When My Greedy Family Discovers I'm Rich from Livestreaming Chapter 2

My aunt Sarah came over and put her arm around my shoulders, fawning, "Oh my, Lily, you've become more and more beautiful. They say money nourishes a person, and it seems to be true!"

I smiled politely, "Aunt Sarah, you're joking. What does this have to do with money? I've always been pretty."

Aunt Sarah wasn't angry at my retort. "Yes, yes, our Lily has always been beautiful. Come, sit with us at our table."

She pulled me to a round table and sat me down. This was the main table for the groom's closest relatives.

I instinctively wanted to leave, but Aunt Sarah firmly held me in place. "Don't go, just sit here."

Aunt Sarah smiled at me, but I found it rather creepy. When most of the guests had arrived, the kitchen started serving the dishes.

While everyone around was chatting and laughing, the people at this table were silently staring at me. Aunt Sarah, sitting next to me, kept putting food on my plate. An ominous feeling swept over me.

Sure enough, Aunt Sarah spoke up: "Lily, what kind of work are you doing these days?"

I added a piece of braised beef to my plate. "Just a regular job, what else could I do?"

Megan snorted coldly: "You're no fun like this. I saw your account, you know. Over two million followers!"

I looked at her in confusion: "What account? What followers?"

Megan seemed surprised that I would deny it. She stood up and took out her phone to show me. "This one, with the username 'Sesame Seed.' Isn't this you?"

I shook my head, hiding my nervousness, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Megan became more agitated. "Fine, pretend you don't know. But I've already confirmed that this account is yours! You accept so many sponsorship deals every day, you must be making at least a million dollars a month, right?"

Everyone at the table's eyes lit up. "A million dollars? A million dollars a month? My goodness, that's incredible."

Megan came over trying to look at my phone, but I protected it, not letting her see.

She smugly said, "What are you hiding? Didn't you say you don't know what I'm talking about? You're really not being fair."

"We're all struggling here as a family, and you're secretly making a fortune? Without even helping us out!"

I put down my chopsticks and looked into her eyes, seeing nothing but greed.

"I really don't know what you're talking about. If I could make a million dollars a month, why wouldn't I tell you all?"

Megan didn't believe me at all. "Hmph, you say you don't have money. Then how did you get that Hermès bag? That bag must cost over a hundred thousand dollars, right? How could you afford such an expensive bag if you don't have money?"

I stood up and showed the bag to Megan. "Is this Hermès? Really? I just bought it online randomly. It only cost forty or fifty dollars!"

Megan came closer to examine my bag, looking at it for a while before taking out her phone to search for images online.

"You're lying, this is Hermès!" She showed the phone to Aunt Sarah sitting next to me.

"Aunt, look, isn't it exactly the same!"

Aunt Sarah looked at the phone and then at my bag. "It does look similar, but the capital H seems a bit different. See, it doesn't protrude on the sides. The one in the phone image protrudes."

Hearing this, Megan ran over to compare, "It really is different! Cousin, don't tell me you deliberately brought a fake bag to trick us."

My heart skipped a beat, she had actually guessed it, but I definitely couldn't admit it.

I quickly took out my phone and found the order. "I bought this several months ago, why would I trick you?"

Everyone immediately lost interest, looking at their phones as if the big money tree they imagined had suddenly vanished into thin air.

Uncle David muttered, "I knew all that talk about getting rich overnight was nonsense. People only have the fate of earning money through honest work. Our family just isn't destined for wealth."
