An Xiaoning shot Mei Yangyang a smile and said to the seller, “Sure, hand me their indentures and I’ll pay by card.”
An Xiaoning spent 5 million dollars in total to buy eight people.
They did not have household registers since all of them were orphans, with the exception of the two girls, who were sold by their father, who was a drug addict. They were all trained to work for money since a young age and abandoned once they grew older.
It must have been tough to live life that way.
A life with no freedom at all.
Not only were they put through all sorts of strenuous training since a tender age, they were subjected to an environment filled with danger lurking in every corner where personal safety was no longer guaranteed. Life was practically a living hell for them.
There were, in fact, plenty of people like them in this world.
However, they were just kept hidden from the public eye.
Occasionally, the media would report about a selected part of their lives and predicaments, keeping the rest hidden behind closed doors for there were some information which were deemed inappropriate for exposure to the public.
There were four rooms in An Xiaoning’s two-storey mansion.
There were two on the first storey and another two on the second.
Those on the upper storey were her bedroom and bathroom, while those on the lower storey consisted of the living room and the kitchen.
Though her house was neither spacious nor cramped, there was clearly not enough space to house all eight of the people she had bought.
Fortunately, there was also a basement.
Thus, the people An Xiaoning brought home could stay there temporarily.
There was also space in the backyard that could be converted into extra rooms and bathrooms.
However, it was already late at night, and thus, she could only wait until tomorrow to get a contractor to build the rooms.
Having decided to let them sleep in the basement for that night, she proceeded to buy some mattresses and blankets for them.

Shi Shaochuan had been abiding by their agreement and headed home straight after work every day. However, he decided to make an exception tonight, for he simply could not bring himself to turn down an invite to a gathering with his former classmates whom he had not met in a long time.
Thus, he gave Jin Qingyue a call to inform her about it and that he would be going home late.
Thinking that he deserved a night out given how well he had been behaving, Jin Qingyue decided to cut him some slack and agreed to let him go, though she emphasized that he was not to stay out too late since he still had to attend work the next morning.
Shi Shaochuan agreed and said that he would be going home early.
After wrapping up at work, he headed straight to meet his friends without even bothering to change out of his suit.
Unfortunately, as luck would have it, it happened to be the peak period where everyone was getting off work and school, resulting in extremely heavy traffic. The roads were packed with cars lined up one after another in a snake-like queue.
Shi Shaochuan began to grow impatient after being stuck in the massive jam for more than half an hour.
After weaving in and out of the traffic, he finally made it out of the jam. Just as he was about to reach the karaoke place, a woman dashed out into the road all of a sudden, causing him to instinctively step on the brakes. He had been getting the chills every time he got reminded of the traumatic experience with Wang Fangfang.
