Living in a small county town, earning a million a year

Chapter 15 brings him closer to Bai Xue.

She understood that Tang Mochen was intentionally grooming her.

She knew that Tang Mochen had helped her with this matter, but after all, Tang Mochen and Liu Jianguo were brothers who started a business together.

Mr. Tang must be in a very difficult position, caught in the middle.

Furthermore, large corporations like theirs are definitely looking to minimize or eliminate problems.

All Bai Xue could do was accept the apology.

She understands human relationships and social dynamics.

"no problem!"

"Liu Yang, get over here right now and kneel down to apologize to Secretary Bai!"

"Bai Xue, I'm so sorry... I was drunk and made a mistake. Please give me a chance to make amends!"

Liu Yang was nowhere to be seen as arrogant and domineering as before.

In front of his own father, he was just a little white rabbit.

Xu Mu couldn't help but laugh when he saw this.

Liu Yang may seem like a spoiled brat, but he's also quite clever.

He knew he had no father and was nothing.

He's not even as good as those blond-haired, energetic young men on the street.

"That's settled then!" Bai Xue's voice was a little hoarse as she stood up with difficulty and came to Tang Mochen's side. "Thank you, Mr. Tang."

"Get a room upstairs tonight and get some rest," Tang Mochen said softly, patting Bai Xue's shoulder with concern. "I'll give you an explanation for this matter. I hope it won't affect you."

"Thank you."

Bai Xue didn't say much.

Xu Mu then helped Bai Xue and led Tong Wu out of the private room.

Next is Tang Mochen's matter, which has nothing to do with Xu Mu.

"Assistant Bai, where are you going?"

"Go home or stay in a hotel? If you stay in a hotel, I'll get you a room."

"I'll send it back to you as soon as I get home."

Xu Mu helped Bai Xue up, but they kept a certain distance between them.

Although he also admired Bai Xue's looks, especially her pitiful appearance after being bullied, any man would feel an urge to protect her.

But Xu Mu wasn't the kind of person to take advantage of someone's misfortune.

"Take me home," Bai Xue said softly. "I need to take a shower and change my clothes at home before going to the hospital to be with my mother!"

"By the way, Mr. Xu, you can call me Bai Xue. Thank you for tonight. I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow."

"It was no trouble at all." Xu Mu laughed. "Didn't you help me show off in the White Crane Hall tonight? Let's consider the two things canceled out, and we can skip dinner."

“The nature of these two situations is different. You saved my life, while I only did a small favor!”

Please do not refuse.

"Don't be so polite! Okay!" Xu Mu nodded. "But since you told me to call you Bai Xue, don't call me Mr. Xu anymore. It sounds awkward. You're a little older than me, so just call me Xu Mu or Xiao Mu."

"I don't like such formal titles."

"Okay, Xu... Xiao Mu."

After arriving at the hotel entrance with Bai Xue, Xu Mu looked at Tong Wu and said, "Xiao Wu, I won't see you off."

"You should go back early, I'll take Sister Baixue home."

"Okay bro."

Tong Wu had learned a lot from following Xu Mu today, and seeing that Xu Mu still had things to do, he didn't plan to stay any longer.

Anyway, my brothers have plenty of time to make plans again.

After watching Tong Wu leave, Xu Mu looked at Bai Xue and asked, "Sister Bai Xue, how did you get here?"

"Take a taxi."

"Okay, then I'll take you there on my electric scooter, don't mind."

"It's okay." Bai Xue shook her head. "Xiao Mu, at least you have an electric scooter. I don't even have one. I usually take taxis..."

"However, my home is not far away, it's in Longyue behind the People's Hospital, and that's where I rent my apartment."

"What are you doing living there?" Xu Mu asked curiously.

Although the houses in Longyue were not cheap, Xu Mu always felt that it was unlucky to live behind the People's Hospital.

"It's convenient for taking care of my mom."

"Excuse me, what's wrong with you, Auntie?"

"I have late-stage liver cancer. The doctor said that if I undergo chemotherapy for a period of time to prevent metastasis, there is still a chance of recovery. However, the cost of chemotherapy is 40,000 to 50,000 yuan per month. Sigh..."

Thinking about this, Bai Xue couldn't help but sigh.

"Ding!"

"The system has issued a task, the target of which is Bai Xue."

"Bai Xue: Her mother is sick, her father works, her younger brother is in school, and due to liver cancer, the family is 700,000 yuan in debt and has no house or car."

"Mission objective: Help Bai Xue heal her mother!"

"Reward: One blind box and 50 experience points."

Xu Mu didn't expect that the system's voice would ring in his mind as soon as Bai Xue finished speaking.

However, Xu Mu only had one response: "?"

No, Brother Tong, what are you talking about?

You want me to spend money to treat Bai Xue's mother's illness?

I never knew you, Brother Tong, had such a talent for being a simp!
Even if Bai Xue is very beautiful, why would she spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to treat someone's illness before she was even married?
You are the greatest philanthropist!
You are this: Thumbs up!

"Accept the mission."

Despite his complaints, Xu Mu found the blind box rewards incredibly tempting. Moreover, completing this task would allow him to break through to level 2, though he had no idea what the level 2 reward would be.

The previous offer of a 10% stake in Kaiyuan Taihe Hotel resulted in a maximum return on investment.

Even though this mission carries the risk of being a simp, so what the hell?
I'm doing this for the mission!
And as long as I lick enough and do it enthusiastically enough, I'm not a simp.

I am—Wolf Warrior!
"It's okay, there's always a way to solve it!"

"But what about your dad?" "My dad is just an ordinary worker, earning four or five thousand yuan a month. I also have a younger brother in high school, who also needs money."

Bai Xue felt immense pressure.

Sometimes I think about it, and life is really tiring.

"So Liu Yang knows about your family situation and wants to force you to compromise through this method?"

“Yes…” Bai Xue did not deny it. “He said he wanted me to sleep with him for ten thousand yuan a night.”

"Sure enough, this is what rich kids think! In their eyes, anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem! He just didn't expect that you don't like him at all."

"Yes, I only give my body to people I like, even if it's for free, but I would never give my body for money, that would only make me hate myself."

"Understood." Xu Mu nodded gently.

"Alright, I'll take you home."

Xu Mu rode his electric scooter, carrying Bai Xue, towards Longyue.

However, what he didn't know was that Zhou Mengting had just finished her class reunion and was walking out of the hotel when she saw Bai Xue sitting on the back of Xu Mu's electric scooter, with her arm around Xu Mu's waist.

"Xu Mu, you lied to me so badly! You're so rich, yet you pretended to be poor!"

"If that's how you are, why would I have broken up with you and gone looking for a rich second-generation guy?"

Zhou Mengting took out her phone and snapped a picture of Xu Mu's departing figure.

At the same time, she sent a message to Xu Mu, "What is your relationship with Bai Xue?"

However, Xu Mu did not reply.

A few minutes later, Xu Mu arrived at the bottom of Unit 2, Building 3 of Longyue.

"Xiao Mu, thank you."

"Okay, I'll bring it back to you. I'm going home to sleep too!"

As Xu Mu spoke, he prepared to turn the car around and leave.

"Xiao Mu, wait a minute."

Seeing Xu Mu leave, Bai Xue felt a strange sense of loss and quickly called out to him.

"What's wrong, Sister Bai Xue?"

"You've had quite a bit to drink tonight, it's not safe for you to ride your electric scooter home now."

"Come upstairs with me, I'll make you some hangover soup. Rest for a while before going back."

"alright."

Xu Mu thought for a moment, agreed, parked the electric scooter, and followed Bai Xue into the elevator.

Xu Mu originally wanted to refuse, but thinking about the task issued by the system, he decided to learn more about Bai Xue and see what was going on.

Furthermore, he needed to think about how to help Bai Xue treat her mother's illness.

This thing is a bottomless pit.

Although I have a system and am a cheat code, healing is something that cheat codes can't handle.

Bai Xue rented an apartment on the thirteenth floor, which had a good view, directly facing the inpatient building of the People's Hospital.

Xu Mu opened the door and followed her inside.

This is a small apartment of 89 square meters, with two bedrooms and one living room. The surrounding decoration is not bad, but it looks a bit messy now.

Do you live here alone?

"Yes." Bai Xue nodded and led Xu Mu into the living room, tidying up the sofa briefly. "My dad lives in an old house in the countryside and usually does odd jobs."

"If he doesn't have any work, he can take care of my mom for me!"

“My younger brother had to live at school when he was in school, and he would stay with me or at the old house on weekends when he had time off.”

"Xiao Mu, please sit down. I'll make you some hangover soup!" Bai Xue tidied up the sofa and gestured for Xu Mu to sit down.

However, before going to the kitchen, Bai Xue went into her room.

Within minutes, she came out in a set of loungewear.

She had taken off her torn black stockings, revealing her exquisitely long, snow-white legs that seemed to reflect light.

"Sister Baixue, I'm a little curious, but don't be angry," Xu Mu asked. "You're so beautiful, have a great figure, and a good job. Haven't you ever thought about marrying a rich second-generation? That way, at least your family's debts can be paid off, and Auntie's illness can be cured!"

"Xiao Mu, you might not understand this circle." Bai Xue poured Xu Mu a glass of water, handed it to him, and sat down next to him, saying softly, "I've heard a lot of rumors about Liu Yang."

"He's just playing around, he won't get married."

"Secondly, he is also ill."

"?" Xu Mu's eyes widened. Holy crap, this guy's playing such fancy tricks?
Could flowers be growing on the mushrooms?

That's fucking terrifying.

"There's another one. I don't know if you remember Mr. Zhou, who we had dinner with tonight. He has a son who married a nail salon owner from the old town."

"After getting married, although you may be able to rise to a higher social class and achieve upward mobility, this is only the surface you see."

"In reality, she spends her days at home taking care of the child and has no status in the family."

"When Mr. Zhou's son is happy, he stays at home for two days. When he's not happy, he goes out to play. He has membership cards in places like Shanghai and Hangzhou. He stays in hotels or clubs, and the girls he's with are all different."

"As for the boss's wife, although we've talked to her a few times, no one pays any attention to her. Each time, she just gives us a few bags and brushes it off. As for money, needless to say, the family's finances are all controlled by President Zhou's wife."

"Because in their world, finding a girl like that has only one purpose: to carry on the family line!"

"As for love? In the eyes of such people, there is no love."

Xu Mu finally understood.

So this is what the world of the rich is like.

For the first twenty-five years of his life, Xu Mu was a poor nobody who had never been exposed to the world of the rich.

I have no idea how rich people actually enjoy life.

In retrospect, the novel was written too subtly.

I'll talk to Bai Xue more often later to gather more material for my conversation.

"Alright, sit down for a while."

Bai Xue gently stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

The sofa still retained the delicate fragrance emanating from Bai Xue, mixed with a faint smell of alcohol.
