When Li Yuanhang appeared, Hu Die naturally got rid of the landlord's entanglement easily. He rescued her again, like a knight in the dark night, guarding an enchanting rose.
After going upstairs, she forced a smile, thinking she was very cheerful, and said, "Thank you."
He didn't speak, just stared at her silently
There was a hint of embarrassment on her face, and she secretly adjusted her heart rate, "Would you like something to drink? How about coffee?!"
he acquiesces
She turned around and walked into the small kitchen, boiled a pot of hot water, and brewed two packets of instant coffee in paper cups.
During the process, she faintly felt two scorching gazes following her closely, as if they could burn two holes behind her, and she suddenly felt heart palpitations.
About five minutes later, she walked back to the small living room gracefully, handed him the paper cup, and took a sip of the cup herself, hoping to calm her inner anxiety.
Li Yuanhang lowered his head and looked at the coffee in his hand, his eyebrows slightly frowning unconsciously, instant?!
He hesitated for a moment before summoning up the courage to take a bite. The taste...well, it was very special.
Stopped and stopped drinking, as if it was difficult to digest, more like I had something to say.
"You must find it strange, right?!" She asked proactively, thinking of attacking first and taking the initiative to defend her fortress.
Li Yuanhang was still silent, his fingers holding the paper cup tightened slightly, and the trembling brown liquid in the cup revealed his mood that was still difficult to calm down for a while.
She curled her red lips with a sarcastic arc, three points towards him and seven points towards herself, "Since you have seen it, I will tell you the truth. In fact, I am not as glamorous as everyone thinks. , I live in a cheap house like this, take the bus every day, wear clothes bought at the night market, have no savings, and pay off my monthly debt.”
"Why?!" His voice was hoarse and he squeezed the paper cup tighter between his fingers.
She took a deep breath and spoke eloquently, "My mother was deceived by a man when she was young and became a third party. I am an illegitimate daughter. I have been looked down upon and criticized by others since I was a child. In the first few years, my father would give me We gave some money to mother and daughter. Later, when I went to school, my mother was in poor health and the burden increased, so he evaded his responsibilities and ran away with his first wife. I have always been working part-time, although My grades are not particularly good, but they are not bad either. I want knowledge to change my destiny. I don’t want to live in poverty like my mother for the rest of my life, but I inherited 99% of my face from my mother. No matter how hard I work, others will see it. It's not my contribution, they still look at my face. As I grow older, I begin to understand this society more deeply. After graduation, I changed many jobs, all because my boss wanted to do evil to me. until……"
After a pause, she glanced at Li Yuanhang's face, and seeing that he didn't have much reaction, she continued slowly, "Until I entered the Rong Family, I was under Rong Yuchi at first, and then Rong Chen. , until now, the job is basically stable, but the salary alone is not enough. My mother was mentally damaged because she was abandoned by my father, and she needs to be hospitalized for a long time. She has been in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital for eight years, so I don’t want to go there. Even though I was familiar with it, in order to pay for medical expenses, I had to work constantly while I was still in school. But I didn’t have any special skills. I would be harassed by customers when I worked as a waiter in a restaurant. Later, I started to learn to make money from men... …”
She laughed at herself and continued, "The effect is not bad! If you smile at them and act coquettishly, you can get a lot of benefits. I accept gifts from men and then sell them. Oh, by the way, the pair you bought back then.
The same thing happened to the shoes, hehe, they were quite expensive. There was also Mr. Ye, the manager I met in Hong Kong that day. He was one of my former 'customers', and my landlord just now, he was also a piece of shit, anyway.
Most men are the same, few are good!"
Li Yuanhang's brows suddenly wrinkled
"Uh... Of course, there are also people who don't agree with others, such as Mr. Li," she said flatteringly, but he was not happy at all.
Deliberately ignoring her joking praise, he asked in a low voice, "How is your mother doing now?!"
Her eyes dimmed and she said indifferently, "She has had five strokes, her brain function has been severely damaged, and she has Alzheimer's disease. Her IQ is now about the same as that of a child. Sometimes she doesn't even recognize me."
"Have you... taken care of her alone for so many years? Don't you have any relatives?!" His voice became deeper and deeper.
relative?!
Did he forget that she was an illegitimate daughter?!
"No, it's just us, mother and daughter." Her eyes flashed, and when she raised her face again, she was already smiling, "The two of us are actually pretty good. I look a lot like my mother. When she wasn't sick, everyone else
Said we were like sisters”
He was stunned and looked at her with trembling eyes. The smiling flower on her bright face was so beautiful that it made people's hearts tremble.
She saw the sympathy and pity in his eyes, so she straightened her back and responded calmly and proudly, "Okay, I'm done telling my story. Mr. Li, please come back!"
Li Yuanhang froze on the spot. The coffee in the paper cup became slightly cold. He closed his eyes and said, as if to delay time, "I haven't finished the coffee yet."
"Then drink quickly," she urged.
He picked up the paper cup and brought it to his lips. He knew how unpleasant the taste was without even tasting it. It was the first time in his life that he drank instant coffee, and it was still cold!
Although he knew it would be hard to swallow, he still insisted on drinking it, but to his surprise, when he tasted it again, the taste was not that bad.
He silently drank sip after sip, and an indescribable taste spread in his chest.
After drinking the coffee, there was no trace left in the paper cup. He had no reason to linger anymore. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, let alone how to say it.
Compared to his hesitation, she seemed unusually calm. She walked him to the door, raised her head and said proudly, "I don't need your sympathy or anyone else's sympathy."
He pondered for a moment and said sincerely, "If you need help with anything, you can come to me."
She raised her lips and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Li, for your thoughtfulness."
Obviously, she didn't accept it
Li Yuanhang frowned again
What a difficult person! Hu Die secretly made a conclusion in his heart
So she chose to speak clearly, "Mr. Li, everyone's life is different. Not everyone is born with a silver spoon like you. Everyone's lifestyle is also different. I have my own model.
