Chapter 1
Chapter 1The luxurious Willson family villa is brightly lit.Tonight is the birthday banquet of the seventy-year-old Mrs. Willson, the head of the Willson family.Many grandchildren, granddaughters, and grandsons-in-law gave gifts.“Grandma, I heard that you love tea. This century-old Pu’er tea brick is worth 500,000 and is a birthday gift for you.”“Grandma, I heard that you believe in Buddha. This jade Buddha is carved from Hetian jade and is worth 700,000..Old Mrs. Willson looked at the various gifts and laughed, making the whole family happy.At this moment, Mrs. Willson’s eldest grandson-in-law, Charlie, suddenly said: “Grandma, can you lend me a million? Aunt Lena from the orphanage has uremia and needs money for treatment.”The entire Willson family was shocked.Everyone looked at Charlie with incredible eyes.This live-in son-in-law is too courageous, right? The Lady Willson was over her birthday. Not only did he not prepare any gifts, he even dared to open his mouth and ask the Lady Willson to borrow one million?Three years ago, the surviving Mr. Willson, don’t know from where found Charlie, and insisted on marrying his eldest granddaughter Claire Willson to him. At that time, Charlie was penniless, just like a beggar, same as now.After the two got married, the Old Master passed away. Since then, the Willson family has been deliberately trying to drive him away.It’s just that Charlie is indifferent, and is not moved by other people’s insults, so he has always been a live-in son-in-law in the Willson family.It is also helpless to ask the Lady Willson to borrow money today.Aunt Lena from the orphanage where he was taken in and saved, had uremia. Dialysis and kidney transplantation required at least one million. He really had no choice but to speak to the Lady Willson.He felt that today is the Lady Willson’s birthday, and then she may be kind and willing to help when she is happy.Unexpectedly, the Old Mrs. Willson was still laughing for a second, and she immediately pulled her face down this second.She threw the teacup in her hand to the ground and shouted angrily: “b*start thing, you are here to celebrate my birthday or to borrow money?”Charlie’s wife, Claire, hurried forward and explained to the Lady Willson: “Grandma, Charlie is ignorant, don’t be surprised.”With that said, she was about to pull Charlie aside.At this time, Claire’s cousin, Wendy, sneered and said, “Sister, look at what kind of rubbish your marriage is! Gerald and I were just engaged and not yet married, so Gerald gave grandma a Hetian Jade Buddha, it’s good for your husband, he didn’t bring any gifts, and he still have the face to ask grandma to borrow money!”“That’s right, Brother Charlie, we are both grandsons-in-law of the Willson family. You, as the eldest grandson-in-law, are really a failure!”The man who spoke was Wendy’s fiance, Gerald, the young master of a large local family.Although Gerald was about to marry Wendy, in his mind, Wendy’s appearance was a thousand miles away from Charlie’s wife Claire.Claire was a well-known goddess in Aurous Hill, but seeing the goddess marrying this worthless man and a waste of money, Gerald was also very upset.“This kind of garbage, it’s best to get him out of our Willson family as soon as possible!”“Yes! The Willson family’s face has completely lost this guy!”“I think it is fake that he borrowed money, and his interest in deliberately sweeping the birthday feast of the Lady Willson is true!”Charlie couldn’t help clenching his fists when he saw that the entire Willson family was targeting and insulting him.Had it not been for the medical expenses of the savior, he would have turned around and left this place of fake extravaganza and pomp.However, thinking of his father’s teachings to him since he was a child, letting his kindness of dripping water and retribution to the spring, he tried to suppress the humiliation in his heart, and said to the Old Mrs. Willson: “Grandma, saving a life is better than building a seventh-level Buddha. Please be merciful”Someone snorted coldly and cursed: “Wade, you don’t want to give grandma ecstasy here. If you want to have someone, you can find a way by yourself and don’t let your grandma pay to help you save people. What are you?”It was Wendy’s brother, Harold.The brothers and sisters have always had great opinions on Claire, who is superior to them in all aspects, so they like to seize the opportunity to mock Charlie the most.Claire on the side looked a little embarrassed and said, “Grandma, Charlie lost his father when he was eight years old. Aunt Lena from the orphanage brought him up. He wanted to repay his gratitude because of a grateful heart. Please help him”Old Mrs. Willson said with a dark face: “Let me help him? Okay, unless you divorce him and then marry Mr. Jones, if you do, I will immediately give him one million!”The Lady Willson was talking about Wendell, who had been pursuing Claire. The Jones family was an upper-class family in Aurous Hill, much more powerful than the Willson family, and the Lady Willson always wanted to curry favor.At this time, the housekeeper ran in and said loudly: “Mr. Jones sent someone with a birthday gift! A carved jade amulet from Laokeng is worth three million!”Mrs. Willson was overjoyed and blurted out: “Bring it quickly, let me see!”The butler immediately handed over an emerald green jade amulet, and everyone present let out a breath of surprise.This jade amulet is emerald green, crystal clear, without a trace of impurities, and looks like a first-class genuine product.Gerald, who had sent the Hetian Jade Buddha, saw this jade amulet, and his face was a little bit awkward. Unexpectedly, Wendell had nothing to do with the Willson family, and his shot was so generous!Old Mrs. Willson happily played with jade amulets and said merrily: “Oh, Mr. Jones is really interested! Only if he could be my grandson-in-law, I would really wake up in my dreams!”After that, she looked up at Claire: “How about my condition, would you like to consider it?”Claire shook her head: “Grandma, I will not divorce Charlie.”Mrs. Willson’s expression instantly turned into a haze, and she angrily cursed: “Don’t give me your face! You must hang on this rubbish! Let this rubbish get out of my face! My birthday banquet, he is not allowed to participate!”Charlie was completely disappointed, and he had no face to stay in the Willson family at this time, so he said to Claire, “Claire, I will go to the hospital to see Aunt Lena.”Claire hurriedly said, “Then I will be with you.”Old Mrs. Willson cursed at this moment: “If you leave too, I won’t have you as granddaughter in the future! You take your parents and your mother, and get out of Willson’s house with this waste!”Claire looked startled, and she didn’t expect the Lady Willson to say such harsh words.Charlie said hurriedly: “You stay, don’t worry about me.”With that said, before Claire recovered, he turned around and walked out.Harold laughed behind him, “Oh my good brother-in-law, you left hungry and won’t go to the streets to beg for dinner? In that case, our Willson family’s face will not let you lose all of it? I still have it. For a coin, you can buy a steamed bun to eat!”Harold said, took out a coin and threw it at Charlie’s feet.The entire Willson family burst into laughter.Charlie gritted his teeth and left the Willson family without looking back.When he rushed to the hospital, Charlie immediately went to the payment office, wanting to communicate with the hospital, and to inform them that the medical expenses would be delayed for another two days.However, when he asked the nurse, he was suddenly told that Aunt Lena had been sent to the best Hospital in Eastcliff overnight.Charlie was shocked, and hurriedly asked her: “How much does it cost? I’ll find a way!”The other party said: “A total of three million is needed. One million has been paid, and there is still a gap of two million. It will be paid in a week.”“Who paid this million?”The other party shook her head: “I don’t know either.”Charlie was surprised and was about to figure it out. When he turned his head, a man in a black suit with gray hair, about fifty years old, was standing behind him.With eyes facing each other, the man bowed to him and said, “Young master, you have suffered for so many years!”Charlie frowned, as if his temperament had changed, and asked coldly: “Are you Stephen Thompson?”The other party said in surprise: “Mr. Wade, you still remember me!”Charlie’s expression froze, and he murmured: “Of course I remember! I remember every one of you! Back then, you forced my parents to take me out of Eastcliff and escape all the way. During this time, my parents died unexpectedly. I have also become an orphan, so why are you looking for me now!”Stephen Thompson said very painfully: “Young Master, when your father passed away, Old Master Wade was also extremely sad. He has been looking for you for so many years. Now that it is all right, he wants you to come back to him with me!”Charlie said coldly: “You can go, I will never see him in my life.”Stephen Thompson said, “Young Master, do you still blame Master Wade?”“Of course.” Charlie said word by word: “I will never forgive him in my life!”“Hey” Stephen Thompson sighed and said: “Before I came, Master Wade said you might not forgive him.”“That means he has self-knowledge!”Stephen Thompson said: “Old Mr Wade. knows that you have suffered over the years, he wants to compensate you a little. If you don’t want to go back, he will buy the largest company in Aurous Hill and give it to you. In addition, he has asked me to give you this card. The password is your birthday.”With that, Stephen Thompson handed over a Citibank premium card.“Mr. Wade, there are only five such cards in the country.”Charlie shook his head and said, “Take it away, I don’t want it.”Stephen Thompson said: “Mr. Wade, for your savior, you still have a shortfall of 2 million in medical expenses. If you fail to pay, her life may be in danger.”Charlie frowned: “You deliberately fix me?”Stephen Thompson hurriedly said, “I don’t dare to! If you accept this card, it will be enough to pay the money.”Charlie asked, “How much money is in this card?”“Mr. said, this card is for you as a little pocket money, not much, a total of 10 billion!”
