Family!

As Jiang Chen stepped into the familiar yet somewhat old-fashioned living room, the warmth of home instantly washed over him.

In the small kitchen, a woman with gentle features and a slightly tired expression was busy preparing breakfast.

It was his mother, Yang Mei.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile as he stepped forward and greeted her in a playful tone.

"Mom, did you miss me?"

Yang Mei turned around, slightly startled.

When she saw Jiang Chen standing there, her eyes softened with surprise and joy.

"You stinky brat, you finally remembered to come home, huh?" She teased with a smile.

Jiang Chen chuckled, "I was too afraid that once I left home, you'd secretly rent out my room."

Yang Mei burst into laughter, "If I did that, your sister would be the first to kick me out."

Jiang Xiaoyue, who was sitting on the couch playing with her phone, raised her head and shouted, "Exactly! My brother's room is sacred territory!"

The atmosphere was warm and light-hearted.

[Counterattack Money System Prompt]

[Ding!]

Target: Family Counterattack Mission Activated

Condition: Buy gifts for your mother and sister to gain their favour and unlock hidden background information.

Reward: Special Bloodline-related Hidden Reward + ¥10,000 Cashback

Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow as he glanced at the system prompt.

"Family Counterattack Mission, huh...?"

Although he didn't quite understand the "hidden background" part, he chose to accept the mission without hesitation.

After all, with the current amount of money in his account, buying a few gifts was nothing.

However, he didn't rush to complete the mission.

Instead, he casually sat down at the dining table and watched as his mother brought over a plate of freshly steamed buns and porridge.

"Come, eat while it's hot," Yang Mei said warmly as she placed the dishes on the table.

Jiang Chen smiled and picked up a steam bun, taking a bite.

The familiar taste from his childhood made him feel an indescribable warmth in his heart.

"Mom, your cooking still tastes the best," Jiang Chen praised sincerely.

Yang Mei smiled helplessly. "Flattering me won't help you avoid my questions. Tell me, how's your college life going? Do you have a girlfriend yet?"

Cough!

Jiang Chen nearly choked on his porridge.

"Mom, why are you always asking about that?"

Jiang Xiaoyue giggled from the side, "Yeah, brother, you're already 20. If you don't hurry up, you'll be single for life."

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes. "You brat, you're only 16. What do you know about relationships?"

Jiang Xiaoyue pouted, "Hmph! I know more than you think. Unlike you, who's been rejected by the classroom belle Su Yan so many times..."

"..."

Jiang Chen's face darkened.

"Hey, hey, why are you suddenly bringing up my dark history?"

Yang Mei chuckled at their playful banter, but deep down, she felt a little relieved.

Her son had always been introverted and didn't like socialising.

Now that he had finally returned home, seeing him relaxed and cheerful put her heart at ease.

"Chen'er, you've been working hard in college. If there's anything troubling you, don't keep it to yourself," Yang Mei said softly.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.

For a moment, the memories of his previous life—where he struggled and suffered alone—flashed through his mind.

He looked at the gentle and caring woman in front of him...

And felt a deep sense of gratitude.

"Mom, don't worry. From now on... I'll make sure you and Xiaoyue live the best life," Jiang Chen said with a serious expression.

Yang Mei was surprised for a moment but then smiled warmly, "Silly boy, as long as you're happy, that's enough for me."

Jiang Xiaoyue, on the other hand, raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Brother, are you planning to suddenly get rich or something?"

Jiang Chen glanced at her with a mysterious smile.

"Who knows... Maybe your brother has already become a hidden big shot."

The warm and light-hearted atmosphere continued as they enjoyed breakfast together.

For Jiang Chen, after awakening the Counterattack Money System and gaining the ability to change his destiny...

This simple family breakfast felt more precious than anything else.

As Jiang Chen stood up and stretched, he casually glanced at his sister, Jiang Xiaoyue, who was sitting on the couch, immersed in her smartphone.

Out of curiosity, he leaned over and took a peek at her screen.

On the screen was a performance video of a certain top-tier female idol, whose stunning beauty and captivating stage presence instantly caught his attention.

'Wait... isn't she that national-level idol, Shen Yixue?'

Jiang Chen's eyes slightly narrowed.

Watching Jiang Xiaoyue fangirling over the idol, a sudden idea flashed through his mind.

"If I can use the Counterattack Money System to directly support a top-tier female idol... wouldn't that be the ultimate counterattack?"

Without wasting a second, Jiang Chen quickly turned around and rushed back to his room.

Closing the door behind him, he immediately opened his phone and searched for Shen Yixue's official fan support group.

Soon, he found an exclusive auction event where fans could bid for a one-on-one dinner with Shen Yixue.

The starting price... 300,000 yuan!

Normal people would hesitate at such a ridiculous price.

But Jiang Chen?

With 1 trillion yuan in his account, he didn't even blink.

"Isn't this just perfect for me?"

With a confident smirk, Jiang Chen directly entered the bidding...

[Ding! Successful purchase. You have spent ¥1,000,000 to secure a private dinner with top idol Shen Yixue.] [Counterattack Cashback: ¥500,000 has been returned to your account.]

In an instant, half a million yuan was transferred back into his account.

But that wasn't the most important part...

[Ding! Counterattack Target "Shen Yixue" has been successfully locked.] [Feeling Meter: 0/100]

Jiang Chen clenched his fist.

"Alright... from tomorrow onwards, I'll start counterattacking the nation's top idol."

At the same time, in a luxurious villa somewhere in the capital city...

A beautiful girl dressed in casual home clothes, with long, silky black hair, and delicate, flawless features, was quietly sipping tea on the balcony.

Her phone suddenly vibrated.

[Your private dinner auction has been successfully bid for by a mysterious guest.]

Seeing this message, the girl's eyes narrowed slightly.

"One million... who exactly would spend so much money just to have dinner with me?"

The girl was none other than Shen Yixue, the top-tier idol who dominated the entertainment industry.

She smiled faintly, "Interesting. I'll meet you tomorrow then."

Jiang Chen had no idea...

That his first major counterattack target would be the dream goddess of millions of men across the country.
