The Unending Destiny S.2

Because of Money

Lin Zi's right hand slowly held onto the doorknob. He took a deep breath preparing himself. His heart was beating fast, he closed his eyes. Just then a man's hand pulled him away from the room. Lin Zi tried to thrash but the grip of the hand was too strong.

"Take me off! What are you doing!" ronta Lin Zi was getting angry.

The man let go of Lin Zi's hand rather violently. Li Tian looked angry because of Lin Zi's attitude. But what confuses him is, why? He and Lin Zi met a few days ago.

Right, what am I doing? (the voice of Li Tian)

"Hey! Did you hear me?" reiterate Lin Zi.

"You yourself, what are you going to do? Have you gone crazy?" li Tian said raising his voice.

"It's none of your business!"

Lin Zi started to move and Li Tian again withdrew his hand. Lin Zi was still struggling for Li Tian to let go of his hand.

"I need money!!!" said Lin Zi raising his voice.

His breathing began to disorganize. His eyes were red and somewhat glassy.

"Money? You're just a high school student!"

"Really! Since I'm just a high school student, it's very difficult for me to get one. That's why I was forced to do this" said Lin Zi who then turned her eyes.

"Money? You need money, right? Howmany? I will give you whatever you ask" Li Tian said defiantly.

"What did you say?"

"Why? Wouldn't it be easier to do it with people you know?! You know I'm very rich, no matter what you ask, I can give it!"

"Basic crazy!" muttered Lin Zi.

Lin Zi moved back, but Li Tian did not give up. He pulled Lin Zi's hand firmly. He took the girl into an empty room numbered 31. Li Tian slammed the door hard. He threw Lin Zi's body onto the bed and hit her with his body. Both of Li Tian's hands locked Lin Zi's hands on the right and left sides.

"What are you going to do!" lin Zi did not accept it.

"Don't you say you need money? What's the difference between doing it with another man or me? Isn't it the same as making money?"

Li Tian now locked Lin Zi's hands on his head with his left hand. While his right hand is unbuttoning the black shirt he is wearing. Three buttons have been opened. Lin Zi tried to thrash, but Li Tian's strength was much stronger than her. His eyes began to glaze over. Li Tian tried to kiss Lin Zi on the lips but Lin Zi kept turning her face away from Li Tian's kiss. Li Tian continued to force Lin Zi, by kissing Lin Zi's neck which left a red mark on that neck. Lin Zi closed her eyes and her tears started to drip.

Li Tian smiled condescendingly at Lin Zi.

"You were even so scared when I just kissed you. And you're gonna have sex with that striped-nose guy over there?"

Li Tian let go of Lin Zi, and now he sat at the edge of the bed with a white badcover. Li Tian reached into the pocket of his jeans and opened a black Burberry-branded wallet. He took out a black debit card from inside his wallet and threw it at Lin Zi who was now sitting while wiping her tears.

"There's over 10 million yuan in there. You can take whatever you need!" li Tian said as he re-buttoned his shirt.

"I don't need your money!" sahut Lin Zi fiercely made Li Tian laugh.

"You think I'm just giving it away? No kidding!"

"Then?"

"Don't ask too many questions! Just take the money and tomorrow I'll give you a job. Certainly not this kind of job"

After saying that, Li Tian came out. In his heart, he did not even know why he was helping Lin Zi. It was just that Lin Zi looked innocent in his eyes. Seeing Lin Zi doing the job of this mature woman made her pride slightly hurt.

At 11pm Lin Zi stood in front of a gambling establishment. He entered the place and called out the name of Boss Ding. A bald middle-aged man escorted with 4 muscular men came out to greet him.

"Little girl, why are you looking for me?" said the middle-aged man.

Lin Zi threw a rather large envelope that contained several money mops. The man peeked at the contents.

"That's your 1 million yuan! Now let go of aunt Yun!" said Lin Zi with a loud tone.

The bald man gestured to his men and soon a man threw a woman in her 40s and fell down before Lin Zi.

"Auntie, is it okay?" asked Lin Zi.

Her aunt did not answer, but her condition was visible from her bruised and bleeding face.

"You're lucky to have such a caring niece! Now go, don't make a fuss in my place again!"

Lin Zi brought her aunt home to her boarding house.

"Mother" said a man who hugged You Ya as soon as he entered the house.

"Jiang Wu" muttered Mu Ya who again hugged Jiang Wu tightly.

Lin Zi went cooking while Jiang Wu treated her mother's wounds. Shortly thereafter, 3 dishes of fried rice with beef-eye eggs were served at the table. Her aunt looked somewhat doubtful and embarrassed, but her starving stomach made her eat voraciously.

"Lin Zi, forgive me" Mu Ya said bowed.

"It's okay" said Lin Zi.

"I've been rude to you all this time. But you still want to help me"

"When my parents died, my aunt took care of me. Although aunt is hard, but I'm so grateful that aunt would take care of me"

"Lin Zi, can I ask you something more?" said Mu Ya who was now staring at Lin Zi.

"What's that?"

"Let us stay here for a while. Once I have enough money to rent the house, we'll be gone soon. The tenant had already confiscated our little house, so for now we have nowhere to stay"

"Auntie can stay here as long as auntie wants, but the house I rented is a little small, I'm afraid that auntie will feel uncomfortable"

"It's okay! Thank you Lin Zi, auntie will work hard and pay back your money"

"Don't worry auntie, there's no need to think about the money"

Jiang Wu rubbed his mother's shoulder which started crying out of feeling very grateful.

The next morning Lin Zi woke up at 5 a.m. He came out of his room and saw the bed in front of the tv had been folded neatly. He walked into the kitchen and saw his aunt preparing food at the table.

"Lin Zi, take a shower. I've cooked for you" said Mu Ya while putting some dishes containing his cooking on the table.

"Sister, I'm done. Take a shower" said Jiang Wu, who had just come out of the bathroom wearing a towel.

Lin Zi felt overwhelmed by this situation. It seemed like he had not had this kind of warmth for a long time. Warmth when a mother welcomes her newly awakened child. Warmth when eating with family.

Before long Lin Zi had prepared in her uniform and was now sitting next to Jiang Wu who had been waiting for her to eat together. Lin Zi picked up her chopsticks and tasted Mu Ya's cooking. He eats with gourmand.

"If you're done, just put a dirty plate in the sink. I'll wash it later" said Mu Ya who had finished eating.

"Where are the aunts going?" lin Zi asked looking at her well-groomed aunt.

"Searching for work. If I don't work, how can I make money? Of course I don't want to keep bothering you"

Those words made Lin Zi and Jiang Wu smile. It turns out that this incident could make him change for the better.

At 5:50 Lin Zi was at her school. He walked down the corridor to his class. Her unraveled hair was directed left to cover the red marks on her neck.

In front of his class, he runs into Li Tian and a friend in a different uniform. Lin Zi stopped her steps, stunned to see someone standing beside Li Tian.

"Jing Yuan!" muttered Lin Zi looked at the man with the spiky hair model.
