Chapter 109

The girl lay motionless on the bed, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes, tears flowing and flowing, unable to stop. She heard a few whispers from outside the door, and she heard her mother talking to that person, and her head was buzzing.

After a long while, Li Meiling came into the room. She quickly stopped smiling and swept her heavy eyes over the body on the bed that was much more tender, white and cleaner than her own. It was hard to tell what the look meant.

But when she sat down beside the bed, she was already in tears, hugging her daughter, who was in a mess, as if she was holding a rare treasure. She cried and said, "Si Ling, I'm sorry for you! I really have nowhere else to go! I'm sorry! Please save me..."

Xiang Siling was in a daze and didn't quite hear what she was crying about. She sat up suddenly, endured the pain, grabbed the school uniform and put it on.

Li Meiling was shocked: "What are you going to do?"

"Call the police! I'm going to call the police! He raped me, I was raped!" Xiang Siling's eyes were red. She turned her head to look at the bed, pulled out all the underwear and sheets, and rolled them into a ball. "Evidence, this is all evidence!"

Li Meiling hugged her daughter's waist and said, "Don't go! Don't be impulsive. You can't go!"

Xiang Siling's tears rolled down again: "I can't go because there was something added to the orange juice, right? Mom, you are my mom! How could you...how could you...are you still a human being!"

But Li Meiling had already thought of a way to deal with it.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. But if the tiger is determined to swallow the child whole, she will be the one who gave birth to her, raised her, and knows her temper and personality very well. Then she won't even have a chance to ask for help, and she will be torn into pieces and eaten up.

Li Meiling cried heartbrokenly: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It's all my fault! I borrowed online loans and owed millions. If I can't pay back the money, I will go to jail! I checked and it's more than ten years! And those loan sharks are very vicious. Your father and I will be beaten to death. As the daughter of a deadbeat, you won't be able to take the civil service exam in the future... I really have no other choice... Only, only... Daughter, Uncle Luo is not an outsider. He has always been very good to me and to you, and bought so many things for you.

He really likes you and wants to be with you. He is just a little older, what's wrong with that? As long as you accompany him this time, he promises to pay off all our debts. Anyway... we have already slept together, and if you call the police, it won't change anything, because you are no longer a virgin. But without his help, Mom and Dad are completely finished.

Is sleeping with someone a few times more important than the lives of my parents and our entire family? We have raised you for so many years, can't you save us once?"

Xiang Siling was struck by lightning and stood still.

She knew that Li Meiling had borrowed money from people outside and also borrowed money online. Even the house she lived in now belonged to Luo Hongmin. At that time, there were many news reports online about people who owed millions of yuan and jumped off buildings and lost their families. She was a freshman in high school who had not experienced much of the world, so she believed her mother's words without a doubt.

Otherwise, unless a mother is desperate, how could she give her own flesh and blood to someone else?

She sat on the bed at a loss. The unsolvable problem thrown at her by her mother was as heavy as a mountain. On one side was her chastity, and on the other was her parents' plea for help and her life. If she really sent Luo to prison, this family would be ruined.

The girl's tears rolled down. Seeing her expression relaxed, Li Meiling was delighted, and she simply knelt down in front of her daughter with a plop: "Si Ling, Mom is sorry for you! Can I kneel down for you? You are my child, and you are my flesh and blood. Seeing you suffer, Mom is more uncomfortable than you. Can you forgive Mom this time? If you don't agree, Mom won't get up." Seeing that Xiang Si Ling didn't say anything, she showed a cruel look again, slapped herself twice, and said: "If you really can't forgive Mom, don't want to help Mom, and only care about yourself... Mom can't blame you, and respect your choice. You can call the police, but I don't want to go to jail. I am too ashamed to see people after what I did today. I will jump from the upstairs later, and you can just... just pretend that I have never been your mother, and live your life well in the future."

Xiang Siling couldn't hold back her tears. She looked at her mother in pain and said, "Mom, I won't call the police. Wait for him to give you the money, and you will pay the debt back. Don't borrow money from me again, okay?"

Li Meiling was overjoyed and kept saying "yes, yes, yes".

Xiang Siling added: "Just this once, don't let him touch me again, or I will call the police again."

Li Meiling looked into her daughter's eyes, her expression flashed, and she agreed.

It was a long time later that Xiang Siling realized what a wrong decision she had made. That home had become a den of demons and a dark quagmire full of traps.

For prey, the first chance to escape is often the last. If she had not escaped firmly that time, she would never have the chance to see the sun again. When the biological mother used all her strength and conscience to cover her daughter's mouth the first time, so that she could not speak, she would never be able to speak again.

The second time, Luo Hongmin didn't even give her the medicine, but went straight into her room and carried her to the master bedroom. The TV in the living room was turned up loudly, so calling her was useless. The next day, Li Meiling asked for leave from school, and Xiang Siling was locked in her room for a day and two nights. Luo Hongmin was very familiar with women, especially a simple girl. He knew very well how to slowly tame a woman and how to break her fragile and tender spine.

He and Li Meiling have so many tricks they can use on the little girl.

He took a lot of videos and photos, saying that I now opened a live broadcast company. If you call the police, these things will be spread all over the Internet immediately. And do you have evidence? How to prove that I raped you? Didn't you seduce me at a young age? I spent all my money on you and your daughter. The deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau drank with me last week, did you know that?

I threatened you again, if you really don't obey, I will catch you before you even reach the police station. You definitely can't send me to jail, but I can sell you to Southeast Asia. Your mother won't dare to say a word, believe it or not? Do you still want to go to college in the future? Do you want to be a human being?

Li Meiling also tried to persuade him. She tried to persuade him softly. She kept saying, "Boss Luo really likes you. Otherwise, he is so rich, where can he find women?" He was sincere. He said that if you give him your first time, you won't have to struggle in your life. As soon as you graduate from high school, he will buy you a house and a car. You can use your credit card as you like. What are you studying for? Isn't it for a better life? Now there is a shortcut. Only a fool would not take it."

Then he said, what era is it now, sleeping a few times is nothing. Don't always think that he is bullying you, and treat him as your boyfriend. Don't your classmates have early love and boyfriends? But your boyfriend is richer and more capable than theirs. When you grow up in the future, they will envy you and want to be like you.

Then he changed his PUA angle and said, you are no longer a virgin, you have been tossed back and forth by him so many times, you really want to call the police, no matter whether others believe it or not. How will your teachers and classmates see you, you want to let everyone in the school know that you are having an affair with a man who can be your father?

During that time, Xiang Siling lived in a daze. She had no idea what to do. The adults worked together to create a desperate situation for her, with soft threats and hard knives, all in an attempt to completely defeat her.

She thought she didn't want Luo Hongmin's money at all, and didn't want such a "boyfriend". But Luo Hongmin's words that she couldn't sue him, and instead her videos and photos would be spread all over the Internet scared her. And her mother's words about how all the teachers and classmates in the school would look at her also made her unable to face it.

Li Meiling's words: "We've done it so many times, why are you still being so pretentious?" pushed Xiang Siling's self-loathing and feeling of dirtiness to the extreme.
