Chapter 49: The Ex-Girlfriend Who Hates the Poor and Loves the Rich (18)

Hearing this question, Su Yu nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Qi Huaizhi's eyes lit up slightly.

"I like your money, but you are not worthy of me now."

Qi Huaizhi's mood seemed to be on a roller coaster, raised high with Su Yu's words, and then hit hard with the next word. His emotions were easily affected by her, which was extremely useless.

The phone rang again.

Su Yu frowned slightly, showing a little impatience, and chose to answer the call.

"You finally answered the phone!"

Bai Luo was excited and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where are you now! Grandpa suddenly had a heart attack and is in the hospital now. Come over quickly!"

Bai Luo's voice was anxious and panting. The surroundings were very noisy and the voices of medical staff communicating could be vaguely heard.

"The situation is very critical. We are currently trying to rescue you and need you to sign. The doctor said that he can sign on your behalf with the family's consent. Where are you now? Why did you take so long to answer the phone?" Her voice was filled with panic and tears.

Qi Huaizhi's expression suddenly changed and he reached out to grab the phone.

Su Yu's eyes flickered slightly and she dodged backwards, allowing him to miss.

"Su Yu!" Qi Huaizhi growled, "Give me back my phone!"

Bai Luo on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment: "Huaizhi, where are you? Who are you talking to? Is it Su Yu? Are you still in touch?"

"Huaizhi? Huaizhi, are you saying something?"

Bai Luo looked unhappy.

Why, after all this, is he still entangled with that woman?

Qi Huaizhi's voice trembled slightly: "Su Yu, I beg you, give me back my phone. I won't bother you anymore. I promise, give me back my phone, okay?"

The pain in my body is nothing at this moment.

Qi Huaizhi's heart was filled with great panic and he was shaking uncontrollably. He couldn't imagine what it would be like if he lost his grandfather.

Su Yu calmly asked the system: [Call up the task progress bar to see how far it has reached.]

The system was frightened by the male protagonist's appearance: [Forty, forty percent. ]

It was the first time that Su Yu saw Qi Huaizhi so vulnerable, like a trapped beast. A low growl came from his throat that sounded like sobbing and begging, begging her to return the phone to him.

[Host, what should we do now? ]

This was something that neither Su Yu nor the system had expected.

However, the moment the male protagonist snatched the phone, Su Yu already had an idea.

She suddenly asked: [Is your auxiliary function still not used in this world? ]

In each world, the system has one and only one chance to use special abilities to help the tasker complete the task.

The system seemed to know what Su Yu was going to do.

【Not used yet.】

Su Yu said calmly: [Now, use it to save the hero's grandfather.]

With the system in place, no matter how complex or dangerous the disease is, it can be treated with ease.

But Qi Huaizhi was unaware of this.

He looked at Su Yu pleadingly, his eyes filled with heartbreaking fragility.

Then he watched Su Yu stand up, hang up the phone, and raise her hands in the air.

"Don't……"

He let go and the phone fell, breaking into pieces in front of Qi Huaizhi's eyes.

Pupils constrict suddenly.

The world seemed to have been paused. Qi Huaizhi stared blankly at the phone on the ground. His soul seemed to be sucked away. His expression was numb and his eyes were empty.

A mobile phone is not a panacea. It cannot save Grandpa, nor can it teleport him outside the emergency room right now.

But it allowed him to see Su Yu clearly.

Bai Luo is right.

He trembled slightly uncontrollably and asked in a low voice: "Su Yu, is your heart made of stone?"

The next moment, Qi Huaizhi suddenly jumped up. The pain in his body had long been numb. With bloodshot eyes, he grabbed Su Yu's neck and pushed her against the wall.

It happened so suddenly that Su Yu was caught off guard.

“Cough… cough cough…”

Su Yu instinctively slapped his arm with a little force, and an unbearable cough came out of her throat. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and tears welled up at the corners of her eyes.

“Let go…”

Su Yu's eyes welled up with physiological tears and her brows knitted together in discomfort.

Qi Huaizhi seemed to have lost his mind, which made Su Yu a little scared.

"Killing someone... is against the law, you will go to jail..."

Su Yu said with difficulty.

After a few breaths, the force on his neck suddenly loosened, but did not move away.

Su Yu gasped for breath and coughed uncomfortably.

For a moment, she really thought Qi Huaizhi would kill her.

"You can't kill me. Killing is against the law. Have you thought about the consequences? You will be thrown into prison, with a minimum sentence of life imprisonment or a maximum sentence of death."

"By then, your life will be ruined."

As she spoke, Su Yu suddenly paused and her tone changed.

"Don't forget, you still have grandpa."

"Maybe one day you'll be able to get your sentence commuted and be released from prison, but by then, your grandfather may no longer be around."

"How pitiful! I raised you with so much difficulty, but in the end, there's no one to see you off to your grave, because—"

"His grandson is a murderer."

Threatening words came out of her beautiful red lips, like a vicious curse.

Even at this time, she was not willing to say anything nice to beg him.

Qi Huaizhi suddenly wondered if he was dreaming. Su Yu in the dream was so beautiful, but when he woke up, she turned into this cruel and heartless woman.

Qi Huaizhi's face was numb, and he used his wrist to exert force again to block the words that made his heart ache.

"It doesn't matter. With you by my side, it's nice to be a pair of wild mandarin ducks on the road to the underworld."

Unfortunately, he didn't have the heart to do it until the end.

Qi Huaizhi suddenly let go.

All the strength in his body seemed to be drained away. He closed his eyes, then opened them after a moment and took a deep breath.

"Forget it, just go."

"I won't bother you anymore. Just pretend we've never met and are just strangers."

Qi Huaizhi decided to let himself go.

He began to accept that he had indeed been deceived in the past, deceived by those eyes that were as gentle as spring water and seemed to be able to speak.

Su Yu is a heartless monster. Only money can impress her. Without money, you are of no use to her.

She would treat people who were of no use to her in the most cruel and ruthless manner.

Su Yu covered her neck and coughed.

The marks on her neck were very deep, and it was obvious that Qi Huaizhi really wanted to kill her.

I just don't know why I gave up in the end.

Su Yu looked at him deeply, then staggered away, covering her neck.

"I hope you'll keep your promise."

How relaxed and comfortable you are when you come, how pitiful and embarrassed you are when you leave.

This seemed to be the most embarrassing time Su Yu had ever experienced since she came into this world.

I was nearly strangled to death.

However, Su Yu also felt that she deserved it. It was good that she was not beaten to death. She once again praised the male protagonist's character and upbringing.

The task progress bar instantly jumped from 40% to 50% at the moment the male protagonist exploded.

There is a reason why wealth and honor are sought through risk.

[Did the male protagonist's grandfather save him? 】

The system patted its chest and said, "Host, rest assured. I'm here to help. I can do the job of two people."

[And in order not to draw attention, I did it very covertly. No one noticed. They all thought the operation was successful. The protagonist's grandfather will not get sick easily again. He can live at least ten more years.] The system took credit.

Su Yu nodded with satisfaction: [Well done, if you succeed in this mission, I will use the points to upgrade you.]

System surprise: [Really? Thank you, host! ]

Looking at Su Yu's back without any reluctance, Qi Huaizhi lowered his head.

As if abandoned by the whole world, the figure is full of loneliness.

After a long moment, he heard himself whisper.

"Su Yu, you will regret it."
