Chapter 2, Su Mo Translation type: edited MTL
The soft light of the dusk struck the porcelain-white walls, the dense water mist stagnated in the almost closed bathroom. Dripping water droplets fell onto the smooth floor and made a crisp noise, and a white, fleshy hand resembling expanding white bread showed through. There was a hesitant pause when it was about to touch the layer of mist. As if a final resolve, the foggy mirror was rubbed furiously into clarity.
The man in the mirror, with his wet black hair that settled on his forehead and the corner of his eyes, looked about thirty years old. His skin was fair, white and under the light, looked smooth and fleshy. There was a slight tremble, and with the steam looked very much like a big white steamed bun that just came out from the basket. Even the most three-dimensional facial features cannot resist from being drowned by the meat on his face.
The big fat pale man in the mirror took a hard breath as if he were enduring something extremely painful. He somehow survived. He was nearly ten years younger all of a sudden. It didn"t matter if he was fat, he could still lose weight.
Nevertheless, from childhood with the t.i.tle of a beautiful man who never had the ‘taste" of obesity, there was still some restless pulling of his pajamas to wrap up the fat body. Lowering his head, he could not even see the tips of his feet. He was really not used to it.
Falling tired on the bed, Su Bai put an arm across his face to hide from the glare of the room.
He needed to sort things out. Chen Yuan, who had always been like a dog following him, suddenly rebelled and usurped last year. His old image of the Su Family master was already gone. Chen Yuan the mad dog put him under house arrest. He still served him like an emperor, who had delicious food and drunk every day, but which emperor was kept as a male pet by a rebellious minister?
Last month, Chen Yuan, who actively exploited the domestic market, was in City. Su Bai boarded the plane and was to be brought there. Asleep in the first-cla.s.s cabin, his body suddenly shook. The plane encountered a sudden change in weather, and then he fainted. When he woke up, he was in the hospital. The headlines in the newspaper on his bedside reported a plane crash from London to City, China. No one was lucky. Even Su Bai, the ruler of the Su Family, was amongst the victims.
Then, the whole two pages were full of voices and feelings about the life of Su Bai, a deceased dignitary.
Big Master Su Bai, who was born with a silver spoon, lived like an emperor of luxury and power his whole lifetime, a beautiful man who never married throughout this lonely life. The Su Master who killed with a jade face and ate both black and white.
In the end, lost his life at high alt.i.tudes.
Su Bai was dead, yet also alive, alive in Su Mo"s body.
“Even if I, Su Bai, were to die, a plane accident will not be one of the reasons.”
After waking up, Su Bai, a man had stood tall at the peak of power for forty-one years, accepted the reality with the fastest speed and a calm mind. This fat body did not belong to Su Bai. His soul came to this man named Su Mo. However, as a matter of fact, Su Bai had already known of this person and the name Su Mo.
Su"s family was scattered with branching blood relations, but only Su Bai"s own family could control the whole Su family. By generation, Su Mo was considered Su Bai"s nephew. Su Mo was an illegitimate son and had not been favored since childhood. Su Bai happened to see Su Mo at the Su family gathering by chance. That was more than ten years ago. Su Mo, not yet 20 years old, was like a Jade Tree flowing in the wind, and had a compelling aura surrounding him. Su Bai, already in power at that time, had only noticed Su Mo because Su Mo resembled his younger self.
Su Bai was a famous, beautiful man since childhood. It was inevitable that he was somewhat narcissistic. When he saw Su Mo, he felt the desire to cultivate feelings. Unfortunately, other than the resembling appearance, the rest of Su Mo could not compare. It was totally different, like clouds to mud. Especially his weak and incompetent character, which a thing Su Bai hated the most.
More than ten years ago, Su Mo was young, handsome with a pressing aura, yet now he has turned into a pile of white fat. The reason why Su Mo was in the hospital was found out to be suicide for love. Su Bai could only sneer after he knew. If personality really decided destiny, excessive weakness would only make some small people take more than what was given.
“Forty-one years old to thirty-two years old, a body for a body of fat, not a loss.”
What should be done after a sudden rebirth? Money was not an issue. Although Su Mo was an illegitimate son, he had been favored by Master Su Bai many years ago, and later had a good life. What"s more, Su Bai had many ways to make money.
Su Ye turned off the lamp and laid in bed. In the fat-squeezed Phoenix eyes, his irises were full of coldness. He made a quick decision.
Lose weight!
…
…
A three-story compound villa, large balcony on the second floor with a small swimming pool, facing the sea directly, with a small balcony on the third floor and a set of beautiful tables and chairs. At the front a sight of an ocean swimming pool, at the back a landscape of mountains and forests worth admiring.
The area around the mountains of sun set was always a kind full of villas that lied beside mountains and views of the sea. It was not the best kind of villa in city, but it was a house that only the rich could afford, though the real dignitaries disdain to settle down here. Most of them buy the villas for occasional residence, and some depressed n.o.bles who were accustomed to luxury life sell them to upstarts. Su Mo"s house was as such.
Oh, sorry. It Su Bai"s house now.
Other than Su Mo-now-Su Bai, the villa also lived Su Mo"s half-brother, the name of which Master Su did not know. Although there were many members of the Su Family, the Su people that were remembered by Su Bai really were not many, and those that were not forgotten by him were not ordinary people. In other words, the Su people who were not remembered had no status in the Su family.
Now Su Bai is glad that he remembered Su Mo because of Su Mo"s appearance. The villa and the pocket money that was sent to Su Mo every month were a treatment only for family members remembered by Su Bai, though he did not know that Su Mo became a fat man of 170 kg later on, and was 18,000 miles away from the handsome Su in his early years.
In the early morning, Su Bai pulled his heavy body out of bed. The sunshine was gazing in, and it felt good and free. However, when he touched the Doraemon bedsheets under his body, Su Bai"s eyes twitched. He actually slept in this ridiculous bed for one whole night.
Opening the wardrobe, Su Bai"s mouth twitched, elephant underwear, or extremely loose quadrangular underpants, yellow and red socks, not sure if they came from some poor stall. Want colour no colour, want shape no shape, even used as a rag it was still disgusting to the eye. What was going on with this Su Mo? Men in their early thirties are in their most attractive time, but Su Mo had turned himself into a vulgar-looking fat uncle.
Rubbing his forehead hard, Su Bai struggled to pull out a few clothes from the pile of garbage and put them on. He opened the door, wearing the only pair of white slippers that were pleasing to his eyes.
There were only a few servants in the villa. They were sitting on the living room sofa in groups of twos and threes, chatting and watching TV. When Su Bai came out of the room, they glanced at him casually with no sign of panic. Turning back to eat food in Su Mo"s refrigerator, sitting on Su Mo"s sofa and watching Su Mo"s TV.
If before, Su Mo let them pa.s.s under his eyes, then a pity, the Master Su now did not like his house having subordinates who acted higher than him.
“Clean up your things and get out!” Standing on the stairs on the second floor, Su Bai said coldly.
Suddenly, the sounds from the 8 o"clock drama of the protagonist and heroine in the TV could only be heard. Several servants were stunned and dared not move. Their eyes were clearly alarmed and shocked. Although Sumo was the owner of the family in name, he was always timid and cowardly, and the servants of the family did not regard him as a real master.
Su Bai"s aura shocked them for a while, and they finally realized that standing in front of them was really Su Mo, the fat man who dared not speak under ordinary circ.u.mstances. An older woman within the servants stood up boldly, squeezed her waist, and pointed at Su Bai and scolded, “Su Mo, who are you chasing out? Who do you think you are!”
Master Su was shocked. How many times did this d.a.m.n Su Mo turn a blind eye to before? Even a mere servant dared to point and scold a member of the Su Family.
Su Bai glanced coldly at the old lady, who was originally relying on her high status as the young master"s nanny, felt a chill coming up from her spine. Her teeth trembled and her body trembled with uncontrollably.
“Mama Liu, how can you talk to the young master like that! Young Master just discharged from the hospital!” A girl ran in from the porch, carrying a bundle of things in her hand, who apparently just came back from shopping. Her bright forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her face was anxious and angry.
“What"s wrong, Mama Liu? Quarreling so early in the morning.” Two people entered the room. The young man in front, who looked weak, Su Bai had seen last night. Su Bai was sent back last night by Su Mo"s brother. He thought that Su Mo and his brother must not have a good relationship. When he left the hospital yesterday, the brother did even not look at him and said nothing to him, and left after leaving Su Bai at the villa.
“Young master Su, give us an opinion. Su Mo opens his mouth to drive us away unreasonably. We haven"t done anything.” Mama Liu had followed Su Yiyang¹ from his father"s house. Although she lived in Su Mo"s villa, she still despised Su Mo, the illegitimate son, in her heart. In addition, Su Mo was usually timid, cowardly and basically silent, Liu Ma never regarded Su Mo as a young master.
Although her heart was still trembling from the cutting gaze by Su Bai just now, when Su Yiyang came back Liu Ma immediately jumped up and down as she thought she had a foothold.
Obviously, they forgot that Su Mo was the real owner of the family, not to mention that unbeknownst to everyone there, the Su Mo now was Su Bai.
Su Bai smiled coldly. Very well, I will take this opportunity to let everyone see who is the real owner of this house.
A/N: -none-
T/N: h.e.l.lo again! This is the second chapter of RMS. Things are getting hot and drama ensues~ Thanks to everyone who has taken interest in the story so far!
I"m thinking of editing the t.i.tle from Master Su to Su Ye instead but I"m not sure~ Maybe it will be an alternate t.i.tle instead…

Su Mo – Su Mo"s name is actually the total opposite of Su Bai, in a sense. 墨（mo）means black/ink, and contradicts the 白（bai）, meaning white, in Su Bai.
