Liao Ruomin didn't know what to say, a vague sense of unease creeping into her heart. "Mom, what do we do now?"

"We can only beg Zhao An for help. If he can't, then we can basically only watch your dad suffer in there. Waaah, Ruomin, Mom is so sorry for your father." Qin Xue suddenly hugged her eldest daughter and cried, "But Mom has no choice. Your brother needs money too. He's joined a trainee program, saying he wants to be an actor, which costs tens of thousands of yuan every month. Mom has no other options."

Only then did Liao Ruomin realize just how tragic her family's situation was. She gently stroked her mother's back, "Doesn't Xiaozheng know about the family's situation?"

"He knows, but he says he can't leave. Sigh, Mom only now realizes how much of a failure I've been. Your father is in such a terrible situation, and your brother hasn't even come back to see him." Qin Xue was almost crying with anger, but all that was in the past. These were her ex-husband's children; what she needed to do was have children for her current husband, Zhao An.

"He went too far! How could he do this!" Liao Ruomin was frantic. Why had everything been so unlucky lately?

"So now Mom has no ambitions anymore. I just want your dad to live a good life. Mom can't face your father, so I can only do what I can for him in the end," Qin Xue began to explain. Actually, this was all a conspiracy, a conspiracy against Liao Ruomin.

Liao Ruomin was a very proud woman, even more so than her sister. Such a woman was fierce and bold, but she valued family ties very much. To win over such a woman, one either had to rape her or outsmart her. Although rape wouldn't be a big deal—she could still be made to feel good—Zhao An wouldn't do that. He wanted to make Liao Ruomin fall into his trap, obediently bow her head to him, and beg him in the most humble tone. He wanted her to swallow all her pride and arrogance.

Qin Xue actually had no feelings for her ex-husband anymore, and hadn't even visited him. Everything was an act to please her man, Zhao An. She was willing to give up everything, even her daughter and her mother. Her shameless pregnancy with Zhao An's child shows she had fallen; not only had her heart fallen for him, but even her vagina had taken the shape of his penis. She was a wife who had been sexually assaulted countless times, and after being violated countless times, she had fallen in love with the boy who had forced her.

Hearing her mother's words, Liao Ruomin felt a pang of sorrow and bitterness in her heart. She hugged her mother tightly, "Mom, you've worked so hard."

"It's not hard at all. As long as you can both find jobs smoothly, that's all that matters. I don't have much ability right now, and I hope you won't be influenced by me and change yourself. There's no turning back now. I've fallen in love with your sister's classmate, and I'm pregnant with his child. I just want to tell you the whole truth so you can make the best judgment yourself. You're grown up now and have your own ability to think." Qin Xue wiped away her tears and took out a bundle of money from her backpack. "This is 20,000 yuan. You don't have a job yet and you still need money. Keep this for now."

"I... I can't take it." Liao Ruomin lowered her head; she had succumbed to reality. She truly needed the money. She had been fired, and hadn't even worked for a few days. Proud but lacking the corresponding skills, she could only succumb to reality.

Qin Xue patted her eldest daughter's hand. "Mom knows, you can put it away now. That's enough, I'm going back now." She then got up and left.

"Mom, let me see you off." Liao Ruomin was about to say something when the door opened again, and there came her younger sister, Liao Ruoxia.

But Liao Ruoxia was still as tall as ever, but now she wore light makeup, manicured nails, and bright red nail polish on her toes. Her clothes had an inexplicable sense of style; although she didn't know how much they cost, they certainly weren't cheap. But what was most striking was her protruding belly—a high school student was pregnant! She looked to be four or five months along. This sight made Liao Ruomin feel dizzy. What had happened to her sister?

"Xia! How could this happen!" Liao Ruomin covered her mouth, unable to believe that her sister had changed so much.

"Mom, you go back to the car and wait. I'll talk to my sister." Liao Ruoxia casually took out a cigarette and lit it. Her practiced movements gave her a slightly rebellious, almost delinquent air, like a troubled teenager about to do something.

Qin Xue nodded, then walked away in her high heels, clutching her aching back. Pregnancy seemed to be a significant burden for her. If Zhao An saw her, he'd definitely be overcome with lust. Nothing was more alluring than seeing a still-attractive, charming mature woman clutching her aching back. Such a seductive pose—it would be a shame not to have sex with her.

Liao Ruoxia exhaled a smoke ring, her beautiful eyes, painted with purple eyeshadow, glanced at her sister, then sat down on the sofa. "You know about Dad's affair too? Mom and I became Zhao An's mistresses, and he paid off our 30 million debt. I can still get into a prestigious university through the recommendation system, and Mom's life will be well taken care of. But he won't help with Dad's affairs anymore; that's all our value is now."

If it were before, Liao Ruomin would definitely have roared and angrily scolded her sister for being shameless. Now that she knows what's going on, there's no point in saying anything more. "I understand. Thank you and Mom for your hard work."

Liao Ruoxia shook her head. "I don't feel tired at all. I'm very happy and joyful with Zhao An. It's just that Dad needs your help. He can't hold on much longer. It needs to be resolved quickly. I can't do anything about it, but you can."

This surprised Liao Ruoxia, who pointed to herself and said, "Me? What can I do?"

"You're still a virgin, aren't you? You can go to Zhao An and talk to him. Maybe he'll agree to help because of you. He's a very principled man. Mom and I can live well, but there aren't many people like us. So, you know what to do."
