Chapter 39

When Ye Qingran walked out of Yenching University's examination room in Shanghai, she was in a good mood.

The exam is over, the exam is finally over!
The nerves that have been tense can finally relax.

She was carrying her schoolbag, walking briskly, her long braids were swinging back and forth, and her beige dress was swaying in the rich summer light.

She crossed several wide asphalt roads and walked past several western-style luxury shops.

A shrill cry pierced her eardrums, "I don't—"

This voice was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar, it was Jingxue.

Ye Qingran's heart suddenly rose to her throat.

It was Jingxue, she would never get it wrong.

The voice came from a dance hall called "Hongxizi".

Just as Ye Qingran raised her foot to go in, a sloppy person stopped her at the door.

"Miss, it's not business hours yet."

"I'm going to find someone."

"Looking for someone? No way. No one can enter outside business hours!" The man was displeased.

"Let me go!" Another woman's cry of grief and indignation came from inside.

Jingxue!

Ye Qingran felt like a group of ants got into his heart.

How could Jingxue be here? A gentle and quiet woman like her burst into such a heartbreaking cry when she encountered such an angry thing.

Ye Qingran secretly took out a silver dollar from his pocket and threw it not far away, and said to the man in black, "Oh, who threw this silver dollar?"

The man in black responded, shouting eagerly, "My, my—"

Ye Qingran slipped in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a weak girl shivering in the corner of the wall, with angry and hopeless eyes, weeping uncontrollably.

Several men had obscene eyes and flattering smiles.

All eyes were attracted by the sound of footsteps approaching.

"Send another one to your door." A wretched voice came.

"Qingran!" Jiang Jingxue yelled sadly.

Ye Qingran rushed to Jingxue's side, hugged her, and pulled off her tattered blouse, "Why are you here?"

"—My father owed gambling debts again, and sold me here to pay off the debts—" Jingxue held her hand tightly, crying.

"It's the Republic of China, do you still talk about the king's law?" Qing Ran shouted angrily at the obscene men in front of her.

"It's only natural to pay off the debt! If you have the ability, you can pay it for her, little girl."

"Our 'Hongxizi' is one of the leading gold sellers in Shanghai. If it weren't for Ms. Jiang's beauty, I'm afraid I would have been sent to the 'Lichunyuan'! Teach you to show that you have the capital. Brother give You change your clothes, you can go to work at night, and you can earn a lot of money from discipline."

A sallow and obscene hand reached out to Jingxue's arm.

Ye Qingran grabbed her schoolbag and slammed it hard at that Lushan claw, "Don't move around!"

"Where did you come from, girl, or we'll take you in as well."

"Shut up!" Qing Ran gritted her teeth, "Don't you just owe you money? How much, we will pay back!"

"Miss Ye speaks so loudly." A pleasant female voice came, and the men consciously stepped out of the way and separated from each other.

The enchanting and charming woman walked over gracefully in a water-green fragrant cloud gauze cheongsam.

Lin Hongxi.

Impressively followed Tian Yanqiu.

Ye Qingran gave Tian Yanqiu a cold look.Her clear eyes met Lin Hongxi firmly, "Miss Lin, how much does Father Jiang owe you?"

"Not much, Jiang Asheng lost [-] cash in our gambling shop, plus the interest of these ten days, you can take Miss Jiang away with [-] cash." Lin Hongxi's smile faded.
