Chapter 432 Punishment
How could Murphy not realize that she herself was one of the culprits that made me anxious. A blush appeared on my face, either changing the topic or really curious, and asked, "Ten thousand yuan? What's the use of you to withdraw so much cash?"
Is it too much? It is indeed a considerable expense for me, but in front of my life, it is just a pile of waste paper... I hesitated for a moment and told Grandma Shu about Grandma Shu. First, I felt that Murphy was not easy to be perfunctory, and second, I also wanted to hear Murphy's opinion on this matter. As the saying goes, the authorities are confused. I was confused by Grandma Shu's condition to Shu Tong or confess. Liusu and I were hesitant. Tomorrow, Grandma Shu will go home. At this time, listening to the opinions of outsiders may be helpful to us...
After listening to me quietly, Murphy was not too sad or moved. After all, the Shu family was like a stranger to her. She held my hand and said to me in a gentle tone: "Chu Nan, you are such a good person. Don't you think that you are not only overestimating your ability, but also beyond the scope of helping friends?"
"I know I'm overestimating myself, but this does not exceed the scope of helping friends, right? Shutong is not only Liusu's cousin, but also my friend," I smiled embarrassedly and said, "Maybe I'm really a good person, but I don't want to be hypocritical. Feifei, I dare not say this to Liusu, I'm embarrassed to say this, but I'm not afraid to tell you, I don't like Shu's parents' behavior of concealing the condition of both the elderly and Shutong. I hate my current role, letting the last time in the elderly's life live in the lies we weave. Can this illusion be considered happy? Too untrue and hypocritical! But if this is Shu's parents' understanding, they think that doing this is the best. I have no right to veto or expose the truth. After all, it's someone else's family affairs. After all, it has nothing to do with me..."
"Chu Nan..."
"I'm fine, and I don't have anything to do. I just can't stand it anymore. At the beginning, Liusu helped Shutong convince me and brought me to perform this drama. I was afraid that Liusu would be even more guilty, so I didn't dare to say these things to her," I said self-deprecatingly: "You should know that I am not a noble person. Even when doing good deeds, it is largely to satisfy my selfishness and have my own purpose. Just like when I helped you, my motives were not so simple... Haha, now it's the same. I am not overestimating myself or pretending to be noble and pretending to be a good person. I just think that I should pay some price for myself to agree to Shutong and Liusu's requests. We deceived an old man who has not been alive for a while.
It is very likely that she will leave this world with an illusory sense of happiness. It would be too late to feel regretful at that time. The only thing I can do now is to spend some money to make Shu’s parents not have to work so hard, and have time to spend more time with the elderly, so that she can eat and drink well in her last days... I am atoneing for myself, atoneing for tassels, and atoneing for Shutong. Thinking of this, I will feel a little more comfortable. When Shutong knows the truth in the future, I know that grandma’s last days are pretty good, and I must be a little better in my heart... This is my motivation, selfishness, and self-deception, thinking that using money can solve everything. Haha, I am also hopeless to fall."
Yes, I just want to pay a little price for our lies. Such punishment will alleviate the guilt in our hearts... Yes, it is ‘we’, not ‘me’, and there is only so much I can do for Shutong...
Window No. 6 finally called my number.
"Get out, 50,000."
I was about to hand the bank card to the female employee inside, but a pair of white jade-like hands snatched me in front of me.
"Use this card," Murphy snatched the card in my hand, stuffed it back into my top pocket, and said with anger and smile: "You, after talking for a long time, you're still a good person. Money is indeed not omnipotent, but money can help people, which is also a fact. What you are doing now is the right thing, a noble thing, don't belittle yourself."
I had no idea how she could help me, grabbed her wrist and frowned, "What are you kidding? Take the card back, how can I use your money?"
"My money?" Murphy deliberately pretended to be stupid, as if surprised, and then smiled and said, "Silly, this is your own money!"
"Don't talk nonsense..."
"Who is talking nonsense? You forgot? When investing in Hengxiang, you earned a large amount of agency fees. Some of them paid off my mother's gambling debts, and there were still 300,000 left." At this point, Murphy couldn't help but look down on his face, his eyes full of resentment, "This money is yours, but you stingy guy actually brought 300,000 to my house because you hate me, and you want to draw a clear line with me. Now when you think about it, I still feel like you are insulted. It seems that I was close to you for money at the beginning. Is it worth the 300,000 in your eyes?"
