This morning, a woman seemed to be pedaling her bicycle very fast. Her long hair looked loose. Her round eyes looked grim, her tiny nose flushed, her red lips trembled. After arriving at an apartment, the woman then slammed her bicycle. She immediately ran into the apartment. Climbing the steps, she then knocked impatiently on a gray door. Her breath was gasping, and occasionally she wiped her tears. She never thought this morning she would receive such shocking news.
The gray door opened. A man was seen standing with a panicked face. He was tall, and his face was quite handsome with those little eyes. The woman did not seem to care about him, and she immediately broke into the apartment, then she fell silent to see that the whole apartment was in a mess. All of her ceramic wares were destroyed, and the books were scattered all over the floor. The woman's eyes became dark again, and she looked upset at the man, who was standing beside her.
"What are you doing, Chen Jia Min? Why did you break into my apartment?" that woman yelled.
"Why are you angry, Liu Qiao Xin? Isn't this my apartment too? This apartment is our apartment. What's wrong with what I did?" asked Chen Jia Min.
Chen Jia Min does not seem to feel guilty even though he has destroyed the entire apartment belonging to his lover - Liu Qiao Xin. Instead, he felt satisfied to see his lover mad with him.
Right, this wasn't Liu Qiao Xin's apartment. This apartment is her shared apartment with Chen Jia Min. However, what Chen Jia Min did always cost her a lot.
Chen Jia Min's breath smelled strongly of alcohol, and Liu Qiao Xin chose to pick up her messy books on the floor. But suddenly, Liu Qiao Xin's hair was grabbed by Chen Jia Min so hard. She stood back up, holding her long hair.
"Don't play dumb, Qiao Xin. Where are you hiding it? Give me all the money you have!" shouted Chen Jia Min crazily.
"Don't you have any other job besides extorting my money, Jia Min? Shouldn't you be working instead of continuing to extort money from your women?" shouted Liu Qiao Xin. "I have no money. You have used up all my money. So get out before I call the police for you!"
Feeling annoyed, Chen Jia Min immediately slapped Liu Qiao Xin so hard that it made her tiny body slammed on the table. Liu Qiao Xin held her cheek which was slapped by Chen Jia Min so hard.
Chen Jia Min looked angry, and he walked over to Liu Qiao Xin.
"Listen to me, Miss Liu. If you don't give me money, you know that I will do something about it. And then, your career in the company will be over in a snap. Your life and your family will be ruffled in my hands tomorrow. So, hand over your money to me. I need the money right now. "
Liu Qiao Xin couldn't do anything about it. One wrong step has left her helpless in Chen Jia Min's hands. The one thing that Liu Qiao Xin hated the most was because she was helpless against Chen Jia Min.
Chen Jia Min looked at Liu Qiao Xin's briefcase, the corners of his lips twitching. He then grabbed the bag, but Liu Qiao Xin tried to protect her bag.
"This is my bag. What are you going to do, Jia Min!?" shouted Liu Qiao Xin.
But, Chen Jia Min didn't care. He immediately kicked Liu Qiao Xin's body until she was knocked several meters away. He searched Liu Qiao Xin's briefcase, and he took the wallet that was in the bag and grabbed all the cash inside it without leaving a single yuan. After Chen Jia Min got what he wanted, he immediately threw the bag at Liu Qiao Xin. He laughed out loud.
"You are indeed my smartest woman, Qiao Xin. Work hard. Because I need your money." Chen Jia Min immediately left, slamming the apartment door violently.
Liu Qiao Xin could do nothing but cry, her mouth gasping at Chen Jia Min's harsh treatment of her. Even though the money was about to be used for her mother's hospital in the village, she had to lose it to Chen Jia Min again.
*****
Liu Qiao Xin walked down the highway. Her mind was completely troubled by Chen Jia Min. She didn't know anymore whether life would be beautiful if she continued to move forward.
She was standing in front of the red light, watching vehicles pass by in front of her. Maybe if she died, she would never be a cash cow anymore for Chen Jia Min.
Liu Qiao Xin smiled bitterly, closing her eyes as she took a step as the traffic light turned green.
But before she was in the middle, a hand grabbed her until she fell, and the old man looked at Liu Qiao Xin with a probing gaze.
"What are you going to do, miss? Has death become your goal for the trivial problems you have been experiencing at this time?"
Liu Qiao Xin was silent, and she sobbed again. The old man sat on the side of the road together with Liu Qiao Xin.
"Tell me, what is your problem? Why did you want to die? I'm sure you would want to go to hell if your problem is worse than mine."
"I don't know what else to do, Sir. My whole life has been ruined by a man I can't leave. Even the last money left in my wallet has been taken away by him. I hate my life. Why can't I escape from such an evil man like him? "
The old man smiled, then he took a deep breath. He patted Liu Qiao Xin's shoulder, trying to comfort the young woman beside him.
"Why can't you get away from him? Isn't it better if you can leave him now? If you don't dare to do that, you'll forever be taken advantage of by him."
