When He Jingxi came back, he smelled the smell of alcohol at home.

He walked a few steps inside and saw Pei Yue sitting on the carpet next to the sofa, with a wine bottle on the coffee table.

She drank half the bottle.

He Jingxi threw his coat aside and frowned and said to her, "Drinking in broad daylight? You have become more capable, but what about dinner? You didn't cook anything?"

He hasn't come back for several days. Pei Yue didn't know that he was coming back today. She had something on her mind and had already forgotten about cooking.

She stood up and said with a drunken smell, "Oh...what do you want to eat? There seems to be nothing in the refrigerator..."

He Jingxi watched her staggering to the kitchen and said angrily, "If you dare to drink during the day again, I will throw you into the swimming pool to sober you up."

Pei Yue opened the refrigerator, and sure enough, there was nothing there.

She turned her head and stared at him, feeling an unspeakable boredom in her heart.

She doesn't want to live like this anymore, she really wants to leave.

But she didn't dare.

Not to mention whether Zhong Chen's proposal can be implemented to the end, and whether she can escape from He Jingxi's hands. Even if she can, what are the consequences?

If she leaves, what will Lu Lin do?

When she thought of Lu Lin, she gave up all her thoughts.

What should he do if she leaves at this time? He has not even finished high school and is still a child. He has no relatives around him. How can she leave him?

She gave up the idea, but she still felt unhappy. She felt that her future was bleak. Pei Fangzhi would no longer harm her, but he had already pushed her into another deeper abyss.

It was even harder for her to get rid of He Jingxi.

At night, He Jingxi was absent-minded and unwilling to cooperate. He Jingxi was annoyed by her reaction and kicked her out of bed. He said angrily, "I'm giving you shame, right? Who can I show you by looking like this? Get out of here."

go out!"

Pei Yue was not in the mood to coax him, so she got up and went to the guest room.

——

The cafe in a few days.

Sitting at the table, Pei Yue returned the stack of application forms for studying abroad to Zhong Chen.

I apologized and said, "I've thought about it and thank you very much for what you said to me, but I can't leave. My brother is alone in the country and I don't feel at ease."

Zhong Chen said anxiously, "My parents are also in China. I can ask them to take care of your brother! Pei Yue, if you get the certificate from me, we will be a family. You can safely leave your brother to my family!"

My father is a university professor and my mother is a lawyer. They are very cultured and wealthy. You can completely trust them!"

Pei Yue showed sincere envy, "Then your family is really good. You may... don't know me very well. My parents are not well-educated. My mother ran away with someone a few years ago, and my father is addicted to gambling.

Sex, defrauded me of the money from selling my house to pay off the debt. Back and forth, I paid off a gambling debt of no less than 500,000 yuan for him. If someone hadn't helped me...the loan shark would have caught me and sold my body."

She saw the shock flashing in Zhong Chen's eyes and smiled, "Yeah... you haven't heard of these things, right? I can't go with you, because you and I are not on the same road, and you and

Your family members are all decent and well-established people. How unbearable it is to be attached to a family like mine. If my dad knew that I was attached to a family like yours, he would definitely go to the school to find your father and the law firm to find your mother.

, tried every means to borrow money, caused trouble outside, and still asked you to cover for him... Can you really endure such a life? Zhong Chen, even I can't bear it, how can you bear it."

Pei Yue said calmly, "Thank you for what you said to me. I'm very touched...but I think it's better not to drag you into a bad situation like mine. You are a very good person and you deserve better."

of."

Pei Yue stood up and said, "I wish you good luck in studying abroad. Goodbye."

The moment she turned around, the person opposite stood up suddenly, grabbed her, and hugged her tightly.

Not knowing that she had been living like this, Zhong Chen held her face tremblingly, "Is this the reason why you keep rejecting me? Then I tell you, I can bear it, will you come with me?"

Pei Yue's eyes were sore and she looked at the person in front of her with wide eyes.

Zhong Chen looked at her, she was still so young, but there was a look in her eyes.

Vicissitudes of life and indifference.

Those are all left behind by the pain that life has inflicted on her.

His heart ached, and he lowered his head and touched her lips. Only then did he realize that she had lived such a hard life. No wonder she was rarely in school. While her peers were enjoying the freedom of campus, she was running for life.

He solemnly reiterated, "I don't think what you said can scare me away. I still want to be with you. You just need to consider whether you are willing to go with me. Don't worry about the rest."

Pei Yue's initial determination was suddenly confused by him. She didn't expect that there would be such a person, and he actually said that he didn't mind her family.

She was so confused that she forgot to care about him and he kissed her rashly.

Delusions welled up in her heart again. She longed for freedom, light and the future.

She was almost shaken again when a voice suddenly came from behind her, "Why didn't you tell him that you were kept under my care for three years?"

Pei Yue froze..

Behind him, He Jingxi walked up, pulled her out of Zhong Chen's hands, put his arm around her shoulders, and raised his eyes to the young man opposite, "When she was 20 years old, I bought her for 200,000 for the first time.

You've slept with me for three years, you have my name tattooed on your thigh, and you slept on my bed last night...can you bear this?"

Zhong Chen saw that Pei Yue's face turned pale and she couldn't explain anything, so she knew it was not a lie.

He looked at her lowering her head lower and lower, feeling a surge of anger at being deceived and fooled. He took two steps back, turned around and walked away quickly.

…

After getting off the car, He Jingxi came over, raised his hand and grabbed Pei Yue's hair, pulling her into the house.

Pushing her down on the sofa, He Jingxi cursed angrily, "***! I really shame you, you dare to play tricks with me, you just want to hook up with a rich man, right? Okay,

I’ll make it happen for you. Tomorrow I’ll take you to the dinner party as a publicist. You like to be played with by men, so I’ll let you play with it to the fullest!”

Pei Yue lay there with no reaction or feeling.

She has become immune to He Jingxi, and she will not have any special feelings about anything he says or does.

But she still felt sad today that she hadn't felt in a long time, because Zhong Chen's disgusted look at the end made her feel that her little self-esteem had been severely trampled on.

It turns out that she is not worthy. What qualifications does she have to be liked and cared for by others? How is she worthy...

She doesn't deserve it...

Seeing her cowering there, motionless, with a look of despair, He Jingxi felt even more annoyed. He wanted to go up and slap her twice, but he raised his hands in disgust, but he didn't want to touch her again.
