Ye Qian Xing?
Ning Xixi stared at her in shock.
How could it be her?
Ye Qian Xing was wearing the uniform of the BBQ restaurant waitress, now torn and ragged. Her eyes were red-rimmed, her face pale, and her shoulders trembled non-stop, like leaves in the autumn breeze.
"F*ck! You dirty bitch! I told you to hide!" From a stall, a burly man with a vicious face emerged and slapped Ye Qian Xing across the face.
Ye Qian Xing was knocked to the ground, clutching at the floor tiles, her voice thick with a sobbing tone, "Help me... please help me..."
Before Ning Xixi could speak, the man barked nastily, "Get out!"
Ning Xixi frowned slightly, not wanting to meddle, but as she stepped towards the door, she heard Ye Qian Xing’s desperate scream, "Dad, please don’t do this..."
"I’m not your goddamn dad! What ’this’ and ’that’! If you dare call me that again, I’ll kill you!"
Ning Xixi paused in her steps.
She had heard a bit about Ye Qian Xing’s family situation.
Her mother had abandoned her poor husband back in her hometown and came to Ying City with her and her younger sister, marrying a small-time business owner.
If Ning Xixi wasn’t mistaken, this man was Ye Qian Xing’s stepfather!
And it was clear that Ye Qian Xing was being forced.
Ning Xixi turned back and said expressionlessly, "Excuse me, uncle, I have a stomachache, this is the ladies’ restroom, right? Can you leave?"
The man snorted coldly, "Little girl, it’s not good to be nosy!"
"Since you won’t leave, then I have no choice but to call someone." Ning Xixi cleared her throat, "Ah! There’s a pervert in the women’s restroom!"
As soon as the man heard her shout, he panicked. Although he had often tormented his stepdaughter, he didn’t want to make a big scene. Cursing under his breath, he hurried past Ning Xixi towards the outside.
Ning Xixi slowly walked towards Ye Qian Xing.
"Thank you..." Tears streamed down Ye Qian Xing’s face.
She had once mustered the courage to seek help from Ma Yiqing, only to receive a cold look, "People who are pitiful must have something despicable about them. Isn’t this what you deserve? What’s it got to do with me?"
She had never imagined that one day Ning Xixi would be the one to help her.
"In your situation, you shouldn’t thank me, you should call the police," Ning Xixi said calmly.
She could help for a moment, but not for a lifetime.
Ye Qian Xing shook her head desperately, "I can’t call the police..."
Her mother was ill, and if she resisted, her stepfather would not treat her mother.
Moreover, she had a younger sister. What if one day, her sister also fell into the stepfather’s clutches...
Her past assistance to Ma Yiqing against Ning Xixi was only because Ma Yiqing had promised her money for doing the dirty work.
Seeing her reaction, Ning Xixi frowned but did not say anything more.
She was not the Holy Mother Mary, nor a savior. If Ye Qian Xing herself chose not to fight back, Ning Xixi wouldn’t go out of her way to help her.
Ning Xixi turned to leave, but behind her came the timid voice of Ye Qian Xing, "Ning Xixi, could you lend me some money?"
She had just received her wages from her part-time job today, but her stepfather had snatched it all away just now...
"How much?"
"Two hundred would be enough!"
Ning Xixi searched through her belongings, she had a little over five hundred in total. After a moment’s thought, she gave it all to Ye Qian Xing.
"I still suggest you call the police. Constant tolerance will only lead him to take more advantage of you."
Ye Qian Xing forced a smile, "Thank you, I’m truly grateful."
Ning Xixi was the first person who had ever cared for her.
