Chapter 5: Humiliation at the Banquet

Page 1/3

This banquet was a humiliation, that much was certain. Jiang Nanxing’s mother was critically ill, but the hospital kept delaying the surgery. She had no choice but to swallow her pride and beg Sheng Ting for help. Sheng Ting, still resentful over Yao Xinyue’s matter, forced Jiang Nanxing to drink a spiked glass of wine and then handed her over to a perverted man. Just as Jiang Nanxing was about to be violated, Sheng Ting arrogantly “saved” her, claiming it was merely to teach her a lesson and keep her in line. Such a pivotal moment was bound to rack up a hefty amount of emotional suffering points.

“Alright, alright,” Jiang Nanxing said as she grabbed her bag and responded to the system, “Nowadays, it seems any villain can be the male lead.” The system explained, “Existence is justified by demand; where there’s need, there’s a market.” Well, that made sense.

The car soon arrived at Jiang Yao’s place. Jiang Nanxing wasted no time, knocking on the door and pressing Jiang Yao to transfer money. Jiang Yao, beaten and defenseless, had no choice but to comply. Qin Jiu, watching the scene for amusement, didn’t leave and had the driver follow along.

No sooner had Jiang Nanxing left than she received a call from her gambling-addicted scumbag father – likely Jiang Yao complaining. Naturally, she hung up and blocked him immediately. Qin Jiu, having overheard everything, looked on with a raised brow. Jiang Nanxing had truly changed.

“How interesting. Where is Miss Jiang heading now?” Qin Jiu asked. Without looking up, Jiang Nanxing replied, “Any hotel will do.” Now that she had money, she refused to humiliate herself. She searched for reputable martial arts schools in the city, intending to enroll herself to strengthen her body. Even with some skills, if her physical condition faltered, she couldn’t always rely on her abilities.

Halfway through her search, she decided to take care of another matter: reporting her gambler father’s gambling dens. This would prevent him from causing trouble over his precious son. It was also a way to test whether this world was truly lawless.

Seeing Jiang Nanxing report her own father, Qin Jiu’s face showed clear surprise. His fingers tapped lightly on the windowsill, his gaze deepening. Had the information he received on Jiang Nanxing been flawed, or had she really transformed so drastically?

Qin Jiu pondered for a moment and instructed the driver to take Jiang Nanxing to his own hotel. After soaking in a bath to relax, Jiang Nanxing received a message from Qin Jiu: her scumbag father had been detained and would be held for several days. Qin Jiu was probably just playing spectator and informing her.

So, this world wasn’t entirely lawless after all. That made some things easier.

A few days later, Jiang Nanxing received a message from Sheng Ting: “I heard your mother’s condition has worsened. Put on the dress I sent you and come to this location.” A map pin followed.

The key moment had arrived—time to rack up those emotional suffering points. She wonderedI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
