Chapter 3 Why Won't You Let Me Go

The issue of losing her virginity had devastated her, and upon hearing An Xin's words, she couldn't help but retort sharply.

"If Tang Yuchen is so great, why don't you go? Why don't you take this opportunity?"

An Xin responded not with anger but a laugh, "An Ruo, you and your brother have been living in our home for over a decade; it's time you showed some gratitude. Besides, our family isn't a charity; we don't support people for nothing. In fact, you should be thankful to us because we have found you a strong support, a good family. Once you're married, you won't have to worry about food or clothing."

An Ruo was stunned, and asked in surprise, "What do you mean by that?"

Seeing that his daughter had spilled the beans, An Mingqi no longer kept An Ruo in the dark.

"Ruoruo, you really should be thankful to us. We've found you a very decent husband, Tang Yuchen. Weren't you blaming Tang Yuchen for taking advantage of you? Well, now you're going to marry him and become his wife soon. So, you shouldn't hold this against him anymore."

"You... you're going to marry me off to Tang Yuchen? To that rapist!"

Xu Huwen frowned and said, "Don't phrase it so crudely. Mr. Tang's worth billions; marrying him is the fortune of your previous lifetimes. Trading your body for Mrs. Tang's status, it is Mr. Tang who is at a loss."

An Ruo understood.

They had indeed sold her.

And thoroughly so, not only had they used her to sign a contract with Tang Yuchen, but they had also successfully kicked her out of the home.

"Hah, you've really calculated everything perfectly," An Ruo said through gritted teeth.

She wiped away her tears, suppressed the pain in her heart, and said coldly, "I'm telling you, I'd rather die than marry Tang Yuchen! If you don't like me staying here, I'm leaving right now!"

"Sister!" An Ji, who had been secretly listening to their conversation, rushed out and clung to her waist, crying, "Sister, I'll go with you. Don't leave me behind!"

"Don't worry, I won't leave you behind, I'll take you wherever I go," An Ruo said as she grabbed his hand, preparing to leave.

Suddenly, An Ming grabbed An Ji from behind and said coldly, "Ruoruo, whether or not you marry Tang Yuchen is not up to you. If you don't marry him, I will send Xiao Ji abroad, and you'll never be able to see each other again."

An Ruo stared at her uncle in shock, as if she didn't recognize him.

"Uncle, you've already used me to get what you wanted, why can't you let me go?"

"If you don't marry Tang Yuchen, the second round of funding won't come through. Ruoruo, since you've already lost your virginity to him, you might as well do the kind thing and marry him, letting uncle's company successfully secure all the funding," An Qiming shamelessly said.

"An Ruo, think carefully, whether An Ji lives or dies abroad will be left to fate," An Xin said with a sweet smile, yet a gleam of malice flickered in her eyes.

She hated An Ruo, because An Ruo was prettier than her.

She was more popular at school, and whenever An Ruo was around, nobody cared about her presence.

For her, An Ruo's existence was a nightmare.

Only by completely destroying An Ruo and making her suffer could her own heart feel content.

An Ruo's face was devoid of any color, but her eyes were resilient and stubborn, "You have no right to send Xiao Ji abroad, I'm his sister, and I will take him away!"

Moreover, Xiao Ji couldn't go abroad; he had asthma and could be in danger of losing his life at any moment.
