Sheng Ning sat on the boat, lost in thought. She had to be even more cautious now, creating advantages in unfavorable conditions to find a chance to return home, or she would really collapse.
She lay back down on the bed and closed her eyes to rest.
The only thing she could do right now was to take care of her body so that the baby in her belly could be safe. She placed her hand on her slightly protruding stomach, gritting her teeth. Everything would pass if she endured it. Even the toughest times would eventually pass.
Just as she was about to fall asleep, the door to her room was kicked open. With a thud, Sheng Ning immediately opened her eyes, and when she saw who had appeared before her, all her previous doubts were resolved.
What a small world, even in her current dire situation, she still managed to run into Qin Cuifen.
Indeed, it was a grudge from a past life; they were destined to be at odds until death in this one.
"Youāre not surprised?" Qin Cuifen was somewhat disappointed not to see any surprise or fear.
"Surprised? Of course, Iām surprised. I heard you went to the county to sell, but I didnāt expect that in less than a year, your business had grown so big that you ventured onto foreign territory. Impressive." Sheng Ning couldnāt help but applaud.
"Qin Cuifen, your current profession suits you well." Sheng Ning looked her up and down, noting her revealing clothes and gaudy makeup, with a noticeable fragrance.
Did she just get off some manās bed?
"Donāt be smug; your fate will be worse than mine." Qin Cuifen walked to the bedside and grabbed Sheng Ningās hair, glaring down at her with gritted teeth, saying hatefully, "Little bitch, without Xu Qigang and without the Su Family, letās see how long you can stay cocky. Iāll have plenty of chances to kill you in the future."
"You canāt kill me now, and you wonāt be able to in the future." Sheng Ning looked at her fearlessly, "Let go, I said let go now."
"I wonāt let go." She dreamed of torturing Sheng Ning, making her life miserable, and now that she finally had the chance, how could she give it up?
Qin Cuifen gripped her hair tightly, using so much strength that she nearly lifted Sheng Ning off the bed.
"Little bitch, just you wait! When I first found out it was you, I wanted to throw you into the sea. But now Iāve changed my mind; letting you die like that would be too easy. I want to slowly torture you and make you experience all the pain I went through."
"You call this pain?" Sheng Ning appeared composed, glancing at her, "I think youāre quite enjoying yourself! Besides, what does your current state have to do with me? It was Hai Lanās people who slept with you, not me."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Such stupidity, people like you are truly rare."
"You..." Qin Cuifen raised her hand to grab Sheng Ningās face, but Sheng Ning pushed her away forcefully, "Get lost! Do you really think just because Iām lying in bed, you can beat me? If I canāt beat even a hired soldier, and if I canāt beat even you, I wouldnāt need you to say itāIād jump into the sea myself."
Sheng Ning was feeling stifled all this time, constantly suppressing her emotions. After being caught by Li Xia, she realized how weak she was, with no ability to fight back, secretly vowing to learn combat skills for self-defense in the future.
This loss she suffered came with a heavy price, leaving her uncertain about what to do next. However, she was determined to never suffer the same loss again.
"You think youāre smug, being a commodity sold as a prostitute, still daring to be arrogant." Qin Cuifen stood with her hands on her hips, almost bursting into laughter. "Iāll wait and see how miserable you become once we reach the shore."
