ABRWF Chapter 305.1

“Uncle, what’s gotten into you this time? I’m covered up like this, so how can you still recognize me?” Jiang Leyi looked at him incredulously.

Could he really be trying to blackmail her?

She was a public figure. If this became a trending topic, she’d be utterly speechless.

She touched the mask on her face, finding it secure, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

She saw the man staring at her intently.

Jiang Leyi felt a chill run down her spine, as if he were looking at her face through the mask.

Was there something wrong with her face?

Jiang Leyi’s mood gradually turned displeased: “Uncle, it’s very impolite to keep staring at people. If you have something to say, just say it. If you’re feeling unwell and don’t have money to go to the hospital, I can help you temporarily. But please don’t block the hotel entrance; it’s easy to attract attention.”

Upon hearing this, the man snapped out of his daze and quickly said, “I’m sorry, I was being presumptuous. I just thought the young lady looked familiar… You resemble a friend of mine.”

He originally wanted to say ‘wife’, but fearing it would scare the girl away, he said ‘friend’.

Jiang Leyi’s eyes widened: “Your way of flirting is too old-fashioned. If you need money, just say so. I have some cash in my bag, and I can give it to you.”

She just wanted to get as far away from this person as possible.

She felt a little annoyed at herself for getting into trouble by meddling in other people’s business.

“I don’t want your money.” The middle-aged man said hastily.

He took out a business card from his bag and handed it to Jiang Leyi.

“My name is Zhou Zhenghui. This is my business card. I have something I’d like to ask you for help with. I can offer you a substantial reward.”

Jiang Leyi took it and saw that he was the CEO of a listed company in Hong Kong.

She had thought that he’d been bullied by that bully Zhou Yanbai.

But Jiang Leyi had grown up in luxury, and money wasn’t something she was surprised to see.

So she pushed the business card back, politely declining: “I’m sorry, I’m afraid I can’t agree to that. I have my own things to do and don’t have extra time for other things. You should go find someone else.”

“Five hundred thousand.”

Jiang Leyi glanced at him and turned away.

“One million.”

Seeing Jiang Leyi walk away, he gritted his teeth and said, “Two million.”

“Three million.”

“Ten million!”

Even when he offered ten million, Jiang Leyi didn’t turn back.

Zhou Zhenghui panicked.

“Young lady, please help me. My wife has fallen ill from missing someone. If I don’t give her something to look forward to, I’m afraid she won’t live past this winter. If she dies, there’s no point in my living. Please help me.” His voice was filled with sorrow.

Jiang Leyi paused, her lips tightly pursed.

The pleading continued behind her: “Miss Ji, please do me this favor.”

After a long while, Jiang Leyi turned around again. The man looked to be in his fifties, but most of his hair was white, and his face was covered with wrinkles, showing obvious signs of aging.

She sighed, “What do you want me to do?”

Zhou Zhenghui looked at her with red eyes. 

“Play the role of my daughter, then go to the hospital to visit my wife. I want her to live, not just for me, but for our daughter as well.”

Jiang Leyi had considered many possibilities, but this was the one she had never imagined.

Her previously cold expression began to soften, and pity appeared in her eyes.

“Your daughter has passed away?”

Zhou Zhenghui clutched his hair in agony. 

“I lost her… I’d rather it be me who was suffering than her. I don’t even know if she’s still alive, if she’s doing well, or if anyone loves her.”
