Chapter 7

Wu Hao wanted to sleep until he woke up naturally, but he was woken up by a phone call at more than nine o'clock.

A call from Xu Xinjie.

"Hello."

Wu Hao answers the phone and yawns.

"Are you sleeping?"

"Well."

"Didn't you come to school today?"

"What's the matter?"

Xu Xinjie was silent for a while.

"Wu Hao, my father wants to meet you."

She explained: "my father thinks there is something wrong with the money. I explained that he doesn't believe it. He must meet you. I think he misunderstood that I have a special deal with you. Can you help me explain it to him?"

"What's the misunderstanding?" Wu Hao can't help laughing.

"I asked you, knowing it."

"Call me when school is over."

Wu Hao hung up and went to sleep.

It's easy to doubt that a girl suddenly has so much money, especially when a beautiful girl like her suddenly gets so much money in such a special period. It's hard to avoid misunderstanding. Now that she has taken away the first kiss from others, it's an additional obligation of the contract to help her clarify.

……

After lunch, I came to Xu Xinjie's house.

She is tidying up the housework.

"Your father's not here?"

She seems to be the only one.

"My father wanted to receive you at home, but my mother didn't come back when she needed someone to take care of her. I'll take you to him later. I'm sorry, Wu Hao." Xu Xinjie said.

"Anyway, I don't care about the time when they all come out. You can clean up and talk about it."

"Just a moment, I'll be ready."

Xu Xinjie simply tidies up and takes Wu Hao to the hospital with her bag on her back.

Wu Hao is waiting at the door. Xu Xinjie goes up, and soon a middle-aged man comes out.

Walking very well, the typical pace of the elite in the shopping mall is confident and calm, but the expression on his face is not confident and calm. On the contrary, he is occupied by anxiety and fatigue. When he comes near, he can even see a lot of white silk on his head.

"Hello, I'm Xu Haifeng, Xu Xinjie's father. You're Wu Hao, aren't you?" Xu Haifeng's words with three interrogation attitude, although it is the first time to meet.

"Hello, I'm Wu Hao." Wu Hao held out his hand with a calm smile on his face.

"Hello."

Xu Haifeng looks at Wu Hao. After more than ten years in shopping malls, he can see at a glance that this young man is not simple, and his momentum is definitely not comparable to that of boys from ordinary families.

It also made him more worried.

"In the morning, Xu Xinjie called me and said that my uncle wanted to talk to me. I don't know where he wanted to talk?"

"There's a cafe near the hospital. Let's sit down and talk."

Xu Haifeng made a gesture of please, leading the way ahead.

……

There are not many people in the coffee shop. The soothing music is very comfortable.

Wu Hao and Xu Haifeng sat face to face.

"Say what uncle wants to say."

Wu Hao took a sip of coffee. It didn't taste very good. He put it down.

"Wu Hao, I can see that you have a good family, but some things can't be solved by money. My uncle hopes you can understand." Xu Haifeng is serious.

"For example?"

"For example, my uncle doesn't object to Xiaoxin's falling in love at this age. The 17-year-old girl is just at the beginning of love. It's not wrong for her to have a good relationship. But if someone wants to exchange money for a girl's relationship, my uncle thinks it's a big mistake. It can only bring spiritual harm to both of them."

Wu Hao couldn't help laughing at his serious and euphemistic expression.

"I think you have misunderstood that Xu Xinjie's money was really transferred to her by me, but the situation is not what you think. She bought it with her own time, not for nothing."

"She told me that if we really accept the money, Xiaoxin will be your person in the next five years. Am I right?"

"Of course, it's wrong. In fact, she has paid me for five years. I know it's hard for you to understand. For me, time is a commodity. Xu Xinjie sells her time at a certain price, and I give her the equivalent money. This is our transaction, not the kind you think."

Xu Haifeng was stunned for a moment. He really couldn't understand what he said. How could time be a commodity!?

"You said..."

Xu Haifeng wanted to ask whether what he said was true or false. Whether he thought about it or did not ask, it was meaningless.

"If time is really a commodity, what does it mean for the trader to give time?" He asked.

"It means the loss of life."

"You mean Xinxin's life is in danger?" Xu Haifeng was suddenly excited.

"It's no exaggeration. For Xu Xinjie, it's just a loss of five years' life. Suppose she could have lived to 90, and five years after she sold it, the five years from 86 to 90 disappeared, and she could only live to 85. "

Xu Haifeng looks at Wu Hao with trembling eyes.

It was as if he saw a demon in a human coat sitting in front of him.

"As long as we are not too greedy, there will be no danger to our lives." Wu Hao light way.

"Maybe."

Xu Haifeng took a deep breath and asked, "can I buy time back from you?"

"Yes, but I don't recommend it in your current situation."

"Why? I can't exchange my daughter's life for money, for whatever reason. " Xu Haifeng said excitedly.

"Your wife is still in bed and needs money badly."

Wu Hao stirred the coffee in front of him and said, "uncle, you don't have to care so much about the five years. Xu Xinjie is still young now. Five years is not much. She can use five years to change her mother's health. I think she is very willing. Let's take it as her contribution to the family."

"That's her life!"

"You said it was her life, and she had the right to make her own decisions, didn't you?" Wu Hao shrugged.

“……”

Xu Haifeng felt that he was trying to be reasonable, but he couldn't find a reason to refute.

"Wu Hao, can I exchange my own time for hers? This family is supported by me. I don't need her to pay for this family in this way. " Xu Haifeng said, slowly calm down.

Wu Hao didn't answer his question and stirred the coffee in front of him.

Can you?

Wu Hao looks at Xu Haifeng.

His goal now is very clear. After a deal, you can either make money or get more time. If there are no two benefits, the deal will be meaningless.

How can we make this deal meaningful!?

Suddenly, he pushed the coffee aside, crossed his fingers and leaned forward.

"I can sell Xu Xinjie's five years at the original price, but you have to complete a deal with me, a deal no less than ten years."

"Well, I promise you!" Xu Haifeng agreed without hesitation.

"So cheerful?" Wu Hao said with a smile, isn't it just a disgusting look?

"I've just thought about it. As long as you can return Xinxin's time to her, I will take the initiative to trade with you."

Wu Hao is respectful.

"In the future, uncle, if you have the capital to buy back, I can give you a lower price." Wu Hao said with a smile: "a man who can sacrifice his life to protect his wife and daughter deserves respect."

Xu Haifeng laughs bitterly. This kind of praise is hard to make people happy.

"For some personal reasons, we can't start the transaction yet, but I will get in touch with you again as soon as possible." Wu Hao said.

Xu Haifeng nodded.

"Is there anything else uncle wants to talk to me about? If not, I'll go first. "

"I'll see you off."

"You're welcome."

Wu Hao got up and left. After two steps, he stopped.

"Uncle, you just said that you don't mind Xu Xinjie falling in love at this age. Is that true?"

Xu Haifeng was stunned for a moment. He only had a wry smile. Of course, he didn't mind his daughter falling in love. Learning is important, but the youth of a girl is more important. But... If you fall in love with him, you really have to remind her carefully.

"Uncle, is that the default? Then I understand. "

Wu Hao's mouth raised a smile of fascination, his coat swung over his shoulder and left the cafe smartly.
