversation.

"Old lady, Aci's mother is here, why don't we return Aci to her?"

"But I can't bear to let him go, Aci. We've raised him for so many years. Woo woo..."

The crying voice of the old woman from the Shen family came from inside the door.

"But Ah Ci is already in his third year of high school. At our age, I'm afraid we can no longer support him. Perhaps it would be best for him if he left."

The Shen couple fell silent. Shen Er was reluctant to let Jiang Jingchen go, but they had heard from their husband that after his senior year of high school, the college entrance exam would begin. In the village, Jiang Jingchen had used connections to get into elementary school, middle school, and even high school. However, attending university required a household registration (hukou) and an ID card. Now that Yuan Hui had come to them, they had no way of registering Jiang Jingchen's household registration. In other words, Yuan Hui controlled Jiang Jingchen's future.

Of course, Jiang Jingchen was reluctant to leave the Shen couple. He listened outside the door and secretly made up his mind. Jiang Jingchen didn't know anything about the household registration and school examination at this time, but when he thought of the two elderly people running around for him, his eyes became moist. He wanted to go back with Yuan Hui. He couldn't drop out of school. This was the wish of the Shen parents, so he had to work harder and become a useful person. When he was older and capable, he would come back to repay the Shen parents.

In this way, Jiang Jingchen spent three days saying goodbye to the Shen couple. At this time, he naively thought that he would see the Shen couple again in the future. On the last day, Jiang Jingchen and Shen's parents hugged each other and cried until they were hoarse. Finally, at Yuan Hui's urging, Jiang Jingchen was ready to leave.

"Mom and Dad, don't cry. I'm leaving. I'll come to see you during summer vacation." Jiang Jingchen shouted loudly, turned his head and waved to the two hunched figures. This was the last sentence he said to the Shen couple, and he also swore in his heart that he would come back.

Following Yuan Hui back to the Jiang family, the current Jiang family is no longer the Jiang family of the past. It is now a magnificent villa. The first thing Yuan Hui did when she got home was to take Jiang Jingchen to worship the little ghost. Although the little ghost's entity is still in Jiang's mother's belly, the little ghost was still very young when he died and it was not visible at all. So in the eyes of ordinary people, Yuan Hui is just a middle-aged woman with a bit of gloom. The body of the little ghost is specially prepared for Jiang Jingchen. It is a room at the end of a corridor on the third floor of the big villa. Jiang Jingchen felt a chill when he entered. Jiang Jingchen saw that the tablet on the table was for Jiang's father, but who knew that this tablet was not used to worship Jiang's father at all, but for his younger brother, the younger brother he never knew, and the little ghost who was now controlled by his mother.

Jiang Jingchen looked at his father's tablet. Although he was not familiar with his deceased father, he had heard Yuan Hui talk about how his father died. He was raised very well by the Shen family's parents, so he naturally knew how to be grateful. Therefore, he also had some good feelings towards the man who died because of him. Without much to say, he knelt down and began to worship. However, what Jiang Jingchen didn't know was that this worship would cost him ten years of his life.

Seeing Jiang Jingchen complete the sacrificial ritual, Yuan Hui warmed up to her son. From now on, although the little ghost would listen to her, all the good things would also happen to Jiang Jingchen. She had to think carefully about how to use Jiang Jingchen and keep him by her side.

Yuan Hui took Jiang Jingchen to various social gatherings in order to find ways for Jiang Jingchen to make money. It was not until a producer took a fancy to Jiang Jingchen at a cocktail party that Yuan Hui realized that this was how she could use her son.

So in the second month after Jiang Jingchen returned to the Jiang family, Yuan Hui stopped Jiang Jingchen from going to school and asked him to film a web drama. The 18-year-old Jiang Jingchen hadn't even graduated from high school yet, but he was already filming a web drama and became popular. Jiang Jingchen was handsome. Growing up in a mountain village, he was sunny and approachable. All of a sudden, he became popular in the entertainment industry and became the national little brother. At first, Jiang Jingchen was still working and studying at the same time. He thought his mother was just separated from him for many years and was anxious to support him as a way of compensating him. But later, when he was supposed to graduate from high school, his mother didn't let him take the college entrance examination. He finally began to feel that something was wrong. He had become Jiang's mother's cash cow, and a cash cow that didn't care about his feelings at all.

Jiang Jingchen has been trying to escape from this hellish life since he was 19 years old, but Jiang's mother is too rich. Jiang Jingchen is always surrounded by a dozen bodyguards, never leaving their side. He has escaped countless times, but all failed.

Until one day when he called the police and the police came to his house, Yuan Hui threatened him that if he continued to do so, she would attack the Shen couple. Jiang Jingchen was scared. He didn't dare to gamble. He didn't dare to bet that this devil-like woman in front of him would be soft-hearted and let the Shen couple go.

Just like that, he gave in. Like a walking corpse, he kept participating in various activities and variety shows, becoming a puppet. As long as he could make money, Jiang's mother would let him participate.

Jiang Jingchen thought that his life might be like this, living a muddled life and becoming a money-making tool for his biological mother. What an ironic life. He really missed the days when he lived with the Shen couple. That was the happiest moment he could think of after a tiring day.

Things didn't take a turn for the better until Jiang Jingchen was 21 years old.
