Chen Zhiyuan looked at me coldly. "Your money? You mean you’ve taken over Zhou Peiyao's identity and credentials, and now you expect us to give you money back?"
I lowered my head and said, "No, I was just joking."
Chen Zhiyuan continued to stare at me coldly. "Joking? Do you think I would believe you?"
I suddenly panicked. "I really didn't kill Zhou Peiyao! You have to believe me!"
My name is Zhou Peiyao, and I was born in a small town in Chenghe County.
Both of my parents were illiterate, and they treated me with nothing but beatings and scoldings from a young age.
It is said that when I was born, my grandfather took one look at me and remarked that my face did not bode well, predicting that I would amount to nothing in life.
Later, my parents came to believe the same thing.
As a result, they neglected me completely, allowing me to drift without guidance.
However, I had a dream from an early age: to study hard, get into college, leave this small town, and make something of myself.
I knew that only knowledge could change my fate.
So I dedicated myself to studying relentlessly, often forgetting to eat or sleep, and consistently ranked among the top students in my class.
However, I still failed the college entrance examination.
I didn't even manage to get into a second-tier university.
When my father found out, he flew into a rage and gave me a severe beating, then refused to let me repeat the year.
"What does a girl like you need to go to university for?!" he shouted angrily. "You're just going to get married eventually!"
I cried and pleaded with him, "Dad! I just want to go to university!"
"No way!" he flatly refused. "What’s so great about university?! Even if you go, you'll just end up getting married and making money anyway!"
As he spoke, he pointed at me, "From now on, you will stay home and work! In two years, I'll find you a husband!"
I refused to agree, but he disregarded my protests and locked me in the house.
Later, a man named uncle Da from the village came to discuss taking me to the capital for work with my father.
My father agreed, and I happily followed uncle Da to the capital.
However, upon arriving in the capital, I discovered—
It was all a scam.
uncle Da took me to an underground clinic and forcibly subjected me to surgery.
From that day on, I became a complete slave.
Every day was spent in endless darkness.
Eventually, I was sold to sister Hua, a beautiful woman in her thirties.
sister Hua treated me well; she not only provided me with food and drink but also taught me how to sing, dance, and play the piano.
She cared for me as if I were her own daughter.
I finally felt a glimmer of warmth.
However, it didn't take long for me to realize—
sister Hua was not a good person either.
She forced me to entertain clients and taught me how to please men.
"Yao Yao," she said earnestly, "men love obedient women."
She continued with a heavy heart, "As long as you are obedient, they can bring you wealth and success."
"But... I don't want to do this..." I said through my tears.
sister Hua sighed, "Silly child, who doesn't want that? But there's no choice; because we are women,
"In this world, women can only survive by depending on men."
Later, sister Hua introduced me to many wealthy men, each of them looking at me with greedy eyes, as if I were a commodity waiting to be sold.
I felt an overwhelming sense of disgust, yet I was powerless to change my situation.
After all, I needed money to support myself.
Gradually, I compromised, drifting between different rich men.
I became their trophy and also a tool for their release.
Though I loathed this life, I saw no way to escape it.
After all, I was dependent on these men for my livelihood.
Until I met Zheng Xin.
He was a man who had feelings for me and was the first client introduced to me by sister Hua.
