The wall decorated with cla.s.sic material of leather bags was so unique and luxury! Looking for far, the building itself looked like a big LV bag.

The national flag of France was flying proudly above the front roof of the building, which had a history of more than 150 years.

Weiwei had to lift her eyes high to get a full view of the building, which was so splendid.

However, its glorious history and bright aura were mixed with the lowliness and vanity of so many people!

Weiwei once heard that the branch of LV in Shanghai had a bag of limited edition delivered from France and priced it at over one million yuan with an intention to put on the dog.

Unexpectedly, a girl at 19 bought it with cash the following day.

The store manager was so excited and happy that she closed the door to count the money.

When Weiwei heard the story, she was so jealous of the girl in secret.

Now, she no longer needed to envy that girl.

At the moment, long lines stretched around the store for there were so many customers. However, the store had strict control of the number of the people that were allowed in.

About a half hour later, Weiwei finally came to the pink handbag with LV logos and cla.s.sic patterns that she had come to see many times.

In fact, she was not that into the bag and preferred the pink cartoon-like backpack on her back more.

One could also say that what captured her fancy was the LV brand itself. If she showed up with the bag in front of her friends, they would be jealous of her.

She paid the money with her bank card for the handbag, as well as a suitcase with LV logos and cla.s.sic patterns.

She could imagine that when she returned home and met her mother and friends at the airport, they would figure out she led a good life abroad once they saw the suitcase.

She then went to Chanel and bought s.e.xy nightdresses and swimsuit. Besides these, she also bought an expensive perfume.

She knew she could rely on her natural beautiful appearance and s.e.xy figure and that the dresses she bought would be her “battle suit” and “arms” and add her with value.

Right then, her cellphone rang. It turned out that her mother called her.

Weiwei's bright smile froze on her face, and she was on the verge of tears with her shopping bags scattered on the ground.

After she answered phone, her mother said to her in a pitiful tone, “Weiwei, come back. Your grandma and I miss you so much. I just want your company, is that a pushy request? Why none of you has ever really cared about me? Why? I need to be taken care of as well.”

Weiwei's heart went soft as she imagined her mother's tearful look.

Her mother continued, “My dear girl, come back. No one cares about you more than me. I'm really worried that you're so far away from home.”

Weiwei crouched down slowly with a blank look. Her arms around her knees, she seemed to think about thing.

She trembled like a yellow leaf teetering on the branch.

After a good while, she cried. “Mom, is my dad my biological father? Why he never shows any care for me?”

Her mother remained silent.

Both her mother and she were overwhelmed with the memory of the past.

Weiwei's father was a man who preferred boys to girls. When Weiwei's mother was pregnant with Weiwei, people all concluded that it was a boy from the looks of her belly, which made Weiwei's father smile from ear to ear.

As a result, Weiwei's father was quite disappointed at Weiwei's birth and wanted to raise a boy. However, Weiwei's mother had not gotten pregnant since then.

Weiwei's father never showed Weiwei any love until the day he found her grow into a lovely girl. He saw the potential of becoming a cash cow in her and thus started to treat her well.

He was addicted to gambling, and everytime he lost, he would take solace in alcohol. As time went by, he took to drink.

After he went broke, he easily got upset. Once, he went to a bar for drink and got drunken and crashed a man with his car.

The man was injured and asked for a compensation of five hundred thousand yuan, or he would accuse him.

It was true that bad things always came in succession. At the point, the family was penniless as Weiwei's father had lost all the money in gambling. They had no choice but to sell their house and rent a smaller one.

After that, Weiwei's father became even moodier. He did not go to work and gambled and drank more often. Everytime he got drunk, he would be Weiwei's mother to vent his depression.

Weiwei's mother was a sound designer of films with a stable income. However, she was a wimpy woman and dared not to stand against Wiewei's father and remained silent toward his violence.

One day in the afternoon, Weiwei's mother had gone to work, and Weiwei was was.h.i.+ng her hair in home.

Her father came back at the time.

No one knew whether he was overwhelmed by alcoholism or he had gone mad that he came up with some evil thoughts on his daughter

Luckily, he was a weak man and greatly drunk that Weiwei managed to escape from his grip after desperate struggle.

At that time, she only wore a thin T-s.h.i.+rt and long pants she used to wear at home, and her hair was dripping.

She wandered in the street without any idea of where to go.

She did not want to turn to her friends because she was such a proud girl that she did not want others to see her embarra.s.sment or to know her family scandal. Moreover, she knew temporary help could not solve her problems in long term.

At last, she had no choice but to turn to her grandmother.

Weiwei's grandmother did not have pension and all relied on her daughter and son-in-low after Weiwei's grandfather pa.s.sed away.

After the incident, Weiwei's mother went back her mother's home as well. Having known what her husband had done, cowardly as she was, she would not tolerate it either.

To protect her daughter from suffering any other harm, she plucked up her courage to divorce her husband. However, he strongly refused to get divorced.

At last, the two ended up with a deed of separation.

However, though separated, Weiwei's father still went to them for money frequently and pestered them.

After paying with all their savings for the tuition of Weiwei for the first year in her college, Weiwei's mother and grandmother had no more money to afford her any longer.

In the summer vacation, Man Shahua invited Weiwei for a trip in France and said she would offer her with a chance of making money, and Weiwei accepted the invitation at once.

She thought since she was not loved, she could take time to enjoy her life and make money herself.

During the trip in France, she saw Man Shahua change her boyfriends one after another.

Man Shahua worked as a waitress in Loving Chocolate Restaurant, not for money but for the chances to acquaint with people of upper cla.s.ses and the feelings of being pursued.

Man Shahua made use of these men on purpose and made them her “sponsors”, having them buy her dresses, jewelry, and fine foods.

However, everytime she tried to compare these “sponsors” to Mo Kun, she would come up with the conclusion that Mo Kun was far better than them.

Yamamoto Shang, one of Man Shahua's “sponsors”, had spent a lot of money on her.

Having been trained by many rich men, Man Shahua was skilled in serving men. She used all her skills to serve Yamamoto Shang and pleased him.

However, Yamamoto Shang was not a reliable man. He soon got bored of Man Shahua.

In order not to lose this customer, Man Shahua show him Weiwei's photos to impress him.

She knew Yamamoto Shang loved Lolitas like Weiwei the most.

Just as Man Shahua expected, Yamamoto Shang took a fancy to Weiwei at once. After knowing that Weiwei was Man Shahua's friend, he asked Man Shahua to introduce her to him.

As a result, taking advantage of Weiwei's character of innocence and easily trusting people, Man Shahua cheated Weiwei into going to France and taking the initiative to approaching Yamamoto Shang.

The poor Weiwei knew nothing about the trap and even thought Man Shahua a kind woman. However, she had become a chess piece of Man Shahua for whom to reach the upper cla.s.ses.

Man Shahua gained a lot benefits from Yamamoto Shang, who, meanwhile, accepted her into Vicious Dragon Gang for her cunning and ruthlessness and had her act as a leader of a small team.

At the point, Weiwei had no idea that she had fallen into a trip, but, soon, she would find it.

At two o'clock in the morning, Yamamoto Shang came back drunken.

He was so sozzled that he told Weiwei the truth.

After knowing the fact, Weiwei cried her eyes out.

She looked outside the window and saw fireworks in the sky.

She suddenly recalled that before she came to France, she once went to Xiaolu and took him to a empty place; she took out a bundle of fireworks and siad excitedly, “Let's set off these fireworks.”

At that time, Xiaolu checked his watch and replied coldly, “Why? What secret weapons have you got? Photos? Show them to me, hurry!”

Weiwei's smile froze on her face and she said in a crying tone, “I want nothing but to set off these fireworks with you. Shouldn't I have such a thought?”

Xiaolu had a weakness that he easily got tenderhearted toward girls.

He bent down and picked up a firework from the ground and lit it.

Weiwei wiped off her tears and turned back to join him.

They lit seven or eight fireworks quickly. The fireworks bloomed in the sky brightly; however, Xiaolu's smile was even brighter at the moment.

With expectation, Weiwei said gently to him, “Xiaolu, do you want to spend a night with me in hotel?”

Xiaolu answered flatly, “I regard you as my friend, and that's all.”

He then turned away without even looking back.

Watching his back, Weiwei was in a burst of tears of sorrow and resentment. She thought, “Why? Why don't you love me even after I've done so much for you?” An expression of hatred escaped her pink face.

For a long time, she had thought that an angel lived in her right atrium while a demon lived in her left atrium. The angel and demon stayed peacefully with each other, and she always showed her bright side of angel to other people.

However, sometimes, she would show a dark side of demon as well, just like what she had done to Long Xi behind her back.

The next day, in the early morning, Weiwei tried to leave from Yamamoto Shang's house, but the man just did not let her go.

He simply fell in love with Weiwei, who was innocent and had a good figure.

Yamamoto Shang, who was forty now, had once married a woman of his own kind under his father's order, but they finally ended up with divorce.

He disliked the woman for he thought her too a.s.sertive and smart that he could feel no superiority in front of her.

He thought if he were to marry a woman again, he would marry someone beautiful and obedient, like Weiwei, so that he could both have a wife and many lovers. Moreover, he thought that Weiwei, who had nice b.r.e.a.s.t.s but was less smart, was easy to see through, so, he did not have to pay much attention to her.

He said to Weiwei, “Let's have a trip in a small town in the south of France. It's a place with beautiful scene. You can say it a dreamland.”
