"No, I can't give you my phone number."
old man Li pulled out a hundred yuan again.
"How about a hundred yuan?"
The delivery guy was at a loss for words.
"Old man, it's not about the money."
"I can't disclose customer information."
old man Li was getting anxious.
"Five hundred yuan! I'll give you five hundred!"
The delivery guy looked speechless and rode off on his electric bike.
old man Li watched the delivery guy's back with disappointment.
I couldn't help but laugh.
This old man Li was really persistent.
He was willing to spend five hundred yuan just to get a phone number to steal a delivery.
Unfortunately, the delivery guy completely ignored him.
I walked up to old man Li with the takeout in hand, teasingly.
" old man Li, are you feeling mischievous again?"
"Do you want me to loosen your bones?"
old man Li jumped in surprise, quickly stepping back and looking at me warily.
"What... what do you want?"
News about old man Li's youngest son and the neighbor's recovery spread quickly through the property group.
Everyone was discussing and speculating who had given old man Li the money.
It was said that a mysterious woman had taken out tens of thousands of yuan to cover their medical expenses.
Some even said that this woman paid off all the previous debts in one go.
In any case, old man Li's family no longer had to worry about medical bills.
"I wonder who is so kind-hearted."
"Yeah, tens of thousands is no small amount."
"If I met such a kind person, I would definitely bow to her."
"Do you think it could be old man Li's daughter?"
"Impossible, old man Li has two daughters; the eldest married out of town and hasn't returned for years, while the youngest ran away from home at fifteen and hasn't been heard from since."
"Who could that be?"
"I don't know."
"Alright, stop guessing. It's a good thing anyway."
"Right, right."
...
Seeing these chat records, I became quite curious.
Who is this mysterious woman?
Listening to everyone's discussion, I felt very intrigued as well.
A few days later, while I was brushing my teeth in the morning, I suddenly saw a young woman's figure on the video doorbell monitor.
"Who is it?"
With a mouth full of foam, I walked over to open the door.
"Hello..."
The woman looked at me, somewhat shy.
"You are..."
I looked at her in confusion.
"I'm here to apologize for my dad."
The woman said softly.
"Your dad?"
I was taken aback for a moment before realizing.
"old man Li?"
"Yes..."
The woman nodded.
"He is your dad, and you are his daughter?"
I was astonished.
The woman nodded again.
"So you are..."
I suddenly remembered that old man Li once mentioned he had a mentally challenged son and a wife who worked as a sanitation worker.
"Are you his daughter?"
I asked tentatively.
"Yes..."
The woman hesitated for a moment but then nodded. She looked at me and cautiously asked, "Oh, may I come in?" I quickly stepped aside to let her in. "Thank you..." The girl lowered her head, not daring to look at me.
old man Li often mentioned that his youngest daughter had severed ties with him and had never returned. So why now...
Suddenly, I remembered the chat records in the Property Group. "You are the one who paid for old man Li's surgery?"
"What is your name?"
"My name is Li Jing," she said softly.
"Li Jing..." I repeated her name. The girl nodded again.
I didn't know what to say next. How could someone like old man Li have such a good daughter?
"Can you tell me why you paid for his surgery?"
"Do you know what he did with your money?"
The girl shook her head with a bitter smile. "I know."
"But what can I do about it?"
