Chapter 2738 - 2800: Hypocrite

Li Minjia initially couldn’t believe it, thinking that Li Yifei was lying to her, but when she saw Li Yifei starting the car and asking for directions again, she finally awoke from her dream. She asked cautiously, "Sir, is what you said true?"

"At ten o’clock, I’m leaving. If you miss this opportunity, you might really have to find a pig to sell yourself to!" Li Yifei pointed to the watch on his wrist. Li Minjia glanced at the watch; she didn’t recognize the brand, but it was definitely not cheap because it looked expensive... She quickly nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll say it, I... first thank you, I will repay you."

"Repayment can be discussed later. If I were after your body, wouldn’t it be easier to just take you to a hotel directly? Why go through all this trouble!" Li Yifei replied.

Li Minjia confirmed that Li Yifei sincerely wanted to help her, her heart eased, and she couldn’t help but stick her tongue out playfully—an action she seldom did. She had always been pressured by life, and such moments of relaxation were really rare. However, she was still worried inside; it wasn’t a small amount, but tens of thousands, and possibly a large sum later on. Would this kind-hearted man really give so much money? What right did she have to ask for so much from him?

Is there anything in the world obtained without giving, especially money?

After asking for the address, although Li Minjia was still doubtful, she could only embrace it with a try-it-out mentality, as it was her only chance, and brought Li Yifei back home.

This was an old neighborhood, so old that... the outer walls of the residential building had already fallen off, and they were red-brick houses. Li Yifei had seen such houses in Mile City before, but they were really rare now; they all belonged to dangerous buildings. Li Minjia said the house was rented, with an annual rent of three thousand. Water and electricity were okay, but it was very cold in winter because the heating was not warm at all, so it was simply stopped. After all, paying over fifteen hundred a year for heating that wasn’t warm was really not worth it.

"Hmm, what did your mother do before?"

"She was a worker at a textile factory; this is an old neighborhood from the textile factory, but the textile factory closed down ten years ago, its original site has long been torn down, now it’s a new factory district, yet this place hasn’t been relocated due to inconvenient transportation and unsuitable location."

"Hmm, what illness does your mother have?" Li Yifei’s thought was very jumping; fortunately, Li Minjia was able to keep up, she said, "It’s the kidneys, chronic renal failure, but now it’s developed to the point where treatment is needed urgently. The doctor said the best way is a kidney transplant, otherwise dialysis every week, but it’s almost late for dialysis, so we need to wait ****, I’ve thought it through, once we get the money, we’ll do the matching. If my kidney matches my mom’s, then she’ll use mine; besides, one kidney can live normally and doesn’t affect at all."

"Where does it really have no impact, it’s all makeshift!" Li Yifei said one sentence, Li Minjia pouted and nodded, replied, "But my mom has to be saved, even if both kidneys are given to her!"

"If both are given, you’d die. By then your mom wouldn’t want to live either!"

"But selling a kidney outdoors costs hundreds of thousands. I... don’t have it." Li Minjia stopped suddenly here, said, "Sir, I mean nothing else, your helping us, even if just a bit, I’m very grateful, if not... you might as well buy me then, so I can feel more at ease."

"Buy you?" Li Yifei parked the car.

"Uh-huh, yes, like what was told before." Li Minjia nodded repeatedly.

"Ha ha, I’m quite a pervert, like using a whip to hit your butt, back, like tying your hands, feet, body with rope, like doing weird things to you, could you stand it?" Li Yifei naturally joked, Li Minjia shivered slightly, quickly shook her head, said, "I trust you’re not that kind of person, you’re very upright!"

"Hypocrite, ever heard of it?" Li Yifei asked.

Li Minjia continued shaking her head, said, "Impossible, absolutely not, moreover, truly being that way, I would accept, as long as you save my mom!"

"Nonsense, put away your thoughts, a big girl like you, selling yourself all the time, isn’t it embarrassing!" Saying this, Li Yifei released the seat belt, just about to open the car door, Li Minjia’s face suddenly flushed red, but her hands still held onto Li Yifei’s arm, pressed him down, said, "Sir, you really don’t reconsider? I’m very serious, and I have no regrets, earlier you asked if I’d regret it, I still said this month won’t regret, but during the chat on this journey, I feel I won’t regret this in my lifetime."

"If I really took you, I’d regret it greatly, if what you said is true, then you’re now a little white flower, growing in mud, yet untainted," Li Yifei half spoke in English, half in French, mixing them up. Li Minjia’s eyes widened, she understood, but there were two unknown words in French, yet she roughly guessed the meaning, Li Yifei’s speech made her involuntarily sniffle, said, "But I’d owe you much,"

"Listen, I’m no noble person, can’t control many people, just happen to meet you today, seeing you want to sell yourself, hearing your said things, I believed you’re serious, so I want to help, life has many hardships, difficult times, if someone pulls, perhaps the difficulty passes, much better than facing alone, prevents you from straying, but doesn’t mean I’m a good person, so you... live well from now, study hard, no obstacle can’t be crossed, trust me, Heavenly Path rewards diligence, you work harder, Heaven ultimately rewards you!" Li Yifei withdrew his hand, patted Li Minjia’s hand, seriously said.

Li Minjia took a deep breath, held her breath, nodded forcefully, her eyes full of emotion, said, "I remember it, definitely remember, remember it all my life."

"Alright, going to see your mom now, don’t cry around, doesn’t look good, good people exist, but can’t count on them, still rely on oneself for everything, you’re lucky meeting me this time, if such thoughts arise again, think of today!" Li Yifei said, had already opened the car door, walked out.

Li Minjia hurriedly followed, her skirt might only be eighty or a hundred yuan, even so, it’s her best garment, so are the shoes, akin to a Cinderella, Li Yifei saw standing in front, slender and graceful Li Minjia, gently nodded, said, "Come on, for your appearance, it’s worth helping."

Li Minjia pursed her lips, nodded, said, "My home is in the building up front! But... the way isn’t good, please be careful, the smell isn’t pleasant, it’ll be fine once inside."

"Hmm, call me Brother Fei too, stop the ’sir’, when introducing me to your mom later, just say I’m a doctor, make up an identity, prevent her suspicion!"

"Alright, alright, I’ve noted it!"

The two walked one at the front, the other behind, Li Minjia leading, Li Yifei following, indeed difficult to walk, though it hadn’t rained for many days, still muddy, tough to walk, clearly this wasn’t rainwater but sewage stinking terribly, unknown where blocked, now flowed out, no wonder the stink.

Of course, it wasn’t just this smell, upfront there lay a massive garbage heap, filled with refuse, seemingly untouched for ages, flies buzzing above, hundreds flying off when passing.

Filthy and messy, unimaginable for many, yet the buildings were still occupied, Li Minjia reached the third unit, halted, turned to Li Yifei, said, "It’s right here, sir... Brother Fei, I’ll walk ahead, fourth floor."

Li Yifei pondered whether Li Minjia’s nutrition ought to be poor, yet how come her figure was so impressive, those round and perky hips, enticing walking; though unintentionally, men naturally appreciate good female form, straight legs, crossing temptingly.

Li Yifei shook his head, such thoughts seemed too much, how could imagining those legs on shoulders feel, somewhat lewd, truly shouldn’t.

He quickly dismissed such notions, ascending with Li Minjia, hallway stunk overwhelmingly, Li Minjia accustomed, Li Yifei uncomfortably endured, soon reached fourth floor, suddenly unique stink, that’s... rank smell, Li Minjia halted at a door, got out key from pocket, turned saying, "Brother Fei, house’s smell might be harsh, my mom is very sick, can’t return daily to help change her, hence...here’s a mask, you may wear."

"Wear what mask, going in first!" Li Yifei said.

Opened the door, inside stunk more, naturally small room bad ventilation, patient feels cold, windows closed worsening the smell, Li Yifei noticed a drying line with numerous fabric pieces, likely washed nappies made from old clothes; he sighed internally, poor folks indeed struggling, kidney ailment severely impacts urination, hard dialysis worsens bloating, smell’s unbearable, complications may arise over time.

But seeing Li Minjia’s mom, Li Yifei was slightly stunned, her belly round seemed... like eight-month pregnancy, face pale, swollen; otherwise, she might be a beauty young.

Li Minjia approached softly calling ’mom’, eyes opened seeing her daughter, weakly squeezed a smile, but soon noticed Li Yifei, instantly vigilant, seemed dubious in gaze.
