The day after my mother took the six million yuan from selling our family restaurant to buy my cousin a house, the girlfriend I'd been with for five years dumped me.
"Chen Yang," Lin Rui said, sitting across from me. "Let's break up."
My hands trembling, I asked, "Why?"
"I've waited for you for five years." Her eyes were red. "You said we'd have enough for a down payment once the restaurant was sold, and we could make a home for ourselves in Shanghai. So what now? Where's the money?"
I tried to explain, but she cut me off. "In your parents' eyes, you're not even as important as your cousin. So which one of you is really their son? I'm twenty-eight. I can't wait any longer."
She picked up her bag and walked away without a backward glance.
My phone buzzed. Mom had sent a photo of my cousin posing in his new home.
She happily sent a voice message, her joy practically spilling through the screen. "Your cousin's future is all settled. We can finally relax."
Looking at his smug smile in the photo, I laughed until I cried.
I left the "Chen Family Together Forever" group chat and blocked every relative.
If you've chosen my cousin, then from now on, your good name and family affection have nothing to do with me.
I just wonder, when the precious nephew you raised with every penny you had drives you out of his house, will you remember the son you abandoned today?
Shit again, so disgusting
