Chapter 1 — Real Child in a Fake Family

As soon as I was born, I harmed my mother: My biological father is the richest man, he can hear my heart. I have gone through time. Transform into a newly born child. The richest father, owning trillions of assets, hugged me and laughed until he couldn't close his mouth, saying that I was exactly like him. I secretly felt: Isn't that right, the three older brothers in the family are all children of my mother's adultery during our marriage, and only I am my father's biological son. Then my father's smile disappeared. The surrounding temperature immediately dropped ten degrees. He turned around and said to the butler: "Investigate, investigate everyone for me." Wait… Did you hear that?? 【Chapter 1】 I woke up in a chaotic area. To be more precise, I was pulled out of a warm place by a pair of large hands. Bright lights, loud sounds, and a nurse patting my butt. I opened my mouth and cried. It's not an act, it's really painful. But my mind is very clear. Memories of my past life flashed by like a flashlight—my name was Truong Loi, thirty-two years old, a programmer, and I suddenly died at work, with an unfinished glass of iced Americano next to me. Cause of death: Seven consecutive days of overtime. Verdict: None. Because death is too fast. Okay, time travel, time travel, at least resurrected. I tried to open my eyes. The vision was blurry, but one could still feel that the surrounding environment was unusual—the delivery room was very large, the equipment was very new, and the nurse's attitude was also extremely respectful. Someone said: "Congratulations, Mr. Co, it's a baby boy, my mother is round and round." Mr. Co? Just then, a pair of strong arms grabbed me. I was hugged by a man. His chest was very wide, the material of his suit pressed against my face, the feeling was soft and smooth. Custom made goods. I raised my head to take a look. Deep facial features, high brow bones, jawline so sharp it could grate a carrot. He looks about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, but is very well taken care of, and his whole body exudes the aura of someone in a high position. He lowered his head to look at me, his eyes filled with laughter: "This child looks exactly like me." The person next to me immediately chimed in: "That's right, that's right, General Manager Co, these eyebrows and eyes are as if they were cast from the same mold as you!" "Similar, too similar, the biological child is truly different!" I dreamily listened to those flattering words. Some information suddenly appeared in my mind—I don't know if it was this body's remaining memories, or a beginner gift from God. Late Dien Chau. Head of Co Thi Group. Trillion billion assets. Five consecutive years as the richest person in the country. My dad? Is my dad the richest man?? Also—I have three brothers. The eldest brother, Co Thua Vien, is twenty-two years old. Second brother Co Thua Trach, nineteen years old. Third brother Co Thua Hien, sixteen years old. And my mother, To Uyen Ninh. Coming from a famous family, married into the Co family for twenty-three years, kind and virtuous, a model of the wealthy. But. There was one thing in this information that made my whole body wrong—the DNA of all three brothers did not match. The eldest brother is my mother's child with her ex-boyfriend. My second brother is my mother's son and the driver in the house. Third brother... is my mother's son with the previous housekeeper. Only I am Co Dien Chau's biological child. Damn... What kind of Asura field am I investing in? Co Dien Chau was still hugging me and smiling, his thumb gently caressing my cheek: "Kid, dad has been waiting for you for a long time." A sentence suddenly popped out in my head: 【Haven't you been waiting for a long time, none of the previous three children are your children, you are the only biological child, can you not be excited?】 It was purely a grumble in my heart. I am a newly born baby, I don't even know how to drink milk yet, who can hear me? Then— Co Dien Chau's smile

freeze. His arm that was holding me tightened slightly. The look from a kind father turned into—I don't know how to describe it, something like the look on a CEO's face when looking at a quarterly loss report. The surrounding temperature seemed to instantly drop ten degrees. The nurses shivered, thinking the air conditioner was too cold. I: ??? Not. Dad's reaction was wrong. I just muttered one sentence in my heart, this look on dad's face... Wait. Could it be that he really heard it? No way. Absolutely impossible. I deliberately thought of one more question: 【What is one plus one?】 Co Dien Chau looked at me with an expressionless face, without reaction. Okay, just a little panic. I breathed a sigh of relief. 【Maybe I'm thinking too much, after all, who can hear a child's heart, this is not a novel...】 The corner of Co Dien Chau's lips twitched. Me: ………… Coincidence. Definitely a coincidence. I decided to check one last time. 【If you hear me, blink three times.】 One second. Two seconds. Three seconds. Co Dien Chau still had no expression. I am completely assured. As expected, I thought a lot, how could such a supernatural phenomenon be possible— He suddenly bowed his head, leaned close to my ear, his voice was so low that only I could hear: "Is twice enough?" My whole body stiffened. 【Damn—】“Pay attention to word usage.” His voice was calm, “You've just been born.” My mind exploded with a buzzing sound. Done. It's done. He really heard it. So the words I just said— Three brothers who are not biological children— My mother had an affair during the marriage— Ex-boyfriend, driver, housekeeper— Have you heard it all?? I looked at Co Dien Chau's face at this time, and only had one thought: 【Are you about to become an orphan as soon as you're born?】“No.” He calmly said, “You are my biological son.” The meaning was beyond words—it was difficult for others to say. I want to cry. Really want to cry. How long ago was I born? Ten minutes? Did I throw a nuclear bomb into the house? Co Dien Chau handed me to the nanny next to me, a gentle and elegant smile restored to her face. But I noticed that when he turned around, the corners of his lips had almost no curl at all. He walked to the door of the delivery room and said a word to the butler waiting outside. The voice wasn't loud, but my ears were strangely sensitive: "Old Tran." "General Manager Co." The butler immediately bowed his back. "Let's go investigate something." "You just say it." "The DNA of everyone in the house, do a comprehensive comparison." The butler was stunned for a second: "Everyone?" "Everyone." Co Dien Chau repeated once, without any hesitation in his voice, "Especially the three older children." "This..." Old Tran hesitated for a moment, "The lady's side—" "Don't let her know." "Yes." The door closed. I lay on the babysitter's lap, my two little feet kicking in the diaper. Mind is empty. Then a thought popped out: 【Does that count as the day I was born that I betrayed my mother?】 In the distance, Co Dien Chau had reached the end of the hallway and then stopped. Then keep going. Don't turn around. But I always felt that his back carried an indescribable look of desolation. Also carries a trace of killing intent. Me: 【Sorry dad, I didn't mean it.】 No response. The only sound was the elevator door at the end of the hallway opening and closing. I closed my eyes and decided to get some sleep first. After all, I had just been born. This bloody family morality play is not something a newborn should worry about. As for what will happen to my mother— To be honest, it has nothing to do with me. She gave birth to three other people's children and remained peacefully as the richest man's wife for more than twenty years. Being able to hide it for so long shows that your class is not low. But she couldn't figure out one thing. Her fourth child—the only biological child— Again

is a traitor. A traitor had just been born and had leaked all the intelligence. Moreover, it is passive. I really didn't mean it! Who would have thought that this richest father would hear the heart of a newborn baby? This is not scientific. But time travel itself is not scientific. Well, don't think anymore. Sleep first. Continue counting tomorrow. If there is still tomorrow. 【Chapter 2】 Three days later. I lay on the small bed in the baby's room, living my life like a pig. Eat then sleep, sleep then eat. Occasionally, after crying for two hours, the babysitter will immediately run to feed, change diapers, and pick him up to comfort him. Honestly, the experience of being a newborn was pretty good. Besides not being able to play on the phone which makes me miserable, everything else is pretty good. At least there's no need for overtime anymore. During these three days, Co Dien Chau visited me twice. Every time he came, he would hold me and sit for a while, not saying anything, just looking at me like that. Eyes are very complicated. There was love, there was scrutiny, there was also something—I'm not sure—like waiting for something. I know what you're waiting for. He was waiting for me to continue speaking. But I have wised up. The lesson from the first day of birth is so profound. Now I don't dare to think about anything. As soon as I think of something, I immediately stop: 【Can't say can't say can't say—】 Every time Co Dien Chau comes, I play children's music over and over again in my head. 【Two tigers two tigers run really fast, run really fast—】 One time he kept listening, the corner of his mouth twitched several times. Put me down and leave. I felt like maybe he thought there was a problem with my intelligence. But it's okay. A problematic intelligence is better than an unprotected mouth. I understand too well—the amount of information in my head, every single thing is a bomb capable of toppling this family. If I can't control it and accidentally say something... No, it's not a slip of the tongue, but a slip of thought. Even scarier. Because people cannot control themselves from thinking about certain things. The more I tell myself not to think about elephants, the more my mind is filled with elephants. So I can only use other things to fill my thoughts. The two tigers were the straw that saved my life. Until Wednesday. My mother came. To Uyen Ninh. She wore a goose-yellow silk nightgown, her hair tied up in a bun, and delicate, gentle makeup on her face. Just four days after giving birth, she looked like she had just returned from a spa treatment. The beauty foundation is really very good. She walked over, bent down to look at me, smiled gently and lovingly. "Nien An, my little treasure." She reached out and pinched my cheek. The fingertips are cool, carrying the scent of perfume. I looked at her exquisite face, the first thought in my mind was— 【Is this the woman who catches fish with four hands at the same time?】 As soon as the thought popped out, I regretted it. Hastily saved in my mind: 【Two tigers two tigers ran fast—】 But it was too late. Because out of the corner of my eye I saw someone standing at the door. Late Dien Chau. He leaned against the door frame, folded his arms in front of his chest, and looked expressionless in this direction. Done. You heard it. The three words "four boats" pierced his heart precisely. I saw his eyes darken. To Uyen Ninh was still completely unaware, picked me up and gently shook me: "The baby is so good, don't cry, don't bother." She raised her head to see Co Dien Chau, her smile became a little gentler: "Dien Chau, are you coming too?" "Yes." Co Dien Chau walked over, his expression as usual, "Come visit him." He took me from To Uyen Ninh's hand, his movements were very natural. But I noticed one detail— When he acknowledged me, his fingers never touched To Uyen Ninh. Not even one finger. It's intentionally avoiding it.
