Reborn in 1977, starting with severing ties with family.

In his past life, when Jiang Lei told Jiang Sen those things in prison, he had the same reaction as Jiang Lei now.

"You think I'll fall for Huang Liping's seduction? I already knew you slept with her, so why would I touch her?"

Jiang Lei was panting heavily, unable to utter a single word, his eyes filled with hatred, wishing he could glare holes through Jiang Sen with his eyes.

"It's almost time!" came the voice of a police officer from outside the door.

Jiang Sen glanced back, leaned closer, and in a voice only the two of them could hear, returned to him Jiang Lei's last words as he left prison in his past life, verbatim: "Just wait to die in prison! Heh..."

Jiang Sen left, and Jiang Lei angrily pounded his fist on the railing.

"Jiang Sen! I'm going to kill you! Kill you! Ah..."

Jiang Sen was then taken to another detention cell to see Jiang Dayou.

People say that hair turns white overnight, but in just half a day, Jiang Dayou looked like he had aged ten years.

Looking up at Jiang Sen, a hint of emotion flickered in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by hatred.

If it weren't for Jiang Sen, how could he have ended up in this situation today?

He was about to be promoted from deputy workshop director to director, and his salary and benefits would be different. All the benefits that were within his reach were ruined by his son. How could he not hate him?

Jiang Sen was very disappointed in him.

He had been disappointed ever since his past life when he always sided with Bai Jing and Jiang Lei.

And the last bit of family affection he had left in this life vanished completely when his relationship with Bai Jing and Jiang Lei was exposed.

"If you like Bai Jing, why did you marry my mother?" Jiang Sen asked bluntly. "The day my mother had the accident, did she go to work crying because she found out about your relationship?"

Jiang Dayou was taken aback when Jiang Sen asked about his mother right away, and turned his head away.

Jiang Sen said indifferently, "Since you like Bai Jing, why did you marry my mother and have me? My mother is gone, and you immediately brought her here, and even joined forces to bully me!"

Jiang Dayou lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"I'm your own son too, why are you treating me like this? Do you regret not killing me sooner so you could make room for them?"

Jiang Sen stared intently at Jiang Dayou, but Jiang Dayou remained silent.

When the police came over to remind him that time was up, Jiang Sen finally said, "I will never forgive you in this lifetime!"

He left, and Jiang Dayou stared at the closed detention cell door, remaining silent for a long time without moving.

Jiang Sen originally planned to only meet Jiang Lei and Jiang Dayou, and did not intend to meet Bai Jing, but Jiang Dayou's silence made him change his mind.

Once inside, Bai Jing was no longer as fair and beautiful as before; her hair was disheveled and she looked quite disheveled.

Seeing Jiang Sen come in, she rushed to the railing as if she had found a lifeline.

She pleaded through tears, "Jiang Sen, I know I've wronged you, and I know you hate me, but Jiang Lei is your own brother! If he's sentenced, his life will be ruined! Please, please, go tell the police that you two brothers were just playing around, okay? Please? Please!"

Jiang Sen found it laughable that Bai Jing still thought she would back down even at this point.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Bai Jing slid down to the ground, crying, "Jiang Sen, as long as you let Jiang Lei go, I'll do anything you want, I'll give you all the money in the house! Yes, all of it, it's all in the bottom of the closet in my room, I beg you, please let Jiang Lei go! He's still a child..."

Jiang Sen had seen far too many parents of unruly children say this in his previous life.

Bai Jing's unconditional pampering and Jiang Dayou's unconditional tolerance led Jiang Lei to resort to any means to satisfy his own selfish desires.

And I am the victim of what they did.

That's an absolute mockery!

"Jiang Sen, I beg you, I really didn't want this to happen..." Bai Jing was still crying. "I know I shouldn't have confronted your mother, and I shouldn't have taken her place. It's all my fault. I beg you, I'd rather die than let Jiang Lei go..."

Jiang Sen was furious. Combining what Aunt Zhao had said, he realized that there was indeed something else going on the day his mother had the accident.

"Bai Jing!" Jiang Sen called her by name, squatted down in front of the railing, and looked directly at Bai Jing. "The day my mother had the accident, did you look for her?"

Bai Jing nodded subconsciously, but then realized something and shook her head repeatedly, anxiously explaining, "No, I didn't want to. I didn't know she would have an accident that day. You have to believe me, I really..."

"Shut up!" Jiang Sen reached in, grabbed Bai Jing by the collar, and pulled her to the railing. He gritted his teeth and said, "Have you no shame?! My mother is gone, and you're just living in her old bed and sleeping with her old man without a care in the world. Aren't you afraid she'll climb up from below in the middle of the night to settle scores with you? Huh?"

Jiang Sen's words made Bai Jing feel murderous intent. She tried to break free and hide back in fear, but Jiang Sen pulled her back forcefully, causing her to slam against the railing and feel a sharp pain in her chest.

"Bai Jing, let me tell you, you'll never have a good life. You and your bastard son, get ready to taste what it's like to be worse than dead! When you realize that even wanting to die is a luxury, you'll know just how much I hate you! You want me to let Jiang Lei go? Dream on! Even if he doesn't die in prison, when he gets out, I'll make him kneel down and beg me to let him die! Just you wait! Hmph!"

Jiang Sen's words sent a chill down Bai Jing's spine. She trembled uncontrollably, shaking her head and unconsciously murmuring, "No, no..."

Jiang Sen didn't bother to look at her again. He got up, clapped his hands as if to brush away something dirty, and turned to leave.

Bai Jing collapsed to the ground in despair, her face ashen.

Jiang Sen didn't go to see Huang Liping, finding her disgusting.

Outside the police station, when Aunt Zhao saw Jiang Sen come out, she quickly asked, "Have you seen him?"

Jiang Sen nodded and said, "Aunt Zhao, I'll need your help with the dissolution of the marriage contract later. I have a headache and want to go back and rest."

Aunt Zhao was heartbroken. "Alright, alright, let's go home. Don't worry about this. I'll get the certificate for your dad... and have Jiang Dayou sign it! You should go home and rest! Oh, what a tragedy..."

Back home, Jiang Sen felt as if the knot of resentment that had been weighing on his heart from his past life had dissipated, and he felt completely relaxed.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened them again, his eyes were completely calm.

He went straight into Jiang Dayou and Bai Jing's room and ransacked the place, finding all the money and tickets they had hidden.

To his surprise, Jiang Dayou and Bai Jing actually had so much money!

There was 1,800 yuan, more than 1,000 jin of grain coupons, as well as dozens of other coupons such as cloth coupons and industrial coupons.

Jiang Sen stuffed them all into his pocket without any hesitation.

He looked around the house; it was a small two-bedroom apartment, allocated by the equipment factory when his parents got married.

This is a public housing unit, and it's registered under Jiang Dayou's name. Even if you wanted to sell it, you couldn't.

But he wanted to sever ties with Jiang Dayou and the others, so he couldn't stay here any longer.

Fortunately, a group of people will be going to the countryside in a couple of days. If you want to join them, you need to register at the neighborhood committee. Hopefully, it's not too late.
