Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

In July, the afternoon sun on a sunny day already felt scorching. The streets were filled with pedestrians who were "fully armed," all of whom regarded ultraviolet rays as their greatest enemy and wished they could use a hundred ways to block ultraviolet rays from their skin.

However, this feeling of heat was something Su Bai had longed for.

Because he was already dead, killed by the gun of the man he loved, on the very day he was about to propose to him.

He vaguely remembered that after Su Yangxia shot him in the heart, he was placed on an altar by another person, and his carotid artery was cut open to drain the last drop of blood from his body.

He vividly remembers that feeling: his body temperature dropped little by little as his blood was lost, and his limbs felt as cold as if he were in an ice cellar. He could feel his life force slipping away, but he could only face death with a clear mind and helplessness.

He died at the age of thirty.

Now, he's alive again!

It wasn't that Su Yangxia had a change of heart and saved him; rather, he was reborn at the age of twenty-two, right after graduating from university, when he was taken back by the Su family.

He was a child who should never have been born!

Back then, his mother was still in college. Su Shengrong, the president of the Su Group, was invited to give a speech at the university. His mother was the host of the speech, and the two inevitably crossed paths, thus beginning a tragic relationship.

His mother only found out that President Su had a family background when she discovered she was pregnant with him. She hesitated and struggled for a long time, but in the end, she chose to give birth to him because the child was innocent.

Unexpectedly, his mother had a difficult childbirth and passed away before she could even see him. After that, Su Bai was taken back to the countryside by his maternal grandmother.

When Su Bai was fifteen, her maternal grandmother was diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer and had no choice but to contact the Su family and hand Su Bai over to them.

After the Su family confirmed Su Bai's identity, they did not take him back. Instead, they found him a high school in the area, paid his tuition for three years, left him 100,000 yuan, and left without ever mentioning taking him back.

Su Bai thought he would never have any contact with the Su family again, until the day he graduated from university, he met the person who paid his tuition back then—Uncle Xin, the Su family's butler.

Su Bai returned to the Su family with Uncle Xin without much hesitation, and thus began his short and frivolous life.

If you were to ask Su Bai if he ever regretted going back to the Su family with Uncle Xin, Su Bai could say without hesitation that he did not!

Because if he doesn't return to the Su family, he will never be able to clear his mother's name! Because if he doesn't return to the Su family, he will never be able to shake off his status as an illegitimate child! Because if he doesn't return to the Su family, he will never be able to confront his irresponsible father face-to-face about why he abandoned them! Because if he doesn't return to the Su family, he will never see the regretful face of Su Shengrong, the head of the Su family!

His only regret was that he chose the wrong path and trusted the wrong person...

Su Bai closed his eyes and silently felt the sunlight on his face, sighing contentedly, "It's so good to be alive!" Just as he finished speaking, a commotion arose in his ears. Su Bai slowly opened his eyes and saw a Bentley driving straight towards him in the distance.

Su Bai had a strong impression of this car. It was the car that the Su family used to pick up guests. In his previous life, he was also picked up and taken back to the Su family in this car.

The Bentley slowly came to a stop in front of him, and after the car came to a complete stop, a man in a suit and tie got out of the car.

"Second Young Master, please get in the car."

The perfectly timed movements, the equally indifferent words, and the equally flat tone of voice, all exactly the same as in his previous life, gave Su Bai the illusion that he had not been reborn at all, and that it was all just a dream, merely his fantasy.

Seeing that Su Bai hadn't moved for a long time, Uncle Xin couldn't help but remind him, his tone carrying a hint of impatience, "Is there something else that Second Young Master hasn't finished dealing with?"

Upon hearing this, Su Bai looked up at Uncle Xin, chuckled, and then opened the back door of the car and got in.

It's different after all! Heaven took pity on him and gave him a second chance. This time, he will never fall into anyone's trap again; he will live for himself!

Uncle Xin was taken aback by Su Bai's sudden action. He paused for a moment before withdrawing his hand, opening the car door, and getting in.

"Second Young Master, the journey back to the Su family will take a while, so you can rest for a bit," Uncle Xin said to Su Bai while looking in the rearview mirror, before instructing the driver to start the car.

Su Bai nodded to indicate that he understood, and then closed his eyes to pretend to sleep. He had only been reborn half an hour before receiving Uncle Xin's call, and it had taken him a long time to process this fact before Uncle Xin arrived. Now, he was so tired that he didn't even want to lift his eyelids.

The intertwining of the realities of his past and present lives left Su Bai momentarily unable to distinguish what the true reality was.

In his previous life, his nominal father chose to bring him back to the Su family because he had no other choice. The Su family was a wealthy family with a history of over a hundred years. By the time it came to Su Shengrong, it had fallen behind other wealthy families due to its complacency. Unfortunately, Su Shengrong was not a leader who could expand his territory; he could only maintain the status quo. More than a decade passed, and the times changed rapidly. The Su Group could no longer keep up with the times. After Su Shengrong brokered several projects, he not only failed to solve the Su Group's predicament but also made it even more precarious. In desperation, Su Shengrong thought of abdicating.

Ultimately, the era belongs to the young. Su Shengrong hoped that injecting fresh blood into the company would bring about change. However, Su Yangxia was still young and needed a whetstone. Therefore, Su Shengrong brought Su Bai and the other illegitimate children back to the Su family one after another, with Su Bai being the last one.

After seeing Su Bai close his eyes, Uncle Xin waited a while before carefully and meticulously examining Su Bai.

Compared to seven years ago, the person before him had shed his naivety and immaturity, becoming mature and reserved. He still remembered the first time he saw Su Bai; that youthful face was full of resentment and surprise, as if it were rebuking him.

Now, Su Bai's face was completely expressionless, as calm as a stagnant pool.

However, Su Bai really does have a handsome appearance.

His black and white tracksuit made Su Bai's fair skin appear even whiter. His features weren't particularly striking, but together they created a strikingly handsome look—the kind that wouldn't be as good-looking if any features were added or removed. Even when Su Bai's face was expressionless, he was still very pleasing to the eye, making it impossible for anyone to feel any sense of wariness towards him.

Su Bai was fully aware of Uncle Xin's scrutiny, because he had been scrutinized in the same way in his previous life, like a product in a shop window, being examined carefully as if his value was being measured.

Helping the Su family is valuable!

In his previous life, he was supposed to be arranged to marry someone because of his pleasing appearance. Since his major in university was archaeology, which had nothing to do with the Su family's business, he did not agree with the arrangement and revealed his strength in advance. At the first family banquet after returning home, he revealed that he had studied financial management.

As Su Bai had predicted, after he revealed his strength, Old Master Su immediately changed his attitude, canceled his marriage proposal, and arranged for him to join the company. Su Bai thus climbed step by step towards the position of president, eventually becoming the president of Su Corporation. However, he was soon shot dead by Su Yangxia.

If he could do it all over again, Su Bai wouldn't reveal his true strength; instead, he planned to find someone and get married.

Ideally, it should be someone you would never fall for.

Because he truly dared not believe in love anymore...

Su Bai firmly believed that as long as he did not get involved in the vortex of the Su family's struggle, he could watch from the sidelines, wait for an opportunity to take revenge on Su Yangxia, and find the person who drained his blood in his previous life.

Speaking of this, Su Bai still had many questions in his mind. What had he done to deserve such hatred from someone in his past life?

After his rebirth, he had thought through everyone he had offended, but still couldn't find a clue. He had offended quite a few people, but none of them had gone so far as to want him dead and then cruelly drain his blood. Moreover, Su Bai vaguely remembered that before his consciousness completely dissipated, he heard a voice say, "It is his honor to sacrifice himself for the God-Making Project."

Because of this statement, Su Bai also went through all the projects he had handled, whether successful or not, but still couldn't find any clues.

After all, if he had really seen the words "God-Making Plan," it's impossible that he wouldn't have any recollection of them!

So who exactly attacked him?

Su Bai's mind was a complete mess, and he couldn't make sense of it at all.

The driver was very skilled. Su Bai was initially just pretending to sleep, but soon he actually fell asleep.

The university Su Bai attended was a full four-hour drive from the Su family home. When they were still more than half an hour away, Uncle Xin woke Su Bai up, "Second Young Master, we're almost at the Su family home!"

Disturbed from his sleep, Su Bai frowned involuntarily. After a while, he opened his eyes and replied to Uncle Xin, "I know!"

Uncle Xin hadn't expected Su Bai's reaction to be so indifferent! He'd even woken Su Bai up beforehand, giving him ample time to ask questions, but Su Bai didn't appreciate it at all! Did Su Bai have no questions? Did he not want to know why the Su family had summoned him back at this juncture? Or did he have nothing he wanted to know about the Su family? Or did Su Bai simply not understand his meaning at all?

After thinking it over, Uncle Xin felt that the last possibility was more likely, since Su Bai was raised in a free-range manner and it was normal for him not to understand some things!

"My name is Li Xin." Uncle Xin hesitated for a moment, but decided to briefly explain the situation of the Su family to Su Bai, so that Su Bai would not offend the direct line of the Su family. "You are the second in the Su family. There is a direct descendant, Su Yangxia, above you. The Su family only has one direct descendant, Young Master Yangxia."

Uncle Xin emphasized the words "legitimate son" and, fearing Su Bai might not understand, deliberately repeated them.

Su Bai gave a nonchalant "Oh," then turned his gaze to the scenery outside the car window, watching it flash by, his thoughts wandering off somewhere else.

Uncle Xin clicked his tongue inwardly, thinking, "Ungrateful!" He had emphasized this point for Su Bai's own good, but since Su Bai didn't appreciate it, there was no need for him to waste his breath. However, he still had to tell Su Bai what he needed to know; it was his duty as a butler.

Uncle Xin went on and on about the current situation of the Su family, mainly about how many people were in the family and what aspects of the family he needed to be careful about, without mentioning anything else.

Su Bai didn't care much from beginning to end; he knew the current state of the Su family.

The Su family is small now; most of the older generation has passed away, and the current head of the family is Su Bai's father, Su Shengrong. While the Su family does indeed only have one legitimate son, Su Yangxia, Su Shengrong has four illegitimate children. Su Bai is the eldest, twenty-two this year, only a year younger than Su Yangxia. Su Chengjun is the third young master, brought back to the Su family two years ago; he's half a year younger than Su Bai and also graduated from university this year. Su Mo and Su Qi are the fourth and fifth young ladies, respectively, currently in university. Because they are girls, they were brought back to the Su family two years earlier than Su Chengjun; they are now twenty and nineteen years old, respectively.

These past two years have been a crucial period for Su Shengrong to implement major reforms at the Su Group. Bringing Su Bai and the others back was also to provide an extra layer of security for the Su Group. However, in his previous life, Su Bai did not choose a marriage alliance but instead joined the company. Although she successfully led the Su Group out of its predicament, Su Shengrong still did not change his opinion of Su Bai. If Su Bai hadn't already fallen for Su Yangxia at that time, she might have become the president of the Su Group several years earlier.

Although Su Bai eventually became the president of the Su Group, he was shot and killed by Su Yangxia. In this life, Su Bai's resolve to form a marriage alliance is as firm as a rock. This time, he will make those people pay back everything they owe him!
