If You Don't Want to Eat, Then None of You Can Eat

Jiang Zhihe froze when he heard this, seemingly never expecting his eldest son to dare defy him.

Once he came to his senses, he flew into a rage and raised his hand to slap Jiang Fan across the face.

At that moment, his younger brother Jiang Li's timid voice drifted over.

"Dad, don't blame Big Brother!"

"Big Brother still has one awakening opportunity left. Just let him use it."

"Besides, Big Brother is right. I can try to earn my chance through the academic examination."

"Although it will be a little more tiring and take a little more time, I believe Big Brother can do it, and I definitely can too!"

Jiang Li's silence would have been better, but the moment he spoke, Jiang Zhihe became even angrier.

"Look! Look!"

"A-Li is two years younger than you, yet he's more sensible than you and more considerate!"

Jiang Fan let out a cold laugh when he heard this.

"Heh."

"He's considerate, is he? Then let him take the exam himself!"

"Why are you all making such a fuss with me?"

As he spoke, a mocking look appeared on Jiang Fan's face.

"However, I still need to correct one thing!"

"It's not that you're letting me use it!"

"This was mine to begin with. I can use it however I want!"

"Just as you said, even if I poured it into the toilet, that would still be my right. No one has the right to point fingers!"

At that moment, Jiang Fan's heart was icy cold.

Although he had transmigrated here, he had inherited all of the original owner's memories.

From childhood until now, everything in this family had always revolved around his younger brother.

As the eldest son of the family, he should have enjoyed better treatment.

But in reality, the exact opposite was true!

When they were children, his younger brother had accidentally fallen off the sofa while playing. Just because Jiang Fan had been beside him, they had decided that Jiang Fan had deliberately pushed him, then immediately beaten and berated him.

When he was in elementary school, whenever there was a new toy, it was always given to his younger brother first. Only after his brother had grown tired of it would Jiang Fan get the chance to touch it.

After he entered middle school, because his younger brother ate and drank well every day and had nearly caught up with him in height, Jiang Fan never wore new clothes again.

In high school, his younger brother stole money from the family to fool around with delinquents outside. After being discovered, he threw the blame onto Jiang Fan. Based solely on his younger brother's one-sided words, their parents immediately beat and berated Jiang Fan without distinguishing right from wrong.

To earn the attention of Jiang Zhihe and Su Xin, he studied desperately and came first in his grade every single time.

But no matter how good his grades were, they turned a blind eye.

Now they had gone even further. For the sake of that so-called younger brother, they actually wanted to seize the gene potion he had worked so hard to obtain. Surely there could not be parents like this anywhere else in the world, right?

Sometimes, he even suspected he was not their biological son!

His younger brother was clearly the one at fault first, so why did they always make him pay the bill?

This was clearly his own possession, so why should he give it to his younger brother?

"Today, you will give it to me whether you want to or not!"

"Otherwise, don't even think about entering this house again!"

Jiang Zhihe spoke with a gloomy expression.

Jiang Fan gave him a slightly mocking look.

"What? Since you can't persuade me, are you planning to take it by force?"

Jiang Zhihe seemed to have been stabbed by those words, and his hands, already stretched out, froze in midair.

The words "take it by force" made him feel irritated. He hesitated over whether he should accept that label.

"Fan-Fan, your father doesn't mean it that way. He's doing this so the Lineage can prosper!"

"Although your eldest sister is said to have excellent talent, she's still a girl. In the end, this family will still have to rely on you and your younger brother!"

"And you..."

Su Xin's seemingly timid words were like a soft knife, stabbing straight into Jiang Fan's heart.

Heh. Can't bring himself to say the word "useless"?

For the sake of the Lineage's prosperity? For my own good?

Compared to Jiang Zhihe, he hated this so-called mother even more. She appeared to treat everyone fairly, but what she did was utterly despicable!

Whenever Jiang Zhihe flew into a rage and beat him, she seemed to stand to the side and urge him to calm down, but she never truly tried to stop him.

Sometimes, her words even added fuel to the fire!

Jiang Fan felt deeply indignant on behalf of his predecessor.

He had originally planned to tough it out here a little longer, but at this moment, he could not endure it any longer.

"Stop dreaming. I'm not giving this gene potion away!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Jiang Zhihe.

"If you insist on snatching it, that's fine. But if you accidentally drop it on the floor while you're doing so..."

Jiang Fan did not finish, but his meaning was perfectly clear: if they tried to take it by force, he would smash it.

Jiang Zhihe slammed his palm onto the table.

"Do you dare?"

The impact made all the dishes on the dining table jump, and some soup spilled from the bowls.

"Why don't you try me?"

As Jiang Fan spoke, he had already raised the gene potion high in his hand.

In an instant, the other three people in the room stared at it wide-eyed.

This was an incomparably precious Level One gene potion!

In Blue Star's martial arts system, an awakening potion was used to activate a person's innate talent. Only after awakening could one cultivate to become an apprentice Martial Artist.

After that, further advancement required a gene potion to unlock the human genetic lock. This bottle of Level One gene potion could guarantee unobstructed breakthroughs before reaching a third-grade Martial Artist.

Although they were a branch of the Jiang Family, they had already fallen into decline after living in River City for so many years. The Jiang Family could afford this bottle of Level One gene potion, but it would still cost Jiang Zhihe a considerable sum.

Now that Jiang Fan was about to smash the bottle of gene potion, how could they possibly be willing to accept it?

"Fan-Fan, don't get worked up! Don't get worked up!"

"Hurry and put it away! Eat first!"

"We're all family. Don't make things unpleasant!"

As she spoke, Su Xin pulled Jiang Fan down at the dining table and fawningly piled all kinds of sumptuous dishes into his bowl.

"Here, here, try this rib soup your mother stewed. Hurry and have a taste!"

Jiang Fan coldly watched everything unfold. Seeing Su Xin's fawning expression, he suddenly found it utterly laughable.

After all these years, this was the first time she had ever lowered herself before him—and she was doing it for Jiang Li.

Beside him, Jiang Zhihe and Jiang Li stared fixedly at him, as though they regarded him as an enemy they hated to the bone.

Jiang Fan suddenly felt a little sad and bored on behalf of his predecessor. After taking a sip of the rib soup, he abruptly set down his bowl and chopsticks.

It was good soup, but not a flavor he liked.

"What? The food isn't to your liking?"

"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat!"

Jiang Zhihe shot Jiang Fan an annoyed look and snorted.

Jiang Fan gave him a bland glance and stood up.

All of a sudden, he reached beneath the dining table and gave it a violent heave.

The entire dining table overturned, and the food and tableware instantly scattered across the floor.

"Then none of you can fucking eat!"
