    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 172


    He arrived at La’s dormitory door.


    “Gerald?”


    La, who had cried until her eyes were red and swollen, opened the door. She was obviously very


    surprised when she saw Gerald.


    “La, are you okay? I came to see you!”


    Gerald quickly replied.


    “I am fine. I do not want to trouble you. Anyway, I feel that my existence in this world is superfluous and


    I will only drag many people down with me if I continue living in this world!”


    La sat on the edge of her bed as she covered her eyes and started crying again.


    “What nonsense are you talking about, La? In fact, I used to be just like you. Ever since I was


    young, my father told me that my family was very poor and we owed people a lot of money. My sister


    did not even finish high school and she went out to work at a young age because of me. My sister was


    actually very smart and she did very well in her studies but she gave up on her high school exams


    because of me!”


    Gerald wanted to persuade La. Perhaps it was because both of them were very poor, Gerald could


    not help but think of his past self.


    It proved to be very effective. La stopped crying as she looked at Gerald.


    Gerald continued speaking:


    “Do you know how much psychological pressure I was facing at that time? Do you know how much


    responsibility I was carrying on my shoulders at that time because my family had ced all of their


    hopes on me? That was the reason why I tried hard to study desperately. I desperately wanted to stand


    out so that I would not be looked down on.”


    “But what could I do? I was still being bullied and insulted often. I feel inferior when Ipare myself to


    others. Because of my own inferiority, I did not even dare to speak to girls when I saw them because I


    was afraid that they would look down on me!”


    “In fact, they really looked down on me and they would often talk and gossip about me. However, I


    would often tell myself that I have to continue living a good life because all of these humiliations would


    pass eventually. Moreover, I also begin to understand one truth!”


    Gerald was filled with emotions as he spoke.


    La hurriedly asked, “What is that truth?”


    “A person should think and do things ording to the stage that they are at. This is the only way not to


    be in too much pain and suffering. You are still studying and gaining more knowledge at this time, but


    you are constantly thinking about how you are going to earn money and make more money. Is that


    realistic?”


    “Yes, I really want to make a lot of money but I cannot do it. However, it is only natural for you to say all


    this now. After all, you won the lottery and you have better luckpared to everyone else!”


    La replied depressingly.


    “I am indeed luckier than others. However, you have to believe that something like that will happen to


    you one day too! In short, all things will pass sooner orter. You do not have to feel so stressed and


    depressed all the time because of this. Instead, what you should be thinking of now is a solution to this


    matter!”


    Gerald advised.


    La lowered her head before she said, “Okay, okay. I understand now. Thank you, Gerald. Let me


    think about it!”


    Gerald had never persuaded anyone before this, nor did he know how to persuade anyone at all.


    However, since he knew about La’s problem now, and since she was actually a pretty good


    ssmate, he definitely had to help her since he encountered this incident himself.


    Knock! Knock! Knock!


    At this time, there was a loud mming noise outside the dormitory door.

    It felt as though someone was going to break down the door from the outside.


    After that, La walked over and opened the door immediately.


    At this time, a chubby middle-aged woman rushed into the room. She had a very broad face and her


    eyebrows were tattooed and it looked as though she had two caterpirs crawling on her face.


    “I was wondering why you didn’t open the door! You little btch! It is simply because you have a man in


    your room! Your dad was even saying that you were studying hard at school! Pfft! You little btch!”


    “Mom! Don’t say that! Gerald is my ssmate and he came here to see me!”


    La cried out.


    “Don’t call me mom! I am 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 took out her cell phone immediately.


    La started panicking and she immediately said, “Gerald, you should leave first. Thank you for


    everything today!”


    “Okay!”


    Gerald really wanted to scold this crazy woman but he knew that he should not say anything because


    no matter what it was, she was still La’s mother.


    “How can a mother be acting like this?”


    Gerald simply muttered a sentence before he left.


    He really could not help but wonder if La’s mother was really her biological mother since she was


    scolding La and calling her a little b*tch as soon as she saw her.


    After encountering and getting scolded by crazy women, one after the other today, Gerald was in a bad


    mood.


    He wanted to go and take a walk in the park to rx a little.


    At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang. It was a phone call from his sister, Jessica.


    Gerald answered the phone immediately and he was about to ask his sister about Mayberry


    Commercial Street.


    Unexpectedly, his sister’s nervous voice sounded over the other end of the line as soon as the call was


    connected:


    “Brother! Something bad has happened. Your sister has gotten into big trouble!”
