“This is all my money. Hurry up and leave.” This was the first thing Chen Huahua said when she called her father to the side.

“How much?”

“300,000.”

“Are you trying to dismiss a beggar? I owe the loan shark three million yuan. If you don’t give me the money today, I won’t leave. I’ll die either way.” Her father was clearly being shameless.

“But I really don’t have any money,” Chen Huahua pleaded.

“If you don’t have money, what about him? Go and ask him for it.” As he spoke, he glanced at Chu Qing.

Chen Huahua’s expression changed slightly. She shook her head and said, “No, he doesn’t have money either. He’s still a student.”

“Chen Huahua, I see you hooked up with an underage student. Does his family have money?” Huahua’s father questioned shamelessly.

“No.” Chen Huahua refused immediately. “If his family was rich, would they have taken a fancy to me?”

Her father was speechless. For a moment, he could not find a reason to refute his daughter’s words. He paused for a moment and said again, “Break up with him since he doesn’t have money. I’ll find you a rich man. Other than being a little older, everything else is good.”

Chu Qing was furious when he heard that, but Chen Huahua didn’t seem to have much of a reaction. She should have been used to it long ago. Or rather, she knew her father had come to look for her today for this reason.

“Never.” Chen Huahua refused and added, “Ever.”

Chen Huahua was not easily fooled. She was aware that the wealthy men her father intended to introduce her to had their flaws and were not necessarily suitable partners. She understood that many of them had peculiar interests or hobbies, and being sold off to them would be a fate worse than death.

“Fine, if you’re so determined to disregard my well-being, then I’ll go to this boy’s house and cause a scene. If you won’t make things easy for me, I won’t make things easy for you either!” Her father shouted in anger.

Chu Qing’s perspective underwent another transformation. Chen Huahua’s eyes welled up with tears as her father’s taunting deeply affected her, almost bringing her to the point of crying.

“No. Don’t do it, okay? I’m begging you.” Chen Huahua begged her father in a sobbing voice.

“Fine. Just give me three million yuan and I’ll leave immediately. Otherwise, there’s no need to talk about it.” Her father’s attitude was very firm.

“But I don’t have money,” Chen Huahua stammered. She was really about to be driven crazy by her father.

“Then go and sell your body. I know a few friends who do business in that area. Besides, you’re a woman. You’re not at a disadvantage. Just play with those rich men for a few nights. You don’t have to marry them…”

“Why didn’t you do it then?” Chen Huahua asked, leaving him speechless.

Yes. Why didn’t he do it? He’s a man, so he should earn more than a woman.

Chu Qing was taken aback by Huahua’s father’s response. “How do you know that I’ve never done that?” the father retorted.

The room fell into a heavy silence. It became clear that Huahua’s father was resolute in his pursuit of money, regardless of the means. He showed no hesitation in suggesting that Chen Huahua should sell her body and be taken care of by a wealthy man. It was a cruel and unsettling revelation, leaving a sense of despair in the air.

Chu Qing noticed that Chen Huahua’s willpower was gradually eroding, as he observed her stealing glances at him more frequently. He understood that his mere presence here exerted an invisible pressure on her. He feared that in order to protect herself from her father’s relentless coercion, Chen Huahua would eventually succumb to his shameless request. It pained him to think that she might agree to such a degrading compromise just to shield him from harm.

Sure enough, 15 minutes later, Chen Huahua bit her lip and said with difficulty, “I’ll give you the money. Can you leave first?”

The father was overjoyed when he heard this, but Chu Qing couldn’t help but intervene.

“No.”

Then, he grabbed Chen Huahua’s hand and dragged her into the room.

At this moment, the room was as messy as the outside. It was obvious that this was her father’s doing.

“What’s going on?” Chu Qing asked Chen Huahua. He felt that there was a need to understand this matter thoroughly.

Chen Huahua was still lost in her thoughts about Chu Qing’s response. She hadn’t anticipated that he would overhear her conversation with her father. How could she possibly explain the situation to him now?

Hence, Chen Huahua asked hesitantly, “Did you hear everything?”

“Yes.” Chu Qing nodded.

Chen Huahua’s shoulders collapsed. She didn’t ask how Chu Qing could hear her. She just lowered her head and explained, “He’s my father. He’s a gambler. When I was young, he gambled heavily and lost all my family’s money. Then, he was chased out by Mom.”

“But he didn’t change. When he had money, he gambled. When he didn’t, he scammed and stole. One day, he sent me, who was 15 years old, to an old man’s bed. I ran away.”

“I ruined his plans. He looked for me for three months. He almost beat me to death that time. Sometimes I really don’t know if I’m his biological daughter or not.”

“Afterwards, things took a turn for the worse. I gave him money, and he stopped meddling in my affairs. But this time, he went too far. He demanded three million yuan. Where can I possibly find that much money? Moreover, he had already taken a significant amount from me in the past, totaling over 5 million yuan. I really don’t want to carry on like this anymore. I want to put an end to this life,” Chen Huahua confided, her voice filled with despair..
