Chapter 55: The Warmth of Home
Hearing this, Steward Zhang nodded slightly, bent over and stepped forward little by little.
"Girl, I know that you hate these promises to the core, and that's exactly what I do, so I want to advise the girl to be calm when you encounter things, especially those related to her."
Yi Qiaoyi slowly raised his right hand and waved it casually, signaling her not to continue.
"Let Xu promise to leave the entertainment industry, it can be regarded as breaking her dream, it's ridiculous, I was friends with her before, although I am not a very good friend, but there is also an intersection, I know better than anyone that her dream is too similar to mine, but unfortunately she is not this material."
After saying that, I gently pressed my brow and chuckled helplessly.
"Of course, I won't let her have the opportunity to step into the entertainment industry again, I just want to ruin her dream and let her taste the taste of being hurt by others."
Seeing this, the housekeeper wrinkled his head slightly, and there was a slight abnormal expression on his calm face, and his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.
Before Butler Zhang could speak, suddenly, the door of the pawnshop was suddenly pushed open, and an old woman wearing a Gushi style gently pushed the door open, trembling her legs moving in little by little.
"You...... Hello, is this the location of No. 13 Jincheng East Street? ”
The old woman walked in with difficulty, opened her eyes and looked around, and then looked at Steward Zhang fixedly and asked.
"Last time a girl told me that this place can help others make their wishes come true. I don't know if it's true or not, but I want to try it. ”
The people who can be helped by the pawnshop are all destined people, and they are also people who have great needs in their hearts, and people other than them cannot see the existence of this pawnshop.
All those who have a deep thought in their hearts can get the address of the pawnshop from Steward Zhang or Yi Qiaoyi.
Yi Qiao squinted slightly and carefully looked at the old man, stroked his chin with his right hand, and nodded slightly.
She was very sure that this old man was not the person she had seen, and she thought that Steward Zhang should have taken over, but the old man had a bad memory and forgot about it.
Then his thoughts turned, Yi Qiao turned his face to look at Steward Zhang and moved his lips slightly, his voice was as thin as a mosquito.
"Who is she?"
Although the voice was so subtle that it was impossible to hear clearly, Steward Zhang still didn't say a word, listened to it, and put the housekeeper's posture again, put his hand lightly behind his back, and nodded slightly.
"Hmm."
As soon as Steward Zhang's words were finished, Yi Qiao slowly walked in front of the old man, playing with her bracelet in his hand, and looked straight into the old man's eyes.
"That's right, you've found the right place, this is the place that can help others make their wishes come true, you can come with me."
finished the words word by word, and then Yi Qiao and everyone had a cold expression, exuding a kingly aura all over his body, which made people dare not violate and could not question.
Seeing that the old woman was still standing in place, wooden and flustered, and didn't seem to react to what was going on, Yi Qiao glanced at him coldly, turned around and walked to the second floor, and disappeared at the end of the corridor after a while.
It wasn't until Yi Qiao disappeared in a trance that the old man reacted, hurriedly stepped on his slightly trembling legs, stretched out one hand, and chased after him as if he wanted to grab something.
"Girl, this wish of mine is not an ordinary wish, can you really help me make it happen? Don't coax me when I'm old! ”
Yi Qiaoyi was already sitting upright in her seat, her hands casually resting on the table carved from ancient wood, and in the antique room, she seemed to be floating from another place.
She just lifted her eyes slightly, and indifferently looked at the old woman who was panting and patting her chest, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, looking like a glamorous demon who made soul deals with people.
"Seeing that you are so cautious, I don't think it's a simple wish, I might as well just say it."
Suddenly hearing her voice, the old woman put the purse in her hand on the table, moved it to the chair and sat down little by little.
"I'm old, my children died early, I left a grandson, I've been frail and sick since I was a child, how many doctors I've seen, how many medicines I've taken but I'm not getting better, and now I can't take care of him when I'm old."
Speaking of this, the old woman couldn't help choking her voice, her eyes were red, and even Mai Cangsang's face showed a trace of helplessness and misery, she was full of calluses, and her hands with clear blood vessels held her face and sobbed sadly.
"I thought that if one day his illness could be cured, he would be able to take care of himself in the future, or he would have the opportunity to go out and see the outside world."
Yi Qiao lowered her head and looked at the book on the table, and opened the book with a random hand, there was not a word on the whole book, but she read it carefully and seriously.
After a while, Yi Qiao frowned slightly, and looked up seriously at the uncontrollable old man in front of him.
"Your grandson's disease is not simple, ordinary people are afraid that it can't be cured, although I am sure to cure him for you, but it depends on what price you are willing to pay in exchange."
Suddenly, hearing this, the old woman's sobbing voice slowly became smaller, and he wiped the tears on his face twice with his hand, and before he could wipe them dry, he looked up at her.
After looking at it for a long time, the old woman tried to speak with a sullen face and a trembling voice, and after speaking, she buried her head deeply and did not raise it again.
"I don't have any money......"
Hearing this, Yi Qiaoyi tapped the table lightly with his fingers, the smile on his face deepened, and he looked at the old man in front of him leisurely, every movement seemed careless, but elegant and intimidating.
"You're wrong, I don't want money, but it's something more precious than money, are you willing to exchange it?"
Hearing this, the light and hope in the old man's eyes seemed to dim for a moment, and she clenched her fists tightly, her brows furrowed.
After a few moments, she clapped her hands excitedly, fumbled through her bag with trembling hands, and finally took out a piece of paper folded into a square.
"Something more precious than money? I have...... I really have ......."
She put the paper on the table, bent down slightly and gently pushed it in front of Yi Qiaoyi.
"I used to work as a cleaner for a wealthy family, and one day the door of their study was not locked, so I went in and cleaned it and picked it up."
At this point, the words came to a sudden pause, her eyes rolled, she hesitated, and with a slight stomp of her foot, she spoke as if she had made up her mind.
"My grandson said that this is a trade secret, very important, let me return it quickly, but unfortunately I quit my job later, and I have never had the opportunity, although I know that this is not right, but all the valuable things on me, I also have this."
casually shook a cold eye, looked at the stacked square pieces of paper on the table, Yi Qiaoyi picked it up casually and opened it to check.
After reading the content of the paper, Yi Qiaoyi's indifferent face slowly increased a trace of shock, and he gently pinched the paper with his hand.
"Whether this is a trade secret or not, I really can't be sure, I'll check, but even if it's true, this price is not enough."
As she spoke, she gently put down the paper, her eyes were not smooth, and with a bit of deep and awe-inspiring look in her eyes, he looked at the old woman's face seriously.
"Your grandson's illness, this is terminally ill, if I want to tell you the truth, your grandson's life is not many years left, if you want him to recover, it is to forcibly change his life, he originally did not belong to his life, I am afraid that he can only take it from you."
Suddenly, hearing this, the old woman's hands clenched into fists, her eyes drooped slightly, and she looked at the paper on the table with a sad heart.
"What do you mean, girl?"
As soon as Yi Qiao stretched out his right hand, he grabbed the paper on the table with his index finger and middle finger, and threw it back, and the paper disappeared, just in front of the eyes of the old woman who looked up along the paper.
"I mean to exchange the rest of your life for his health, and in addition to this, there is this secret in your mouth, only in this way can he be guaranteed to be healthy."
The next time she saw something terrible, the old woman suddenly folded her hands, slowly got up respectfully, and bowed to her reverently.
"What kind of deal are you guys doing here? Can I really trade my life for my grandson? ”
Hearing the old woman ask a question in a frightened and hoarse voice, Yi Qiao had a trace of sadness in her eyes, but it was soon fleeting, and even she herself had not yet noticed it.
She still had a faint expression and didn't say much, only gently tapping the table with her hand.
"Yes, but you have to think clearly, once you decide, there is no turning back."
Hearing this, the old woman thought that Yi Qiaoyi said this to persuade her, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face full of traces of age.
Laughing and laughing, there was a trace of sadness in his eyes, and he had just risen, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly.
"The girl looks very young, she doesn't know how to be a parent, even if she gives her life for her children, she won't hesitate at all, I'm at this age, what else do I have to be nostalgic for this world."
Speaking of this, she suddenly became excited, covered her heart tightly with her hand, and was about to kneel down with her other hand on the table.
"If the girl really heals my grandson with my lifespan, it will be my great benefactor, the only thing I feel a little regretful about is that I can't go to the little girl of the Yi family to say sorry in person, and now if I go to the underworld, maybe I can see her."
Yi Qiaoyi just stretched out his hand to help him up, and suddenly heard her say that the Yi family, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes looked at the person in front of her with heavy eyes.
"Are you talking about the Yi family? As far as I know, there is only one family surnamed Yi in the entire Jincheng. ”
The old woman leaned on the edge of the table and sat down on the stool slowly, but tears suddenly burst out of her eyes.
"You guessed correctly, it's the eldest lady who died early at a young age, and I'm ashamed of her."
Looking at the old man's grief-stricken expression, Yi Qiao frowned slightly, gently stroked his hair with his hand, and then pressed his temples.
"You're just an old man, even if you're going to their house to clean or something, how can you have anything to do with her death?"
As soon as Yi Qiao's words ended, the old woman sat motionless on the stool as if she had fallen into a memory, the light in her eyes had disappeared, and her expression seemed to be drifting away.
"You don't know that this young lady has a hard life, and she has never been liked by Mrs. Madame, and you don't blame Mrs. Master, she originally wanted to have another son, but who would have thought that the second one would be a daughter."
Hearing this, Yi Qiaoyi's hand clenched involuntarily, and all the past injustices in his mind were constantly played back like a marquee.
The old woman did not notice the abnormality of the person in front of her, and the person was immersed in the memories of the past, and continued to talk to herself.
"It's already miserable to not be loved by my family, but I also met a bad man, I was also a servant in their house at that time, and the man surnamed Lin gave me money and asked me to drug what she ate."
