A surprised and delighted voice simultaneously came from a middle-aged man standing as soon as he saw it.
"It's really been a long time, uncle!" replied Xavia with a small nod.
“Huh! It's just like they say. When you are poor, no one is looking for you even if you live in a crowded city! However, when you get rich, even the most distant relatives will run to see you, even if you live in the middle of the forest! I wonder if the saying applies to my relatives who happened to hear that my family Zion just got promoted! ” tease a woman — sitting on one of the sofas — before smiling coldly while continuing to peel oranges.
Hearing that, several other youths and girls in the room took turns staring at Xavia with contemptuous gazes.
“It's been a long time but your way of speaking has never changed, right, auntie? Now that I think about it, this is also the place where you ridiculed and humiliated my mother so much back then, right? ” Xavia replied with a smile.
Clearing his throat, the eldest uncle then asked in a concerned tone, “Do not talk about the past now.. Anyway, I remember your father fell ill that year… How's things? now?"
“She has been cured for a long time,” replied Xavia considering the events that occurred about eight years ago.
At that time, Xavia's father fell ill. Having cheated his money in previous years, he had no money to cure his illness. As a result, Xavia and his mother went to Logan Province to borrow money from his uncle.
However, no matter how much her mother pleaded, none of them reached out to help.
As if that wasn't enough, in the end, her eldest aunt kicked her and her mother out of their house! It was similar to them expelling some stray dogs. His aunt even to the point of throwing out all the local mountain products that Xavia's mother had carefully chosen.
After seeing all the hard work of his mother scattered on the ground, Xavia kept those painful memories in her heart to this day.
In fact, the pain of the incident became his motivation to try his best in learning. His goal was to earn his respect so that he would never be looked down upon again. Because of this, he was finally accepted into Mayberry University!
However, upon entering, he soon realized that no matter how hard he worked, he would never be able to completely escape his poverty.
Even after finding a boyfriend she truly admires, the two end up being looked down upon by others.
He just can't hold it anymore. He wanted to be prestigious, to be a person of high status.
“Huh! Then why did you come back? If it's your mother's turn to be sick now, then I'll save us all the hassle, right now. We have no money!” the taunts of Xavia's eldest aunt as she arrogantly walked towards him.
“If you haven't noticed, she's wearing pretty nice clothes now, Mom! I assume he's here to show off! From the looks of it, he might find himself a rich husband! ” said another woman in the room.
Ignoring both of their statements, Xavia then continued, “Omong-by the way, I remember Second Aunt who had thrown the ten dollar bill to my mother as you all chased after us. You call it 'compensation' for local mountain products, if I remember correctly. Do you remember all that, Second Aunt? ”
Taking a deep breath, her second aunt then replied, “So what if I did? Are you here to take revenge on us? ”
When her second aunt then stood up angrily, Xavia simply said, “Oh no, I never will! I've actually come here today to return ten dollars to you! You know, I swore to myself back then that I would pay back that money a hundred - no, ten thousand times that amount someday! ”
“Well, today is that day! Look out the window, Second and First Aunts. The money I want to return to you is all under,” added Xavia while pointing towards the window.
Upon hearing that, both of his aunts were instantly dumbfounded. Looking out the window, the two closed their mouths in shock as soon as they peered down.
"My Lord!"
Their eyes practically glared out from their sockets as they stared at all the luxurious cars that had been parked outside. But that's not what surprised them the most.
No, they were flabbergasted to see some very full bags placed in front of the car. Even from afar, they could see the green dollar tip peering out of each bag.
It was extremely enchanting, and second aunt Xavia finally staggered onto the sofa before sitting weakly with a loud gulp.
Suddenly, the entrance was opened and a team of Xavia's black-clothed bodyguards quickly entered the house.
“Listen carefully now. While the money downstairs is yours, you won't receive it until you can tell my men the correct amount. Also, You are not allowed to eat or drink until You get the right amount. Don't try to be funny as well because my men will be watching you,” said Xavia coldly as she looked at her second aunt whose legs were already limp.
No one in the house even dared to say a word after seeing all that.
