After being reborn as an ugly cannon fodder, my appearance stats are off the charts!

Appearance: 95 points (the human limit for appearance is 100 points)

Yan An leaned back on the sofa, but her gaze was fixed on the luxurious fish tank on her left.

The warm, golden rays of the setting sun streamed in through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

As the light and shadow shifted and changed, his skin appeared even more delicate and refined, like jade, and his eyebrows and eyes were so beautiful that they were breathtaking. Such beauty was rare in the world.

The more Su Haitian looked at his son, the more confident he felt that everything he had envisioned would come true without fail.

The only daughter of the Hua family in this generation will definitely fall for Su An.

By getting involved with the Hua family, the Su family will only get better and better.

Su Haitian began to calculate that Su An must attend the most prestigious university in the future, choose a major that would lead to a top company, or perhaps even a political career. He also wanted Su An to study abroad to further enhance his resume…

However, no matter how vibrant his envisioned future was, the boy before him was just as indifferent in reality.

Zhong Xiuli sat next to Su An, wiping away her tears as she spoke to him, but Su An just stared blankly at the fish tank.

What a pity... Su Haitian thought to himself.

He judged others by his own standards. These children are four or five years old, and most of them don't remember much. His own memories of that time are also missing or even severely blurred by today's standards. He probably won't start remembering things until he's in elementary school.

They shouldn't have neglected this child when he was in elementary school.

If they had started cultivating their relationship back then, they wouldn't need to constantly try to get closer to the child now.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. His originally gentle words turned lecturing: "Your parents used to let go of you and be strict with you, all to cultivate your independence! You've grown up, has the family ever lacked your food, clothing, or shelter? You've always been a part of this family! You've enjoyed the benefits this family brings! You must protect this family! When the family is doing well, you'll be doing even better! Do you understand this principle?"

Su Haitian and Zhong Xiuli rarely bring up the past; they only want to downplay or even erase the neglect and indifference they once felt.

If Su An were to bring up the past, they could find reasons to say that he was still immature, too vengeful, and too petty... The problem is that Su An has never mentioned it, which sometimes makes them uneasy.

Su Haitian finished speaking.

The couple then saw that Su An actually smiled.

His face was so radiant; he was already like a painting just sitting there, but this smile made him even more vivid, dazzling, and unforgettable.

Even Su Haitian and Zhong Xiuli were stunned for a few seconds, unable to look away.

Zhong Xiuli finally looked away, her heart filled with increasing resentment. This was her son! So outstanding, so outstanding that whenever she had afternoon tea with the wives of the ladies, even just a single photo of him would naturally make him the center of everyone's attention. Yet, he was so indifferent to his mother!

Zhong Xiuli deeply regretted it.

We shouldn't have ignored this child like that!

It's even more inappropriate to let a nanny take care of this child! She's completely won the child's heart! It's likely the child has actually come to see the nanny as their mother!

When Zhong Xiuli thought back to the time she unintentionally saw Su An and Zhang Lanhua talking outside the community when she returned home a few days ago, and Zhang Lanhua brought two bags for Su An, and Su An took something out of them and ate it while laughing and talking to Zhang Lanhua... she felt a heart-wrenching regret, pain, and anger.

With tears in her eyes, Zhong Xiuli looked at Su An and said, "Actually, your mother has always loved you the most. It's just that you were not healthy when you were little, and your mother had postpartum illness and her temper became very bad. Your mother was afraid that she would not be able to take good care of you and that you would be sensitive, so she asked that nanny to take care of you more... Now that you have grown up and are so outstanding, your mother is so proud and happy for you."

Su An did not react.

"Enough! Su An! How could you do this?!" Su Yun, who had been observing from the corner, stepped forward. "Your parents may have had shortcomings in the past, but haven't we been making it up to you?! Our whole family is proud of you! We all want to be good to you! How can you be so cold-hearted? So selfish! Don't hurt your parents anymore!"

……

Yan An: ? ?

People can actually laugh when they're speechless.

Yan An really wanted to say that so-called compensation meant giving expensive gifts, like the latest electronics or designer clothes, while adding a message like, "We're going to such-and-such place next week, you can come along, remember to wear this outfit." Or it meant saying, "Your parents have spent so much for you, you should be grateful."

Su Haitian's "where to go" might be a cocktail party with business partners or a company annual meeting. So, is the purpose to let Yan An enjoy it? No, Yan An is just a tool used to show off or even flaunt to Su Haitian's colleagues and clients.

Chung Hsiu-li's "where to go" was to visit beauty salons, high-end shopping malls, and have afternoon tea; in reality, she just wanted to show off to the wives in her social circle.

Not only that, Zhong Xiuli also started going to the school more and more often, frequently bringing soup and meals to Yan An. Whether Yan An ate them or not, she would take pictures and post them on her WeChat Moments (…).

Including Su Yun, who used to avoid Yan An like the plague, now loves to post so-called photos with her younger brother on her WeChat Moments, with captions like "Photo with my younger brother" and "My younger brother is like this and that".

You want to see that group photo? Actually, it's just that Yan An was doing something else, while Su Yun stood beside him, or not far away, taking a selfie while trying to capture Yan An's image as well. Strictly speaking, what's the difference between that and taking a candid photo?

Yan An didn't know what Su Yun had said in more detail in her circle of friends, but every now and then one of her friends would pop up to talk to him in person, ask for his contact information, call him "little brother," and say that they were Su Yun's friends or classmates, seemingly just jokingly saying that they would wait for him for another two years, waiting for him to grow up...

Yan An ignored Su Yun and turned his gaze to the family photo on the opposite wall.

This was reshot last year.

Previously, Yan An was not included in family photos, but later Yan An was required to stand in the most prominent and central position.

Su Yun even posted this photo as her WeChat Moments background.

Yan An's absent-mindedness displeased Su Yun.

She said, her voice trembling with tears, "Su An!! I'm talking to you!!"

She was so fed up with being constantly ignored by her younger brother! This shouldn't be happening!

In this family, Zhong Xiuli and Su Yun were crying, while Su Haitian sat in a chair, hunched over, looking exhausted and sighing.

Judging from this scene, Yan An seems to be the most heartless person in the family.

……

Yan An was simply enduring it.

To a child who was born with knowledge and clearly remembers his childhood experiences, all of these words from the Su family were lies.

Yan An could certainly refute this.

It's just that Su Zhuo has been away from home for long periods of time these past few years; otherwise, he could have recounted to them how Su Zhuo wanted to throw him away when he was still an infant, and how Su Zhuo and Su Yun bullied him when he was just a child, not to mention the actions of Su Haitian and his wife.

But he didn't; at least he didn't intend to reveal now that he actually remembered everything.

Now, this is a brand new life for him, and he wants to live a better life than in his previous life. Therefore, he does not want the Su family to realize that he has no feelings for them and will eventually cut ties with them before he has fully developed his power, especially before he comes of age. This would lead them to do whatever it takes to cause him trouble and even affect his future.

Moreover, the increase in appearance points brings Yan An not only a beauty bonus, but also many dangers.

At this moment, Yan An was unaware that he would continue to travel through time, be reborn in new worlds, and possess what could be called an eternal life.

He had no idea that once his appearance points reached a certain number, they would bring about even more dramatic changes.

Such beauty could even shake the world, yet he still doesn't know how to use it, or how much "power" he can easily obtain from it.

He was simply trying to make plans for a stable and worry-free future from the perspective of an ordinary person who wasn't particularly intelligent.

……

Yan An is currently more concerned about the cannon fodder plot.

He still remembers the hidden mission triggered when he met the female lead An Yuqing, who was still a little girl when he was three years old. As cannon fodder, he needed to change his original cannon fodder fate in the story.

He thought the plot couldn't be easily changed, after all, it was a predetermined "fate," shouldn't it have some kind of stubbornness, or even be destined to happen?

However, in the cannon fodder storyline, it is clearly mentioned that the cannon fodder Su An only met the female lead An Yuqing once when he was 14 years old. According to the plot, the next time he wants to see her is when he is 18 years old.

However, in the past two years, Yan An has already met An Yuqing three more times.

Although each encounter with the Su family was accidental, and he avoided them at all costs, this made Yan An realize that the plot must have already changed.

Did he flap the butterfly's wings?
