Chapter 2After Being Reborn, I Chose to Inherit the Family Fortune

I turned to Grandma, feigning innocence, and asked:

"Grandma, why does Mom insist on taking Ethan? Doesn't raising a child cost a lot of money? But Mom doesn't even have a job, where will the money come from?"

Hearing my words, Grandma stared at me deeply for a long time. She didn't answer my question, but muttered to herself:

"I didn't expect the one who stayed would be the one who uses his brain."

After Mom took Ethan away, Grandma immediately contacted the lawyer. Ethan's name was completely erased from the list of family estate heirs.

In my previous life, Mom remarried an unknown director named Steve after taking me with her. After their marriage, I was quickly packaged as a celebrity and debuted.

Although I was only seventeen, I was marketed as a sexy male star.

Combined with my status as the heir of the He family, I attracted a lot of attention as soon as I debuted.

With my innocent puppy face and toned body, plus excellent singing, dancing, and acting skills, I quickly grew into a popular young actor in just a few years.

I had endless acting offers and so many product endorsements that I couldn't keep up. I became the cash cow for Mom and Steve.

Besides filming and attending events, I also had to participate in various dinner parties and social gatherings.

There were always some creepy rich women at these parties who would say all sorts of vulgar things to me, and some would even get handsy.

After the news of Ethan apologizing to the billionaire's son-in-law at the press conference went viral, their behavior became even more outrageous.

They would say things like:

"Why did your grandma kick you out of the family? What shameful thing did you do to the rich family?"

"Your brother could be a rich man's boy toy, what's stopping you? Too bad I haven't played with rich brothers before."

"It's just a bit more expensive than regular male celebrities. Name your price, how much to sleep with me for a night?"

It was through their mouths that I learned about Ethan's recent situation.

I originally went to help him out of brotherly love, but I didn't expect to be dragged down the path of death by him in return.

As I was dying, I cursed the heavens for being blind, for my good intentions had not been rewarded.

Now that I've come back to life, I want to apologize to the heavens for my words.

Who says good intentions aren't rewarded? Who says the heavens are blind?

The heavens have excellent vision indeed!

After Mom took Ethan away, just like in my previous life, he was quickly packaged as a celebrity and debuted.

Perhaps because Ethan was too young, Mom arranged for him to go with a pure and innocent boy image.

At his debut press conference, with his young face and wearing revealing clothes that showed off his chest muscles, his every move exuded a flirtatious aura. He said:

"Although I come from a wealthy family, I really love the entertainment industry."

"I hope that through my own efforts, I can encourage boys to confidently show off their bodies."

"Grandma also supports my choice. I hope everyone will support and pay attention to me in the future!"

Hmm, exactly the same lines they had prepared for me in my previous life.

Thinking carefully, whether it's a bad boy image or an inspirational boy image, these lines could work for either.

It's really a case of changing faces but keeping the same script.

"He family young master debuts" and "Breaking clothing shame" quickly became trending topics. Ethan's debut press conference received extremely high attention.

I smirked while holding my phone, then turned and walked towards Grandma's room.

Grandma was old and had little contact with the online world, so she naturally wouldn't know what kind of farce Ethan had staged.

The people below her wouldn't dare to tell her about this kind of news either.

In my previous life, when Grandma found out that I had become a male star with a sexy image, she was furious.

But by that time, I had already made a name for myself in the entertainment industry and had considerable commercial value. I also had a very professional PR team around me.

With their help, even when Grandma issued a statement claiming to sever ties with me, I was able to counter it effortlessly.

Grandma was portrayed as an unreasonable and old-fashioned rich old lady, while I became the brave grandson who refused to bow down for the sake of his dreams.

Plus, when Mom jumped out to say how many rules Grandma had and how difficult she was to get along with, how she kicked us out and stripped me of my inheritance rights, so I had to work hard to earn money to support the family, etc., deliberately creating a disadvantaged position to gain sympathy from netizens.

Under the guidance of the PR team, I became the epitome of the "poor little rich boy", and my popularity soared even higher, making my image even more relatable.

But now, Ethan had just debuted and absolutely couldn't withstand Grandma's heavy blow.
