Su Jing asked for the address.
“It’s on Dacheng Street…” The girl provided the address, and Su Jing used the navigation to locate it and drove to the destination. On the way, he also picked up two takeout orders.
After a while, they arrived at a location in the city and entered a dark alley. Su Jing opened the door to a small, dark room with a damp and rotten smell.
Inside, there was a middle-aged woman with a yellowish complexion sitting beside the bed, writing something. When she saw the girl, she quickly stuffed the paper under the bed sheet. The girl didn’t notice, but Su Jing saw it clearly.
“Big brother, please don’t mind the mess. Mom, let me introduce you to a kind big brother who is willing to help us,” The girl said as she led Su Jing into the house.
“What big brother?” The middle-aged woman became vigilant when she saw Su Jing and pulled the girl over. “Xiao Ni, has he done anything to you?” She asked, looking at the girl and then at Su Jing.
It was clear that the middle-aged woman was worried that Su Jing had ulterior motives for helping them, as it was uncommon for people to offer help without expecting anything in return, especially not to the extent of spending tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Although the girl was not considered a great beauty, she was still quite attractive, and at the age of seventeen or eighteen, she was still young. This might have contributed to the middle-aged woman’s concern.
“This big brother is kind and willing to lend us money,” the girl explained.
The middle-aged woman saw that the girl was still wearing her tattered dress and seemed unharmed, and she couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
She lovingly touched the girl’s head and said to Su Jing, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. We appreciate it, but we can’t accept your offer to borrow money. We are grateful for your kindness.”
…
“Mom, it’s rare that this brother is willing to help us. Why don’t you accept his offer? With this money, your illness can be cured,” The girl said anxiously, somewhat confused by her mother’s refusal.
“My illness is fine, don’t listen to those doctors’ nonsense,” The middle-aged woman said with a smile on her face as she tried to comfort her daughter.
“It doesn’t matter how the tumor looks. Without surgery, it will be too late,” The girl said urgently.
“It’s okay, you really don’t need to borrow money from anyone. Sir, thank you for your generosity but please go back, we don’t need to borrow any money” The middle-aged woman urged, seeming to be afraid that Su Jing would lend them the money.
Su Jing sighed and, instead of leaving, he stepped forward and flipped up the bed sheet to retrieve the paper that the middle-aged woman had secretly stuffed underneath. The expression on the middle-aged woman’s face changed, and she tried to grab the paper, but Su Jing dodged her.
Su Jing looked at the paper and saw that the writing was overall neat, but the handwriting was not attractive and there were some typos. It was clear that the middle-aged woman was not well-educated.
The letter read: “Xiaoni, by the time you read this letter, I will have already left. Didn’t I tell you about my dream of traveling the world? Now is the right time. Maybe I’ll see your father on the way. I didn’t have time to say goodbye to him, so please forgive me for leaving without a word. Forgive me for not fulfilling my responsibilities as a mother. You have to live well on your own. You are a hardworking and good child, and you can already take care of yourself. Live a good life and find a good man to marry in a few years…”
The letter ended abruptly, indicating that it was only halfway finished, and was interrupted by Su Jing and the girl’s sudden return.
The girl grabbed the letter and read it, only seeing half of it before bursting into tears. She hugged the middle-aged woman tightly, and cried, “Mom, what are you doing? Don’t you want me? I won’t let you go. What would I do without you?”
“Without me, you would have a better life. I’m the one who dragged you down. You are working and begging now. What kind of life are you living? I’m sorry for you,” The middle-aged woman said, unable to stop crying.
“Mom, don’t say that. You raised me so much, I should take care of you. Besides, this big brother is willing to lend us money. When you are cured, our lives will improve,” The girl cried.
“My disease…if it’s not cured, you will owe a lot of debts in the future. How can you live like that? Daughter, listen to me. Let me go. You are still young and have a good youth ahead of you. I’ve lived enough. As long as you live a good life, I’ll be satisfied,” The middle-aged woman said, crying even more sadly.
“No, I don’t want you to go,” The girl hugged her mother even tighter.
“Are you finished?” Su Jing, moved by their tears, couldn’t help interrupting them. “Listen to me first and then make a decision. Let me introduce myself first,” He said.
It was clear that the middle-aged woman and the girl did not recognize Su Jing, which was not surprising. Su Jing had not yet achieved a level of fame where everyone in the country knew him, and it was likely that they had been too focused on their difficult lives over the past few years to pay attention to entertainment news.
Su Jing had no choice but to introduce himself, and in order to thoroughly introduce himself, he also omitted his modesty and boasted a lot. The mother and daughter were stunned when they heard this and even forgot to cry.
They searched the internet to verify Su Jing’s identity and, after confirming it, both of them stared at him wide-eyed in shock.
The girl was especially amazed, as she never could have imagined that the fiancé of the kind big sister, whom she had begged for help, was actually a big star and successful businessman.
As the middle-aged woman saw the various good deeds that Su Jing had done, such as rescuing people from fires and saving planes, as well as his charitable donations to his alma mater, she couldn’t help but feel apologetic for initially suspecting him of having bad intentions.
