Wang Ting was waiting for me by the roadside.
After I got into the car, she scolded me while driving, "You should have slapped Jiang Yu hard just now!"
"When we were together, he never treated me like that. Just because we broke up, he thinks he can act this way?"
I paused and remained silent.
Wang Ting pouted, "Well, it doesn't matter now. You and he are both past that; you won't see each other again."
"But if you need money, remember to let me know."
I nodded, "Okay."

After the wedding, I went to Wang Ting's house.
Just as I finished taking a shower, I received a call from Jiang Yu's childhood friend, Hu Yao.
"Su Mei, are you in some kind of trouble?"
"If you need money, my buddies and I can help you."
"Yu Ge is with Yu Tian now; they're about to get married..."
I interrupted him, "Thank you, but that's not necessary."
"I won't bother Jiang Yu again."
There was a long silence on the other end before he hung up.
I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
Many memories flashed through my mind.
I had been with Jiang Yu for ten years, from middle school to university. We were almost inseparable.
Back in middle school, he sprained his ankle while playing basketball and was too afraid to tell his family for fear of worrying them.
I took him to the hospital and cared for him for quite a long time.
Although Jiang Yu's family wasn't well-off, he was the cherished one at home and had never really suffered any hardships. His parents were often away and rarely came home.
After I got together with Jiang Yu, I took care of him and kept him company. When I fell ill, Jiang Yu stayed up all night to look after me. We could eat together and have fun together. Now, as long as Jiang Yu is happy, I can rest easy. I closed my eyes, forcing myself not to think too much.
A few days later, I started looking for a job and returned from Fengcheng to Nanbin. I needed to settle down quickly. My right hand had been severely injured before, causing nerve damage and motor function impairment. I applied to many companies, but none wanted me. In the end, I could only take a miscellaneous job at one company.
I didn't feel discouraged and began to get busy. However, I didn't expect that this company was also under Jiang Yu's umbrella. Jiang Yu promoted me and asked me to move into his office. I refused.
He looked at me coldly and said, "Either accept it or resign; it's your choice."
"Su Mei, aren't you short on money? Isn't everything about money?"
"I'll pay you; you work for me, and we both get what we need."
I gritted my teeth and replied, "But I don't want to be your secretary."
"Then you can resign."
I fell silent. I needed this job. Taking a deep breath, I said, "Fine, I'll accept."
Thus, I became Jiang Yu's secretary. I accompanied him to social events and dealt with clients. That night, I got drunk. When I woke up, it was still dark outside. I found myself lying on an unfamiliar bed, wearing a bathrobe. Startled, I quickly got up.
Jiang Yu emerged from the bathroom, wearing a bathrobe just like mine.
Seeing that I was awake, he smiled and said, "Good morning."
I widened my eyes in disbelief as I looked at him.
"We..."
Jiang Yu raised an eyebrow. "Last night, you were the one who took the initiative."
"Impossible!" I retorted loudly. "How could I do something like that!"
Jiang Yu shrugged. "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."
"But you were indeed very enthusiastic yesterday."
"Su Mei, we've been broken up for so long. You still can't forget me; do you still have lingering feelings for me?"
I gritted my teeth. "You're talking nonsense!"
Jiang Yu chuckled but remained silent as he pulled out a contract.
"Su Mei, let's sign a contract."
"What kind of contract?"
"You'll be my lover, and I'll pay you two hundred thousand each month."
I stared at him in disbelief.
"Jiang Yu, are you crazy?"
Jiang Yu looked at me expressionlessly. "I'm not crazy."
"Su Mei, we can meet each other's needs; what's the problem?"
"I don't want your money!" I shouted angrily at him.
But Jiang Yu took out his phone and showed me pictures on it.
"If you don't agree, I'll make these photos public."
"Su Mei, you wouldn't want your reputation ruined, would you?"
I looked at the photos, my body trembling slightly.
