Chapter 514: Chapter 514: Woman, I Can’t Grow Up to Be Rich Anymore
He kicked the pebble under his foot and grew more lancholic, muttering, “Woman, I feel like I won’t be able to beco a rich person in the future.”
Chi Enen watched his expression attentively. Who had put down her Baby Chi? Wasn’t this kid always full of grandeur, saying that when he grew up, he would beco very rich, and take her to enjoy all kinds of luxuries and flying? His reaction today was so unlike him.
Chi Enen spoke with a light tone, “I don’t feel that way, I’ve always thought that my baby Chi will grow up to be soone really impressive.”
She declared with conviction, but Chi Jingchen’s nose suddenly felt sour; he quickly turned his head away, his eyes turning red, “Impressive people don’t fail, and I’ve failed, so I definitely can’t beco an impressive person anymore.”
The Neighbor Old Wang had told him that the Sanhui Stocks he favored not only would not rebound, but they would keep falling until they were suspended from trading. And the Sanhui Group he was optimistic about would go bankrupt.
He was also criticized for being short-sighted, only looking at short-term benefits, which wouldn’t lead to making a lot of money. He was told he was impetuous and not sensitive enough to numbers.
He knew The Neighbor Old Wang was right, but his heart still felt uncomfortable.
That feeling was like being soone who’d always stood at the peak and then one day suddenly slipping and falling. And being laughed at on top of that.
Since he was little, he had never failed at anything.
In school he was the child king, all the adults outside would praise him for being smart, even his initial foray into stocks had been smooth sailing.
Then suddenly soone told him he had failed, and it was a serious blunder; Baby Chi was a bit unable to accept it.
No matter how precocious he was, he was only five years old. A five-year-old child didn’t have an incredible capacity to withstand psychological stress. When sothing happened, his first reaction was definitely to find his mother and cry. Even if Baby Chi was a genius, deep down he was still a five-year-old kid, and his first reaction was also to seek out Chi Enen for comfort. But he didn’t want Chi Enen to know he had made the wrong investnt in stocks, afraid she would be disappointed in him. Yet, he wanted to cry to her and seek consolation.
“Woman, do you think The Neighbor Old Wang has ever failed?” As he said this, he lowered his head again and muttered morosely, “He’s so impressive, he probably has never failed, right?”
Chi Enen paused, then said without hesitation, “Of course he has failed. Who has never failed? If soone actually never fails at anything, they wouldn’t be human. Look at Sun Wukong, he was impressive, right? But he was trapped under the Five Finger Mountain by the Buddha for five hundred years. And those monsters on the journey to the West, many of them were the mounts of immortals, which shows even immortals have their monts of negligence.”
“Your father must have failed too.”
Chi Enen wasn’t just trying to comfort him when she said that; she truly felt that Li Beijue also managed to beco who he is today step by step through a lot of experiences.
Otherwise, how could he explain the cabin he took her to climb to?
How could he explain the hot-air balloon in the wooden house?
“Baby, tigers are impressive, right? Lions are impressive, right? Are crocodiles and elephants impressive? But look at them when they’re young, they still need protection from others. They can’t even catch a wild chicken. Only when they grow up and learn the skill of hunting do they beco kings of their domain.”
“So The Neighbor Old Wang was young once? I thought he had always been this impressive.” Chi Jingchen’s heart felt much more comfortable, a smile appeared on his face, his eyes blinked, and he suddenly looked at her and said, “Woman, The Neighbor Old Wang said you’re pregnant, does that an you’re going to have a little brother or sister for ?”
