CHAPTER 255: REVISED: CHAPTER 252 TRADING (8)

"Bang!" A loud crash rang out as the red sports car was instantly totaled.

...

Lin Yixun jolted awake from a nightmare, leaning weakly against the headboard, gasping for air. It turned out that, unknowingly, she had fallen asleep.

How did she end up in bed, with a quilt over her? Did Sister Yi cover her?

Lin Yixun gave a bitter smile, surprised that she could sleep so soundly at a time like this. She fumbled in the dark to find the bedside lamp switch, turned on the light, and then saw her phone on the nightstand.

Opening her phone, she saw the time was already twelve o’clock, yet Leng Yixiu had not appeared. She hesitated for a moment before finally dialing Leng Yixiu’s number.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off. Please try again later; sorry..."

Lin Yixun hung up, anxiety welling up in her heart. Leng Yixiu asked her to come here, but he himself was nowhere to be seen. What did he mean by this, was he toying with her?

The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. She got up and walked toward the door, thinking Sister Yi might know where Leng Yixiu was. But as she passed by the study, she noticed the light inside was on.

Lin Yixun paused slightly, seeing a familiar figure through the slightly open door. Her eyes froze for a moment, not knowing what to do. Logic told her she should knock and enter, but her feet felt like they were filled with lead, unable to move a step forward.

Just as she was about to turn around, the study door opened behind her, and a man’s cool voice sounded from behind, "Where are you going?"

Lin Yixun stopped abruptly, slowly turned around, forced herself to look up at the man in front of her, and mustered up the courage, "Mr. Leng, can we start the transaction now?"

The man gave her a deep look, curling his lips, "In such a hurry?"

Lin Yixun raised her chin, "I just want my mother to get better soon."

"Such a dutiful daughter," Leng Yixiu sneered, pointing towards the master bedroom, "Since you’re in such a rush, go inside first and clean yourself up."

The man’s tone was disdainful, much like how a patron might treat a prostitute, making Lin Yixun inevitably feel humiliated.

She gave a self-mocking smile. After all, what was the difference between her and a prostitute? A prostitute uses her body to earn money to support herself, while she was using her body to exchange for a kidney. They both use their bodies to achieve their ends, both employing degrading means.

Leng Yixiu’s disdain for her was not unfounded!

Lin Yixun gave a bitter smile, slowly turned, and walked step by step towards the master bedroom. She was asking a favor of Leng Yixiu, so no matter how excessive his demands were, she had to comply.

This was the path she chose, no one forced her. Since she chose this path, even if it was full of humiliation, she had to swallow it down with her blood!

The master bedroom’s bathroom was large and extremely luxurious in décor, but Lin Yixun had no mind to admire or envy. She turned the water temperature to the maximum, feeling the burn on her skin, but she did not lower the temperature.

The bathroom was filled with steam, the heat making her somewhat breathless. She couldn’t help but think, if she just died like this, how wonderful it would be, so she wouldn’t have to feel such pain anymore.

But, she couldn’t die.

Her mother needed her; her mother was still waiting for that kidney she would bring back to save her. And there was Ouyang Hao; if she wasn’t around, he would be very, very sad.
