Sleeping With Men

Chen Lijuan struggled to free from her sister's firm hold but she couldn't. She glanced at the handsome stranger one last time and saw another man opening the door of his car for him. The man was putting on a noncrease black suit, tall and well built. Her wild guess would be that the man was the driver of the stranger.

The door of the luxurious car was closed and the man handed the magazine to the stranger after wiping it with a clean handkerchief. Probably told to do so by the stranger.

Mere looking at him, one could tell he was no ordinary person.

Chen Lijuan counted herself lucky that the man had not exerted all his fury on her. It would have been the death of her.

On the way home, Chen Lijuan could not stop panicking because she knew the punishment that day would be worse than others.

Seeing me standing with a man and knowing that we were supposed to be shopping...

*********

Getting home, Chen Hualing immediately pushed her sister inside the house and slammed the door behind them. Before Chen Lijuan could recover from the fall, Chen Hualing gave her a deafening slap on her cheek.

Chen Lijuan winced and subconsciously took a step backward while massaging her cheek. It felt like burning coal.

Tears rolled down her cheeks at the thought of the intense pain Chen Hualing was capable of inflicting on her.

"Lijuan!" Chen Hualing screamed, making her sister shiver in great fear. "Do you know how long I waited and searched for you? I searched every corner in that huge shopping mall and tired my fragile body out because of a useless, dumb, brainless head like you!"

"I...I am so sorry, Sister. I was wrong. I won't do it again, please forgive me." Chen Lijuan pleaded in tears.

"It's good you know you were wrong and deserve whatever pains I put you through. Now, tell me, is this your new style?"

"What style?"

"Making people think that we don't care for you by moving around with men. Coming back home and acting so innocent. You're so two-faced, fucking bitch!"

Chen Lijuan could not utter any words. Letting her tears flow freely was all she could do.

"No wonder you always stayed longer than the usual time when sent on errands, you whore."

"Please sister..."

"Be quiet!" Chen Hualing snapped.

"I see you don't want to live peacefully in this house. Always causing trouble for everyone and now the final point is for you to start sleeping around? Don't worry, you'll hear from mother and father soon."

Chen Lijuan could feel her heart wrecking at the harshness in her sister's voice.

"You just wait until mother and father return tomorrow and see what will happen to you!" Chen Hualing finalized in an angry yell, and watched in satisfaction as her sister trembled in overwhelming fear.
