After the boy finished speaking, there was a burst of mocking laughter.
Yan Nuo never had much of an expression on his face. He didn’t smile, and no one felt that anything was wrong.
At this moment, another child said in a wretched tone, “However, I heard that the slut is quite good-looking.”
“Those who cannot be touched, no matter how good-looking they are, they are still dirty…”
The topic gradually developed in an indescribable direction, but Yan Nuo was not in the mood to listen anymore.
He would just treat these matters as unimportant gossip and listen to them without taking them seriously.
There were so many poor people in this world. How many could he save?
Yan Nuo had never thought that the girl would find him.
After school, he received a call from the driver, who said that there was a traffic jam and he would be a few minutes late. He asked him to wait patiently for a few minutes. He walked out of the school gate and stood under a tree, staring blankly at a cow by the roadside opposite.
He did not understand why a cow was called a sacred object by everyone.
The cow swaggered along the streets, disturbing the traffic. The ground was covered in cow shit, wasn’t it?
As he was lost in thought, someone suddenly spoke behind him.
“Hello, Young Sir.” It was a crisp girl’s voice.
At first, Yan Nuo did not realize that the person was talking to him.
When he didn’t recognize the person, Young Master Yan Nuo looked around and realized that there were no other boys behind him. Only then did he confirm that she was talking to him.
Yan Nuo turned around. He had to lower his head to see the little girl in front of him.
She was skinny and frail.
It was Yan Nuo’s first impression of Ji Yinbing.
The girl said she was eight years old.
However, to Yan Nuo, she looked like a six-year-old girl who was malnourished and slow to develop.
The girl was wearing a gray tattered Sari outfit, and her long hair was tied into a braid. Unlike the people Yan Nuo had seen in the slums, this girl was not very dark. Her skin color was actually a little fair. If she was well taken care of, she should be fairer.
The girl’s face was thin, making her brown eyes look especially big.
It was clearly a very common eye color, but Yan Nuo felt that these eyes were quite beautiful.
Yan Nuo was pulled back from his thoughts and he heard the girl’s mouth open and close. He tried to calm down and finally heard what she was saying. She said, “I don’t want to marry Ah Han. I’m only eight years old today. If I marry him at fourteen, my life will be over.”
“I’m not stupid. You just have to pay for my tuition. When I graduate from university and find a good job, I’ll return it to you. Believe me, your investment will be rewarded…” The girl gripped the corner of her shirt tightly with both hands. She clearly looked extremely timid, but when she spoke, her words were articulate and clear.
She must have memorized these words repeatedly.
Yan Nuo was distracted again.
He seemed to be especially distracted today.
The girl asked him timidly, “Honorable young gentleman, can you help me?” With that, the girl looked up at him quietly.
She was clearly afraid of being rejected by him, but she did not beg him anymore.
She was a very sensible child.
Just as Ji Yinbing thought that Yan Nuo would reject her like the others did, he suddenly opened his mouth and said, “If you’re quieter, and more obedient…” Seeing the hope in the girl’s eyes, Yan Nuo actually couldn’t say no.
His lips quivered, but he did not agree immediately.
He thought that since he did not lack money, he could treat it as raising a small thing.
At this thought, Yan Nuo said, “In the future, I’ll support you, but you must only belong to me.”
Ji Yinbing’s face turned pale.
Yan Nuo then realized that there was a huge discrepancy in his words.
He added, “You’ll be my slave.”
Ji Yinbing was relieved.
The master would not touch a slave. Ji Yinbing was completely relieved.
“Okay.”
The chauffeur was here. Before Yan Nuo got into the car, he gave Ji Yinbing an address.
Ji Yinbing returned home uneasily.
At home, her two brothers had just finished school and were playing with a group of children of the same age. When Ji Yinbing’s father saw her, he scolded, “Sadaya, where have you been! Ah Han came to look for you just now, but you weren’t around. You can’t make him angry. Be careful not to make him angry and abandon you.”
Ji Yinbing silently walked into the room.
Their house was low and dilapidated. It could not block the sunlight or the sun.
Her mother, a poor CHinese woman, was lying on a gray bed board. Even though her body was about to collapse, their father still wanted her every night. When Ji Yinbing was young, she could always hear her mother crying. Gradually, her mother learned to grit her teeth and not cry, afraid that she would scare them.
Ji Yinbing sat by her mother’s bed and looked at her yellow and thin face.
In her memory, her mother had always been like this. She looked malnourished and had been enslaved.
Ji Yinbing had once heard from others that her mother had been tricked into coming to this country and then sold off by human traffickers. When her mother first came, she was very beautiful. At that time, many men were fighting to buy her.
Originally, the human trafficker had shouted 50,000 rupees, but when Ji Yinbing’s mother first arrived, she was delirious and had a beautiful face. In order to reduce the price, they deliberately used this weakness to lower the price with the traffickers.
In the end, her father bought her mother for 40,000 yuan.
In that era, 40,000 yuan was only 6,000 yuan.
A beautiful woman was worth 6,000 yuan.
It was originally illegal to buy and sell people, but here, it became a big deal.
In the first few years, Ji Yinbing’s mother had been locked up in the house by her father. He tortured her every day and night. Even though her mother was pregnant, he still refused to let her off. Their older brother was born prematurely at eight months. The reason for his premature birth was because her mother almost had a miscarriage when his father bullied his mother.
If Ji Yinbing didn’t resist reality, then her mother’s current situation was her future.
A few years ago, Ji Yinbing’s mother gradually regained her senses.
When she realized that she had been sold to this place and had become a man’s property, she almost collapsed. She thought of escaping, but before she could run more than a hundred meters, she was caught by someone nearby. She cried day and night. Ji Yinbing cried when he heard her cry.
Later, she was resigned to her life.
She hated everyone here, but she loved and pitied her only daughter.
She often told Ji Yinbing when she was sober that women had to walk out and go to a better and higher place. Women could not submit to a man’s crotch or to reality.
The person on the bed woke up faintly.
Ji Yinbing called her mother in Chinese.
Her mother had taught her some Chinese.
