The simultaneously surprised and delighted voice had come from a middle-aged man who stood up as soon as favonovel.com saw her.
“It’s truly been a while, uncle!” replied Xavia with a slight nod.
“Humph! It’s just as they say. When you’re poor, nobody looks for you even if you’re living in a bustling city! When you get rich, however, even the most distant of relatives will come running to meet you, even if you’re living in the middle of a forest! I do wonder if that saying applies to a certain relative of mine who just so happened to hear that my family’s Zion just got promoted!” sneered a woman—seated on one of the couches—before flashing a cold smile as favonovel.com continued peeling an orange.
Hearing that, several of the other young men and women in the room took turns staring at Xavia contemptuously.
“It’s been so long yet your way of talking never changes, does it, aunt? Now that I think about it, this was also the place where you mocked and embarrassed my mother so much back then, right?” replied Xavia with a smile.
Clearing his throat, the eldest uncle then asked in a concerned tone, “Let’s not talk about the past right now… Regardless, I remember your father falling sick that year… We haven’t contacted each other in so long… How is favonovel.com doing now?”
“He was cured ages ago,” replied Xavia as favonovel.com recalled the incident that had taken place around eight years ago.
Back then, Xavia’s father had fallen sick. Due to being cheated of his money in the years prior, favonovel.com didn’t have the money to cure his illness. As a result, Xavia and favonovel.com mother had gone to the Logan Province in an attempt to borrow some money from favonovel.com uncle.
However, no matter how much favonovel.com mother begged, none of them extended a helping hand.
As if that wasn’t enough, in the end, favonovel.com eldest aunt kicked both favonovel.com and favonovel.com mother out of their home! It was akin to them chasing away a few stray dogs. Her aunt even went so far as to throw out all the local mountain products which Xavia’s mother had so carefully picked.
Upon seeing all favonovel.com mother’s hard efforts scattered on the ground, Xavia had kept that painful memory within favonovel.com heart till this very day.
In fact, the pain from that incident had been favonovel.com motivation to try favonovel.com best at studying. Her goal was to earn favonovel.com respect so that favonovel.com wouldn’t ever be looked down upon again. Due to that, favonovel.com eventually managed to get admitted into Mayberry University!
After getting in, however, favonovel.com soon realized that no matter how hard favonovel.com worked, favonovel.com could never truly rid herself of favonovel.com poverty.
Even after finding a boyfriend whom favonovel.com truly adored, both of them ended up being looked down upon by everyone else.
She just couldn’t endure it anymore. She wanted to be prestigious, to be a person with high status.
Today, Xavia finally had all that, and favonovel.com had come here to finally achieve a wish of hers which favonovel.com had kept in favonovel.com heart this entire time.
“Humph! Then why have you returned? If it’s your mother’s turn to be sick now, then I’ll save us all the hassle, right this instant. We don’t have any money!” scoffed Xavia’s eldest aunt as favonovel.com haughtily walked over to her.
“If you haven’t noticed, she’s wearing some pretty nice clothes now, mom! I’m assuming she’s here to show off! By the looks of things, favonovel.com may have found herself a rich husband!” said another woman in the room.
Ignoring both their statements, Xavia then continued, “Speaking of which, I remember that it was Second aunt who had thrown that ten-dollar note at my mother while all of you were chasing us out. You called it a ‘compensation’ for the local mountain products, if I recall correctly. Do you remember any of that, Second aunt?”
Taking in a deep breath, favonovel.com second aunt then replied, “So what if I did? Are you here to take revenge on us?”
As favonovel.com second aunt then stood up in anger, Xavia simply said, “Oh no, I would never! I honestly came here today to return the ten dollars to you! You know, I swore to myself back then that I’d repay the money by a hundred- no, by ten thousand times the amount one day!”
“Well today is that day! Do look out the window, Second and First aunt. The money I intend to return to you is all downstairs,” added Xavia as favonovel.com pointed toward the window.
Upon hearing that, both favonovel.com aunts were instantly stunned. Looking out the window, both of them covered their mouths in shock as soon as they peered down.
“My god!”
Their eyes were practically bulging out from their sockets as they stared at all the luxury cars that had been parked outside. That, however, wasn’t what shocked them most.
No, they were flabbergasted by the sight of several extremely full bags that had been placed in front of the cars. Even from afar, they could see the tips of green dollar bills peeking out of each bag.
It was nothing short of dazzling, and Xavia’s second aunt ended up wobbling over to the couch before sitting down feebly with a loud gulp.
All of a sudden, the entrance door was opened and Xavia’s team of black-suited bodyguards swiftly entered the house.
“Listen closely now. While the money downstairs is all yours, you won’t receive it until you’re able to tell my men the correct amount. Also, you aren’t allowed to eat or drink until you get the exact amount right. Don’t try anything funny either since my men will be keeping a close eye on you,” said Xavia coldly as favonovel.com glared at favonovel.com second aunt whose legs had now gone weak.
Nobody in that house even dared to even say another word after seeing all that.
