Chapter 22: Chapter 22 A Shameless Family

"I really was the one who paid for it; Mengyao ran out of money and used all she had to support the family." Xu Ke looked at the increasingly tense Lin Mengyao and said expressionlessly to Li Lihua.

"You said you paid for it, but you don’t have a job. Where did you get the money to buy a car?" Li Lihua asked incredulously.

"I won the lottery a couple of days ago. I thought it was inconvenient for Mengyao, as a girl, to take the crowded buses and subways to work every day, so I used the money to buy her a car."

"You used all the lottery money?" Li Lihua widened her eyes and asked Xu Ke.

"Yes, all of it." Xu Ke nodded and said.

"We’ve provided for you for so long, and the first thing you do with your winnings is not to buy something for dad and mom, but rather you use it all to buy your sister a car. You’re really an ungrateful wretch who knows nothing about filial piety." Li Lihua’s eyes were red with jealousy upon hearing that Xu Ke used his lottery winnings to buy things for Lin Mengyao.

At the dining table, not only Lin Mengchen but also Li Lihua’s eyes were red. She let out two deep breaths of suppressed frustration and said, "You’ve been freeloading off our family for so many years, and we haven’t asked you for a penny. If you had any conscience, wouldn’t the first thing you do after winning be to hand over the money to compensate for what our family has done for you all these years? Since you spent it on a car, the car belongs to our family. Don’t think that just because you spent the money, it belongs to you. Do you hear me?"
