Chapter 1136 1134: Sigh
"Losing is losing..." Aunt Hong was able to accept this result.
"I will keep my promise, leave Jiangdu City, and never return."
Aunt Hong turned around and left.
Her silhouette appeared desolate.
Her colorful wings had already been folded away.
"Wait, Aunt Hong!"
Su Chen called out to Aunt Hong.
He sighed and said, "Aunt Hong, the Red Building, it's still you who should take over."
"What did you say?" Aunt Hong looked at Su Chen in surprise.
"I think the Red Building can only fulfill its function in your hands."
"Are you pitying me?" Aunt Hong squinted and asked.
Su Chen shook his head and said, "No, I'm not pitying you; I really believe that."
Even though I haven't been involved in managing the Red Building,
I've actually always known about the dealings of the Red Building.
The Red Building is not what it used to be.
Under Chen Shuo's management,
the operating model of the Red Building has already changed.
Chen Shuo had promised Su Chen that he would absolutely not force the girls of the Red Building to do things they didn't want to do.
However, he may not force them, but he can entice them.
The operating model of the Red Building is quite good.
And what Zhang Shu said while trying to get him a chance to meet Aunt Hong,
to turn the Red Building into a cultural industry unique to Jiangdu City.
He thought, this is a very good model."
"What price do I need to pay?" Aunt Hong didn't believe that Su Chen would give such a lucrative opportunity back to her.
Su Chen nodded and said, "There is indeed a price to pay; otherwise, you might think I'm joking with you."
"What do you want?"
"I want... Fu Lingzi..."
"Impossible!"
Before Su Chen could finish speaking,
Aunt Hong sternly refused.
Her face turned ugly.
Su Chen was actually interested in Fu Lingzi.
Many people know Fu Lingzi,
but almost no one has seen her face.
On her face,
there is an unsightly tattoo.
Aunt Hong, realizing that her attitude was perhaps too harsh, sighed and said, "Actually, even if I were to give Fu Lingzi to you, you might not want her."
"Why? Just because of the 'slave' character on her face?" Su Chen asked.
Aunt Hong's face changed, and she asked, surprised, "You, how do you know!"
The 'slave' character on Fu Lingzi's face,
that was a secret.
Almost no one knew.
But unexpectedly, Su Chen knew.
Su Chen smiled and said, "To be honest, Aunt Hong, I just want to know her story, that's all."
Indeed, when Su Chen learned that a hideous 'slave' character was tattooed on Fu Lingzi's face,
he became particularly eager to know about her past.
What exactly did Fu Lingzi experience,
that made her carve such a character on her own face?
Aunt Hong's face softened a bit.
She let out a long sigh and said, "Su Chen, your request isn't excessive, but I can't tell you; it's Fu Lingzi's matter. If you really want to know, you can ask her."
"I've already asked her, but she doesn't want to tell me." Su Chen shook his head.
"If she doesn't want to tell you, why ask her?"
"I want to help her recover." Su Chen said.
"Recover? You can restore her face? As far as I know, the only way for Fu Lingzi to recover is by using the terrifying Great Angel." Aunt Hong, being an Angel,
naturally knew of the existence of the terrifying Great Angel.
Not to mention the significant side effects of the terrifying Great Angel,
Fu Lingzi herself, doesn't want to restore her face.
If she wanted to,
why would she carve such a hideous character on her own face?
"I can restore her, and I don't need the terrifying Great Angel, but, Aunt Hong, you also know that the character is one she carved herself. If she willingly wants to be a slave, no one can save her." Su Chen said.
"Alas..." Recalling the past, Aunt Hong's expression turned sorrowful.
Fu Lingzi's past...
Aunt Hong remained silent for a few minutes.
Finally, she spoke, "I can tell you about Fu Lingzi's past, but whether she accepts your help depends on you."
"I was in..." Aunt Hong began to tell the story softly.
After hearing Fu Lingzi's story,
Su Chen was utterly shocked.
Originally, Fu Lingzi was a young lady of a prominent family.
Unfortunately, she fell in love with a poor boy.
In Huaxia, there's always an emphasis on being well-matched in status.
So, her family was strongly opposed to her being with that poor boy.
However, Fu Lingzi, disregarding her family's opposition,
chose to be with the poor boy.
She believed that as long as it was true love, it wouldn't be defeated by money.
But she was wrong.
So wrong, it was absurd.
Her family had too much power.
They easily made the poor boy disappear completely.
Not just from her side,
but from this world!
Fu Lingzi was heartbroken.
The family even arranged a marriage for her,
with a young, promising gentleman.
One would have thought Fu Lingzi would refuse,
but unexpectedly, she agreed.
However, at the wedding, when her veil was lifted,
the 'slave' character on her face,
was so glaring,
so ironic.
"Why?" everyone was puzzled.
Why would Fu Lingzi want to ruin her extraordinarily beautiful face?
Fu Lingzi's answer was simple.
"Because I am just a slave."
Yes, a person enslaved by money.
In fact, her boyfriend didn't have to die.
The family had actually hinted to her long ago,
that if she continued to choose him,
unfortunate consequences would occur.
But she didn't listen.
It was because she didn't heed the warning,
that her boyfriend lost his life.
The gentleman she married was a prominent figure too.
How could he marry a woman with a character branded on her face?
And a 'slave' character at that.
Naturally, the wedding couldn't proceed.
And Fu Lingzi was directly cast out from her family.
But she wasn't saddened.
Because her heart was already dead.
Then she met Aunt Hong.
Aunt Hong gave her a new reason to live.
Unfortunately.
Her face could never recover.
Nor did she want it to recover.
"So that's how it is..." Listening to Fu Lingzi's story,
Su Chen sighed deeply in his heart.
