Gerald Crawford: The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 392

After they had chatted over the phone, Gerald suddenly remembered his dad's advice to visit his comrade from the army in Serene County. He had been back for more than a week and he had long forgotten about it.

Gerald had nothing else to do at present. He then bought some gifts and headed to the upper-class area of Serene County to visit Mr. Willie Jung.

The relationship between their families, as mentioned earlier, had drifted apart quite a bit after several incidents that went on in the later stage. But his dad was a very sentimental man.

He did not believe that it happened, but the reality remains. As a person, how could one have no humane feelings at all?

Gerald remembered the cold treatment from the Jung Family when his dad brought him along to beg them so he could go to high school six years ago. Gerald understood his dad's feelings.

But this time round, he was alone, and he came here with a different identity!

He wondered if he would face the same treatment as before...

As he was deep in thought, he realized he arrived at their house, solely based on the directions from his memories.

He knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

The door opened, and he was greeted by a middle-aged lady at the door.

Gerald knew the middle-aged woman, her name was Leia Tolbert, and Gerald referred to her as Aunt Leia. She was Willie Jung's wife, and she was quite the influential leader in a reputable bank. "Hello Aunt Leia, do you remember me? My name is Gerald, and I've visited your house with my dad before!"

"Ooh, I remember! Aren't you the son of Willie's friend, Dylan Crawford? I haven't seen you for years, you've grown up so much! Come on in!"

She glanced at the things Gerald brought to her house.

Leia was very polite and friendly towards Gerald.

To her, this was an all-too-familiar scene. Judging by Gerald's appearance, she knew he was here to ask for a favor.

She had already made plans on how she would refuse him later.

But it would be ill-mannered and rude to do it now.

They entered the living room.

Gerald saw a middle-aged man reading the newspaper on the sofa with his legs crossed.

He gave off a vibe as though he was an important director.

He was Willie Jung, whom Gerald referred to as Uncle Jung. He worked as a director in the Development Bureau.

They were a family of government officials.

"Hello, Uncle Jung!"

Gerald had no idea why after so many years, he was still quite constrained to meet them again.

"Oh, it's Gerald Crawford, it's been years since we've met. Right, I heard that your father left the country to make money to pay off his debts?" Willie Jung put down the newspaper and quipped.

"Hmm, yeah something like that!"

Gerald chuckled.

"Didn't you just graduate from college this year? What course did you study?"

Willie asked, blowing gently on his tea a few times.

"I studied literature, English language as well as codification!"

"Ahem, this major is pretty unpopular, but then again, jobs are pretty easy to arrange. By the way, have you found a job yet?"

Willie asked.

"Not yet Uncle Jung! I came this time to pay you a special visit, and my father specifically instructed me..."

"By the way, honey, don't you have an appointment this afternoon?"

Leia interjected their conversation.

"Oh right, I have got an appointment! It's a pretty urgent one. Gerald, how about you stay here for lunch?"

Willie smiled.

Gerald was not stupid. From what Willie and Leia said earlier, he knew that they thought he was here to beg them to pull some strings for him to get a job as soon as Gerald told them he was here to pay them a special visit.

They were putting on an act to try to get him out of their house.

It seems that they did not treat Gerald's family as friends. If he were to go back and tell his dad about the incident, his dad would've probably given up on the friendship.

In the middle of the conversation, Gerald stood up and was about to leave.

Just then, a girl breezed down from the second floor of the house. She wore on headphones, and she was pretty cute.

"Mom, my classmates will be coming to our house for lunch later, is the cooking done? Do you need my help?"

The girl said with a smile.

Suddenly, she turned and saw Gerald, her gaze was fixed on him, "Mom, who is he?"
