Lou Yue was penniless when she left the St. Dalton Hotel.

The rain had stopped for a long time, but the wind was still blowing as if it hadn't pulled the brakes. She walked down the busy street with her arms crossed, looking at the couples walking past her.

The smiles on their faces were so warm, the places they wanted to go so clear, it was as if she was the only one who had no hope. The city was so big, but no place was her home.

She still did not want to die. Even though she would rather die than live, she still walked back to her original home.

Lou Yue had rarely returned to the house since her mother had died with her wounds all over her body. She had a steady and admirable job and a gentle and considerate boyfriend, and she was living a good life, except for a fixed sum of money every month for the man to drink and gamble with.

When she took out the key to open the door, Lou Yue realized that her palms were moist, and even her back was covered in cold sweat. She forced herself to be calm as she opened the door, and just as the key turned out to be a "creak" sound, she tightly held the extremely sharp stone that she had just picked up midway.

Lou Yue stepped into the darkness and stepped into the narrow living room. Borrowing the dim moonlight outside the window, she saw Lou Haodong, who was already unconscious and lying on the bed.

When he turned on the light, he found that the whole room was a mess, as if it had been robbed by bandits. The filth that was vomited in front of Lou Haodong's bed already gave off an extremely bad smell, and there seemed to be a layer of filth in the corner, as if someone had vomited it again and again. The new filth covered the old, but no one had ever washed it.

Lou Yue couldn't stand the smell anymore. She rummaged through the house for some cleaning tools and used a mop to wash the entire place. Then she squatted down and wiped the floor with a rag again and again before finally stopping the stench coming from the floor.

She also found it strange that he could live to this day while being unable to pay him for the gambling with his usual love and quarrel. She rubbed her aching head, and just like what her mother used to do, she went to the kitchen and brought a basin of warm water, preparing to wipe Lou Haodong's rough face that had not been washed for who knows how long.

But the moment the towel touched his face, he twisted his arm and bumped into her bandaged forehead. The man in front of her who was almost fifty years old had the same strength on his wrist, and was also extremely drunk.

Lou Yue's mind suddenly flashed with countless scenes of him beating up her mother in this room. Lou Yue's mind suddenly flashed with countless scenes of her mother beating up her mother in this room.

His mother, Qin Wan, was such a gentle woman. She was from a rich and powerful family, yet she fell into this person's hands and was tortured like that by him.

After getting beaten up, he forced a smile and comforted her during breakfast the next day, "Yue, Yue, you heard from mother that uncle only had a bad temper after drinking too much yesterday. You know he doesn't usually do that, but when mother was kicked out of the Gu family and found out that you were pregnant, he took me in and also took you in.

When she thought of Qin Wan, Lou Yue's face tightened in pain. It had been a long time since she dared to think about the icy cold body and stiff face she had on the bed.

However, she was bankrupt because her Qin Family was broken. Her husband, Gu Qinghai, could find a new wife and even openly bring the girl home. In the end, he even swept her out of the house after that woman gave birth to Gu Qingyan.

Her biological father was Gu Qinghai, her stepfather was Lou Haodong. Even if one was in the clouds and the other was in the dust, they were all not good people!

Lou Yue no longer wanted to help him clean up. She threw the towel on Lou Haodong's face with disgust and walked into the living room.

Lou Yue used the remote control to brush away the smelly socks that had been left open on the dining room table. She placed a few sheets of paper on the dilapidated sofa.

Lou Yue didn't even know if Lou Haodong was willing to take her in for a few more days. Three years ago, when she heard that she was going to prison, he rushed to her residence and slapped her.

She hadn't been able to give him money for three years, so naturally he should be angry. angry to the point that even if he dragged her to the hospital and threatened to sell all the blood in her body for money, she felt that it was natural.

She didn't even dare to turn on the TV. On the counter, there was a pile of yellow discs of Lou Haodong idling around. The DVD was still open, but with just a glance, the contents on the cover were enough to make people nauseous.

She forced herself to pull herself together, not daring to sleep, and just sat there in the dark until dawn.

When dawn arrived, Lou Yue seemed to have finally been relieved. She took a long breath, changed into the clothes she had left here before, took out some change from the bedside table, went to the bathroom to wash up, and went out.

She couldn't be in the same room with Lou Haodong when he was awake. That person was too shameless and too vulgar. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she was alone with him.

Fortunately, today was Friday. Qin Wan and Lou Haodongsheng's sons, her brother Lou Xu, who was in high school, would come back in the afternoon. She could use this time to find a job so that she could leave the place that could explode at any time.

Although she had thought about it before, after strolling around the talent market for an entire day, Lou Yue found that the stain on her body made it difficult for her to get a good job. She could no longer be a lawyer, so she shook her head when she heard that she had a criminal record.

It was almost evening when she finally found a job as a cashier in the supermarket. She would have to work two shifts in the morning and one for three days. If she needed to eat and sleep for a full night, her salary would be deducted.

As soon as she heard that she could find a place to stay, Lou Yue immediately agreed.

As long as she didn't have to live under the same roof as someone like Lou Haodong, she was willing to do anything.

Lou Yue finally felt a little better after her job was set. She was still thinking whether her brother would remember her and miss her after not seeing Lou Xu for three years.

While thinking about it, he bought a watermelon that Lou Xu liked to eat when he was young. However, due to his thin body and the injuries on his feet, he could only carry it home while limping.

When she walked to the entrance of the residential complex, she rubbed her red fingers and changed her hand to carry the bag. Just as she put down the watermelon, she realized that a car had stopped downstairs at an unknown time, and she remembered that it hadn't been there before she left in the morning. But now, the shabby street lamps below were flickering, just like how a powerful person would do, and all the light was focused on the sudden and eye-catching black Maserati that was quietly sitting in an old-fashioned residential building.
