Xia Ruoxin understood, and she smiled bitterly. Two rolls of tears slid on her pale face. She knew. She felt it and understood.

“My name is Shen Wei.” The woman opened a drawer, took out a pack of cigarettes, and lit one smoothly. She put it between her red lips and inhaled. A beautiful lip color smudged on the cigarette butt. It was coral red, perhaps a bit too red. She said simply as she crossed her slim legs. Then, she blew a ring of smoke out. Her beauty was so enticing that one couldn’t help but be captivated by it.

“You must learn to endure. In here, everything about you is for sale including your smile, face, and body. Of course, you will receive whatever you want whether it is money or fame.”

“This is the first time. I don’t wish to have a second. I can protect you this time but not the next or the one after that. In the future, you must learn to endure. Your life in exchange for money.”

Her words might have sounded cruel. However, in here, this was the only way to survive.

Once she has learned the know-how, she could survive in this crevice. It would be hard to live a life like this, but for some women, this was also redemption.

“You are done for the day. Go home. We will talk more after you have healed. I don’t want you to scare my customers away looking like this.” Shen Wei straightened herself. The words coming out of her mouth always sounded so heartless.

“Thank you.” Xia Ruoxin suddenly bowed deeply. Her face was bruised all over, and every part of her body hurts. A man, when hitting a woman, had not been merciful.

The women here had no dignity to begin with because they were living a lowly life. No one had treated them like a human being.

“No need to thank me.” Shen Wei closed her lovely eyes lazily. “If you are smart, you will know what I mean. If you are smart, you won’t have to send yourself into utter destruction.”

There was a hidden meaning behind her words. Perhaps now, Xia Ruoxin might not understand. In the future, she would come to appreciate its meaning.

In the darkest time of her life, God was being kind to her. When she was at her most desperate, toughest, and the time when her life was worse than death, she met two people. One was Shen Wei, and the other was…

Xia Ruoxin turned around and was about to thank her again, she heard Shen Wei’s dreamy voice.

“I wish to know. Why have you come here? You don’t look like that kind of person.”

Xia Ruoxin gently parted her painful lips. “I have a daughter. She’s three years old, and she’s sick. I need a lot of money.”

“Oh…” Shen Wei gave a long sigh, “I think, she must be a very adorable child.”

“Yes.” At the thought of her daughter, a small smile broke on Xia Ruoxin’s torn lips. That little angel was her only source of hope and gratitude in her life.

“She is very cute and beautiful. She’s more important than my life.”

Previously, she had loved Chu Lui to the extent of losing herself. Now, she was losing everything for loving her daughter.

It wasn’t because she did not love herself, she just couldn’t. Each time she made the decision to love herself, someone else would appear. One whom she loved more and she couldn’t bear to leave behind.

For example, Rainy.

“Is that so?” Shen Wei’s lips curved up slightly as the hand on her face slid gently away.

“Maybe one day, I can tell you my story in exchange for yours. For now, I can’t.” She closed her eyes as her fingers rest on her face. Xia Ruoxin was long gone by then.
