"Then you tell me?"
Xiao Xiao: "..."
"Xiao Xiao, do you have something on Huang De Han?"
"No!" Xiao Xiao dared not admit it and quickly denied.
Li Man stared at Xiao Xiao intently. "You're lying!"
"No, really, I don't."
Xiao Xiao hurriedly denied it, but she didn't expect that the more she denied, the less Li Man believed her.
"If you won't tell me, then I'll go ask him."
After Li Man finished speaking, she turned to leave. Xiao Xiao quickly grabbed her and pleaded, "Don't go find him, I'm begging you."
As she spoke, a layer of mist immediately appeared in her watery eyes.
Seeing Xiao Xiao like this, Li Man felt a pang of pain and guilt. "I'm sorry, it's my fault for getting you involved."
Xiao Xiao shook her head. "It's not your fault. It's my own greed. If I didn't pay attention to him, none of this would have happened."
"Tell me, by doing this, you're only fueling his arrogance. He'll only make more and more demands of you." Li Man earnestly advised.
Xiao Xiao sat back in her chair, lowered her head, and tears streamed down.
Huang De Han's demands on her were indeed increasing. After accompanying General Liu, Huang De Han made her accompany other clients without paying her. She really didn't know what to do now and when Huang De Han would finally let her go.
She was truly afraid.
She didn't dare to tell anyone. These past few days, she had been on the verge of depression.
Li Man pulled up a chair and sat next to Xiao Xiao, gently patting her back.
After crying for a while, Xiao Xiao finally calmed down. She wiped away her tears and told Li Man about everything Huang De Han had done to her, including the incident with the nude photos.
Li Man was shocked and angry after hearing it. She never expected Huang De Han to stoop so low.
"Why don't you go to the police? By doing this, he will only become more audacious!" Li Man trembled with anger.
"I can't go to the police!" Xiao Xiao quickly said, tears falling again. "If I go to the police, everything I've done will be known by others. I don't want people to know that I've done such things. I haven't graduated yet, if the school finds out, I'm finished!"
Li Man furrowed her brows. "If you don't go to the police, Huang De Han will control you for the rest of your life."
"Let me graduate first, then we'll see. I really don't want people to know right now." Xiao Xiao said painfully.
Li Man felt uneasy. Xiao Xiao refused to go to the police, but she didn't want to let Huang De Han off the hook either.
"You have to be careful of Huang De Han. Now that he knows you've infected him with a venereal disease, he won't let you go." Xiao Xiao looked at Li Man, worriedly.
Li Man had been in the hospital these past few days and rarely went home. When she did go home, Huang De Han was never there.
It was strange. Li Man hadn't been home for a few days and hadn't received any phone calls from Huang De Han. She didn't know what malicious plan he was brewing against her.
At night, Li Man asked Tan Xi Yuan to take care of An Xin and went home for a while.
Li Man waited until half past midnight before seeing Huang De Han return.
Huang De Han opened the door and saw Li Man. A trace of resentment welled up in his eyes. He took a deep breath, suppressing the imminent anger.
"Where have you been these past few days? Why didn't you come home?" Huang De Han's voice was calm, devoid of any hint of anger.
Li Man was somewhat surprised. She thought that Huang De Han would be furious upon seeing her and would engage in a heated argument. She had prepared herself for a fight, but she didn't expect Huang De Han to be so composed.
Was this the calm before the storm?
