Seeing Lin Qingxue looking like a pear blossom bathed in rain, Jiang Cheng felt a pang of pity and stroked her head, saying gently, "Don't worry about the money. With me here, I'll also find the best doctors for the treatment. Stop crying."
After speaking, Jiang Cheng took out his phone, opened wechat, and asked in a small group, "Brothers, I have a uremia patient here who needs a kidney transplant. Do any of you have any good leads to introduce?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng offer to help again, Lin Qingxue couldn't help but look expectant.
Watching him take out his phone to find a way for her, the unease in her heart gradually faded.
The various pressures and anxieties she had silently borne over the past few months were all swept away in an instant.
Lin Qingxue couldn't help but feel a sense of emotion; so this was what it felt like to have someone to lean on.
Before, she always felt that staying by Jiang Cheng's side was just being a doll that relied on him.
But now, she realized that didn't seem to be the case.
Jiang Cheng was truly good to her.
From beginning to end, he had never asked her for anything in exchange.
Instead, he gave her money and resources she had never possessed before.
Now, he even promised to help solve her family's greatest difficulty.
Her life had completely changed because of Jiang Cheng's appearance.
If it weren't for Jiang Cheng, she would still be living in days of despair and helplessness.
But these few words from Jiang Cheng directly brought light back into Lin Qingxue's life.
This was the benefit of being by a powerful person's side.
The influence of the wealthy was very high.
Because many things that left ordinary people feeling powerless were trivial matters in their eyes.
Therefore, staying by their side would also become exceptionally relaxing.
Lin Qingxue had to admit that staying with Jiang Cheng was indeed a strong choice.
What woman could refuse such a man?
Although there might be many women around Jiang Cheng, and he didn't constantly follow her around like other boys did.
But what of it?
Lin Qingxue suddenly thought of Hao Liang, who had been pursuing her.
Hao Liang had been very attentive to her, checking on her every meal and being meticulous about every detail of her life.
But when it came to her mother's illness, not only did Hao Liang not offer to help.
Instead, he advised Lin Qingxue to give up.
To take a step back, even if she had met another affectionate boy, so what?
Aside from receiving affection, she wouldn't get anything else from being with them.
There's a saying online, "water drops..."
He wouldn't even be able to guarantee her mother's life.
What was the point of such a choice?
Like a wounded kitten that hadn't yet healed, Lin Qingxue threw herself into Jiang Cheng's arms and said with a choked voice, "Jiang Cheng, why are you so good to me?"
Seeing Lin Qingxue's favorability value soar to 92 points, Jiang Cheng's eyes couldn't help but flicker.
Jiang Cheng gently patted her back and then said slowly, "What do you think?"
Although Jiang Cheng didn't answer her question directly, Lin Qingxue's heart felt as if it had eaten honey.
Like other women, Jiang Cheng's rhetorical answer made her naturally assume that Jiang Cheng truly loved her.
Lin Qingxue listened to Jiang Cheng's powerful heartbeat while asking, "Aren't you afraid that I'm after something from you?"
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng smiled.
In fact, the best way to maintain a relationship was guilt.
Only when you felt guilty toward someone would you subconsciously want to make it up to them and be better to them when you were together.
Lin Qingxue had approached him because she wanted something from him.
That meant her demands and expectations in the relationship would inevitably not be that high.
Her tolerance for Jiang Cheng's polyamorous nature would also be greater.
So why would Jiang Cheng care about that?
"I'm only afraid you want nothing from me. Only useless men fear their women being a trouble to them. This problem of yours isn't much of a burden to me, so what do I have to fear?"
Hearing this, Lin Qingxue leaned into Jiang Cheng's embrace with even more dependence.
"Thank you, Jiang Cheng. I feel so lucky to have met you. After my mother fell ill, my father's hair turned white overnight. Watching the two people I love most suffer such pain while I was powerless... sometimes I felt like the most useless and miserable person in the world."
"But fortunately, I met you. Because of you, I have a chance to change things, and my mother has a chance for a new life. I really don't know how to..."
Jiang Cheng interrupted Lin Qingxue: "If you want to thank me, then eat well. There's no meat left when I pinch you..."
Lin Qingxue shyly slapped Jiang Cheng's hand, which was placed on her chest.
She muttered softly, "You're lying. I'm still developing lately. I even went up a size last week. How is that possible?"
"Is that so? Then maybe my way of touching is wrong. How about we try another spot?"
"You're terrible..."
Just as the two were embracing in a sweet moment.
One or two students passing by occasionally began to whisper.
"Oh my god, that man is so tall and handsome! He looks so familiar!"
"Is he... from our school? How come I never noticed him before?"
"Who's the girl in his arms? She's so lucky..."
"I suddenly feel like I'm quite introverted, because I don't even dare to go up and hug someone else's boyfriend. Wuwuwu~~"
Lin Qingxue realized the two of them had been staying there for quite a while.
Although many people had gone home for National Day, there were still one or two students at school.
Lin Qingxue immediately stood up straight and left Jiang Cheng's embrace, asking in a low voice, "How about we leave? You're too eye-catching. The female students in the school will be surrounding us soon."
Jiang Cheng nodded: "Then let's go. This isn't very convenient."
Hearing this, Lin Qingxue asked somewhat shyly, "Then where are we going now?"
Jiang Cheng turned his head to look at Lin Qingxue: "I have a house near here. How about we go there to rest for a bit?"
Jiang Cheng was very calm and natural when he said this, while Lin Qingxue, on the other hand, blushed immediately.
However, she didn't refuse, only asking softly, "Then wait for me a moment. My bag is still in the Milk Tea Shop. I just came out for lunch."
She had long been prepared to give herself to Jiang Cheng; it was just that a special situation had occurred last time.
Moreover, Jiang Cheng was so good to her that it was impossible for Lin Qingxue to refuse.
Without saying anything more, both of them were well aware of what was about to happen.
Soon, Jiang Cheng drove Lin Qingxue to the Food Street across from their school.
After opening the car door, Lin Qingxue said to Jiang Cheng, "Then wait for me a moment. I'll tell our boss and come out soon."
Seeing Jiang Cheng nod, she immediately stepped out and quickly walked into a franchised Milk Tea Shop of a certain brand ahead.
A few minutes later, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but frown slightly.
Seeing that Lin Qingxue hadn't come out yet, he opened the car door and walked inside.
It was currently noon, and the flow of people in the entire Food Street was clearly very low.
In the Milk Tea Shop where Lin Qingxue worked, there wasn't a single customer.
As soon as Jiang Cheng walked in, he found a middle-aged man standing at the counter, blocking Lin Qingxue and not letting her leave.
The two were arguing back and forth, completely failing to notice Jiang Cheng walking in.
Lin Qingxue was seen shouting at him angrily, "What do you mean by that? At worst, I just won't do this part-time job here anymore. Can you even control me?"
