“What? Someone’s sending a woman to you again? Congratulations! Let’s have her brought up so we can take a look!”
The people in the private room immediately egged on.
Ye Shaoxian threw the dice on the table and called his bodyguard. “Who is it this time? What do they want from me?”
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.
“The Lu family from the east of the city. Their drugstore sold counterfeit products, leading to a death. They’ve been reported, and now they’re seeking your help to smooth things over. They also hope you can introduce them to some pharmaceutical bigwigs.”
Hearing that, Ye Shaoxian frowned deeply. He asked, “What 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?”
“They said if you agree to help, you can do whatever you want with the daughter.”
“Hey, hey, Shaoxian, why not just have some fun?” one of his friends teased.
Annoyed, Ye Shaoxian replied, “Tell 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.”
“Understood, I’ll ask.” The bodyguard left to inquire.
Ye Shaoxian continued to down his drink, waiting.
Soon, the bodyguard returned and reported, “The Lu family offered ten million.”
“Ten million? They’re too greedy! There’s no renowned Lu family in the capital. Tell them I’ll give at most three million, take it or leave it. I don’t lack women,” said Ye Shaoxian.
“Hey, I’ll add a million, bring her here to have a look.”
“I’ll add another million. Just offer them five million,” suggested the debauched friends. “It’s been a long time since someone publicly sold their daughter like this. d.a.m.n interesting!”
The bodyguard swiftly left and soon returned, this time with a woman, bound and gagged.
Ye Shaoxian, lounging back, examined her with half-closed eyes. He said, “Not bad-looking.”
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, “You’re Lu Qi? Still a student, huh? Not bad, the Lu family is quite sincere. Come, make me comfortable, and I’ll let you go. What do you say?”
PTUl!
Lu Qi’s expression seemed tired but filled with hatred. She shouted with her hoa.r.s.e voice, “Do whatever you want!”
‘How 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. There’s no point staying in such a family.’ Lu Qi cursed inwardly.
She looked despairingly at the ceiling, tired of struggling. ‘For just a few million, Father believed the lies of that woman and her daughter and sold her to these debauchees. I give up. There’s nothing left for me to cherish in this life.’
Lu Qi’s 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..
