Chapter 473: Chapter 230: Would You Be Willing to Buy Qianhe?
Qianhe thought that this little sister named Su Huaixi was a very kind person, beautiful, and intelligent. In the future, she would definitely marry a very handsome and wealthy man. This was Qianhe’s deepest impression after first meeting Su Huaixi.
Of course, many years later, when Qianhe looked back on these past events, she wouldn’t dare to mention this "thought" in front of Su Huaixi at all. Thinking of her as virtuous and suitable for marriage was indeed overthinking... Kindness and all that, it was completely an illusion, an illusion.
After coaxing away the clueless Su Qinwu, Su Huaixi walked over and squatted down beside Qianhe, turning to ask her, "Shall we take your uncle to the hospital? He’s seriously injured. If he doesn’t receive timely treatment, he won’t be able to keep not just his hands, but even his life..."
Qianhe looked at the other person expressionlessly, then slowly shook her head. Her gaze shifted to her uncle, who was bleeding from all seven orifices, and she said something Su Huaixi couldn’t understand, "No, we still won’t go to the hospital. If we go to the hospital, we will lose my uncle..."
Huaixi was surprised, "If you’re worried about the Credit Points, I can help you pay... Don’t worry, I have pocket money."
Qianhe pursed her lips, her small, dry hands tightly gripping the corner of her uncle’s clothes, who was already unconscious and breathing weakly. Tears shimmered in her eyes, yet she stubbornly said, "No! We absolutely cannot go!"
Su Huaixi didn’t understand, but he couldn’t just sit and watch Qianhe’s uncle die in front of him. Just as he was trying to think of a way, the unconscious man slowly opened a slit of his eyes. After a long while, he finally saw Qianhe and struggled to speak, "Xiao He is back..."
"Uncle... how do you feel, is it very painful?" Qianhe raised her hand to hold his hand that reached out, her eyes red.
"Not bad... can’t die just yet..." The man’s face was extremely dirty, covered in messy stubble, his hair disheveled and clumped together, his skin layered with grime, who knows how many days it hadn’t been cleaned. In short, he was a very shabby vagrant and was not far from death, "Letting Xiao He... see me like this... Uncle is really useless..."
"Uncle..." Qianhe raised her elbow to wipe the tears from her face, sobbing as she asked, "Can’t we go to the hospital?"
Huaixi was surprised, then turned his gaze to the man. From what Qianhe said, it seemed not going to the hospital was this man’s decision? Otherwise, Qianhe’s words wouldn’t be so contradictory. Actually, Huaixi was also puzzled, although these people didn’t have formal citizenship, but if they went to the hospital, they could receive proper treatment... It’s just that after being treated, they would be deported to a poor planet.
Then, the man’s words confirmed Huaixi’s suspicion. This man indeed didn’t want to go to the hospital, and he strongly resisted it!
"Uncle... can I be honest with you, your situation is very bad. If you don’t go to the hospital, you might not make it through today... Qianhe is still young, if she loses you, how will she survive here?" Huaixi interjected.
It was only then that the man seemed to notice Huaixi’s existence. When their eyes met, Huaixi felt something very out of place! Yes, out of place! Although this man’s appearance looked like a vagrant, those eyes were very similar to Uncle Ningxuan’s!
Of course, it’s not that he suspected this vagrant was his Uncle Ningxuan, but because the feeling in those eyes was completely unlike that of a vagrant worn out by a confused and exhausting life!
"You are?" the other said, then turned his head sharply as he coughed, his face flushed with a tendency to turn purplish, "Xiao He’s friend?"
"Yes, I guess you could say that." Huaixi glanced at his hands, resting softly on the ground. Judging by his observation, the arm fractures must be severe... that wicked old lady before was truly heartless, to be so cruel to a vagrant who had no ability to fight back!
Huaixi was a kind child. Influenced by Su Jiameng, he held a deep respect for life, "Uncle, whether for your own sake or for Qianhe’s, please make a trip to the hospital. I’ll cover the medical expenses, and you won’t be deported to a poor planet..."
The man seemed to have heard something amusing. His lips curled slightly, managing with difficulty to produce an unsightly smile. To this handsome and kind-hearted boy, he felt an immediate liking upon first glance.
If... if there hadn’t been any misfortune, maybe Qianhe could still be friends with him, and grow up to find a good match... Alas, it’s really destiny playing tricks... Now, no matter whom Qianhe marries, it will seem like she’s marrying above her station in others’ eyes.
