“Thank you for your help.”
Just as she finished speaking, someone seemed to say something on the other end of the phone.
Soon, Master Xiao’s voice came through again, “Miss Bei, your friend wants to talk to you.”
“Give her the phone.”
A moment later, Lan Yan’s weak voice came through the phone, “Hello, is this Yutang?”
Hearing the abnormal hoarseness in her voice, “It’s me. Are you alright?”
“Yutang, I was wrong. I was so naive.”
At this point, she could no longer suppress her emotions and burst into tears.
Bei Yutang remained silent, quietly waiting for Lan Yan to vent.
Fifteen minutes later, her sobs gradually subsided, but her voice still trembled with emotion.
“Yutang, I misjudged him. He deceived me.”
“Lan Yan, calm down first, speak slowly. Here, you don’t have to worry about being bullied anymore, or anyone coming after you.”
Bei Yutang’s voice was calm and gentle, like a soft spring breeze, which soothed Lan Yan considerably.
Lan Yan took a deep breath before slowly saying, “Thank you, Yutang.”
“We’re friends.”
“Why don’t you ask me what happened to me?”
Bei Yutang heard the return of her usual tone in Lan Yan’s voice: “If you want to tell me, you will.”
Lan Yan sighed inwardly: “Yutang, I… I think I’m blind. Before, I was…”
Lan Yan spoke for a long time, recounting her entire life story.
Lan Yan used to be an innocent and carefree girl who eloped with her childhood sweetheart, a fellow villager. They thought that by working hard together and earning money, their parents would approve of their relationship.
However, their happiness was short-lived. Her boyfriend developed a gambling addiction, and she worked tirelessly to pay off his debts. But she lacked education and skills; her earnings were barely enough for basic living expenses, far from covering his gambling debts.
She tried to persuade him to stop gambling, even threatening to leave him. Each time, he would agree readily, but he would quickly relapse. Lan Yan was angry and made a scene, but to no avail.
Once, during a particularly heated argument, the man even hit her. From that day on, the man beat her frequently. She considered leaving, but couldn’t let go of the relationship.
Until one day, a group of people from the casino stormed into their home and kidnapped her. The man sold her to an underground entertainment club for 30,000 yuan.
Lan Yan suffered endless torment in that dark entertainment club. The daily torture made her completely lose hope in that man.
She spent two years hooking up with a wealthy man who helped her escape that shady club. Afterward, not wanting to stay with that perverted tycoon, she used some schemes to leave him.
Once she was free, she found that she could never be the same again. Finally, she went to the club Bei Yutang had found her at and became a hostess.
She originally planned to earn two million from Bei Yutang and then find a place to spend the rest of her life.
However, during this process, she met a man, a gentle man who cared for her deeply and showed her warmth and concern. Lan Yan’s seemingly dead heart, which was actually just a self-deceptive illusion, was shattered.
When she met such a man again, a man who cherished her and held her dear, she fell in love.
Only after she followed him without hesitation did she discover that it was all a deception.
The man was actually hired by Qian Zhenhao’s wife, Wen Meiyun, to deceive her.
