The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 190
“I know him! He's been my classmate since High School. What's up, Gerald? We haven't met for about three years now. Have you forgotten me?”
Lilian said in surprise. But other than surprise, he seemed to be filled with some sort of sarcasm at the time, mocking Gerald.
It was the kind of feeling one had when he finally realized that the person he thought had long disappeared appeared in front of him again. After all these years, the b*stard that he thought was long dead appeared out of nowhere. He was filled with such surprises.
In fact, seeing Lilian like that, Gerald was also stunned. He's tongue-tied…
Of course, he knew who Lilian was. They have been in the same class since the second year. When they were about to go into different courses in Junior High, they were placed in the same class again.
At the time, Lilian appeared to be a member of the art committee. She is good at singing and dancing.
However, there was nothing special in their relationship back then.
Girls like Lilian would definitely love a boy whose family is rich and respectable in high school. Gerald doesn't have that quality.
Furthermore, their school was located in the city, and Lilian was a resident there. So his tastes and family background don't allow him to befriend the likes of Gerald.
During their three years in high school, the things they said to each other were less than what they said to each other when they met by chance at school.
So they must have been out of touch with each other after they graduated from high school.
Although Gerald noticed Lilian's disdainful gaze just now, he still appreciated the old things.
“Yes, we haven't seen each other for three years now. I can barely recognize you. You're much prettier now!”
Gerald smiled a little.
"Hi! It's been a long time. You can even learn how to praise others. But why do I feel awkward hearing it, listening to your compliments?” Lilian crossed her arms around her chest and smiled coldly.
“Lilian, let's introduce him to us because he is your old classmate.”.
The woman noticed that Gerald looked pleasing to the eye, so she smiled and said directly.
"What the fuck! Fiona, can you stop licking every guy you meet all the time? Do you know what kind of person Gerald was during my high school? ”
'Oh my God!' Lilian bound tongue.
His best friend always behaves like that. He is obsessed with finding a girlfriend whenever he meets a slightly handsome man.
But she thought that Fiona really needed to open her eyes.
Lilian inevitably admitted that Gerald was indeed quite handsome, but he just…
"What's wrong?"
“Gerald was a famous poor man in high school. Do you know what he usually eats at lunchtime? He only ate a loaf of bread with a little pickled vegetables. In addition, his uniform was so shabby that the pants around his knees were torn all over. He even stuck a patch on them. But he won't even buy a new uniform!”
"What's? How could there be such a poor person?”
Beautiful woman——Fiona stuck out her tongue, claiming that she was indeed frightened and shocked.
“I don't believe you! Lilian, are you exaggerating the facts?”
The man smiled bitterly. “If I am that bad, I think it is better I kill myself!”
Lilian became anxious.
He just wanted to prove to others that he was right. As for how he cursed Gerald and pissed him off, Lilian did not even think about it. To him, Gerald was just a topic of gossip.
Gerald sneered. "Yes that's right!"
Gerald smiled faintly, realizing that Lilian's temperament and characteristics had not changed at all.
Even though he made her upset, he did not seem angry at all.
After all, what Lilian said just now was true. He did not care even if they looked down on him because it was meaningless if he revealed his true identity and flaunted his wealth in front of them.
“By the way, Lilian, why did you come to this school? From what I see, are you the teacher here? Did you find your job so quickly?"
Gerald asked him. When he left the conference hall, he discovered that all the teachers there were wearing the uniform.
“Yes, we completed our internship quickly. In addition, I have a teacher qualification certificate. Of course, I finished everything and finished it. From now on, I will live life in this big city—— Mayberry. What about you? I've heard that you're studying at Mayberry University. Did you find a job?”
After all, Lilian had grown up enough now after so many years. Even though he looked down on Gerald, he still asked politely.
"I? Haven't. I still wonder what I should do from now on! ”
Lilian smiled.
“To be frank, Gerald, I think you'll be much better after you go to college. Strangely enough.If you can't do it, just go back to your hometown. See if you can find a job in the city. If not, you can always go back to your village and buy land. You can start with farming or something else. That's how students today start their business!”
Lilian crossed her arms around her chest. From the beginning, she felt that Gerald was useless. After having a casual conversation with him, his opinion of him deteriorated.
He would go for an apprentice, but he still did not know what things he wanted to do in the future.
Seeing how Lilian advised him, he simply smiled bitterly and nodded repeatedly.
Beside them, the man also nodded. He then said, “What you said is true. Nowadays, it is difficult for students to find a job. Some small companies do not have a promising future. Big companies only want talented people. Just look at Mayberry University, only the most outstanding ones can get a good job. What about the others? They depend on some connection or their family to have a promising future.”
Another girl next to them added, “That's right. The ones who suffer the most are the ones like Gerald. He doesn't even have the ability and eloquence. In addition, he is quite poor both economically and in the cultural aspect as well.”
They were immersed in a heated discussion, and Gerald stood there doing nothing.
Finally, Gerald managed to say something after they were done. “Are the four of you newly recruited teachers here? It's not bad indeed. The salary given is also quite good because investors have provided very large funds. The living arrangements they prepared were also quite good! ”
Gerald just wanted to chat with him as an old school friend.
"What the fuck? Gerald, don't pretend that you know a lot here. You said those things just because you wanted to show off in front of us. I am well aware of that. What do you have to be so arrogant about? I know about your situation clearly. Do you want me to spill it all? ”
Lilian said somewhat helplessly.
Gerald just touched his nose a little and smiled bitterly.
At that moment, Lilian looked up, as if she was thinking of something.
“By the way, let me tell you something since we met each other here today..”.
