After graduating from college, I dedicated myself to entrepreneurship. Yet, my best friend, Mike Chen, always seemed to make ten times more money than I did with ease. I made a thousand; he made ten thousand. I made a hundred thousand; he made a million. After working day and night for a whole year, I finally saved up a hundred thousand dollars, but he would turn around and show off a million-dollar balance on Instagram. My wife cursed me for this, despising me as a useless loser. I worked so hard that I slept no more than four hours a day, while Mike could make money just by lying at home. In the end, I died in a car accident due to exhaustion, my death was gruesome. On the day of my funeral, my parents fainted from crying, but my wife, who had always scolded me for being useless, turned around and ran into Mike's arms. She said happily: "Mike, your system is so good, it really can make so much money easily!" Only then did I understand that all the problems lay with this system. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the car accident. 1 "Arthur Jiang, can you be a bit more promising? Look at Mike, he makes money just sitting at home!" "How can someone like you afford to support me? Go to work now!" The angry scolding in my ears brought me back to my senses. Looking at Chloe Lin's angry face, I realized with a start that I had been reborn to the time before the car accident. Seeing me dazed, she became even angrier and actually pinched my arm directly. Her sharp manicured nails dug fiercely into my flesh, making me gasp in pain. "What are you dazing for? If you don't go to work and make money, I'll divorce you!" Seeing Chloe about to pinch me again, I shook off her hand. She fell to the ground, shocked and furious: "You, you dare to hit me!" "Arthur Jiang, I want a divorce!" If it were before, hearing the word divorce would make me tremble all over and immediately coax her. As long as she used divorce as a threat, I would be willing to do anything, more obedient than a lapdog! But now, my expression was cold and solemn, and I even had the mood to smile: "Fine, let's divorce then." The woman who usually bossed me around suddenly lost her arrogance. She pulled my hand and acted coquettishly: "I was just joking with you, why did you take it seriously?" "I just want you to work hard like Mike and give me a better life." Chloe had exquisite features, and when she acted coquettishly, men had no power to resist. A soft sentence could make one want to pluck the stars from the sky for her. Among these people, I would definitely not be included now. I slowly pulled her hand away and replied coldly: "I'm going to sleep in the room now, don't disturb me." Seeing this, she obviously became more anxious, even dragging me to prevent me from leaving: "Don't you have a very important client to meet this afternoon? What will happen to him if you don't go?" In my previous life, I had an accident on the way to meet a client. Because of a month of high-intensity non-stop work, my spirit had reached its most exhausted point. But Chloe didn't want me to rest. If I rested, I would be scolded by her. It wasn't until I died that I knew the truth. It turned out that Mike had bonded with a so-called system. As long as I worked hard to make money, he could easily make ten times more money than me. What's more disgusting is that my health deteriorated because of work, but he could borrow my life to become long-lived and healthy. I worked like a horse for ten years, but in the end, my white-haired parents had to send off their black-haired son, grief-stricken. Mike, however, relied on the system to thrive, building his success on my bones. Since this is the case, why should I work hard? Isn't Mike capable of making money? I want to see how much money he can make without me! "Of course I'm not going." "If you want to make money so much, go yourself." Chloe's eyes widened, not expecting my temperament to change so drastically. Seeing her hesitate to speak, I directly closed the door and locked it, isolating that disgusting face. I slept until the next afternoon. 2 The house was empty. I transferred all the hundred thousand dollars I got from this cooperation to my parents' card. After everything was done, I returned to the company. As a result, as soon as I arrived at the company, Mike and Chloe rushed over. The first thing they did when they saw me was to question me fiercely: "What did you do this afternoon? Why is there a hundred thousand dollars missing from the joint account!" "Hurry up and transfer the money back, half of that money is mine." Seeing my face look bad, Mike quickly came over to smooth things over: "Chloe is just anxious. You didn't tell her when transferring money, it's inevitable for her to overthink." "It wouldn't be good if it hurts the relationship between husband and wife." Listening to his high-sounding words, I sneered: "Is it your place to speak when I argue with my wife?" Mike was stunned, and his face immediately became ugly. Seeing this, Chloe felt distressed immediately, raised her hand high to slap me. "Arthur Jiang, how can you talk like that! Mike is doing this for our own good, how can you not give me even this bit of face?" I turned sideways to dodge her slap, and with a casual push, Chloe fell into Mike's arms. She stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her voice trembling: "You! You can't make money and dare to treat me like this, Mike is better than you..." I didn't need to listen to know what she was going to say. Starting from the first year we dated, she had always compared me with Mike. In front of others, she often embarrassed me. Over the years, I was tamed by her to become gradually inferior and cowardly, completely manipulated by her. Therefore, I often felt guilty towards her, thinking I hadn't given her a better life. Looking back now, all this is bullshit! I glanced at her indifferently: "Since he is so good, then marry him." "I see Mike likes you quite a bit too, why don't you two get together and spare me from harm." Hearing this, Chloe struggled out of Mike's arms, her tone sharp: "How can you think of me like this? Mike is my benefactor, we just have a pure friendship between a man and a woman." 3 "Only people with dirty minds like you see everything as dirty." I didn't time to banter with her, so I just perfunctorily said: "Think whatever you want, don't hinder my work." Chloe had always been arrogant and naturally couldn't stand this anger. Seeing her turn her head to leave with Mike, I didn't care at all. But Mike pushed her hand away and turned back to smooth things over for me; "Brother Arthur, don't be angry, we are really innocent." "Sister-in-law just can't think it through for a moment, I'll persuade her for you, but you should transfer this hundred thousand back quickly. A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea, don't hurt the harmony because of this." I looked up at him and handed him a car key: "Mn, go accompany her to relax, return the car to me when you have time." He took the key, even more satisfied in his heart, and directly pulled Chloe away. Looking at their backs, the questions in my heart grew. Logically speaking, Mike already had a million, why would he value the hundred thousand in my hand so much? Even not hesitating to make a scene in front of me, emphasizing repeatedly to transfer that hundred thousand back. Is it really that important to him? I leaned back in the chair and opened the dash cam player in the phone app. This is a new car I bought, very cherished, so I thought of buying a better dash cam to avoid unclear disputes in case of an accident. Therefore, the dash cam footage is 4K HD and can record all sounds inside the car. I subconsciously held my breath and leaned closer to listen. "Why didn't you let him go discuss the contract? Do you know how long I planned for this setup! Only if Arthur Jiang dies can we completely possess this money, do you understand?" Chloe's voice sounded extremely aggrieved: "Why are you in a hurry? Arthur Jiang refused to go himself, could I force him? Besides, isn't it good to let him live a few more days and earn more money for us." Mike sighed faintly, his tone even more resentful for her not meeting expectations: "Greed leads to mistakes. The system has pros and cons. If Arthur Jiang transfers money out, I will be punished ten times." Hearing this, my heart shook. That is to say, Mike lost a whole million! No wonder, I only transferred out a hundred thousand, but it made them so unsettled. Immediately after, my attention was attracted by the next sentence. "So, we must solve this future trouble quickly, understand? The rest depends on you." Chloe responded coquettishly. "Alright, when have I not done what I promised you? Give me some time, I'll make sure he doesn't return tonight!" Mike then smiled lewdly: "Baby, Arthur Jiang hasn't come home yet, how about we do it here..." Before he finished speaking, the seat was heavily reclined, followed by waves of wet sounds. I directly saved the video of the two's illicit affair, a surge of hatred rising in my heart. This bitch Chloe Lin, wasted my years of indulgence and care for her. I could indulge her so much because she was the white moonlight I liked since high school. She had exquisite features and excellent grades, a goddess in the hearts of countless people. I valued her too much, worrying about gains and losses in love for her, so I held her in the palm of my hand and loved her for more than ten years. Yielding to her had long become a habit, fearing she would get tired of me and leave me. If I earned a dollar, I wished I could break it into two for her to spend. Even so, she still felt it wasn't enough and never gave me a good face. Even when my bones were not yet cold, she ran into Mike's arms. I will always remember them kissing beside the tombstone as if no one was around: "Hubby, I was with him for more than ten years for you, you have to compensate me well." 4 "Baby, aren't you afraid of being seen by Arthur Jiang's soul? Careful he won't rest in peace." Chloe laughed coquettishly, tone helpless: "Why should I be afraid of him? Alive, he was just my clinging dog. Dead, he's just dead." "In the next life, if I crook my finger, he'll still crawl over to be my simp." Recalling her certain tone then, my heart aches. The questions of two lifetimes finally got an explanation. Mike wanted to kill me, and she personally handed him the knife. Can I still expect any true feelings from such a person? I hated them to the extreme, but at this moment I couldn't expose myself. Divorcing Chloe, she would inevitably take half of my money. I must plan for myself. What's more, I also want to know what exactly their conspiracy is. That night, Chloe didn't come home. It wasn't until early morning that she called me: "Hubby, we're having a class reunion at Old Friends Bar tonight, do you want to come?" "Everyone says they miss you." Listening to the noisy bar sounds on the other end of the phone, I pretended to be worried and said: "Then I'll come now, pick you up by the way." Places like bars are full of mixed people. Maybe this is the trap she set for me. But I just wanted to see what medicine she was selling in her gourd, so I contacted another important person before driving. Just pushed open the door of the private room, Chloe leaned into my arms bonelessly. I endured the nausea and didn't push her away directly. She then blinked her watery eyes and said aggrievedly: "Hubby, it was my fault during the day, can you not blame me anymore?" "The person I love most is only you." In front of so many classmates, I didn't want to say much either. Mike smiled on the side: "Everyone toast to Arthur Jiang quickly. He is a big boss now. One word from him can arrange jobs for you." The remaining few people suddenly became eager and came to toast me one after another. I drank a few glasses. After feeling a bit tipsy, I directly refused the rest of the wine. Resultingly, I felt my body becoming abnormally weak, and my mouth was a bit numb. Realizing something was wrong, I prepared to leave.
