The Super Rich Second Generation

"Is this how it's going to end? I'm truly unwilling..." The feeling of suffocation left James too weak to struggle in the icy lake water. Before his consciousness faded away completely, there was one name he couldn't forget—Bob! Heir to one of the four great wealthy families! James would never forget, even in death, who had sent people to crush his legs. He would never forget how the family that once controlled a large financial group had suffered a complete downfall, including how his father had died, why his mother had passed away from illness, how his uncle, who served as a state senator, had been removed from office, and even the sudden death of his grandfather, who held a high-ranking position in a certain military region. It was highly likely that all these events were related to that person! In this cruel world, just because James had offended this one person, he had ended up with the fate of his entire family being "eradicated"! … And yet, it seemed that he couldn't really blame others for all of this. During his previous life, James had been extremely arrogant, squandered a great deal of wealth, and made too many enemies. When the Luo family started to decline, there were so many people who took advantage of their misfortune that James would have had no choice but to spend the rest of his life scavenging for garbage! If he could have a second chance, would his fate be different? …… James felt as if he had slept for a century. When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on... On the sofa in the living room of his home? Wait a minute! I... I'm not dead?! Where is this... Why does it look so much like his home in his teenage years? He raised his head and took a look around at the decoration of the living room. When he saw the time on the wall clock, James was completely stunned. The time showed: August 14th, 2005, the Ghost Festival. ……You've got to be kidding me?! 2005?! He was only 18 years old in this year! How could he have gone from being 38 years old back to 18 years old when he opened his eyes?! James pinched his arm hard. It hurt! It was so real, not a dream! "Or could it be that I've just woken up from a long nightmare?" Remembering his wish to live again before he fell into the lake, James' heart skipped a beat. He couldn't help but jump off the sofa. Unfortunately, for some reason, his head was dizzy, and his legs gave way, causing him to fall to the ground. "Ah." He let out a soft cry through gritted teeth. This dizzy feeling was just like having drunk all night long, and his head ached as if it were about to split. Realizing this, James became even more excited! At the age of 18, he really used to drink all night often. His parents were busy with business and usually weren't at home, so he became more and more unrestrained, and his life became more and more dissolute. Now, this real feeling of a splitting headache proved that James was really still alive! He had really returned to the year when he was 18!!! More importantly... James' heart was pounding as he moved his legs. The feeling of his flesh and bones connected made his nose sting. "I've really come back... to the year when I was 18... This is the time when all my misfortunes began. Heaven let me come back to this day, wanting to give me a chance to turn over a new leaf." With a thousand thoughts in his mind, James' throat felt a little choked up. All of this was real. The family business was still there, his father was still alive, his mother was still alive, and his uncle and grandfather were all still well! James secretly wiped away a tear. He had the appearance and body of an 18-year-old, but the soul of a 38-year-old man. It was a bit strange, yet it was so wonderful. As time passed minute by minute, James lay on the floor, completely relaxed, quietly sorting out his thoughts and feelings. His emotions gradually stabilized. His mature mind told him that if all of this was real, then he had to live his life well again. He wouldn't allow himself to make mistakes again. Even if this was just a dream, he still had to live a brilliant life! Taking a deep breath, James' eyes suddenly became sharp. Three years later, that is, in 2008, the capital city held an investment promotion conference and invited all the powerful wealthy families. As a second-tier family, the Luo family was also fortunate enough to participate. In fact, that conference was more like a matchmaking meeting for the wealthy families. Each family head brought the most outstanding children in the family. It was at that time that James reunited with his secret crush from middle school, "Ruth". Being young and frivolous, he launched a crazy pursuit, but not only did he fail to win her heart, but he also made a lot of enemies. It was precisely because of this that he became an implacable enemy of Bob. It started from personal feuds and developed into business wars between family financial groups, and even into dark battles in the underworld! To put it clearly, it was James' frivolous actions that dragged the Luo family into an abyss of no return! The bloodless war that lasted for seven years had plunged the Luo family into a bottomless pit. The whole family had paid a heavy price for James' fault! Thinking of this, James felt a sharp pain in his heart. But thank goodness, he had been given a chance to live again. He had to admit that Bob's methods were far superior to those of James at that time... But now that he had a new start, would he, James, still lose? Three years of time, hehe, it was more than enough. It could be said that James' vision now was more far-reaching than that of anyone living in this era. Just based on this point, he could rise up brilliantly. Even without relying on his family background, he could do it just by himself! "Click." At this moment, the door of the house opened, and a plump and beautiful woman came in. Seeing James lying on the ground like a stray dog, she was taken aback for a moment. Without saying a word, she rushed to James' side and helped him up. "I said, my young master, what kind of daydream are you having? Even that big sofa isn't enough for you, so what are you doing lying on the floor?" Her voice was very pleasant and delicate, with a hint of teasing and reproach in her tenderness. When James heard this voice, he instantly woke up from his countless thoughts, and his nose suddenly stung. "Kardashian? … Kardashian?" After being helped to sit on the sofa, James clearly saw the appearance of this beautiful woman in front of him, and his heart was pounding! … Her fair and flawless skin, a pair of enchanting eyes that could capture one's soul, and a hot and alluring figure, yet she was wearing a conservative work uniform. Who else could it be but his "aunt" Kardashian?! "Kardashian? …" James almost called out this name with a tremble. Upon hearing this, Kardashian blushed. She reached out and pinched James' face: "You rascal, is it appropriate for you to call me Kardashian? I'm your aunt! What's going on? Haven't you sobered up from the alcohol yet?" Aunt, Kardashian. Hehe. James suddenly grinned and giggled. He felt that at this moment, he was very happy. Kardashian's father and his grandfather were old comrades-in-arms. Although Kardashian was only five or six years older than him, in terms of seniority, she was his aunt. Her family lived next door to his, and she had a very good relationship with his parents and was very close to them. Usually, his parents were busy with business outside and sometimes didn't come home for a month or two. They would entrust Kardashian to take care of James more often. After all, James was just a senior high school student in grade three, only 18 years old. Later, as time went by, Kardashian simply got a key to his house. For more than a year, Kardashian often came to James' house to cook some meals for him and wash his clothes. Unfortunately, James was a young man with a bad lifestyle, which made Kardashian very worried. The reason was simple. James often drank alcohol and always brought some hooligans home to play cards all night long. He was a complete prodigal son. But for James, who had been reborn, Kardashian was a very important woman in his life. To be exact, the first person he fell in love with was Kardashian. James wasn't a good guy in the past. He had a crush on Kardashian, but he was rejected every time he confessed. Finally, some of his unreliable friends in society gave James some advice and told him to get Kardashian drunk and put some medicine in her wine by the way. Later, James succeeded and had a relationship with Kardashian as he wished. He still clearly remembered that early the next morning, when James woke up, there was no one beside the bed. There was only a red stain on the bedsheet and a note. There were only a few simple words on the note: "James, I will hate you for the rest of my life." The words were blurred by dried tears. One could imagine how painful Kardashian was when she wrote these words. After that, James never saw Kardashian again, and neither did his parents. It was as if she had suddenly vanished from the face of the earth and completely disappeared from James' life. It was also from then on that James completely went astray. He started to squander the family fortune without end, rebelled without end, and did all kinds of evil. And now... the "aunt" he had been longing for was right in front of him. How could James not be moved, and how could he not feel heartbroken? Sensing James' burning gaze, Kardashian blushed again. "You rascal, what are you looking at? Is there a flower growing on your aunt's face?" Kardashian knew that James was just 18 years old this year and was in his adolescence. She wasn't a fool either. She could more or less feel James' affection for her, but it was just affection. Since she was his "aunt" and the seniority was there, they couldn't do anything improper. So she never thought in the wrong direction. Moreover, in her eyes, James was still a child, wasn't he? In her words, Kardashian often mentioned that she was his "aunt", always reminding James. It was like saying: Hey, you rascal, I'm your aunt. Don't think in an unhealthy way! James naturally understood Kardashian's thoughts. Although he was only 18 years old now, his psychological age was almost forty, and he was even more mature than his parents. In his eyes, his "aunt", who was only 23 years old now, was just a simple girl. After experiencing the incredible rebirth, the mature James quickly calmed down and buried this rather absurd secret in his heart. In fact, even if he told others that he had been reborn, no one would believe him, right? "Aunt Kardashian, do you know when my parents will be back?" The reborn James was most concerned about his parents. Thinking that his parents were still alive now and the family hadn't declined yet, he felt an indescribable excitement and joy in his heart. "You kid, you fool around all day long and don't even know when your parents will be back?" Kardashian gave James a glare and took off her coat. She was only wearing a close-fitting white shirt inside, which made her full and round breasts more prominent. James' heart skipped a beat when he saw this: This aunt really treats me like a child. Does she look down on me for not being fully developed?
