The next morning, I was awakened by a sharp knock on the door.

I was afraid that this person would wake up the neighbors sooner or later, so I put on my clothes and walked to the door and boldly asked, "Who's out there?"

"It's me... Xia Lan. " A trembling voice sounded.

I hesitated and finally chose to open the door. But I didn't expect that Xia Lan's condition would be even worse than what I had imagined. Her entire body was covered in wounds, and even her neck and wrist were covered in slender whip marks.

Of course, I knew how these scars came about. I just didn't expect her to encounter such a situation.

I opened the door and let her in. I looked at him in distress and asked, "What are you doing …?" "What's wrong?"

When Xia Lan heard my voice, she collapsed and knelt on the ground and cried. The sound of her sobbed and whined made my heart ache.

I thought about the Xia Lan with clear eyes that I saw when I first entered the Demon Region, and then about the Xia Lan who was tortured to such a terrible state by his life, and then about the Xia Lan who was covered in wounds and wailed in tears.

"What's the matter with you?" I didn't give her much time to vent.

When Xia Lan heard my voice, her whimpering gradually became softer. She then looked up at me, her pale face drenched with tears.

"Yao Ji, save me!" Xia Lan said helplessly.

I felt uncomfortable in my heart, but I really couldn't agree to her request. "Xia Lan, I really don't have that ability. Didn't you make a deal with Yan Yue last time? Didn't she promise to help you pay your debt? Why are you still working so hard? "

After hearing what I said, Xia Lan immediately started crying again. Her eyes were filled with despair, and I couldn't even imagine what she had experienced to cause her to become like this.

"Yan Yue did indeed help me pay back a portion of my debt, but … "It's impossible to block that huge hole of mine. This time, the creditor is pushing me too hard. I don't even dare to go back home. I can only continuously receive guests every day. Come …" She could not continue any longer.

I only know a little about her, but I didn't expect her to owe so much money. Yan Yue was a generous young miss, the money he had given her was definitely not a small amount. However, he was still unable to repay her debt, showing just how heavy her burden was.

I looked at her and said, "Xia Lan, I really can't help you with this matter. I don't have much money on me, it's just a drop in the bucket.

"I'm not, I'm not asking you to lend me some money. I know this little bit of money is useless at all... I just wondered, can you help me beg Young Master Li? " Xia Lan looked at me probingly.

Only then did I realize that she was the one who had been running towards Ye Junli from the beginning. No wonder she would say such harsh words to me the day I left the Demon Region. It must have been due to jealousy.

But it's true. To us nightclub women, a man like Ye Junli is as perfect as a god. It's no wonder that so many women would go crazy over him.

However, I am unable to help Xia Lan at all.

I bitterly smiled and said, "Xia Lan, you know that Ye Junli and I are only ordinary friends. I do not have the qualifications to request anything of him."

In fact, Ye Junli's attitude towards Xia Lan last time had already made me understand that there was almost no possibility that Ye Junli would help Xia Lan.

Hearing my words, Xia Lan held herself up to the ground in despair, and nodded weakly, "You're right, I was too reckless … "I've betrayed you before, so I do not have the qualifications to come and beg for you. However, I truly have no other choice." Xia Lan's voice choked up again.

I helped her up and said weakly, "Xia Lan, everyone has their own life, I am no better than you at all. Everyone is suffering in this world, there will always be a way."

Hearing my words, Xia Lan's body suddenly trembled intensely, and then, she gently nodded. "Yes, you're right … There will always be a way. "

She pulled herself together and wiped her tears, "Sorry, I was rude to come and disturb you today. I won't do it again. I'll be leaving first. "

Without looking back at me, she opened the door and left. As I watched her disappear from my sight again, I felt as if I were in a dream.

Destiny binds us poor people together, but it separates us from each other and makes us suffer.

I am also just the second Xia Lan in the world, and she is also just another Yao Ji. There's no difference.

Just as I was thinking about all this, my phone suddenly rang. I looked at the screen and didn't expect it to be Ye Junli.

I hesitated, then picked it up.

"Where are you?" Ye Junli's voice contained some sort of emotion, low and terrifying.

However, this isn't the time for me to be afraid. I've seen Ye Junli act like this more than once, so I've long since gotten used to it.

"I'm at home. What's wrong?" I pretended to be calm.

Ye Junli went silent for a moment after hearing what I said. Then, he suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "Zhou Xiang, I won't let you off this easily! You should know where to put yourself! "

I almost laughed out loud. "Ye Junli, I have always known where I should be. I think the one who doesn't know should be you. I thank you for what you've done for me, but there are some things I really cannot compromise on. "

Ye Junli is such a tyrant that he has never cared about the feelings of others. Everything he does is for his own sake. I have truly had enough of his appearance.

Ye Junli didn't reply to my words. After a long time, he silently hung up the phone.

I was stunned for a moment, then put away my phone. I didn't know how I was going to face Ye Junli in the future, but I would be able to tolerate him most of the time. If I want to do something with Guo Ruiyuan, then I won't have the chance to get to know Ye Junli.

Moreover, I don't have the mind to think about these things right now. Xiao Nian is very cold down there, waiting for me to take revenge for him.
