Chapter 2: Is this considered being driven out of one's own home?

  Li Shenglin had a very long dream, possibly stimulated by his girlfriend and Li Shengji. In the dream, he became a Korean, still named Li Shenglin, born in 1989, and flew around Japan and Europe with his parents since childhood.

  Myself in the dream is a 17-year-old half-grown kid, which is 18 years old by Korean calculation, rebellious, fighting, tattooed, and still a trainee of YG company!

  Trainee? What the heck is that, I think it's a term my ex-girlfriend used to say, didn't expect my subconscious to still remember it. But after all, it was just a dream, what company would be called YG anyway?

  My family is a scholarly one, my grandfather was a physics professor, my father followed in his footsteps and not only became a physics professor but also a fairy tale writer and cartoonist, my mother is a ceramic artist. I really don't know how such a family produced someone like me who is so unconventional, so disobedient, and doesn't cherish their family, Li Shenglin scolded himself severely in his dream.

  However, there is not only himself, but also a two-year-old younger sister named Li Cailin (the future captain of E1 team), and as soon as he thinks of his sister, Li Shenglin shudders, seemingly having been bullied by his sister since childhood. What an extraordinary strong woman! It's really unknown how she grew up......

  Luckily, there's another little sister who is 7 years old, Li Xiaolin, a well-behaved and sensible kid, inherited the family temperament, studying abroad...

  ......

  Li Shenglin's consciousness returned from his dream, ah, it's been a long time since he drank so much, it's really uncomfortable, not only is his head hurting, but his body also hurts, just like when he was stabbed with a knife for fighting over territory.

  The door opened, and it seemed like I was in a hospital... A middle-aged couple came in, the man wasn't particularly handsome, but there was an air about him that made Li Shenglin's heart skip a beat. The woman must be a teacher, otherwise why would I be so scared? But she looked familiar, my junior high school teacher?

  The woman was very beautiful, with an artistic temperament, gentle and elegant. She looked familiar. Just as Li Shenglin was sizing up the couple, the noblewoman who had been crying red-eyed for her son's sake rushed over, "Shenglin, you're awake?"

  Isn't this nonsense? However, are we familiar with each other to this extent, Auntie? Looking at the aunt who kept touching herself, Li Shenglin couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust. Didn't you see that your husband's face has turned ugly?...

  "Mom, I'm fine!" The words were on the tip of my tongue when Li Shenglin froze. What I said seemed to be in Korean... and I naturally called this aunt "mom". If I looked closely, she seemed just like my mom from my dreams. And that person over there with a pale face and complex, deep eyes was my dad?

  What's going on? Why can't I wake up from this dream? Is it like the time-traveling thing I mentioned to myself while killing time in a coffee shop?

  "Nothing's wrong? You little stinker, I'm telling you, things are serious. Those people who fought with you, three were seriously injured, two lightly injured, and two had their tendons broken. Three more were knocked unconscious, with moderate concussion, don't know if there will be any aftereffects. The three of you are quite something..."

  Listening to his father's words, Li Shenglin's memories came alive again. He recalled how he and his two good friends, Cui Zhi Zhong and Hong Canmin, had gone dancing at a nightclub to celebrate his birthday. Then, Canmin had taken a liking to a young woman, but before he could make a move, the woman's boyfriend had arrived with a group of people to teach them a lesson.

  Don't look at their young age, there are only three of them, but they're still quite skilled. From the nightclub to the main street, then with the help of a narrow alley's geographical advantage and stolen baseball bats and machetes, they had a final showdown. Although all three were injured, the other side was clearly worse off... Then the police came... They climbed over the wall and ran back home, passing out...

  "Hey, Dad, how are Chan-min and Ji-jong doing?"

  "Seriously injured, hospitalized, no formal detention, but must serve one year of supervised community service!"

  He let out a sigh of relief. It's all good, it's all good. Li Shenglin didn't have to go to jail, no matter which country, once you go in, you'll definitely lose a layer of skin when you come out.

  Lee Ki-joon has almost given up on his disappointing son, only hoping that he will have a grandson to satisfy himself. "Let's just end it like this for now, but you must learn from your mistakes and not do it again. Here is a 500 million won check, take it!"

  Taking the check handed over by his father, Li Shenglin was confused. This is 500 million, which is several hundred million in RMB. Why not only didn't he scold himself, but also gave such a big gift?

  Looking at his son's puzzled face, Li Jizhen was so angry that he couldn't speak, and said to his wife, "You talk to him, I'm going out for some fresh air!"

  Hong Youluo looked at her angry husband and also blamed their son, who was too heartless. "Shenglin, you've just passed your 18th birthday yesterday, don't forget the Li family rules!"

  What's the family rule? Oh, I see! Li Shenglin finally understands now!

  The Li family rules state that when a man reaches the age of seventeen, he will receive a sum of money from his family and then be driven out of the house. He is not allowed to return home within five years without permission.

  Secondly, within five years, no matter what method is used, as long as it's not illegal, the amount must be doubled, otherwise, you will be kicked out of the family.

  As for why he gave Li Shenglin 500 million, a not-so-low amount, it's because he wanted to raise Li Shenglin's great uncle. As an economist, through various analyses, considering inflation and future economic development speed, etc., he set this amount, making Li Shenglin feel depressed. You, an economics professor, back then it was only 10 million, right?

  "Ah, Shenglin..." Looking at his mother's hesitant expression, Li Shenglin felt a sense of unease.

  "Shenglin, after discussion with your grandfather, your uncle and your father, we have decided to add a new rule for you: within five years, you must bring back home a fiancée that we are satisfied with, then get married the following year, and the year after that, I can hold my grandson in my arms."

  Looking at his mother lost in fantasy, Li Shenglin was speechless, "You added this yourself, right..."

  Mom stopped, "Who said that, I just made a suggestion, your father and the others have always agreed..." The more she spoke, the softer her voice became...

  You're also embarrassed about it...

  "Oh, right, and you have to get into Sungkyunkwan University..." Hong Yoo-ra was a bit embarrassed, knowing her son's level herself, and with the trainee life, it was too hard to get into Sungkyunkwan University academically.

  It's a matter of life and death, "Mom, you know, I'm a trainee... My future dream is to go on stage..." What a ridiculous dream, not to mention the Li Shenglin from the previous generation, even this generation's Li Shenglin himself only used being a trainee as an excuse to skip class. It's really unknown how he was selected as a trainee in the first place. After half a day of grinding and reminiscing, Li Shenglin already knew what the deal with the trainees was.

  "Uh..." Looking at his hesitant mother, Li Shenglin was speechless. "What else is it?"

  "News came from YG saying you've already been kicked out?"

  "Why? How could this be?" Li Shenglin couldn't accept it, so how would he skip class in the future? Would he really have to attend Sungkyunkwan University? He wasn't that kind of material either...

  "Ah, isn't it because your fight was exposed..."

  "No way... YG is too powerful..."

  Hong Youlu didn't answer but instead took out his phone and opened a video titled "The First Work of My Newly Bought DV".

  Damn, what a despicable name! But after watching the video, Li Shenglin hated this guy to the extreme. You bastard, why did you take your girlfriend to a nightclub with a DV? Why are you so skilled at it? This guy who's playing with a DV, doesn't mention that his hands aren't shaking in this situation, and he can still run around while filming without the camera shaking. Oh my god, he even gave me a close-up shot, with his fiery red hair, wolf tattoo on his shoulder, and scars from past fights on his arm, all presented clearly on camera.

  Of course, what made Li Shenglin most angry was the comment below:

  The red-haired guy on the first floor is so strong, he knocked down six or seven people by himself.

  Second floor, what a handsome fart, too girly, right?

  Third floor, what's called "niang" is actually exquisite... I really like it

  Fourth floor, top

  Fifth floor, plus one

  ......

  N building, +861234567890

  In between, there were some people who seemed to be their three classmates, saying that I knew which one, but they were all beautifully ignored. Everyone was obviously more concerned about Li Shenglin's exquisite appearance and strong combat power... as well as the tattoos and scars that didn't match his appearance...

  This is probably the part of his current body that Li Shenglin is most dissatisfied with. As a ruffian, he wants to be overbearing and masculine. In his previous life, he looked down on those pretty boys, but now it's his turn. Alas, who made him take after his mother more? If only he took after his father more, being ugly wouldn't matter for a man.

  I don't know if his father found out about this, and I don't know if he would really give him a funeral where the white-haired person sends off the black-haired person.

  However, Li Shenglin didn't notice that there seemed to be a message from the video author in between: Congratulations to me, I have passed the interview and officially become an MBC VJ, thank you for your support, especially those who participated in the video...

  I don't know if Li Shenglin saw it, but he might spit blood...

  Now Li Shenglin is just a headache, this video has no excuse for skipping class, and the evaluation of his appearance. Later, when this video is turned out again, it will trigger a social public opinion storm because of ANTI.

  "By the way, mom, why must it be Chenggong University? Can't we aim a bit lower? Let's take a look at the video, but let's focus on the main issue."

  "Stinky brat, does that even need to be said?" Hong Youluo's face turned red with shyness, "Your dad and I met there too..."

  Got it...

  ......

  On July 26, 2006, after more than a month of hospitalization, Li Shenglin was finally discharged from the hospital without any sequelae. Of course, his body had more scars, especially a huge knife wound on his chest, which made him very satisfied. This is what a man's body should be like...

  In this more than a month's time, apart from parents, only Eldest Uncle and Eldest Sister Cai Lin came, others didn't let them know, afraid they would worry.

  The elder uncle didn't say anything else, he just hoped that Li Shenglin would be a good person from now on and complete the family task.

  As for her sister Li Cailin, she showed off her bold side, patted him on the shoulder and said "Well done, just like a man!" At the same time, she expressed her dissatisfaction with YG's expulsion of her brother, thinking that it was looking down on their family. She wanted to prove that the Li family had no useless people, so she also decided to go to YG for an audition as a trainee and become the most dazzling star. After all, because of her brother's reason, she had been submitting resumes for three consecutive years but hadn't been accepted.
