BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22: Let Her Be
Chapter 22
"What\'s your name?" Li Man asked the woman.
"My name is Xiaoxiao," the woman replied, her voice soft and sweet.
Li Man turned to Coco and said, "She\'s the one."
"Okay, the rest of you can leave. Xiaoxiao, stay," Coco said to the other women.
The women dispersed, leaving only Xiaoxiao, who seemed a bit shy.
Li Man invited her to sit on the sofa, but Xiaoxiao blushed and refused. "It\'s okay, I can stand," she said.
Li Man seemed to have something in mind, but she didn\'t force the issue. "I want you to find a way to get close to a man and have sex with him without any protection. Can you do that?" she asked bluntly.
Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Yes, I can."
Li Man took out a stack of money from her bag and handed it to Xiaoxiao. "This ten thousand yuan is a deposit. After the job is done, I\'ll pay you the balance."
Li Man had taken the money out of her personal account and had to explain to Huang De Han why she had spent so much. She told him she had enrolled their daughter in a cram school to cover it up. If he knew that the money was being used to hire someone to get back at him, he would probably be furious.
Xiaoxiao took the money without hesitation and said, "Send me his contact information."
Li Man took out her phone, added Xiaoxiao on WeChat, and sent Huang De Han\'s photo and phone number.
"Got it. You can wait for my good news!" Xiaoxiao said confidently.
After Xiaoxiao left, Coco said, "Poor Xiaoxiao. She got infected with an STD on her first job."
"What disease did she get?" Gu Ya asked curiously.
"Gonorrhea!" Coco said regretfully. "Xiaoxiao is a college student. She wouldn\'t have done this if her father hadn\'t been seriously ill and needed money. She\'s a good kid, but now she\'s ruined."
"What disease does her father have? Why doesn\'t she seek help from the community through crowdfunding platforms?" Gu Ya asked.
"Her father has uremia and is still in the ICU. She tried crowdfunding, but it\'s not enough. The platform also takes a cut, and the money she receives is not enough to cover her father\'s daily medical expenses," Coco sighed. "When I found out, I helped her start a fundraising campaign. But this disease is like a bottomless pit. No amount of money is enough. Xiaoxiao is filial, and she wants to earn money to get her father a kidney transplant."
Gu Ya listened quietly, pursing her lips. She knew firsthand how hard it was for children from poor families. That was why she had to marry into a wealthy family, even if it meant sacrificing her own happiness.
Her husband is 25 years older than her.
She is 37 years old this year, and her husband is already 62 years old, two years older than her father.
She married her husband not because of love, but because he is wealthy.
Gu Ya\'s lifelong wish has always been to marry a rich man, because she was afraid of being poor and didn\'t want to live a life of hunger and deprivation.
She was born in a poor rural family. How poor were they?
They were so poor that they couldn\'t even afford salt!
In her childhood memories, she never had enough to eat or warm clothes to wear.
Her mother went to work with other women from the same village and after seeing the bustling outside world, she refused to come back.
Her father left her and her younger brother, saying he was going to look for their mother, but he never came back.
