Chapter 174 - 109 Pharmacy
Shu Wan wasn’t one to meddle, but she couldn’t just stand by in such a situation.
She stepped back, turned the corner, and saw a man cursing at the people below the steps.
Below the steps were two women, one of whom was older with a pale, waxen complexion and half-white hair, clearly in poor health. The other looked younger but, judging by her clothes and appearance, she also seemed to be living a hard life.
In sharp contrast to the women’s plight, the man looked much more respectable.
Dressed in a suit, his hair neatly combed, and carrying a briefcase, he seemed to belong to a different world than the women before him.
"If she hadn’t picked me up back then, maybe a rich family would have, and I wouldn’t have had to suffer like this," the man complained resentfully. "And she has the nerve to come to me for help? I finally got a good job, and now you’re here to drag me down. Get lost!!"
With that, the man pulled a stack of money from his wallet and threw it in front of the elderly woman. "You’re so poor, you’ve never given me a good life. Consider this money as living expenses for all these years, and don’t come looking for me again."
After saying this, the man walked up, snatched the woman’s cellphone when they weren’t looking, completely deleted his number from it, and left.
The younger woman wanted to say something but was held back by the elder one, who was panting slightly with her words, "Forget it, he’s right. I’m about to die; there’s no need to burden anyone else."
"Sister Wang, you’re too kind. If it wasn’t for you, he would have frozen to death in a trash can long ago. You worked hard to put him through school; if it were me, I would say you never should have saved such an ungrateful wretch. Ugh!"
