Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Xiong Yufang's Greed Escalates

Xiong Yufang watched Xiao Xue obedient to her, the greed in her heart grew like wild grass. She felt that Xiao Xue has more oil can be squeezed, so began to plan a bigger plot.

On this day, Xiong Yufang was full of excitement to find Xiao Xue, said she got a perfect opportunity to make money. She described the so-called business project with a fluttering brow: "My dear, I have recently met a big boss who has a super lucrative project on his hands. This project is about developing a new high-tech product with a very broad market prospect. As long as we invest a sum of money, we will be able to get a huge return. I've already researched it, and this project is extremely low risk, and can almost be said to be a sure thing." Xiao Xue listened to Xiong Yufang's words with some misgivings in her heart. After all, she had already lost a lot of money because of Xiong Yufang, and her family was in crisis because of it, so she didn't dare to believe it easily.

Xiong Yufang saw Xiao Xue's hesitation, she immediately took out a forged business plan, which was filled with all kinds of jargon and seemingly detailed profit forecasts. She pointed to the plan and said with conviction, "Look, this is the plan of the project, all the details are here. This big boss already has many successful cases, and his team is very professional. If we miss it this time, we will never have such a good opportunity again." Xiao Xue took the plan and looked at it carefully, but she didn't know much about the business content, she just thought it looked formal.

Xiong Yufang continued to compel, "Honey, I know you might be a little worried because of what happened before. But this time is really different. I've already invested all my savings into it, and I have absolute confidence in this project. And, for the sake of our future, we must seize this opportunity. Think about it, once this project is successful, we can completely get out of our present predicament and live a rich life. We can travel, buy a big house, and do anything we want." Xiao Xue's heart began to waver, she thought about her current bad family situation and her confusion about the future, and seeing Xiong Yufang so determined, a glimmer of hope gradually lit up in her heart.

However, Xiao Xue really can not get more money. She helplessly said to Xiong Yufang: "I really don't have any money, before in order to help you, I've already used up all the savings at home." Hearing this, Xiong Yufang showed a hint of displeasure on her face, but quickly returned to a smile. She thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, dear. I understand your difficulties. But we can't just give up on this opportunity. You can think of a way, such as borrowing some money from your relatives and friends. This program pays off very quickly, and we'll be able to pay it back soon." Xiao Xue listened and looked embarrassed. She knew that borrowing money from her relatives and friends was not an easy thing, and she had already lost some credibility in front of her relatives and friends before because of Xiong Yufang's matter.

Seeing Xiao Xue's expression, Xiong Yufang knew that she was a bit shaken, so she continued to persuade, "My dear, I know this is very difficult for you. But you have to believe me, this is our only chance to change our fate. Think about it, if we succeed, we won't have to live this kind of hard life in the future. Your husband and children will also have a good life because of you." Xiao Xue, under Xiong Yufang's repeated persuasion, finally gritted her teeth and decided to try again. She began to go around to friends and relatives to borrow money, making up all kinds of lies, saying that they have an urgent investment project, will soon be able to get a high return.

Friends and family, although some doubts, but see Xiao Xue so eager look, but also in the past on the love, or lent her some money. Xiao Xue easily put together the amount of Xiong Yufang asked for, and handed it over to her. After Xiong Yufang got the money, she was overjoyed. She immediately took the money and went to buy all kinds of luxuries to satisfy her own selfish desires, and didn't put the money into the so-called business project at all. She looked at the money in her hand and secretly thought in her heart: ''Xiao Xue, this idiot, really thought that there was some kind of money-making project. I can enjoy myself again this time."

Xiong Yufang not only greedily milked Xiao Xue materially, she also began to play with her more recklessly emotionally. Behind Xiao Xue's back, she was having an affair with some other rich people, trying to find more "prey". She took Xiao Xue as her own ATM and emotional slaves, as long as they have any needs, will not hesitate to use Xiao Xue to meet.

Xiao Xue, on the other hand, waited with anticipation for the return of the project, not realizing that she had fallen into a deeper trap and that what awaited her would be an even more cruel reality. Her behavior became more and more crazy, completely confused by Xiong Yufang's lies and lost her basic judgment. She fell deeper and deeper into greed and despair, not only destroying her family, but also plunging her life into the abyss of doom.

When Xiao Xue's friends and relatives realized that she was cheated and asked for debts, Xiao Xue woke up like a dream. She went to Xiong Yufang questioned, but Xiong Yufang turned the other cheek, viciously said to her: "You are willing to lend me money, I did not force you. Now there is no money to pay back, do not come to me." Xiao Xue was Xiong Yufang's ruthlessness completely broken, she regretted her own gullibility and stupidity, but everything has been irretrievable.

Her family was completely broken because of her behavior, her husband decided to divorce her, and her children were full of disappointment and resentment towards her. She lost all her family and friendship, leaving her with endless loneliness and remorse. After squandering Xiao Xue's money, Xiong Yufang continues to look for her next target. Her greed and ugly human nature make her go farther and farther down the road of sin, without the slightest bit of guilt or remorse, as if only money and desires are real in her world, and everything else can be trampled on by her mercilessly. Xiao Xue reflects on her life in despair, and she realizes that she has fallen into Xiong Yufang's trap step by step because of her vanity and wrong pursuit of emotions, and that her human nature has been eroded by greed, selfishness, and blindness in the process, which ultimately leads to her own destruction. She becomes a victim of the ugly side of human nature and spends the rest of her life in pain and remorse, and her story becomes a warning to remind people to be alert to the darkness of human nature, not to be confused by false appearances, and to hold fast to their own morals and the bottom line of reason. 

As Xiong Yufang enjoyed the wealth brought by Xiao Xue, her life became more and more extravagant. She rented a luxury apartment, the interior decoration of the apartment is luxurious to the extreme, the living room is decorated with expensive leather sofas, sofas are soft and comfortable, shiny color. The walls are hung with paintings by famous artists, each of which is worth a lot of money, demonstrating her so-called "taste". She also bought a lot of jewelry, a variety of diamond necklaces, jade bracelets piled up jewelry box. Every day she would wear brand-name clothes, in and out of high-end restaurants and clubs, and those so-called "high society" socializing. In these occasions, she always pretended to be a successful businesswoman, making up all kinds of lies to raise their own value.

After her family was broken up, Xiao Xue's life was in a very difficult situation. She had to look around for a job, but due to her previous experience, her reputation had been tarnished and many employers were apprehensive about her. She could only find a job with a meager salary and struggled to make ends meet while working hard every day. She lived in a humble rented room with only a worn-out bed and a few simple pieces of furniture. She often cried alone at night, regretting her wrong choice. She tried to Xiong Yufang to recover some money, but Xiong Yufang has long disappeared without a trace, her phone is unanswered, the residence is empty. Xiao Xue felt incomparable despair and helplessness, her humanity in this predicament was completely broken, she began to doubt the value of their own existence, and even produced the idea of light. But at the last moment, she thought of her own child, despite the child is full of resentment towards her, but she still hope that one day can make up for their own faults, to regain the child's forgiveness. So, she struggled to live in pain, suffering from inner torment and pressure of life every day, becoming a poor person hurt by the ugliness of human nature, and her story became a negative example in the mouths of people around her, always reminding people to stay away from greed and hypocrisy, and cherish the beauty and sincerity around them.
