Pearl drove the Porsche 911 back to South River International Residence after work.
Before she could enter the gates of South River International Residence, she was suddenly stopped.
Pearl took a close look at the people who stopped her and found her parents, her brother Sam, and three other strangers she did not recognize.
‘What are they doing here?’
Pearl quickly got out of the car.
“Mo, Dad, Sam, what are you guys doing here?”
“Hmpf! How else would we find out that you’re actually driving a nice car and living in a mansion in the big city while we work ourselves to death at home?” Pearl’s mom, Leigh, said.
“Mom, it’s not what you think. This car belongs to my boss!” Pearl explained.
“Your boss? Your boss lets you drive his car every day? Why you, huh? Why not anyone else?”
“Mom, can we talk somewhere else? Where are you guys staying? I can get you two hotel rooms!”
“I’m not going anywhere! I want to live inside! Don’t try to lie to me, your brother’s been watching you over the past few days and he knows that you’ve been living inside!” Leigh said, pointing at South River International Residence.
“Mom, that’s my boss’ residence! I can’t just bring you guys inside!”
“Bullsh*t! What boss? It’s your boyfriend, isn’t it? That’s why you can drive his car and live in his house! How dare you forget about your parents just because you found yourself a boyfriend? I’m going take a page out of the family rulebook and teach you a lesson!” Pearl’s father Billy said as he raised the wooden stick at Pearl.
Pearl did not expect her father to suddenly hit her. Tears immediately sprung to her eyes in pain when the stick smacked against her arm.
She felt wronged. She had been living with minimal expenses just to provide for her family and even paid for Sam’s university living costs.
She has been sending twenty thousand dollars to her family each month, which was essentially all the money she has been making these years. Yet, now she was being subjected to a bad scolding.
Still, there was nothing she could do since they were her family.
She had no other choice but to bring the six of them into the International Residence.
Pearl thought that since it was a public holiday, David would be at his hometown instead of River City.
The six guests were stunned when they entered the residence.
Not even on television had they seen such a luxurious house.
Minnie’s entire family was too stunned to speak.
They thought that their living conditions were pretty good and so looked down on the Warners, who lived i in the village. Only now did they realize how close-minded they had been.
Minnie’s parents now looked at Sam with glee instead of distaste. If his sister could live in such a nice
lodging, then Sam himself would not be too far off either.
“It’s so grand here. Pearl! The decorations, the view! This place is even more luxurious than what we see o n television,” Sam said as he walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows.
He started imagining how his life would be living here every day. It was such a huge house, so there should be no problems housing him and Minnie.
The guests soon snapped out of their daydream. They had originally felt out of place in this house but immediately relaxed once they realized that this was their daughter’s house, and therefore an extension o f their own.
At this moment, Pearl asked, “So, Mom, Dad. What are you here for?”
Billy pointed at Minnie and her parents and introduced them, “This is Minnie, your brother’s girlfriend, and these are Minnie’s parents. We’re planning to arrange your brother’s marriage, so just give us five million t o buy him a house and a car.”
Pearl wanted to chortle at the ridiculousness of it all.
Her father had been a farmer his entire life so it was unlikely he would ask for five million dollars outright. He might not even know how much five million could buy. Thus, the five million must have been Sam’s idea.
“I don’t have that kind of money,” Pearl said.
“Then how much are you planning to contribute?” Billy asked.
He, too, felt that five million was too much when Sam suggested this amount. 1 “I won’t contribute a single cent!”
