“It’s okay, just had a nightmare. What succulent dishes did Mom make?” Gu Qingxin played up to her mother affectionately, seeking refuge in her mother’s arms to avoid the suspicion of her strangeness.
“We have your favorite drunken crabs.” Lin Yin gently stroked her daughter’s silky hair, her eyes full of remorse.
If it weren’t for her, her daughter wouldn’t have had to leave the Gu family and suffer with her.
“Why is your voice hoarse, is your throat uncomfortable?”
“No, I’ll be fine after drinking some water.”
“Then come out quickly.” Lin Yin stood up and walked out of the room.
Getting up from the bed, Gu Qingxin still experienced sharp pain in her belly. Was that man insane? Why did he inflict a tattoo on her there!
She’s frustrated knowing that she can’t even wash it off.
Gu Qingxin felt a throbbing headache.
After having dinner with Lin Yin, Gu Qingxin returned to her room, picked up her bag, and prepared to go out.
“Mom, I’m going to work. You should get some rest early.”
In current summer vacation, Gu Qingxin and Peng Pan are working at Kase Entertainment City, promoting alcohol. Fearing her mother might worry, she didn’t tell her the truth and made an excuse of working night shifts with a classmate.
“Be careful on the road, and don’t come back too late,” Lin Yin warned with concern.
The mother and daughter weren’t in dire financial straits, for their daily expenses were sufficient. The Gu family would regularly provide an allowance, and Lin Yin made a modest income from a small flower shop she ran.
But since Lin Yin’s health was deteriorating, Gu Qingxin wanted her to get a full-body medical examination. However, Lin Yin staunchly refused, so Gu Qingxin decided to work during the summer vacations, harboring hopes of saving enough money to bring her mother to the hospital for medical check-ups.
Ever since she left the Gu family, losing a well-cushioned life, Gu Qingxin learned an important lesson that no matter what happened, life still had to go on.
She must find Peng Pan and ask her about what happened the other day!
Upon reaching Kase Entertainment City, Gu Qingxin changed into her work uniform. The uniform for the salesperson was quite formal: a white shirt and a black skirt, which only served to accentuate her gorgeous figure. Nonetheless, the shirt was unbuttoned to a rather low point, and the skirt was extremely short.
One can imagine the attractiveness when she squatted down.
Exiting the dressing room, Gu Qingxin stopped one of the girls she worked with, “Xiaomei, has Peng Pan arrived yet?”
“Aren’t you two inseparable best friends? Why are you asking me whether she is here or not?” Xiaomei replied with an irritated tone.
Inseparable?
Thinking about it now, that word seemed so ironic.
Alcohol promotion was commission-based, so even if they were colleagues, there was always an underlying competition amongst them. Gu Qingxin didn’t pay any heed to Xiaomei’s poor attitude.
Without waiting for Peng Pan, Gu Qingxin picked up the drinks and was ready to start promoting.
“Qingxin, don’t say I never give you opportunities. The VIP room is filled with big clients today. If you handle it well, tonight’s commission could be more than what you earn in over a month.” The manager pulled Gu Qingxin aside.
“Thank you, manager.” Gu Qingxin awkwardly pulled her arm away, took a step back, and replied, “Then I’m going to go.”
“Go ahead.” The manager scrutinized her from head to toe. He dared say that no one in the whole Kase was as seductive as this girl.
Carrying the wine, Gu Qingxin arrived at the VIP room, gently knocked on the door, and walked in.
Inside the room, thick clouds of smoke filled the air. A group of exquisitely dressed men were in there, each accompanied by a provocatively dressed woman. The room echoed with tumultuous laughter, kissing sounds, and everyone was recklessly indulging in age-inappropriate games.
