Jens was someone who barely spoke in front of strangers. As for Robbie, he chatted with the old man in a pleasant manner," I'm here to pick up my sister. Gramps. Her name’s Angel, and she's in the senior class."
The old man was long-winded. He looked at Jens and Robbie. He was filled with compliments. "Oh? You boys don't seem very young either. Have you gone to college? What were your parents thinking? Why’d they give birth to another sister for you? Other families prefer sons over daughters, and they’d fight for a son when they have none. Your parents must be quite old now, but they still gave birth to another daughter? When they get older in the future, the responsibility of raising your sister will fall on your shoulders. By then, you'll have such tough times.”
Robbie was speechless.
The old man was being too rude.
Jens rolled his eyes at him and snorted. " You shouldn't worry too much, old man. Stop prying into other people's business to refrain yourself from overworking.”
The old man was at a loss for words from Jens’ resentful remarks. Ultimately, he sighed and said, "Child, I was just helping you seek some justice."
The look on Jens’ face was extremely gloomy.
Robbie hurriedly said, "Grandpa, only the parents of poor families would pass on the responsibility of raising younger siblings to the older siblings. Our dad’s Jay Ares, the richest man in Imperial Capital. You can look into him if you want. He's in his 40s and still in his prime. He can still raise an entire football team if he wants to, not to mention one daughter. My father loves all of his children very much, so we don't need anyone's concern."
The old man was dumbfounded when he heard that they were the young masters of the richest man in Imperial Capital.
Only then did he realize how ridiculous his worries were.
Just after the chattering grandpa was suppressed, the grandma next to the old man interjected again.
"Are you Angel’s big brothers?" The grandmother's eyes flickered with a questioning look. "But I often see a beautiful young boy coming to pick Angel home. He also claims to be her brother. Are there other brothers in your family?” Such an important piece of news made Jens and Robbie look at each other in shock. The vigilance of the two boys suddenly rose.
"Do you know our Angel, Grandma?"
