He's Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

Chapter 361: I actually have leukemia, too_1

Tang Feng couldn’t help but shake his head and sneer when he heard the man’s sob story.

Such an old scam, and yet some people were still using it; only a fool would fall for it.

Many people around them revealed smiles just like his, obviously seeing through the man’s routine.

However, they all chose to recognize the ruse without pointing it out.

Just waiting to see which fool would take the bait.

What Tang Feng never expected was that the fool was right beside him.

“Tang… old man, this young fellow seems quite pitiful, let’s help him out?” Xu Xinling tugged at Tang Feng’s sleeve, obviously overflowing with sympathy again.

Tang Feng couldn’t help but roll his eyes, “I advise you not to meddle in other people’s business.”

“How can you be so heartless? The man’s mother has liver cancer, and we can’t just do nothing, right? Besides, they’re not asking for charity, they’re selling the Jade Ruyi. You can buy a Jade Ruyi worth a million for just five hundred thousand, isn’t that a good deal?”

Xu Xinling’s lack of street smarts had led her to actualIy believe the man’s tall tales.

Left without a choice, Tang Feng leaned in and whispered the truth in her ear.

“Ah? He’s a scammer? Impossible, right?” Xu Xinling’s exclamation of surprise drew the attention of many people around them.

“Are you an idiot?” Tang Feng was completely speechless by now.

The man selling the Jade Ruyi, called out as a scammer in public, suddenly found it difficult to save face and looked at them angrily, “It’s one thing for you to not offer help; I don’t blame you, but to call me a scammer, isn’t that a bit too much?”

Tang Feng could only offer an apologetic gesture, “My wife is just kidding, don’t take it to heart. @@novelbin@@

“Having said that, he tried to leave with Xu Xinling.

“You can’t leave, explain to me what you mean by that.” The man was not letting it go, blocking their way.

Tang Feng’s gaze turned icy, staring at him intently, “Buddy, I don’t want to ruin your hustle, but it’s best you stop bothering us, it won’t be good for you or for me.”

For some reason, when that man met Tang Feng’s gaze, he suddenly felt as if everything about him had been seen through.

He had encountered a real pro!

Intuition told him that if he kept this up, his little tricks would be undoubtedly exposed.

With that in mind, he hastily stepped aside.

Tang Feng didn’t waste any more words and left, pulling the still confused Xu Xinling with him.

It must be said, outside the entire convention center was truly a den of iniquity, teeming with an array of characters.

No more than ten meters after their departure, they ran into someone claiming to sell family heirlooms because his son was getting married, and another who had gone bankrupt and needed to sell his heirloom to pay off debts.

It was as if all of Zhonghai’s family heirlooms had suddenly surfaced.

Tang Feng couldn’t help but marvel that the convention center really was a grand stage; inside, they were recording shows, and outside, the farce continued, just like a ridiculous comedy.

Xu Xinling might talk tough, but she was a classic softy at heart—or to put it more bluntly, she was brainless.

Even after being duped twice already, she still hadn’t learned her lesson and nearly got conned a few more times.

If it weren’t for Tang Feng’s intervention, this foolish woman might have ended up being swindled out of everything she owned today.

“Have you always been this… kind-hearted?” Tang Feng really meant to say “stupid,” but feeling that harsh words are cold in June, he decided to revise his wording last minute.

“I just can’t bear to see others suffer, so I want to help them as much as I can.” Xu Xinling, although now aware of the recent scams, still smiled naively and carefree.

“Don’t your parents keep an eye on you?” Tang Feng felt that if he were her father, he probably would have been angered to death by her.

“Hmph, don’t bring them up, they’re cold-blooded creatures. Last year, I helped a girl with a particularly tragic life story, and my dad actually called me an idiot, even froze all my bank and credit cards. He just gives me a regular allowance of one hundred thousand a month now.”

Xu Xinling bristled with indignant anger whenever she brought up her parents.

“How did you help her?” Tang Feng became intensely curious.

Xu Xinling began recounting her legendary experience, “The girl said she had leukemia and needed five hundred thousand for medical expenses, or she wouldn’t survive another two weeks, so I covered all her medical costs.”

Tang Feng’s face twitched; why hadn’t he met this silly woman sooner? He could have saved himself at least a decade of struggle.

Xu Xinling continued, “Later, the girl told me that she also had a younger brother. They lost their parents when they were young, and the siblings relied on each other to grow up. Her brother broke his leg working on a construction site trying to raise money for her treatment, and he needed two hundred thousand for the surgery, or they’d have to amputate.”

“So, you paid for her brother’s medical bills too?” Tang Feng asked tentatively, still holding out a last shred of hope that she wouldn’t have been fooled twice by the same person.

However, his hopes were too optimistic.

“Yes, they were both so pitiable, if it were you, could you stand by and do nothing?” Xu Xinling’s response was full of self-righteous indignation.

“Heh, I guess I’m not that stupid.” Tang Feng gave a dry laugh, “What happened after that?”

“After that, the girl told me that her last wish was to see her brother get married. Her brother actually liked a girl, but the girl’s family demanded a dowry of five hundred thousand. He couldn’t afford it, and the girl might marry someone else…”

“So, you ended up paying the dowry for her brother?”

“At that moment, the girl looked at me with such a pleading face, I felt she was putting all her hopes on me, and I just couldn’t bear to let her down.”

“Heh, that’s true, to meet someone as… generous as you, they must have accumulated a lot of good karma in previous lives. What happened then?”

“Then she told me, besides the dowry, the girl wanted a house as well…”

“You… didn’t actually buy her brother a house, did you?”

“Well, no.”

“You scared me there. It seems you’re not completely beyond redemption.” Tang Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

“I actually wanted to buy the house for her brother, but then my dad froze my bank account. I even had a big fight with him at that time, thinking he was too heartless.”

Xu Xinling looked self-reproachful, as if not being able to buy the house for the girl’s brother was a great regret for her.

Tang Feng stared at her blankly, then suddenly blurted out, “Actually, I’ve also been diagnosed with leukemia.”
