I Am Super Rich
"Okay, Mr. Carson, it's a deal then, but I hope I can donate anonymously and that I am not gawked at like a monkey wherever I walk around in the campus."
"No problem."
Just like that, David was taken by Oliver to the university's finance department. Olver even called over the heads of South River University.
After the donation was completed and 100 million was received, the heads of South River University still felt like they were in a dream.
In the past, when someone donated a few million dollars, they would host a conference with much fanfare to publicize it, but now donating 100 million dollars was completed so easily.
David's name was also on university heads' lists. He was definitely someone with money, so they would try their best not to offend him.
"Mr. Lidell, thank you for your contribution to the construction of South River University. On behalf of all the teachers and students of the school, I sincerely thank you," Oliver said while holding David's hand tightly.
A donation of 100 million dollars was definitely a first in history. Now, David was still a student and he did not want to be famous and be watched.
When he graduated, he could publicize this matter, and then the reputation of the university would be improved according to the situation.
A third-year student, who started a business outside to make money, donated 100 million directly to the school. How strong was his sense of belonging that he would do this?
Moreover, he could make so much money by starting a business in the third year, which showed that the education of the university was very good!
Oliver's heart blossomed with joy.
This would not only benefit the university but also increase its popularity and attract more students, killing two birds with one stone.
"Mr. Carson, you are too kind. South River University is also my alma mater and it's the place that educated me to become a talented person. I believe that every future student will also want to do something to contribute to South River University," David replied politely.
Then, the heads of the school shook David's hand and thanked him. David also responded to them politely one by one.
Because David did not want to publicize this, the school did not hold any donation ceremony.
After the donation, David left the school and continued to take time off. Going to class was not very important to him now.
Moreover, he had maximum mind power and he could learn everything super fast. Hence, he felt that he would not fail his class, and would only go to the more important classes.
Even if he failed, he believed that the university would let him pass.
It was the weekend again.
After half a month of recuperating, Sally's body was almost healed.
They planned to go back to Shu City together this weekend to move some needed things over.
David was also going to pick up Aunt Diana's family whereby he would see how to convince them to move to River City. While he was there, he would go and ask for his parents' compensation back.
David felt that he could only do his own things without worries after he settled his family down.
Lily went back to university half a month ago. Hence, Sally's family of three, David, and the two drivers, Wayne and Gordon, rushed to Shu City on Friday evening.
David bought another G Wagon so that Wayne and Gordon could each drive one.
These former mercenaries would be fine if they did not sleep for three or two days, let alone drive for a few hours.
They departed at 6 p.m., and it was already midnight by the time they arrived in Shu City.
After David sent Aunt Sally's family home, he, Wayne, and Gordon found a hotel in the county.
Sally wanted David to stay at their home. After all, he had lived here for two years.
However, now David felt that he and Jacey were both grown up, and both of them should have their privacy. It was more comfortable to live alone, and it felt a little awkward to sleep with Jacey.
It did not seem appropriate to stay in Lily's room either, so he could only go to stay in a hotel. With that, he insisted on leaving with Wayne and Gordon.
When he was leaving, David asked for the agreement signed with his Uncle Bobby's name.
"Dave, in reality, according to your ability, that compensation is nothing to you, but I know that you are angry. Bobby is indeed wrong for doing some of those things, but at the end of the day, he is still your uncle. He raised you for several years and I hope you won't overdo it," Sally said earnestly when she handed the agreement to David.
"I understand, Aunt Sally. I just want to get back the things that belong to me," David said.
"Okay, I believe you. Run along now."
The next day, David took Wayne and Gordon to his Uncle Bobby's house.
Based on what David knew about Uncle Bobby and Aunt Karen, it was absolutely impossible that they obediently hand over the compensation.
Therefore, the previous night, David contacted the best lawyer in River City and sent the agreement to the other party.
Because of the agreement in hand, the other party claimed that there were almost no doubts when it came to this lawsuit.
The lawyer should also have been on his way to Shu City by then.
Moreover, he used some relationships to conduct the people in the court system. The other party said that as long as the evidence was conclusive, it would be dealt with as quickly as possible.
Uncle Bobby's residence was located in the suburbs of Shu City. It was a self-built house with three floors, and it was built together by David's father and David's Uncle Bobby.
In other words, half of this house was actually David's, but after David's custody was awarded to Bobby, the house naturally fell under Bobby's ownership.
David and his gang soon came to Bobby's house.
Upon entering the yard, they saw Aunt Karen watering the flowers in the yard. After she saw David coming, she snorted and turned back to the house.
It was obvious that she did not welcome David.
David brought Wayne and Gordon into the house.
Since it was Saturday, Bobby's family of four were all home.
There were his Uncle Bobby, Aunt Karen, and cousins Felicia and Quin.
However, when they saw David, none of them wanted to pay any attention to him. They simply watched television while minding their own business.
David smiled nonchalantly and walked to the center of the living room. Then, he placed the agreement in his hand on the coffee table and said, "Bobby, this is the agreement you signed back then. Hurry up and give me my parents' compensation. I won't make things hard for you. I don't want this house, and I'll just treat it as a fee for staying here for the past few years."
David did not address Bobby as Uncle Bobby anymore, he straight up called him by his name. David was traumatized by his uncle after staying here for so many years.
"What agreement? What compensation? I don't know anything. David, don't listen to the nonsense spewed by Aunt Sally and the rest. There's no such thing," Bobby denied.
"Bobby, don't you think it's meaningless for you to not admit to it? It's written in black and white, and there was a record taken in the court at the time. Do you think you can just play dumb?"
Bobby did not speak, but Karen started screaming.
"David, you unscrupulous brat, do you think we didn't spend money on you all those years you lived here? We provided you with food, clothes, and daily necessities. Let me tell you, your parents' compensation was all spent on you. There's not a single penny left."
David found a stool and sat down. He said, "Come, help me do the math. How did I spend two million as a teenager? If you can calculate it for me, I won't ask for the money back."
"Do you think clothes, food, and daily necessities are free?" Karen exclaimed.
"I remember that when I lived here for a few years, I ate the food you had leftover and I wore clothes that Felicia wore. You asked me to go to school as a boy in girls' clothes, yet you dare to say out loud that you spent money on me? As for daily necessities, did you ever give me a penny while I was studying? It was all funded by Aunt Sally and Aunt Diana, okay?"
Karen was speechless and said rascally, "Anyway, your parents' money has been spent on you a few years ago. There's nothing left to ask for."
David picked up the agreement on the coffee table and said, "Look closely. It's clearly written here on the agreement, which Bobby signed. Plus, the court also has a record of it, If you don't fulfill it, I will sue you in court."
"Go ahead! We're not scared. The money's already gone anyway," Karen said, seemingly fearless.
"Think closely then. With this proof and the record in court, there are no doubts anymore. When the time comes and you're being labeled as dishonest executors, not only will your assets be frozen, but it'll also even affect Felicia's work," David smiled and said.
From what David knew, his cousin Felicia was working in a bank in Shu City. She also got in after Bobby did everything he could to pull some strings.
If they were labeled as dishonest executors, it would definitely affect Felicia's work since she was working in a bank and her parents were dishonest. That was why David said that.
Indeed, when David said that, Bobby's entire family was shocked.
They pulled so many strings to get Felicia her job. Their daughter was working in a bank and they were very proud of her. If this case affected Felicia's work, then it would be very serious.
Felicia panicked. The bank valued trust the most, and if her parents were dishonest executors, it would really affect her. They might even find a chance to fire her.
Being able to work in a bank was very advantageous in their small county. She often showed off in her circle of friends and classmates. If this was gone, how would she live?
Thinking of this, Felicia looked at her parents with some resentment.
"David, don't mess around. Let me tell you, if you dare to interfere with Feli's work, I will never forgive you!" Bobby threatened.
Bobby had always beaten David since he was small, so even after high school, David was a little scared to see him.
Although he did not know why David dared to ask for the money back today, he had a psychological advantage over David.
"Bobby, how do you intend to punish me? I really want to know. Will you still run around the yard and beat me like when I was a kid? You can try it now."
After David finished speaking, his smiling face suddenly turned serious.
Bobby's words reminded him of his tragic childhood.
Back then, whenever Bobby did something wrong, he would push the blame onto David and then David would be beaten horribly.
Whenever the family was in a bad mood, they would also beat David to vent their anger.
They would use a very thin stick to beat him. So, it was normal for David to be covered in wounds which hurt a lot.
Things became better when he asked to stay in a dormitory when he was in junior high. Back then, he rarely came back whenever there was a break. He would only go to Aunt Sally or Aunt Diana's house.
He only moved to Aunt Sally's house when he was in senior high, thus leaving this traumatizing family behind.
After David said that, his smile became serious, which instantly made Bobby and his family feel a lot of pressure. Now, they were all looking at David in astonishment.
Although they had not seen David in a long time, David was a yes-man in their eyes.
When David met Bobby and his wife, he would act like a mouse in front of a cat. In addition to that, he was also cautious when he saw Felicia and Quin.
This was the trauma they had given David after many years of abuse.
In the past, David would not dare to refute Bobby and his wife. If he ever dared to talk back, he would be beaten.
When they first met David today, they naturally thought he was still the same as before.
Even if David brought two people with him, they did not pay attention to them at all. They did not believe that a timid person like David would dare to do anything to them.
However, David not only dared to refute them now, but he also spoke with sarcasm, which made Bobby unable to accept this strong contrast. He could not bear the fact that he lost his respect.
Therefore, he slapped the coffee table in front of him, stood up, pointed at David, and said, "David, don't think that I won't dare to hit you now that you've grown up. Do you think you can call me by my name? I'm your second uncle and I am your guardian. I dared to beat you all over the courtyard when you were a child and I still dare to do it now!"
Quin also looked at David with an unpleasant look on his face at this time. He grew up with David and he was only one year younger than David. With the help of his parents, he often bullied David when he was a child.
He would blame David for everything and David was often made his scapegoat. Hence, David would be beaten instead of him and now, he had a natural psychological advantage against David.
Even now that he was twenty years old, he still had not been admitted to any university after graduating from high school. Moreover, he had been wandering aimlessly through society and he had come into contact with some bad people, which made him feel even more superior.
Now, David dared to come to his house to ask for money and sneer at them. Quin's mother told him that the money was for him to marry a wife and buy a house in the future. That money had nothing to do with David.
"David, if you're disrespectful to my dad again and call him by name, don't blame me for being rude to you!" Quin also interjected.
David turned his head to look at Quin and said in a flat voice, "Quin, shut up, you punk. I'll settle the matter with you later."
"Damn it! How dare you talk to me like that? You're asking to be beaten up!"
After Quin finished speaking, he stood up from the sofa and wanted to rush over to hit David.
However, the moment Quin got up, he was pressed back onto the sofa by a big hand such that he was unable to move.
"F*ck, who are you? If you don't let go now, I will make sure you can't leave Shu City, do you believe me?" Quin struggled desperately, but no matter how hard he tried, he still could not overpower the big hand. Gordon did not reply to any of Quin's curses, he simply pressed Quin down a little harder.
It immediately made Quin feel a little suffocated such that he could not swear at all, so he could only stretch out his hand and wave it randomly in the air.
Gordon was a mercenary abroad, so he naturally did not have to waste too much effort to deal with a gangster like Quin.
Seeing that Quin was being pushed against the sofa and unable to move, Karen, who was sitting next to him, immediately got up to help him.
However, she was pushed by Wayne, who suddenly appeared in front of her. She was then also pushed down by a huge force until she fell onto the sofa.
Seeing this situation, Bobby could not endure this anymore. He stood up and wanted to look for a weapon. His wife and son were being bullied, so how could he simply endure this?
"Bobby, you'd better sit still. These two have been mercenaries abroad. They had been baptized in the war and they have blood on their hands. Do you think you can beat them?" David said as he looked at Bobby.
Bobby was about to go look for weapons when he heard David's voice. His body suddenly froze as he turned to look at Wayne and Gordon.
Wayne and Gordon also released some of the bloody aura they had developed on the battlefield at this time.
Immediately, the four members of Bobby's family felt cold, and they looked at the two of them with fear in their eyes.
Bobby's family were ordinary people, and they naturally could not resist the aura released by the masters who had been baptized on the battlefield like Wayne and Gordon.
Bobby sat down cautiously and said, "David, what the hell do you want?"
"I just want to get back what belongs to me and take back my parents' compensation. As for this house, I'll just regard this as a token of appreciation for you not killing me throughout those years I stayed here. If you had been more ruthless back then, maybe David Lidell wouldn't have existed now," David said sarcastically.
"There's no money but I have one life. I don't believe you'll dare to do anything to us!" Karen yelled.
This money was for her son Quin to marry a wife and buy a house. If this was given to David, since Quin had no job yet, what would he do in the future?
In addition, this compensation built up a lot of interest every year. Without this money, their family's life would be difficult.
Therefore, they absolutely could not give David the money.
Bobby had already wanted to agree, after all, the opponent was powerful and the pair who came with David were not easy to deal with at first glance.
However, when he heard what Karen said, he came back to his senses too.
Yeah, if they did not give David the money, would David dare to do anything to them? So what if they were mercenaries abroad? They were not abroad anyway. Would they dare to kill them?
"David, we finished spending the money. You won't get anything no matter how badly you want it. Plus, I am your second uncle, and I am your guardian. I have the right to manage this money," Bobby said.
David wanted to laugh.
Second uncle?Guardian?
"Bobby, do you know what a guardian is? Are you even worthy to be called that? Even if you're a guardian, I'm an adult now, so you are not my guardian anymore. I don't care whether you have money or not. It's written clearly in this agreement which you've signed. You said you'll give me back the money when I turn 18. I won't ask for the interest either."
"I don't have any money!" Bobby insisted.
"Alright, I've hired the best lawyer in River City and they should be on their way here now. I think you'll get a summon from the court this afternoon. Think carefully," David said.
"You…"
At that moment, Bobby did not know what to do.
If they gave David the money, their son Quin's life would not be guaranteed.
If they did not and David sued them, they would definitely lose with the evidence David had. When the time came, it would be troublesome if this matter affected their daughter Felicia's work.
On one hand, he needed to guarantee his son's life in the future. On the other hand, their daughter's work they wasted so much effort on was in danger.
Bobby and Karen did not know how to choose.
The living room fell silent for a while.
David did not urge them either. He was still sitting in the chair leisurely as if waiting for the other party to make a decision.
"David, if you want money, we don't have it. You can just sue us! We don't have any money even if we are charged! If you don't believe me, you can kill me right now!"
Ultimately, Karen made the decision.
This was basically equivalent to choosing money and giving up the future of her daughter Felicia.
Bobby breathed a sigh of relief. Since Karen had made the decision, then so be it!
"Mom, how could you do this?" Felicia cried while looking at Karen.
However, Karen did not say anything to her.
At the end of the day, Felicia was a daughter, and she would definitely be married off in the future while the son was the one who would look after Bobby and her when they were old and arrange a proper burial for them after they die.
So, of course, they would choose money!
"Since you have decided not to back this money, just wait for the summons from the court in the afternoon. I don't want to waste my breath talking to you," David said indifferently.
In truth, David expected Bobby and his wife to make such a decision, so he was not surprised.
He had already expected this to happen, so he contacted the lawyer first and asked him to come over as soon as possible.
"Now, let's move on to another matter," David said, standing up and walking over to Quin and Gordon. Gordon's hand that was on Quin's chest grabbed Quin's clothes directly and lifted him off the sofa.
Quin was already paralyzed with fright as most of Gordon's murderous intent was directed at him just now.
Although he was a gangster in a small county-level city and had been in a few fights, how could he endure the aura of a master like Gordon?
"Quin, I don't want to quibble with you about the things that happened when we're children, but how dare you touch Aunt Sally? I'll settle this account with you properly."
"D-David, if you have the balls, you'll let me call my people. I promise you won't be able to get out of Shu City," Quin said weakly.
At this moment, he was still threatening David, thinking that he could do whatever he wanted just because he knew some bad people in Shu City.
Slap!
David slapped Quin in the face. Although he did not use much force, David's current physique was much stronger than that of ordinary people. Hence, Quin's face swelled up instantly.
There were even traces of blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.
"David, don't do anything stupid! You're breaking the law!" Bobby shouted from one side.
"Oh? So, apparently you do know when something is illegal. Are you not breaking the law by withholding my parents' compensation from me?" David replied.
Seeing half of her son's face swelled up after getting slapped by David, Karen took out her phone and wanted to call the police.
However, it was snatched by Wayne and thrown to the ground.
Slap!
David ignored the others and slapped Quin's face once again. This time, both sides of his face were swollen, making him look like a balloon.
Quin's tears flowed after David's two slaps as it hurt too much.
Both Bobby and Karen looked very distressed, but they were helpless as they were being controlled by others.
"Come on, say more harsh things to me," David said. Quin watched David silently with tears in his eyes.
"What? Do you not dare to do it anymore? Then why did you hit my Aunt Sally?" David continued.
Quin remained silent.
"Tell me!" David roared.
Bobby's family was so frightened they shuddered.
"H- didn't hit her, I j-just gently p-pushed her," Quin said while shaking.
He was really scared now. David was like a different person after not seeing him for two to three years. It made him a little scared.
"Just a gentle push? Then how did she hurt her waist so bad that she couldn't get out of bed for half a month?" David asked Quin with a cold light in his eyes.
"I-I don't… don't know."
"You don't know?" David reached for Quin's chin.
"I really d-don't know! David, I-I was wrong! P-Please spare me!" Quin cried.
Quin was begging for mercy. He really had no choice. David was putting too much pressure on him now.
David smiled and released Quin.
Gordon dropped him too.
Quin sat back on the sofa immediately, gasping for breath.
David turned his head to look at Bobby and said, "Bobby, to be honest, to me, I really don't care about the money. I didn't want to ask for it initially, but Quin dared to hurt my Aunt Sally, so he's the one you should blame. Remember to transfer the money earlier if you can do it. The court will freeze all the property in your family's name in the afternoon at the earlier. See you in court."
After David finished speaking, he turned and left the living room.
Gordon and Wayne also left with David.
Bobby's family looked at each other in the living room.
They could all see the shock in each other's eyes.
They had not seen David for two years and the ‘Yes-Man’ back then had become so powerful and so domineering.
Back then, David was the first one to wake up in their family and the last one to sleep. He would eat worse than a pig and did more work than a cow. Sometimes, he would even be beaten ruthlessly.
The sudden change of status made it hard for them to accept in an instant.
"W-What should we do?" Karen asked.
She was also terrified by David.
"Go! Go borrow a card from your parents and we'll move the money there. If not, everything will be frozen!" Bobby quickly said.
The family rushed to Karen's maternal home completely ignoring the wound on Quin's face.
As long as their money was still here, that wound was nothing!
Over the years, Bobby's family had been living a pretty carefree life because of the two million compensation from David's parents.
They also rented out David's former house.
The annual interest plus the rent was enough for their family to live on, so they did not work at all.
Now, there was only a little bit of money left in the family. If it was frozen, then their life would be difficult.
As a result, when they got the card and went to the bank to transfer money, they found that their bank card was not working and was temporarily unavailable.
This was of course done by David. He just wanted to give Bobby and his family a little hope and then slowly turn it into despair.
Bobby and his family made a fuss in the bank. This was all their assets so they would not give up easily even though it did not belong to them anymore.
However, how would the bank allow them to make such a fuss there? In the end, the bank called the police, and the entire family was brought back to the station.
There, the police charged them with disturbing the peace and informed them that they were going to keep them in administrative detention for five days.
After that, Bobby's family, who was still in the police station, received a summons from the court. At the same time, all assets under their names were frozen.
Now, the entire family knew that they were done for.
After David left Bobby's house, David asked Wayne and Gordon to drive a car to Aunt Sally's house to help them to move their things.
He drove to Aunt Diana's house by himself.
He wanted to find a way to get Aunt Diana's family to move to River City like Aunt Sally. The house was ready, plus, they could just take a job at the Golden Leaf Hotel so they could get income and live comfortably.
He had already handed over Bobby's matter to the lawyer and had informed them using his connections. Hence, he did not need to pay attention to the matter anymore. It was not like he was short of money.
Aunt Diana was another light in David's life apart from Aunt Sally. She had also been very good to him.
Since junior high, Bobby stopped spending any money on David, so some of David's living expenses and books were paid for by his two aunts.
In his third year of high school, because of the heavy academic work, it was inconvenient for him to study since he could only stay in the same room with Jacey at Aunt Sally's house, so he moved to Aunt Diana's house for a year and worked hard for the college entrance examination.
Now that he had the ability, he had to first take care of the two families so that he could feel at ease.
Aunt Diana's home was in an old residential area in Shu City. Aunt Diana and her husband were both employees of a nearby factory. They only had one daughter, who was four years older than David. Her name was Judy Tanner.
David drove the G-Wagon directly to a familiar residential area. Since it was already a very old residential area, there was no watching the gate. After parking the car downstairs, David went upstairs to Aunty Diana's home.
Walking down the corridor where he had lived for a year, David felt a little emotional. He seldom came here since he left for college.
It was not that he was ungrateful and unappreciative, but instead, he would go to work part-time during the winter and summer breaks.
He also wanted to make more money himself and try to lighten some of the burden on Aunt Sally and Aunt Diana. That was why he did not often come to visit.
The situation at Aunt Diana's house was slightly different from that at Aunt Sally's.
When Aunt Diana gave birth to his cousin Judy, something went wrong and she was unable to get pregnant again.
Because of this incident, the relationship between her and her husband deteriorated, and they even wanted to get a divorce a few times. However, it gradually got better toward the end.
Also, since the couple did not have a son, after David's parents passed, they fought hard for custody over David.
However, David did not choose them at that time, which led to Uncle Alex Tanner not liking David very much after David moved into their house.
David went to the fourth floor and knocked on the door to Aunt Diana's house.
Knock knock!
Soon the old security door opened from the inside. A familiar face appeared before David's eyes. It was Aunt Diana.
"Dave! Aren't you at university in River City? Why are you back? Come in!" Diana asked.
However, there was clearly a hint of joy in her tone.
Because Diana did not have a son, she genuinely treated David as her son.
"Aunt Diana, it's the weekend, so I came back to see you," David replied.
"Come in, come in, don't stand outside."
Diana grabbed David's hand and pulled David into the house. After entering the room, David found that seven or eight people were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
In addition to Uncle Alex and cousin Judy, his fourth uncle, Leslie Lidell, was also there. David did not know the other people.
"Uncle Alex, Uncle Leslie, Judy," David walked over and greeted them one by one.
The three also nodded in response to David.
Uncle Leslie's relationship with David was rather normal. Even though he did not help David, he did not hold any grudges against him either.
Aunt Diana's family and Uncle Leslie's family were close. As for Uncle Bobby, they had stopped interacting with him after David's incident.
"Dave, let me introduce you. This is Judy's boyfriend, his name is Jude Holton and these are his parents. This is Jude's aunt, and this is his cousin," Aunt Diana walked over and pointed to the five people David did not know as she introduced them one by one.
"Hello everyone!" David greeted them all but was ignored.
Only then did David realize that something was wrong. Cousin Judy's eyes were red, as if she had just cried. Uncle Alex also seemed rather angry where he sat.
"In-laws, this is my nephew, my third brother's son! He's currently studying at a university in River City," Diana introduced David to the others.
After being introduced, David followed his aunt Diana to the kitchen to prepare food. The atmosphere in the living room was too solemn and he did not want to stay there.
However, Aunt Diana chased him out since his Aunt Lisa was in the kitchen and his help was not needed.
Without another choice, David sat in the living room and pretended to be preoccupied with what was showing on the television.
He had originally planned to come clean with his aunt Diana about his current financial situation and persuade them to move to River City with him. However, there were too many people here for him to say anything, so he would have to wait for the next opportunity to tell her.
At this moment, Judy's future father-in-law started talking.
"So, what do you think about our suggestion?"
"I don't agree!" Alex replied angrily.
"Then what do you want? Don't tell me you want my son to come and live in a house as run-down as this! How many years have you lived here, huh? There isn't even a good school nearby, where will their children study? How do you plan to solve the issue of education? I would have broken them up if not for how deeply in love they were!"
"Mom! What are you saying?" Jude shouted.
"Shush, Jude. Don't tell me you actually plan to stay here your whole life? You're our only son, there's no way I would allow you to live with them!" Jude's mother insisted.
Jude did not say anything more. He did not want to live in this place forever either. Extremely infuriated, Alex wanted to refute but could not say anything. Their family conditions were indeed worse than Jude's.
It was indeed too much to ask for Jude to marry and stay with them, but Judy was his only daughter and he did not want her to move out.
He wanted to be able to play with his grandchildren after he retired.
If his daughter married out, then he and his wife would end up alone and pitiful after they retired.
Just then, Diana walked out and said, "Actually, we've already decided to buy a house. We've been looking at some options lately, so you don't need to worry about their child's education."
"Buy a house? You think I don't know about your financial situation? Both you and your husband are just ordinary laborers! There's no way you can buy a house! Do you know how expensive houses are these days? Even second-handed houses are expensive, and there's no way my son's living in a second-handed house after marriage!"
Diana remained quiet.
They were indeed planning to buy a second-handed house in a school area, a rather old one at that. They just could not afford a new house. Judy started sobbing quietly.
Her parents wanted her boyfriend Jude to move in after they got married, while her boyfriend's parents strongly disagreed. Most importantly, her family conditions were not as nice as her boyfriend's, and she too wanted to give her child a good educational environment.
The only thing stopping her from agreeing with her boyfriend's parents was that she felt bad for her own mom and dad.
However, since she was already pregnant now, they had to move the wedding forward. They could not afford to drag the issue of where to stay on any longer. All Jude could do was pat her shoulder silently next to her. He did not have a win-win solution either.
After listening to them for a while, David finally got a general idea of what was going on.
Judy was pregnant now, so they had to get married soon.
However, Uncle Alex wanted the newlywed couple to move in with them after they got married.
Judy's future in-laws did not agree because of Aunt Diana's poor family conditions, and they were worried about the child's future education.
This issue had been going on for almost a month and seeing how Judy's unborn child was growing larger day by day, the wedding could not be postponed.
However, there had not been a solution that both sides could agree to.
David realized that the heavens were on his side.
His biggest problem currently was how to persuade Aunt Diana and her family to move over to River City. Especially when they had lived here for decades. Had it not been for Jacey, Aunt Sally's family might also be a hassle to persuade.
Now was the perfect time for him to suggest a solution. Since Judy's in-laws would not accept a second-handed house, then what about the first-handed house he owned in South River International Residence worth a hundred million dollars? They should have no qualms accepting that.
If the in-laws were worried about education, the best school in South River Province was right beside South River International Residence!
There was even a kindergarten. There was nothing they could say to decline him. David's mood immediately brightened. He ate happily during lunch.
