The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 172
He arrived at Layla's dormitory door.
"Gerald?"
Layla, who was crying until her eyes were red and swollen, opened the door. He was obviously very surprised when he saw Gerald.
"Laila, are you okay? I came to see you!”
Gerald quickly replied.
"I'm doing fine. I don't want to trouble you. After all, I feel that my existence in this world is excessive and I will only drag a lot of people with me if I continue to live in this world!”
Layla sat on the edge of her bed while covering her eyes and started crying again.
“Omong blank what are you talking about, Layla? In fact, I used to be just like you. Since I was young, my father told me that my family was very poor and we owed people a lot of money. My sister didn't even finish high school and she went to work at a young age because of me. My brother is actually very smart and he studied really well but he gave up on his high school exams because of me!”
Gerald wants to persuade Layla. Perhaps because they were both very poor, Gerald couldn't help but think of himself in the past.
It proved very effective. Layla stopped crying as she looked at Gerald.
Gerald continued to speak:
“Do you know how much psychological stress I was under at the time? Do you know how much responsibility I carried on my shoulders back then because my family had put all their hopes on me? That is the reason why I try so hard to study desperately. I really want to stand out so I am not looked down upon.”
“But what can I do? I am often bullied and humiliated. I feel inferior when comparing myself to others. Because of my own inferiority, I don't even dare to talk to girls when I see them because I'm afraid they'll look down on me!”
“In fact, they really look down on me and they often talk and gossip about me. However, I often tell myself that I must continue to live a good life because all these insults will eventually pass. In addition, I also began to understand one truth!”
Gerald was filled with emotion as he spoke.
Layla hurriedly asked, "What truth is that?"
“Someone should think and do things according to the stage where they are. This is the only way not to have too much pain and suffering. You are still learning and gaining more knowledge right now, but you are constantly thinking about how you will earn money and make more money. Is that realistic?”
“Yes, I really want to make a lot of money but I can't do it. However, it is natural for you to say all this now. After all, you won the lottery and you have better luck compared to everyone else!”
Layla replied sadly.
“I am indeed luckier than the others. However, you must believe that such a thing will happen to you someday too! In short, everything will pass sooner or later. You do not need to feel stressed and depressed all the time because of this. Instead, what you should be thinking now is the solution to this problem!”
gerald's Suggestion.
Layla lowered her head before saying, “OK, okay. I understand now. Thank you, Gerald. Let me think about it!"
Gerald had never persuaded anyone before, nor did he know how to persuade anyone.
At this moment, there was a loud slamming sound outside the dormitory door.
It felt as if someone was about to break down the door from the outside.
After which, Layla walked over and immediately opened the door.
At this moment, a fat middle-aged woman rushed into the room. He had a very wide face and his eyebrows were tattooed and it seemed like he had two caterpillars crawling on his face.
“I wonder why you didn't open the door! You little b tch! It's only because you have a man in your room! Your father even said that you studied hard in school! Pfft! You little b tch! ”
"Mama! Don't say that! Gerald is my classmate and he came here to see me!”
Layla yells.
“Don't call me mom! I'm not your mother! You! What are you looking at? Are you trying to force yourself on my daughter? Do you believe that I will call the police now?”
The middle-aged woman immediately pulled out her phone.
Layla started to panic and she immediately said, “Gerald, you have to go first. Thanks for everything today!”
"okay!"
Gerald really wanted to scold this crazy woman, but he knew that he should not say anything because whatever it was, she was still Layla's mother.
"How can a mother act like this?"
Gerald only muttered a sentence before he left.
She really couldn't help but wonder if Layla's mother was really her biological mother because she scolded Layla and called her****little* as soon as she saw her.
After meeting and being scolded by crazy women, one by one today, Gerald's mood was bad.
He wanted to go and take a walk in the park to relax a little.
At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. It was a phone call from her sister, Jessica.
Gerald immediately answered the phone and he would ask his sister about Mayberry Commercial Street.
Unexpectedly, her sister's nervous voice was heard on the other end of the phone as soon as the call was connected:
"Brothers! Something bad has happened. Your brother got into big trouble!”
