"Chu Xinxin, has your family really gone bankrupt?"
Chu Xinxin was in a hurry to deliver her next order, so Jiang Zhi followed beside her in his little electric scooter.
"Yes, that's what the news says."
Chu Xinxin's voice was no different from usual. When they arrived at the next delivery point, she bowed to Jiang Zhi, handed over the package, and smiled as she asked for a five-star review—the whole process.
She quickly immersed herself in the role, and Jiang Zhi's gaze fell on her again and again.
"Phew, finally finished delivering. Come on, let's go get some late-night snacks."
The last guest lived on the tenth floor of an urban village without an elevator. Jiang Zhi hadn't climbed such a high staircase in a long time, and his leg almost gave way.
"Chu Xinxin, you're amazing."
Chu Xinxin skipped and jumped around as if nothing had happened, looking quite happy.
Jiang Zhi secretly took a picture of her back and sent it to Yu Hengze: "I've finished dropping her off. I'm going to get something to eat."
Two minutes later, he sent another message: She earned three yuan today.
Three hundred yuan... Chu Xinxin used to tip people more than that...
While having a late-night snack, Jiang Zhi figured out Chu Xinxin's schedule.
She couldn't find any work for the time being, so she started delivering food while looking for jobs.
"Jiang Zhi, do you have any good job recommendations for me?" Chu Xinxin asked, a little troubled. "My dad and grandpa are both incapacitated. I've always had a good life under their protection since I was little, and now I want to share their burdens..."
"With your looks, you should become a model." Jiang Zhi's eyes lit up, thinking it was a great idea.
Chu Xinxin seemed quite interested: "Do you have any company recommendations?"
Jiang Zhi seemed to remember seeing it online a couple of days ago.
"Wait a minute, I'll send it to you on WeChat!"
After receiving the message, Chu Xinxin said she planned to try it the next day. After having a late-night snack, Jiang Zhi took Chu Xinxin home.
She now lives in an old residential building in a remote area.
With the dim lighting and dilapidated building, Jiang Zhili suspected that if the wind were any stronger, the building would collapse.
They returned at 2 a.m. Chu Xinxin waved goodbye, thanked them, and went inside.
Jiang Zhi stood downstairs and clearly heard what sounded like Chu's father's voice: "You're back?"
"Dad, I told you not to wait for me. Your illness has only just started to get a little better."
"I can't sleep..."
Jiang Zhi stayed for a while and then went back.
He told Yu Hengze everything he saw and heard.
Yu Hengze keenly sensed something was amiss: "When did you get to know someone who owns a modeling agency?"
"I saw it online."
"Can you be a little more reliable? There are so many scams online!"
"In a society governed by the rule of law, there aren't that many problems..."
Yu Hengze almost choked on his breath. Jiang Zhi was unreliable. After thinking for a moment, he turned around and called Fang Nian.
Fang Nian didn't hold a grudge against him and agreed to accompany Chu Xinxin to the job interview.
"Fang Nian, don't tell her it was me..."
“Yu Hengze, even if you beg me to tell you, I won’t say anything…” Fang Nian’s voice, tinged with sarcasm, came through the receiver. “From now on, don’t concern yourself with her affairs. Since she’s fled abroad, just consider yourself dead.”
Fang Nian hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
After that day, Yu Hengze could only see some information about Chu Xinxin on the campus network.
It was probably Jiang Zhi's appearance that day that aroused Chu Xinxin's suspicion, because she didn't answer Yu Hengze's calls anymore.
The information source suddenly stopped.
Yu Hengze suddenly realized that the distance was really too far.
The next time Tang Mian received a message from Chu Xinxin was half a month later. She somehow found out his email address and sent him an email.
Yu Hengze originally intended to delete it directly, but somehow, he almost opened it again.
Luckily, I clicked on it.
Chu Xinxin was taken by Fang Nian to work as a prostitute in a bar.
Looking at Chu Xinxin on the stage, dressed in a sailor uniform and wearing bunny ears, Yu Hengze wished he could immediately fly back and bring her down.
Underneath the photo, Tang Mian left a comment: "I heard it costs 30,000 a night."
"Bang!"
Yu Hengze pounded his fist against the wall, and everyone else in the lab looked at him.
"Feel sorry."
Yu Hengze got up and went out, then knocked on the door of Yang Li's office.
"Come in."
"Professor, I'd like to borrow some money from you..."
......
A dark bar.
Chu Xinxin was held by the hand by Xu Mei, who wouldn't let her go inside.
"Come back with me!"
Xu Mei had a cold expression on her face, wishing she could suddenly gain strength and carry Chu Xinxin back.
"I won't go back, I'd rather die than go back! If I go back, my whole family will starve this month!"
Chu Xinxin clung to the pillar beside her and refused to let go.
Xu Mei frowned: "This isn't a good place. Whoever has money, you have to submit to them..."
"Auntie, you didn't say that when you first brought me here."
Chu Xinxin repeated Xu Mei's words to her.
Xu Mei's eyes suddenly reddened.
Chu Xinxin immediately stopped the car: "Auntie, please don't do this. Sister Qian will take care of me because we've known each other for a while."
"No matter what I say, you won't listen, will you?"
"It's not that I don't listen, it's just that we really don't have any money at home..."
"I have......"
Chu Xinxin interrupted her: "But you should save the flowers for your grandparents; they need them more."
Xu Mei fell silent, and in the end, she let go of Chu Xinxin and left alone.
Chu Xinxin watched her retreating figure and silently begged for forgiveness in her heart.
Chu Xinxin didn't turn around and walk into the darkness until Xu Mei got into a very familiar car.
Business is always good at night.
Today, Chu Xin was dressed in a sequined halter dress. She had a hot figure and a cool face, and her appearance caused a sensation throughout the venue.
Yu Hengze stood at the entrance of the bar, gazing into the distance. Suddenly, he felt that all the hatred, disgust, anger, and resentment in his heart had vanished completely.
Instead, there was amazement, heartache, distress, and regret.
It seems she was the lead dancer today, dancing from 10 pm until 3 am when the store closed, without taking a break in between.
Those thin high heels were probably new; the ankles were chafed and red.
Yu Hengze waited at the entrance of Dark Night for about half an hour before Chu Xinxin and her colleagues came out.
"Xin Xin, that Mr. Guo kept pestering me for your contact information today. I couldn't refuse him, so I gave it to him. You're not angry, are you?"
My colleague had a big smile on his face and didn't seem embarrassed at all.
"How could that be?" Chu Xinxin said with a forced smile.
"That's great. I drove today, let me take you home."
A colleague opened the door of a Rolls-Royce, and Chu Xinxin, without suspecting anything, walked over.
Just as she was about to get into the car, a greasy hand suddenly reached out from inside. She looked down and saw that Mr. Guo was in the car, staring at her with a lewd expression.
His fingers were still caressing her skin.
"Wait a moment......"
Chu Xin thought of turning back to ask her colleague for help, but unexpectedly, her colleague pushed her inside and slammed the door shut.
