The Billionaire's Hidden Affection-Chapter 214: Hug 2_1

Yan Xixi was startled. She found herself dumbfounded for quite a while.

"So, you’re saying that folks like us, the ’have-nots,’ might as well not even bother?"

"Didn’t I tell you? The average person also has their ten-year period of great fortune. However, most people simply can’t grasp that opportunity, so they keep complaining. They wait for help, wait for the rich to be charitable, or they just give up entirely..."

So cruel! Yet, it was the truth.

"Then I will definitely seize that opportunity. Hehe, a monthly salary of fifty thousand is just my starting point. I will work even harder."

"Alright, show me your pay slip. Otherwise, I’ll just assume you’re bragging."

"You think I’m stupid? If I showed it to you, who knows what schemes you’d be brewing? Maybe you’re a huge scammer trying to con me out of my money. So, you can just assume I’m bragging."

"Haha, Miss, when it comes to con artists, who could possibly beat you? If you’re not convinced, then meet me in person."

"Don’t you know that online acquaintances rarely survive an actual meeting? You could be an ugly troll for all I know, and I could be a hideous hag. Why do we even have to meet?"

"Haha, can’t I just miss you?"

"..."

"Miss, when we meet, can you hug me?"

She curled her lip. "Didn’t you say you have AIDS? I don’t want to meet you; I’m afraid of getting infected."

"Just one hug. I’ll leave right after. You’d be doing a good deed. Can’t you do that?"

"Haha, if you were an innocent child victim, maybe I would consider showing you some sympathy. But, Boss, you surely got this disease from your promiscuity. My enlightenment really hasn’t reached the point of saving every living soul. Please forgive me, but I can’t bring myself to pity you."

"Miss, are you really not planning on meeting me?" 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Absolutely not!"

There was no reply for a long while. Just as Yan Xixi was about to turn off her phone, a new message popped up: "Miss, are you really engaged to that rich and handsome guy?"

Yan Xixi, thinking fast, simply replied, "I’m just focusing on my work right now. Other things don’t matter. Good night."

He sent another message, but there was no response. Suddenly overcome with curiosity, he tried calling her a while later, but her phone was off.

Actually, Yan Xixi hadn’t fallen asleep just yet. Her mind was replaying the stranger’s words: "Relying on personal effort alone to achieve wealth and status is definitely not enough, unless you are destined for great fortune! In this world, the forces that truly decide things are the unseen ones! Cultivating these unseen forces is life’s true mission!"

She had never pondered such profound truths before, only ever wondering why she was so unlucky. Her father had gotten into a car accident, causing them to lose everything, and then her mother had fallen seriously ill. Before she turned 27, she had barely experienced a single carefree day in her life.

It would have been easy for her to fall into a disreputable life and never recover. With a slightly weaker will, she could have ended up as someone’s mistress, spending her days shopping and playing mahjong.

She suddenly understood why she enjoyed communicating with that stranger. That stranger possessed great wisdom. Otherwise, an ordinary person wouldn’t have been able to utter such words. She felt she could learn a lot from him.

She recited his words three times, memorizing them. It felt like a true awakening.

Yes, even for an ordinary person, their ten-year period of good fortune should arrive. She was determined to seize that decade, come what may. Only with those ten years could she secure a lifetime!

Once again, she pulled out her pay slip, scrutinized every detail, and then carefully laminated and stored it. She decided to keep this pay slip for her entire life. Only when she was old and gray would she look back on this period of her life.
