Yang Xing was baffled in his room, Luo Ye’s attitude made him clearly feel the hostility, but as far as he rembered, he hadn’t offended her, right? Could it be that he was jealous of Song Xiaoyang?
...
"Boss, she agreed." Qian i sashayed into the office, lifting a thin sheet of paper: "This lead, we can let it go now."
"For her, even if her family hadn’t had that incident, she would have agreed to such conditions anyway. She’s been hesitating these days, rely wanting to play the whore while setting up a monunt of virtue!" The man slowly swiveled his chair around, his scholarly image juxtaposed with his harsh words, making it hard for anyone to reconcile the two.
"I thought that might be a possibility, but, speaking of which, she is rather pitiful..."
"Answer the phone, answer the phone..."
The ringing of the mobile phone interrupted Qian i’s report, a mocking expression surfaced on the man’s face: "Qian i, sympathy does not suit soone like you." He then waved his hand, signaling Qian i to step aside.
Qian i’s eyes, cast down, flickered with dissatisfaction, and she walked out without a word, convinced that she couldn’t fully trust this man, believing firmly that one day, she would manipulate him into her grasp!
...
Liang Jing sat alone on a rock by the seaside, letting tears fall freely on her face, holding, startlingly, another agreent.
From today onwards, her emotions and future would no longer be under her control, yet what she obtained concurrently was a promise of money and power.
When she ran away from ho, she dreamt that one day, she and Luo Feng would live together, bring him ho to convince her parents and grandpa that, even in the city, she could have a happy marriage, without having to settle for a physically disabled or flawed man, or one who was too old or too poor, like most girls from the countryside.
Just as she was smug about her escape, looking forward to Luo Feng starting school, fantasizing about becoming Luo Feng’s happy bride one day, Qian i shattered her dreams.
She hated, hated the unfairness of the heavens, why was she born in the countryside? Alright, being born in the countryside was one thing, but why let her be born a girl with no status?
When she excitedly brought ho the first commission of 2200 yuan, her parents and grandpa were not as happy as she had imagined.
She could never have anticipated that her family would calculate against her, confining her, telling her the real reason for calling her back ho, marrying her off to the son of the Tofu Shop owner, the betrothal money already accepted.
All because of thirty thousand yuan and her brother’s tuition fees, her family sold her! This thought kept swirling in her mind, feeling ice-cold in her confined room, struggling hard, giving her earned money to her family, only to be t with this outco, she could not comprehend it!
Even if she resorted to not eating or drinking as a protest to the death, her parents and grandpa were not moved, incessantly persuading her it was for her own good, afraid she would end up unable to marry after staying outside for years, eventually, like village’s Chen Lingqin, marrying a divorced man in his thirties with a paralyzed old mother at ho.
But was that the sa situation? Chen Lingqin was a junior high school graduate selling eggs, she, Liang Jing, was a high school graduate working as a typist, and even at the City Committee printing shop; was it the sa situation at all?
In the end, it was her brother who couldn’t stand it, stealing the keys in the middle of the night while the family was asleep and letting her out, solemnly telling her: "Sister, even if I don’t go to university, I can’t let you marry unhappily, this is a big deal for your whole life, sister."
For a mont, her heart softened, considering staying for her brother, but she truly couldn’t settle for being an ordinary village woman, finally deciding to leave, she promised her brother that she would support him through university, regardless of what their parents did to her, her brother was innocent.
Running into an unknown village, she encountered a drunk man; fortunately, her cries for help brought others who prevented him from succeeding, though she ended up with injuries all over her body.
The kind family took her in, caring for her until she recovered, the female host’s conveyed ssage through her eyes was clear to her, but why would she stay for any man? Even a savior wouldn’t do.
However, once she returned after much hardship, Qian i told her that Luo Feng was Mayor Luo’s son, such news blew her mind, and also made it clear to her, dreaming of being with Luo Feng was just pie in the sky.
Thus, when Qian i showed her this contract, she hesitated for several days but eventually agreed. She was aware that while it seed like two agreents, it was rely binding on her alone, all the terms were vague, unable to find who the counterparties were even if one day she took it as evidence.
