Apparently, I am the child of wealthy parents

Episode 1

"Erwin, I think we're not right for each other, so let's just break up!"

In a cafe, a woman with long, beautiful hair finally shared her thoughts with the young man seated before her after deliberating for a long time.

"Why aren't we right for each other? Are you saying our relationship of four years ends just like that? At least give me a reason!" Erwin was under tremendous stress, having just lost his job, and now his love life was in turmoil; he wondered if life still held a path for him.

"You can't afford what I want, and I can't wait any longer, that should be reason enough!" Leticia stated curtly as she explained the reason for their breakup.

Erwin Smith still wanted to hold onto the woman, but Leticia Lawrence had already stood up and walked straight out of the cafe without looking back.

Erwin hastily rose to follow her, but through the cafe's clear glass windows, he saw Leticia getting into a fancy BMW with an attractive young man, even initiating a kiss with him, leaving Erwin to witness the scene with a mix of anger and helplessness.

"Heh." Erwin smiled wryly, and sadly sipped the coffee in front of him.

He couldn't blame the materialistic woman, only himself for not being able to make enough money. With plenty of money, even celebrities would flock to someone's side.

At that moment, his phone rang and answering it only caused more irritation as he was greeted by a loud and familiar voice from the other end,

"Erwin Smith, you haven't paid your rent in 2 months, when are you going to pay up? If you still don't pay, I'm going to throw all your stuff out."

Hearing this, Erwin was furious; in the past, he might have caved, but now, without a girlfriend or a job, what was there left to fear?

"I've been tolerating this for too long, just throw them out if you want to.” After saying this, Erwin angrily hung up the phone.

Jobless, heartbroken, and evicted by his landlord, Erwin felt like a legendary loser as thoughts of failure flooded his mind.

The sky gradually darkened. Walking along the bustling street, watching the passersby hustling, Erwin felt an indescribable pressure; after graduating from college, he had toiled in this big city for three years. Yet in the end, he'd accomplished nothing, and now he couldn't even pay his rent. Could it get any worse?

Erwin wandered to a bridge while holding a can of beer in his hand, leaning on the railing as he drank. This was his fifth can, and slight drunkenness was setting in.

Looking down at the river below, he truly wanted to jump and forget everything, but thinking of his parents at home, he dismissed the thought.

"It's been 3 years since I last saw mom and dad; I don't know how they're doing now; I'm really an unfilial son." Since graduation, Erwin had worked hard in this city with the foolish dream of earning enough to buy a place and marry his girlfriend, but now the memory of that goal seemed ludicrous.

Erwin pulled out his phone intending to call his parents in the countryside. However, as he prepared to dial, he saw he already had a missed call, likely from his mother. Erwin quickly shoved aside his sorrow, adjusted his mentality, and then picked up, hearing again the familiar and warm voice on the other end.

"Son, how are you getting on in the big city? Are you facing any troubles?"

"Life's fairly smooth here, everything's going well; my boss said he would promote me to director next month, and my salary will double," lied Erwin casually.

"You really don't have to work so hard; actually, we've hidden a truth from you for a long time, and now it seems to be the right time to tell you.” His mother's voice rang out over the phone.

"What is it? Just tell me, I'm listening," Erwin suddenly became tense, worried that something bad had happened back home.

"Actually, our family is very wealthy; you are in fact the young master, and there's no need for you to work so hard to make money out there!” His mother's words carried a deep concern.

"Stop joking, Mom. I'm going to hang up now; I have to work overtime today!" Erwin laughed, not taking his mother's words seriously. His parents were farmers; even a few tens of thousands would be a lot to them.

"No, Son, don't hang up, how can you believe what your mother is saying?" His mother's hurried voice came through the phone.

"It's easy to make me believe; just deposit 2 billion in my bank account, and I will believe you. Anyway, I have to go back to work, you should go to rest earlier," said Erwin before hanging up. The cold wind made his heart grow even colder.

He knew his parents could never have that much money; even if they sold everything they owned, it wouldn't add up to 2 billion, so Erwin did not take his mother's words seriously at all.

However, not long after, he received a text message on his phone. Unconsciously, Erwin opened the notification, and to his astonishment, his bank balance had indeed been credited with 2 billion, causing him to stand frozen on the spot.
