"What do you want?" I stared at him angrily.

"Nothing, I just want to cure you." He said seriously. I knew that was not what he really thought. When I was here last time, he was watching me for a very long time, I was afraid he could tell how many birthmarks on my body.

"I don’t want to be cured. Give me back the money!" That‘s what I said.

He looked at me in surprise. "Are you short of money?"

"It’s none of your business, just give it to me, or I‘ll mess with you." I threatened him with either a refund or a bitch swearing here.

He frowned and thought about it, and gave it back to me. With the money, I decided to go to the hospital.

"Wait a minute." He handed me a business card： "Next time you are short of money, come to me."

"No, we won‘t see each other again."

I didn‘t take his business card. I turned around and left the clinic and hurried to the hospital. I handed in my mother‘s medical expenses, but I knew that 2,000 yuan was just for a few days.

In the ward, I sat at the head of the bed and looked at my mother. My heart hurt, really. I didn’t come here for just a few days, but she was so thin like a ghost and her face looked terrible. If it went on like this, I was afraid she wouldn’t be able to do it.

She was my only relative in the world. If she left me, there was no meaning for me to live.

"Xiang, thank you." My mother took my hand, tears in her eyes.

She knew it wasn‘t easy for me, and she knew that if it hadn‘t been for her illness, I would have had a much better life.

However, I would not regard her as an encumbrance and gave up on her, because without her, there would be no me. I just wanted her to live well and stayed alive until the moment I had achievements. I wanted her to be proud of me.

My mother was a street worker. I grew up in the red－light district. I was used to seeing all kinds of men coming to my house. Every time they left, they would give my mother money.

I was young at that time. I didn‘t know what these people were doing in my house. I often heard sound from my mother‘s room. I was often chatted by others. I was no happy since I was a child.

In the first year of junior high school, my mother took me into the city. Having lived in the country for too long, everyone knew our background, and my mother didn‘t want anyone to dislike me.

After entering the city, she was no longer a street girl, but went to wash dishes, with a meagre income to support me.

All these years, sometimes I complained about her. When we quarreled, I scolded her being a street woman.

Until my mother fell ill and was lying in the hospital, pennilessly, I was crazy about money. I finally understood that we couldn’t choose our life until I was deceived by Sister Hong to do a naked stand－in. I understand her more and more, so I must try my best to cure her illness, no matter what it took.

"Mom, as long as you get better, it‘s worth the hard work." I jumped into her arms, chin on her shoulder. I was so greedy for her arms, because only at this time I felt noble, and only in her eyes I was like a normal person.

Back to the rental house, I have been waiting for Sister Hong’ call. But there was none. I had to call Lili, from whom I got the news of Sister Hong that she would go to Xinghai Sky to meet a distinguished person tomorrow night.

Xinghai Sky was the largest entertainment center in Jiang City, where there were a lot of special services that you couldn‘t imagine. To put it bluntly, as long as you had money, you could get everything you want there. A lot of rich people liked to go there for fun.

Sister Hong made an appointment there and brought a few good－looking girls. She must want to settle the business by making the distinguished people drunk in the gentle arms of the girls.

Therefore, I had to seize this opportunity. If I take good care of the distinguished people, I can make up for the mistakes and regain her trust.

The next morning, I brought a high－grade dress and a pair of high heels, with a glamorous makeup, coupled with my innocent little eyes, no man could escape the palm of my hand.

I remembered when Sister Hong used to joke with me that there were a lot of beautiful women in the world, and there were a lot of people with good shape and means, but no one could learn my seemingly innocent but demagogic eyes like a lamb’. Men were at my mercy.

If I go to brothel, I am definitely the number one! A lot of men would throw money on me.

I smiled at her with a smile joked, "Why don‘t you give me my contract, and I‘ll be the number one. If I make a lot of money, I’ll give you a mansion?”
