A dilapidated residential building.
A young man in casual clothes turned the key and opened the rusty iron door. What followed was a moldy smell.
The first thing he saw was a rickety chair and a small table in the middle of the living room. Apart from the necessities of life, there was nothing else.
He walked over to his laptop and pressed the power button.

Ever since his mother passed away, Lu Ming had been alone.
He had depleted his modest savings just to bury his mother. If his colleague who was hired at the same on-campus job fair had not taken pity on him, he might not even have a place to stay.
So he was usually very frugal. Other than going to work, he basically did not go out and lived a quiet life.
He exhaled and picked up a photo beside the computer.
The woman in the photo was smiling like a flower as she held the child’s hand. The man not far away waved at them.
He was Lu Ming’s father—Lu Yaohua.
They were originally a happy family. Although their household circumstances were not good, they were very happy.
His parents would do their best to satisfy whatever he wanted.
However, this life did not last long. His father, Lu Yaohua, was rarely coming home.
Initially, he and his mother did not suspect anything at all. After all, his father’s career was taking off at the time.
Later, when their family was slightly better off, Lu Yaohua started wearing tailored suits. They had not realized it back then. He was just an ordinary senior executive. Why would he buy such expensive clothes?

It was not until one day when their mother saw Lu Yaohua coaxing another woman that they realized that he had been spending time with this woman when he was supposedly working overtime and socializing.

He watched his usually gentle mother become hysterical, while his father said defensively, “This is just my client. Don’t overthink it.”
But not long after, Lu Yaohua firmly filed for divorce on the grounds that his mother was not worthy of him.
No matter what his mother said, Lu Yaohua did not relent.
In the end, their marriage was destroyed.
Lu Ming could never forget the smug look on Lu Yaohua’s face that day.
Lu Yaohua even engaged a lawyer, which resulted in the court ruling that absolved him of obligations to pay alimony and child support.

Consequently, his mother’s health, which was not good to begin with, broke down completely!
Not long after, Lu Yaohua married that woman.
Perhaps Lu Yaohua and that woman were really just clients in the beginning, but it was undeniable that after Lu Yaohua became rich, he abandoned them.
In order to survive, Lu Ming had no choice but to do odd jobs for some evil bosses. Sometimes, he did not get paid and the other party even threatened him with the fact that he was underaged.

He scrimped and saved to buy medicine for his mother, but her health was not improving.
The place they were living in became more rundown. In the end, they could only build a shed as their home. However, whenever it rained, the place would leak.
