Revenge

Amanda instinctively took a step backwards. She had barely survived last night, and it disgusted her simply at the thought of his big fat hands and bloated belly.

Then, behind Mr. Hu came the President Liu who she had just met this morning. He was grinning broadly at Amanda and said in a hoarse voice: “Mi, come on, come over here.”

Mi?

Well, what’s that endearment about?

Amanda had seen faces like that a lot, and she was sure there was something President Liu wanted from her; was it to please Mr. Hu and spend another night with him again, or...

She did not duck, but went down the stairs and walked toward Mr. Liu and Mr. Hu.

"Mi, sorry about last; there was some misunderstanding between Mr. Hu and you; Mr. Hu is actually a really good guy; he is the age of your dad; and she was like an uncle to you, so...” Said President Liu incoherently.

Amanda was amused by his analogy, especially after last night; what kind of monster uncle would have tried such things with his niece? Amanda remained cold-faced and interrupted him: “President Liu, just cut the shit and tell me what’s it. It is getting late and I still have class.”

The tough attitude of Mia had now did surprise President Liu a lot; it was like she was another girl. President Liu had not other choice: “Mi. We had a deal last night before heading to the hotel; one night sleeping with Mr. Hu and twenty thousand dollars for you; I know your mother’s illness was now in need of a large amount of money; that’s why I help you in the first place. You can not blame Mr. Hu; besides he did do anything to you last night, did he?”

Mia sold herself to the society scum...for twenty thousand dollars? Everything made its sense to Amanda all at once. Twenty thousand dollars? Aaron Gu was such a noble and generous man compared with
