Wanqing saw him walking out of the restaurant, not towards the washroom. Realizing she had been betrayed, she quickly got up and ran.
Mu Tianying remained seated, pouring himself a glass of wine and savoring it slowly.
Wanqing dashed out of the restaurant, only to be grabbed suddenly by two men in black suits, resembling mobsters from a movie. She struggled and screamed, "What are you doing? Let me go!"
"We work for Mr. Mu," one of the men replied, "Miss Ding, please wait here for Mr. Mu."
Startled, Wanqing glanced back at the restaurant, spotting Mu Tianying approaching casually.
She struggled a few more times, but it was futile.
When Mu Tianying arrived, he waved his hand and the two men let go of her, disappearing quickly from sight.
Gently touching her face, he said, "Your father sold you to me for a piece of land worth two billion. Don't you feel valued?"
"You...you bastard!"
"Do you want to save your mother?" He asked.
Wanqing was taken aback, speechless as she looked at him.
"Your father will no longer come to your rescue. If you obey me, your mother will have surgery tomorrow. The best doctors, the best medicine, everything will be the best. Otherwise, she won't even have a ward to stay in tomorrow," he said.
Wanqing stared at him dumbfounded, eventually lowering her head in silence as she trembled.
She didn't curse, display any tantrums, and didn't attempt to leave. Knowing that she had surrendered, Mu Tianying said contentedly, "You're very obedient, this way you won't suffer."
Once they got into the car, Mu Tianying asked, "How old are you?"
Wanqing glanced at him, stuttering, "Eigh... eighteen."
"Eighteen? Still in school?"
Wanqing shook her head, visibly nervous.
"At eighteen, you should be in university, why not studying?"
"My mother... my mother got sick, there's no money left, I also need to take care of her..." she said, biting her lip hard in an effort to calm her inner fear.
He reached out, tilting her chin towards him, "Don't bite, it's already bleeding," he said before leaning over to kiss her.
Startled, Wanqing tried to push him away, but he pressed her down onto the seat forcefully, rendering her immobile and frightened to tears.
After a moment, he released her, licking his lips, "Tastes better than I imagined."
"Please let me go..." Wanqing sobbed.
He let out a cold laugh, "Don't care about your mother's life anymore?"
Wanqing was stunned, sinking helplessly into the seat.
Soon, the car came to a halt. He grabbed her arm and dragged her out. Looking up, she saw a small villa and her legs buckled.
He led her inside, up the stairs, and into a room, finally releasing her. Then, he started to undress...
Wanqing hugged herself tightly, staggering backward.
He glanced back, his icy gaze sweeping over her, then grabbed her and threw her onto the bed.
"Ah—" Getting the wind knocked out of her, Wanqing was dazed. As she tried to get up, he lunged at her. She screamed, "No! Let me go—"
Not only did he not stop, but his actions became more aggressive, ripping her dress with a harsh snarl—
...
After it was done, he stood up, grasping her chin to make her look at him.
Her eyes were without luster, devoid of any life.
