On the Family Reunion Show, I ripped up the DNA test with my billionaire parents right on stage. Eighteen years after I went missing, my billionaire parents finally went on the Family Reunion Show to find me. I was filthy, my clothes ragged, hadn’t showered in ten days. When they saw me, they burst into uncontrolled sobs, their voices breaking: “Lily!We are so sorry for what happened to you!” I looked down, catching the scent of Mom’s Hermès perfume and seeing Dad’s Rolex watch glinting. Looking up again, my older sister, a top concert pianist, and my older brother, an astronaut, were also weeping uncontrollably. The entire audience was deeply moved, a collective gasp echoing through the studio. Yet, I simply and calmly pulled the DNA test results from my parents’ hands. RIIIIP! I tore it in half, my face utterly blank. “You’ve got the wrong person.” My parents froze. “Y-you…what did you say?” I took a step back, my voice cold. “I’m not your daughter.” Hearing this, they frantically bent down to pick up the shredded DNA test from the floor. “99.999%… The results are 99.999%!” “How could you not be our daughter?!” Mom’s swollen eyes widened, her limited-edition crocodile-skin purse clattering to the ground. I shrugged, stating casually, “The sample you sent for the DNA test was just hair I picked out of a trash can.” “And honestly, if you hadn’t offered a thousand bucks for a strand of hair, I wouldn’t even be here.” The tears on Mom’s face seemed to freeze. Next to her, a trembling voice spoke: “Lily, are you… are you blaming us?” “Are you mad at us for losing you, and that’s why you don’t want to recognize us, right?” Dad’s voice was hoarse, his eyes bloodshot. I frowned, annoyed. “I already told you, you have the wrong person. I’m not…” “No! You are absolutely our daughter!” Dad suddenly became agitated, staring intensely at me. “You’re just… you’re the spitting image of your mother…” At that moment, all the cameras swiveled to point at my face. I instinctively raised my hand to cover it, but Mom grabbed my wrist. She brushed aside my ten-day-old bangs, pulled a Chanel silk scarf from her pocket, and gently wiped away the grime from my face. By the time I realized what was happening, my face was exposed to millions of viewers. Everyone gasped, even the host couldn’t help but exclaim: “The daughter and the mother… they truly look identical.” Mom’s hand trembled more and more, her sobs growing louder: “Lily… you are my Lily!!” Just as she lunged forward to embrace me, I took another step back, declaring firmly: “I told you, I’m not your daughter, and certainly not ‘Lily.’” “Since I got my thousand bucks, I should be going.” After my third denial, the entire studio erupted in gasps and angry whispers: “Whoa! What’s wrong with this girl?!” “The DNA results are out, the mother and daughter look identical, how can she still be so stubborn?!” “I’m seriously done… her biological parents are the world’s richest, I can’t even dream of this, and she’s rejecting them!” On stage, the two multi-billionaires quietly wept. “Lily… I’m so sorry…” “It’s my fault,I lost you back then, and made you suffer for so many years!” I rolled my eyes so hard they almost popped out, a sneer twisting my lips. “Two psychos.” Just as I turned to leave, I lifted my foot and saw a hole in my grimy, caked-on shoes, my black-stained big toe peeking out, and flakes of dead skin were everywhere on the stage. Mom followed my gaze and nearly fainted. Dad’s eyes turned red again, and he looked away. “Lily please, let us make it up to you, okay?” Mom sobbed, pulling a black card from her purse. “Just call us Mom and Dad, and you can spend the two hundred billion dollars on this card however you want.” “Whether it’s a skyscraper in New York or a resort villa on a private island, you can live wherever you wish.” “Please?”
“Holy moly! That’s insane wealth!” “Those damn kidnappers! These are my real parents!” “Please switch me back to the rural channel…” No sooner had they spoken than not only the entire audience erupted, but the show’s live chat exploded with 999+ messages. [OMG, the dirty beggar turned into a real rich missy.] [Hey, why isn’t she moving? This girl must be going crazy with happiness!] [Then she should just accept! It’s making me so anxious!] [If I were her, I’d be absolutely losing it, after all, these are the world’s richest people! The richest!] … I slowly scanned the stage. Hundreds of cameras were aimed at me. The live audience held their breath, leaning forward in anticipation. I met my parents’ hopeful gazes and gently pushed away the black card they offered. “I’m saying this one last time…” “I! Am! Not! Your! Daughter!” I declared definitively, then immediately turned away. The two-hundred-billion-dollar black card clattered to the floor. My parents were stunned. The audience instantly erupted in angry shouts: “Oh my god!” “Her brain must be squashed! Does she even know what she’s doing?!” “Am I crazy or is she crazy?! Two hundred billion! My ancestors eight generations back didn’t have this much money!” I didn’t hesitate, lifting my foot to leave. “Five hundred billion! Five hundred billion!” Mom’s urgent, choked voice came from behind me. “Lily, please, let me use five hundred billion to make it up to you.” “I am begging you.” I paused. “Five hundred billion?” Seeing me stop, Mom’s eyes instantly lit up. “Yes, yes, yes!” “Just call me Mom… no, just talk to me, and I’ll immediately send someone to get the money!” Hearing that, I grinned. “Fine.” “Give me one hundred million dollars right now, or I’m leaving.” Mom froze. I sneered, asking, “What, regretting it already?” She quickly shook her head, as if terrified I’d change my mind, and stumbled off. “I’ll go make the call right now…” At that moment, the entire audience buzzed with whispers: “Tsk, I thought this girl was really stupid, but turns out she’s pretty clever.” “Heh, calculating even her own biological parents. Just looking at her, you can tell she’s no good.” “Exactly! She’s really taking advantage. How does she deserve to get wealth so easily that others couldn’t earn in several lifetimes?!” As the audience’s angry murmurs grew louder, the host calmly announced: “Please, everyone, settle down.” Simultaneously, the large screen on the stage slowly lit up. “Perhaps after watching this video, everyone can understand Ms. Vance’s actions a little better.” I remained silent, looking up. The videographer in the clip seemed to be filming a cave, and outside the cave entrance, mountains of scrap and trash were piled up. Wait, isn’t this… “What is this? A junkyard?” “No, a junkyard isn’t this dirty and messy. It looks more like a landfill.” “Oh my god, someone’s coming out… people actually live here?!” “My god, isn’t that Lily Vance?!” The screen’s image shifted, and all the audience members collectively turned to watch. And there I was in the video, tiptoeing, rummaging through a trash can. Losing my balance, the trash can toppled over with a heavy thud, scattering leftover food mixed with greasy slop all over the ground. I squatted down and began to eat it with my hands. Everyone gasped, their brows furrowing in disgust and revulsion. Just then, Mom, panting and out of breath from rushing back with the money, saw this exact scene.
