Underestimated Son In Law

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 Class Reunion

Right, right, a poor fat guy like him should just castrate himself in some corner and not embarrass himself in public!"

"Hey, do you think he would pick up the money after being humiliated like that?"

"Pick up? That's funny. That would be the same as throwing away his pride." A middle-aged man sneered. He was confident that Fatty wouldn't have the guts to pick up the money, not to mention that everyone's eyes were on him.

At this point, the whole crowd of people was curious if he would start picking the money up.

Just then, lightning appeared in the sky, shortly after raindrops poured down. As the crowd scattered to find shelter.

On the other hand, fatty Sett just gazed upward, as the raindrops rolled down his cheeks. No one knew if it was just the rain or his silent cry.

Under the dumbfounded gazes of the onlookers, Sett bent his body with no sign of humiliation on his face as he picked up the scattered bills on the ground, one by one, and put them under his shirt.

"....maybe I should just disappear. That wouldn't be so bad, but I still have my sister to take care of." He murmured to himself, as numerous questions assaulted his heart that he wanted to ask the heavens.

However, it was not a good time as he was physically and mentally tired. Finding a waiting shade, he started contemplating how he was going to deal with his current situation.

"Maybe my grandfather will let me borrow a hundred thousand dollars." Sett murmured sarcastically.

He would rather believe a pig transformed into a prince, rather than believe his snobbish grandfather would lend him a helping hand with his parents' operation.

Suddenly, his old Nokia keypad rang. He was surprised to find that it was his classmate from senior high, "Antonio Paul." Although their relationship isn't good, he still hurriedly received the call.

"Buddy, our school beauties are inviting classmates from high school for a reunion. Do you remember Lucy? Our senior high's most beautiful girl...Yes, that's the one you have a crush on? She took pity on you. She wants you to come. Here's the address.... Make sure to come and don't be late. Everyone is already waiting. If you don't come, I'll beat your sorry as*. You hear me, buddy?" His threatening voice on the phone made Sett silent. He remembered how Martin used to beat him up while calling him, fatso.

"Y-Yes, I'll go there..." Sett stuttered and quickly turned off the phone, frustrated. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

He wouldn't dare go to the class reunion since his high school bullies would also be there.

He thought for a moment, then changed his mind. Sett gritted his teeth and decided to go to the bar where his classmates were gathering for the reunion.

He could use this opportunity to try to borrow or loan some money from his tycoon classmates, and Lucy was also a rich young woman. If he remembered correctly, her father was the CEO of a company.

Shortly after, at night, at 7 o'clock, with heavy panting, he arrived at the bar with heavy music bombarding Sett's ears. His eyes were instantly drawn by the party goers' revealing outfits and the men who wanted to have entertainment and a memorable pleasure, entering and exiting at the bar entrance.

Normally, Sett would not want to enter a place like this, but due to his desperation, he had no choice.

"Stop!"

A bulky black bouncer with a terrifying face blocked Sett's path while eying him down from head to toe. He smirked as he realized Sett was only wearing a worn-out cloth.

"Do you have a ticket?" The bouncer's thick voice, paired with his frightening appearance, made him more intimidating.

Sett then hurriedly shook his head, as he had no idea that he would need a ticket to enter.

The bouncer raised his eyebrows in irritation as his precious time was being wasted on a fat guy who didn't have a penny for the bar's entrance ticket.

"Scram! Poor bastards aren't allowed here." The bouncer was about to grab Sett's collar as Sett nervously explained himself. Suddenly, the bouncer paused as they heard an angry engine.

They turned around and saw an expensive, super-big bike. As the man and woman took off their helmets, Sett frowned as he found those two somewhat familiar.

"Oh, it's Fatso Sett! Tsk, tsk, who would have thought I would meet you here?" The man in the deluxe suite pretended to be surprised, then grinned widely, while the woman with short hair, a silver ring nose, and dark eye makeup giggled.

It took a while before Sett finally recognized who the man was.

'Antonio Paul....' Sett let out a breath.

The guy was his typical school bully that everyone wouldn't want to get acquainted with, and his favorite target was him.

"Babe, do you remember what I said in my junior high?"

"You mean it's him?" The girl curiously looks at Sett.

"Yes, it's him! I used to beat him up after school, and you know what, this guy is spineless. He didn't even do anything when his girlfriend was being harassed by our seniors. This guy is a real coward!" Antonio laughed coldly.

"....Oh, I almost forgot. There's news that he's picking up garbage with his parents to earn a living after his family was kicked out of the Crossword family, and his sponsorship for a college is also canceled. I don't know if it's true, but looking at him now..."

He stopped his gaze at Sett's worn-out clothes. "There's no mistake about it; his future is compromised... No matter what he does, he will always be looked down upon. What a hopeless guy." Antonio smirked while gazing at Sett's pale face as his hands trembled.

What a coward!

"Also, Fatso Sett, are you still wearing the same T-shirt from senior high? Aren't you embarrassed? Grow up, numbskull! ...In any case, it suits your status as a garbage collector. Lucy must have taken pity on you for getting invited to a class reunion. Am I right?" Antonio's mocking voice made it clear he wanted to disparage him further.

"Your lucky Lucy wanted me to bring this to you." Antonio shoves the ticket on Sett's forehead. This caused Sett to lose balance as his rear hit the pavement.

"You!" Sett gritted his teeth in anger. He wanted to badly bash Antonio's face.

"What? You want to fight Fatso?" Antonio mocked him as he laughed while kissing his girlfriend on the cheek.
