âWhat? Someoneâs sending a woman to you again? Congratulations! Letâs have her brought up so we can take a look!â
The people in the private room immediately egged on.
Ye Shaoxian threw the dice on the table and called his bodyguard. âWho is it this time? What do they want from me?â
Recently injured, Ye Shaoxian had no interest in such diversions. Moreover, he had just regained the ability to speak and was preoccupied with thoughts of revenge against Rong Qi.
âThe Lu family from the east of the city. Their drugstore sold counterfeit products, leading to a death. Theyâve been reported, and now theyâre seeking your help to smooth things over. They also hope you can introduce them to some pharmaceutical bigwigs.â
Hearing that, Ye Shaoxian frowned deeply. He asked, âWhat do they think I am? How do they expect me to know pharmaceutical moguls? So they think sending a daughter over will make me handle their messy situation?â
âThey said if you agree to help, you can do whatever you want with the daughter.â
âHey, hey, Shaoxian, why not just have some fun?â one of his friends teased.
Annoyed, Ye Shaoxian replied, âTell them to make an offer and solve their own problems. Everyone in the capital knows that I, Ye Shaoxian, only care about fun, not business.â
âUnderstood, Iâll ask.â The bodyguard left to inquire.
Ye Shaoxian continued to down his drink, waiting.
Soon, the bodyguard returned and reported, âThe Lu family offered ten million.â
âTen million? Theyâre too greedy! Thereâs no renowned Lu family in the capital. Tell them Iâll give at most three million, take it or leave it. I donât lack women,â said Ye Shaoxian.
âHey, Iâll add a million, bring her here to have a look.â
âIâll add another million. Just offer them five million,â suggested the debauched friends. âItâs been a long time since someone publicly sold their daughter like this. Damn interesting!â
The bodyguard swiftly left and soon returned, this time with a woman, bound and gagged. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ye Shaoxian, lounging back, examined her with half-closed eyes. He said, âNot bad-looking.â
Lu Qi was pushed to the ground by the bodyguard. Her eyes were swollen, her face lightly made up, and her hair styled.
Ye Shaoxian ordered her gag removed, looking at her, âYouâre Lu Qi? Still a student, huh? Not bad, the Lu family is quite sincere. Come, make me comfortable, and Iâll let you go. What do you say?â
PTUl!
Lu Qiâs expression seemed tired but filled with hatred. She shouted with her hoarse voice, âDo whatever you want!â
âHow pathetic! Being sold by my father and stepmother to these wastrels. I never expected them to drug and bind me to deliver me to a hotel after all the uproars and tears. Thereâs no point staying in such a family.â Lu Qi cursed inwardly.
She looked despairingly at the ceiling, tired of struggling. âFor just a few million, Father believed the lies of that woman and her daughter and sold her to these debauchees. I give up. Thereâs nothing left for me to cherish in this life.â
Lu Qiâs only regret was for the man who had captured her heart at first sight. She knew she would probably never see him again.
Lu Qi sniffled, shivering on the ground in the thin clothing her heartless father had dressed her in..
