After the Down-and-Out Heiress of Harbor City Gets Clingy [The Nineties]

After Lian Fei died, she returned to 1990. At twenty-five, she was still an illegal immigrant who had slipped into Hong Kong City and could only hide from place to place.

In her previous life, she had done countless wicked things and died young. Given another chance, she stepped on the hoodlum lying on the ground and decided to do more good deeds and build up some good karma.

She never expected to hear cries for help coming from the mouth of the alley the moment she turned around. From the sound of it, there were quite a few people involved.

Forget good karma. She could build it up tomorrow.

The next second, just as Lian Fei was about to leave without hesitation, a soft body suddenly appeared in her arms.

The woman in her arms rose onto her toes and kissed her without warning.

"Help me hide for a while. I'll pay you afterward."

The woman's voice was soft and intoxicating.

The alley was narrow, and their bodies were pressed close, their breaths entwined. More than ten minutes later, the gangsters who had been chasing her left, and Lian Fei was finally released.

Lian Fei lowered her eyes to look over the disheveled woman and narrowed them, her tone teasing.

"The eldest daughter of the bankrupt Ming family. What kind of payment can you still offer me?"

The Hong Kong papers had been full of the news. The Ming family had gone bankrupt overnight, and with no way out, Mr. Ming planned to hand over his own daughter to settle his debts.

The eldest Miss Ming had grown up in luxury. Her figure was graceful and her beauty bewitching. Countless people coveted her looks.

Ming Shuxue slowly raised her eyes, her gaze rippling like water and captivating the heart.

She gripped Lian Fei's wrist and pressed it against her chest, then leaned forward and brushed her red lips against the corner of Lian Fei's mouth as she whispered:

"Isn't handing myself over to you enough?"

The rich fragrance of a woman filled Lian Fei's nose, and her heartbeat lost its rhythm.

Dazed for a moment, she pulled the soft, warm beauty close and kissed her back.

As it turned out, there was no romantic fling. After taking Ming Shuxue in, Lian Fei felt she had taken on a whole load of trouble she could never shake off.

The eldest daughter was dazzlingly beautiful, delicate and unable to endure hardship, and she loved sticking to Lian Fei day and night.

She was spoiled and prone to making a fuss. If Lian Fei spoke just a little too harshly, she'd call her a bastard.

Hounded by her, Lian Fei was at her wits' end. She delivered goods by boat during the day and worked security at a nightclub at night. When she got home, she still had to let the tearful young lady give her a physical examination.

The examination ended with them pressed together on a narrow single bed. The next day, while making deliveries, Lian Fei was teased by her fellow workers about the two new, vicious-looking bite marks on her shoulder.

Lian Fei spent half the money she earned pampering the young lady, sending her to auditions and helping her get onto the big screen.

The charming, sidelong smile Ming Shuxue gave in her first film became an iconic moment throughout Hong Kong City and the mainland. Ming Shuxue became a star adored by everyone.

With her career taking off, Ming Shuxue no longer needed Lian Fei's protection.

Lian Fei decided she had outlived her usefulness, divided her assets in half, and told Ming Shuxue to leave.

Later, in the tallest office building in Hong Kong City, Ming Shuxue was pinned to the bed in the lounge, her shoulders and chest covered in vivid red kiss marks.

Her lipstick was smudged. She traced circles lightly over Lian Fei's chest with her slender fingers and spoke in a soft, sultry voice:

"You were so determined to drive me away back then."

"So what exactly is Director Lian doing now?"
