"This is a cheque for fifty thousand dollars. You are dedicated to your work, even if your skills are lacking, but you have plenty of enthusiasm."

The man with his back to the light pursed his thin lips, elegantly and nobly tidying up his luxurious clothes, showing no interest in turning around to look at her.

"Take this cheque and disappear from my sight."

Chu Yixiao, with her messy hair atop the bed, clenched her hands tightly, veins nearly popping on her hand.

That check on the table, fifty thousand dollars, no small sum, just enough to cover her brother Chu Li's medical expenses for the month. The hospital has long urged her to hurry up and pay, otherwise, they will stop his medication.

Rich people, big spenders.

But so what if they are wealthy? Can the rich insult people at will with their money?

Chu Yixiao raised her head and met those contemptuous and icy eyes that harshly stabbed at her pride.

The man's neatly cut short hair, prominent nose, clearly defined facial features, she admitted, he had a face that could bewitch all beings, a physique that surpasses the most perfect men in the world.

But, it turns out that in his eyes, she is just a professional lady, her entire body reeking of the foul smell of money worship.

To think that Chu Yixiao has lived for twenty years without ever being so insulted, even losing her virginity for no reason was bearable, but was also treated with such disdainful and contemptuous eyes.

And another thing!!! The thing that Chu Yixiao could least stand in her life was this kind of person who thinks too highly of themselves.

Despite her anger, she indeed could not afford to retaliate significantly.

But, she does have some small change left!

She groped around in her pocket.

She retrieved a handful of change from her pocket. It was not too much nor too little, precisely ninety-five yuan and fifty cents. This was the change she got from the hundred yuan she only had left after having breakfast yesterday, which she gave to the shop owner.

Chu Yixiao gripped the coins tightly in her hand, lifting her chin haughtily as she gazed at the tall man seated on the couch.

"You have some skills, alas, they fall short in size. The mistress finds them insufficient," she echoed the man's tone from earlier time and even imitated his expression, lifting her small head with pride.

After saying this, she elegantly tossed the handful of change onto the damn man, "Goodbye!"

Turning around to leave, her high ponytail swished through the air. Chu Yixiao felt extremely exhilarated.

From his expensive coat, a slew of paper bills and coins fell onto the lavish floor. A few steel cents even spun around a few times before they clattered to the ground. The sound was reminiscent of the woman's scornful laughter just now.

Luo Xinchen was stupefied for a couple of seconds before he regained his composure. Damn it, she actually had the audacity to offend him!

Fuming with anger, he stood up and threw the coins onto the floor, his body exuding a wicked and wild aura.

Just dare to cross paths with me again, woman!

......

Chu Yixiao returned home in a sorry state.

She constantly rinsed her body with warm water, her fingers rubbing her skin forcefully. Even if it meant scraping off her skin, she wouldn't stop.

Each time she thought about the smell of that man lingering on her body, she couldn't help but feel nauseated.

Only when her skin became wrinkled from the prolonged rinse did Chu Yixiao finally show mercy to herself.

Her twenty years of innocence, all destroyed because of one drunken night.

It seems as though heaven decreed that she would never taste happiness.

Exiting the bedroom, Chu Yixiao found herself silently teary-eyed as she looked at the family photo hanging on the wall.

In that photo were her mother, herself, and her younger brother. Their mother was holding the hand of a chubby child, and the three of them were smiling happily.

Her mother in the picture was gentle and beautiful. When she smiled, her crescent-shaped eyes were especially captivating, a trait she had passed down to Chu Yixiao.

If it weren’t for her brother falling seriously ill, their father wouldn't have grown to despise their mother. It was this illness that led to the entry of the mistress with her daughter into their home, which subsequently drove her mother to commit suicide by jumping off a building.

She arrived at the scene that year, the lifeless body of her mother lying in a pool of blood showed no response to her cries. For the first time, she truly realized that it was just her and her brother left in this world...

Overwhelmed by her sorrow, her phone's notification sound chimed. Chu Yixiao quickly composed herself; no matter how difficult life was, she needed to grit her teeth and bear with it.

Chu Yixiao picked up her phone and saw the caller was him!

It was that man, her heartless father who had abandoned the three of them, Chu Guoming.
