Chapter 1072: Chapter 139 Rebirth_7
What Zhao Yu hadn’t expected was that Hao Jingjing’s favorability rating had actually reached 61 points.
Is it that easy?
Zhao Yu felt slightly pleased, as they had only chatted for a short while, and the score had already risen from the fifties to the passing mark. Just nine more points, and it ant he could withdraw fifty thousand yuan.
Of course, that was according to the system’s description of being able to withdraw fifty thousand. Whether it would actually work still needed to be tested.
“It was a small matter, I just couldn’t bear to see her yelling at you…” Zhao Yu didn’t tell the truth, not saying that he did it to show off in front of Su Xinxin.
“You have no idea how you looked at the ti, you were about to cry from feeling so wronged. I couldn’t stand it and rcifully saved you. For my great kindness, how will you repay ?!”
...
Zhao Yu had sent the ssage in a teasing tone.
Unexpectedly, what he hadn’t anticipated was that Hao Jingjing would actually respond earnestly, “I will always rember your great kindness in my heart, I know you need money right now…”
“Although I don’t have money either, I can save up to two hundred yuan each month…”
Hao Jingjing seed to feel that was too little and quickly added, “Ah no, three hundred yuan…”
“You’re really stingy, aren’t you? You make eighty or ninety yuan a day from your part-ti job, you must earn a few thousand a month, right?” Zhao Yu continued to tease her on purpose.
“It’s not like that…”
This ti, Hao Jingjing spoke in her own voice, rare for her to raise her head, wanting to look Zhao Yu in the eye.
But as soon as their eyes t, Hao Jingjing moved away as if she was guilty, eventually lowering her head again and saying quietly, “My money is needed…”
“My money has a use…”
“What did you say?”
Zhao Yu, however, was stunned. When he had looked into Hao Jingjing’s eyes just now, he had gotten a complete view of her face for the first ti.
What he hadn’t expected was that Hao Jingjing’s face was even more innocent and pretty than he had imagined.
It’s just that she would blush from ti to ti, and with her head down and leaning forward, her hair covering her face, her presence seed weak, making others instinctively want to overlook her.
Hao Jingjing didn’t notice that Zhao Yu was distracted by her face; she hastily pulled out her phone and began to type quickly.
Seconds later, Zhao Yu’s phone pinged.
He then snapped back to reality and looked at his phone, which read,
“There’s a sick person in my family, we need money…”
Zhao Yu then realized why Hao Jingjing had started working part-ti as soon as she enrolled, grabbing every kind of poverty aid available and always appearing miserly.
In the past, he seed to have heard others say that Hao Jingjing only had two sets of clothes when she started college, which she would wash and alternate between.
Especially now, in the month of May, as the weather gradually ward up, Hao Jingjing still wore an ugly, sowhat thick cotton coat.
Although she had explained that she was afraid of the cold due to poor circulation, many could tell at a glance that she simply didn’t have clothes for the off-season.
During this ambiguous weather between winter and sumr, she either had to wear short sleeves or continue wearing her cotton coat.
But wearing short sleeves would draw too much attention, so she kept wearing her cotton coat, using her claid cold sensitivity as an excuse.
“Who in your family is sick, what do your parents do, don’t they have any money?”
Zhao Yu couldn’t help but want to know more about Hao Jingjing.
His family was poor as well, but at least his dad was still in his pri years. Although he was a migrant worker, he was still able to earn money.
Moreover, coming from a family of farrs for generations, having him as the only college student, the family treasured him greatly. They spared him all that they could; anything he needed was given to him, and they would provide him with as much money as they could, never causing him any distress.
“I don’t have parents; I was raised by my grandma. She has a tumor and is in the hospital right now…”
“I thought about taking a leave to take care of her, but dical expenses are so expensive, I must earn money…”
“I even considered stopping school and working full-ti to make more money…”
“But my grandma wouldn’t let do that. She wants to finish college and have a better future. She also said that if I quit school, she would refuse treatnt…”
As she spoke, Hao Jingjing began to cry. Naturally, with her character, she silently shed tears without making a sound.
But Zhao Yu was by her side; how could he not hear her crying?
He hadn’t expected that Hao Jingjing’s life was so tragic, and he quickly took out a tissue and handed it over.
As soon as Zhao Yu handed it to her, Hao Jingjing found an outlet and began to cry aloud, the sobs growing more heart-wrenching.
Fortunately, they were on the secluded sixth floor, and nobody noticed what was happening here.
Really…
Zhao Yu sighed deeply; he truly hadn’t expected soone as young as Hao Jingjing to be shouldering such heavy burdens.
He then asked, “Then haven’t you applied for any assistance from organizations?”
“I have~~have~~have~~!”
Hao Jingjing replied, her voice stuttering and hiccuping.
Seeing this, Zhao Yu shook his head and said, “Never mind, we’ll talk about this later, go ahead and cry, it’ll feel better to let it out!”
Hearing this, Hao Jingjing stopped talking and let herself cry.
Of course, even her full out crying was just making a tiny bit of noise; she was still very restrained, but it was much better compared to before.
For so reason, seeing Hao Jingjing like this, Zhao Yu felt a pang of heartache.
Subconsciously, he lifted his arm and gently placed it on Hao Jingjing’s back, lightly patting her.
“It’s okay, things will get better gradually…”
