Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 2 Fiancee

   The place where Yang Chen lives now is a cozy two-bedroom, one-bedroom residence. Because the location is good, the monthly rent is not cheap.

   Originally, this place was not intended to be rented, but for the sake of Xue Yufei, his fiancée, he had no choice but to rent it.

   To say that the Xue family was considered a wealthy family in Xiangjiang in the 1980s, although it was not as good as those top wealthy families with tens of billions of dollars.

   However, Father Xue, who is worth hundreds of millions, can be regarded as a member of the upper class of Hong Kong.

   And Xue Yufei, the eldest young lady of the Xue family, is also the only daughter of Father Xue. She has lived a privileged life that everyone envied since she was a child. It is hard to imagine that she would live in such a place with her predecessor, her fiance.

   Xue Yufei lived here with Yang Chen, not because Father Xue did not accept his poor son-in-law, on the contrary, Father Xue had nothing to say about his son-in-law.

  In 1973, Xiangjiang experienced an unprecedented stock market crash. Both Yang Chen's parents died unfortunately, and Father Xue took Yang Chen, who was only ten years old at the time, into the Xue family.

   Father Xue has always had high expectations for the son of his old friend, and he spared no effort in cultivating him since he was a child.

   Even because the Xue family only had a daughter like Xue Yufei and no son, Father Xue almost raised the son-in-law Yang Chen as his son.

  In the 1980s, the manufacturing industry in Hong Kong was very developed and prosperous, and it was also called the Four Little Dragons of Asia with Wanwan, South Korea and Singapore at this time.

   Xue’s father’s worth of hundreds of millions mainly comes from the garment industry, and the Xue family mainly operates a garment factory.

   As for Yang Chen's cultivation, Father Xue has always pursued an all-round follow-up, so that if the couple passed away in the future, Yang Chen would take over the Xue family's property and take care of their only daughter.

   At first, Yang Chen was also very obedient, and he studied step by step according to the plan that Father Xue gave him. Due to the factor of losing his parents since childhood, his studies were also extraordinarily serious and hard.

   However, it was too late to wait for Father Xue to be relieved, the young man's rebellious psychology happened to Yang Chen, who was only nineteen years old.

   Last year, Yang Chen suddenly fell in love with music and began to have a great interest in music.

   At first, Father Xue didn’t take it seriously, thinking that this was just a hobby of Yang Chen, so he didn’t interfere too much.

   As Yang Chen became more and more obsessed with music, and even developed to the point where he was about to quit school, Father Xue finally couldn't sit still.

   Originally, Father Xue thought that after Yang Chen graduated from University, he would arrange for him to marry his daughter, and then enter the company logically to prepare for his next career.

  Everything was in order, and everything was going very smoothly. Now, the chain suddenly fell from Yang Chen. Eight years of painstaking efforts were ruined at one point. Father Xue was almost angrily admitted to the hospital.

   Amid Xue's father's strong objection, although Yang Chen felt very guilty, he still insisted on choosing the music he liked.

   To this end, he even moved out of the Xue family.

   Now, Father Xue can't do anything about it. As the saying goes, 'If the girl is too old to stay, the child can't help her. ' Yang Chen was determined to pursue his own music, and Father Xue could only compromise by default.

  According to Father Xue's idea, young people only know what is right and wrong and turn back only after encountering difficulties and banging their heads with blood.

   Xue Yufei, the eldest young lady of the Xue family, did not have any objection to Yang Chen's thoughts. When she saw Yang Chen moved out of the Xue family, she moved out without saying a word.

  According to Xue Yufei's words, her identity as Yang Chen's fiancee has long been known to the major families in Xiangjiang, and she can't take it off if she wants to.

   What's more, she never thought of taking off this identity, she likes to be by Yang Chen's side, and is used to being by his side, her idea is very simple, that is, if Yang Chen goes there, she will go there.

   There is no way, Yang Chen can only accept Xue Yufei's choice for this fiancee who is a few days older than him, but who has been silently following him since childhood like a younger sister, never interfering with him in doing anything.

  At the beginning, when Yang Chen dropped out of school, Xue Yufei also applied for dropping out without hesitation. Not to mention her predecessor, even Yang Chen at this time couldn't bear to reject this fiancée, not to mention that this fiancée had a face that could bring disaster to the country and the people.

   got out of bed, and walked towards the bathroom according to his memory. Looking at the small bathroom in front of him, Yang Chen couldn't help but think of the spacious bathroom of the Xue family.

   Compared with it, there is a world of difference between the two.

  Two towels and two toothbrushes, Yang Chen picked up the man's toothbrush in front of him, squeezed the toothpaste and brushed his teeth while thinking about his future plans.

   Yang Chen neither objected nor supported the predecessor's desire to develop music. To be honest, the predecessor had no idea of ​​becoming a big star at all.

   To put it bluntly, the predecessor was squeezed by various arrangements in the past, and wanted to escape from the original life so that he could have a space to breathe freely.

   The predecessor drank and got drunk yesterday, and it wasn't because the music made him lose hope and get drunk. Yesterday was the day when the predecessor's parents died. The predecessor drank too much while he was sad, and this happened.

   For the fact that there was no clear arrangement for the future in his predecessor's mind, Yang Chen shook his head speechlessly.

   You must know that the predecessor is not a person. Not only is there a fiancee by his side, but there are also two father-in-law and mother-in-law who are full of expectations for him as parents and children.

   The behavior of the predecessor, in Yang Chen's view, is simply playing the piano randomly.

   Yang Chen, whose edges and corners have been worn away by time, has long since lost the rebelliousness of his youth and the pressure in his life. He can experience some of it from the friends around him.

   In the previous life, Yang Chen lived in a single-parent family since he was a child. His parents divorced very early. Because his father was busy with work, he placed him next to his grandfather to take care of him.

  However, the grandfather who looks no different from normal people on weekdays, after drinking, it really means that the king and Laozi have to take a detour.

   The sky and the air, plus an actual combat skill 'playing babies'.

   After waking up, every time he saw Yang Chen covered in injuries, in order to maintain his grandfather's majesty, he euphemistically called him training Yang Chen's ability to fight.

   Yang Chen was used to it since he was a child.

   As the saying goes, a dutiful son emerges from a stick, and when he met such a grandfather, Yang Chen was like a neighbor's child since he was a child, but he was well-behaved, clever and obedient.

   However, this kind of life continued until Yang Chen went to college, and when the old man stretched his legs, it was completely over.

   There was no one to discipline him, and Yang Chen gradually began to become lawless. He was educated by the old man since childhood, and it was quite good for Yang Chen to practice horizontally.

  He was a good student on weekdays, but he changed his normal behavior. In the end, before he finished university, he transferred to another school with the farewell of all the teachers and students.

Where did    go?

   A nationally well-known university, which gathers the top talents from all walks of life. It claims to be a concentration camp that can accommodate all talents.

   After a few years of struggling at the social university, Yang Chen felt that studying every day was too tiring, so he began the most important stage of his life, staying at home to eat.

  Before his alcoholic grandfather died, he left a few houses for him. His name was written on the real estate certificate. After the house was handed over to the agency, he had a fixed income every month.

   Don't worry about eating and drinking, Yang Chen only does three things at home every day, that is, eat, sleep, and go to the toilet.

   He was so idle that he became fascinated with novels that made all young people want to stop and wanted to quit but couldn't quit, and became a glorious bookworm otaku.

   In the past life, I had been chewing for a long time, lazy cancer, and he couldn't change it even if he wanted to.

   Once a person does not work for a long time, and he does not have to worry about life, it is very difficult to go out again.

   Now that he has a new identity and a new beginning, except for the time and place, everything else has not changed. Naturally, Yang Chen will not be as decadent as in his previous life.
