Chapter 1059


    Laying on the ground weakly, Joey stared at the taxi driver who walked towards him with his


    fearsome look. His arrogant expression when he threatened the driver had long diminished. 1


    He grimaced in despair and pleaded, "Boss, I just went bankrupt, I am penniless and I have a lot of


    debts! And I was beaten up too! Please, I really have no money to pay you, please let me go!" 1


    The driver growled furiously, "Do you think you’re the only one with a debt?! Do you think I would


    still drive a taxi if I were rich? Do you think that forty-five dors is easy money? It can fill my


    stomach for two days, for f*ck’s sake! Hurry up and pay me!" 1


    Joey wailed in desperation, "Boss, I really have no money nor any valuables on me. Please have


    mercy and let me go!" 5


    "Argh, drop the act! I''ll call the police if you don''t pay u p!"


    Joey struggled to get on his knees and cried, "Boss, I really don’t have any money even if you want


    to kill m e right now! Please, I beg you, please let me go! Is it not enough that I’m bowing to you?


    Please see me as your son who bows his head to you during Christmas! Like my father, you still


    have to give me a present, don''t you?" 8


    The driver trembled with anger, shocking to see such a shameless person. "You...why are you so


    shameless? Do you have no parents? What will your parents feel if they know you bow your head to


    a stranger like a servant just for forty-five dors?"


    Joey sobbed, "Frankly, I''ve been an orphan since I was a child. I grew up in an orphanage. After


    years of hard work, I managed to save a hundred and twenty thousand dors, but I was cheated


    by my friend from the orphanage. That b*stard had not only defrauded m y savings but he had also


    lured me to take a five hundred thousand dor loan from various online money lender tforms.


    I''m at a dead end now..." 1


    The driver was very shocked since Joey seemed to be genuinely sad. "What the heck? Why are


    there such unlucky people in a prosperous era like this?"

    He shook his head, feeling sorry for Joey, and deciding not to force him anymore. "Alright, kid, since


    you are so pitiful, I''ll let you slip this time! Consider yourself lucky to have a free ride today." 2


    Joey kowtowed again and said gratefully, "Thank you, you''re such an angel, you''re my reincarnated


    father!" 7


    Then, he raised his head and pleaded, "Anyway, since you''ve already given me a free ride, could


    you give me fifty dors, please? I need some money for lunch." 6


    The taxi driver rolled his eyes in great dismay. He kicked him away and cursed, "God d*mn it! Are


    you f* eking serious? How could you say such a shameless thing? The audacity! It’s no wonder they


    say ''chickens havee home to roost''!" s


    He walked back to his taxi, started the car, and left.


    Joey struggled to get up from the floor. He muttered to himself while patting the dust off his body,


    "Well, despite the misfortune shenanigans, I ultimately saved forty-five dors!" 5


    Joey''s mood was uplifted slightly after taking advantage of the taxi driver. 4


    He limped to his girlfriend’s house, thinking that the first thing he must do when he saw his girlfriend


    was t o throw himself into her embrace and cry. 7


    His girlfriend lived in a shantytown in the city, which was an illegal housing area in a dire and


    dpidated condition.


    Despite its dire conditions, Joey saw it as a gold mine. It was because the government was


    managing the town''s reconstruction and was demolishing the illegal housing area. The residents of


    the demolished house would be given a house aspensation and sometimes, they would even


    be given two to three houses at a time. 6


    This was also why he was eager to marry his girlfriend soon. He hoped that he could be their live-in


    son-inw and share some of the profits after the demolition.
