Back To 2001: Becoming The Richest Man Alive

“Mom… don’t cry, don’t cry. I will protect you.”

Xu Xinrong’s sobbing, Wanwan’s panicked crying voice, and the date on the calendar all stimulated Jiang Bei’s nerves.

The sharp pain at the back of his head told Jiang Bei that he was really reborn.

“My daughter, my wife are still alive…”

Jiang Bei grinned, tears silently rolling down the corners of his eyes.

However, his body began to tremble violently. Those nightmarish days, even just thinking about them was enough to make him suffer endlessly!

In his previous life, this was the day when he owed a gambling debt, and someone came to him to collect the debt!

He didn’t even know how much debt he owed. He would be beaten violently when someone came to collect his debt.

And back when he was drunk, he didn’t care at all about the life and death of his wife and daughter.

After those hooligans came to his house, they threatened Jiang Bei who was drunk and couldn’t pay a single cent. After that, they gave him a vicious beating. His daughter was pushed to the corner of the living room, and her head was heavily knocked on it.

A child of only three years old died just like that.

That night, his wife slit her wrists at home and committed suicide.

His daughter’s death was the last straw for this strong woman. Her hope for a better life was gone, and she could no longer see her daughter grow up.

Jiang Bei struggled to stand up. He wanted to see his daughter, but he stumbled and fell to the ground.

The pain in his knees, the weakness in his legs, and the lack of clarity in his mind made it impossible for him to stand up, but he straightened his body.

And knelt down.

Jiang Bei didn’t care about Xu Xinrong’s shocked expression. He murmured softly, “Wanwan, Wanwan…”

“Can daddy hug you?”Jiang Bei asked in a pleading tone, “Can daddy hug you again?”

Jiang Xiaowan raised her head and looked at her mother beside her, as well as her tearful father.

“Daddy, can you stop hitting mommy? If you stop hitting Mommy, I’ll let you hug me,” Jiang Xiaowan tugged at her mother’s sleeve and said timidly.

“I won’t hit her anymore. I was wrong.”Jiang Bei couldn’t hold back his tears anymore, and they poured out like torrents at this moment.

He hugged his daughter who was walking towards him and cried silently.

How would the three-year-old Jiang Xiaowan understand any of this?

How would she know that her father was reborn after twenty years?

She just felt that if her father wouldn’t hit her mother anymore then the family could be happy together again.

“Daddy don’t cry. If you cry, you are not a good baby anymore.” Jiang Xiaowan patted Jiang Bei’s back gently and comforted him.

“I won’t cry…” Jiang Bei wiped his eyes with his sleeve, but he couldn’t control his tears.

“Daddy, you’re hurting me,” Xiaowan said softly in Jiang Bei’s ear. She didn’t dare to speak loudly because she knew that if her mother heard it, she would “snatch” her away from her father’s arms.

She also enjoyed this kind of embrace. It seemed that in her few memories, this man whom she called “daddy” had never hugged her.

“I am sorry.” Jiang Bei quickly relaxed his arms as he muttered.

It was not clear whether he was apologizing for hugging his daughter too tight, or for what he had done in so many years.

His daughter was much smaller than her peers. It was because he had stolen all the money in the family and went out to gamble and drink, resulting in the family not having the money to feed their daughter better.

As for his wife, he could not remember how many years it had been since she had bought new clothes.

She was so beautiful. She had met him at her prime but he had ruined her life.

He could not even remember the way she smiled. That smile that came from the bottom of her heart.

What he remembered was that desperate smile. He did not know when it started, but she did not even cry because of his actions anymore.

And her daughter’s death made her completely lose hope in life.

All of this was his fault!

Xu Xinrong looked at the scene in front of her in a daze. She looked at the man who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly, as well as her young daughter in his arms.

It was like the scene of someone repenting.

But…

This scene had appeared too many times!

Every time was no exception. It was all for the money!

She could no longer hope that this man would change, and she did not think that he would really treat her well after today.

She did not care about herself anymore, as long as she still had her daughter, her life was enough.

Jiang Bei’s face still had tears that had not dried up. He raised his head from his daughter’s neck and looked at his wife’s emotionless face. He said hurriedly, “Xinrong… I am sorry. I am really sorry.”

“I will change. I will let you live a good life.”

“I will earn money. I will support my family. I will send Wanwan to kindergarten. I will take her to the park to play. I will buy you beautiful clothes. I will work hard…” Jiang Bei’s tears could not stop flowing and he said it without thinking.

He did not know what he should do to save his family.

But in Xu Xinrong’s eyes, all of this was just a joke.

She had heard his promise countless times.

This time, it was still for money.

“Isn’t it just money? Jiang Bei, do you think I’ll believe you?” Xu Xinrong asked without any fluctuation in her voice. There was no expression on her face because of Jiang Bei’s crying.

Xu Xinrong slowly took out two 100-yuan bills from her bag and handed them to Jiang Bei. She said calmly, “This is all I have. I’ll give it all to you. As for me and Wan Wan, you don’t have to care.”

She didn’t know why Jiang Bei would behave like this, but she would no longer be deceived by his flowery words.

A fox would reveal its tail sooner or later, and she was not willing to wait.

She had been beaten up enough times, and she had long had enough. If it weren’t for her daughter, she wouldn’t have done this!

Just like all the previous times, he only wanted money.

It’s all just for money!

“What? Two hundred is not enough?” Xu Xinrong had a desperate smile on her face. She just smiled and looked at Jiang Bei calmly.

This smile made Jiang Bei’s heart feel as if it was pierced by a needle.

“Mommy… daddy will change. He said he won’t hit you again. Daddy knows he’s wrong. Please forgive him.”Jiang Xiaowan turned her head and looked at Xu Xinrong with tears in her eyes.

She could feel that her dad was really repenting.

“Wanwan, come here.” Xu Xinrong snatched her daughter back and looked at Jiang Bei calmly.

Jiang Bei’s eyes were still filled with tears. As he met Xu Xinrong’s gaze, his lips were trembling, and he was still kneeling.

“Xinrong… I promise you… Trust me one last time, one last time! I will use this 200 yuan…”

At this moment!

The sound of heavy footsteps suddenly came from the corridor.

Jiang Bei’s face instantly turned pale. He ignored the pain in his knees and staggered to his feet. “Xinrong, you guys go in first! Take our daughter and go in!”

“Bang, Bang, Bang!”

There was a violent knock on the door, as well as cursing and shouting outside.

“Jiang Bei, open the f * cking door for me! Hurry up and open the door! I know you’re at home! Otherwise, don’t blame me for smashing the door!”

“No wonder two hundred yuan isn’t enough.” Xu Xinrong laughed silently. She looked at the man in front of her who seemed to be at a loss as if his lie had been exposed..
