[Chapter 11]
Gerald knew that whatever photograph she was talking about was just an excuse to meet him.
In fact, Gerald did not want to meet Xavia at all.
He felt very heartbroken because he really loved her before this.
However, he would be lying if he said that he did not have any feelings for her.
As soon as Gerald heard Xavia’s depressed voice, he agreed to meet her immediately.
He got up and looked for the pictures that he had been keeping in his cupboard all this while.
They had both taken these pictures by the small lake by the campus before this.
At that time, Xavia had held out her arms affectionately and Gerald had also taken her in his arms as he smiled sweetly at her.
However, now that the situation had already developed into the way it had, Gerald’s heart was aching badly.
Gerald stared at the one hundred thousand dollars that he had withdrawn from the bank that morning.
In fact, Gerald wanted to spend that money to enjoy life and make up for everything that he had missed out on in the past.
Gerald finally realized that he was being too naïve.
He didn’t need any cash at all. He could do anything he wanted to with all the cards his sister had given him.
Gerald knew that leaving so much money in his dormitory was not a solution. How should he explain the situation to his roommates if they found the money?
Over the years, he had this bunch of sincere buddies by his side because of his poverty.
However, Gerald was afraid that he would lose them if he told them the truth now.
“Alright. I’ll go down to meet Xavia before I deposit this one hundred thousand dollars back into my bank account.”
Gerald could not find a nice paper bag. Therefore, he simply grabbed a black garbage bag from his dormitory before he placed the one hundred thousand dollars into the bag along with the picture that he had taken with Xavia by the small campus lake.
“I’m here, Gerald!”
Xavia started waving her hands at him as soon as she saw him walking towards him.
It felt exactly like the time when they were still dating each other.
In fact, Xavia was the one who felt the most uncomfortable today.
Gerald had bought a Hermes bag worth fifty-five thousand dollars today.
Fifty-five thousand dollars!
How long would it take an ordinary person to make that amount of money?
This was especially difficult because Gerald had become rich as soon as she dumped him! Xavia could not believe what she had missed out on.
That was the reason why she decided to use the photograph as an excuse to meet up with Gerald.
“What is wrong?” Gerald was still upset when he arrived at the lake but he didn’t show Xavia his soft and gentle side. Instead, he pretended to be cold and indifferent towards her.
Xavia could not help but glance at the black garbage bag in Gerald’s hand.
After that, she said, “Ahh! I thought you would’ve brought something else with you when you came to meet me.”
Xavia was very disappointed.
She was initially fantasizing that Gerald would bring the fifty-five thousand dollar Hermes bag along with him as he begged her to get back together with him.
Unexpectedly, he was simply going to throw his garbage out after he was done meeting her.
Gerald took the picture out of his pocket before he said, “Here, Xavia. After I return this photograph to you, we’ll both have no connection to each other anymore.”
Gerald was planning to keep the photograph as a memory but it seemed as though he no longer needed to do that!
Xavia was a little anxious at this time. She felt very aggrieved and she stomped her feet before she hit Gerald in his chest.
“You’re such an idiot! You really are an idiot! Did you really think that the reason why I asked you to meet me here is simply because I wanted you to return this photograph to me?”
Gerald had a surprised expression on his face. “If that’s not the reason, then why did you ask me to meet you?”
“Gerald! How can I make you understand the truth? Do you really think I have something to do with Yuri?”
Xavia said, “You’re a fool! I only did this because I was trying to test you!”
“Test me?” Gerald asked as he smiled bitterly.
She went to the grove with Yuri because she wanted to test him? At the end of the day, it seemed as though it was a test for herself.
Gerald did not want to say anything else anymore.
“Alright then, you can conduct whatever tests you want. I will just return this photograph to you and we should both just stay away from one another from now on. Goodbye!”
Gerald shook his head before he turned around to leave.
“You, you…Gerald, stop! If you walk away from me now, I’ll jump into the lake immediately!”
Xavia really did not expect Gerald, who used to be so obedient and thoughtful towards her, to act so indifferent and cold towards her now.
Xavia mustered up her courage as she stood towards the lake, just as Gerald had already expected her to.
Gerald knew that she was just trying to stall him, while he wanted to leave right away.
However, when he saw Xavia leaning towards the lake, Gerald kept feeling his eyelids twitching out of fear.
He hurried over to Xavia before he hugged her and stopped her from jumping into the lake.
There were tears in Xavia’s eyes as she said, “Don’t try and stop me! If you don’t believe me, then I’d rather die! Just let me die! Let me die!”
Gerald took a deep breath. To be honest, he really did not trust Xavia anymore.
This was especially so after he heard the entire story of why Xavia dumped him from Nigel.
However, Xavia was threatening to jump into the lake if he left her and he felt that she was being sincere.
Gerald could not deny that he was a little moved at this time. After that, he hurriedly said, “Okay, okay, I believe you.”
Xavia broke into a smile before she said, “I knew it, Gerald! I knew that you’re still in love with me. Even if I jumped into the lake today, it wouldn’t be because you bought the Hermes bag or because you’re rich now, but I just wanted to prove to you that my love for you is real!”
“From the beginning to the end, I’ve never been a materialistic person. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been together for so long!”
Gerald did not say anything at all.
At this time, Xavia looked at Gerald suspiciously before she said, “By the way, Gerald, I’m really curious. How did you become so rich all of a sudden? How can you afford to pay fifty-five thousand dollars for a bag?”
Xavia could not help but ask.
Gerald knew that Xavia would definitely ask him this question.
However, he was no longer the Gerald who would tell her everything.
Similarly, Gerald wanted to test Xavia.
“Oh, so this is what happened. I rescued a young girl who was hit by a car just a few days ago and I would never have expected the young girl’s family to be so wealthy. However, since they were in a hurry, her parents decided to give me a one-off shopper’s card. They told me that it’s a very valuable card and they simply wanted to express their gratitude to me.”
Xavia’s eyes widened immediately. “In other words, you can only use that Universal Global Supreme Shopper’s Card once?”
Gerald nodded.
“Then, then…where is that bag now? You can definitely resell that bag for a lot of money!”
Xavia was a little disappointed.
She really thought that Gerald got rich overnight.
At least, he still had that Hermes bag that was worth fifty-five thousand dollars.
Gerald replied, “I gave Naomi that Hermes bag as a birthday present.”
“What?!” Xavia was shocked. “You gave that bag away? You gave the bag that was worth fifty-five thousand dollars away? In other words, you are left with nothing now?”
Gerald nodded.
“Xavia, I really can’t believe that you’re not a materialistic person. To think that you’re actually deeply in love with me. We should…”
Gerald wanted to hold Xavia’s hand at this time.
Slap!
“Get away from me! Why would I be in love with a pauper like you?”
After finding out the truth, Xavia gave Gerald a tight slap across his face.
“Damn it. I can’t believe that I wasted so much time and almost jumped into the lake because of you! This is ridiculous! This is just so stupid!”
Xavia yelled at Gerald as she glared at him in disgust.
Hahaha…
Gerald completely gave up on Xavia when he saw her acting like this.
It turned out that this was actually Xavia’s true colors.
“Xavia, I’m really very disappointed in you…” Gerald said as tears welled up in his eyes.
Both of them used to be so good together.
“Please don’t waste my time. I don’t care if a poor man like you feels disappointed in me! I really shouldn’t have bothered wasting my time on you. People like you should just pick up trash!”
To vent her anger and frustration, Xavia grabbed the garbage bag in Gerald’s hand.
She wanted to throw the bag of garbage directly at his face.
However, since she grabbed the garbage bag so hard, the garbage bag tore apart.
The one hundred thousand dollars scattered on the ground.
They were all red bank notes!
“What? This…”
Xavia’s eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the money on the ground…
[Chapter 12]
Xavia stared at the money scattered all over the ground.
She was very confused.
She would never have dreamt that Gerald’s garbage bag actually contained a pile of money!
“What? This money…”
Xavia did not know what to think. “Gerald, where did you get this money?”
Gerald ignored Xavia.
Instead, he squatted down before he picked up the one hundred thousand dollars from the ground.
“Why do you care? Didn’t you say that I’m not worthy of someone like you because I’m just a poor man?”
After that, Gerald turned around to leave.
Xavia was getting impatient at this time.
If Gerald was really poor and if he had really bought the bag with that one-time shopper’s card, Xavia would not feel that it was a pity for them to break up.
She would never regret her actions!
However, now Gerald actually had one hundred thousand dollars in cash…
“Gerald, stop! You’d better explain this matter to me. Otherwise, I’ll scream!” Xavia yelled as she jumped anxiously.
She had to figure out the truth.
She didn’t know why she was especially afraid that Gerald had really become a rich man overnight.
Scream?
Hahaha.
Gerald smiled bitterly before he said, “Xavia, you can just do whatever you want to.”
“Ahh! Help! Help me! Someone is trying to rape me!” Xavia screamed as loud as she could.
Even though it was already late at night, there were still many campus couples who were out together.
As soon as they heard Xavia screaming, they looked towards the lake immediately.
“Damn it!”
Gerald would never have imagined that Xavia would actually scream for help and say that he was trying to rape her!
“Xavia, what are you trying to do? Okay, you win and I lose.” Gerald hurried back to Xavia before urging her to shut up.
“Gerald, I just want you to tell me why you have one hundred thousand dollars in cash! Tell me the truth now!” Xavia said as she frowned.
Gerald had already lost all hope in this woman.
He didn’t want to have anything else to do with her.
Therefore, he decided to continue with his lie just so she would give up on him completely.
“Oh, I have to return this one hundred thousand dollars to someone. Didn’t I tell you about the young girl that I saved a few days ago? Besides giving me the shopper’s card, they also decided to give me a ten thousand dollar cash reward. However, they gave me too much and they gave me one hundred thousand dollars instead. That is the reason why I am going to return the ninety thousand dollars to them!” Gerald said in a sincere manner.
Xavia finally understood the whole situation.
First of all, she knew that Gerald was not a good liar.
Secondly, if Gerald really did become rich overnight, why would he still be dressed so casually?
He did not look like a rich man at all.
After listening to Gerald’s explanation, everything finally fell into place.
Everything finally seemed very logical now.
“I understand now. In other words, aside from the ten thousand dollars in cash, you have nothing left!”
Xavia took a deep breath and she felt as though she could finally let go of Gerald with no regrets at all.
“If you’re satisfied, I’d like to leave now.”
After that, Gerald walked away with the one hundred thousand dollars in hand.
“A poor man will always be a poor man! It’d be better for me to go back to my Yuri!”
Xavia also left in a hurry after staring at Gerald’s back contemptuously.
Gerald couldn’t help but feel very distressed after depositing his money into the ATM machine.
Xavia had changed completely and he could not recognize her at all.
Xavia, Xavia.
If she could just forget about that Hermes bag and if she really did not care whether he had any money, he wouldn’t have minded getting back together with her.
After all, Gerald did not only have ten thousand dollars. He had countless ten thousand dollars belonging to him!
Ahh!
Gerald sighed as he started walking back to his dormitory.
At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang.
It was a phone call from Naomi.
“Gerald, do you want to have some cake? If you’d like to, drop by the girls’ dormitory! I’ll bring you some!”
Naomi had always been very concerned and thoughtful towards Gerald.
In fact, both of them got along very well and Naomi had always felt very happy and relaxed whenever she was with Gerald.
She could also have sincere conversations with Gerald.
Unlike all the other boys, Gerald did not have any bad intentions and he was really her friend because he wanted to be her friend. He was not thinking of getting into bed with her at all!
Hmm!
“Cake? It’s okay, I don’t feel like eating anymore…”
Gerald laughed. He really cherished his friendship with his only female friend, Naomi.
“Okay then. Gerald, no matter what happened tonight, just remember that you’ll always be my good friend! I really like the bag that you bought me!”
The both of them continued talking for a short while before Naomi finally hung up the phone.
At this time, many of her friends were waiting in her dormitory.
“Naomi, why are you so nice towards someone like him?”
“Alice, I know that you look down on Gerald, but you have to believe me! He isn’t the kind of person you think he is! He’s a very genuine and nice person if you’d just try to get to know him better.”
Alice was also at Naomi’s room at this time.
In fact, the person who felt most distressed tonight was Alice.
She was planning to meet a nice guy that she could consider dating tonight but the first person she had encountered was Gerald. After that, she ended up having good feelings for Nigel, who lost everything overnight.
Alice felt really upset when she thought about how embarrassing it was when they were waiting outside Wayfair Mountain Entertainment but they could not get in.
It was such an unpleasant experience!
Alice felt that her bad luck had begun as soon as she met Gerald!
That was also the reason why she hated and despised Gerald.
“I can’t believe that he even gave you a fake Hermes bag! I wouldn’t have found that Gerald so disgusting if not for this bag!”
Alice felt very annoyed when she saw Naomi treating the bag that Gerald had given her like some sort of treasure.
She grabbed the bag from Naomi before throwing it into the trash can.
Naomi quickly walked over to the trash can to pick it up.
“Happy birthday, Naomi!”
Before she could do so, some of her good friends from the dormitory next door came over to her room with a big cake with them.
“Ah!! You girls are here!”
Naomi hurried over to the door to greet her friends.
After that, Felicity and Xavia walked into Naomi’s room.
Even though Naomi did not talk to Xavia much anymore because of Gerald, she still greeted her with a smile on her face.
“Wow! Naomi, you must have received a lot of fantastic gifts! How could you actually throw such a beautiful bag into the trash can? Oh my god. It’s even a Hermes bag!” Felicity said jokingly when she saw the Hermes bag in the trash can.
Felicity Nelson was definitely a goddess because she was so beautiful. Both Felicity and Alice could be considered the two most beautiful girls in the entire dormitory.
When Alice looked at Felicity, who was equally as beautiful and elegant as herself, Alice could not help but feel a little competitive.
“Hmm! So, what if it’s Hermes? It is just a fake Hermes bag bought by a very poor man!” Alice said as she frowned.
At this time, Xavia was standing next to Felicity and the expression on her face changed as soon as she saw the Hermes bag that they were talking about.
She naturally recognized that this was the Hermes bag that Gerald had bought for fifty-five thousand dollars that morning!
She felt very uncomfortable after seeing the bag.
“A fake?”
Felicity picked the bag up from the trash can before she looked at it carefully.
After a short while, Felicity’s eyes widened in surprise as she kept turning the bag around in her hand.
“This…I don’t think that this is a fake Hermes. I think that this is a genuine product!”
“Genuine?” The group of girls in the dormitory were all surprised. “How could that be possible? Gerald is so poor. How could he possibly afford to buy Naomi a genuine Hermes bag?”
“This bag is a limited edition collector’s item and it is selling for more than fifty thousand dollars!” Alice said contemptuously.
Alice did not know why she could feel her heart beating frantically when Felicity said that the Hermes bag was actually a genuine product!
“No, I’m certain that this is a genuine product. I’ve touched the genuine Hermes bag in their boutique store and it feels exactly the same. It’s completely impossible for a fake Hermes bag to have the same texture as the original. I have the phone number of the manager working at the Hermes boutique store directly opposite our university and I can call her to ask if someone has purchased this collector’s item from their boutique store. We’ll know the truth then!”
Felicity held the Hermes bag in her hand as if it was a very precious item.
Her remark made all the girls gasp immediately.
At this time, Felicity took out her cell phone as she prepared to call the manager of the Hermes boutique store.
“You don’t need to make the call…” At this time, Xavia suddenly spoke up. In fact, if Felicity wasn’t about to make the phone call, she wouldn’t want to tell the truth because Gerald had actually bought this expensive bag worth fifty-five thousand dollars for someone else.
However, since Felicity was going to make the phone call, she decided that she might as well tell them the truth directly.
“This Hermes bag is indeed a genuine product. When Gerald bought the bag this morning, Yuri and I… we were also at the Hermes boutique store. He paid fifty-five thousand dollars for that bag!”
“What?”
Bam!
Everyone in the dormitory froze in place.
[Chapter 13]
Xavia quickly explained what she had encountered that morning to all the girls in the dormitory.
“Oh my god. It’s actually true! That Hermes bag is actually worth fifty-five thousand dollars!”
“Gerald had always been living off the subsidy from the university and the money he made from running errands for everyone else. I really didn’t expect him to have such good luck! He actually received such a luxurious Universal Global Supreme Shopper’s Card!
“Damn it! If Gerald is willing to give me this Hermes bag, I’d definitely be more than willing to spend the night with him!”
“One night? No way! If Gerald is willing to give me this Hermes bag, I’m willing to be his woman for at least one month!”
“Oh, you’re so shameless!”
Even though they all knew that Gerald’s card was just for a one-time use, knowing that the Hermes bag was a genuine one worth fifty-five thousand dollars was still very shocking to everyone.
Even if they sold this bag, they could easily get forty to fifty thousand dollars!
This was still money!
Alice had a very ugly expression on her face at this time.
She never would have expected Gerald to actually give Naomi a Hermes bag that was worth fifty-five thousand dollars as her birthday gift.
She suddenly thought of all the contempt that she felt for him today as well as the envy and admiration that the other girls were feeling for the Hermes bag at this time.
Alice felt as though she had just been played.
She got even more furious at this time.
“Hahaha. Even if the bag is really worth fifty-five thousand dollars, doesn’t Gerald know that he could have just sold the Universal Global Supreme Shopper’s Card for more money instead of using it directly? This only proves that this person is very dim-witted!” Alice said after analyzing the situation.
Xavia also nodded in acknowledgement. “Yes! There’s definitely a problem with Gerald’s brain!”
“Hahaha. Please don’t be jealous! Gerald gave the fifty-five thousand dollars Hermes bag to Naomi as a birthday gift. We should be happy for her! Naomi, you should treat him to a meal!”
Felicity giggled.
She wasn’t only beautiful but she was also a live broadcaster.
She had already seen a lot in this world.
“Yes, yes! Naomi, you should treat him to dinner!”
“Naomi, can you just lend me this Hermes bag for one day? Just one day!”
All the girls were begging Naomi at this time.
Naomi was in shock. Why should she lend them the bag? The first thing that came to her mind was the fact that Gerald probably did not know that he could have sold the shopper’s card for more money instead! She was afraid that he had been fooled by the salesgirl.
After all, Gerald had never experienced this sort of luxury before.
“No, I’m going to return this bag to Gerald. If he decides to sell the bag, he can make at least forty to fifty thousand dollars and he’ll be able to live a carefree life in university without having to worry about money anymore!”
Naomi thought differently from others and she was actually worried about Gerald.
“No way!”
“No way!”
Unexpectedly, Xavia and Alice yelled out loud in unison.
Xavia was thinking to herself and she really could not accept the fact that Gerald would actually have fifty thousand dollars if that happened.
She didn’t want that to happen at all.
She didn’t want Gerald to be living a better life after she dumped him.
Xavia wanted Gerald to be poor and miserable without her.
On the other hand, Alice simply hated Gerald.
“Naomi, why would you do that? Gerald was the one who gave you the Hermes bag so why would you return it to him?”
Alice frowned immediately.
Felicity smiled before she said, “It’s such a valuable Hermes bag. You shouldn’t waste it just like that! I want to start a live broadcast and show my viewers this bag! Do you mind if I do that, Naomi?”
Naomi shook her head as she smiled.
Even though Naomi agreed to allow Felicity to show the Hermes bag on her live broadcast, she was thinking about how she would convince Gerald to return the bag to the luxury store the next day.
Even if they couldn’t get back the original amount that Gerald had paid for the bag, they could at least get back forty to fifty thousand dollars.
Click! Click!
The group of girls rushed over to take pictures of the Hermes bag.
The Hermes bag finally fell into Felicity’s hand.
She started her live broadcast immediately.
“Hello, babies! I’ve not seen all of you for a day and I really missed all of you. Besides, I have some beautiful babies with me here today as an added bonus!” Felicity said as she smiled cutely at the camera.
In a blink of an eye, there were already more than three thousand people watching the live broadcast.
Felicity had already been hosting live broadcasts for more than a year.
Since she was hosting a local live broadcast, most of her fans were her classmates and her university mates.
As soon as Felicity appeared, the discussion in the live broadcast room was extremely lively.
“Damn! This is really a bonus! I really like that tall girl with red hair!”
“Wow! Please give me the number of that beautiful girl with red hair!”
“Oh my god. Felicity, you’re actually friends with Alice from the Broadcasting and Media Department?”
“Ahh! Alice from the Broadcasting and Media Department is simply too gorgeous. You’re taking my breath away!”
On the other side, Alice, who had always had a cold expression on her face, finally smiled when she saw her name on the live chat.
She did not feel as depressed as she felt when she saw the beautiful Felicity earlier.
She nodded as she smiled slightly at the fans on the screen.
“Wow! Are you guys more interested in the other beauties now? Hmph! I’m so sad!”
Felicity made a gesture as though she was wiping the tears away from her eyes as she showed an aggrieved expression on her face.
After that, the crowd of people replied immediately.
“How would that be possible? All of you beauties are my wives! I love all of you.”
At this time, the live broadcast room prompted:
The wealthy and young Yuri is now online!
The super wealthy Danny is now online!
When their classmates saw that Felicity was online, everyone started watching her live broadcast immediately.
Felicity was really a very beautiful and gorgeous girl and she was very experienced and professional in her live broadcasts.
Therefore, she was many boys’ dream girl.
However, Felicity also had very high demands and standards.
Both Yuri and Danny, who were from the next class, had already tried to pursue her before but they failed undoubtedly. This was also the reason why they would both always try to support and help Felicity.
They wanted to get in her good books!
“Babies, you’re all in love with someone else now and I’m already crying! Aren’t you going to send me some gifts? I am giving you guys the pleasure of looking at so many beautiful girls now!” Felicity said in an aggrieved manner.
Gerald’s roommate, Harper, had always been in love with Felicity.
Therefore, he sent her ten roses at once.
Each rose was priced at one dollar.
“Wow, thank you so much Harper! I’ve received your love!”
Harper then replied, “You’re so beautiful, goddess. By the way, isn’t the bag in your hand the gift that Gerald had given Naomi today?”
At this time, Harper typed his comment in the live chat.
This instantly sparked a heated discussion among the viewers.
“Damn it! I didn’t even realize that it’s a Hermes bag. Moreover, it seems like it’s the limited edition collector’s item!”
“Oh my god! Felicity, are you getting sponsored by a man? My heart is breaking into pieces!”
Danny said, “Hahaha. Yuri told me that Gerald bought this bag for Naomi with a one-time shopper’s card. Hahaha. I cannot believe that Gerald is so stupid!”
The netizens then replied, “Oh my god. He must be an idiot!”
Xavia had obviously told Yuri about how Gerald could afford to buy the bag and Yuri had told Danny and his friends about it.
After that, the online discussion revolved around Gerald.
Yuri: “Hahaha. I’m really stimulated by many idiots today. Xavia actually fought with me for the entire day because of what Gerald did! I really feel as though we wasted a lot of time because of that idiot!”
Harper realized that they were all mocking Gerald.
Therefore, he tried to change the subject by sending Felicity another ten roses, one after the other.
Danny said, “Harper, why are you sending Felicity this broken gift? Can you only afford to send her roses?”
After that, he continued typing.
“Why don’t you send her a rocket instead?”
One rocket cost a hundred dollars.
“Danny sent you a rocket!”
“Danny send you a rocket!”
Danny sent five consecutive rockets in a row!
Felicity, Xavia and Alice were extremely excited at this time. They didn’t realize that it was so easy to make money through a live broadcast!
Since he did not want to fall behind, Yuri sent Felicity ten consecutive rockets at the same time.
One thousand dollars.
He wanted to wipe out all the bad luck from his encounter with Gerald today.
Xavia was very proud at this time. This was her man Yuri!
Danny then replied, “Hahaha. Harper, I think even if everyone in your dormitory, including Gerald, were to pool all your money together, you wouldn’t even be able to compare to me! You’re all just six paupers to me! Do you want to compete with me in the live broadcast room today?”
Harper was furious at this time.
At this time, in Gerald’s dormitory, Gerald sneezed and he woke up from his sleep.
After that, he saw all the messages that his classmates were sending, one after the other.
When he turned on his cell phone, he realized that his classmates were all talking about him and the Hermes bag that Felicity had shared on her live broadcast.
All the beautiful girls were saying that he was a fool.
What was happening?
Gerald was stunned. Were they mocking him?
When Gerald read through the messages from his classmates he realized that Felicity must have talked about him in her live broadcast.
Was he a part of her sharing today?
As he thought about it, Gerald quickly logged into Felicity’s live broadcast.
As soon as he logged into the live chatroom, he saw Danny and Yuri insulting and making fun of his roommates.
“Six paupers?”
Gerald smiled coldly to himself.
[Chapter 14]
At this time, Yuri and Danny were creating a scene in the live broadcast room.
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
Ten consecutive international cruise ships were sent at one go!
The price of each international cruise ship was one thousand dollars!
“Wow!”
“Thank you, Ordinary Man! I love you, Ordinary Man!”
Felicity yelled out in excitement.
Each of the girls could not help but looked at the screen on Felicity’s phone at this time.
This was no ordinary person! He had actually sent her ten international cruise ships worth ten thousand dollars at one go!
Alice and Xavia were slightly surprised at this time.
They already heard that they could make money from live broadcasts a long time ago and they were finally convinced today.
“Ordinary Man, are you from our university? Which department are you from?” asked some of the girls at this time.
At the same time, Yuri and Danny, who were viewing the live broadcast, suddenly felt very languished.
Of course, they had ten thousand dollars. In fact, each of them had around twenty to thirty thousand dollars as their allowance every month.
However, if this tyrant could swipe ten thousand dollars at one go, he must really be an extraordinary person.
They would never be able to steal the limelight from him!
Felicity was also very excited at this time. “Yes, Original Man. May I know which department you’re from?”
Ordinary Man replied, “I’m from the Language Department!”
“Eh? The Language Department? That’s our department!”
“Apart from Danny and Yuri, who else is so wealthy in the Language Department?”
“I’ve never heard of him!”
All the girls were surprised.
If he was really from the Language Department, then they would have to make sure that they dressed up beautifully in future. Otherwise, they might lose out on the chance to get together with this ordinary man!
“Ordinary Man, which class are you in? Do you have a girlfriend? If you don’t, I can introduce one to you!”
At this time, Xavia quickly walked towards Felicity as she spoke to the camera.
In fact, Xavia was also an extremely beautiful girl with long legs and pinkish rosy cheeks.
Xavia was also thinking that she should also start a live broadcast so she would be able to make some money and get herself a rich man so that she could prepare for her future.
Therefore, she could not help but asked the question out of curiosity.
Ordinary Man: “No, I don’t have a girlfriend.”
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
Bam! Bam! Bam!
He sent another five consecutive international cruise ships to Felicity’s live broadcast.
“Ahh!”
Felicity was so excited she could barely stand still.
All the other girls also took deep breaths at this time.
Felicity asked excitedly, “Ordinary Man, I can find you a girlfriend if you don’t have one. We’re all from the Language Department anyway! There are so many beautiful girls behind me, so why don’t you tell me who you’re interested in? I’m also available!”
In fact, Felicity was starting to regret doing this live broadcast in front of so many beautiful girls today.
She didn’t want to share her potential suitor with anyone else.
She also felt very uncomfortable sharing this wealthy guy with the other girls.
She glanced at this person’s account and she realized that he was actually a supreme member.
This meant that he had already recharged at least one hundred thousand dollars into his live broadcast account! That was the only reason why he had that verification icon on his profile.
If she could, Felicity really wanted to do a private live broadcast for Ordinary Man!
However, as she thought about it, Felicity felt that she could also gain a lot of benefits from having the other girls around on the live broadcast today.
“So, Ordinary Man, what do you think? Which one of these girls are you interested in?”
Felicity asked in a teasing manner.
“Does the girl standing behind you have a boyfriend?” Ordinary Man replied immediately.
The person standing behind Felicity at this time was none other than Xavia.
“Ahh, I…I…I…why don’t you make a guess, Ordinary Man?” Xavia replied in surprise.
She didn’t want to be so straightforward with her answer because she knew that Yuri was probably still watching the live broadcast.
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
Ordinary Man sent another five consecutive international cruise ships to Felicity’s live broadcast.
At this time, the management team for the live broadcast platform took notice of Felicity’s live broadcast because of the twenty consecutive international cruise ships.
Therefore, the management team quickly promoted Felicity’s live broadcast to the homepage. More and more of their university mates joined in the live broadcast at this time.
The number of viewers on Felicity’s live broadcast quickly exceeded more than five thousand viewers.
Ordinary Man then said, “I don’t want to guess. Why don’t you tell me the answer directly?”
Xavia took a deep breath and her face flushed red as she said, “I…”
She wanted to grit her teeth and say that she didn’t have a boyfriend.
Felicity was very jealous at this time and she quickly said, “Yes, she has a boyfriend! Her boyfriend is Yuri, who just sent me the rockets just now!”
Xavia was very annoyed. Did Felicity think she was that great? When she returned to her dormitory, she will look into starting her own live broadcast in the future! When that time comes, they’ll know who has a higher popularity then!
Hmm!
Ordinary Man: “Hahaha. He actually dares to show off when he’s just sending a rocket? By the way, the bag you’re holding in your hand seems to be worth a lot of money. I heard that it’s worth over fifty thousand dollars! I think that man who gave you the bag is the true hero!”
Felicity raised the Hermes bag in her hand before she said, “Wow! Ordinary Man, you can actually tell the value of this bag? You think that this bag is beautiful too?”
Felicity began to show off the bag in front of the camera.
At this time, Alice, who was standing next to Felicity, quickly barged in and said:
“Brother, I think you’ve misunderstood the situation. The person who gave our friend this bag isn’t a hero! He is just a pauper from your Language Department!”
Alice couldn’t take it when someone was actually praising Gerald for being a hero.
Therefore, she subconsciously stepped in to explain the truth!
“What if you find out in the future that the person who gave your friend that bag isn’t actually a pauper? What if you find out that he’s actually a very wealthy and powerful man? What would you do then? Don’t you think that we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover?”
Ordinary Man spoke up immediately.
Alice replied, “You sound like a very mature and stable man but I assure you that the person who gave my friend this bag is definitely a pauper! As for how he could afford to buy this bag, there’s actually a long story behind it!”
Alice continued chatting with this Ordinary Man through the live broadcast.
However, she did not know why she had a strange feeling in her heart.
She felt as though this man was very mature and stable. Even though he was very wealthy, he didn’t seem like a dull, ordinary second-generation rich kid.
Alice would love to have an opportunity to meet up with him.
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
“Ordinary Man sent you an international cruise ship!”
Ordinary man sent another five consecutive international cruise ships to Felicity without any hesitation.
Everyone was shocked.
“Ordinary Man, do you want to exchange numbers with me? I can give you a private live broadcast everyday if you want me to!” Felicity quickly said as she looked in the camera.
However, when Ordinary Man did not reply after a long time, she looked at the list of viewers and she realized that he had already gone offline!
Felicity felt very dejected. However, he had already given her twenty-five thousand dollars today!
Felicity could not help but feel a little excited.
At the same time, many of the girls had already downloaded the live broadcast software on their phones because they wanted to find out the details of the Ordinary Man in Felicity’s live broadcast so that they could chat privately with him.
This included Xavia…
At the male dormitory, Gerald could hear Danny from the dormitory next door cursing at the wealthy man who was showing off his wealth on Felicity’s live broadcast.
He tossed his cell phone aside with a bittersweet smile on his face.
Sure enough, anyone who had more money would always be the winner. He could do anything that he wanted to!
Hahaha…
Gerald was Ordinary Man.
When Gerald saw Yuri and Danny insulting and mocking his own roommates, he instantly recharged one hundred and fifty thousand dollars into his live broadcast account.
Sure enough, both of them shut up as soon as he appeared.
Gerald could hear Danny still cursing from the room next door, probably because his self-esteem was hurt.
In fact, Gerald was deliberately testing Xavia earlier on the live broadcast.
Just as he had expected, Xavia did not let him down at all. She was really a materialistic girl who was full of greed.
Gerald had completely given up on her!
Since he was already exhausted, Gerald decided to go back to sleep.
The next day, his roommates climbed over the wall at five o’clock in the morning to go back to their dormitory to sleep.
As they had to attend class today, they started running towards the lecture hall immediately after they were done with their breakfast.
“Gerald, stop right there!”
As Gerald was about to leave the cafeteria, he suddenly heard a girl’s voice stopping him from leaving!
[Chapter 15]
Gerald turned around as soon as he heard the girl’s voice.
He saw a tall and fair beautiful girl dressed in tight denim cropped trousers and a pair of high heels standing behind him at this time.
Her hands were on her hips as she glared at Gerald with a look of contempt on her face.
“Gerald, do you really think that it’s okay for you to rely on the student subsidy given to you by the student union when you could actually buy a luxury product worth fifty-five thousand dollars for yourself? Let me tell you something! We’re not going to include you in the school subsidy for next year!” the girl said to Gerald in a cold manner.
“Whitney, Gerald got the money as a reward for saving that young girl’s life! The young girl’s parents gave him the shopper’s card to thank him for his kindness. Why would you revoke Gerald’s subsidy? Do you really think you’re that great just because you’re the president of the student union?”
The president of the student union glared at Harper with a cold expression on her face without saying anything at all.
“What has this to do with you anyway? Don’t you know that the only reason why Gerald could actually receive a student subsidy is simply because of the student union? The reason why we fought so hard for his subsidy was because we knew he needed help! However, he actually bought a Hermes bag worth fifty-five thousand dollars for himself! Haven’t you heard the rumors that everyone is spreading around the school today?”
“You caused very serious damage to the student union because of your actions! This action alone is enough for us to revoke your subsidy!”
Whitney glanced at Gerald with disgust in her eyes. Everyone obviously knew about the Hermes bag because of Felicity’s live broadcast last night.
Moreover, Whitney was the president of the student union who was also one of the chancellor’s favorite students in the university.
Whitney Jenkins came from a very favorable family background and she was also very good at what she did. She could handle many difficult situations and since she was the president of the student union, she was in charge of almost all of the departments in the university.
All the lecturers and tutors from all the different departments were also very familiar with her.
She had the typical characteristics of a leader and therefore, Whitney did not care about someone who had no money or power such as Gerald.
However, she respected the fact that Gerald had always been very obedient and willing to do whatever she asked him to do. That was the reason why she always helped him obtain the subsidy every year.
The other poorer students in the university were all unwilling to act as a free laborer for Whitney just so they could obtain the subsidy.
This was also the reason why Harper disliked Whitney.
“Gerald, why don’t you tell me what we should do about this?” Whitney asked as she glared at Gerald.
Gerald frowned. To be honest, he no longer needed to rely on the subsidy given by the student union.
However, even though Whitney looked down on him, the subsidy he had received in the past was due to her efforts.
Gerald asked, “So, what do you want from me?”
“Alright then. Since you’re asking, I’ll make sure that you can continue receiving the subsidy if you do something for me. If you do it well, I’ll forgive you for the damage that you’ve done to the reputation of the student union!”
Whitney was referring to the fact that everyone was scolding Gerald and calling him a fool because he used the shopper’s card to buy a bag.
Whitney was filled with hatred as she thought about it.
How could this pauper be so lucky? Why would anyone give him a Universal Global Supreme Shopper’s Card just like that?
Moreover, Gerald had even given someone else the fifty-five thousand dollar Hermes bag as a birthday present!
Fifty-five thousand dollars!
If he gave it to her, she would be so much happier.
However, Gerald did not say anything to her and he did not even think of her at all! So, Whitney decided to teach him a lesson by using the subsidy as a bargaining chip.
That fool!
“What do you want me to do for you?” Gerald asked with a calm expression on his face.
“It’s actually very simple. The student union will be holding a big event next week and we need someone to clean the venue up. Therefore, I want you to clean up the auditorium for us! If you do that, I’ll continue helping you to apply for your subsidy next year! Don’t you say that I’m not looking out for you, Gerald. I think you should just skip class today. I’ve already prepared a letter for you!”
Whitney said as she threw the fake letter at Gerald. After that, she turned around and walked away in her high heels.
“Damn it! That woman is such a bully!”
Harper cursed out loud immediately.
Gerald’s roommate, Benjamin was also very furious at this time.
“Don’t worry, Gerald. I think you shouldn’t clean up the auditorium. Do you know how big the auditorium is? How can Gerald possibly clean up the venue on his own? Let’s just head to class now.”
He patted Gerald gently on his shoulder.
“But what is going to happen to Gerald’s subsidy then?”
Gerald’s roommates were a little worried for him.
After thinking for a short while, Harper finally clapped his hands:
“It’s okay! Why don’t we head to the auditorium together to help Gerald clean up the venue? Since there are so many of us, we will be able to do it even more quickly.”
“Alright then! That sounds like a good idea!”
Gerald’s roommates nodded in unison.
Gerald felt warmth in his heart.
In fact, even though Gerald had suffered so much humiliation in university for the past three years, he was still very optimistic.
This was because he had managed to meet a bunch of people he could call his brothers because of his poverty.
These were brothers who really thought of what was best for him.
However, Gerald could never allow them to get punished along with him.
To be honest, Gerald really wanted to tell them that he was actually a second-generation rich kid.
However, Gerald was afraid that their friendship would come to an end as soon as he told them the truth about himself.
Gerald felt that their friendship and concern was the true wealth to him and he didn’t want to lose that!
“Forget it. I’ll clean up the venue on my own. It wouldn’t be the first time that I’ll be cleaning up the auditorium all by myself anyway. Moreover, all of you won’t be as skillful as I am and I think you won’t be able to help out much even if you did come with me!”
After thinking about it, Gerald decided not to reveal his identity yet.
Therefore, he could only endure this for the time being.
After that, Gerald headed to the auditorium by himself.
“Gerald, why did you take so long to come here? Do you really think you’re that great just because you bought a new bag?”
Whitney started insulting Gerald as soon as he stepped into the auditorium.
“Hahaha!”
Everyone who were rehearsing for the upcoming event in the auditorium burst out in laughter as soon as they heard Whitney’s words.
This was because they would be putting up a performance next week.
Therefore, Whitney decided to ask the team from the student union department to rehearse for their performance here.
“Don’t say that! After all, he could afford to buy a bag worth fifty-five thousand dollars! How can we even be compared to him?”
“Yes, you better be careful when you speak, president! Otherwise, Gerald might actually turn out to be a wealthy and powerful man who can throw money at your face!”
The group of girls looked at Gerald as they laughed out loud.
Moreover, the group of boys were staring at Gerald with an envious expression on their faces.
In fact, they were all jealous. They were jealous of Gerald’s luck.
If they had fifty five-thousand dollars, they could buy the bag and give it to their president, Whitney, instead!
Gerald turned a deaf ear to them and he did not even bother to reply at all.
After that, he picked up a broom as he prepared to clean up the mess that they had left behind.
“Go away! Do you really think you’re a wealthy and powerful man now?”
At this time, a tall and muscular boy came over as he pushed Gerald aside in a harsh manner.
Gerald nearly fell down because of him.
Of course, Gerald knew who the boy was. His name was Victor Wright and he was the vice president of the student union and also the captain of the university’s basketball team.
His family specialized in trade and he was also very rich.
He also contributed a fair share to all of the humiliation that Gerald had suffered in his three years of university life.
“Victor! Why are you here?”
Whitney was very surprised and cheered up as soon as she saw Victor.
This was because Victor was the type of guy that Whitney was interested in. He was not only tall, handsome, and wealthy, but he was also a very good basketball player.
He was the type of boy that girls would fall head over heels in love with.
At the same time, many girls from the performing team looked at Victor as they blushed slightly.
“Oh! I’m here because I went out early to modify my car today,” Victor replied as he took a sip of water.
“Car? What? Victor, did you buy a car?”
Some of the girls asked in surprise.
“Hahaha. Yes, I bought an Audi A6 just to use it for fun!” Victor replied as he chuckled.
“Wow!”
All the beautiful girls were very impressed at this time
Even Whitney was slightly moved when she heard his words. “Is your car domestic or imported?”
In fact, it did not matter whether the car was domestic or imported because an Audi A6 was a very powerful car.
“Imported! My dad’s friend helped me to get it for one hundred thousand dollars cheaper! Hahaha,” Victor replied as he smiled.
At this time, there was a strange expression on Whitney’s face.
Moreover, Gerald, who was sweeping the floor, couldn’t help eavesdropping on their conversation when he heard that they were talking about cars.
Gerald had always dreamt of owning his own car.
He did not care about the brand of type of car as long as it was a car!
Why was this his dream? This was because in the past, Gerald would never have been able to afford to buy a car at all.
Therefore, he was very curious as he listened to their discussion.
He was very distracted at this time.
He didn’t even realize that his broom was sweeping over a girl’s feet as she sat on the rostrum.
“Ahh!”
Gerald only realized what he had done when the girl screamed out loud.
