Jiang Zui was pinned down on the sofa by the burly man.
“Little sister, you’re even prettier up close.”
The burly man stared intently at the girl beneath him, swallowing hard. “A true beauty! Tonight, big brother will definitely treat you well. Didn’t you want to go to college? Big brother will support you, give you money. Be good and listen. As long as you make big brother happy, I’ll buy you whatever you want, okay?”
Jiang Zui’s eyes were blurred with tears.
“Uncle, please let me go. I don’t want anything, I want to go home. I beg you, please have mercy, let me go…”
“Hah, a misunderstanding?!”
The burly man sneered coldly. “Jiang Jiaguang owes me six hundred thousand. He and his wife Chen Shuping used you as collateral, and I even gave them an extra four hundred thousand.”
His thick, stubby fingers gently brushed away the stray hair at the corner of the girl’s lips. The obese man gazed at Jiang Zui with infatuation. “Big brother has played with so many women, but one of your caliber is truly rare. When Chen Shuping was bragging about your looks, I didn’t believe her. Seeing you today, you’re even more stunning than she claimed! Spending a million on you is worth it!!”
The man’s words exploded in Jiang Zui’s ears like a thunderclap.
Her face instantly turned deathly pale, and her lips trembled uncontrollably. “What did you say? They… they sold me?!”
“That’s right!”
The burly man said smugly, “To get you, I spent a fortune. Be good, I’ll cover all your living expenses from now on!”
“No, no!”
Fear surged through Jiang Zui’s heart like a tide, and she felt suffocated. “Impossible, Auntie would never do this to me! Let me go back, I need to ask them!”
The burly man was clearly growing impatient. He grabbed the girl’s neck.
“Although you’re beautiful, I prefer obedient women. Don’t be difficult. If you get hurt later, don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Jiang Zui resisted desperately, pushing against the man with all her strength. “Let me go! Otherwise, I’ll call the police!”
“You bitch!”
The burly man lost his temper and slapped her hard. “Dressed like this and still pretending to be innocent?! What a slut!”
The force of the slap was immense. Jiang Zui saw stars, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
Seeing the girl finally stop resisting, the man smiled with satisfaction.
“Hehe, don’t worry, big brother will be gentle with you~ Little sister, tonight will definitely make you feel like you’re in heaven!”
His thick, large hand reached for her chest and then yanked violently.
The thin clothing couldn’t withstand such force. With a tearing sound, her top split open from the collar.
The man stared wide-eyed.
“Holy shit, this is spectacular!! Worth it, this million is worth it!!”
He swallowed hard, no longer caring about anything else, and lunged forward.
“Come on, let big brother love you properly, baby. Lift your legs… Ah!!”
A heart-wrenching scream.
“My eye, my eye!!”
It turned out that Jiang Zui had secretly taken off her high heels while the burly man was distracted. When he was consumed by lust, she stabbed his left eye with the heel.
Blood streamed down the burly man’s face, dripping onto Jiang Zui’s torn clothes and blooming into eerie red flowers.
“Damn you, you bitch! How dare you stab my eye?!”
This was the first time Jiang Zui had seen so much blood.
She was terrified by the man’s bloody appearance.
The burly man writhed in pain, clutching his injured left eye with one hand while roaring like a madman, “You bitch, I’m going to kill you! I’m going to fucking kill you right now!”
Jiang Zui’s hands trembled as she dropped the blood-stained high heel and staggered toward the door.
Meanwhile, at home.
“Come on, come on! I bought some braised pork head and chicken feet. Let’s have a good drink tonight!”
Jiang Jiaguang poured himself a full glass of Erguotou, his face beaming with joy.
“Husband, drink up today!” Chen Shuping cheerfully served Jiang Jiaguang some food. “That girl is still worth something—Boss Liu was actually willing to pay a million! With that money, we can find a good job for Xixi, and use the rest to buy you a nice car!”
“Great!”
Jiang Jiaguang slapped his thigh and agreed enthusiastically. “That’s the plan! I’ve been wanting an SUV for ages! Finally, my wish is coming true!”
Bang, bang, bang!
A series of forceful knocks sounded at the door.
Chen Shuping frowned. “Son, is that you?”
Bang, bang, bang!
The knocking grew louder, but no one answered.
Chen Shuping reluctantly stood up, muttering as she walked toward the door. “Xixi, how many times have I told you not to knock so hard? You’ll break the door. Did you forget your keys again? Next time, you have to… Wh-what? How is it you?!”
“Who is it? Is Xixi back?” Jiang Jiaguang didn’t even look up, waving toward the door. “Xixi, today’s a good day—your job prospects are looking up! Come on, have a drink with your dad!”
No one answered.
Jiang Jiaguang felt puzzled. He stood up, grumbling impatiently. “What are you two doing? Why aren’t you saying anything… Jiang, Jiang Zui?!”
At the door stood Jiang Zui, her hair disheveled and her clothes tattered. Even more horrifying, her body was covered in bloodstains.
“Zui Zui, h-how did you get back? And this… this blood…”
Chen Shuping suppressed her inner terror and spoke, her voice trembling.
Jiang Zui slowly shifted her gaze, staring unblinkingly at Chen Shuping before her.
“What, you didn’t want me to come back?”
Chen Shuping was startled by Jiang Zui’s lifeless stare. “No, Zui Zui, you misunderstood your aunt. Actually, I…”
“Why are you back?! Did you take good care of Boss Liu?!” Jiang Jiaguang, clearly drunk, shouted at Jiang Zui, his face flushed red.
Jiang Zui didn’t respond, her eyes fixed intently on Chen Shuping. “You sold me, didn’t you?”
“I… I was just…”
Chen Shuping was frightened by Jiang Zui’s terrifying demeanor, her voice instantly dropping to a whisper. “Zui Zui, you’ve misunderstood us. We were doing this for your own good… You know our situation…”
Jiang Zui extended her bloodstained hand. “Give me back my admission letter and my documents.”
Her pale, slender arm was smeared with crimson bloodstains. Chen Shuping was terrified by Jiang Zui’s crazed appearance. “Zui Zui, where did all this blood on you come from?”
Jiang Zui lowered her gaze, staring at Chen Shuping as she spoke word by word. “It’s that man’s blood. I stabbed his eye out.”
Chen Shuping’s legs gave way, and she collapsed to the floor.
Jiang Jiaguang stumbled back two steps in shock, nearly falling over.
“Jiang Zui, what… what did you just say?”
Drunk and unsteady on his feet, Jiang Jiaguang leaned against the wall, shouting at Jiang Zui, “You—what did you just say?”
Jiang Zui stared expressionlessly at the man before him, enunciating each word clearly,
“That man named Liu Rui Feng—I stabbed his left eye blind.”
