Chapter: 3221

"What about me?"

"The Xiao family group no longer exists. After I recover, what can I do?"

"I don't have any professional skills or expertise, nor did I ever look for a job outside, nor do I even have a decent resume to present myself with. What kind of work will I find? What kind of job?"

"Will I be eliminated by society like this?"

"And at my age now, I still haven't found anyone. If I can't even find a decent job, how will I ever find someone? It'll be just like being a bachelor forever, and when I'm 40, it'll be too late to turn things around......"

Xiao Hai Long thought more and more despondently, until he reached the point of utter despair. Then, unable to control himself, he burst into tears, sobbing and wailing: "What will I do with my future then?"

"One side, Xiao Changqian saw Xiao Hailong in this state and couldn't help but sigh. He said, 'Alright, stop talking about these things. Your mom's thing from before was indeed our mistake. Back then, we let Ma Ruan lose so much money at the poker table. If this matter really goes to the police station, then the huge implicated amount would be enough for me and your mom to get locked up together. So, in the end, Ye Chen also gave us some room to maneuver...'"

He finished speaking, looking at Xiao Hailong and consoling him. "Hey, Hailong, don't cry like a kid anymore. After you're physically well, go find a real job. If not, we can even send someone to deliver packages or take out food, earning several thousand a month if we're willing to work hard. We'll always be able to find a way to live!"

Xiao Hailong nodded with tears.

Xiao Changqian then said, "Later on, you should save some money yourself, Dad will help you save some too, and let your sister-in-law help out as well. Pool together tens of thousands in dowry, and I'll ask someone to say a good wife for you, no matter what. It can at least leave us with an heir!"

Xiao Changqian's words didn't truly console Xiao Hailong.

Instead, they were too realistic all of a sudden, filling Xiao Hailong with hopelessness about his future life.

He had always thought highly of himself, always believing that he would definitely become a big shot in the future, even marrying someone as perfect as Dong Ruolin. He was determined to pursue her and become the favored son-in-law of the Dong family.

However, now that his dad's words made him realize that he would have no connection with someone like Dong Ruolin in the future.

His own future was probably just a blue-collar worker who struggled to make ends meet, and it was even harder for him to find a compatible partner. He might even need to offer a high dowry to marry back home.

According to this blueprint, Xiao Hailong felt that his future was as bleak as nothingness, like falling into a black hole.

So he cried even more fiercely.

He cried so much that Xiao Changqian's heart also felt extremely painful.

He really wanted to help his son, but he knew that his own future wouldn't be any easier than his son's.

The only good thing was that he had already gotten married and had two children. If Xiao Hailong didn't work hard, he might not even get married in the future.

So he couldn't help but lament, feeling utterly defeated.

Xiao Shangqian sensed their extreme emotional suppression and rubbed his temples before saying, "I'll go cook dinner now."

After speaking, he quickly walked out of the bedroom like a rabbit.

Originally, she still wanted to find an opportunity to return the waist belt to Li Cheng's mailbox at his doorstep. However, thinking about her current state of despair, a strong sense of inferiority welled up inside her.

After some thought, she decided that tomorrow she would go back to the store and return the waist belt, from now on working hard to earn money in a straightforward manner. JrNovels.com
