escape.She indeed unconsciously took half a step back.At this moment, a light laugh sounded: "Sit."“……”The man on the sofa was pointing to the other single armchair across from him."Are you here to ma..."I..." She opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to refuse. In the darkness, Shen Xiuqin quietly twitched his lips... He just said, the proud and arrogant Miss Jian would surely not let go of her dignity and endure such humiliation.

"If I really pick up all the money on the ground within one minute, would that money all be mine Would you also give me an extra reward of 50,000 yuan"

"She couldn't bring herself to say the 'not' after 'I'. Before her eyes, appeared that naive girl from prison, the only one who had ever been kind to her. As she lay dying, yearning for her dreams, Jian Tong’s thoughts raced. In the end, she made a drastic change of plans... Dignity Did she even have any left"

Now Jian Tong has nothing, no family, no relatives, no friends, no past. She is all alone.

What dignity... is there left!

The young master chuckled, "Of course, I always keep my word." A hint of mockery glinted in his eyes as he looked down at the woman sprawled on the ground, a comical sight.

"Good." The voice was hoarse and deep, unpleasant to the ear. Naturally, no one would pay attention to the sadness hidden in her words. In front of everyone, Jian Tong prostrated herself on the ground. Some giggled and pointed at her: "Young Master Li, look, does she resemble your pet dog"

"Just listen to that boy who gave money to Jian Tong," the boy said with a sniff, "Are you blind My Roke is a male dog."

"Oh oh oh, right!" the man chuckled with a creepy smile: "Your Roke is a male dog, so this one's a female. Hahaha～"

Jeers and laughter echoed around her. Jian Tong gritted her teeth, desperately picking up the scattered coins from the ground. They rained down from the sky, covering everything in sight. Jian Tong had to crawl and scramble to gather them all.

Jian Tong, don't listen, don't mind!

"Jian Tong, what are these compared to what you've endured in prison You should be grateful for the mercy of these young masters!"

Jian Tong, your life isn't worth anything, and what's the value of your dignity

Jian Tong, you must remember, you owe a young girl in her prime a life, a dream of Erhai Lake!

Jian Tong, you have nothing left now. Since only you remain, use everything you have to repay the innocent life that died protecting you! Fulfill that girl's dream of visiting Erhai Lake for her!

The jeers and taunts from the outside world, when she heard them, she only gritted her teeth fiercely, biting until they ached but refusing to let go.

A few pink banknotes fell before a pair of feet. Jian Tong didn't think much, crawling to pick them up. A sudden burst of laughter from behind startled him. It was the young master nicknamed "Li Shao," known for his lavish lifestyle. "Hey! Dog, wag your tail. No tail-wagging, no money!"

Jian Tong's body trembled, clutching the money even tighter, as if she wanted to pierce through the bills and into her own palm.

Someone shouted, "Shake it up! Shake it up!"

"Come on, bitch, shake it!"

"Hey, bitch, you don't want money anymore" that young master Li suddenly asked.

Money!… Jian Tong looked at the money in his hand, took a deep breath, and slowly moved his hips that were pressed to the ground.

"Hahahahaha…" The laughter grew louder, "Oh my! I can't take it anymore! My stomach hurts from laughing so much!"

“Whew whew whew~ I can't help it anymore, this guy! I’ve played all over the North and South, been to every kind of place, met every type of woman. There are plenty who are greedy, but a guy as greedy as this is something new. Pfft pfft pfft, truly an eye-opener!”

"Young Master Shen, the bitch is wagging its tail at you," Li Shao said maliciously. "Aren't you going to give her something"

Shen Shao! Shen... Xiuqin!

For a moment, Jian Tong's heart stopped beating! Slowly, stiffly, and with great difficulty, she raised her head... That one look drained all the color from her face!

Shen Xiujin sat quietly on the sofa, the dim lighting making him look even more noble and aloof.

Shen Xiujin's gaze fell on Jian Tong's face, indifferently and calmly uttering three words: "You're really despicable."

Jian Tong gritted her teeth, her breathing suddenly erratic. If it weren't for the thick clown makeup covering her face, her current complexion would be as pale as a corpse!

Thankfully... there's still this comical makeup to cover things up.

After a long silence…

Under Shen Xiuqin's gaze, Jian Tong slowly pulled out a smile that was incredibly brilliant. "Thank you, Mr. Shen," she said. No one could tell that this sentence almost took all her strength to utter, coming out from the back molars!

He called her cheap, and she thanked him for his gifts... Isn't this the Mingzhu City rose that was once so arrogant and proud Where is the steel in her spine now

Jian Tong took a deep breath and turned to look at Li Shao: "Li Shao, I've picked up all the money on the ground. Does what Li Shao said count" Li Shao waved his hand generously. Jian Tong wanted to stand up, but Li Shao stopped him calmly. "Don't rush to get up."

Saying that, he walked to the crystal platform and raised a glass of wine:

"Before you take the money, young master, I'll treat you to a drink."

A glass of whiskey was handed to Jian Tong, who hadn't stood up yet and remained on all fours on the ground.

"I don't..."

Just as Jian Tong was about to refuse, a low and slow voice sounded: "Fine wine paired with a beautiful woman, it would be a pity not to let her have some."

It's Shen Xiujin!

Jian Tong lowered her eyelids, hiding the bitterness in her eyes.

Shen Xiujin, how do you want to humiliate me before I'm happy

"Shen Daren is saying she's not a beauty" Li Shao doubted, "I don't believe it. There shouldn't be any ugly people in Donghuang."

After finishing, he seriously looked at Jian Tong's face. Regrettably, Jian Tong's heavy stage makeup covered her true features.

"Don't believe me" Shen Xiuqin's thin lips curled slightly, his gaze lazily falling on Jian Tong's face. "Go wash it off." Light and languid, also... utterly unconcerned.

Jian Tong was just about to stand up...

"Crawl over there." Li Shao said from the side.

His face paled again, Jian Tong braced his hands on the ground, digging his nails into the floor… Hold on! Jian Tong! What's this Compared to three years of prison life, what does this even amount to!

She obediently crawled to the restroom attached to the private room. Without makeup remover tools, she could only roughly wash off her clown makeup with hand soap. Of course, it wasn't as thorough as removing makeup with an oil cleanser, but...it was enough to see her gaunt and ordinary face clearly.

As I reached the door of the washroom and just about to open it...

"I've gotten used to seeing you crawl around, but I don't like your posture when you walk standing up," Li Shao smiled at the woman by the door, "What do you say we do about that"

Jane's legs and feet were clumsy, she had been crawling on the ground for a long time, now she could feel the piercing pain.

But she still did it, stubbornly enduring the hidden pain... She said she didn't need dignity, that she had none, and that she didn't care about it. Yet, deep down, she would rather endure the pain that men couldn't bear than make a sound.t quickly and snatched away the slippers she usually wore at home. Her face changed, and she was about to speak.He held a brand new pair of slippers in one hand, and grasped her ankle with the other....
