Ready

The miserable taxi driver!

At this moment, the atmosphere inside the car was somewhat oppressive, seemingly silent, yet deafening.

Looking at the passionate scene on the central console, both of them felt as if a million alpacas were galloping through their hearts.

Lin Yuan and the Photographer exchanged glances, realizing they had to say something; otherwise, this trip today might turn into a hearse ride!

“Uh, Big Brother Driver... how about we get off here? You should hurry home.”

The Photographer quickly nodded in agreement: “Yes, yes, yes! We’ll still pay you, we won’t shortchange you.”

Who would have thought the driver would wipe away his tears and firmly shake his head: “No, since I picked you up, I have an obligation to take you to your destination.”

Lin Yuan instantly looked crestfallen, like an eggplant hit by frost, and quickly explained: “No need, really no need, we appreciate the thought.”

“Wuwu~~ I’m already so miserable, and you still want to get off and not let me earn money, how can you bear it?! Forget it, forget it, there’s no point in living anyway, so be it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yuan clearly felt the car’s speed increase by several gears.

In an instant, both of their faces turned pale.

Holy cow!

Lin Yuan quickly tried to reassure him again: “No, no, no, we’re not getting off, we’ll just stay in your car, not going anywhere, just drive slower.”

The Photographer also nodded in cooperation.

This time, they were truly panicked; judging by the driver’s demeanor, he seemed capable of making extreme moves at any moment.

One should know that the roads were currently full of traffic, and most people’s car speeds were between 40 and 60 yards.

However, at this moment, after an acceleration, the car speed directly soared to 80 yards!

Several times, they brushed past other vehicles; one wrong move and they could be done for.

Jumping out of the car? Impossible!

Grabbing the steering wheel? That would be pure suicide.

At present, the only way was to soothe the driver’s emotions and calm him down.

But after the few attempts at persuasion just now, it had no effect at all.

The driver still looked disheartened and weary of life, sighing incessantly: “Day in and day out, working myself to death only to be scolded by my boss, then coming out to drive ride-hailing for some extra cash, and my wife is sleeping with someone else. Do you think there’s any point in me living?”

“Yes, there is, there is!” A strong will to survive prompted Lin Yuan to quickly blurt out: “Big Brother Driver, even though you don’t have a wife anymore, you still have brothers!”

“Yes, yes, yes! You still have brothers, and good buddies.”

Upon hearing this, the driver cried even more miserably: “The one in the video is my good friend!”

“Holy cow!” Both of them simultaneously cursed in shock.

At this moment, the Photographer’s mind whirred, and he tried to comfort him again: “Think about your child, you still have a child, right?”

The result was...

The driver burst into full-blown wails: “Paternity test, the child isn’t mine either!!”

Darn it~~

Lin Yuan kicked the Photographer, truly hitting a sore spot.

He quickly tried to lighten the mood: “Think about your parents, they love you the most, they’re old, and they’re counting on you to see them off.”

“Wuwuwu~~~”

“Don’t say it, don’t say it, I was abducted when I was young, my adoptive parents raised me for a few years then abandoned me, and after marrying into their family, I’ve been treated like a beast of burden, bullied every day.”

“You insult me like this!! I don’t want to live!!”

Dumbfounded!!

Lin Yuan was completely dumbfounded.

This darned life, living really doesn’t seem to have any meaning.

Maybe it’s better if you just die.

Of course, he certainly wouldn’t say that out loud, after all, he was still in the car.

Netizens in the live stream, seeing this scene, all burst into laughter without reservation.

— [They are good at persuading people; originally, he was already numb, and the sadness would pass if he endured it. But no, they had to rub salt in the wound. Life was already a bit green, but he could still live. Now, it’s over, he can’t not die.]

— [No, how exactly do you persuade someone like this? Does he really have any meaning in living? Wife cheating, brother betraying, abducted since childhood, abandoned by adoptive parents, marrying in and being treated like a beast of burden. I really can’t think of where his joy in living lies.]

— [Most people certainly couldn’t accept it, but don’t forget the environment he grew up in. For him, perhaps just having food to eat is living. And looking at him, it’s not the first time he found out his wife cheated. One can only say he’s truly tolerant!]

— [I’m wondering in this situation, if he really committed suicide, would Lin Yuan be considered inciting murder? If so, then he’s truly wronged. But then again, does he really have no responsibility?!]

Looking at the completely broken driver, Lin Yuan’s head was buzzing.

It’s over, it’s over, something bad is really going to happen if this continues.

He knew that continuing to comfort the driver was meaningless; there was truly nothing to comfort in such a life.

He could only take a different approach, doing the opposite.

After realizing this, Lin Yuan’s expression suddenly changed, he put on a hysterical look, and angrily roared at the driver: “Yes! You should die! Someone like you truly has no meaning in living!”

“But I want to ask you, who brought all this frustration into your life?”

“The people who trafficked you! Your adoptive parents! Your wife! Your friend! Your in-laws!”

“After you die, these people won’t even give you a second glance. Will they be sad or upset? Your death won’t even have any value.”

Lin Yuan’s sudden roar instantly stunned both the driver and the Photographer.

Both of them looked at him in shock, completely not expecting him to say such words.

While the driver was stunned, Lin Yuan roared again: “Do you know why you’ve come to this point? It’s because you’re too cowardly!”

“You always think about enduring, taking a step back for a wider sky, but the more you do this, the more those who harm you will take an inch and ask for a mile.”

“They’ll chip away at your bottom line little by little, trample on your dignity, leaving you nowhere to retreat.”

“If I’m not mistaken, your wife cheating shouldn’t be just once or twice, right?”

Perhaps truly affected by Lin Yuan’s words, the driver’s emotions gradually stabilized. He nodded and replied: “You guessed right.”

“At first, I argued with her, and she promised me there wouldn’t be a next time.”

“But later I found out she cheated again, and when I confronted her again, she would curse and hit me, and even later she directly brought men home.”

“Now I don’t know how many men she’s cheated with. As long as I bring it up, she hits me, so I can only endure.”

After listening to the driver’s narration, Lin Yuan felt his worldview being trampled upon fiercely.

He asked incredulously: “I don’t understand, you also work, you can support yourself. She’s like this, why don’t you divorce her?”

“I…” The driver looked troubled upon hearing this, and stammered: “I never had a home since I was little, so I especially cherish a home. Even if this home is already dilapidated, I still want to protect it.”

These words were like a needle, deeply piercing Lin Yuan’s heart, and also the hearts of the netizens in the live stream.

Although they couldn’t understand the driver’s thoughts, looking at his life, they could probably imagine it.

It’s like the saying goes, people’s sorrows and joys are not interconnected.

What most people would no longer call a home was, for the driver, the harbor deep within his heart.
