What defines the scum of society? Is it a useless person always hated by others, or merely an incompetent one? Society always saw Hạ Long Vũ as nothing more than an incompetent, useless person.
He had a girlfriend who, though beautiful, was nothing but a gold-digger.
Was this the rule of 21st-century society? Perhaps now, the more society developed, the more it differed from the past.
Despite being a modern city, he was often beaten by them.
Hạ Long Vũ always endured their torturous beatings.
No matter how much it hurt, he still endured.
For the sake of the one he loved most: Cố Đan Lệ.
“Hah…..”
A heavy sigh escaped him as they always beat him. He didn't dare to resist, only staying silent as they hit him.
After the gangsters and thugs finished beating Long Vũ,
They even spat in his face.
His face was now bleeding from the beating.
But by now, he had grown too accustomed to this.
Why was that? Because they always sought out Long Vũ.
And the first thing they did was give him a beating.
At the time, he didn't understand why they were beating him. He clearly hadn't done anything.
And at first, when they beat him, leaving him with scrapes and wounds,
His entire face was bruised.
Long Vũ merely raised his head slightly to look, his hand seeming to reach out to them.
Tears gently fell upon his face.
“Clearly… I didn’t do anything… so why are you beating me…?”
Though they were about to leave, they heard Long Vũ speak.
They merely glanced back at Long Vũ.
“Why? Just look at yourself.”
Long Vũ heard them say that, and his voice began to choke up, as if denying his involvement.
Why was it like this? Or was society inherently unfair to him?
They saw his state, but didn't care about his feelings.
Why was that? Because they were gangsters and thugs.
Why should we care? But even so, his appearance made them soften a little.
“You owe us over 3 billion and you even dared to steal things. And you say you didn’t do anything?”
Hạ Long Vũ thought back to everything. Why did he actually have to borrow money from gangsters and thugs? Because his girlfriend wanted it.
But Long Vũ was poor and had nothing, so he only dared to borrow money from the gangsters. Even things like stealing from others were for her.
That’s why he was always called the scum of society by others.
Seeing that he said nothing, they just sneered, put their hands in their pockets, and left.
At the same time, a girl with black hair reaching her back,
Of a decent height, with smooth, fair skin,
Sharp eyes, wearing a light blue top that reached her shoulders, and jeans,
Đan Lệ walked over to Long Vũ, seeing him now looking like a beggar, his skin scraped and wounded.
His face clearly showed the wounds from their beating, along with blood at the corner of his mouth.
When Cố Đan Lệ saw Long Vũ in such a state, her face clearly revealed an expression of disdain.
Despite his injuries, he knew Đan Lệ had come.
“Đan Lệ… did you come to visit me…?”
Hạ Long Vũ was certain Đan Lệ would come here to take care of him.
But what he didn't expect happened.
“Haha, me, take care of you? You lunatic!”
Those two words, ‘lunatic,’ were a direct blow to his self-respect.
The person he cared about more than his own family.
He even borrowed money, and even stole, just to buy her what she liked most.
"Why?…Why would you say that?…"
Although his wounds still hurt, Long Vu still tried to speak, as if wanting Dan Le to give him the answer.
"Why? It's simple: you've outlived your usefulness."
Only now did Long Vu realize that the affection, the love he had for Dan Le…! It was all just a lie, a deception.
He never expected that one day he would be betrayed by the very person he loved.
Now, Long Vu's spirit was shattered.
From this moment on, he would trust no one.
It turned out, he had thought that simply giving Dan Le the life she always wanted would be enough for happiness, and that he himself would make her happy.
But now, everything was just a pretense. Dan Le had just told him he had outlived his usefulness.
Those words were like a knife plunged deep into his heart.
Nevertheless, Long Vu was now in despair.
"So that's how it is."
"For so many years, I've given all my affection and care to you, Dan Le…"
Dan Le paid no attention to Long Vu's words; instead, she kicked his leg hard.
"Ugh…"
Long Vu, having just been kicked hard in the leg, now clutched his leg with both hands. His face now twisted in more pain; he clutched his right leg, and though he didn't want to cry out, Dan Le's kick made it impossible to hold back.
"AAA…"
Dan Le saw that sight, and her true nature was laid bare.
"Look at you, Long Vu… I think I'll just cripple you now, wouldn't that be better?"
As she spoke, Dan Le kicked Long Vu's leg hard.
Yet, he no longer even knew what betrayal was.
Why was that? Now that he had already been betrayed, there was nothing left to protect.
Just then, dark clouds began to gather, and the thunder and lightning grew louder.
The rain grew heavier and heavier, pouring down.
Dan Le saw the heavy rain and felt a surge of anger because she hadn't had time to beat Long Vu before the rain started.
She merely shot him a glance.
"Tsk…"
Then she left immediately, leaving Long Vu's pathetic figure lying on the ground, along with the bruises on his shoulders.
Even though it was still raining.
But he still tried to find something to clutch onto, to try and stand up.
But his wounds were now much worse, so Long Vu had no choice but to lean against the wall.
Breathing heavily, he now had no one to help him and had to do it himself.
Long Vu gently placed his hand on his leg.
Although he felt immense pain.
But there was nothing he could do.
Long Vu just looked up at the sky, and at that moment, the rain began to subside.
And soon, it stopped completely.
Suddenly, a thought flashed in his mind.
"Now I have to change…! Society has changed, so I must change with it."
Long Vu had no choice but to stand up using his own strength.
After a while, he managed to stand up, and slowly tried to walk using his own strength.
No matter how much pain he felt, or how badly he was scratched, he had to walk the path he had chosen, by himself.
Long Vu, despite everything, had no choice but to accept it.
Now, the person he loved had stabbed him in the heart.
A person who would probably make him unable to forget any of it.
