CHAPTER 171: CHAPTER 59 HIGH SOCIETY_3
"For the sake of..." The young man seemed to find his purpose too hard to articulate and dared not speak his mind, so Du Xixi and the others simply passed him by and continued walking towards Mo Ying’s new house.
"For money!" The young man could no longer care about anything else. He watched the backs of Du Xixi and the others for a while, then closed his eyes and loudly voiced his purpose.
Mo Ying showed an expression of "as expected" and turned her head coldly to look at the young man. Du Xixi was a bit stunned, slowly turned around, and seeing the young man’s slightly reddened eyes and ashamed face, said softly, "It’s not true that just by entering the upper class circle, you gain money."
At least there are many who aren’t in the upper class circle and still have money.
"You’ve already entered this villa area, how could you still not have money?" Miao Miao spoke up at this moment. Her voice was tender and weak, without any force, but her words made the young man’s whole body tremble.
Yes, how could he not have money after entering this villa area? The young man laughed at himself after hearing this. It didn’t matter whether the three in front of him believed it or not, anyway, he started to speak for himself: "I bought three lottery tickets, and me, who’s been unlucky for more than a hundred years, actually hit the jackpot on all of them, amounting to fifty million in prize money. After taxes, I used it all to buy a small villa here."
"I’m an orphan, my parents died when I was three, and I’ve been begging ever since, until a kind-hearted person funded me when I was eight, so I could live like a human being. But would you believe it? That so-called kind-hearted person funded me entirely to make me his son-in-law and ’marry’ his youngest daughter, bedridden for over eighty years, who needs help with everything!"
By this point, the young man found it hard to speak and covered his eyes, but since he’d started, he didn’t hide anything further: "I left all my savings from working there. I could dedicate my life to him in gratitude for his kindness, be like a servant robot, but I won’t sell my dignity for tens of thousands of funds!"
"I read on the star network that His Majesty once appeared here, so I wanted to linger outside the villa area to see if I could encounter him." The young man gave a bitter smile, with tears starting to wet under his covered eyes, "But I was chased away by the security. Perhaps I looked too much like a street ruffian. After being chased away, I just went to buy a lottery ticket and won the first prize. The first thing I did was buy a villa here, not expecting to spend all the money."
"I just wanted to linger for His Majesty, but His Majesty had already returned. The few neighbors next door told me that as long as I find someone to help me enter the upper class circle, I would have money, and I wouldn’t have to be afraid of anything anymore."
After hearing everything, Du Xixi and the others felt uncomfortable, especially Mo Ying, who initially disliked the young man, thinking he was hypocritical and snobbish. At this moment, she felt truly sorry and genuinely saddened for this young man.
He really was an unlucky person. Orphaned at a young age, misled by people during his growth, schemed against, and even after finally winning the lottery and buying a villa, Chen Yin, whom he wanted to see, had long since left.
There must be some reasons to blame the pitiful, yet those blamed are not without their own reasons for pity. Du Xixi thought for a moment and gave him a very gentle smile: "Actually, even in the upper class circle, it’s not as you wish, where you fear nothing. Though we have money and power, we are ultimately members of the Blue Star Empire. We cannot bypass laws and do unethical things."
"That’s right! In the upper class circle, there are also the troubles of the upper class!" Mo Ying empathetically nodded, "Over the years, we’ve been in an awkward position too. People consider us as lofty, untouchable aristocratic children, but in fact, we also have our loves and hates, desires and fears."
"Although I’m not part of the upper class circle, I think, living in the circle that suits you the best is what truly matters!" Miao Miao, seeing her young lady and Mo Ying both speaking out, felt it was not right to stay silent, so she also added this sensible remark.
How could the young man not know that Du Xixi and the others were comforting him? The tears of shame had already fallen, but he only wiped them casually and said to the three of them with a smile, "Yes, so what about the upper class circle? You guys are just richer and more powerful! If I work hard, I can achieve that too!"
These "aggressive" words seemed more like the young man was brainwashing himself, so Mo Ying frowned, deciding to help him strengthen this brainwashing: "Exactly! We, people in the upper class, are just a bit richer, a bit more powerful, living a bit better than you, that’s all, we are no different!"
Those words...
Young Man: ...
Miao Miao: ...
Du Xixi held her forehead: Sister Mo Ying, even in Versailles this is a bit piercing!
Hearing this, the young man just stood there, crying and laughing, laughing and crying, before bowing once more to Du Xixi and the others, "I’m sorry, I was too reckless, I apologize for my inappropriate behavior."
