When I heard this, I felt uncomfortable and couldn’t help thinking, ’What’s wrong with being poor, did a poor guy dig up your ancestors’ graves? Not everyone is like you, born and raised with a silver spoon in their mouth. But even so, your family is now in such a dilapidated state, isn’t it?’
’If it weren’t for your sister, with your current situation—forget about treating your legs, you might have starved to death long ago,’ I fud inwardly.
Of course, even though I was angry, I couldn’t voice out my thoughts.
"You shut up!"
Lucy frowned tightly, and it was the first ti I had seen her so angry.
"Dennis, how can you speak like that?" Brooke scolded him and then said to , "William, he’s still young and ignorant. You shouldn’t stoop to his level!"
"Shut up? I won’t!" Dennis angrily said. "Why should I shut up? Why am I like this, don’t you all know? Haven’t you had enough yet? Look at where we live now, in a place where not even beggars stay!"
"Sis, I’m really tired of being poor. I beg you, can you find a wealthy person for ? Even if it ans becoming a mistress, it’s better than the current situation!"
Lucy slapped him, tears imdiately streaming down her face.
Brooke was also very upset. "It’s all my fault; it’s all my fault for not teaching you well. She’s your sister, how could you let your sister beco a mistress?"
After being slapped, Dennis was stunned. "You hit , you actually hit ; how dare you hit ? What gives you the right to hit ? I only have your best interests at heart."
I couldn’t bear it anymore. This kid seed to have gone crazy, actually suggesting his own sister beco a mistress. It was just unacceptable!
"If you say that again, I’ll beat you to death!" Lucy choked up.
I reached out to hold her hand, shaking my head. "Don’t hit him, it’s pointless."
Dennis sneered. "Go ahead, beat . It’s better to beat to death in my current useless state. And you, you low-key guy, stop pretending to be a good person here. I don’t know what kind of spell you’ve cast on my sister, but I don’t like you. Leave now!"
Brooke cried even more sadly. "You wicked child, do you want to drive and your sister to our deaths before you’re happy?"
I began to understand why Lucy had resorted to such asures as finding a sugar daddy. Having a brother like this was truly despair-inducing.
Thinking about my own family, despite being poor, my siblings were all very determined.
Dennis said, "How have I forced you guys? I’m doing this for your own good."
I couldn’t help but say, "Actually, you are doing this for your own good, aren’t you?"
I continued, "Do you know how much your sister has done for you, how much she has suffered and been looked down upon? Taking care of parents is her duty, but taking care of a younger brother is not. Aren’t you an adult now? The law doesn’t say that an older sister must take care of her younger brother."
"This is our family’s business. What does it have to do with you, you low-key guy? What right do you have to speak?" Dennis said.
"He certainly has the right!" Lucy wiped her tears, holding my hand. "He’s my boyfriend. We’ve already committed to each other. I brought him back this ti to introduce him to Mom, so please show so respect to your future brother-in-law!"
Damn!
I was completely stunned!
’When did I beco your boyfriend, and when did we commit to each other? Don’t speak nonsense! I might take it seriously!’ I mused.
Dennis was dumbfounded, saying in disbelief, "You want to marry this low-key guy? Are you out of your mind? Those who pursued you before, aren’t they better than him, with better family backgrounds?"
"Yes, but that was before Dad had an accident. Now that Dad’s in trouble, they don’t even dare to answer my calls." Lucy said, "He may not be very wealthy, but he’s sincere to . We’ve already been intimate, so I only recognize him."
’Holy crap! What do you an by being intimate? We didn’t exactly have any deep connection, alright? You just demonstrated so of your handy work, didn’t you?’ I thought to myself, ’Now, in the minds of her family, I’ve already taken advantage of Lucy completely.’
Even Brooke stopped crying.
She stared at straight in the eyes, seemingly shocked, too.
It made my scalp tingle.
"What, you low-key guy, how dare you touch my sister? I’ll damn well kill you, you low-key guy!"
Dennis was furious. If his legs weren’t disabled, he probably would have rushed into the kitchen to grab a knife.
Why was I being so wrongly accused?
But now that things had co to this, I made up my mind, boldly wrapped my arm around her slender waist, and said, "When two hearts et and attract each other, why can’t we be together?
"If you think I’ll mistreat your sister, rest assured. I will never harm her."
With that, I let go of her and took out my phone to check my balance. "This is just a portion of my savings. Do you understand?"
He was first stunned, then stared at my phone, "One, ten, hundred... ten thousand, hundred thousand..."
His eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaid with excitent, "Over three million dollars! You actually have over three million dollars?"
I put away my phone and said, "So, do you still want to stop from being with your sister now?"
"No, since you are so wealthy, why would I stop you?"
Dennis’s attitude changed completely, and then he looked at sowhat ingratiatingly. "Mr. Maine, no. I should call you brother-in-law!"
"Brother-in-law, I have a hot temper. The things I said just now were thoughtless. Please don’t be angry."
Damn, poor people were called "low-key guys," but the wealthy were called "brother-in-law," the reality was really sothing!
"Hehe, why would I be angry."
I smiled. "The ones who should be angry are your sister and mother. They are your closest relatives. Have you ever thought about how hurtful your words were just now?"
"Yes, yes. I get carried away easily and speak without thinking."
He looked at Lucy and said, "Sis, I’m sorry for misunderstanding you. I didn’t expect you to find such a wealthy brother-in-law for ."
He secretly gave a thumbs-up, thinking I didn’t see it.
This kid was truly a special kind of character!
He then pushed the wheelchair to the bedside and said, "Mom, don’t cry; our good days are here. Sis found a wealthy brother-in-law, so we won’t have to live in this place where not even beggars stay anymore."
