Chapter 4335: The Other Side 304

Gong Jies face stiffened at that, and his expression turned cold. His gaze settled on the actor, and he set down his teacup. Hua Jin realized at once that he had gone overboard with his remark. He bit his lip, unsure how to explain.

Gong Jie placed his teacup on the table and smiled.

Youre wrong.

Eh?

On the contrary, I have more experience with such gaps than you. Gong Jie raised his eyes and looked at the actor. Ive seen people in South Africa who are as extravagant as aristocrats, who drive luxury cars costing millions and live in mansions costing tens of millions. Across the street from them, there are slums where people cannot afford to turn a light on at night. In The Philippines, Ive seen 6-year-old children scavenging the murky, dirty gutters with their older siblings. Even if it means choking on a few mouthfuls of dirty, bacteria infested water, they work hard to scoop up a few plastic bottles to make ends meet. For them, the most extravagant luxury meal is sc.r.a.ps and leftovers from ordinary people. Ive also seen refugees who lived amidst the crossfires of war, having to pay gangs of corrupt regimes with their blood. Well, youre right. Life is unfair, this is what it really is. Its ridiculous, but most people wouldnt dare laugh at it.

Hua Jin froze.

Do you know what fate is? Gong Jie smiled. You cant have what you want, but what you get isnt what you want. You think those rich kids are born to enjoy life? Yes, they do, but at the same time, theyre suffering.

They enjoyed things in life that ordinary people could not hope for, but also bear what ordinary people would not dare to bear.

Gong Jie had been destined for an extraordinary life since he was born. After returning to the Gong family, he enjoyed Gong Shaoyings appreciation and began to stand out. His extraordinary talent allowed him an irreplaceable position in the Gong family. However, with his talent, even if he did not return to the Gong family, he would s.h.i.+ne. Any strong and outstanding seed would quietly break through the soil and bloom into a gorgeous flower.

Just like Youyou. His childhood environment could not have been more ordinary, but his life was destined to be anything but ordinary!

Exactly.

What a ridiculous thing fate is. But most people would not dare laugh at it.

Now that you have it, cherish it.

The actor was stunned for the longest time after Gong Jies speech. He hadnt expected such philosophical words. If one savored it carefully, one could understand the meaning behind it.

Sorry The actor sighed. I was too extreme.

Its not really a matter of being extreme. Gong Jie smiled. Its just that you cant judge yourself harshly for what youve gotten. If fate is a cage, then everyones in chains. Since that was the case, he might as well live life the way he wanted.

Hua Jin laughed bitterly at that. Its hard to imagine that you said those words.

Gong Jie glanced at him with a mocking expression in his handsome eyes .

If I could, Id like my life to be more ordinary.

How ordinary do you want to be?

Gong Jies life was destined to be extraordinary.

The actor rested his chin on his hand, puzzled. If ones life is too ordinary, it can become exhausting. What do you imagine ordinary people are like?

Maybe like you.

Me?
