Everyone who knew him wanted a piece of his wealth, but no one expected that the first person to get a piece of that wealth was a greeter standing in front of the casino.
An injury he sustained in his childhood caused Lao Jia pain day and night. Once, when he was leaving after winning money, he staggered due to the severe pain. A new hostess at the door ran a few steps in high heels to support him, twisting her ankle in the process and becoming quite unsteady.
For a moment, it was unclear who was supporting whom, but the two managed to stay upright by holding each other.
Having seen too much of life, Lao Jia no longer trusted anyone and looked at the other person with suspicion. However, the hostess didn't care; she was simply being kind.
Seeing that no one was hurt, she limped back to the door and continued her work without saying a word, enduring the pain and maintaining a professional smile.
Old Jia stared at the person for a while, then silently left.
The next day, the greeter received an anonymous thank-you note; the zeros on the check were ones she had never seen before in her life.
She was overjoyed, yet also extremely apprehensive. She knew who had given it to her, but she never saw him again after that day.
She used the huge sum of money to settle her troublesome family affairs, quit her job, and began searching the whole city for her "benefactor." In another rainstorm, she found Old Jia, who was in pain and lying in an alley.
The woman wasn't very strong, but that day she carried Lao Jia for several kilometers in the rain. The doctor at the hospital said that Lao Jia had survived; if it had been any longer, he would have died.
The woman was relieved, but Lao Jia was not grateful; he still felt that the woman had come for the money.
However, a few days later, the major casinos learned that Old Jia, who frequently won money, had a shrewd and capable assistant behind him.
The assistant's surname is Sun, and no one knows his real name except Cheng Shi.
Because at this time, Aunt Sun was almost the same as when I first met her, the only difference being that she was not as wealthy.
However, Cheng Shi, who had witnessed half of Lao Jia's life, already knew where her money came from.
The rich second generation is actually myself...
Cheng Shi had considered it before; he had always felt that Lao Jia's past was not simple, but he never expected it to be so fascinating, and he never imagined that the cash on Aunt Sun's bed was all won from the casino.
Is the money borrowed for college still considered a loan?
It turns out that Lao Jia had already repaid Aunt Sun's kindness long ago.
Up to this point, his memory was still relatively normal, but what happened next made Cheng Shi, who was immersed in reminiscence, slowly realize that something was wrong.
Because he kept following in Lao Jia's footsteps, he actually saw some familiar faces in his memories, or rather, some familiar faces from the past.
Why are they here?
Is it a coincidence, or... fate?
