章節 217: Chapter 217: Generosity

Xi Ping's stomach turned, but she forced herself to remain calm.

"I see. And what happens if I refuse?"

Her foster father's smile faltered.

"Xi Ping, be reasonable. This is for all of our benefit. The base isn't kind to people who refuse its generosity."

Her foster father slammed his hand on the table, his temper flaring.

"Watch your mouth, girl! Do you have any idea how much we've sacrificed for you? You owe us!"

Xi Ping's composure cracked, her anger bubbling to the surface.

"I owe you? I've risked my life every day to meet those insane quotas while you sit here and plot to sell me off like cattle!
