I Don't Want My Pretend-Poor Parents Anymore

share time: 2025-10-08 06:02:38

Su Xiao grew up crammed in a 10-square-meter rental with her parents who sold breakfast, wearing faded school uniforms and only daring to drink 30% sugar milk tea. On her 18th birthday, she catches her parents coming out of a downtown villa—turns out they’re billionaires running a catering group, pretending to be poor for a decade to “live an ordinary life with her”. She breaks down yelling “I don’t want my pretend-poor parents anymore” and moves to the dorm, cutting ties. Until she finds her mother’s diary: years ago, her parents missed her life-threatening high fever due to work, so they swore to use “poor days” to make up for lost time. When her parents stand downstairs with her favorite sugar-coated dough果子, Su Xiao’s hand trembles holding the diary—what she thought was deception is actually ten years of guilt and love hidden by her parents.
