Chapter 2

Hearing what I said, Lin Jiang wouldn't have it.

"Brother, you stay at home, our house is not that big, there's no room at all. In a while, when Lanlan has her baby, and we hire a nanny and a maid, there will be even more people. You insist on staying at home, but we can't make space for you!"

What a joke, how can there be no space? This is the three-story villa my father left me before he died. Not to mention this many people, even if you double it, the villa can still accommodate them.

"Jiang, are you treating me like I'm blind? This house is so big, you can hire a nanny and a maid, but somehow there's no space for me, your brother?"

Seeing Lin Jiang being so unkind, I completely dropped my face.

Lin Jiang was furious, looked to his side, and said to Ye Lan's biological father, Ye Feng, with a face full of dissatisfaction: "Dad, do you hear what he's saying? He always stays at home. Has he ever considered me and Lanlan? Is the hard-earned money you and mom made supposed to be wasted on a freeloader like him?"

"What about me and Lanlan? What are we supposed to do in the future?"

Ye Feng frowned, and said with a stern face, "Alright, you should say less too. I'm Lanlan's biological father, and I can't let you and Lanlan be wronged. Besides, Lanlan is pregnant now, and we can't upset her, don't affect her mood!"

"But he, Li Sheng, is an outsider! What right does he have to stay in our house?!"

Lin Jiang raised his voice, but after speaking, he glanced at my mom's expression, seemingly feeling that it was inappropriate, and he said loudly to me: "Brother, don't get me wrong, I have no other intentions, just don't want Lanlan to feel uncomfortable living in this house. You know, she's a pregnant woman, she can't be agitated!"

"Brother, your father died early, and you've always been spending our grandfather's money. This money should rightfully go to my son. You shamelessly spent it for so long and now quit your job, haven't paid us back a single cent. Frankly, you're a grown man, you should be more sensible, don't learn from those guys online who live off women, have some responsibility!"

I sneered, looking at my mom and Ye Feng.

"Mom, I finally understand, I'm the outsider in your eyes. My return this time, did it disrupt your family's life?"

My mom's face changed, a hint of apology in her eyes, she glared at Lin Jiang and sternly said, "Shut up! You married our Lanlan, so you have to follow our family's rules, don't just say whatever you want carelessly!"

"Mom!" Ye Lan, with her big belly, quickly hugged Lin Jiang's arm.

"Don't blame Jiang, he's also thinking about me and the baby. Besides, what Jiang said isn't wrong. Brother has no money right now, hasn't saved a penny all these years, and now he doesn't want to go out and find a job. He can't just keep staying at home without leaving!"

"Plus, the money brother spent all these years was indeed from grandfather. If we really calculate, he still owes me and Jiang money! How can he do nothing, and just lie at home freeloading?"

"What are Jiang and I supposed to do in the future?!"

After speaking, she looked at me with wronged eyes, as if I were some heinous villain.

"You shut up too! Alright, alright, I don't want to say anything more to you two. Eat and then go to your room, go and take care of the baby!"

My mom frowned, impatiently waving her hand.

If it weren't for the fact that Ye Lan was pregnant, she probably would have already kicked them out.
