Chapter 4

I took a taxi back home. Clay was sitting on the sofa with my parents sitting next to him.

I laughed out loud. "Why are you all sitting here? Waiting for me?"

"Useless! What's the point of raising you to this age? If you can't even have children, what's the point of you living?"

I curled my lips and said, "You didn't forget, did you? You were the one who pushed me into the river."

That's right. When I was a kid, Clay lied to me and said there was something in the river and asked me to take a look.

Then he pushed me into the river. He stood on the shore and laughed at me as I struggled desperately.

It was quite some time before someone pulled me out.

Clay was a little discouraged by my words. "Then what should I do?"

Finally! He took the bait!

I said, "Don't we still have our house? Isn't it more expensive than me?

"The last time I passed by an agency, the listing price was over one million."

Weren't you guys short of money? Once you sold this house, it would be enough.

My mother was the first to realize. "No, your father and I worked hard and saved for half our lives to buy this house! Where will we live if you sell it?"

Although my mother was saying that, I knew that Clay had been taken the interest.

I decided to add fuel. "One house is nothing. When Clay makes money, he can buy four or five houses! The benefits are all in the risk. Since Mr. Gray is so good at making money, if you invest in one house, you may get a big villa in return!

"Just think about it, that's villas and sports cars! So many people can't afford it even if they work hard all their lives. No effort, no gain!

"Think about it seriously. Instead of marrying me off for such a small amount of money, why don't take a chance?"

I sat quietly without saying anything else. Clay was interested.

I just needed to wait for Clay to convince my parents.

This possibility was 100%.

My parents had always favored Clay, not to mention that they had already seen early benefits from him.

Those two people who were selfish and always wanted to get something for nothing would definitely agree.

There was no such thing as a free lunch! What you think is a free lunch is just a trap set by others for you.

You hated me for blocking your path to fortune in the previous life, so I repay you in this life.

I wondered how rich you could be!

I didn't go to work and took a long vacation to wait at home.

Sure enough, I didn't have to wait long before they left the house.

They left in the morning and came back in the evening.

The three of them had smug looks on their faces and were talking and laughing all the way.

"Son, I really think we can make a lot of money this time! Look at Mr. Gray, successful people are different! They have style!"

There was a strong sense of envy in my father's voice.

Clay said with disdain, "Once we make money, we'll also dress like that! I'll buy you a big villa and a luxury car! You just enjoy the rest of your life. You can have everything you want, and then you can go traveling abroad. Isn't it wonderful?"

"Yes, so wonderful! Just thinking about it makes me feel good. My son is so great! Look at your sister, she's a college graduate! But she's useless, she's worked for so many years, but she hasn't even saved any money!"

My mother said I was worthless, and Clay sneered. "Look at her attitude before, she even told me to be a good son-in-law! She is old enough and still not getting married, people all laugh at her."

I was silent, I almost wanted to laugh.

I live frugally, saved money and sent money home every month.

But in the end, they said I was ungrateful. And they even covered up for Clay after he killed me.

And Clay? He was a middle-aged fat man who couldn't even get into college. And he still hadn't found a wife.

You deserve it!

You deserve to be cheated!

I rubbed my eyes and pretended to have just woken up, walked out of the room, and looked at the three people sitting on the sofa.

"Where did you go?"
