CHAPTER 2

"No, dad please do not do this. Please listen to me. Do not throw me out of the company. I can get you another deal to help the company rise. I beg you please do not throw me out. Mum cannot take it if you do please," she wailed miserably.

The whole household was watching the scene play out in front of them. No one bothered to beg on her behalf. Once their master's mind on something was made up, then so be it. It was a shame their young miss had to receive the shorter end of the stick.

But she deserved it. What was she thinking when she decided to sell her body? Has their master not treated her well? Tsk, tsk, tsk. The young generation nowadays. They do not know how to appreciate what has been given to them.

"Then you should have thought of your mother before you committed such crime. It's no wonder you are like this," he spat rudely at her.

"Father, please. I beg of you."

"No. Get the hell out of my house this instant. You are a disgrace to my family and my heritage. As of this day, I do not want to see you or have anything to do with you, ever again."

"Father..." Her voice broke as her grip on his trousers tightened the more. "Father, please."

"I said, GET OUT!"

***

She could not believe her eyes at what happened to her. Within the blink of an eye, she was thrown out of the Bai mansion. Her luggage and every other of her belongings had been packed up even before her arrival and was waiting to be sent out with her.

Slowly, she packed her belongings and went to the park after boarding a taxi and sat down on a chair.

Her mind went bleak. She had so much to think about but at the same time, all she thought of seemed blank and did not make any sense.

Even till that moment, her eyes teared as her pain and problem washed over her.

A few of the passers-by that knew her, since she was the famous young miss of the Bai, began whispering and pointing in her direction but Bai was not bothered.

She was far too hurt to be bothered with the likes of such.

She knew she couldn't be outside for long and needed a place to stay. Bai Renxiang began to rack her brain for who she would call that she could stay over with for some time before she get back up on her feet.

'Perhaps I could call mum but then, what if mum.. No. Mum might be mad at me as well. She would feel disgraced to have me as a daughter. I would rather not meet her than go and have her tell me those words. Let it be that in my mind, I still..'

She let out a sharp breath as another stream of tears flowed down her cheeks. 'Let it just be that she is still with me. What would I do if she gets mad at me too and disowns me? No, mother cannot be an option. Perhaps, I would just think about someone else.'

RING! RING!

Right there and then her phone began to ring and she took it out from her bag and checked the caller.

'Huh? Why is he.. No, it is strange for him to be calling me well not so strange considering what happened. Yes, I know he believes me and wants to hear from me what happened. Great, this is what I need right now, a pillar of support.'

With that thought in place, Bai Renxiang answered the call.

"Hello."

"Bai Renxiang..."

She paused, unsure if she could answer him. Normally he did not call her by her full name. The highest would be Renxiang that he would call her based on their fondness for each other.

She took in a deep breath, shutting her eyes in the process before answering.

"Yes, Lin?"

"Let us meet at the Magenta Park, under the Sakura tree, our meeting spot."

"Okay, I am in the park, I would go and wait there."

historical

"No worries. I would arrive there soon."

Without saying any form of goodbye, he ended the call.

'Hmm, something is wrong. Or perhaps it is just my head playing me games because of what has happened. Sigh, we would find out.'

A couple of minutes later, they both met at the designated spot. On seeing him, Bai Renxiang was full of so much joy within and somehow managed to smile now that her heartthrob had come to her rescue.

,m Quickly, she made her way towards him, putting on her best of smiles as she opened her hands to hug him but to her surprise and dismay, he did not make a move but instead looked at her with disdain.

"Lin, what is wrong?"

"How can you ask me that question and wear a face full of smiles with what is going on currently?"

"Bolin, I do not understand."

"What don't you understand, Renxiang? Huh? It is as easy and as simple, as plain as day. What wrong did I commit? What did I do to you to deserve to be treated like this?"

"Bolin, it is not as you think. I do not even know the person," Bai Renxiang tried to plead but he shunned her, preventing her from speaking.

"Save it Renxiang. I was faithful to you. You said you did not want to do it and I understand. We have a three years relationship and all we have ever done is kiss and hugs, nothing more, yet you have the effrontery to go and sell off your body to a stranger."

"Bolin?"

"No, Renxiang. Wasn't I enough for you? I have everything you wanted, I respected you but what did I get? You went to sleep with a stranger. Wow! Look at the news. Have you not seen yourself? You disgraced me, my family and yours."

"Fu Bolin, please.."

"No. I came here to tell you that we should end this relationship."
