The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 184 - 188: The Mob Boss’s Little Sweetheart (20)

Song Yu’s eyes were practically glued to Lin Yue, and with a pitiful expression, she broke into the conversation, "Senior, we didn’t just meet a few times..." They even had dinner once during a club activity, though it was with dozens of other people.

Ruyi became even more annoyed, angrily batting away her boyfriend’s hand and with red eyes, she said, "See, she says you’ve met more than just a few times."

After saying that, she wiped away a tear and ran off.

Lin Yue wanted to chase after her but was tugged at the hem of his clothes by a small hand, and upon turning back,

He was met with this inexplicably upset woman—if his memory served him right, he truly wasn’t familiar with her.

Song Yu, too, had tears in her eyes, but the hand holding onto his clothes tightened as she stretched out her voice and called, "Senior."

Filled with a sense of grievance, Song Yu thought about the compromises she once made to prevent Chongming from hurting Lin Yue, and it made her feel a wave of distress.

He didn’t even know what she had done for him...

Seeing that he couldn’t break free and was anxious to go after his girlfriend, Lin Yue lost his temper and, breaking his principle of never laying a hand on women, shoved Song Yu away.

"Crazy woman, who are you? Get lost at once."

He was absolutely livid, feeling as though disaster had struck out of nowhere and it was terribly unpleasant.

Song Yu’s eyes widened as though she couldn’t believe it.

She thought Senior Lin was gentle and refined like the warm sun; how could he be as shallow as those vulgar people?

The woman called Ruyi, what’s so good about her? She clearly looked like a woman not content with domesticity.

Song Yu sat there dumbfounded on the ground while a crowd of students gathered around, pointing and making comments about her.

Before long, Song Yu became notorious around the university.

Some busybody had even taken a photo of her clinging onto Lin Yue and posted it on the school forum.

Lin Yue and Ruyi were considered a famous golden couple on campus, but today’s melodramatic episode drew in more public interest.

With the growing attention, more and more details about Song Yu started to get uncovered.

Some said she had a boyfriend, having been seen picked up by different luxury cars recently.

Others said she came from a poor family when she enrolled and often took part-time jobs, but now she seemed to be living in luxury, presumably kept by some rich man.

......

In any case, Song Yu’s name had become tarnished.

As for herself, she seemed to still be unaware of it.

Because she was facing the most difficult time, she had run out of money.

After getting to know Chongming, he had taken care of all her food, clothing, and other needs; she lacked freedom, but at least she didn’t have to worry about these basic necessities anymore.

Now that Chongming had been taken into custody, Song Yu had fallen back to her original state.

In a bid to show her moral high ground, she had never asked for anything from him. Chongming might not have cared or simply forgot, but he hadn’t given Song Yu anything material.

Except for clothes, bags, and jewelry...

All of which were still at Chongming’s place, which she couldn’t get at the moment.

So, apart from the clothes she was wearing and the diamond necklace around her neck, Song Yu didn’t even have money to buy food.

Left with no other choice, Song Yu had to sell off her clothes at a second-hand luxury goods store, along with her diamond necklace, which she exchanged for a bit of money, finally allowing her to enjoy a hot meal.

She didn’t want to return to the dormitory, and the money she had was enough for her to rent a small temporary place on her own.

It was only then that she truly felt the kindness that Chongming had shown her when he was around.

Song Yu completed all this with a sense of grievance, constantly telling herself that everything would be fine once Chongming got out.

However, what she didn’t know was that the issues Chongming was involved in were far from minor; he was responsible for several human lives and would most likely be stuck in prison for twenty or thirty years before having a chance to be released.

Song Yu was clueless. The little money in her hands slowly dwindled, and there was still no word from Chongming.

She had thought about looking for Su Li, but the problem was, setting everything else aside, she was just a poor student, who couldn’t even manage to see Su Li’s face.

"Knock knock knock... Song Yu, open the door for me. You still haven’t paid this month’s and last month’s rent. I’m telling you, I know you’re inside, and if you don’t pay within three days, you’d better scram."

Song Yu huddled in her room, her eyes red.

Why are these people like this...

Then her phone rang, "Song Yu, you’ve failed six courses starting from last month and haven’t earned the required credits. The academic affairs office says you need to retake the exams as soon as possible; otherwise, you’ll have to be expelled."

The call from her advisor was like a bolt from the blue, adding frost to the snow.

She needed to work part-time to earn money, leaving her no time to retake exams or earn credits.

Desperate, she had no choice but to take up the quick-money work of a hostess at a KTV.

The job was at night, so it didn’t conflict with her school activities.

Just like the last time, the KTV was a mixed bag of all sorts of characters. Song Yu, with her exceptional demeanor, turned out to be more popular than the other girls. In the past few days, she had indeed made quite a bit of money, but since she always kept her distance, the customers, who had initially thought she was teasing them, ran out of patience.

They played with her for a few days, really thinking she was acting like a "Beauty."

Not even letting them touch her hand, if she wanted to act so noble, why come to such a place to make quick money?

But this time, there was no second Chongming to come to her rescue.

Although Song Yu didn’t want to, she was still taken by the manager to a client’s private room.

She struggled until she bled, only to receive several harsh slaps from the other party, without any change in the final outcome.

After it was over, the client threw down a stack of red banknotes and spat, "Pah, so you’re not a virgin. What’s with the fake purity? You’ve clearly been with others before."

"Putting on an act, I thought you were being playful, but overdoing it is not good."

"Tomorrow it’s you again. We have an important client coming, so make sure to entertain him well for me."

Song Yu lay there like a dead fish, her body only covered with a thin blanket, exposing wounds and ambiguous traces on her skin.

"Get out, just get out..." Song Yu suddenly cried out hysterically, a hateful glare shooting from her bloodshot eyes.

The startled client, annoyed, immediately started hitting her with several more slaps.

"You bitch, didn’t you think it through before coming here? If you were really so virtuous, why didn’t I see you waiting tables or sweeping streets? It’s still about making money, isn’t it, and isn’t it faster and easier here... You didn’t seem to mind taking the money from the other day..."

Dragging her exhausted body, Song Yu returned to the dorm. The money that the client had tossed on the ground had still been picked up by her.

Before coming back, she went to the police station to make a report.

But the KTV where she worked was well known as a den of vice, and with the manager in there wheeling and dealing, the police ended up treating Song Yu’s case as a dispute over an agreed payment with a client, and instead detained her at the station for a few days.
