Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 623: Pitiful Are the Hearts of Parents

Xu Xiangbei pretended to be asleep in bed. After a while, the dancer began to take off his coat.

If she were a top beauty, Xu Xiangbei might have tolerated it, but the dancer was only average in appearance, so Xu Xiangbei had to open his squinted eyes and then sit up from the bed.

"Ah..." The dancer was so frightened that she jumped off the bed.

"Why are you awake?"

"Why shouldn’t I be awake?" Xu Xiangbei laughed as he sat on the bed, staring straight at the dancer, as if trying to see through her.

"Weren’t you supposed to be unconscious? Besides, didn’t he drug you heavily..." the dancer stammered nervously.

"It seems you know quite a bit. Why don’t you tell me everything you know?" Xu Xiangbei said with a smile, then grabbed the dancer.

With a light touch on her body, Xiao Qiulian felt an excruciating pain all over, as if being pierced by needles, or roasted on a fire like Purgatory, an increasingly unbearable feeling.

"What did you do to me?" Her body trembled as she looked at Xu Xiangbei, as if she were facing a demon.

"I didn’t do much, just wanted you to tell the truth, using a little trick," Xu Xiangbei’s calm words seemed to resonate as if coming from a demon to her.

"Ugh...ugh... I beg you, let me go, I’ll talk... I’ll say anything..." Xiao Qiulian lay on the bed, rolling incessantly, then kowtowed to Xu Xiangbei, shouting.

Xu Xiangbei lightly tapped her again, making Xiao Qiulian feel her whole body relax, drenched in sweat as if she had been fished out of the water.

"Young Master Wei, he drugged you into unconsciousness, and then told me to sleep with you..." the woman quivered as she said.

"I’m afraid it’s not that simple!"

"He also told me to take photos of us in bed and then post them online..." Xiao Qiulian spoke cautiously, seeing no change in Xu Xiangbei’s expression.

"He is really ruthless! Trying to ruin my reputation!"

"The key is I... I’m sick." Xiao Qiulian finally mustered up the courage to say.

"Hmm?" Xu Xiangbei immediately stepped forward to feel her pulse, discovering her pulse was erratic, she had a severe sexually transmitted disease, and might not live long, plus it was contagious.

"So what is he planning to do with Hu Qingyu?" Xu Xiangbei’s face grew darker.

"I don’t know..."

"How much did Wei Bang give you?"

"Three, three thousand..."

"This money is useless to you, you won’t live long anyway?"

"It’s useless to me indeed, but I have a daughter, what will she do if I die? I just want to make more money for her before I die?" Thinking of her daughter, Xiao Qiulian’s face showed a gentle smile.

"How old is your daughter?"

"16 years old."

"Is she pretty?" Xu Xiangbei suddenly asked, with a mischievous grin on his face.

His words seemed to touch her most sensitive nerve, causing Xiao Qiulian to scream and reach for Xu Xiangbei.

"Kill me or flay me, but come at me, don’t touch my daughter!"

"You dare lay a hand on me, do you want to taste that pain again?" Xu Xiangbei threatened deliberately.

Hearing his words, Xiao Qiulian shrank back in fear, but finally gathered her resolve.

"If that’s the case, then just kill me, but remember, it’s wrongs have origins, debts have owners, I may have meant you harm, but it has nothing to do with others, especially my daughter. If you dare do anything to her, I, Xiao Qiulian, won’t spare you even as a ghost!"

She then rushed towards the wall, but fortunately, Xu Xiangbei reached out and held her firmly.

She struggled desperately, shouting, "Let me die, let me die."

"Rest assured, I won’t harm your daughter! Besides, if you die, what about her? She’s only 16!" Xu Xiangbei’s words were like a thunderclap, striking at her softest heart.

"I..." Xiao Qiulian said, then started crying, hugging her head, "I don’t want to die either, but the doctor said I won’t live long, my disease is incurable. My daughter is only 16, so young, so beautiful, with only me as her relative. Without me, how will she live? Who will support her, who will give her money to study? What if it’s cold and she freezes? What if someone bullies her?"

She spoke while tears flowed...

Xu Xiangbei watching this scene, felt a pang of compassion, for there’s nothing as profound as parental love!

"Actually, you don’t have to die?" His words were like a torch in the darkness, illuminating Xiao Qiulian’s entire world.

She was stunned for a long time before returning to her senses, incredibly surprised, "How is that possible? The doctors all said I won’t live long, I also want to live."

"Your illness, others can’t cure, but I can." Xu Xiangbei spoke calmly, looking at Xiao Qiulian with much more kindness. A mother willing to give up her life for her daughter is great. If not for wanting to earn a little more money for her daughter before dying, she would never have agreed to Wei Bang’s despicable deeds.

"Can you really do it?" Xiao Qiulian grabbed Xu Xiangbei’s hand excitedly, like clutching a torch in the dark night, no matter how dark the night, this small light brightened everything.

"What condition do you want? You’re not going to want my daughter..." She seemed to realize something, confident in her daughter’s youthful beauty. Her daughter was only 16, and already so beautiful, how could she not cause mischief when she grows up?

Xiao Qiulian desperately protected this young innocent flower, even at the cost of her life, she wouldn’t let anyone harm her.

"You can’t, you absolutely can’t..." This condition I will never agree to, you better give up. Xiao Qiulian shook her head decisively, showing a face of resolute determination and indescribable sadness.

"What are you thinking? No conditions, I’m helping you for free. Besides, I haven’t met your daughter, she’s only 16, would I be such a beast?" Xu Xiangbei felt speechless with Xiao Qiulian. He just wanted to help someone for free, yet it seemed as if he had ulterior motives. Is doing good deeds this hard?

"Impossible, can there be such good people in this world? Especially men’s words, absolutely not to be trusted, don’t I know what men are like?" Xiao Qiulian shook her head, a hint of resentment in her eyes when speaking of men.

"Is there something wrong with your head? Are all men as bad as you think? Why do you always feel I have ulterior motives? What do you have worth scheming over?" Xu Xiangbei felt he couldn’t communicate with Xiao Qiulian. If not for witnessing her great maternal love, he wouldn’t bother with this matter.

"Hmph, you’re all like this, saying one thing and doing another. Back then, I trusted a man’s words, only to be deceived by that bastard Dai Sanyuan, swindling money and hurting me.

Not only did he deceive most of my savings, but left us in debt. In order to pay it off and support my daughter, I had to do immoral business. I’ve seen too many men during that time, all the same. Men are no good, they want a woman’s body, and after getting it, they don’t cherish it, and abandon them when they’re old and fading.

I thought as my daughter grew up and the debts were nearly settled, I could live uprightly, but didn’t expect to get this disease, caused by you men’s sins, why is my destiny so bitter?"

Before Xu Xiangbei could say anything, Xiao Qiulian spat out a string of grievances, lamenting her life, describing men as worthless, as if they were her greatest enemies.

It wasn’t her fault, there are always scumbags in society, and she happened to encounter them, leading to her tragic fate.

"Alas, it’s just your misfortune to meet those scumbags. Most people are good. You met me, this is Heaven pitying you, handing you over to me, I promise to cure your illness!" Xu Xiangbei felt immense sympathy for her plight.

"Really?" Xiao Qiulian still seemed uncertain.

"What do you have worth scheming over? No matter how beautiful your daughter is, she can’t be prettier than my future wife. Someday I’ll take you to meet her, then you’ll know there’s truly nothing of yours I want!" Xu Xiangbei felt utterly speechless, a classic case of once bitten, twice shy!

He just wanted to say: You silly, you are really overly suspicious, maybe because you’ve been hurt too deeply!
