Listening to her mother's words, An Nuan couldn't help but let out a low cry, feeling an inexplicable sense of humiliation surge within her.
Especially with the man she had just registered her marriage with standing right in front of them, her mother could actually put her own daughter up for sale?
Such a mother was truly rare.
She didn't know why her mother had become this way.
"Mom, are you done?"
An Nuan looked at the somewhat stunned woman before her. Her eyes were filled with disappointment. "You weren't like this before."
Why had she become like this now?
She was uneducated and unskilled, good for nothing but gambling.
"Me, before?"
An Nuan's words seemed to have touched a raw nerve, and You Fengqiu laughed sarcastically.
"Don't talk to me about before. What good did it do me to be dutiful and self-disciplined then? I treated people kindly and did everything by the book, but what was the result? The Lu family still went bankrupt, and your father was still murdered, wasn't he? So, what's the use of being decent? Nuan Nuan, you tell me, what's the use?"
You Fengqiu asked excitedly. Compared to her trembling just moments ago, she had completely forgotten the current situation.
She had a mountain of pent-up anger she wanted to vent. She excitedly grabbed An Nuan's arm and shook it hard, and a flash of disappointment flickered in An Nuan's eyes.
"Yes, our Lu family went bankrupt, and Dad is gone, but as long as we work hard, we can live a good life. Have I earned little money all these years? I gave up my studies, I entered the entertainment industry, and all the money I earned went to pay off your gambling debts. I didn't earn a fortune, but it was enough to buy a small apartment in C City. But now? We don't even have a home."
An Nuan let out a low growl, her heart roaring with anguish.
She, too, wanted to scream and shout; she had a mountain of pain in her heart, but who could she tell?
No one would pity her. Her own mother, her closest kin, only drained her like a vampire.
And now, to top it all off, she had been blacklisted. She couldn't even get small roles anymore. She had no money left to pay the debts.
"Mom, I have news for you. This morning, my company blacklisted me. They won't terminate my contract, but they won't give me any roles either. From now on, I can't pay your gambling debts anymore. Whether you can keep your hands or not will depend on your own self-control."
An Nuan said coldly, her heart already chilled.
Having paid debts for so many years, she was exhausted.
She didn't have a single cent of savings. With no roles this month, she didn't even know where she'd live next month. Unable to pay rent, she risked being evicted at any moment.
In the past, to pay the debts, she'd even take on extra roles. Now, she realized how utterly foolish she had been.
Her "good" mother could even sell off her own daughter, Lu An Nuan. Why should she delude herself into thinking her mother was salvageable?
"Blacklisted?"
A cool voice suddenly chimed in. Chu Lingchuan looked at An Nuan before him with a curious expression, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Money isn't an issue; I can solve that for you. But as for you, I want you."
On Chu Lingchuan's captivating face was a possessive declaration.
An Nuan glanced over, her gaze immediately drawn by his uninhibited aura.
He was a strikingly handsome man. Different from Ye Yunfeng's beauty; if Ye Yunfeng possessed a calm elegance, this man was unrestrained and unconventional.
An Nuan looked at Chu Lingchuan, neither flinching nor shying away. She was momentarily struck by his stunning looks, yet felt no trace of materialism.
After a moment, An Nuan smiled and said, "I'm married."
