Police officer Chen Shu

Chapter 574 Lily's Changes (Part 1)
Xiaoling gritted her teeth, decided to go all out, sat up straight, and said confidently, "Sister Lily, I'll tell you the truth!"

Halfway through her sentence, seeing the obvious disappointment on Lily's face, she lowered her head again: "Sister Lily, I'm sorry, I really need the money."

"Is it you who's short of money, or is it Xiao Yang who's short of money? Last time he owed someone gambling debts, you were the one who begged me to lend him money to pay it off. How come he's in debt again after only a few days?"

"No, no, no, Sister Lily, Yang Yang has stopped gambling. He just said he wanted to get a new iPhone, so I..." Xiaoling lowered her head even further, placing her hands between her legs and twisting the hem of her clothes incessantly.

Lily didn't know how to persuade her. Just a moment ago, she had made up her mind to leave this place of pleasure, but now, looking at the naive and innocent Lily, her heart softened.

Yang Yang is Xiao Ling's boyfriend, and he used to be a policeman. He let Xiao Ling, who was working as a hostess at the time, go during an arrest, and the two started having an affair. Later, he was fired from his job after the police found out he was helping Xiao Ling's mother, Lily, to gather information.

Yang Yang, a police academy graduate, was also greatly affected by this incident, drowning his sorrows in alcohol every day and living a chaotic life. Xiao Ling, knowing that she had ruined Yang Yang's future, became extremely obedient to him in the days that followed, never refusing any request he made.

In fact, this matter is quite related to Lily. Because of this, Lily also feels guilty towards Xiaoling and Yangyang.

Lily tried a different approach to persuasion: "Does Xiao Yang know about this?"

Xiaoling was startled and stood up, grabbing Lily's forearm with both hands and shaking her head frantically: "He...he doesn't know! Sister Lily, please, please don't mention these things to him!"

As Xiaoling stood up, the black coat that had been covering her slipped to the ground, revealing the upper part of her chest covered in bruises.

This must be the punishment he suffered last night while on duty.

Seeing this, Lily, heartbroken, finally couldn't hold back her tears.

She earnestly advised, "Xiaoling, although Xiaoyang lost his secure job, he's a perfectly capable man; where can't he find food to eat?"

"Lily, he lost his job, how is he feeling?"

"It's been a year. Even if he fell into a cesspool, he should have climbed out by now. He's a grown man in his twenties, and you still want to support him? Xiaoling, are you really going to support him for the rest of your life by taking off other men's clothes every day?"

Xiaoling sat slumped on the ground, her eyes lifeless. Perhaps she was thinking of the unbearable memories of last night, her lips trembling as she couldn't utter a single word.

Lily helped him back onto the sofa and gently advised, "If you're planning to spend your life with Xiao Yang, you should give up the idea of ​​making money in this world of entertainment. You two are so young, it's the right thing to do is go out into society and find a proper job. Otherwise, if you keep going like this, you won't have a good ending."

Xiaoling lowered her head, tears slowly dripping down her powdered face: "Sister Lily, if I don't bring the money back one day, Xiao Yang will leave me immediately, so all I can do is try to keep him here for now."

"You know I'm pretty good at cooking noodles. I'm actually thinking about saving up money as soon as possible to open a snack shop and make a living with Xiao Yang."

Seeing Xiaoling crying, and thinking of Yang Yang who lost his job and was living a miserable life because of her, Lily made a tough decision, took out her phone, and transferred half of the money left in her card to Xiaoling.

"150,000. That's enough for you to go back to your hometown with Xiao Yang and open any kind of shop. From now on, it's best to avoid contact with people like Sister Wang who frequent entertainment venues, including me. If we don't retire early, none of us will have a good ending."

"Once you've left, don't think about coming back. Just live your life well."

Back in the changing room at the bottom of the stairs, everyone was trying on clothes, but there was no one there.

Lily locked the door and kept slapping herself.

"Serves you right for showing off!"

"Serves you right for being such a jerk!"

"You're stuck in the pit yourself, yet you're thinking of pulling others out!"

"If you're not an idiot, who is?"

Tired of fanning herself, Lily slumped down, resting her hands on the table and holding her messy head in a daze for a long while.

money.

"Who doesn't need money?" Lily turned her head slightly, lit another cigarette, and the smoke swirled around her beautiful face.

Jingle Bell.

The cell phone rings.

This was a special ringtone she had set for her family, originally intended to distinguish it from calls from guests, so that she would know what was important and what wasn't when she was drinking. Unexpectedly, she was now somewhat reluctant to answer it.

The phone rang for a long time before stopping.

Suddenly, Lily felt her vision blurring, and when she looked up and wiped her eyes, she realized it was tears.

"Why are you crying? Dad didn't die this time. He's alive, so I should work hard too." Lily blinked twice, then forced a smile, trying to suppress her sadness. "Make money, make money, keep making money! How can I be so weak? I'm Lily, I have to be strong!"

At this moment, she began to understand Sister Wang's thoughts a little better.

Blocking someone's path to wealth is like taking their life.

Making money is tough for everyone.

Just take care of yourself.

Lily took out tissues from the cabinet to wipe away the tear stains on her face, then redid her makeup and began her routine of making appointments by phone.

This is their work habit.

You can be in a bad mood, but you absolutely cannot mess up your eyeliner and lipstick.

"Hello~"

"Young Master Chen, why didn't you come over for a while? I've been missing you!"

"DJ?"

"Ask Xiaoling, she quit her job and went back to her hometown to find an honest man for blind dates."

"Cuckoo~"

After making a round of phone calls, she finally managed to book two rooms for the weekend by leveraging her family connections. However, she doesn't have many young ladies working for her right now, so the follow-up work is a challenge.

According to past practice, if a mommy cannot gather a team of girls at the last minute, mommy mommy from other groups is willing to lend her resources temporarily.

We can just split the commission 50/50.

Lily got up to look for someone, and as she went out, she bumped into Sister Wang who was carrying a bag of takeout food.

The two of them looked at each other, and now, with just the two of them squeezed into the small space under the stairs, the previous tense atmosphere was naturally gone.

"You're eating this stuff tonight?" Lily pouted.

"It's just to fill my stomach a bit, we'll be drinking soon." Sister Wang was no longer as confrontational as before, and on the surface, the two seemed more like old friends.

"Eat less."

"got used to."

Lily, wearing a mask, turned to face Sister Wang, who was also pressed against the other wall. They went in and out peacefully.
