Xing Lei, that's my name. Not that anyone calls me that. They prefer calling me bastard, jerk, idiot and so on. That isn't even my pronouns jeez just ask if you're curious don't presume that it's bastard or something a long those lines. It's he/him to you my friend.

I was born into a rich family. Well it's more like my father success. He has his own company to be exact, he build it up from the bottom. He met my mom when he had started to go into the market. Oh my mom, she came from a rich family, that might be the only thing I have in common with her. We used to be a happy family, a perfect family you could say but now we are split up and i'm apparently the one to blame.

When I was 5 I got into an car accident which caused me to be in a coma for 2 years. I also needed lots of physical therapy. By the time I woke up from the coma, my parents weren't particular happy about it. It was like my parents had moved on with their life and even got another son. so when I woke up they were mad since it would ruined their newly planned life.

I was cast aside and had to live a life in the shadow of my little brother. I was expected to get the best grade and work hard for my life so I didn't ruined the family name.

I spent most my time studying but when I wasn't, I would visit my grandma. She was the only one that made this life of mine possible to live. She sadly past away when I was 15.

I did everything I was told to but still I didn't get any affection from my parents. so I started misbehaving, being the black sheep of the family. I went and drank alcohol, got tattoos, partied all night and got into some pretty heated fights. I even had my hoe phase heh. Oh my parents despised My teenage years.

But as much as I misbehaved I still got a very high university degree here in China. I even became a well known Scientist at a young age. I had long gone given up on my parents acknowledgement so I did what I wanted most of the time and definitely didn't go home either.

I was accepted into a top secret science project by the government. I am the smartest of them all. I have the highest iq they told me. So it was important I took the offer for them.

We have now been working on this project for 2 years now and gotten quite far if I say so myself.

One day my dad called me to come by home, we needed to talk. Talking was never good with my dad, it meant bad news always.

I went home, I came prepared to hear anything, at this point he would complain about anything.

My dad said "you must come home and become an office worker in the company."

I didn't want to be like my father, he should know this by now. Why would he ask me that? I depised him for eternity, so working in the company was like asking me to put who I am aside and become a nobody again.
It is so stupid! I wouldn't even be in a higher position than my brother!

I screamed at my father. "I was never loved in this family! So why should I work for it?"

I couldn't stand this household and left in a rage. Tomorrow would be better and working would help I thought to myself.

I couldn't concentrate and I even got into a disagreement with one of the other "geniuses" I hated this one a lot but I wouldn't want to fight him cause that would make me lose my job.

It was like my thoughts foreshadowed my own stupidity. I ended up fighting him and destroying some very important parts to the project. When I say the boss wasn't happy, it was an understatement. He was raging. Looking into his eyes would make you wanna die.
