Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 1218

After waving his hand to drive everyone away, Gerald made sure he parked his car properly while wondering to

himself what was wrong with today’s society.

So what if one was rich? If everything could be resolved with money, then Gerald wouldn’t have to continue

searching like this.

Shaking the thought off, Gerald then looked at the campus building before heading in its direction to continue his

search for a woman with a strong yin physique.

What happened earlier was simply a small episode, and Gerald’s thoughts were soon replaced with a slight

nostalgia as he stepped into the campus again after graduating for over two years.

As the saying went, life was a circle that went round and round. Regardless of whether a person was rich or poor,

they would always end up returning to where they came from.

True to that saying’s words, all of this had started in this very university. After all, Gerald had first been told that he

was the heir of the Crawford family while he was studying here. What more, Gerald had also met the love of his life

on this very campus.

Even the milk tea shop at the entrance of the campus was still there, and the owner of that shop was still the same

person.

Looking at the shop, he recalled how Mila had forgotten to bring her wallet out with her when she was buying some

milk tea back then… Him helping her pay for it was their very first encounter…

Back then, his relationship with Mila had been both pure and innocent… There weren’t any earth-shattering or

bitter moments in their relationship at all. Just a simple, ‘I love you and you love me’ relationship… Of course, good

things never tended to last.

From the moment he had met her, Gerald had never wanted to be the heir of the Crawford family. If he could

choose, he would’ve very much preferred to remain poor. After all, Mila didn’t despise him regardless of his wealth.

After graduating university, both of them could have continued living together happily. After getting jobs and

collecting enough money, they could’ve even opened a milk tea shop together. By that point, they would’ve surely

earned enough to get married and start a beautiful family together… All could’ve gone so perfectly…

Thinking about it, Gerald couldn’t help but smile slightly bitterly. Then again, there was no way that the past him

would’ve been able to predict that all this would happen…

As he continued being deep in thought, he suddenly heard a voice call out, “Hey there, handsome! You’ve been

standing all dazed there for a good five minutes, you know? Are you alright?”

Turning to look at who had called him, Gerald was greeted by the sight of a smiling girl with a ponytail hairstyle who

was currently waving at him.

Caught off guard by her sudden question, Gerald only managed to say, “…Uh… Yeah. You… need something from

me?”

Hearing that, the girl simply laughed aloud. How silly of him to be standing there in a daze in broad daylight… She

wondered what he could possibly be thinking of…

“…Well, my roommates and I were planning to take pictures together by the lake, you see… I was looking for

someone who could help photograph us! Since you’re the first person I’ve bumped into while searching around, I

wonder if you’d be willing to take our pictures for us, handsome?” asked the girl—who had already been interested

in Gerald when she first saw him from a distance—as she held out her camera to him. It was undeniable, after all,

that Gerald had a charming appearance.

“…Oh. I… Sure I guess…” replied Gerald as he took the camera from her. Seeing that it wasn’t a particularly

difficult request to begin with, Gerald found it hard to turn her down.

“Alright! Also, please be careful with that. It’s a very expensive camera! Think you know how to operate it?” asked

the girl who now realized that Gerald was dressed in rather ordinary clothing. With that in mind, she couldn’t help

but worry that he would accidentally get it to malfunction if he truly had no idea how to use it.

“Don’t worry, I do!” replied Gerald with a simple nod.

Meanwhile, six girls could be heard chattering away at the side of the lake. Since they were all about to head into

their second year of university and the weather looked good today, all of them had agreed to come out to take

pictures together. They wanted to make sure that they captured sufficient memories of their first year in university.

While there were many people strolling around the lake, all of them seemed to be couples, and many were even

acting rather intimately by hugging each other in public. Due to that, the girls felt that it would be a little too

awkward for them to ask them for their help.

“…Speaking of which, where the hell is Yulisa? From her message earlier, she told me that she’s already found

someone to photograph us! What’s taking her so long…?”

“Speak of the devil! There they are now! Hey, look at the guy she brought along. He looks rather handsome, no?”

said another girl as she giggled.

“Handsome? Him? Hah! I think he looks rather ordinary!” replied a third girl as she shook her head.

“That’s quite enough. What are you girls even thinking? Remember, he’s being kind enough to help us take our

pictures so we should be courteous and polite to him!” said a long-haired girl—who was standing right in the middle

of the group—with a smile.
