Amanda was stunned and later laughed, “Sure, if you want to say it. Anyway, I have told you a story, now you tell me a story. Neither of us loses anything!"
"Housin Jiang killed my first love, my most beloved woman!" I was red-eyed and almost growled as I spoke the name, revealing a secret I had been reluctant to reveal.
“Three years ago, I have been with Grace for six years, and then we were about to be engaged. I worked in a company as a supervisor, and she was a ballet teacher in my sister’s school. Although we were not rich, we lived a happy life. Generally speaking, we had nothing to do with Housin Jiang, the rich second generation, but one day, Grace participated in ballet ball, and Housin had a crush on Grace, then nightmare begins."
I held my head, originally wanted to bury these things in the bottom of my heart, but, I now just wanted to vent the anguish completely! Amanda leaned to me, listening to me quietly.
"Housin later began to approach Grace, with roses, luxury cars, designer handbags, etc. I didn’t care too much because I knew Grace would not betray me. And sure Grace was not that kind of person, she had not accepted any of his gifts. However later, Housin’s veil of hypocrisy had been torn at last!"
"My sister unexpectedly had an accident. She was in Grace’s classroom to learn ballet, always wanted to be a great ballet dancer, but one day on her way to go to school, she had an accident. The driver who had not been caught by now ran away, so our well-off life suddenly collapsed. I took out the money for my engagement with Grace to cure my sister's legs, but it was like a drop of water in the ocean! I can only keep my sister's leg from getting worse these years, and I'll never get the money for a radical cure!"
"Fortunately, Grace was there to support me. After work in the day, she had to do several part-time jobs in the evening, so did I. I worked so hard, it seemed to be bright in the future. However, Housin found me, took out a suitcase of a million cash! That money was placed in front of me, he said, he just wanted to get Grace. As long as I can allow him to spend one night with Grace, I would have that money! It hurt me, it was truth, with the money, she wouldn't have to suffer for so many years!"
“To be honest, I'm tempted, but Grace has been with me for six years, so I decisively rejected him. He hit on me with that money, scolded me, and said the money was enough for our three cheap lives. I suddenly realized that at the time, my sister's legs may be an accident by him!"
Amanda was startled after hearing my words. Compared with my story, her story was much better. She had lived in a secure sociality, it was like a flower living in the greenhouse, never encountered sinister things. She patted her chest, said in surprise, “Why don't you call the police?"
"Call the police? Useless. Jiang family is rich and powerful, the police are on their side. Grace jumped down the building from the 26th floor because she couldn’t stand the insult!" I held my head in pain, really did not want to recall the scene.
"It was a big matter at that time, but the Jiang family still suppressed it. Housin's father personally came to me with the money, said he hoped to settle the matter privately with me. I did not agree. I just wanted to kill Housin that bastard, so I hid a knife in my cuff. I smashed to him as they entered the room. Unfortunately, their bodyguards controlled me after I hit him once, later, ironically, they called the police, the police caught me in the name of intentional crime, beat me day and night. I didn't feel pain, my heart died at the moment Grace jumped off a building."
"The court decided to sentence me severely. I bit Housin Jiang fiercely in court, a brother helped me. Then we reached an out-of-court settlement. I had no other way. If I went in prison, my sister's next life would be all over! On that day, Housin drove a sports car complacently, holding the beauty in front of me to show off, and said lowly people would end like this!"
