My Unborn Son, Rags to Riches

“Wait a minute.” I suddenly realized. “If your dad is super rich, why don’t I go and tell him I’m pregnant with his baby? Wouldn’t I be reaping benefits?”

My son laughed at my stupidity. [If my dad is super rich, do you think he lacks women?]

[Stop watching those unrealistic soap operas about domineering CEOs falling in love with you!]

[If you go over right now and tell him you’re pregnant, how do you prove that I’m his? One simple trick and I’m done for!]

[He may see you as a gold digger and quietly get rid of you. All we need to do is to skim some profits and we’ll be worry-free. Mom, you must learn to be content. High society is not as simple as you think.]

I nodded vigorously.

Maybe my son had prior experience so he came to warn me.

Even if I really got into high society, it's better to be alive than to have money but no life to enjoy it.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” I happily rubbed my hands.

It’s time to achieve financial freedom and to reach the pinnacle of life by collecting trash.

My son told me a specific location in order to prove his claim of authenticity.

I rode a bicycle for an hour and finally I reached the trash can in front of a mansion.

When I lifted the trash can lid, my eyes lit up.

“No wonder they’re rich. Even the trash can smell nice.”

There wasn't much dirty trash inside, mostly various gift boxes.

I pulled out a sack from my pocket.

I filled up two sacks.

I tied them to my bike with rope and got out of the mansion’s vicinity. Then I hailed a cab to haul them home.

Once I was home, I couldn’t wait to unwrap the gift boxes.

Hermes ties, Parisian suits, Chanel watches, Dior…

After sorting them out, I realized they were all men’s items.

“Psss…son, your dad’s lover…is a man?”

My son laughed out loud.

[Mom, don’t misunderstand. My dad’s dream lover is definitely a woman.]

[All these gifts belong to those wealthy businessmen who wanted to get to know my dad. But he threw them all away.]

[He is a super rich man. Anything that can be bought with money, he has no interest. Many women have tried to pursue him. He will throw away even the gifts he got from his wife after some time of keeping them.]

[Wait for some time. You can then go and pick up the trash.]

After hearing this, I couldn’t stop myself from laughing.

“My dear son, you truly are a blessing to me.”

After tidying up, I opened a secondhand marketplace app and sold everything at half price.

Brand new!

The items were so cheap, and most were almost new.

Items were sold out in less than twenty minutes.

I only had three hundred in my bank account before.

Now I had ten million!

I clicked my tongue and shook my head. "These expensive items are really valuable. Even if they’re secondhand, they're still highly sought after.

"But the quality is indeed excellent."

My son, comfortably nestled in my belly, replied, [That's right, that's my dad. The cheapest gift he received is at least in the millions.]

[If he receives something too cheap and word gets out, it will be incredibly embarrassing. These people care a lot about their reputation.]
