The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

She turned her head, her strikingly beautiful face looking at Chen Fang, and said, "Mr. Chen, how about we go for a swim? If you beat me, I'll tell you."

What kind of strange request is this?

Chen Fang was momentarily stunned.

He nodded and said, "Alright, but I think you're definitely going to lose."

Jiang Yu smiled slightly.

She said, "That's not necessarily true, don't forget, my name is Jiang Yu."

Chen Fang took off his clothes.

He put on the swim trunks that Zhou Zheng had brought over.

The two of them lined up at one end of the pool.

At Jiang Yu's command.

They both almost simultaneously leaped into the water.

At first, Chen Fang was a bit complacent.

After all, in his eyes, Jiang Yu was just a vase, but unexpectedly, not only was her posture extremely professional, but her movements were also quite fast. He was stunned for just a few seconds, and the gap between them widened.

Her graceful figure was right in front.

If he lost, it would be quite embarrassing.

Thinking of this.

Chen Fang began to exert himself.

Although he slowly caught up, due to his earlier laziness, he was ultimately a beat too slow, letting Jiang Yu win.

The two emerged from the water at the same time.

Perhaps due to the intense exercise.

Jiang Yu's face was slightly flushed, appearing even more alluring under the balcony lights.

Glistening droplets hung on her full breasts, the visual allure tightened Chen Fang's lower abdomen involuntarily.

"You lost."

Jiang Yu said happily.

Chen Fang was somewhat annoyed.

However, he graciously admitted his defeat.

He exhaled deeply and said, "I was too complacent. You're not a professional athlete, are you?"

"Do I look like one to you?"

Jiang Yu leaped.

and sat by the edge of the pool.

Chen Fang followed suit and sat beside her.

The moonlight tonight was nice.

The bright moon, along with the starry sky, was indeed quite beautiful.

Jiang Yu lay her head back, gazing at it, and sighed, her expression turning forlorn.

She glanced at Chen Fang.

and asked, "Do you want to hear my story?"

"If you want to tell it, I'll listen."

Chen Fang responded.

Jiang Yu's jade-like feet splashed in the water, her eyes still looking at the distant moon, and she murmured, "When I was young, I lived in the countryside. At that time, there weren't many amusements in a poor place, so every sleepless night, I would watch the moon in the sky and wonder, is the moon the same outside?"

"Is it the same?"

Chen Fang asked.

Jiang Yu shook her head.

She said, "No, it's not."

"How's it different?"

"The moonlight for the poor illuminates the road home, at night, everyone walks in hurried steps, unwilling to stop and admire; but in the city, this moonlight becomes a beautiful scene, a backdrop for drinking, revelry, and outdoor camping. People's mentality is different, and naturally, so is the moon."

At that moment.

A feeling suddenly surged in Chen Fang's heart.

This woman, only thirty-three years old, must be filled with stories.

Completely different from the rumors.

Jiang Yu didn't drop out of school and leave her hometown at sixteen.

She was sold away.

And the one who sold her was her own father.

She said, she was born into a family so poor that it was heartrendingly poor.

Her father was a simple farmer, who married a mentally impaired woman.

Her mother gave birth to a son and two daughters.

Jiang Yu was the second child.

That year, when she was sixteen, her brother Jiang Jun was twenty-two. Maybe due to heredity, her brother's mind wasn't sharp either, nor was he efficient with work, and studying was out of the question.

That year.

Her father decided to find a wife for her brother.

But the family was so poor, who would want to marry into it?

They didn't even have a basic house.

So.

Her father set his sights on Jiang Yu.

After all, Jiang Yu was known far and wide for her beauty, even at sixteen, she had blossomed beautifully.

So.

Her father found a family in the county through connections.

The man was a lifelong bachelor, at that time forty-eight years old.

He had never married, having saved up a few thousand yuan with hard work.

After negotiating, her father sold her to that old man for three thousand yuan.

After receiving the money.

The old man took Jiang Yu away.

That was the first time in her sixteen years that she left her hometown.

At this point in the story.

She looked at Chen Fang and asked, "Do you know how I felt at that time?"

Chen Fang shook his head.

He did not want to guess the heart of a girl sold off at sixteen.

Jiang Yu smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I was very happy then, really happy. At home, my sister and I were just tools, beasts of burden, only by working hard wouldn't our father scold us. Father said that our purpose was to serve our brother, and as long as our brother needed something, we must do anything."

It was a feeling of escaping the bitter sea, of getting away from hell.

She felt this way because she was too young back then.

She had no idea what kind of fate awaited her.

That night.

She ate the most delicious meal of her life at that old man's house.

In Jiang Yu's words, although looking back now the food wasn't that great, the feeling of wishing she could swallow her tongue still remains vivid.

But as soon as it turned dark.

Her misfortune began.

The old man had been waiting impatiently.

Without a word, he stripped off his own clothes.

Then he pinned Jiang Yu to the bed.

Her clothes were almost torn off.

"Did you resist?"

Chen Fang asked.

Jiang Yu shook her head and said, "No, at that time, although I didn't know what was going to happen, I knew that to eat such delicious food again, a price had to be paid, everything in this world has a cost."

Jiang Yu said she just remembered the old man's movements were very rough.

The ripping sensation almost made her pass out.

But she gritted her teeth and endured.

Because another delicious meal awaited her tomorrow.

This was her motivation to endure everything.

She lived at the old man's house for a year in total and later escaped. It wasn't because she couldn't stand the man's abuse, but because she was tired of the food at his house and wanted even tastier and more delicious food.

"Isn't my reason laughable?"

Jiang Yu asked Chen Fang.

Chen Fang smiled slightly and said, "You were just playing the obedient girl for a year to gain his trust and lower his guard, right?"

"You're very clever."

Jiang Yu was seen through.

Her expression was a little surprised.

Then she praised without reservation.

Indeed, that was the case.

The old man had paid a hefty price for her, and being as attractive as she was.

Of course, he was afraid of losing her.

Therefore, whenever the old man went out, he would chain her inside the house, to prevent her from escaping.
