Of course someone like Tom has high self-esteem since childhood, so how could he possibly borrow money from passers-by!
He returned to the taxi with a dull expression on his face, took out his cell phone and started calling.
There are so many brothers, there will always be a savior!
Five minutes later, Tom was struck by a cruel, utterly astonishing reality.
Is this an illusion?!
None of his calls connected!
Don't they even care about him?!
"Sir, are you going to pay the fare?" At this time, the driver who had been waiting for a long time had no patience.
Tom was dazed when he heard her insistence!
Resigned, he nervously dialed the last number!
Unexpectedly, the call to Vivi apparently worked.
Tom almost had tears in his eyes, and after that, he waved his hand and asked the driver to take him to Vivi's apartment.
In short, this desperate young master can only go to Vivi for help first!
After all, he couldn't even pay his taxi fare now!
It would be too embarrassing if he went to his brothers' house just to ask them for money!
After twenty minutes, as the car drove into the apartment complex, Tom stretched his neck from the back seat and looked around, and finally saw a familiar figure.
Vivi didn't know how long she had been waiting downstairs, but her ears were frozen red.
Seeing a taxi stop in front of her, she quickly stepped forward and paid 250,000 for the fare!
By this time, it was nearing six in the afternoon.
Tom was standing there with his head down, feeling he was about to cry!
Vivi looked at him in bewilderment, and since it was too cold outside, she led him to the corridor.
Today might be the day that Tom was saved by Vivi!
Not long after, the two returned to Vivi's warm apartment.
Tom took off his shoes without saying a word, and saw yellow house slippers placed in the corner. He didn't like yellow, so he walked into the living room without wearing it.
Vivi stood in the hallway looking at his somewhat gloomy figure. Maybe it's just Tom's exaggeration, but his situation would look perfect with sad music.
After a while, she walked over to Tom who was sitting in front of the sofa. With her elbows resting on her knees, Vivi couldn't help but hesitantly ask, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"
The two of them had only been apart for a few hours. What happened to him that he looked soulless now?
Hearing the voice, Tom lifted his head slightly and ran into Vivi's suspicious gaze. After three seconds of contemplation, he said dryly, "My family is broke!"
Vivi was taken aback. "Really?"
Tom smiled faintly, and seemed to have taken a big hit. "I'm dead serious..."
What? His family went bankrupt?!
Even the doorman under his company dared to go against him!
Vivi was stunned in disbelief. After a while, she looked at Tom again, trying to see some clues from his expression!
After all, he is a nosy person, maybe this is one of his jokes!
However, under her watchful eye, Tom was also looking at her unabashedly.
She didn't know what to call this feeling, but Vivi suddenly felt a little pain in her heart.
The arrogant Tom Wibowo turns into despair when his family goes bankrupt.
It seems that this news is real!
Vivi looked at the listless Tom, bit the corner of her mouth, and gently comforted him. "It's okay, failure in business is very common. Besides, this failure of yours is only temporary. If you work hard from now on, you might be able to come back!"
Hearing Vivi's consolation, Tom was not happy. Instead, he felt sadder.
He looked out the window with bloodshot eyes like a sad child, unwilling to let Vivi see his fragile side.
He was a young master from a rich family, and now he couldn't even pay the taxi fare!
His father took all of his money, and his brothers could not be reached. This unexpected change causes his mentality to collapse.
But seriously, who has never experienced adversity in his life?
He squeezed the corners of his mouth, limping toward the window sill in Vivi's worried gaze. "You got any food? I'm hungry!"
At this time, Tom bent down to support the window sill and said in a hoarse voice.
With his back to Vivi, his eye sockets gradually turned red.
Vivi could hear his sobbing voice. She knew that Tom was sad, so she sighed. "I'm going to cook now, you... don't stand for too long, your legs won't hold out later!"
Hearing footsteps behind him, Tom looked back along his shoulders. Vivi's advice echoed in his ears, making him want to cry more!
Sure enough, true love seems to be found in times of trouble!
After a while, the smell of food wafted from the kitchen.
After washing the cooking utensils, Vivi took off her apron and returned to the living room. "Let's eat!"
At this moment, Tom, who was still staring in front of the window sill, stood up straight. He then walked two steps forward before finally being supported by Vivi.
"Are your legs okay? Didn't I tell you not to stand for too long?"
Tom shook his head silently, his eyes also lost sight.
Two plates of stir-fried vegetables and rice were already on the table.
Lamb and scrambled eggs with cucumber she made were commoners' meals.
Vivi glanced at Tom on the side, feeling worried he wouldn't like it. So she explained, "I was afraid you were too hungry so I just made two quick stir-fries. If you don't like it, I'll put it in the fridge…"
"I like it!"
Tom faintly said then sat down and picked up his plate before he started moving the spoon.
Never mind, he couldn't even afford a bottle of mineral water right now. So he doesn't have the right to be picky!
Vivi looked at Tom's saddened face, and her heart ached even more.
The arrogant and spoiled Tom… because of the change in his family, has turned into a helpless little puppy!
Vivi sighed helplessly, and didn't know if Tom could get out of this hit!
The two of them ate dinner quietly.
Tom refused to talk, and Vivi didn't bother him.
Until he ate all the food, Tom looked to the opposite side and asked less confidently, "Can I sleep in here tonight?"
Vivi wanted to refuse, but she saw his sad expression and she thought hard for a while. In the end, she nodded and agreed. "Alright, the second bedroom is usually empty, I'll go and clean it later!"
"No need to clean, I can sleep on the floor!"
Tom didn't dare ask for too much. He was now a penniless poor kid, so if he were being picky, Vivi would definitely kick him out and he'd end up sleeping on the street!
That night, Tom slept in Vivi's apartment.
Before eight o'clock at night, he sat alone at the head of the bed, his eyes filled with confusion.
What should he do in the future?!
This proved that his father had indeed cut the cord!
After years of prosperous life, he had never worried about his livelihood.
The Wibowo family no longer cared about him, and his brothers must have been ordered by his father not to help!
Survival would therefore be the first test Tom faced in his lifetime.
