Chapter 96 Stop Interfering with My Life

• "I was able to sustain myself with the stall for more than a year but still had a hundred thousand to pay in debt. Now, my store is gone because I tried to save that girl. Now that I've gotten on the bad side of those gangsters, I can't operate my stall anymore. I don't care if you think I'm a joke. I'm broke as hell. I can't even afford to feed myself, less say pay off my debt. The money I used to pay for dinner and your ride home was my half-day wage from yesterday. Do you think I'm torturing myself? If I had the choice, I wouldn't wear these rags and let others look down on me. I wouldn't be endangering my life on those high scaffolds, either. Why do you think I have to do these? It's because I didn't graduate from university or have a degree. I've never worked at any corporate companies and have no work experience. I can't even use the only skill I have because my stall is gone. What else can I do besides manual labor?"
• "Mia, I told you a long time ago; you and me are different people. We live in different worlds. You don't need to look at me the way you perceive your world. You may think I'm doing these to hurt you in revenge, but you're wrong. I don't have the intention or energy to do that. I need to survive before I can think of taking revenge. Mia, I admit; I hate you, but I have no intention of taking revenge. I just want to survive, nothing more," Ben told Mia solemnly.
• "Sorry… I'm so sorry…" Mia apologized in tears.
