Lingling, thank you for your concern. You don't have to worry about this." Wang Xue said coldly.
But Lingling did not stop, but continued:
"Lingling, aren't you short of money? Don't say I'm not a good friend. I'm the manager of the Love Bar now. If you're willing, you can come to our bar and work as a lady. With my help, it won't be a problem for you to make 50,000 or 60,000 a month."
Wang Xue had already opened the door at this time.
"Thank you, but no thanks."
"Lin Yun, let's go inside."
After Wang Xue finished speaking, she went straight into the house with Lin Yun.
After entering the house.
"Wang Xue, they are your neighbors after all, how could they be so hateful?"
Lin Yun was filled with anger when he thought about what the mother and daughter had just said.
If Wang Xue hadn't pulled him back, Lin Yun would definitely have taught them a lesson.
"Actually, Lingling and I grew up together. We were good friends and classmates when we were young," said Wang Xue.
"Oh? Then you guys..." Lin Yun seemed very curious. It seemed that Lingling was targeting Wang Xue. How could they be good friends?
Wang Xue lowered her head and recalled the past:
"When I was in high school, Lingling had a boyfriend. One day, her boyfriend secretly confessed his love to me. After I rejected him, he told Lingling that I seduced him. Lingling came and called me a whore and a slut. No matter how I explained, she would not listen. From that day on, she broke off the relationship with me."
After hearing this, Lin Yun finally understood.
Wang Xue continued, "Ever since she severed ties with me, she and her mother have often intentionally or unintentionally humiliated me and said bad things about me. Especially after Lingling became the bar manager, her mother became even more fond of mocking me, saying that I was not as good as her daughter."
After Wang Xue said this, she felt aggrieved, her eyes were red and tears were welling up in her eyes.
"Damn it!" Lin Yun narrowed his eyes, with some anger burning in them.
Wang Xue is just a weak woman, but she has to endure these unwarranted humiliations. Lin Yun is angry on behalf of Wang Xue.
Lin Yun made up his mind to help Wang Xue.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I invited you to dinner today, so let's not talk about these unhappy things. Please take a seat."
Wang Xue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile.
At Wang Xue's invitation, Lin Yun sat on an old sofa.
Lin Yun looked around and found that Wang Xue's house was small and old, but very tidy.
"By the way, Wang Xue, where are your parents?" Lin Yun asked curiously.
Lin Yun didn't see Wang Xue's parents at all.
"My...my father died early, and my mother...she is also bedridden now." Wang Xue said with her head down.
Lin Yun was stunned. Wang Xue also came from a single-parent family? Her father also died early? You know, Lin Yun was also like this.
"Lin Yun, I'll take you to meet my mother."
Wang Xue took Lin Yun to a bedroom.
On the hospital bed in the bedroom, there lay a thin, sallow-faced middle-aged woman who looked very mentally ill.
Needless to say, this bedridden middle-aged woman must be Wang Xue's mother.
To be honest, Lin Yun felt heartbroken after seeing her.
"Mom, this is my classmate Lin Yun." Wang Xue forced a smile. Perhaps she didn't want to bring her bad mood to her mother.
"Hello, classmate. I... I am not feeling well, so I cannot stand up to welcome you." Wang Xue's mother's voice was a little weak.
"You're too polite, Auntie." Lin Yun also forced a smile.
"Xue'er, did you have a good time at school today?" Wang Xue's mother asked with concern.
"Don't worry, Mom. I'm fine." Wang Xue said with a smile. She didn't dare tell her mother about any grievances she had suffered because it would only make her worry in vain.
"That's good. Xue'er, go and cook for the guests." Wang Xue's mother forced a pale smile.
After coming out of the bedroom.
"Wang Xue, is my aunt's illness serious? Why doesn't she go for treatment?" Lin Yun asked.
Wang Xue lowered her head and said in a low voice:
"I can't help it. The hospitalization and medical expenses are too expensive. I can't afford it. Even if I live at home, I can't afford the medicine every month."
After hearing what Wang Xue said, Lin Yun felt even more uncomfortable.
Wang Xue has no father and her mother is bedridden. The burden of life falls entirely on this weak woman. She has too much to bear!
"You went to the bar to sing and make money, just to earn money for medical expenses, right? And the reason you care so much about the scholarship is because of this, right?" Lin Yun said.
Lin Yun now finally understands Wang Xue's behavior.
"Yeah." Wang Xue nodded slightly.
"Wang Xue, you must have suffered a lot over the years." Lin Yun couldn't help but say.
Lin Yun could fully understand Wang Xue and even empathize with her, because Lin Yun also came from a single-parent family and his father died early, so they had similar experiences.
The difference is that he is luckier than Wang Xue because his mother is not bedridden and can still work, so the burden does not fall entirely on Lin Yun.
The luckiest thing is that he is actually Liu Zhizhong's grandson.
"Whether it's bitter or not, I've gotten through it anyway." Wang Xue showed a bitter smile.
After a pause, Wang Xue continued, "If my mother hadn't asked me to finish college, I would have dropped out and started working."
When Lin Yun thought of Wang Xue's experiences and her misfortunes, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
Lin Yun couldn't imagine how a girl could survive all these years.
Lin Yun couldn't imagine how strong Wang Xue had to be to withstand all this.
It is because Wang Xue has experienced the heavy pressure of life that she is so special and sensible compared to other girls.
"Wang Xue, believe me, everything will be fine soon." Lin Yun said seriously.
Although Wang Xue was unfortunate, she met Lin Yun, which was a blessing in disguise for him!
"Get better? I hope." Wang Xue looked up at the ceiling.
Wang Xue knew that making everything better would be extremely difficult.
Because the money needed to cure her mother was too much, unless she took the wrong path, she would not be able to earn that much money after graduation and working.
Wang Xue no longer dared to expect too much.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. I'll go cook." Wang Xue smiled to avoid an awkward atmosphere.
Then, Wang Xue was busy cooking.
Lin Yun sat in the small living room and fell into deep thought.
Lin Yun could just reveal his identity and then give Wang Xue a large sum of money to help Wang Xue solve her financial problems.
However, the last time Lin Yun gave money to Wang Xue, Wang Xue returned all the money to Lin Yun, so Lin Yun was worried that if he gave her the money directly, she would refuse.
"We have to find another way."
Lin Yun murmured, and at the same time, he already had an idea in his mind.
Not long after, Wang Xue prepared the meal.
Three dishes and one soup, all ordinary home-cooked meals, but good enough for Wang Xue. If it wasn't for entertaining Lin Yun, she wouldn't cook so many dishes normally, as it would be such a waste.
After the meal was ready, Wang Xue took a portion of the food and sent it to her mother's room.
On the table.
"Lin Yun, try it." Wang Xue showed a playful smile.
"Okay!"
You can't wait to pick up the chopsticks.
"It's delicious!"
After taking a bite, Lin Yun had an exaggerated expression on his face.
Seeing Lin Yun's exaggerated expression, Wang Xue couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh:
"Lin Yun, please don't be so exaggerated. The food I cook is not that delicious."
"It's really delicious. I am admiring it from the bottom of my heart. Your cooking skills are really great!" Lin Yun said with a smile.
Lin Yun was indeed telling the truth. Although they were all simple home-cooked dishes, Lin Yun found that Wang Xue's cooking was very delicious.
"You are so virtuous. Whoever can marry you in the future will be blessed." Lin Yun said with a smile.
"Stop making fun of me. With my family conditions and a sick mother, only a fool would marry me." Wang Xue pouted.
"That's not necessarily true. What if there really is a fool?" Lin Yun smiled.
"Okay, okay, if you really think the food I cook is delicious and if you like it, you can come and eat it often." Wang Xue smiled.
"Wang Xue, we are just classmates. It's not good for me to come and eat for free often. And if I come to your house often, aren't you afraid that others will misunderstand that we are a couple?" Lin Yun said with a smile.
When Wang Xue heard Lin Yun say this, a blush suddenly appeared on her pretty face.
