When I Became A Billionaire, I Was Abandoned By My Family1
A few years ago, I invested in an old, run-down apartment, and now it's been demolished for redevelopment. Overnight, I became a billionaire.
I called my mom and told her I'd be home soon.
She asked why I was coming back so suddenly.
Half-jokingly, I said, "Business isn't doing well. I went bankrupt."
She was silent on the other end of the line for a while before she finally responded with a simple "Okay."
When I got home, I rang the doorbell for a long time, but the person who answered was a complete stranger.
After asking around, I found out that my younger brother had won 20 million in the lottery, and he and my mom had moved out a long time ago. They kept it a secret.
Under the scorching sun, I followed the directions I was given and finally found a standalone duplex villa.
As I approached the door, I overheard my brother complaining, "The sun is so hot. Why are we rushing to deposit money in a fixed term? It's making me dizzy!"
Mom replied, "It's for your future wedding. Nancy's business failed. Are you planning to give the money back to her?"
