Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, the only purpose of this article is:

Rather than mentally exhausting yourself, it's better to go crazy and exhaust others.

6 PM, Su Family Villa.

The living room, usually filled with laughter and liveliness, was now filled with oppressive silence, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Su Chen, who was usually ignored by the Su family, or if seen, was pretended not to be, was now the center of attention.

"Su Chen, why are you so disappointing?"

"Su Chen, you are the son of Hai City's richest man now, not an orphan from the orphanage. How can you not change your petty thieving habit?!"

"Su Chen, hurry up and return the watch you stole from me!"

"Who doesn't know that you're the only one in this family with this sneaky habit?!"

"Why are you still being stubborn?! Why are you still being stubborn?!"

The middle-aged man in front of him, with a furious expression and disappointment in his eyes, was yelling at Su Chen.

Su Chen, standing in the middle of the living room being scolded, had a dazed look in his eyes.

"Exactly, Su Chen, who doesn't know that you're the only one in this family who steals? Before you returned to the Su family, nothing in the house was ever lost."

"You still won't admit it?!"

"Even if you don't admit it, we all know it was you who stole Dad's watch!"

"Dad's watch is a Patek Philippe, worth over a million yuan. You must have never seen such an expensive watch before, so you stole it."

A cute young girl with a bun, sweet makeup, and a designer dress looked at Su Chen with a disdainful sneer, curling her lips and mocking him.

However, Su Chen didn't have the energy to pay attention to the girl's words.

Su Chen was looking around. Was this the Chinese New Year in the second year after he returned to the Su family from the orphanage?!

Had he been reborn?!

Looking at the Su family members surrounding him, mocking and looking down on him, Su Chen was sure that he had been reborn.

"Su Chen, be good, just take out your dad's watch and return it to your dad."

"Su Chen, don't worry, we won't blame you."

A classical beauty, a middle-aged woman wearing a Chinese cheongsam with her hair styled and adorned with a jade hairpin, gently persuaded Su Chen.

"Yeah, Brother, we all know you, we just haven't seen such an expensive watch before."

"Just return the watch to Dad, we definitely won't blame you."

A handsome young man, dressed exquisitely and of a similar age to Su Chen, with a face full of worry and understanding, persuaded Su Chen.

The middle-aged man was named Su Zhenxing, his biological father and the head of the Su family, Hai City's richest man. He had always been a man of his word, holding authority both in society and at home.

The other cute, beautiful young girl who had just spoken was Su Qiqi, Su Chen's second sister. She was a painter and the one in the Su family who looked down on Su Chen the most.

The gentle, middle-aged beauty persuading Su Chen was Su Chen's biological mother, Liu Yanran. She hailed from another wealthy family in Hai City, the Liu family. She was in a commercial marriage with Su Zhenxing and they had two daughters and one son.

And the young man worrying and persuading Su Chen was Su Chen's younger brother, Su Mu. A rich second-generation heir, he was handsome and tall, with excellent grades, a perfect specimen of a favored son of heaven.

Sitting next to Liu Yanran was a beautiful, sharp-featured young woman wearing a well-tailored suit and a short haircut. She was frowning and looking at Su Chen with disdain.

This woman was Su Chen's eldest sister, Su Lili. With the support of her father, Su Zhenxing, she had successfully founded her own clothing brand and was a rising star in Hai City's business world.

In his previous life, it was on this very day that Su Chen was falsely accused of stealing his father Su Zhenxing's watch. Su Chen repeatedly explained, desperately explained that he hadn't stolen his father's watch, but no one believed him.

In his previous life, from this day forward, Su Chen was branded a "thief." Whether at school or after graduating into society, due to the constant reminders from the Su family, Su Chen never managed to shake off this "thief" label.

Later, Su Chen learned that this entire scene was just a play orchestrated by his second sister, Su Qiqi, with the sole purpose of making the Su family dislike him even more.

But by the time Su Chen realized this, it was already too late.

Everyone was convinced that Su Chen was a thief.

Ultimately, the Su Chen of his previous life became someone everyone looked down upon, hated, and avoided. He had no career, no marriage, and eventually died of depression at the age of forty.

After his death, Su Chen's soul lingered. He lived through a hundred years, witnessing all sorts of human conditions.

It was during those hundred years that Su Chen understood that a person's life shouldn't be lived like his own.

The Su Chen of his previous life was too consumed by internal struggles.

But after experiencing those hundred years of human conditions, Su Chen's mindset changed.

Instead of exhausting himself internally, he decided to go mad and exhaust others externally.

The Su Chen of his previous life at this moment only knew how to desperately explain that he hadn't stolen his father's watch.

But the current Su Chen...

He leaped three feet into the air, shaking his head vigorously, his face contorted as he glared at the Su family members surrounding him, roaring.

"Who? Who said I stole the watch?!"

"Who saw it?!"

"Who saw it?!"

"Stand up, come, come, confront me, come on! Come on!"

The Su family members recoiled in shock at Su Chen's reaction.

The Su family members were all startled.

What was wrong with Su Chen?!

Su Chen had been reprimanded like this before, but he had never reacted like this!

Besides, what kind of reaction was this from Su Chen?!

Why was he acting so crazy?!

Su Zhenxing, who had recovered, was furious. He pointed at Su Chen and yelled, "Rebellious son! Rebellious son!"

"Su Chen, you rebellious son! What are you doing?!"

"Are you pretending to be crazy?!"

"Rebellious son, do you think you can get away with it by pretending to be crazy?!"

"Rebellious son, hand over the watch quickly, pretending to be crazy is useless!"

Heh, why should I bother with him? In the end, they still think I stole the watch.

Su Chen of this life would no longer allow these people to label him a thief.

Su Chen completely ignored Su Zhenxing and continued to jump around, twisting his face and roaring ferociously.

"Don't avoid my question!"

"Just answer my question!"

"Who?! Who said I stole the watch?! Who saw it?!"

"Stand up and confront me!"

"Otherwise, you are slandering me! Slandering me!"

After Su Zhenxing's loud scolding, the rest of the Su family also came to their senses.

Su Qiqi looked at Su Chen with a sideways glance, even more disdainful of his act of feigning madness. Her mouth was twisted to the side.

"Su Chen, in this family, besides you, no one else would steal Dad's watch. After all,"

Su Qiqi raised her hand and deliberately showed Su Chen her pink Patek Philippe watch, saying proudly, "After all, we all have Patek Philippe watches."

"Only you, Su Chen, have never seen such an expensive watch."

"Therefore, only you would steal Dad's watch."

Good. Su Chen was just thinking about how to turn the tables on Su Qiqi, who had framed him. He hadn't expected Su Qiqi to walk right into his trap.

He had to admit, Su Qiqi was quite considerate at times.

Su Chen leaped in front of Su Qiqi, grabbed her shoulders with both hands, and shook her violently while staring fiercely into her eyes, roaring:

"It was you! It was you, Su Qiqi, you framed me for stealing the watch, didn't you?!"

"I ask you, which eye saw me steal the watch, hmm?!"

"When did I steal it?!"

"Which hand did I use to steal it?!"

"Speak! Answer me! Confront me!"
