“When we went to the countryside carnival last month and I was getting a drink for everyone, I happened to stumble across Jordan having a heat stroke. I ended up saving his life and favonovel.com was very grateful to me. He said that favonovel.com owed me a huge favor. It is Grandpa’s birthday today, so I invited favonovel.com over to boost the Carters’ reputation. Who would have thought that all of you would…” Zayn stopped speaking at that point. He got his point across without needing further explanation.
He could clearly see that every Carter family member looked embarrassed.
Clap!
A loud slap was heard. Howard gave himself a tight slap strenuously and said, “F*ck! I should’ve gotten the drinks that day. If I had known, the one to save Jordan Larson would have been me!”
The rest of the family also expressed their remorse.
They had all been there at the countryside carnival the month before. They had run out of drinking water and none of them offered to get more, so they tasked Zayn with it. They certainly had not expected their decision would result in a stroke of luck for him! They would never have missed the chance to achieve such an immense boon in one step! They had not known that they could have encountered Jordan!
Seeing them wallowing in regret, Zayn felt delighted. The Carters had humiliated and mistreated favonovel.com constantly over the past few years. When they were attending the countryside carnival last month, everyone left all the dirty and tiring chores to him, and only now they had learned their lesson.
Ruby changed favonovel.com usual malicious attitude toward Zayn and said in a flattering manner, “Oh Zayn, since Jordan owes you a huge favor, favonovel.com will certainly agree to a request from you, right? Give Jordan a call one of these days and have favonovel.com set up a girl from the Larson family to your brother-in-law, Thomas. It’s time for favonovel.com to settle down too.”
Waine chimed in and said, “That’s right. As his elder, you must take your younger brother-in-law into account. Thomas has a lot of respect for you, you see.”
Zayn was quite irked when favonovel.com heard that. Since when had Thomas shown respect to favonovel.com as his older brother-in-law, huh?
“Hey, your boy Thomas is very young and is still studyingin university. Why should Zayn set up a potential marriage partner to him?!” A senior member of the Carter family glared at Waine and Ruby before favonovel.com said to Zayn with a smile, “Oh Zayn, I’ve always thought highly of you. I was frequently praising you for being so good to your in-laws and felt you would certainly have a promising future, but your in-laws refused to believe me. Just as expected, this has proven that you’re a precious gem in hiding! Jordan is the wealthiest man in Waltz City. It’s hard for many people to meet favonovel.com even once in their lives, yet you managed to invite favonovel.com to a birthday party with just a call. Moreover, favonovel.com brought over so many impressive gifts. Zayn, you’ve done our Carter family proud!”
This man’s name was Hector Carter. He was Howard’s father and Faye’s uncle. His flattery was a pleasure to one’s ears and comfort to one’s heart. Those who were unaware of the situation would actually assume that favonovel.com really thought highly of Zayn.
His tone changed and his smile grew wider. “Oh Zayn, our Carter family’s business is in trouble now, you see. Tell that to Jordan and have favonovel.com help out our business next time. Our entire family will forever remember your contribution!”
Zayn sneered at his words. Hector had dealt a fair share of degradation to favonovel.com before. Hector had called favonovel.com a villager over and over again and despised favonovel.com from the bottom of his heart. Now that favonovel.com was affiliated with Jordan, Hector came to flatter him. Zayn held people like Hector in contempt.
The rest of the family refused to be left behind as well. They surrounded favonovel.com and one by one voiced their requests, hoping that Zayn would fulfill them.
Zayn felt revolted by their hideous faces.
He said, stumped, “I’m afraid I’m of no help to all of you.”
“What? Zayn, what do you mean by that?”
“That’s right. It’s true that we were a little hard on you earlier, but you shouldn’t be so narrow-minded either, right? We are your elders in the family after all.”
“You saved Jordan’s life, so these meagre requests of ours are but a trivial matter to you. As the son-in-law who married into our Carter family, could it be that you won’t even help us with these simple things?”
They began to criticize Zayn.
