Chapter 131: Must Be Crazy
Dong dong dong!!!
Yue Hongxin nearly staggered backward five or six steps!
Her entire being felt as if, in an instant, she plummeted from miles high in the sky into an endless hell!
In her mind, various past memories suddenly flashed before her…
She remembered, in the summer of her nineteenth year, a memory she could never erase from her life.
That night, for money, she sold her body.
The scenes were still vivid, a middle-aged, fat man who weighed nearly 180 pounds, greasy all over, was on top of her, gleefully galloping and wantonly playing.
It was the most shameful and pitiable moment of her life, yet with a face full of tears, she still had to actively cooperate.
From that moment, she became a slave to money.
Memories surged like a tide, attacking her relentlessly!
"No!! No...…"
Yue Hongxin's eyes were fierce and bloodshot as she clutched her head, but those dirty, unbearable past memories could not be dispelled from her mind.
Is Jiang Yingxue laughable? Haha! Perhaps it is she who is the true laughingstock!
Especially recalling how just moments ago, Jiang Yingxue was willing to break off an argument with her for the sake of a shabby gift from her boyfriend.
That earnestness, anger, and innocence were rewarded with a gift worth fifty million.
When compared to her own youth, dirtiness, and sadness traded for designer bags and luxury cars, it was a massive irony.
But she refused to accept it! She did not believe there was a woman in the world who could withstand the test of money!
Jiang Yingxue would certainly sell that dark, unimpressive thing for fifty million! After all, fifty million was right there for the taking.
Everyone felt as if their faces had been swollen from slapping; they had just been praising the value of the bracelet sent by Zhong Yuchen.
What they had looked down upon and laughed at, the black mud pill, turned out to far exceed their expectations, worth over fifty million!
As for Zhong Yuchen, he still couldn't believe that all of this was real, his dark eyes staring fiercely.
Lin Mo had slapped his face time and again, giving him shock after shock, his ability to endure up to now was something of a miracle.
Under the gaze of everyone.
Everyone was waiting for an answer.
However, contrary to everyone's expectations,
"I'm sorry, this is a gift from my boyfriend, so no matter how much money, I'm not going to sell it."
Jiang Yingxue clutched the glass bottle tightly, as if afraid someone would snatch it away, her face as pure as snow bloomed with a brilliant smile, as resplendent as a rose.
Truth be told, Jiang Yingxue was happier than anyone; when Lin Mo gave her the present, she was very pleased.
But what she didn't expect was, the gift Lin Mo gave was worth fifty million!
Lin Mo could have easily sold it for a huge sum, but instead, he gave it to her just like any ordinary gift.
What does this show? It shows that Lin Mo didn't care about money at all, not even a whopping fifty million!
It's not that Jiang Yingxue felt that fifty million was prestigious; she wasn't materialistic, but that contrast filled her with an extraordinary surprise and emotion.
Hearing Jiang Yingxue's firm refusal, Yue Hongxin's face turned ashen, and she almost vomited blood.
At this time, the middle-aged man who knelt before Jiang Yingxue suddenly burst into tears, his eyes conveying utmost sincerity:
"Miss, I can see that you are truly kind-hearted. Fifty million would tempt any girl's heart slightly."
"But in your eyes, I saw no greed or desire."
"Would you be willing to listen to a story from me?"
Jiang Yingxue was startled, but instinctively looked toward Lin Mo and, seeing no change in his expression, then helped him up, "Go ahead."
The middle-aged man looked at everyone present, with tears in his eyes:
"This story is about my wife; my wife and I met in high school, fell in love in college."
"For a full seven years, we finally reached the altar of marriage."
"And for her, I struggled for three years, leaped into the ranks of the Dragon Sect, and ultimately became a chairman in Shu Province with a net worth over a billion."
"But, just two months ago, an insidious black pox suddenly appeared on my wife's face; we searched countless hospitals, to no avail."
"Frightened by her disfigurement, my wife was subjected to endless cold stares, and even outright insults when she went out—when with me, many insulted her behind our backs, saying she didn't deserve me…"
"I don't care about that; I could give up everything for her, but, just yesterday, my wife chose to attempt suicide!"
"If I hadn't found her in time, she would probably have made it to the Netherworld by now. I hate myself for being so successful yet unable to make my own wife happy and content."
"I took her to every hospital in Huaxia, to no avail. I'm not ashamed to say that these past days I haven't even had a sip of water. But a few days ago, I heard there's an Eternal Youth Pill that could restore my wife's face to its original state."
"That's right, miss, it's the kind of elixir you have in your hand."
The man's words were earnest and moving, particularly the sacrifices he made for his wife, which deeply touched Jiang Yingxue's heart as well.
Then, Jiang Yingxue looked at Lin Mo, biting her lip, "Lin Mo, would you be angry if teacher gave this pill to him?"
Lin Mo casually put his hands in his pockets and said indifferently, "I've already given it to you. The decision is yours."
Jiang Yingxue nodded thoughtfully.
Then, under countless scrutinizing gazes, Jiang Yingxue opened the lid of the glass bottle and took out the black pill, handing it to the middle-aged man:
"Here, take it and hurry back to give it to your wife!"
"Thank... thank you!!!"
The middle-aged man, moved to tears and in disbelief that Jiang Yingxue would actually sell him the pill, said, "I'll transfer the money to you right away."
"No need."
Jiang Yingxue waved her hand, her gaze serious, "But there's one thing you must promise me, that you will love only her for life, and spend the rest of your days with her!"
The middle-aged man was taken aback, his gaze earnest to the extreme, "Thank you!! Miss, thank you so much! I, Yu Lei, swear that I will love my wife with my life for the rest of my life!"
Having said that, the middle-aged man, with tears in his eyes, rushed toward the elevator, overwhelmed with emotion.
As for everyone present, they were all astounded.
Yue Hongxin's eyes held a mixture of disbelief and shock:
"Jiang Yingxue, have you lost your mind? That's worth fifty million!"
"You're actually forgoing fifty million?"
It wasn't just her; the others present, even Zhong Yuchen, would definitely not be able to be so generous and willing to give away fifty million.
"You're truly pathetic!"
Jiang Yingxue gave Yue Hongxin a cold look, her hands still tightly clutching the glass bottle, "Though the pill inside is gone, this gift still holds extraordinary significance for me. It remains just as precious!"
Then, Jiang Yingxue turned her gaze to Lin Mo and smiled faintly, "Lin Mo, thank you for the gift you gave to teacher. I will treasure it."
"Uh-huh." Lin Mo nodded indifferently, his cool gaze showing even more admiration.
Mad!
These two are definitely mad!
Those present felt as if thunderstruck, a roar in their heads. In their eyes, the two must have lost their minds.
Fifty million! An easy fifty million, just given away for nothing. They're fools among fools!
