Free Web NovelChapter 266: Chapter 266: The Zhang Family Sisters in Distress _1
"How do you know so much about the lives of the two sisters?"
Lin Bingqing asked with great puzzlement.
Ye Ming smiled awkwardly and explained, "I just had some people ask around."
After he had come up with this idea, Ye Ming had Feng Yun investigate all the surveillance cameras in Ningjiang City to find the whereabouts of the Zhang sisters, Zhang Ruoyu and her sibling.
After the search, Ye Ming learned that since the Zhang Family had gone bankrupt, life had been very tough for the two sisters.
They had once lived like princesses, loved and respected by their family, but ever since the Zhang Family faced disaster, Zhang Lijun had disappeared without a trace.
The Zhang Sisters could only resort to living with relatives, staying in the most common shantytown areas in Ningjiang City.
Ye Ming said, "Last time, I actually gave them a card, but the relatives of the Zhang Family were ferocious like tigers; how could the two sisters compete? They couldn’t snatch it from their kin, and now they’re utterly penniless, dependent on others, it is too tragic for words."
After listening to Ye Ming’s narrative, Lin Bingqing’s expression became ambiguous.
"Master, so you have been secretly caring for your little fiancée. But it makes sense, Zhang Ruoyu is indeed very beautiful, and it’s only natural that you like her. Don’t worry, I won’t tell Miss Xu about this."
Lin Bingqing patted her chest, assuring on her own behalf.
Ye Ming laughed wryly and explained, "I didn’t mean it in that way, I just simply feel sympathy, after all, they are descendants of my grandfather’s old friends, and I can’t be too harsh; otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to explain myself to my grandfather in the future."
"Handing over the big business of the Zhang Family to them is most suitable, and having experienced this ordeal, the two sisters will have grown a bit more and, surely, won’t be so presumptuous anymore."
This decision was also made by Ye Ming after much deliberation, whether they could seize the opportunity now depended on Zhang Ruoyu’s performance.
...
In Ningjiang City, within a shantytown area.
The environment here was exceptionally dirty and chaotic, seemingly not part of Ningjiang City.
On a street swirling with trash, two girls in tattered clothes squatted on the ground.
Their hair was unkempt, their clothing was thin, they didn’t even have a decent pair of shoes.
They huddled close together, supporting each other.
They were once the famous and prominent Zhang Sisters in Ningjiang City.
Since the last time the Zhang Family lost to Ye Ming, they went completely bankrupt, Zhang Lijun disappeared, neglecting the two sisters and leaving them to fend for themselves.
The relatives of the Zhang Family, who had once treated them with love and respect, now ignored them. After looting all of the sisters’ possessions, they abandoned them on the streets.
The only relative who still showed a bit of old affection only provided them with a meal on the condition that they helped throw out the trash.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a full beard came by, tossed a large bag of garbage in front of them, handed them two stale steamed buns impatiently, and said, "Throw the trash further away, and you two, don’t squat in front of people’s houses, bringing bad luck!"
After saying this, the middle-aged man left.
These two stale buns were all the sustenance the sisters had for the whole day.
Zhang Ruoxue’s eyes lit up at the sight of the steamed buns. She had once feasted on the most gourmet foods, but now, even a plain bun was a delicacy to her.
Zhang Ruoyu looked at her sister with heartache; although she too was hungry, she handed her own bun to her sister and started rummaging through the trash for anything valuable.
Fallen to such a low, they didn’t choose to do wrong but picked to collect some recyclables to sell and get some money for food.
At this moment, a sleazy-looking man with blond hair approached Zhang Ruoyu and said, "Miss Zhang, there are a lot of empty bottles in my yard, would you like them?"
Zhang Ruoyu furrowed her brow, impatience flickering across her handsome face, without a word.
The blond man continued, "If you don’t want them, I’ll give them to other waste collectors. Those empty bottles should fetch a pretty penny, and there’s some scrap metal too. If you take them and sell them, you could probably buy a piece of clothing."
"Forget it, forget it, you don’t seem interested, so I’ll just give them to someone else."
After saying this, the blonde man was about to leave.
Zhang Ruoyu couldn’t help feeling tempted and quickly said, "Wait, I’ll take them."
A cunning glint flashed in the blond man’s eyes, and then he spoke in a feigned impatient tone, "If you want them, come and get them quickly, don’t waste my time."
Zhang Ruoyu and her sister exchanged a glance and then closely followed behind the blond man.
A few minutes later, the two sisters entered a dilapidated courtyard.
However, there was nothing inside the yard, only a scrawny man standing there.
"You..."
Zhang Ruoyu felt a sense of foreboding rising in her heart.
Before she could speak, the blond man had already closed the courtyard’s large gate and locked it.
"Miss Zhang, we just think you two sisters are having such a hard life, so we wanted to help you out,"
"Make us two brothers comfortable, and we’ll give you some money—how about one thousand each?"
The blond man’s sleazy hands began to move, his body inching closer to Zhang Ruoyu.
Zhang Ruoyu’s face showed terror as she raised her voice, "What are you trying to do? I’ll call for help!"
The blond man said, "Call for help? You’ve been in this shantytown for a while, how many people have you seen? Once you’re here, even if you scream your throat sore, no one will come to save you."
The scrawny man had already lost his patience and came closer, starting to tear at Zhang Ruoyu’s clothes. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
He too spoke in a sleazy manner, "I’ve long heard that the Zhang Sisters are pretty, and seeing you today, it’s indeed true! Miss Zhang, one thousand yuan would last the two of you quite some time, are you really going to turn it down?"
With a rip, Zhang Ruoyu’s sleeve was torn off, exposing a large area of pale skin to the air, igniting the most primal desires in the two men.
They no longer hesitated and began their assault on the Zhang Sisters.
Zhang Ruoxue hid behind her sister, terrified, while Zhang Ruoyu kept shouting loudly.
Alas, in this shantytown with few inhabitants and poor security, there was no chance anyone would come to their rescue.
A wave of despair rose in Zhang Ruoyu’s heart. Could it be that they would meet their fate here today?
Just as the situation was about to turn dire, a loud bang suddenly came from the courtyard gate, which then collapsed thunderously. fгeewebnovёl.com
A figure as beautiful as a celestial stood outside the door, her cold gaze surveying everyone inside the courtyard.
The blond man was startled, but after seeing the girl outside, even more sleazy thoughts appeared in his eyes, "Wow, another beauty delivered right to our door?"
