Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 139, Section 010: Conversation
"Squeak, squeak." The chirping of birds awakens the morning.

When Haruko Sada opened her eyes, she seemed somewhat reluctant to leave.

The girl slept soundly last night, and hadn't felt this nostalgic in a long time.

When she got up, she saw the milk and cheese that Jin Ziyue had placed on the dining table.

The low table was a temporary addition last night, and on the white plate, condensed milk was smeared into the Japanese character for "eat".

Haruko Sada pouted: "Would it kill you to put on a smile?"

Even so, she washed up very naturally, then grabbed some cheese and started eating it with a smacking sound.

Just then, she heard the sound of a door opening in the hallway, and she turned her head to see Jin Ziyue taking off his shoes.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

Jin Ziyue carried a series of women's products, including shampoos, body washes, skincare products, and cosmetics for teenagers, as well as products for special periods. The brands were all carefully selected, covering both daytime and nighttime use.

Haruko Sada's eyes lit up, and she took the cosmetics, admiring them.

But she quickly realized what she meant, and her face darkened immediately: "Why do you know so much?"

“I have a girlfriend,” Jin Ziyue said.

"Oh?" Haruko Sada said meaningfully and sarcastically, "Then what am I, a mistress?"

"You are nothing."

Jin Ziyue's tone was devoid of any emotion, which angered Sada Haruko so much that she pushed all the cosmetics off the table.

She felt a little jealous, but still took the glass and plate to wash them herself, wanting to prove with her actions that she was now a part of this little house.

Jin Ziyue didn't plan to stay long. He told the boy not to wander off and then prepared to leave.

"Wait!" the girl called out to him.

Jin Ziyue turned around.

"Give me a phone so I can log into SMS; I'm so bored."

After handing the phone to the girl, Jin Ziyue prepared to get up.

"Where are you going?"

"Work to earn money."

After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and walked down the stairs.

Haruko Sada logged onto her SMS feed, and messages flooded in.

The boss was unaware that she had been taken hostage. Yesterday, a customer order went wrong, and she didn't return home all night. Clearly, they were going crazy over there.

"It's already dark, why aren't you back yet?"

"Have you managed to hook up with a big shot?"

"Hey, you're not planning to run away, are you?"

"Do you still want to get your father's belongings back?"

Below are several phone calls.

The other person's ID was Xiuchuan Zongzheng, and he was her guide at the brothel.

In some brothels, each woman has her own manager, similar to a pimp. Xiuchuan Zongzheng is a seasoned veteran, and this shop is practically his own business. He only became a pimp because he was idle.

According to him, he most enjoys watching a young girl give up her virginity.

Therefore, he put a lot of effort into Haruko Sada.

She's a newcomer to the industry, young and attractive, with no connections. This kind of girl already has the potential to become a cash cow.

Everything here was so comfortable that Jin Ziyue almost forgot her identity and wanted to play on her phone as carefree as a girl her age.

A series of urgent messages ruthlessly brought her back to reality.

Haruko Sada looked dejected.

Once she entered this industry, there was no turning back. She was trapped in the mire, and her entire life would be tainted by its corruption.

At this point, she could only transfer all her resentment to the man who sold her into the abyss, her mother's boyfriend.

Large tears welled up in her eyes.

She thought she would live a life of hedonism and decadence, but now a ray of sunshine has faintly appeared in her life again.

This made her uneasy.

With Jin Ziyue gone, I have a chance to escape.

Just as she was lost in thought, her mother-in-law's small, thin figure appeared by the window: "Young lady, can we talk?"

Haruko Sada's expression quickly changed: "What's there to talk about!"

"It's about that child," the old woman said, not annoyed.

Upon hearing Jin Ziyue's name, Haruko Sada's expression softened somewhat. Confirming her expression was normal, she reluctantly opened the door: "What?"

Her mother-in-law looked her over. Today, she wasn't wearing any glamorous makeup or earrings, and her hair wasn't styled to be fluffy. She looked much more delicate and refined, like a well-behaved girl next door.

"Last night...you didn't do anything out of line, did you?"

"That's what my mother-in-law asked."

Haruko Sada raised an eyebrow. She was stubborn, and the more people speculated, the more she liked to make a big deal out of things.

So she shifted her gaze, lowered her head, and stammered, "Are you referring to the pain of losing one's virginity...?"

"Ah!" The mother-in-law was still somewhat surprised to receive a positive answer.

"Confused."

Seeing her heartbroken made Haruko Sada feel much better.

"Then let me ask you, what is your impression of Jin Jun?"

Haruko Sada said with a dissatisfied look, "What else can I do? That guy has a bad temper, a bad complexion, and is extremely rude. He doesn't show any tenderness towards women."

The mother-in-law opened her mouth wide, unable to speak for a long time.

"He clearly said you were his friend's sister..."

Haruko Sada suddenly became bolder and said shyly, "Actually, I'm his girlfriend."

My mother-in-law was stunned.

“Miss, since that’s the case, then I would also like to advise you, no matter what your life was like before, to live a good life with this child.”

"Huh?" This time it was Haruko Sada who was stunned.

“I have a good eye for people. That boy is a responsible and gentle man who will take on everything. He always inexplicably gives his gentleness to the people around him, but inexplicably has a ruthless streak towards himself.”

The mother-in-law sighed, "Just like my grandson who's away from home."

The girl did not reply.

The old woman looked at her with earnest eyes: "Miss, at first I thought you were the kind of rebellious girl, but then I thought, how could the person that Mr. Jin chose be of bad character? I know you are not a bad person at heart, you are a good girl. Since you have said so, then I will not interfere. I will entrust Mr. Jin to take care of you."

Given Sada Haruko's usual personality, she would have reacted immediately to the slightest slander, without hesitation. But her mother-in-law's words were earnest, so she had no reason to lose her temper: "I...will."

After her mother-in-law left, Haruko Sada's original plan to leave without saying goodbye faded away.

She suppressed the little thrill that came from her mischievous prank or other factors, and then had to face the cold reality of work.

……

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and Jin Ziyue didn't return until the crescent moon was high in the sky.

"Hello, Grandma." You could hear him greeting the landlady from afar.

Haruko Sada rushed to the window and opened it a crack.

Hmph, what a hypocrite.

Although it was supposed to be a part-time job, the girl didn't believe that this guy would work honestly and earn money in a proper way.

To be honest, I still don't know what this guy's purpose is, and he always evades my questions.

The sound of keys clicking could be heard intermittently.

Jin Ziyue opened the door.

"Where do you work? Why are you back so late?" Haruko Sada asked, her eyes sparkling, as if she were the lady of the house, speaking with self-righteousness.

Of course, she was just doing it for fun, enjoying the thrill of keeping a mistress.

Jin Ziyue was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Hourly worker, waiter."

Haruko Sada came up to her and said, looking aggrieved:

"Leaving me alone at home is so boring."

When she usually pulled out all the stops to cause trouble, Jin Ziyue would respond with an indifferent expression. Now that she knew his true colors, there was no need to pretend to have an irresistible smile anymore.

"Aren't you afraid I'll go out and do some side jobs and cheat on you?" the girl threatened.

Jin Ziyue's voice was deep as he said, "Listen, girls need to be good to themselves."

"I only go out to earn money because I'm good to myself. Youth is the best asset." Haruko Sada blinked, looking completely harmless.

The man stared at her, his eyes cold and sharp, as if a wild beast were hiding within him, ready to pounce and bite her at any moment, making the young girl's heart pound.

"Capital is not meant to be squandered; it is meant to be invested and to generate profits."
