“But Yuanyuan hadn’t drunk much, and she was already unconscious!” Yang Shenglong said.

"That's why I said she finally managed to seduce an honest man!"

Xu Qingqing said meaningfully, "None of the girls we're close to have had good lives, especially Yuanyuan. If she hadn't been strong enough and had principles and a bottom line these past few years, she would have already fallen into doing some shady things!"

These words left Wang Qian and Yang Shenglong looking at each other in bewilderment.

So Zhou Yuanyuan had been pretending all along!

All that talk about being naive or never having drunk alcohol is a lie.

If Xu Qingqing wasn't lying, then the one who was truly deceived was Lin Chao.

The fact that he was so drunk that he was unconscious and asleep in Lin Chao's arms was just an act.

They were just putting on a good show; they were all fooled.

"Qingqing, what kind of person was Yuanyuan before? And why did you say she had bad luck?"

Surprised, Wang Qian couldn't help but ask again.

Zhou Yuanyuan has been working at his shop for quite some time; she was introduced to the business by Lin Chao.

But even now, he can't see any trace of the other party faking it.

Didn't she tell you?

Xu Qingqing retorted, "Hasn't she been working for you for a while now? How come you know nothing about her situation?"

"How would I know if she didn't tell me?"

Wang Qian shrugged. "Besides, it concerns her privacy. I'm not here to check her background, so it's not appropriate for me to pry too deeply."

"Okay, I think I understand now!"

Xu Qingqing said with relief, "It's understandable that she didn't want you to know about her tragic experiences!"

"What's the meaning?"

Wang Qian became even more curious, "Can you explain yourself clearly in one go?"

If Zhou Yuanyuan were just a simple employee in his shop, he wouldn't care what she had been through.

but,

Zhou Yuanyuan is the love interest of his brother-in-law, Lin Chao.

If Zhou Yuanyuan is really that scheming, Lin Chao being led by the nose like a fool is not something he wants to see.

Most importantly, he was still using Zhou Yuanyuan's identity in the shop that Jing Hao and others rented.

If the other party has ill intentions, it will definitely have a significant impact on his business.

“If Yuanyuan didn’t tell you, then she’s choosing not to say it, and I can’t expose her, but…”

Xu Qingqing changed the subject and said, "If you consider her one of your own, I can tell you about her tragic experiences."

"I'm all ears!" Wang Qian immediately became interested.

"Just talking without drinking?"

Xu Qingqing rolled her eyes, opened another bottle of beer, and shoved it in front of Wang Qian, saying, "Drink this one, and I'll tell you!"

Wang Qian: "..."

Helpless, he had no choice but to take the beer and quickly finish it.

"Can we drink it now?"

"Can!"

Xu Qingqing seemed to have drunk too much, and her speech was somewhat slurred and incoherent, but Wang Qian could still roughly understand her intermittent narration.

But at the same time, he was also shocked.

According to Xu Qingqing, Zhou Yuanyuan was definitely not a well-behaved girl, much less as innocent as she appeared.

In high school, Zhou Yuanyuan was a very rebellious and outgoing girl.

However, despite her rebellious nature, Zhou Yuanyuan consistently achieved excellent academic results.

In countless practice tests before the college entrance examination, Zhou Yuanyuan was always the top student in her grade.

However, just two months before the college entrance examination, Zhou Yuanyuan dropped out of school without any reason.

Naturally, he did not take the college entrance examination.

The reason Zhou Yuanyuan dropped out of school was because she came from an extremely unfortunate family.

The father was a gambler and an alcoholic, and he often abused Zhou Yuanyuan's mother.

Whenever he lost money, he would take it out on Zhou Yuanyuan's mother.

Zhou Yuanyuan's family was originally quite well-off, but because of her gambling father, their fortune was quickly squandered.

In addition, Zhou Yuanyuan's mother is also a scheming woman who often indulges in debauchery and does shady things.

Originally, in order to maintain the family, Zhou Yuanyuan's parents would only engage in a cold war at first and would not mention divorce.

But just as Zhou Yuanyuan was about to take the college entrance examination, her father not only gambled away all of the family's savings, but also incurred tens of thousands of yuan in gambling debts.

After returning home, Zhou Yuanyuan's father began to abuse her.

Zhou Yuanyuan's mother couldn't stand it anymore and confronted her directly, saying that she had a man outside.

As a result, domestic violence became even more intense.

Zhou Yuanyuan's mother couldn't take it anymore and left the whole family.

Perhaps due to excessive anger, before leaving, he said that Zhou Yuanyuan was a scourge, an illegitimate child, who ruined her youth and her life.

After her mother left, Zhou Yuanyuan cried very sadly.

But this is just the beginning.

In his anger, Zhou Yuanyuan's father said the same thing, calling Zhou Yuanyuan a menace, and even beat her so badly that she was hospitalized.

It's easy to imagine how desperate and helpless Zhou Yuanyuan must have felt at that time.

After that, Zhou Yuanyuan gave up her studies, borrowed money from Xu Qingqing, and went to work in another city, thus missing the college entrance examination.

But after half a year of searching, he still couldn't find a decent job.

During the Chinese New Year, Zhou Yuanyuan thought that her parents should have calmed down and perhaps made up.

So he returned from out of town with his luggage.

Just as Zhou Yuanyuan had predicted, her parents reconciled.

She thought that the family could finally return to normal.

The day after she returned home, she was forcibly taken away by several people and forced to sell herself.

She resisted desperately, but the people who took her there said that her parents had sold her for five thousand yuan.

Just when she was powerless to resist, she happened to witness a violent incident between thugs, which gave her the opportunity to escape.

She originally wanted to call the police, but she didn't want her parents to go to jail.

So for the past four years, she has not stepped into her home again, effectively cutting off all contact with her parents.

During those four years, she begged on the streets, did all sorts of manual labor, and even picked up trash.

Until a year ago, Xu Qingqing met Zhou Yuanyuan by chance on the roadside.

At that time, Zhou Yuanyuan was picking up trash by the roadside, looking disheveled. She felt sorry for her and went up to her to give her some money.

She only recognized him instantly when they got closer.

Xu Qingqing comes from a well-off family and feels immense sympathy for Zhou Yuanyuan's plight.

So she sponsored Zhou Yuanyuan to study IT for a year, and all the expenses for that year were paid by Xu Qingqing.

But she didn't ask for anything in return; she just wanted to help Zhou Yuanyuan.

While Zhou Yuanyuan was studying at an IT school, she also started her own business, so she didn't have much time to spend with Zhou Yuanyuan.

This is why Xu Qingqing and Zhou Yuanyuan are as close as sisters.

"So Yuanyuan's background is so pitiful?"

While feeling pity, Wang Qian finally understood what Xu Qingqing had just said.

How innocent can someone who has endured all kinds of cruel persecution be?
