“So, you’ve been deceiving him.”

“I am not a heartless woman. Every man I’ve met promised to buy me out of this place, yet here I remain in Tianxiang Building. Imagine if I believed every promise, wouldn’t I be weeping in disappointment every day? Please see this clearly, sir.” Su Mei prostrated with decorum, no trace left of the seductive allure from earlier.

Yet, these words were like a knife twisting in their hearts. A courtesan is not heartless, but after being deceived repeatedly, it’s natural to become untrusting. Perhaps, in her eyes, Tu Tong was nothing more than another liar.

Hearing Su Mei’s words, Hua Ji lost control again with teary eyes. “But Tu is indeed planning to marry you!”

Su Mei sneered: “When men are smitten, there’s nothing they can’t utter. They pledge eternal love, only when the night of pleasure ends. We courtesans are only footnotes, people of your status might even find us despicable. Who would want to marry us then?”

Hua Ji felt like he had been punched in the gut. He wanted to retort, but the words were stuck in his throat. He knew, it wasn’t as Su Mei had described.

“So, you think he was deceiving you.” Tang Luo asked.

“The wise can discern. Sir Tu Tong has been my benefactor for several years, visiting Tianxiang Building daily. He had claimed he wanted to marry me. But I’ve waited year after year. How long do you think I should believe him?” Su Mei said with sarcasm, bitterness, and the faintest touch of satisfaction.

Perhaps in her mind, Tu Tong was indeed a deceiver.

As if to vent her frustrations, Su Mei said to Hua Ji: “Sir Tu is a formidable warrior. Is it really that challenging for a man of his wealth to buy my freedom?”

“Of course, I am aware that Sir Tu holds me dear, but that affection primarily stems from my physical appeal. But I am 25 years old now, no longer young. Perhaps three years ago, I truly believed he would come for me. But now, I dare not aim so high. He hasn’t visited Tianxiang Building in the past six months. Maybe he has forgotten me.
