Chapter 745: 382 Flattering words
Aunt Hong gave a perfect explanation to the cause and effect without any logical flaws.
“Restricting personal freedom is illegal,” sneered Zheng Qing, pulling out a dagger and playing with it in his hand.
It’s somewhat absurd to talk about law with such a person.
Aunt Hong sighed, “I’m helpless, if I let him go, he would sneak back and make troubles. The girls here are all doing regular jobs. They signed a contract. How can I tolerate him taking them away as he pleases? Even if he sued, I’m still in the right.”
Decent work? How absurd for these four words to come from a woman like her.
Zheng Qing glanced at the young girls arguing fiercely on the viewing platform, “Are they volunteering?”
“Look at you, Mr. Qing. Could I force them? They are all living lives, if I can stop them for a day, could I stop them for a lifetime?”
“Let’s take the girl number eight for example: Her adopted father owed debt from gambling and the debt collectors were at her doorstep. To pay the debts, he sold his daughter to me. This child had a hard life, but at least she had food to eat here. If she continued to live with her adopted father, who knows if she could even survive. She was crying every day when she first arrived. But she’s smart, realizing her situation, she accepted her fate. You see, did I force her?”
“So you are a great benefactor then.”
“I am far from that, I am just trying to make a living, nothing more.”
“Well, you really should have been a storyteller with that mouth of yours,” contradicted Zheng Qing.
Zheng Qing raised his chin and pointed to the girl number ten: “And her?”
“Well… ” Aunt Hong was somewhat hesitant.
“Not yet evolved a story?” Zheng Qing changed his sitting posture, “No rush, take your time. I have plenty of time.”
“Indeed Mr. Qing, you really have a fondness for Yueyue. I’ll tell you the truth. I found this child washed up on the beach. After carefully nursing her for many days, she woke up saying she had lost her memory, her past wiped out completely. This isn’t a charity organization. I can’t afford to sustain a layabout. But she was willing to stay, so I let her stay here to learn and grow.”
“Why didn’t you hand her over to the police? What if her relatives are looking for her?”
Aunt Hong sighed, “How I wish I could just call the police. I’m an orphan myself. If I can help reduce the number of orphans in the world, so much the better. But the police couldn’t trace her history, so they reluctantly let me take her back.”
Zheng Qing frowned, growing restless. No matter what he said, the adversary would always have a barrage of reasons waiting for you.
The final result was announced. When the spotlight fell on the girl, her pale and beautiful face was full of panic. She stood there, still and awkward, eliciting even more frantic shouts from the crowd.
Aunt Hong smiled contentedly, “Just as expected, Yueyue did not disappoint.”
Zheng Qing chuckled, “A fallen princess with amnesia, interesting… ”
One of her subordinates walked hurriedly to Aunt Hong’s side, he whispered something and her face turned pale rapidly.
“What did you say? He ran away?”
The subordinate lowered his head, “We’ve sent people to chase, he won’t get far.”
Aunt Hong hid her surprise and smiled, “Mr. Qing, Miss, I apologize. Little Dong ran away. I’ll send people to chase him right now and make sure to return him today.”
Zheng Qing waved his hand, “No rush.” He kept his eyes fixed on Yueyue on the grandstand, completely fascinated by her.
Aunt Hong narrowed her eyes, “Please wait a moment, Mr. Qing. I’ll arrange it for you right away.”
She hurriedly left as soon as she finished speaking.
As soon as she stepped away, Zheng Qing kicked back, his feet on the coffee table, his arms crossed, a sly smile on his face, “This is getting more and more interesting.”
Ming Jing looked at the young girls on the grandstand, full of pity, “Such prime of youth wasted so. It’s a crime.”
Voluntary? Pull the other one.
“The casino and nightclub have always been intertwined. Once they spot a suitable person, they will bait him at the cards table, causing him to lose everything until he recklessly sells his daughter. The selected girl would have no choice but to stay, falling into the abyss under the dual weight of family and fate. She’s not the first, and she won’t be the last.”
Zheng Qing hooked his lips, glanced at Ming Jing, “Then use these young girls to gain benefits, squeeze them for all they’re worth. Your dear nephew sure has a good scheme going, making a habit of trampling on women to climb to the top.”
