Chapter 13 Colleague (Seeking Monthly Ticket)
Shen Siyuan took a taxi home, only to find Old Man Lu still pacing downstairs.
When he saw Shen Siyuan return, he slightly bowed in greeting without approaching.
Shen Siyuan thought to himself, does he still plan to play the long game, playing the sympathy card?
In fact, Shen Siyuan had already decided to help him, but not because he had a messiah complex or went soft just seeing the other as an old man.
Instead, he wanted to try and see if helping people like Old Man Lu fulfill their wishes would also bring merit.
After all, pure souls like Dou Dou's are not many, and most of them are children.
Just as Old Man Lu had said, most people in this world are like him, having faced countless temptations in life, it's nearly impossible to remain utterly guilt-free.
To correct one's faults is something many have experienced, and it is through these experiences that people learn and grow; it doesn't mean they are bad people.
Old Man Lu was such a person; in his youth, he had been quite foolish, but as he aged, his thoughts matured, and slowly he became the benevolent Grandpa Lu in everyone's mind.
Nothing happens overnight; there's always a process. Some people veer off and can never return, while others look back and become better versions of themselves.
You can't label someone a bad person just because they took a wrong turn.
