On the way home, my resentment grew stronger. Looking back, I was blinded by the illusory love and I didn't even own a single share of the company I co-founded with her. I obeyed her in everything and gave her everything she asked for, but in the end, I was just making things easier for others.

When I got home, my parents had already learned from Peter Smith that I had been fired, and their faces were terribly gloomy. Instead of comforting me, they were scolded.

Peter Smith since you were a kid , and now you don't even have a girlfriend and you've lost your job."

" I don't know what's the point of us paying for your college education! The relatives will be here soon, don't put on that sour face, you're not Ethan Smith now, go and beg Peter Smith, maybe he can give you a clerk position."

If today was not New Year's Eve, I would never have stepped into this broken house. Although I was extremely reluctant, I still had to face it.

However, what I didn't expect was that Sophia was also here! Peter Smith and Sophia sat down together . They were a perfect match. I had been dating Sophia for five years, but she never wanted to meet my parents or settle down early. I readily agreed, but she was willing to visit Peter Smith after only a few days. It was really puzzling. I sat on the sofa and entertained them with a forced smile. Peter Smith's mother smiled from ear to ear and kept praising Sophia to us.

"Sophia is the boss of a big company. You have to call her Sophia from now on. She is a strong woman with great abilities."

Sophia smiled shyly after being praised like this. But I was the only one who knew that Peter Smith's mother was kind on the surface, but in fact she was a woman who had a strong desire to control her son, and Peter Smith was also a complete mama's boy, but no one pointed it out.

If Sophia really marries him, she will suffer a lot!

"Wow, Sophia is the chairman? I have to say Peter Smith is lucky to have a CEO as his girlfriend. She is really a handsome man."

My mother quickly came forward to ask about his well-being.

" No need, auntie, how is your cousin doing recently?"

Before I could answer, my father glared at me and snorted coldly, full of anger.

"Don't mention it. Your cousin is almost 30 years old and was laid off by the company. I feel ashamed for him when I tell you about it!"

"Oh, so how about letting my cousin come to work in our company? Sophia is a very nice person, she will definitely be willing to take my cousin in."

Peter Smith smiled slyly. My mother looked at him gratefully and said to me quickly, "Oh, this is just a coincidence. Why don't you thank your brother! Even though he is so old, he is still not as good as Peter Smith in every way."

Peter Smith 's parents were all proud.

" Yes, Xiao Cheng is so old now, doesn't he have a girlfriend he has been dating for a long time? Let her go home to meet our parents and settle down as soon as possible. Although not everyone can find a girlfriend as good as Sophia like our Peter Smith."

Sophia's face was slightly stiff, and even Peter Smith couldn't stand it no matter how thick his skin was. I nodded with a half-smile and said, "I know, uncle."

My mother finally woke up from her dream and said quickly, "Yes, you've been dating your girlfriend for five years, why don't you bring her back for us to see? Is she some kind of ferocious beast that can't be seen by humans?"

"But, mom, you know, my girlfriend's name is also Sophia."

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, and my aunt laughed, trying to change the topic.

"Oh, what a coincidence, isn't this just a coincidence, haha."

I nodded calmly and said, "Yes, it's my cousin's girlfriend. Now that she's here, how can I bring her home to show you?"

"Oh, we just broke up. I should say ex-girlfriend."

"Isn't that right, Seamless Man?"

After I said this, the house was completely quiet. My mother suddenly got angry and slapped me.

It still hurts quite a bit.

I covered my face and felt it was swollen. Her face was red and she was extremely angry.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? You just can't stand seeing your brother getting better! If you still have this family in your eyes, kneel down and apologize to your brother right now!"

Peter Smith pretended to hold her back.

"Aunt, don't be angry. My cousin definitely didn't mean it." I snorted coldly and pushed her aside. "Let Peter Smith honor you in the future and treat him as your son. I want to see if he can help you in your old age."

Without waiting for her to say anything, I strode out of the house. I had been mad at you for more than twenty years, and now I was completely mad enough!
