C1 Passing Through the Humble Class

The night wind blew, and the wind was bone-piercing.

Bai Li tightly held onto a diary and was forced to the side of the river by this man who claimed to be her fiancé.

Half an hour ago, she had been the champion of the World Food Competition and had made a considerable investment. This amount of money was enough to revitalize the reputation of the Bai Family's ancestral industry, 'Fann House'.

Heh, what a joke.

"Li'er, only I can save you now. Give me the legendary recipe, and when I revive the judges, you'll be fine."

The man was still glibly moving closer and closer to her.

However, the worry on his face was not because of her at all. His feelings, his proximity, his marriage proposal were all for this diary.

Knowing that he couldn't escape anymore, Bai Li pursed his lips, his heart was like a fine powder that had been smashed into smithereens.

The diary was written by Bai Wei, the ancestor of the Bai Clan. She created the Bai Clan's cuisine department, established the Fann House, and became famous throughout the world. Although the Bai Clan had been depressed ever since she died, she was still the most revered person in Bai Li's heart.

The legendary dish that the scumbag man had mentioned, however, Bai Wei had occasionally mentioned it in her diary —

Legends said that it could reverse the Karma of life and death, and could reverse the flow of time!

Resurrection?

That was why he had tried to use her to poison the judges and force her to take out the legendary recipe in order to save his reputation and his innocence?

Not to mention that she didn't even know the legendary recipe, even if she did, she definitely wouldn't do as the scumbag wanted!

Bai Li took out his phone, turned on the video camera, and sent his last words to his Wechat Moments.

"My dear, don't feel too guilty. I know that you poisoned me for my sake. Although you mistakenly made me a murderer, I am willing to sacrifice my life for you."

If she were to die, he wouldn't be able to escape!

Under the terrified gaze of the dregs, a cold smile appeared on Bai Li's face as his gaze turned resolute.

He turned around and dived into the ice-cold, bone-piercing river water with a splash!

Qingzhou City, New Year's Eve.

It was not yet the hour before midnight when the sky began to darken and the firecrackers outside the door began to crackle.

It had already been half a month since Bai Li came to this world. The original owner's name was Gu Donglee, and she was the daughter of a poor family member. She was only thirteen years old this year.

After inheriting all of Gu Donglee's memories, she was actually Gu Donglee herself.

In this half a month, she had already figured out where she was. Although she was surprised, she still accepted it.

The place she was in, was precisely the place where ancestor Bai Wei resided seven hundred years ago!

In here, there was also Fann House, and naturally there was also Bai Wei.

Since she was reborn here, it must be the will of heaven for Bai Wei to come here for Fann House. It was just that before she could even see Bai Wei, she was about to starve to death in this Humble Class house …

Gu Donglee's father was an extra son-in-law, and her mother, Mrs. Gu and Third Uncle's family, had raised an old couple.

Elder Gu was an old Elementary Scholar and had not been a High Scholar for half his life. His maternal mother Mrs. Lin was also very biased towards her youngest son.

Third Uncle borrowed some money and was in debt. He abandoned his wife and children and hid in the temple. His mother forced Gu Donglee's family to pay for him.

It was already the thirtieth of the new year, yet there was not a single grain of rice in the house!

Smoke rose from the kitchen of the house next door. Gu Donglee looked at her mother who could only sigh towards the cold stove in the empty pot. She felt upset.

The family can sell everything, now early clear of chestnuts, no New Year goods, not even a decent rice.

The sound of chopping chopping chopping chopping came from the other side of the room, and the fragrance of meat wafted over —

At this time, everyone else had already paid their respects and were busy chopping meat and cutting vegetables in preparation for their New Year's Eve meal.

Mother was afraid that there would be no chopping block at home and would be teased tomorrow. She could only wipe away her tears as she raised her kitchen knife and slashed at the empty chopping block.

Gu Donglee stepped forward and slowly comforted her,

"Mom, dad went out to look for work, so he'll definitely be able to earn some New Year stuff to celebrate. I'll go out to look for him now, maybe he'll have too many things that he can't bring home by himself!"

Looking at the final glimmer of hope in Mrs. Gu's eyes, Gu Donglee gritted her teeth as she thought to herself.

'Even if dad doesn't get the money, she'll have to help the family think of a way. At the very least, she'll have to pass the New Year! '
