life pawn game

Chapter 91
Li Huimei anxiously followed Jiang Ruoying and walked up the special elevator.

The faint weightlessness when the elevator started was keenly captured by her old body. She coughed and leaned on the ground with her crutches.

She smiled wryly. The saying that there are gains and losses is probably very reasonable. When people get old, the sense of sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell declines, but the ability to perceive discomfort in the environment increases.

It was colder and the wind was stronger, and even the slight sway of the elevator could bring a shock to her body.

"Seeing that lord, what should I pay attention to?" Li Huimei put her hands on the crutches and turned to look at Jiang Ruoying.

She is the second batch of members to join the club, and she has never seen that mysterious existence, and she has never felt the power that is beyond the reach of human beings.

But through the descriptions of other members and those who are of the same status as her, whether fearful or fanatical, pious or taboo, she has fully understood the greatness of that mysterious being.

"The shopkeeper is very kind, as long as you remain respectful." Jiang Ruoying looked at this distant relative, and she was as puzzled as Xia Qiu and Wen Nairong about what Li Huimei wanted to buy.

"That's good." Li Huimei smiled inwardly, as long as she remained respectful, it became an expression of kindness.

Also, if everything about the club is true, the gap between her and that person is like the gap between ants and humans.

Humans don't step on the bodies of ants, flood their nests with water, or roast ants with a magnifying glass. Isn't this a manifestation of kindness?

Going one step further, human beings are willing to listen to the pleas of ants and satisfy their wishes according to their preferences, so they are completely loving masters and bodhisattvas who save suffering and suffering.

When the elevator reached the top floor, Li Huimei got close to that being and the wish in her heart. Her hands were shaking and her feet were like a crazy child, not listening to her mother's cries.

"Grandma." Jiang Ruoying held her hand.

The blood relationship between her and Li Huimei comes from her father, and the relationship is far away. It takes five or six generations to find a common ancestor.

However, blood relationship is not the only factor that makes a relationship good or bad, there are also benefits.

Li Huimei wanted to get her as an employee of the club, and she also wanted to use the power of the Li family.

"It's okay, I'm just a little excited." Li Huimei held Jiang Ruoying's hand and calmed down slowly.

She stepped out of the elevator and walked on the big red carpet.The soft touch came from the soles of the shoes. She felt that she was climbing a ladder. Behind the ladder and above the sky was the abode of the gods.

Jiang Ruoying pressed the doorbell, and the fairy music rang.

After a while, the door opened.

Jiang Ruoying left, Li Huimei asked her to take down her crutches, it was too disrespectful to use crutches.

She took a long breath, lowered her head, and walked into the room.

She could only see Wen Nairong's heels, and after a short walk, Wen Nairong stopped.

"You look down and don't look at anything, it's the same as entering the palace." A boy's voice sounded, "Don't be restrained, just raise your head."

Li Huimei raised her head slowly.

Her gaze jumped over the dark red coffee table, and she saw the boy sitting on the sofa.

She lost her mind.The young man's appearance is enough to pile up all the beautiful words. His body is sunken inside the single sofa, his legs are hanging in front of the sofa, his hands are on the armrests on both sides, and he is smiling.

The young man with such an upright and dignified demeanor and posture did not give Li Huimei any warmth and peace of mind.

Something invisible and intangible surrounded the boy. Li Huimei's sixth sense, or her subconscious mind, told her based on the calculations of the five senses that the boy was scary and evil.

Her hair stood up and her shoulders trembled, which only happened to her body in the cold outdoors at night.

She understood that youth is a dark and cold night.

Her calves trembled, her gaze dropped by herself, she was about to kneel on the carpet behind the coffee table.

The boy's voice interrupted her tendency to kneel.

"What do you want?" asked the boy.

"Youth!" Li Huimei spoke too quickly, her throat was not ready to speak, her voice was very hoarse.

This answer has been lingering in her mind for two weeks and in her life for more than 20 years. It is deeply rooted and unshakable.

"You still have four years to live." Xia Qiu looked at the trembling old lady, "Are you sure you want to change your youth?"

The old lady was wearing a white shirt and dark blue trousers, very simple, very energetic, very unconvinced.

Li Huimei is thinner than ordinary old ladies.The so-called beautiful and fashionable grandma must be talking about old ladies like Li Huimei.

"I'm sure I want to be young." Li Huimei didn't hesitate, even though she only had four years to live.

"Why?" Xia Qiu asked the doubts in his heart.

Wen Nairong looked at Li Huimei, equally curious.

Li Huimei was embarrassed, she hesitated for a while, and revealed her heart: "I was a model when I was young, and the most proud thing in my life is not the family property, but myself..."

Because of being a model, Li Huimei often quarreled with her family. When she was 50 or [-] years old, no one quarreled with her, and no one could use her seniority to suppress her. Fall into old age.

In her whole life, she did not love her parents, her husband, or her children, but only loved herself and her own beauty.

Money and power are brought to her by her parents and the family, not hers.

Family affection, love, and friendship are a thread held by two people, and both are indispensable. She doesn't like to rely on others.

Fame and achievement are false names given by the external society. These two things exist in the society and have never been truly owned by her personally.

Only beauty, only her own beauty, belongs to her completely, not subject to anyone, not relying on any outside.

On her birthday, she woke up from a hollow hangover and saw her own face in the mirror in front of the sink.

Probably because she was too haggard that day, and her head was too dizzy after drinking, she couldn't recognize herself.

For the first time in my life, my own image in the mirror was separated from myself.

Inside the mirror is Ri Huimei, and outside the mirror is Wai Huimei.

Wai Huimei is attracted by the haggard Li Huimei in the mirror, just as Narcissus is infatuated with the reflection in the water, she is in love with the girl in the mirror.

At that moment, like Narcissus, she threw herself into the reflection.

But she couldn't, she touched the hard and cold mirror.

She regained her senses, there was only one person standing in front of the sink, and the one in the mirror was actually herself.

The love has faded, but not dissipated.

She went from Narcissus to ordinary narcissist.Just like the men in the gym who are obsessed with their muscles, in order to keep their muscles intact, eat protein powder and boiled chicken breasts, she began to exercise her beauty.

And just like men in the gym often play with their muscles, she consciously shows off her beauty on all occasions.

How to smile the most beautiful, how to take the most beautiful steps, how to turn your head, how to eat, how to pull your hair blown away by the wind...the knowledge is no less than fitness.

She lived half her life happily, loving and being loved.

Muscle, however, always atrophies, and so does beauty.

She removed all the mirrors in the house, and removed the pond and swimming pool in the yard. She didn't want to see that she was no longer beautiful, and her photo album only contained photos of her youth.

In the past 30 to [-] years, she has suffered a lot.

When she accepted Chi Yucheng's invitation to join the club, and the first time she heard about the great existence, her beauty and her lover flashed in her mind.

"...So, I want youth, and I want to return to my lover." Li Huimei raised her head, mustering up the courage to look at Xia Qiu.

She got rid of her shame. Since a woman can love a man, a woman can love a woman, and a woman can love no one, why can't she love herself?

"Your points can only buy you 20 years of youth." Xia Qiu leaned to the right, resting her elbows on the armrest and resting her face on her palms.

20 years ago, Lee Hye Mi was 62 years old.

This is not enough.

Her beauty had shrunk by then!
She clutched the shirt on her body, stretched her neck, and wanted to plead like a waterfowl, but she held back.

"Don't worry." Xia Qiu laughed, "I heard a good story. I will take away your aging, add 20 years of youth, and you will be enough to return to the pinnacle of beauty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Huimei knelt on the ground.

Xia Qiu shook his head, these pawnbrokers always refused to call him shopkeeper, but gave him some strange names.

"Get up, what you want has been given to you."

Wen Nairong helped Li Huimei up and brought her to the full-length mirror.

Looking at the beautiful and moving image of herself in the mirror, Li Huimei cried with joy.

She touched her neck in the mirror with her hands, pressed her face against the mirror, and kissed her lover.
