"Mom, do I really have to give my room to Li Yi?"

Lu Junjia clung to Qiao Xinyue's arm, looking aggrieved. "I have so many clothes and toys in my room. If I switch rooms, there won't be anywhere to put them."

"No, we're not switching!" Qiao Xinyue patted Lu Junjia's hand reassuringly. "Let's see who dares make him switch!"

"If you don't switch, who knows what trouble that ungrateful son will cause tomorrow," Lu Hongshen said disapprovingly. "It's just a room, isn't it? There are so many rooms in the house. Just knock two rooms into one and build Junjia a walk-in closet inside.

There are only a few months left. Just put up with it."

"Why should we have to put up with it? Give in today, and tomorrow he'll walk all over me!" Qiao Xinyue snapped. "We're not switching. Let's see what he can do tomorrow!"

"Mom, you're so good to me." Lu Junjia looked at Qiao Xinyue with gratitude in his eyes, while inwardly anticipating Li Yi's disappointment tomorrow with smug delight.

Having her son depend on her like this greatly satisfied Qiao Xinyue's vanity. She lifted her chin at Lu Hongshen. "Stay out of this. It's not like you've ever bothered with household matters anyway."

"Fine, I'll stay out of it." Lu Hongshen also wanted to test Li Yi's limits.

Li Yi returned to his room and opened the new notebook he had bought while passing a bookstore.

He solemnly wrote down the date of his death: June 18, two years from now.

It was also his birthday.

He was going to change his fate that day!

Next, he wrote down what he wanted to do after his rebirth. First was preventing the deaths of the elderly men and women at the nursing home.

Then came taking revenge on the Lu family and that scumbag Zhou Xuanze.

He wrote down their names one by one.

When he finished taking revenge on someone, he would check off their name. These were his objectives for the next two years!

There was also Shi Yan. Li Yi tapped that name with his pen. He had never met this person in his previous life.

But the novel said that Shi Yan had arranged his funeral and even chosen a very expensive burial plot.

Although they had never met, this man had given him a proper burial. He was a good person.

I'll repay him if I get the chance.

That left his college applications. Although the scores weren't out yet, he knew his score and wasn't worried at all. Now he just needed to keep his exam admission information safe.

This time, he wanted to apply for artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence was the hardest major to get into at Beiqing University, but his score was just high enough.

In the future, artificial intelligence would be a booming field. The eldest son of the Lu family worked in that field. He had even studied in Germany and now had a company there too.

Lu Shixuan was the eldest son Lu Hongshen took such pride in. Then Li Yi would destroy him in that very same field.

As for the rest of the Lu family, he would crush them one by one in the fields they took the most pride in!

That would be the best revenge against them!

Early the next morning, Li Yi went to the dining room.

The household servants had already prepared breakfast.

Without greeting anyone, he began helping himself to shrimp dumplings. The Lu family had never waited for him, so he had no reason to wait for them.

"Young Master Li, those shrimp dumplings are the young master's favorite. You..." Aunt Liu looked as though she wanted to say something but didn't dare.

"Perfect. I like shrimp dumplings too." With a few flicks of his chopsticks, Li Yi took half the shrimp dumplings, then helped himself to a bowl of milky corn oatmeal.

"Aunt Liu, bring me a few soup dumplings, and a serving each of the egg rolls and rice noodle rolls."

Since he couldn't carry everything in one hand, he ordered Aunt Liu to bring them. Seeing her look so aggrieved put him in an especially good mood.

As soon as Aunt Liu set down what he had asked for, Li Yi spoke again. "Has Lu Junjia's room been cleared out?"

"The young master isn't up yet," Aunt Liu said quietly.

"If he isn't up, can't you wake him?" Looking thoroughly displeased, Li Yi pointed his chopsticks at Aunt Liu with a shrimp dumpling between his teeth. "Go wake him now and clear out the room for me. I'm moving into my new room today."

"But..." Aunt Liu dared neither refuse nor agree. Catching sight of someone coming downstairs, she hurriedly called, "Madam."

"Mm." Qiao Xinyue came down at a leisurely pace and sat at the table.

Seeing that the breakfast dishes on the table had all been touched, she immediately raised her eyes to Li Yi.

Disgust and disdain filled her eyes, but she quickly forced them down. Picking up her chopsticks, she said as though nothing were wrong, "Junjia isn't feeling well today."

"Oh." Li Yi slurped his porridge, deliberately making a great deal of noise.

Qiao Xinyue lost her composure and slapped her chopsticks onto the table. "You hit your brother and made him sick, and you don't feel the slightest bit guilty? How can you be so shameless!"

Li Yi instantly looked up, half an egg roll still between his teeth. Chewing as he spoke, he said, "One slap made him sick? Back then, you beat me so badly I had to stay in bed recovering for days.

Did you feel guilty?

Did you have any shame?"

He smiled. "Or do you only care about your adopted son and not care at all about me, your biological son?"

"You... how can you compare yourself to Junjia? He's been frail since childhood and has never suffered any hardship. That slap of yours..." Li Yi cut her off before she could finish.

"What the hell does his health have to do with me? He's not my son. Why should I care whether he's healthy or not? I hit him, and that's that. You won't get any guilt from me. Or if you want him to get slapped again, keep talking."

"You..." Qiao Xinyue was too furious to speak. Clutching her chest, she glared at him. If not for the old man's shares, she would have beaten this ungrateful son to death right then.

Seeing Qiao Xinyue thwarted made the shrimp dumplings taste even better to Li Yi. He ate them one after another, stuffing his mouth full, then finally leaned back in his chair and gave a satisfied burp.

"Aunt Liu, hurry up and wake Lu Junjia. Have him clear out the room for me."

"Young Master Li..." Aunt Liu didn't move. She looked at Qiao Xinyue beside her. "Madam, should I wake the young master now?"

"Wake him for what? Didn't you hear me say Junjia isn't feeling well?" With her little finger raised, Qiao Xinyue elegantly scooped up some porridge, blew on it, and slowly took a sip.

Seeing this, Li Yi understood. They had no intention of switching his room.

Got it!

Li Yi stood and left the dining table.

"And here I thought he had some tricks up his sleeve. He's still just like before, with no choice but to swallow his grievances." Qiao Xinyue smugly blew on the porridge in her spoon.

"You're impressive as always, Madam." Aunt Liu raised a thumb in flattery.

"A brat who's only just come of age, daring to throw his weight around in front of me. He needs to be taught a lesson!"

Looking certain of victory, Qiao Xinyue picked up a fresh pair of chopsticks and took a shrimp dumpling. Just as she was about to put it in her mouth, she heard a commotion upstairs.

Bang!

The fright made her hand shake, and the shrimp dumpling fell straight onto the table.
