In the following time, President Wang demonstrated the power of money very well to Lu Sisi.
He casually picked up a wad of cash, estimated to be worth forty to fifty thousand yuan, and threw it in front of Lu Sisi.
"Take off your clothes, and I'll give you this much."
Humiliation surged like a tide, and Lu Sisi felt suffocated.
She desperately wanted to slap President Wang's face several times, but she couldn't. She could only stare at him with a look of unwillingness and complexity.
Seeing this, President Wang said, "If you're not willing, you can pick up the money on the ground and leave anytime. I won't force you."
The money on the ground, only forty to fifty thousand, was far from enough for Lu Sisi.
She needed money, desperately needed money. Only money could change everything for her.
Finally, with trembling hands, she slowly unzipped her outer jacket.
As the jacket fell to the ground, a naked greed and possessiveness flashed in President Wang's eyes.
"Continue your performance, don't stop!"
Excitedly, President Wang threw several more tens of thousands at Lu Sisi, this time even more than before.
At this moment, earning money became very simple. Yet, it also became incredibly difficult.
Since the weather wasn't cold, Lu Sisi was wearing a camisole under her jacket.
If she continued, there would be nothing left.
Tears of despair streamed down her cheeks. She couldn't resist President Wang's temptation of money.
As President Wang continuously threw banknotes, Lu Sisi became more and more compliant.
Suddenly, President Wang lunged forward and violently pushed Lu Sisi down.
She closed her eyes, telling herself that this was just a nightmare. When she woke up and got the money, the nightmare would be over.
She could start her life anew. This was just temporary.
But how could she have known that there was no such thing as a free lunch?
President Wang had experienced a low point last year. His money wasn't so easily obtained.
Suddenly, she abruptly opened her eyes.
"What is this!"
Her pupils contracted sharply, and she was so scared she wanted to get up.
Slap! Slap!
President Wang slapped Lu Sisi across the face twice and cursed loudly.
"You're already here, so why are you acting so proper with me?"
"You used to deliver yourself for money."
"Why are you so reluctant now that you're in front of me, playing hard to get? Are you looking down on me!"
"Pah!"
"Haven't you already succumbed to the temptation of money, willing to do anything for it."
"Let me tell you, for seventy to eighty thousand yuan, I can get dozens of women like you. I was being polite to you, and you actually think you're something special."
"Playing the whore and setting up a memorial archway."
President Wang finally revealed his true nature. He was a pervert.
...
"Let go of me!"
Lu Sisi was scared, and she regretted it.
But it was too late to regret it now.
President Wang lost his patience and even beat her to make her obedient.
She cried out for help but received none.
Evil unfolded silently in the quiet night.
...
The next day, President Wang was fully dressed and radiant.
"The money is over there, five hundred thousand. For the remaining thirty thousand, you'll have to come here a few more times, and I'll give it to you."
"You've satisfied me very much. As long as you behave, I won't mistreat you. Tomorrow I'll give you a ring. Remember to be here on time to wait for me."
President Wang left.
Lu Sisi's eyes were vacant, devoid of life, like a walking corpse.
She had bruises on her mouth and her lips were broken. Her face was as pale as paper.
For money, she had gone this far.
Frowning, she slowly picked up the banknotes from the ground.
She counted them. It was exactly five hundred thousand.
President Wang had broken his word, shorting her thirty thousand.
However, with this five hundred thousand, her pressure would be greatly relieved.
At least, her brother wouldn't give her cold looks over money anymore.
As soon as she left the hotel with the money, she received a call from Tang Xiaomin.
"Sisi, where were you last night? Why weren't you answering your phone?"
"Your brother called me, saying he couldn't find you anywhere. He was planning to call the police."
She had come in a hurry last night and hadn't told her brother.
"Uh... I just went out to clear my head last night. I'm going back now."
"Sisi, your voice doesn't sound right. What's wrong?"
"Uh... nothing. I just caught a cold."
A cold...
Tang Xiaomin on the other end of the line chuckled.
She had personally seen Lu Sisi go into the room with President Wang last night and hadn't come out all night.
Just now, she had seen Lu Sisi come out carrying a suitcase, bruised all over, and walking unsteadily.
What had happened between her and the pervert President Wang was self-evident.
"Oh... are you sure it's just a cold? But I just saw you coming out of President Wang's room."
Upon hearing this, Lu Sisi's mind went blank.
She looked around frantically and finally saw Tang Xiaomin behind her, with a smile that was not a smile.
She had a bad feeling. Why was Tang Xiaomin here?
Why had she changed her usual demeanor and said such things to her? And with that expression?
As Lu Sisi looked on in confusion and shock.
Tang Xiaomin slowly walked up to Lu Sisi and openly scrutinized her disheveled appearance.
"My, my, how did you get yourself into such a state? Could it be President Wang?"
Tang Xiaomin's demeanor had changed, just like those people who usually mocked and insulted Lu Sisi.
"Tsk tsk... President Wang really is something. He didn't hold back at all. He doesn't know how to cherish a woman."
The playful smile on Tang Xiaomin's lips struck Lu Sisi like a thunderbolt from a clear sky.
Shock and anger flashed across her face alternately.
"Xiaomin, what... what do you mean? Why are you here? What do you know?"
"Heh..."
Tang Xiaomin laughed.
She looked at Lu Sisi with the eyes of a fool.
"Because you're so pitifully stupid, I'll kindly tell you something."
"To be honest, the masked man who beat you so badly in the abandoned factory was me."
Boom!
Lu Sisi was struck by lightning again, a hundred times more intense than before.
After a long while, she finally spoke with a tremor.
"Why? Tang Xiaomin... we're best friends. Why would you do this to me!"
As she said this, Lu Sisi roared hysterically, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.
"All this time, I've considered you my best friend! I've never trusted anyone like this, only you. Why did you beat me so badly?"
"Do you know that I have tens of thousands of yuan in medical bills because of this? My life is ruined!"
Tang Xiaomin watched Lu Sisi's breakdown.
Since the truth was out, let the storm be more violent.
Tang Xiaomin smiled calmly.
"I know."
"Because, that was me too."
