My Down-and-Out Parents Turn Out to Be From a Wealthy Family

On New Year's Eve, my parents left me home alone again for triple pay.

Thinking about how they'd done this every year for the past twenty years, I couldn't bear another lonely New Year by myself. So I picked up some dumplings and went to find them.

To my surprise, the parents who kept saying they wanted to earn a little extra money got out of a luxury car, put their arms around a boy about my age, and chatted and laughed as they headed into a five-star hotel.

"Mom, Dad, is it really okay to leave Xu Nian home alone?"

My mother said casually, "It's fine. She's used to it."

My father said dismissively, "How could she compare to you? You're the apple of our eye!"

I turned and walked away. They'd pretended to be poor and lied to me. This time, I didn't want their company anyway!
