    Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 190


    “I know him! He’s my ssmate from high school. What’s wrong, Gerald? We haven’t seen each other


    for around three years now. Have you forgotten about me?”


    Lilian said in surprise. But other than surprise, she seemed to be filled with a kind of sarcasm at that


    moment, mocking Gerald.


    It was the kind of feeling one had when she finally realized that the person whom she thought had long


    disappeared appeared in front of her again. After so many years, the b*stard whom she thought had


    long been dead appeared out of nowhere. She was filled with that kind of surprise.


    In fact, looking at Lilian like that, Gerald was stunned too. He was tongue-tied…


    Certainly, he knew who Lilian was. They were in the same ss since sophomore year. When they


    were about to go into different courses in junior high, they were put in the same ss again.


    At that moment, Lilian seemed to be the artmittee member. She was good at singing and dancing.


    However, there was nothing special in their rtionship back then.


    A girl like Lilian would certainly like those boys whose families were rich and were esteemed in high


    school. Gerald did not have those qualities.


    Further, their school was located in town, and Lilian was a resident there. So her taste and family


    background did not allow her to befriend a person like Gerald.


    For three years in high school, the things they said to each other were less than what they said to each


    other when they met each coincidentally there at the school just now.


    So they certainly did not keep in touch with each other after they graduated from high school.


    Although Gerald noticed Lilian’s disdainful gaze just now, he still cherished things of old.


    “Yes, we haven’t met each other for three years now. I almost couldn’t recognize you. You’re so much


    prettier now!”


    Gerald smiled slightly.


    “Hey! It’s indeed been a long time. Even you can learn how to praise others. But why did I feel quite


    awkward about it, listening to your praises?” Lilian crossed her arms around her chest and smiled


    coldly.


    “Lilian, let’s introduce him to us since he’s your old ssmate…”


    That woman noticed that Gerald appeared pleasing to the eye, so she smiled and said directly.


    “What the hell! Fiona, could you please stop fawning on every man you met all the time? Do you know


    what kind of a person Gerald was during my high school?”


    ‘Oh my god!’ Lilian was tongue-tied.


    Her best friend always acted like that. She was obsessed with finding herself a boyfriend every time


    she met a slightly handsome man.


    But she thought that Fiona really needed to keep her eyes open.


    Lilian could not help but admit that Gerald was indeed quite handsome, but he was just a…


    “What’s wrong?”


    “Gerald was an infamous poor person back in high school. Do you know what he usually ate during


    lunch hour at that time? He ate only in bread with a few pickled vegetables. Besides, his uniform


    was so shabby that the pants around his knees were all torn. He even put patches on them. But he did


    not even want to buy a new uniform!”


    “What? How is it possible that there’s such a poor person?”


    The beautiful woman——Fiona stuck out her tongue, iming that she was indeed frightened and


    shocked.


    “I don’t believe you! Lilian, are you exaggerating the facts?”


    That man smiled bitterly. “If I was as poor as that, I think it’s better if I kill myself!”


    “What? Was I exaggerating the facts? Gerald, tell them whether what I said is true.”


    Lilian became anxious.


    She just wanted to prove to the others that she was right. Regarding how he condemned Gerald and


    upset him, Lilian did not even think about it. For her, Gerald was just a gossip topic.


    Gerald sneered. “Yes, it’s true!”


    Gerald smiled faintly, realizing that Lilian’s temper and characteristics had not changed at all.


    Although she annoyed him, he did not appear angry at all.


    After all, what Lilian said just now was true. He did not care even if they looked down on him given that


    it was meaningless if he exposed his real identity and showed off his wealth before them.


    “By the way, Lilian, why did youe to this school? From what I see, are you the teacher here? Did


    you find your job so soon?”


    Gerald asked her. When he left the conference hall, he found that all of the teachers there were in that


    uniform.


    “Yes, wepleted our internship fast. Besides, I have a teacher qualification certificate. Certainly, I


    get it all done and settled. From now on, I’ll be leading a life here in this big city——Mayberry. How


    about you? I heard that you’re studying at Mayberry University. Have you found a job yet?”


    After all, Lilian was quite mature now after all those years. Although she looked down on Gerald, she


    still inquired after him politely.


    “Me? Not yet. I’m still wondering what I should do from now on!”


    Lilian smiled.


    “To be frank, Gerald, I thought that you’ll be much improved after you went to college. Surprisingly… If


    you couldn’t do it, just return to your hometown. See if you could find a job in the town. If not, you could


    always return to your vige and buy somend. You can start with farming or something else. That’s


    how university students nowadays start their business!”


    Lilian crossed her arms around her chest. Right from the start, she felt that Gerald was a good-for-


    nothing. After having a casual conversation with him, her opinion of him worsened.


    He was about to go for an internship, but he still did not know what kind of thing he wanted to do in the


    future.


    Looking at how Lilian advised him, he only smiled bitterly and nodded repeatedly.


    Beside them, that man nodded too. He then said, “What you said is right. It’s difficult for university


    students to find a job nowadays. Some smallpanies do not have a promising future. Therge


    companies want only the talented ones. Just look at Mayberry university, only the most exceptional


    ones will be able to find good jobs. How about the others? They either rely on some connections or


    their families in order to have a promising future.”


    Another girl beside them added, “That’s true. The people who suffer the most are the ones like Gerald.


    He doesn’t even have the capabilities and eloquence. Besides, he’s quite poor both economically and


    in the cultural aspect too.”


    They were immersed in a heated discussion, and Gerald stood there having nothing to do.


    Atst, Gerald managed to say something after they were done. “Are the four of you the newly


    recruited teachers here? It’s not bad indeed. The sry given is quite good too since the investor has


    provided a huge amount of funds. The living arrangement which they prepared is quite good too!”

    Gerald just wanted to chat with her as an old school mate.


    “What the hell? Gerald, don’t pretend that you know a lot here. You said those things just because you


    want to show off in front of us. I’m well aware of that. What do you have to be so smug about? I know


    about your situation clearly. Do you want me to spill everything?”


    Lilian said rather helplessly.


    Gerald only touched his nose slightly and smiled bitterly.


    “By the way, let me tell you something since we bumped into each other here today…”


    At that moment, Lilian looked up, as if she had thought about something.
