Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal ( ADAPTATION )

Chapter 1 - Great Prodigal System

“Liam Manoban, male, 22 years old, orphaned. Passed away unfortunately after his courageous act of rescuing two children who were about to get knocked down by a car. After multiple discussions, the relevant authorities decided to honor him as a hero and an outstanding university student of the province.”

—The People’s Daily Press

“No, no, no, there is no way I’m going with you all to the Manoban family to get engaged!” Chou Tzuyu buried her head under the pillow and furiously kicked her legs in frustration. “Liam Manoban is the city’s most well-known wastrel and a disgrace to the Hong family. He is so frail looking and dim-witted, and he’s a standard prodigal. There is no way I will have such a person as my fiancé!”

Chou Tzuyu was the only child of Chou Ruisi, the chairman of Chou Medical Enterprises. Not only was she multi-talented, knowledgeable, and well read, she was also fair and beautiful; her looks were comparable to the prettiest of flowers, as if all the goodness in the world had been placed into her. Moreover, she was also a very talented cook. She was simply the ideal type of wife, someone who could make delicious meals, would have a presence in public, and was also excellent in bed. As such, she was the dream girl of numerous guys in school.

Suddenly hearing that her father would be bringing her to the infamous Liam Manoban’s family to get engaged today was something that she could not accept at all. “If it wasn’t for his parents spoiling him, giving everything they have to their one and only child, a worthless person like him would have long been expelled from the Hong family and forced to fend for himself. Would he even have had the chance to squander his money away as he has?”

Hearing his daughter’s words, Chou Ruisi, who was seated at the front of the bed, gave a wry smile.”Tzuyu , it’s not like I have a choice either. The marriage between you and Liam Manoban was decided by your grandfather years ago. Although he is a bit of a prodigal child, that isn’t such a big issue, is it? From what I know, Liam Manoban is actually quite a good-looking child…”

Chou Ruisi was wearing a grayish-green vest with a clean white undershirt, and a tie with a simple knot adorned his neck. He had light stubble above his lips, held a bronze-colored pipe in his hand, and his short black hair was neatly combed to the back of his head with a shine. His overall image was rather good. The only difference was that his normally sparkling eyes were now filled with a sense of helplessness and unwillingness.

To be honest, if it wasn’t because he had no choice, would he be willing to give away his own precious daughter to such a worthless person as Liam Manoban? After all, that Liam Manoban could be called a weirdo in this world. The only thing he liked to do, the only thing he said he would do, was squander his wealth.

His most famous words were: “I need to be prodigal. If I don’t squander money, wouldn’t it be a waste of my parents’ ability to earn money?”

This saying was said to be the laughingstock of everyone in Tianjing City. Quite a number of parents educated their children by saying, “If you dare to learn from Hong Dali, that prodigal, we will see if I won’t break your legs!”

Thus, it was understandable that Chou Tzuyu had such a drastic reaction.

Unsurprisingly, when she heard her father’s words, Chou Tzuyu angrily shouted, “Don’t try that with me! Your business’ cash flow has encountered difficulties, and you can’t turn over fast enough. That’s why you’re intending to use this engagement to obtain a loan. You think I didn’t know that? Dad, what you are doing is akin to selling your daughter!”

“Sigh, if there were any other alternatives, who would want to do such a thing…” Chou Ruisi helplessly shook his head. “If we can’t overcome this current difficulty, it won’t be long before we declare bankruptcy. Xinxin, I also don’t wish to…”
