The question Zhao Jia casually asked about his elder brother's leg injury and the cost was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

It extinguished the crazy thoughts in Yu Bai's mind and also suddenly cooled her boiling blood.

Reason completely returned at this moment.

The scarlet in Yu Bai's eyes faded away quietly, replaced by an unfathomable coldness and understanding.

"The surgery fee...isn't that high. My family scraped together what we had before, and with what my brothers and I saved, it's enough."

She paused slightly, as if weighing her words, her eyelashes drooping, just enough to conceal the sarcasm in her eyes.

"It's just that... the subsequent rehabilitation treatment is quite troublesome."

"The doctor said I need to use imported medicine and specialized physical therapy. The cost... is indeed a bit higher."

"But fortunately, my relatives also helped out a little, so it's enough for now."

Yu Bai spoke these four sentences with almost no pause, and every word was spoken clearly.

Especially the last three words "enough", she deliberately slowed down her speech speed, with a sense of confidence and certainty.

Sure enough, the word "enough" that fell lightly was like an invisible needle, accurately piercing a hidden corner in Zhao Jia's heart.

Zhao Jia was silent for a few seconds, as if he was formulating a strategy or weighing his words.

The only sound in the living room was the faint sound of traffic coming from outside the window.

Finally, he seemed to have made up his mind. He raised his head, his eyes carrying a hint of deliberate heaviness, and looked at Yu Bai. His tone also became serious:

"Xiaobai, I... want to ask you for something."

beg?

This word was full of irony when it came out of Zhao Jia's mouth.

Yu Bai's sneer deepened in his heart, but his face revealed a hint of confusion and surprise just right, and he tilted his head slightly:

"What's up?"

Zhao Jia took a deep breath, his face thick with worry and embarrassment, and his voice became much lower, with a sense of sorrow:

"My mom...she had a physical a while ago and found out...she had a tumor. The situation isn't good."

Here it comes.

Familiar recipe, familiar taste.

Yu Bai lowered his eyelids to hide the coldness that flashed across his eyes.

He said the same thing in his previous life.

He successfully gained his mother's sympathy and concern by using her "critical" condition.

At that time, she was so worried that she was distracted and only concerned about his mother's health.

I was distracted by the words "tumor" and "not in good condition" and didn't think about the flaws at all.

It was not until later that she found out that Zhao Jia's mother had only the most common uterine fibroids.

If it is benign, it can be solved with a small operation, the recovery period is short, and the cost is limited.

It's not as serious and critical as he said, and it requires a lot of money to save his life.

He just exaggerated and made up this despicable lie in order to get money from her!

All the events of the previous life were like a brand, which had already deeply engraved this man's hypocritical face in Yu Bai's soul.

Therefore, every expression and every word of Zhao Jia was nothing but a clumsy performance that could be seen through.

Ridiculous and funny.

However, the show must go on.

The chessboard of revenge requires patience and planning.

Of course, Yu Bai didn't mind taking the trouble to build a stage and give the main stage to Zhao Jia.

Just let him act out his own script and walk step by step into the gorgeous trap set for him.

Only in this way can you understand what it means to be doomed.
