Chapter 548: Chapter 551: Reluctantly Leaving
The Shi family took the money and abandoned Ye Xingbei in an underground brothel, quietly making their exit.
The manager toyed with Ye Xingbei for a bit before saying contently, “Although her face is swollen and her original appearance is obscured, true beauty lies in one’s bones, not their skin. At first glance, this one here is top-notch.”
“Indeed,” agreed a servile, fawning man next to him as he bowed, “With proper training, she could perhaps become the Leading Courtesan.”
The manager nodded in approval and told the man, “Take her to room 1106. Inform Mr. Zhang that we have a new, untouched gem here. He’s sure to be satisfied.”
His finger traced over Ye Xingbei’s bloody whip wounds, “Mr. Zhang has a particular taste for this. We should be able to fetch a good price.”
The servile man bowed in agreement, his smile so wide his eyes were barely visible.
He personally escorted Ye Xingbei to room 1106, instructing two sturdy middle-aged women, “Clean her up. Mr. Zhang will be here tonight.”
The women bowed and affirmed their understanding.
The servile man ran his hand over the unbruised skin of Ye Xingbei, narrowing his eyes in enjoyment, “No wonder Manager Guo called her a top-notch product. This skin, smooth as satin, must have been painstakingly pampered. It’s a pity…”
He shook his head in feigned regret, all the while his eyes gleaming with smugness and lewdness.
No matter whose precious daughter she once was, once in this place, she could no longer remain a lady but had to become a prostitute.
After Mr. Zhang had his fill and the novelty wore off, he might just get his turn to ‘train’ and enjoy her under his own pretense.
Though her face was swollen, her figure was beyond stunning. The most exquisite part was her silky smooth, fair skin. It felt like the clear part of a freshly peeled egg, so enticing that one could hardly move after touching it, yearning to hold her and grind against her.
Unfortunately, Mr. Zhang was a valued guest of the boss and had a particular penchant for such a treat.
If Mr. Zhang found out that he had enjoyed fresh meat first without leaving any for him, he would never let him off.
Otherwise, he would have relished her without hesitation.
With a few more excessive gropes, he finally withdrew his hand reluctantly. He instructed the two women, “Watch her closely. Don’t let her kill herself. If such a valuable good ended up dead, you two together couldn’t cover the loss.”
The women hastily agreed. The servile man held the hand that had touched Ye Xingbei to his nose, savoring the lingering scent before reluctantly exiting.
Ye Xingbei, in pain, was barely conscious.
She could hear people talking, but she was too weak to move. Her hands and feet were tied, and her mouth was gagged.
Although she could not move, she understood that she had been brought to a place where women serviced men.]
The Shi family had taken the money and left. She had been taken to a room, and Mr. Zhang would be coming in the evening.
Even though Ye Xingbei was in pain and her consciousness was fuzzy, she understood what was to happen.
She couldn’t believe that Wu Qizhen was cruel enough to sell her into a brothel.
Even less could she believe that Ye Wuwei and Ye Zhitong, who had taken her in for five years, would abandon her without a second thought, without even letting her speak, handing her over to Wu Qizhen.
At this very moment, she was gripped by the pain of betrayal from Ye Zhitong and Ye Wuwei, the hatred for Wu Qizhen, and the fear of what was to come.
She firmly held onto the belief that Gu Junzhu would save her.
Yet this place was far from Beijing, and Gu Junzhu was unfamiliar with it. He didn’t have much manpower here. How long would it take him to find her?
