C141 Half a month ago (2/2)

Shang tightly clenched his fist, his heart as sharp as a knife.

She hated it when people said that about Begonia. Although it seemed to be the truth, she just couldn't accept it.

The bawd went into the kitchen and called Li Shang out.

”Originally, I wanted to raise you for a few more days, but look, Begonia is about the same age as you, and already we have endless patrons. I think it's better for you to dress yourself up and receive our guest tonight.”

To her, these words were like a bolt out of the blue.

There seemed to be something stuck in her throat. She wanted to speak, but was unable to because she knew that she had no right to refuse.

At this moment, Begonia walked over with a sweet smile. ”Mum seems to be in too much of a hurry. I'm afraid the customer will dislike her with her appearance.”

”Although mother is old, her eyes are not blind. How can I not know how she looks like? As the saying goes, gold will always shine, and a mere layer of black ash will not be able to stop it. ” The bawd stepped forward and tried to wipe Li Shang's face clean with a handkerchief.

However, Begonia stretched out her hand to stop him, ”Give her another month, she doesn't know anything now. I'll teach her, don't worry, mom. I'll make her more outstanding than me.”

With a firm tone and a serious expression, the old procuress could only step back.

”Alright, I'll leave Shang with you. You two are on good terms and it's convenient for you to speak.” Then he started to leave.

Shang, however, smiled wryly in his heart. Good relationship? Where did good feelings come from? That was before, but now? But she had to teach herself how to please men.

Was this what she thought her sister should do?

The rain got heavier and heavier, leaving her with a despairing shadow: ”Come to my room tonight.”

A girl who heard what they had said just now walked up to Li Shang and asked, ”Will she teach you well?” I'm afraid that it's too late for you to fight over the guest with her. A woman's heart is like the bottom of the sea.

Li Shang ran into the rain, squatting and bawling on the ground, her arms wrapped around her knees, her tears and the rain mixing together.

His father had taught her to love herself, her father had taught her to be honest, but now? Everything went in the opposite direction of her faith.

In the corridor of the pavilion, a certain woman quietly watched the rain falling on Li Shang, her eyes cold.

The night came quickly, and with heavy steps, Li Shang slowly climbed the stairs.

When he reached the door, he heard a familiar voice, ”The door can be pushed open.”

Sure enough, she was waiting for him.

In fact, Shang had always been arrogant, but tonight, her arrogance was gradually eroding.

Begonia sat on the bed and pointed to a bowl of ginger soup on the table, ”You got drenched in the rain today, drink it.”

Li Shang looked up at her in disbelief, asking as if, ”How do you know?”

”Since I gave up the great opportunity to receive you guests today to teach you, then you must properly learn, don't disappoint me.” You are an extremely good beauty. If I had your face, why would I worry about not obtaining the title of Courtesan Belle? ”

Li Shang held Jiang Tang in his mouth, unwilling to swallow it down. Her eyes were filled with grief and indignation.

The flower naturally noticed him and smiled contemptuously: ”Guest, you don't like women with big tempers. You're too stubborn, it's best to keep it.”

”I thought you hadn't lost your heart. Unexpectedly, you still changed.” Shang swallowed, and spoke in a sorrowful voice.

Actually, she should have thought about it long ago. How much did she, who only knew about money, value sisterhood?

It was already good that she didn't want to add insult to injury, what more could he expect.

This was how the mundane world would slowly wither up a pure white lotus flower.
