Chapter 288 - 290: Love Even in Death
Su Nian studied his face carefully before saying with certainty, "Your wife is ninety-three. She really doesn’t have much longer to live."
The moment she said that, the live comments exploded with exclamation points.
[Ninety-three?! Did I hear that right? This young guy is in his twenties at most, and his wife is ninety-three?!!!]
[No wonder he’s so rich, with that Green Water Ghost watch and a custom-tailored suit. And the streamer said he was just from a well-off family. Turns out his wife is ninety-three!]
[I thought I’d seen it all, but I guess I was too naive. I can’t believe this kind of thing actually happens.]
[My apologies, I’ve clearly been living under a rock.]
[So, your wife is ninety-three?]
"Yes, she is indeed ninety-three years old."
The most shocking thing, however, was Lego’s unflappable attitude.
As if it were just a perfectly ordinary matter.
The viewers were awestruck by his shamelessness, and their comments grew even more savage, directly asking the question on everyone’s mind.
[So do you guys kiss?]
[I... I really have no words for this.]
[Different strokes for different folks, I guess. I wish him all the best!]
Aside from these shocked comments, many viewers were simply stunned into silence, seemingly forgetting what to say.
But Lego just smiled faintly and nodded, looking as if he was already used to all of this.
"I truly love her, not for her money."
Su Nian watched him stubbornly stick to his story and smiled. Instead of exposing him directly, she asked,
"Then why are you asking when she’s going to die?"
"I’m just too worried about her."
He said that, but he couldn’t hide the smiling glint in his eyes.
Su Nian shook her head and tore off his fig leaf.
"You’ve only been married to Wu Guifang for three months, right? You just want to inherit her money. But you should think long and hard about whether you’ll live to enjoy it."
Lego thought Su Nian was looking down on him. Used to being put on a pedestal, his face fell.
"What do you mean? Even if I inherit her fortune, it’s what I deserve!"
The stark contrast in Lego’s attitude left the viewers speechless.
[What kind of person is he? One moment he says it’s for love, the next he says he deserves the fortune.]
[It’s all about the money!]
[Ugh, I can’t stand it! Men are all the same!!]
But Su Nian just shot him a faint, knowing smirk.
"Do you really think you’re set for life?"
That look sent a jolt of fear through Lego.
He panicked instantly. He knew how formidable Su Nian was, and in a split second, he completely changed his attitude.
His flippant grin vanished, replaced by a sincere expression.
"Master, do you mean my name isn’t in her will? But she has no children, and at the very least, I’m her husband. How could she not include me? That’s so cruel!"
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but start to complain.
Su Nian’s eyebrows arched slightly as she answered his first question.
"She will pass away tonight."
[I’m dying, is this scumbag really going to get that rich old lady’s huge fortune?]
[To be honest, I’m jealous too, but I just don’t have the nerve to do it.]
[Never mind other stuff. A fifty-something with a twenty-something, okay. Even an old man with a young woman, fine. But this is a grandma-grandson romance! I really can’t accept it!!]
[Gold-digging from a sugar mama is one thing, but that huge age gap is honestly making me sick.]
Hearing that the rich old lady was really about to die, Lego’s expression grew even more urgent.
"Streamer, tell me! Don’t tell me she messed with the will? She has no children! Can’t the money just go to me?"
"What on earth did she do! Streamer, I’m begging you, tell me quickly. Maybe there’s still a chance for me to change things."
"If I get the money, her three hundred million, I’ll give you one hundred million, how about it? I’m begging you!"
Lego’s true colors were completely revealed in that instant.
Perhaps because he knew how accurate Su Nian was, he began to grovel, just so Su Nian would tell him what secret his wife was hiding.
Su Nian shook her head, a smirk playing on her lips. "Don’t worry. You are, indeed, her last living relative."
Su Nian emphasized the word "relative," and when the man heard it, he relaxed a little.
"So that means her money should all be left to me, right?"
"It’s not that I really want the money, it’s just that I’ve worked really hard, you know."
Su Nian concealed the sarcasm in her eyes, her lips curling into a faint smile.
"That’s right. After all, you’re her one and only treasure in this world. Don’t worry, she won’t forget you even in death."
[I don’t know why, but I feel like this rich grandma isn’t thinking straight. Can’t she see through this man’s disguise?]
[Maybe she’s old and just too lonely.]
[To be honest, no matter how rich she is, there probably aren’t many guys who would cozy up to someone her age.]
[Forget it. Actually, even though I’m dissing Lego, if it were me, I couldn’t resist either. That’s three hundred million! And she doesn’t have long to live anyway.]
[Sigh, to be honest, if it were me, I probably couldn’t resist either.]
[Bro upstairs, I admire your honesty. And let me just add, if it were me, I’d become the rich old lady’s boyfriend too.]
When Lego saw these comments, he felt even more certain that he hadn’t chosen the wrong path.
’A little hardship now, then a lifetime of Xingfu and joy!’
A smile even spread across his face.
"Master, hearing you say that has put me at ease. I thought she really wasn’t going to leave me anything. You know, this line of work is really tough."
Before Su Nian could reply, he launched into the story of how he first met the rich old lady.
"I’m a pretty pragmatic person. To be honest, I was really in it for the money from the start."
"From the very beginning, every step of how we met was calculated."
He boasted smugly, and while his shameless display made some of the men in the chat envious, it utterly disgusted most of the female viewers.
[I can’t even. How can someone be so disgusting?]
[Is he about to give a tutorial or something?]
[Other guys try to land a sugar mama, but he goes for a sugar granny! His mind is truly filthy.]
[And here I was thinking, are all men a lost cause? How are other guys actually trying to learn from him?]
[I’m done. There isn’t a single normal man in this world.]
[So disgusting. What’s wrong with these guys? They actually want to make a move on a grandmother. Not a fifty-something, not a sixty-something, but a ninety-something!]
"It’s just like you all said. She’s old, so it was easy to sweet-talk her. Then, I just pretended to comfort her every day, slowly changing myself into the type of person she likes. And then, just three months after we met, I married her."
Lego’s face was a mask of smug pride as he arrogantly lectured them with his "experience."
But Su Nian couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"You’re really foolish enough to think I was praising you?"
"You are indeed her most treasured darling. That’s why she’s decided that even in death, she’s taking you with her."
"’Love you even in death’... It’s quite touching, when you think about it."
