“Why are you asking so many questions?” 

Lulu snapped impatiently, her tone was sharp.  

Zheng Wei guiltily averted her gaze and whispered, 

“I… I’m just curious. Can’t you tell me, Sister Lulu?”  

Lulu eyed her suspiciously and suddenly asked, “Did you agree to go out with Boss Ma?”  

“No.….. really, I didn’t. I’m just curious.”

Zheng Wei flatly denied it, but her voice lacked conviction. 

Even Chu Qiao didn’t believe her and couldn’t help but frown. 

Boss Ma had a particular preference for innocent-looking young women, which was exactly like Zheng Wei.  

However, Zheng Wei was hired as a pianist. Tang Yaozu had never required her to accompany clients or entertain guests. How had she gotten involved with Boss Ma?  

Recalling how diligently Zheng Wei had been showing up for work lately, arriving early every night and building close relationships with several hostesses, Chu Qiao understood. 

Zheng Wei appeared to have given in to the temptation of easy money and lost her determination.

Lulu let out a cold, mocking laugh. 

“Why are you asking so many questions if you don’t agree? I’ll tell you this: some money isn’t worth risking your life for. I suggest that you decline Boss Ma. Don’t forsake yourself!”

With that, she walked out, leaving Zheng Wei to herself.  

Zheng Wei’s face flushed with shame and fear, her eyes reddening. 

She looked at Chu Qiao tremblingly and whispered, “Sister Chu Qiao, what… what should I do?”  

“Did you really agree to go out with Boss Ma? How could you be so foolish?” 

Chu Qiao rebuked her, unable to hide her disappointment.

In reality, Zheng Wei’s nightly earnings were quite substantial, enough to cover her living expenses and tuition. 

Once she graduated from the music school, she would have a bright future ahead. 

And yet, she wanted to earn even more, unaware that some money simply wasn’t worth chasing.  

“I.….. I just wanted to make a bit more. My… My mother is sick… Sister Chu Qiao, what should I do?” 

Zheng Wei asked through tears.  

Chu Qiao frowned deeply. She wasn’t particularly keen on getting involved in this mess. She wasn’t sure how much truth there was to Zheng Wei’s story. From the start, she had sensed there was more to this girl than met the eye.  

“Tell Boss Ma right now that you’ve gotten your period.” 

Chu Qiao suggested.

Zheng Wei nodded obediently, her expression full of gratitude. 

“Thank you, Sister Chu Qiao. I.….. I’ll tell him right now.”  

“Go ahead. And don’t make such a foolish mistake again. You’re a college student with a bright future, why earn money through this way? Once you graduate from the music school, you can find a respectable job. Wouldn’t that be better?” 

Chu Qiao advised gently.  

“Mm.”  

Zheng Wei nodded and left the lounge. After that, Chu Qiao didn’t see her again, nor did she ask further. 

She had offered her advice, and what happened next was out of her hands.  

When her shift ended, Gu Ye came to pick her up. 

Chu Qiao had already informed Tang Yaozong of her decision to resign. Though he expressed regret, he didn’t press the matter, only saying he would hire a replacement as soon as possible. 

Additionally, Chu Qiao consented to play until Tang Yaozong found someone else.  

“I’ve told Boss Tang about resigning. I’ll stop once they find a replacement.”

After leaving the dance hall, Chu Qiao mentioned the incident to Gu Ye. 

A cold breeze swept by, sending a shiver through her. It was late October, and the evening wind carried a distinct chill.  

Gu Ye took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders before heading to the parking shed to get his bicycle. 

Chu Qiao tightened the jacket around herself and waited at the entrance. 

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, it flashed by too quickly, but the cheap perfume scent was unmistakably Lulu’s.  

A black Santana drove off, but Chu Qiao didn’t dwell on it, assuming Lulu had taken another client for the night.  

Gu Ye pedaled slowly, mindful of the cold, with Chu Qiao holding tightly to him for warmth. 

It was past eleven, and the streets were empty, the dim yellow streetlights casting a lonely, desolate glow.
