So in her previous life, Wa Yiting had always been dependent on "Ruan Jiaojiao" since she started school.
But in this life, without "Ruan Jiaojiao," not to mention schooling, even survival became a problem, so at fourteen, she left the Wa Family to work.
At this time, penalties for hiring child laborers werenāt that severe, and there were plenty of young girls like her starting work. Though the wages were low, at least she could support herself.
As she grew older, the places she worked also changed, and her horizons broadened. She gradually left the small county, gaining more exposure and meeting more and more diverse people.
Among these people were some with money, and as a teenage girl, naturally, some would have certain thoughts about her. Initially, Wa Yiting rejected this, but as the temptations grew, she gradually tasted the benefits of money and slowly opened up, becoming proactive.
Over the years, she had met too many people. Even though she didnāt remember Shen Ting at all, seeing his reaction now, she couldnāt help but wonder if she had ever flirted with him before.
Most of the men she had flirted with were older because she knew they liked young girls the most, had good financial capabilities, and were generous.
But if Shen Ting had the same intention now, she wouldnāt mind. She put down the bed sheet, moved closer to Shen Ting, and said ambiguously, "Sir, I donāt want to study. If you want to support me, you can help me do business."
"Do business?" Shen Ting looked at Wa Yiting, who was almost forcing herself into his embrace. Something he once yearned for desperately in his previous life but now was delivered right in front of him. As she was about to touch him, he instinctively backed away in surprise, bumping into the clothes rack which fell, emitting a series of crashing sounds.
Wa Yiting was expert at reading peopleās expressions in these years, and she could clearly see Shen Tingās disdain. Her expression changed instantly; she stiffened, thinking he was intentionally making fun of her after seeing previous things, and sarcastically said, "You are a person of identity, Sir. Itās better not to joke around with service staff like us when youāre free. What sponsoring studies? Iām nineteen, graduated from elementary school, what would you sponsor?"
"Iām serious!" Shen Ting, unsure why he backed away, responded immediately seeing her displeasure.
"Iām not studying now. If you truly want to support me, convert it to money instead. I need money! Thirty or fifty thousandādo you have it?"
"..." Shen Ting paused for a while.
Wa Yiting saw his lack of response and became more convinced of her previous suspicions, turning to continue tidying the bed.
After a long silence, Shen Ting finally spoke, "I do have it, but not that much on me. If you need it, I can go to the bank and withdraw it for you, though it might be a bit troublesome."
Wa Yiting looked at Shen Ting incredulously, as if looking at a fool. Working at the Ruan Familyās hotel was considered a respectable job in Changling. Though she was just in logistics, she earned over four hundred a month, excluding tips. Encountering generous guests, like the middle-aged men earlier, allowing them some flirtation, she could earn a thousand a month, more than the hotel manager, which was quite good.
