MTL - Entertaining Into Bitterness Drama-Chapter 20 stepmother ten

He Xiaoyan touched her chest, her face pale. Mercury sat beside her and asked, "Your chest hurts?"

Mercury rubbed her legs slowly, and saw the bruises left on her hands that could not dissipate after the blood was drawn.

"Xiaoyan, I want to tell you something."

He Xiaoyan's black and white eyes looked at her suspiciously.

Mercury said slowly: "You have leukemia, which is a disease that cannot be cured by the hospital at present. It may take a few days or a few months, and your condition will get worse. It's getting worse, and I don't know when I'm going to die."

Leukemia is difficult to cure even in future generations, not to mention that there is a lack of medical treatment and medicine now. She felt that He Xiaoyan was likely to have acute leukemia, but leukemia was just a general term at the moment, and even the term acute leukemia had not been raised.

When she heard the doctor's notice, Mercury finally understood why He Xiaoyan had never appeared in the future tasks given by the system. Because in that plot setting, she has no future at all.

She could even imagine that in the original plot world, Mu Xiang did not leave the house, but still worked hard for the two stepchildren and ignored the sick He Xiaoyan. What a miserable, depressed life to lose a life.

Moreover, she also vaguely understood why the system has been so quiet for more than a year. It is waiting for He Xiaoyan's death, waiting for her to suffer because of He Xiaoyan's death.

The system's "training" to her has never only been brainwashed and stupid, but also made her constantly experience the pain of life in these worlds. And if you want to destroy a person, it is easiest to start with feelings.

He Xiaoyan looked at her calm-faced mother, blinked blankly, and asked after a while, "My illness is not cured, can we go home now?"

"The medicine is very expensive. Anyway, I can't cure it. Can we die?"

Mercury: "If you treat it here, you may be able to live longer. If you want to live longer, I can make money to treat you."

He Xiaoyan shook her head vigorously, tears welling up, "Mom, I don't want to be cured."

"I-I'm afraid of injections." She cried.

Mercury gave her a deep look, but did not expose the lie.

"Okay, then let's go home."

Grandma Yang didn't expect He Xiaoyan to be in such a situation, and cried several times while holding the child.

Mercury: "I want to take Xiaoyan to move out."

Grandma Yang did not agree: "How can you move out in this situation! I'm so old, is there something taboo, you can live here with peace of mind."

Mercury didn't insist anymore, but she didn't go out to work every day after that. When the weather was good, she would go out for a walk with He Xiaoyan. The Shanghai market is so big. They have been here for a year, but they have never been to many places. Quicken carried He Xiaoyan to the highest building in the Shanghai market and took her to taste expensive desserts and a lot of delicious food. Can't eat too much.

I also took her to see the famous big wharf and harbour.

He Xiaoyan likes the harbour very much, there are big boats coming and going, and they sit on the small square of the harbour that can see the sea.

"Mom, can I still be your child in my next life?"

Mercury looked at her thin and pale face, "Wouldn't it be too miserable if I wanted to be a human in my next life."

He Xiaoyan sat in her arms, saw the birds flying past, and raised her finger, "Then can I be a bird? I want to fly back to see my mother."

Mercury: "...let's be a tree, grow in the mountains or in the forest."

He Xiaoyan smiled happily, with a look of hope on her face, "Then I'll wait for mom, we grow together and can be companions."

Mercury: "Good."

He Xiaoyan's condition deteriorated rapidly. One day, Mercury still carried the child to the harbour to see the big ship. The child, like a sick and weak kitten, moved her head and rubbed her palm, And then quietly fell asleep in her palm forever.

An old man who often walks here walked over and glanced at them, and said with disapproval: "It's windy here, the sun is going to set, how can the child fall asleep here? , let's go home quickly."

Mercury nodded to the old man, picked up the cold little body in his arms, got up and left.

She is a foreigner, and He Xiaoyan has no hometown, so Mercury cremated her body, sailed out of the harbor by boat, facing the lead gray sky, and sprinkled her ashes into the sea.

Instead of letting this short-lived little girl be buried in the deep soil to rot, it may be more free to ride the wind into the sea.

The system that had been silent for a long time suddenly went online at this time.

【I know you care about this child, I can let her come back to you】

Mercury looked at the flying seagulls, as if not hearing the tempting voice in her mind.

[As long as you and He Dongpeng form a family again, I will have a way to make He Xiaoyan give birth to you and He Dongpeng's child, you can give her a complete family, how about it]

[You are still the disgusting smell you used to have, how about you ask me? Can't you guess my answer]

Mercury's expression was calm, even a little indifferent.

Only by becoming a great mother can your life be truly valuable, otherwise how can you reflect your own value]

[There is no value in reproduction, nor do I need a socially acceptable value. ] After saying this, Mercury ignored the system.

of use value only.

Because He Xiaoyan will die early and is worthless, the system does not require her to 'love' her as a mother. He Chengzu and He Xiaolian can live to have children and reproduce offspring, which is valuable in the system, so it wants her to 'love' them.

Is this a mother's love? No, this is the slave of reproduction, the labor of human reproduction.

If reproduction is not for love, but for future retirement life, what is the difference between this and cold investment. But this world is full of bankrupt investors.

【Sooner or later you will change your mind】

[At different stages of life, ideas are always changing, the only thing I have to do is to always confront my cowardice]

Mercury still lives at Grandma Yang's place, maybe it's too sad, this old man was also ill, and Mercury took care of her for a while before she recovered.

"If you want, be my daughter." After Grandma Yang recovered, she said to her, "Although you have lost a daughter, you can have another mother."

The relationship between people does not rely on blood, but only on feelings. If you can think about it, it is undoubtedly the easiest.

The weather is already very cold, but the Shanghai stock market is even hotter. The current situation is not good. On the one hand, ordinary people are panicking, and on the other hand, the upper class is a splendid place.

Dong Lingye has come home several times since her mother became ill. After hearing Grandma Yang’s words, she changed her name to “Little Mercury”. She seemed very excited about having a sister, and it didn’t take long before she started talking frequently She goes out to play.

The lady and the lady are called sisters and sisters, and the nightlife is rich.

Here it is." Dong Lingye swayed with a half glass of wine, and looked at the dance floor below with some blurred eyes.

Mercury also held a half glass of wine, stood beside her and watched the swirling and laughing crowd on the dance floor. Compared with the slightly drunk Dong Lingye, she seemed too sober.

Dong Lingye looked at her for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter, "You, I thought you were a very good-looking 'good woman', but I didn't expect you to be proficient in smoking and drinking so well, It’s not the first time to come to this kind of place and I’m not afraid.”

Mercury put down the glass and smiled at her. Of course not afraid, after all, it is not the first time for her to come to this kind of place. Although the times are different, the unique atmosphere of this kind of place is familiar to her, which reminds her of some things in the past.

Dong Lingye wanted to say a few more words to her, but unfortunately her female companions greeted them upstairs. Dong Lingye pulled the mercury, "Come on, they are playing cards upstairs and show you."

"Little sister, can you play cards? If you can, let you play."

Mercury looked at the cards they were playing, "I'm not familiar with it, I'll watch it by the side."

Dong Lingye: "Alright, then I'll fight first, you'll watch by the side, and help me fight twice when you learn."

These things are actually very familiar with mercury. After all, the gameplay is almost the same. After two laps, she has a bottom line, but she lacks interest. Seeing that Dong Lingye was already fascinated, he exited the encirclement and sat aside, turning the wine glass in his hand gently in a free manner.

"Miss Mu?" Mercury looked up and saw Miss Song, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

"Why are you here?" Song Ting pushed her female companion away and sat beside her.

Song Ting's life has not been easy recently, and everyone is more haggard than before. Ever since He Dongpeng hit his head and was sent to the hospital, he has never been able to wake up. She doesn't know whether her husband can wake up or not. At first, she often went to visit him, but when he lay there, he lost weight and needed to eat and drink. The nurses took care of it, and there was still an odor, and Song Ting gradually stopped loving it.

She didn't know whether she was afraid of seeing her husband haggard, or the hideous appearance of this disease.

I was really upset, so she would come here with her friends to relax, but she didn't expect to see Muxiang. For a moment, she was jealous of Mu Xiang, why didn't she care about anything?

"He Dongpeng is in the hospital now..." For some reason, Song Ting suddenly said.

Mercury glanced at her, oh.

Song Ting couldn't go on anymore. It happened that Dong Lingye lost a few games over there. She turned her head and greeted Mercury: "Little girl, come and help me play a few games!"

Mercury put down the wine glass and walked towards the crowd, taking Dong Lingye's place.

Song Ting sat on the spot and watched the laughter and praise that burst out after a while. Who knew that as soon as I got home, the hospital called.

"Your Mr. He Dongpeng woke up just now."
