She took out the makeup mirror from her bag and casually took out lipstick to touch up her makeup, “You say you like him, but you want to torture him, little girl, that's not called liking.”

Su Qiuge didn't want to talk to her at first but sensed that there was something in her words, so he frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”

With a “snap”, Zhao Xuening closed the makeup mirror and said expressionlessly, “Over the years, how much work did Xinglin do for that little girl surnamed Pei to have a smooth operation? This time that girl's operation failed again, and Liu Yuan has no money.”

Zhao Xuening pursed her lips, then shrugged and said, “This old house, I guess he is reluctant to part with it, and he can't sell it for much. He wakes up so early every morning, comes back so late at night, and has stomach problems. His body probably can't take it anymore. But he still stubbornly refuses to talk to others, and refuses to beg for a penny from others, what an independent and poor child.”

Su Qiuge took a deep breath when he heard this, and stared at the woman in disbelief.

At this time, the woman with heavy make-up looked like a beast without emotion, she couldn't help but said, “You are his mother, since you are rich, why don't you help him?”

Zhao Xuening seemed to have heard some joke, and smiled, “Xinglin is my child, but that little oil bottle is not, and I am not doing charity, why should I help her? Everything has a price.”

She put the makeup box in her bag, and wrote casually, “But… as long as Xinglin is willing to go abroad with me, let alone pay for the complete cure of the little girl's illness, even Liu Yuan's pension expenses will be settled. I can help with that too.”

When she said this, she raised her eyes and looked at her slowly, “Little girl, didn't you keep saying that you liked him? Since you like him, you should do it well for him.”

“If he follows me to study abroad, the education he receives and the world he sees would be many times better than those in China, and he will also be given shares in my husband's company. Compared to staying in this dilapidated residential building with you every day and eating instant noodles, isn't this future much better?”

As soon as the words fell, she took one last look at the narrow corridor with disgust, then twisted her waist and turned to leave.

Su Qiuge looked at the empty staircase for a while.

She suddenly remembered that I asked him if he was threatened before, and he replied unhurriedly.

How could it be alright?

How sad it must have been for him to hear those hurtful words.

At three o'clock in the morning, the door opened softly.

Knowing that she might have fallen asleep, he kept his footsteps as light as possible.

After returning to the house and pouring a cup of hot water, he looked down at the cup of water with white mist rising from it, staring at it for a while.

At this time, there was a sudden convulsion in his stomach, which made him frown slightly. He couldn't help but take a step back and lean against the wall to let out a slight breath.

Those words sounded in his ears.

——”Like you are now, can you afford her?”

——”You can't afford her monthly expenses alone.”

——”I heard that your grades are very good, and I am very grateful that you can help my daughter improve. If you want to be paid, I can afford it, but I can't joke about her future. You don't even care about your own life. If you have a bad life, why do you think you can give her a future?”

His stomach hurt badly, and his forehead was already covered with cold sweat. His hand holding the cup trembled, and then he tried his best to put the cup on the table stably.

Immediately afterwards, he took a few steps back to lean against the wall again and then slid down against the wall bit by bit.

She may still be sleeping.

Just thinking about it like this, even the muffled sound of enduring the pain became quieter.

He endured the pain and wanted to go to the cabinet to get the medicine, but at this moment, the light in the living room was suddenly turned on.

She stood at the door of the room, looking at him with red eyes.

Seeing him take off the usual calm mask, leaning against the wall in a state of embarrassment, the pain made the veins on his forehead twitch.

They stared at each other for a while, exhaled, and spoke as calmly as possible, “Are you awake?”

“Have you had a nightmare?”

His trembling voice made her choke up, and then she ran toward him.

She knelt down and hugged him tightly.

His body froze slightly.

Then, like a drowning fish, she kissed him clumsily while weeping.

He still let her be like this, looked down at her, leaned against the wall, and gently wiped away her tears with his hand movements.

After a while, she finally recovered.

Then, she lowered her head and said, “Xie Xinglin, let go.”

“Go abroad with your mother.”

His hand hanging by his side trembled slightly.

He could feel her whole body shaking.

When he said this, he didn't even dare to look at him.

His eyes dimmed slightly.

Zhao Xuening has looked for her.

So sad, probably because the woman said some exaggerated things to her.

Thinking of this, his hands clenched slightly.

She didn't expect that he was still injured because of him.

Unable to wait for his answer, she finally couldn't help it, covered her face, and cried, “Don't worry, I will wait for you here, as long as you come back, I will always wait for you.”

Although I want to keep you by my side selfishly, I can't delay you any longer.

Everything else she did was wrong, but what she said was right.

He was going to go his own way.

It cannot be because she bound him here, and then they gradually lose vitality under her nose.

She lowered her eyes and cried for a long time, finally choked up and said, “Promise me, okay?”

He had thought that no matter what the situation would be, he would carry through.

Anyway, it used to be like this, and now it's nothing.

No one else can shake his determination. No matter how the situation develops, there would be a solution.

But now facing her crying.

He lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time. Finally, he put his hand on top of her head and said softly, “Okay.”

I promise you, don't cry.

More than that.

Even if it takes my life.
