The middle-aged man raised his eyes.
This was not the first time he had seen this little girl. When it rained acid before, this little girl was also very strong.
Instead, it was myself.
It must be embarrassing for a grown-up like that to cry like a baby in front of a child.
Silence can easily make people fall into sadness, not to mention that there are people around, he can't afford to lose face.
Then he shifted his attention to tell Su Xiao a story, "My mother has had Alzheimer's for five years. The doctor said that a familiar environment would help her condition, so I sent her back to my hometown and found a nurse to take care of her. We used to live here, and my father passed away a long time ago..."
His eyes fell on Lidya Su’s feet, and he said casually: “The one buried under your feet is my dad.”
The sudden words scared Su Xiao, and he quickly jumped away, feeling remorseful in his heart.
I didn't mean to bother you, please don't blame me.
"No, the hurricane came and blew the tombstones over and blew the coffins away."
The middle-aged man added.
Su Xiao: ...
That's quite rude.
"After my dad passed away, my mom raised me alone and paid for my college education. After graduating, I found a job working in operations for a live-streaming company. Luckily, I made a few popular accounts and moved up to management. I worked there for seven years, saved a lot of money, and then my husband and I quit to strike out on our own."
The man struggled to dig a hole, "but ended up getting scammed. The account I worked so hard to create became someone else's wedding dress, and I couldn't get it back even after suing. I refused to accept it, so I started my own company and started over. But when the platform reformed and the rules changed, I lost everything in less than a year!"
"I was very depressed at the time. I felt like a loser, a burden to my family in my thirties and still having accomplished nothing. My mother sold the house and jewelry I had bought for her and gave me all her savings, asking me to start over. That's when I finally had the confidence to invest in the company. The first two years were negative growth, with no profit, and I was heavily in debt."
"I nearly had a mental breakdown during that time, but my mom always supported me. She said if life outside wasn't easy, I could go back to my hometown with her and farm. We still have a house there. Luckily, my account started to pick up steam that year, and I gained over 300,000 followers. I took advantage of this opportunity to sell products through live streaming, and within two years, I took the company public with a market capitalization of 100 million yuan."
"My career has paid off, and I'm not young anymore, so I want to start a family. The girl I liked before is already married, so I went abroad to relax and met my current girlfriend. She's gentle, young, beautiful, and understanding. She's great in every way except her Chinese."
"She got pregnant half a month ago and wanted me to go back to Ireland with her to get the marriage certificate. I made time and booked the plane tickets, but damn, the hurricane blew it away!"
The man cursed, biting back the curse words as he continued, suppressing his anger.
"I'm the only office left in my building. I happened to be at work last night, and it became a safe house. It was blown away before any employees even arrived. I found a powerful vehicle to check on my mom, and when I found her alive, I felt a lot better. But the next day, I found that thing guarding her door."
"I wanted to solve it so that my mom wouldn't wake up and run into me for some reason, but... why did she think of sending me eggs today?"
The man's voice choked, and he kicked a shovel violently, grabbing his hair and cursing angrily, "Fuck! This damn apocalypse!"
He had everything at first, but a strong wind caused him to lose everything.
After venting his emotions, he seemed to remember that there was someone next to him, "Sorry... Uncle lost his composure..."
Lidya Su stopped digging when she saw that the pit was almost done. She didn't know what to say to comfort her, so she could only say: "Grandma hopes you can live well."
After hearing this, the man gave a mocking smile to the sky.
"I, Liu Jiansheng, have seen all sorts of storms in my life! I will never let you go even if it's just a doomsday!"
The raindrops pattered against his face, as if in a counterattack. He spat into the air in disdain before continuing with what he was doing.
Su Xiao waited until he put the old lady into the pit and buried her before taking out the props that had just dropped.
"I played a crucial role in the boss fight, and I stole three items. Since you're older, I'll let you choose one."
