Chapter 824: My Difficulty is Being Cold-hearted
At half past nine in the evening, Ren Xinghe, who had taken a shower, sat under the lamp, preparing to study quickly.
However, when she opened math revision book and saw the few words written on the homepage, she couldn’t help but felt taken aback. She didn’t know if the old man saw it.
The college entrance examination was about to take place in less than three months. Ren Xinghe accepted the collection of questions and was about to turn to the revision book to see how Ku Jie wrote her to solve the problem, but at this time, her mother suddenly called her.
Ren Xinghe held his breath and connected the phone: “Mom.”
“I heard that you moved out of Ren family’s mamsion? Is there such a thing?” Ren Xinghe’s mother asked angrily on the other side of the phone, “Why do you want to move out? You left just that adulterous couple in that house There is also your share. Do you hope that a random woman will come out to compete with you for the family property?”
After hearing these words, Ren Xinghe’s expression turned pale.
Had she been too ecstatic recently?
“I don’t care why you moved out so quickly, and you even brought the old lady of the Ren family with you. You are too courageous. If anything were to happen to the old lady, what will you do? Xinghe, you are an adult, so can you use more of your brain instead of acting like an idiot? I have a hard time using shares to control your dad. Can you give me a bit of resilience too?”
“If you don’t move back, then don’t take the college entrance examination! Would it even be useful to go to a good school? Guarding your father’s wealth is the most important thing.”
“I will give you three days to move back in. Otherwise, I will go to school to find your teacher.”
“In the past, you told me that studying is the only way out for me. You told me that as long as I study well, there is hope in my life. Now you suddenly come to ask me, is it useful to get into a good school?” Ren Xinghe couldn’t believe it. She asked her mother on the phone with tears, “Am I a tool for your adults to use to retaliate against one another?”
“I asked you to study hard in the past because your dad would love you because of your good grades, but now he wants a son. So, what else are you studying for? Ren Xinghe, mom is doing all this for you!”
Ren Xinghe hammered her right hand weakly, and sneered: “Actually, you guys want to kill me, right?”
“Ren Xinghe!”
“Why? Why do you always smash my will a little bit when I feel that I have hope? I always thought that you and the Ren family are different because at least, you want me to become a talent. I only understand your real purpose now. You just don’t want to allow that woman at home to gain any advantage or benefits because you hate them. But even if you hate it, why use me as a weapon? Am I heartless? Or in your eyes, I will never be sad? You make me feel sicker than they do!”
After finis.h.i.+ng speaking, Ren Xinghe hung up the phone. She wanted to smash her cell phone, but she was reluctant to do so because there was still someone else there that she wanted to contact.
After putting the phone aside, Ren Xinghe was lying on the bed feebly, as she felt the feeling of powerlessness filled her body again.
Every time, when she felt that she was about to break free from this vortex, someone would drag her back to h.e.l.l again.
Why should such a person drag others down?
Ren Xinghe thought sadly.
Perhaps because she heard the noise in her room, Grandma Ren pushed the door and walked in. Seeing Ren Xinghe lying on the bed, she understood everything that happened in her heart: “Little Star, come to grandma.”
Ren Xinghe cried and rushed over, then cried: “Grandma, I don’t seem to have a future.”
“Nonsense.” Grandma Ren touched her head to comfort, “Our little star has such good grades, how can there be no future?”
“Grandma, I’m scared…I’m really scared.” Ren Xinghe was buried in her grandma’s arms and she felt most desperate.
Grandma Ren felt very distressed, but there’s was nothing that she could do. For so many years, she could only watch her granddaughter suffer all the grievances, but could do anything for her, she could only do it the way she always did: “Sleep, good girl, sleep and everything is fine. Okay?”
Ren Xinghe was afraid of her grandma’s sadness, so she nodded.
Grandma Ren stayed in Ren Xinghe’s room until she fell asleep. Then, Grandma Ren picked up Ren Xinghe’s mobile phone and found Ku Jie’s WeChat account while wearing her reading gla.s.ses, and used her cell phone to request to add him as a friend.
This thing, of course, was taught to her by her little granddaughter. Fortunately, Ku Jie’s name has no special symbols, which saved the elderly from finding alien characters.
In the middle of the night, Ku Jie went to the small courtyard to help at the request of his grandmother.
When he entered the door, Ren Xinghe was already asleep. Grandma Ren sat on the chair and explained to Ku Jie: “Little Star is asleep and tired of crying.”
Ku Jie was taken aback.
“My child, grandma has heart disease, and my health is occasionally good and bad sometimes. I can’t help Little Star too much. I’m even a burden to her but Little Star is unwilling to give up on me. The reason why I called you here tonight is to tell you a few things. In any case, please make sure that Little Star takes the college entrance examination. Her biological parents are not humans, and no one cares about her life. My Little Star just shouted desperately that she had no future and my heart hurrts to death.”
“Grandma had no one else to find. Since she believe in you, grandma also believes in you. Grandma only has so much savings. I only hope you can give her a little warmth. Even if that can’t be done, I hope you can help her live through the most important thing. Difficulties.”
In front of Ku Jie, there was a bank card.
Although he didn’t knew the above amount, Ku Jie knew that this was the old woman’s possession.
“Accept it, boy. I don’t know what you think of Xinghe, but I can’t let the both of us be your burden. After all, we are not relatives.”
Ku Jie shook his head and said to the old woman: “Grandma, money is meaningless to me. You just need to tell me what happened to Xinghe at night.”
The old woman sighed for a long time before shaking her head as she sneered and told Ku Jie what she had just heard from the little star.
“Xinghe has been working hard all the time because her mother told her that studying is useful and can change her life. However, tonight her mother personally exposed this lie. I can feel the despair in Xinghe’s heart. In an instant, she…want to give up on herself.”
“But for so many individuals, is it worth it?”
“I want to pull her out of the abyss…But, I am an old woman who is really powerless. I know my body and I can’t hold on for too long.”
“So , you…”
“I will make sure that she takes the college entrance examination smoothly.” Ku Jie promised Grandma Ren, “I will also extend a helping hand to her as soon as she is ready to step into society.”
With Ku Jie’s financial resources, it would not be difficult to do anything, but the premise was that that person was willing to stand up by herself.
“Then what about you? Do you have any difficulties to overcome?”
When he heard Grandma Ren’s question, Ku Jie thought about it, and replied: “My difficulty is being cold hearted, but now this heart seems to have a crack open. Grandma, I am also an indifferent person, so I don’t know if I am dragging Xinghe along or whether Xinghe is dragging me.”
