Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

The house turned out to be a small villa, and Chen Qi was quite surprised.

Chen Pingsheng, on the other hand, was expressionless.

Only after they entered did Liu Wenhao admit that he shouldn't have lied to Chen Qi.

He laid his cards on the table, his family were millionaires.

He thought Chen Qi would be very surprised and then ecstatic.

Instead, she just felt awkward for a moment.

The house was not small, seemingly three hundred square meters.

The ring-road villa was bought very early.

Liu Wenhao's mother was decked out in jewels and even wore a string of oversized necklaces, seemingly afraid that others might not know she was wealthy.

When Liu Wenhao called her, she didn't even lift her eyelids.

Liu Wenhao wasn't the only child in his family, he had two older brothers.

Both were working in the family company, and Liu Wenhao was to join the family business after graduation.

His sister-in-law pulled a few strings to have him gain experience elsewhere for two years.

After two years, joining the family enterprise would be better for him.

That was what his sister-in-law claimed.

The actual situation was that Liu Wenhao's father's health was failing, and once he couldn't hold on after two years.

Then, when dividing the inheritance, her side would definitely have the upper hand.

Meeting Chen Qi was quite a surprise; she truly didn't care whether he was rich or poor.

The reason was that she was not short of money at all.

This was not easy for Liu Wenhao, who had grown up in a privileged family.

"Mom, this is Little Qi I told you about, and this is her brother."

"I know, the durian seller's brother from the street, right? And this countryside girl without education or residency."

Mrs. Liu was very pragmatic, looking at Chen Qi with disdain.

"I tell you, you're pretty cunning. How long did you take to get close to my youngest son, charming him and even bringing him home, and you, looking like that, think you can marry into our family? Are you worthy?"

"I…" Chen Qi started, "I just genuinely think Wenhao is a nice person; I didn't deliberately get close."

"All his ex-girlfriends who were vixens said the same thing. What makes you think you're any different?"

Mrs. Liu said menacingly, "I quite understand you country girls; the housing prices in Capital City are so high. If you weren't thinking of climbing up the social ladder, why would you stake your life on staying in Capital City?"

Pingsheng was dressed shabbily and unhesitatingly sat on their fancy sofa.

Mrs. Liu gave him a cold look full of disgust, feeling this sort of person lacked any manners.

Would dirtying the sofa cost you anything?

It was Liu Wenhao who stood up for Chen Qi, "Mom, Little Qi is not that kind of person."

"Your mother has eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, and these young girls today all play the purity act, each one with a belly full of tricks."

Mrs. Liu bluntly said, "Look at her brother, does he seem like a refined person? And look at her own attire; if such people entered our Liu family, who knows what bad luck they would bring."

"Hmm…" Pingsheng couldn't bear listening anymore, but he didn't scold the old woman; instead, he looked toward his sister.

"Chen Qi, your brother hasn't suffered such insult for many years; today, really, thanks to you."

"Brother, don't go, talk to them, will you?"

Chen Qi held on to him, also wanting him to reveal his own status, then who would dare to look down on them.

Chen Pingsheng firmly pulled his arm away; his little sister was becoming more and more muddled.

"Explain? Are people like them worthy of you? I've told you not to be reckless, but you wouldn't listen, and even wanted me to play along with this act. Do you see now?"

Chen Pingsheng harshly said, "They think you're totally unworthy of marrying into such a family and won't ever let you through the door. What are you still performing for?"

Chen Pingsheng walked away briskly, as if staying another second was an insult.

Chen Qi's pleas were useless.

"What does he mean by that, calling us destitute? What does he consider himself?"

Mrs. Liu was also very angry; she had actually been scolded by a street durian seller.

And he didn't even deign to explain a single word.

How much disdain did he have for their family?

"Little Qi, your brother has left."

Liu Wenhao also went out to persuade him, but it was completely useless.

When Chen Pingsheng decided to leave, no one could stop him.

"Hmph, my brother is right, I'm not worthy of marrying into your family."

Chen Qi left too, not wanting to stay another second and be insulted.

Liu Wenhao dared not blame his mother; she was exactly the type to idolize the high and trample the low.

He didn't even have the courage to chase after Chen Qi.

If he chased after her, all he would get was his mother's scorn.

She had three sons; he wasn't the only one.

"Mom… you're too!"

"Too what, if you dare to bring someone like that home, your mother would dare to leave you with nothing."

Mrs. Liu huffed, and Liu Wenhao kept silent.

Just then, the sister-in-law came in with her bag, saw the atmosphere in the house, and curiously asked:

"What happened? I just saw Water Cloud Space's LaFerrari parked outside our house."

"What LaFerrari?"

"How many LaFerraris are there in Capital City? It's from that place I occasionally go for beauty treatments, Water Cloud Space. The owner drives a LaFerrari, and I remember the license plate. That owner is really rich!"

"Uh—I just saw Little Qi outside making a call asking her sister-in-law to pick her up."

Liu Wenhao was stunned.

Still feeling something odd, the sister-in-law curiously asked, "What's going on here?"

Liu Wenhao quickly explained a few words, while his mother kept huffing, arrogantly sitting on the couch with her legs crossed.
