The temptation of wealth and extravagance

  Luckily Chen Sang threw me out in a place not far from the city center, I hailed a taxi and returned to where I lived.

  The girls all have a characteristic, they usually like to live in groups. At night, they dress up and go out to find food together. Chen Sang is the madam, with more than ten girls under her, they all live in the same building. I, Chen Sang and Lu Yishu live in a three-bedroom suite. However, the house is very small, the housing prices here are exorbitant, any house costs hundreds of millions.

  Chen Sang didn't come back, I walked into Lu Yishu's room and saw her lying straight, staring at the chandelier with wide eyes, looking silly. I called out to her several times before she heard me, possibly startled by my voice and letting out a loud shriek.

  As soon as she saw me, she threw herself into my arms, tears gushing out, and said "Sis, I feel so dirty! Will Yang Jie despise me?"

  Yang Jie must be her boyfriend's name! I patted her back and comforted her, asking "Doesn't he know what you're doing?"

  She hastily shook her head, apparently her boyfriend didn't know she was working at the nightclub either. That's understandable! How many normal men can tolerate their women working in those places?

  I grasped her hand and suggested "Ashu, don't work here anymore, it's not suitable for you. I know a coffee shop owner, why don't you go there to be a waitress?"

  She sighed, holding my hand and smiled helplessly. Along with her intermittent sobbing, she told me that if she had a way out, she wouldn't work in such a place! The salary of the cafe is enough for her living expenses, but her brother's medical expenses are over 1,000 yuan per day, her mother goes around borrowing money, and relatives are unwilling to lend it, if there's no money, the hospital will drive her brother out.

  She and I had the same mentality when we first entered the nightclub, knowing that there would definitely be danger inside, but still holding on to that sliver of luck and continuing to work.

  She pulled my hand and continued to tell me that she saw other college students come out to sell, some rich people's wives, sometimes they also think about it! If she really had no way to come out and sell, then her mother wouldn't have to worry about money, didn't have to ask people everywhere, and her brother could get better treatment. But she didn't want to wrong her boyfriend, she said her boyfriend was really good to her, gave in to her on everything, spoiled her. If it weren't for her boyfriend being by her side, she wouldn't know what to do! Maybe she would have sold already.

  I myself can't tell whether I'm luckier than Lu Yishu or she's the lucky one. I don't have to worry about my family, nor do I need to take on any responsibilities; in fact, there's no difference between me and an orphan. But she has something she wants to protect, while I don't!

  I patted her back, not knowing what to say. I've seen many college students who just entered the circle, they were also cold and proud at first, but two or three months later, they completely changed, some sold themselves, some were kept by others, how many people can resist the temptation of money and luxury?

  I pulled out a stack of money from my bag that Ba Wang had given me and handed it to Lu Yishu. "You take this, Ah Shu! If you call me sister, I'll tell you the truth - once you enter our line of work, no matter how hard you try to wash yourself clean, you can't. A mistress is a mistress, whether she's been sold 100 times or just once. You can still stick to your principles now, but next month it might be different. Think about it for yourself!"

  I'm not a good person, I've been drifting alone in this city, and I've done many things that are unhelpful to others. I also have ulterior motives for helping Lu Yishu, I'm afraid that one day when I really get into trouble, I won't even be able to find someone to call for help.
