In the morning, she left the hotel in pain, crying, having lost her most precious possession. It was then that Zhao Chun's call came.
"Xiaoya, how did you feel last night? That was your first night, wasn't it? The guest gave me so much tip."
Zhao Chun's gloating voice, filled with mockery and triumph.
Initially, she had intended to sleep with the mysterious man herself, but he hadn't fancied her. Thinking of the exorbitant fee, she thought of Zhang Xiaoya.
Zhang Xiaoya was the most beautiful girl in their academy, and Zhao Chun had always been jealous of her.
So she sent a video of Zhang Xiaoya to the man named Zhao Ming. He immediately booked her, paying fifty thousand yuan upfront. Zhao Chun, blinded by greed, had tricked Zhang Xiaoya that very day and offered her up.
"Zhao Chun! Why did you lie to me! Why!" Zhang Xiaoya was almost broken, asking through tears.
"Of course, it was for money," Zhao Chun felt no guilt at all, instead saying righteously, "Didn't you want to earn money to treat your mother's illness? I gave you the chance."
"Zhao Chun, you lied to me, it wasn't like that at all!"
Zhang Xiaoya cried, but Zhao Chun said nonchalantly, "Alright, alright, stop crying. It's happened now, what's the use of crying? You sold yourself yesterday, and I won't take it all. Come find me at the bar today, and I'll tell you something and give you some money, twenty thousand yuan."
"I won't take it! Zhao Chun, I'll sue you!" Zhang Xiaoya was close to despair.
Zhao Chun smiled and said, "Sue me? You're hilarious. You sold yourself willingly, what does it have to do with me? It's this twenty thousand yuan; if you don't want it, doesn't your mother need it? Are you going to delay your mother's treatment for your worthless self-respect? Alright, tonight at eight, come to the bar, and I'll settle the money with you."
After speaking, she hung up the phone directly, as if she had predicted Zhang Xiaoya would agree.
Of course, her willingness to give Zhang Xiaoya twenty thousand yuan wasn't out of kindness, but because she wanted to use Zhang Xiaoya to get more money and form a stable profit chain. This way, she wouldn't have to sell herself and could still get money. Wonderful!
As expected, Zhang Xiaoya came to the bar for her mother.
She told the staff she was looking for Zhao Chun, and after about ten minutes, Zhao Chun arrived fashionably late.
"Oh, Xiaoya, you're here. I thought you wouldn't come." Zhao Chun looked at Zhang Xiaoya with a half-smile, her words clearly carrying mockery and disdain.
Zhang Xiaoya seemed to have expected Zhao Chun to taunt her and remained silent, clenching her fists tightly.
Her voice dry, she said, "Twenty thousand yuan. Give it to me and I'll leave."
"What's the hurry? It's just twenty thousand yuan. I'll transfer it to you after I've spoken."
Zhao Chun walked closer to Zhang Xiaoya and smiled, "Xiaoya, you're the most beautiful girl in our academy, and the guests here like you especially. Look, you sold yourself for twenty thousand yuan in just one night yesterday. If you behave from now on, I'll introduce you to even better clients. Let's make good money, sister to sister, and your mother's illness will be no problem at all."
Hearing such shameless words, Zhang Xiaoya became furious. She shoved Zhao Chun away and said angrily, "Zhao Chun, what do you take me for! We're classmates, how could you do this!"
"Hey, don't be angry, Xiaoya. I'm doing this for your own good."
Zhao Chun said innocently, "You know, it doesn't matter if I earn this money or not, but it's different for you. Your mother's illness cannot be delayed."
Zhang Xiaoya seemed to be so enraged that her whole body trembled slightly. "I'll die before I agree to you!"
With that, she ran away from Zhao Chun.
Zhao Chun snorted, "Ungrateful wretch! I'll see if you don't come crying back to beg me later!"
As Zhang Xiaoya ran away crying, she accidentally bumped into someone.
Flustered, she repeatedly apologized, her voice choked with tears, "I... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."
The person she bumped into was Shao Jun.
He had deliberately positioned himself for Zhang Xiaoya to bump into him. Since he couldn't deal with Su Ding, he would deal with this girl who looked like Su Ding!
"Sorry is useless, what do we need police for?!" Shao Jun snorted, grabbed Zhang Xiaoya's wrist, and fiercely dragged her to the side.
Shao Jun's friend also walked over with a wicked grin and said lecherously, "Little sister, don't be scared. Have a couple of drinks with us, and we'll forgive you."
"Let go of me... let go!" Zhang Xiaoya struggled in terror, as if remembering that night. She suddenly bit down on Shao Jun's hand.
"Damn it!"
Shao Jun, in pain, shook Zhang Xiaoya off forcefully.
Zhang Xiaoya was already very slender. After Shao Jun's shove, she staggered backward and fell directly onto a man's legs.
Her eyes fell upon pitch-black, gleaming leather shoes and trousers.
She scrambled up from the ground in a panic, enduring the pain, and was about to apologize when Shao Jun lunged at her fiercely.
"You little bitch! Just as cheap as Shao Xu!"
Shao Jun was purely taking out his anger on Zhang Xiaoya, mistaking her for Shao Xu. He raised his leg to kick her viciously.
But he saw Zhang Xiaoya being grabbed by the man, who dodged the kick.
The kick missed, and Shao Jun almost tripped himself. Shao Jun, full of hatred, looked at the man with a hostile expression.
The next second, he froze when he saw the man's face clearly.
"Jin... Jin Ye?!"
Although the bar lights were dim, and the man was wearing sunglasses, the exposed features were all too similar to the man who stood at the pinnacle of power in Jiangcheng.
Shao Jun was completely stunned.
And Zhang Xiaoya, upon seeing the man's face, revealed a look of terror on her delicate features. She breathed heavily a few times, and just as she was about to speak, the man gripped her wrist and looked in Shao Jun's direction.
Even though his eyes were covered by sunglasses, one could still feel the displeasure radiating from him.
"You dare touch my person?"
His gloomy, ice-cold words sent Shao Jun plummeting into an ice cellar.
Before Shao Jun could beg for mercy, he was dragged out by several burly men, along with his few sycophantic friends.
Zhang Xiaoya's anger instantly turned into fear.
"You... what do you want to do?"
