The Invisible Rich Man's
Chapter 561
"Lolita?" gerald said with a smile.
He treated the girl like a little sister. Lolita grew up with Gerald and Xeno. He was also somewhat related to the Xeno family.
Unlike Gerald and Xeno, Lolita has a pretty good family background. His family owned a shop in the city, which specialized in making cakes and snacks. Therefore, he usually stayed in the city, rarely coming home.
Because Gerald and Xeno were still poor who could not even afford good clothes back then, Lolita rarely played with them both.
He also did not talk much to them, even though they were all classmates from the same elementary school. In short, there wasn't much interaction between the two boys and him at all. One could say that it was similar to Gerald's relationship with Queeny.
Unlike Queeny, however, they begin to interact and form friendships at the end of junior high school.
In first and second grade, Lolita happens to continue to share the same class as Gerald and Xeno. However, the two sides rarely interact.
However, things changed when they sat in the third grade.
Lolita had a fight with another girl back then, and it was a big fight.
After school that day, Lolita's way home was blocked by some rascals from the same class. The girl had ordered them to give Lolita some trouble to teach her a lesson.
However, Gerald and Xeno had seen what they were doing, and they took Lolita away from them.
Although Gerald was still a nobody back then, Xeno was famous for his fights at school.
When the bunch of rascals saw him, they did not dare to do anything to the three. In short, they had saved Lolita from the troubled world that day.
From that day on, Lolita treated Gerald and Xeno well, and they became such friends.
He would always secretly buy cigarettes for Xeno. As for Gerald, he'll bring him cookies and pastries.
When they reach high school age, Lolita discovers that she has been accepted into Third High School. It was considered the worst high school in the county.
"When did you come back? Why don't you send me a text message or something?” lolita.
“I've just been back for a few days! I have wandered around the city and the county. To be honest, I was just about to ask for your phone number from Xeno!” gerald replied with a smile.
He didn't lie about that either. After all, he planned to invite her to celebrate his birthday as well.
“Huh! At least you haven't forgotten me! By the way, are you not aware of the messages in our middle school class group chat? ... Actually, wait. I don't think you're in it. But anyway, it's Chase's birthday! He said he wants all our old classmates to get together because we haven't seen each other in a long time.”
“Because he was going to have a birthday celebration, he decided to make it a class meeting as well to kill two birds with one stone! Even Junior High School teachers and our English teachers will be present today. Will you join us?” ask Lolita.
"Trs. Weiss will be there too? Hasn't he retired this year?” ask Gerald while trying to remember who Chase is.
Although he has trouble remembering who his classmates are, Gerald can easily remember his class teacher, Mr. Carson Weiss's. In fact, his teacher's memory was very clear.
Mr. Weiss was an excellent teacher who taught him the Weston dialect.
Back then, Gerald had a very difficult time at home and he could not even afford to pay for his own textbooks. Mr. Weiss was always there to help him, even to the point of paying for Gerald's textbooks with his own money.
Gerald could still remember those scenes clearly in his mind.
In his first two years at university, Gerald would live a frugal lifestyle just so he could save money. When he returned to his hometown for the New Year, no matter how expensive it was, he would always bring some presents every time he visited Mr. Weiss. However, in the past two years, Gerald has found it difficult to pay his own tuition fees. He was in such a poor state back then that he could not even visit Mr. Weiss at all.
"I heard that Mr. Weiss fell seriously ill last year ... Is she okay now?" ask Gerald.
“She has recovered from it a long time ago. How else could he agree to attend Chase's birthday celebration today?”
“Actually, stop asking so many questions! You will be able to ask him personally when you meet him later! He's always been thinking so much about you and Xeno, even since then! He will be very happy to see you today. Although we have arranged to meet at eight, you can bet that Mr. Weiss will definitely come earlier than that just so he can chat more with us!”
"Good to hear! However, I don't think I will be able to participate in that meeting, ” Gerald said rather shyly.
