Chapter 1448 - 1449: Meeting

The main issue is, at night, those old men would often knock on her door, and sometimes when she came back, those people would deliberately reach out to try to touch her chest in the hallway.

Several times at night, Gu Juan could hear someone poking her door with some tool in the middle of the night.

Scared, she hurriedly used everything in her home that could block the door to barricade it.

She thought about moving, but there was no way; she had no money.

Even now, with this menial job in the hotel kitchen, the salary was pitifully small.

"Hmph, you old hag, still think you’re a young maiden?" Just as she was thinking, the big yellow-toothed man across from her rubbed the dirt on his body and looked at her wickedly, saying, "It’s your blessing that I take a fancy to you."

Damn, if he had money to hire a girl, he wouldn’t even bother with such an old crone.

Terrified, Gu Juan quickly locked the door.

She knew almost everyone here was watching, and if she got overwhelmed by that yellow-toothed man tonight, more of them would come in the future nights.

Then she’d be like a free prostitute.

Gu Juan was scared to death.

No, absolutely not.

Thinking of how she saw Miss Zhou looking so high and mighty the other day, even the hotel manager treated her with respect.

And she, was merely an assistant by Lv Guoqing’s side.

Hmph... saying she’s an assistant, she’s just benefitting from Lv Guoqing’s influence.

What if everyone knew Lv Jinzhe was her and Lv Guoqing’s child? How would they look at her then?

Even more, if she became Mrs. Lv, her life wouldn’t be like this anymore.

At least, she’d live a life above others.

And these people, who would dare to look at her with those filthy eyes again?

Who would dare to look down on her?

Gu Juan lay on the wooden bed, lost in thought.

That night, Gu Juan had a dream.

She dreamed of becoming a young girl again, and beside her stood a man who stretched out a hand and smiled at her, then led her onto a stage.

There were people everywhere below the stage.

She could feel the envy and jealousy of those people towards her.

In her life, she had never received such attention; the feeling was simply magical.

Gu Juan stood there proudly.

Amidst the crowd, she saw Miss Zhou, who was looking at her with a vicious stare.

Gu Juan gave her a provocative smile, "Gu Qing, I don’t like that person."

"If you don’t like her, I will drive her away," the man beside her said gently.

Then, she saw Miss Zhou glaring at her angrily, navigating through the crowd, charging towards her, "You filthy bitch, disgusting the hell out of me."

Startled, Gu Juan realized she had zoned out while dumping trash, and actually dumped it on someone.

And that person was a cook in the kitchen.

He had just come out briefly for a smoke, and this old woman had thrown trash all over him.

The cook didn’t even think and slapped Gu Juan.

The slap nearly knocked Gu Juan out cold.

"What? You stinking old woman, dare to glare at me." The cook angrily raised his hand, intending to slap her again, but just then, his hand was caught.

"Ouch... it hurts so much..." The cook frowned and shouted.

"You... how..."

When Gu Juan saw the person who came along, she froze completely.
