On the day of the engagement banquet, I wore a couture dress chosen for me by Mother Gu.
The radiant and luxurious image in the mirror was something I had never dared to dream of.
Gu Anqi is also wearing a handsome suit, and there is a light in my eyes, completely unlike the easily angered man described by others.
"Hello, my fiancée, you look so beautiful today."
"You are very handsome too, my fiancé."
the Gu family Only invited a few relatives and some business partners according to my wishes.
The villa has been decorated from top to bottom, even the bathroom trash can has been changed to red.
Although the ceremony was simple, it was by no means perfunctory, showing that the the Gu family has fully accepted me.
In the previous life, I was invited by Liu Lili to the the Gu family villa with Liu Youcai and Wang Xiuhua. I timidly looked at everything in front of me, wearing shabby clothes.
["Oh, I heard you're Lily's sister. Why do you two look so different?"]
Several the Gu family lackeys surrounded me, I knew this was "special care" prepared for me by Liu Lili.
[You don't know, she's an orphan, adopted, parents died early, like a wild child, that's why she's so shabby.]
"I'm telling you, just looking at it makes me not want to be here. This kind of place isn't for just anyone to come to. If you're poor, then don't come and embarrass yourself. Really, I feel like the air here is all polluted."
"In my past life, I was weak and insecure, tightly holding a glass of red wine in my hand, unable to say a word."
At that time, I naively believed that as long as Liu Lili married Gu Anqi, my life would also improve. So I tried my best to endure everything related to Liu Lili and everything related to the Gu family.
At that engagement banquet, I was humiliated by them for half an hour, and I didn't dare to say a word.
In this life, I have seen those few sisters again.
"Wow, sister, you are so beautiful, like a star."
"I heard that you got into Jiang University for further studies, you are simply a study genius, I admire you so much."
"Yes, sister, let's exchange WeChat and create a group, so we can go out for afternoon tea together when we have time."
I truly detest the hypocrisy of these people from the bottom of my heart. No wonder Gu Anqi used to go crazy during social events.
Before I could say anything, Wang's mother hurriedly came over and said, "Liu Lili brought a man with her."
Suddenly, an idea popped into my head: since you've taken the initiative to come to me, let's have a dog-eat-dog show.

I took Liu Lili's hand and led them to the center of the hall.
Before she could react, I immediately spoke up: "Everyone, please quiet down." All the guests turned to look.
"This is the daughter of my foster parents. Her father, Liu Youcai, just got into trouble and went in a few days ago. Her mother also ran away with someone else. She hasn't received her diploma and can't find a job. The person next to her is her husband, who just got laid off and can't find a job. If anyone in the company has a good job, please consider them. I thank you on her behalf."
Liu Lili glared at me fiercely, and I noticed that there was still mud on her shoes, so I guessed that the two of them had just come on an electric bike.
I imitated her appearance and ruthlessly dug my nails into her flesh.
How does it feel? Very painful, right?
You must feel hurt when you are bullied.
[Thank you for giving me the opportunity to appear this time. I graduated from Jiangda University with a master's degree and have worked for a period of time in a major internet company, proficient in programming. If who boss can appreciate me, I can report for duty tomorrow.]
As expected, Lingxiao introduced himself in great detail, almost to the point of giving his home address.
Liu Lili was dumbfounded and whispered, "What are you doing? Isn't this embarrassing?"
"I rely on my own abilities to make a living. What does it have to do with you? Besides, it's not like you have any income. You don't even have a diploma and can't find a job. Are we supposed to stay at home and do nothing every day?"
Lingxiao raised his voice, and everyone started whispering and treating them as a joke.
"Hey, you're XiaZhi's sister, right? Why do you look so old-fashioned?"
"Yeah, what are you wearing? Did you just come here on an electric bike or something?"
"Just, there's still a sour smell on me, I'm going to vomit, the air is polluted."
Liu Lili Listening to these familiar words instantly drove her crazy: "You bitches, have you forgotten how you used to please me before? I bought so many gifts for you, treated you to afternoon tea so many times, and you dare to say this to me!"
"What? You're inviting me for afternoon tea? Dream on. How could I possibly have afternoon tea with a poor loser like you?"
"Seriously, ugly people with a nasty mouth. If there's no mirror at home, at least there's a toilet. Take a look at yourself first."
"Really, I feel like I'm lowering myself by talking to someone like you."
Liu Lili became increasingly angry, her face contorted, and she picked up the red wine on the table and splashed it towards the three people.
These three people are not to be trifled with, and immediately fought back and started wrestling with each other.
Four women fought until three security guards finally managed to pull them apart.
These three people all come from influential backgrounds. One of them threatened on the spot: "Your name is Ling Xiaodun, right? I'll remember that. I will tell my dad and every friend in the internet industry to blacklist you from this industry!" Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaodun immediately slapped Liu Lili.
The voice is clear and resonates throughout the venue.
In a past life, I was deducted attendance points for taking sick leave due to a fever. When I returned home, Lingxiao pointed at me and scolded me, then threw the meal at me.
"You are so useless. Our family relies on your meager salary to survive, and we still have to pay the mortgage and car loan. If you don't get the full attendance bonus of a few thousand, then it's gone. Why don't you just go and die!"
That day, Lingxiao angrily flipped the table and kept saying how well Liu Lili is living, constantly blaming me. He even said that if I had been willing to help him get a job at Gu's company back then, our lives would have been so much better."
I cried while cleaning up the food on the floor.
It was also the day when I asked for a divorce from him.
Later, I drove alone to go out and relax, but I encountered Liu Lili and after a fierce impact, I returned to Liu Family.
Lingxiao said it would have been good if he had married Liu Lili back then, and Liu Lili said it would have been good if she had married Lingxiao back then.
Now god has opened its eyes and fulfilled the wishes of the two. But they are facing the challenges of unemployment and domestic violence soon after getting married.
This kind of love is truly extraordinary.
Liu Lili was slapped by Lingxiao and went completely berserk, causing chaos in the the Gu family villa, smashing everything in sight, revealing her deep-rooted bad nature.
Several men couldn't stop her, and Ling Xiao was so angry on the side, saying, "Divorce! Divorce!"
It was the the Gu family who finally called the police to end this farce.
And I stood in a high position, raised my glass, and watched the drama with Gu Anqi.
["The first time I saw you, I felt familiar, as if I had seen you somewhere before."]
"Oh? Is it in a dream?"
"Yes, it's in a dream. In the dream, I didn't marry you, but married Liu Lili. Life was terrible, I was manipulated and cheated on, and ended up with a reputation as a scumbag."
"Oh... dreams are all backwards. As long as you're willing to believe, dreams can also be reality, and the present can be treated as a dream."
"That dream was too terrible, I'd rather be with you like this forever."
【How have you been?】
【Liu Lili, I've started to like you.】
【Huh?】

After the engagement banquet farce, the the Gu family seems somewhat displeased with me.
Adding Gu Anqi's sudden confession made me feel a bit awkward. After all, in my previous life, he was my sister's husband. I haven't moved on from the failed relationship in my previous life, so I moved out of the Gu family.
I moved out, citing the reason that I had a task as a mentor.
Before leaving, Gu Anqi held my hand and repeatedly asked, "What did I do wrong? Why don't you like me?" Despite my repeated explanations, he kept asking the same question.
This science and engineering student is really stubborn.
Fortunately, the dormitory can be checked in early. In order to leave a good impression on my roommates and advisor, I cleaned the dormitory and office from top to bottom.
The children of poor families have no big trees to rely on, so they can only do everything to the best of their ability and rely on themselves.
That day, I had just finished tidying up my dormitory when I ran into Liu Lili downstairs.
" I heard you moved out of the Gu family, what happened, did you get kicked out?"
"You're so bored, why don't you find someone in your class?"
"I'm telling you, I will never let you off the hook."
I sighed deeply, feeling a bit more pity for her.
I haven't seen her for a few days, and she has lost a lot of weight. She looks very weak and unwell, even trembling when walking.
Although I hate her to the core, seeing her like this still makes me feel a little uncomfortable.
【Do you think I'm a failure?】
【Yes, of course!】
My definite answer instantly broke through her defenses.
[Why! Why, even though I've been reborn, why is it still so miserable! It's all your fault, all your fault!]
【Injury? Who was the one who pushed me into the Gu family in the first place, and who was the one rushing to marry Lingxiao?】
【Don't mention that jerk! It's all your fault, for not telling me he's a jerk, it's all your fault!】
I smiled helplessly.
No, if you're reborn, at least you should Use your brain!

It's almost time for school to start, and there are more and more people on campus every day. Since I have nothing to do, I signed up to be a volunteer to help with the new student orientation.
"Excuse me, how do I get to the male graduate student dormitory?"
Gu Anqi was dressed in a designer suit, with his hair styled with mousse, looking like a tycoon who could buy the entire school.
"Are you joking?"
"I'm not joking. I want to live in the dorm, I want to work, I want to earn my own money, and achieve true independence."
I watched as Wang Ma and the driver carried the luggage behind me, while Gu Anqi had nothing in her hands except for a cup of Starbucks.
["Is this what you call independence?"]
【Hmm... I'm still in the adaptation and learning stage.】
With a glance, Gu Anqi took the luggage from both of them.
The dorm is on the top floor, no elevator, shared bathroom, four-person room, bunk beds with desks underneath.
Each one challenges Gu Anqi's bottom line for survival.
【What, regretting it now? Didn't you just say you wanted to be truly independent?】
【No, I'm still trying to adapt.】
"You said you're doing well, young master, why are you suffering here? Are you forcing yourself to endure hardship?"
"I want to do scientific research, but my dad won't allow it. I have to find a way to be independent, and living at school allows me to be closer to you."
"Okay, do you still remember the previous promise?"
"Of course I remember, tell me what you want."
I made an appointment to meet Liu Lili and Gu Anqi.
Liu Lili of course refused.
I said as long as you can come, I will transfer ten thousand to you.
Although she greeted my whole family, she still arrived on time for the appointment.
Gu Anqi When I went to pay the bill, I told her in detail about my daily life with Gu Anqi and our future plans. I explained it meticulously, just like presenting a scientific experiment report to someone.
【Is this it?】
【Yes, that's it.】
"Impossible, do you think you can win me over with just your body or your face?"
But Gu Anqi's gentle gaze gradually broke down her defenses, until Gu Anqi finally said, "I really love her."
Liu Lili Completely broke through the defense.
She yelled in anger, perfectly fitting the textbook definition of a super masculine trait.
"Impossible! An XiaZhi, it's been two lifetimes, why do I always lose to you!"
18
In the previous life, Liu Lili's married life was not happy, to the extent that she even suffered from moderate depression, which is why she resorted to causing that car accident.
In this life, she carries resentment and unjustly blames me for everything. Because of her adoptive parents, I have always been accommodating to her, serving as her punching bag for over twenty years.
Growing up in such an environment, I lost my dignity and ability to resist long ago.
This rebirth, I thank god for giving me a chance to live again.
I am self-respecting and self-loving, hardworking and kind, always considering the future in everything I do, constantly striving to improve, and not seeing others' gains as my own losses.
I also successfully utilized the "buff" of past life memories to gain many opportunities for myself.
I have said that no matter how many times I am reborn, she is not my opponent.
This statement is not bragging.
【Lily, I'm not looking for you today to borrow Gu Anqi to prove anything, but to tell you that god has given us each a chance to start over. You didn't seize it, and can't blame anyone.】
【Are you trying to redeem me or something? This time won't work, I can continue to restart until I win against you.】
I sighed heavily and didn't want to say anything more.
Before parting, I took out a piece of milk candy from my pocket and handed it to her: "Do you still remember the first day I came to your house, I was scared and cried a lot by Liu Youcai, he locked me in the wardrobe and didn't give me any food. It was you who came to see me secretly at night and handed me a piece of milk candy."
Liu Lili took the candy and lowered her head, saying nothing.
"I will always remember this taste."
"You can continue to hate me, but I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore. I want to live the rest of my life in ease and freedom, without any hatred."
After I and Gu Anqi got on the car, I looked through the window and saw Liu Lili standing blankly on the road.
The traffic flowed past her as she continuously wiped her cheeks with her hands.
But now she regrets, is it too late?
After the start of the school year, the short paper I co-wrote with Gu Anqi was successfully published in a core journal.
We have also become the "exam paper king" couple in the teaching and research office.
Father Gu and Mother Gu also occasionally come to the school to see us, take us out to eat and go shopping.
Gu Anqi On the surface, he says he wants to be independent and not spend a penny of his family's money, but when top-notch cuisine is served to him, he just can't help but enjoy it. I always remind him, and he always says he's trying to change.
That day he handed me a letter, inside of which was the authorization letter for my patent, with the Gu Group as the first party.
【This is what my dad asked me to give to you, and he even said he wants to give you 5% of the shares as a Dowry.】
"What, what dowry? What nonsense," My face turned red instantly to my ears.
"Ah, the engagement banquet was so long ago, the wedding should have been scheduled by now."
"Weren't you the one who used to hate marriage the most?"
"Who said that! I didn't, I'm just afraid that you'll run away..."
"Tsk~ Silly little one."
I looked at the sky-high price quoted by Father Gu and trembled as I counted the zeros before the decimal point several times with shaking hands.
[Anqi, so much money...]
"Do you know how amazing I am now? With such an outstanding fiancée, can I not be anxious?"
I took out a pen and signed immediately, my hand trembling.
Hesitating for even a second is a lack of respect for money!
Even though I have money, I still work part-time. It's better to stay busy than to be idle. Who would have trouble getting along with money?
A new colleague joined the company that day, and it turned out to be my ex-husband from a past life, Ling Xiao Dun.
His job is customer service and fixing program bugs. He is a master's graduate from Jiangda Computer Science. Due to his ex-wife offending a powerful figure, he was blacklisted in the industry and can now only do part-time or manual labor.
Fortunately, the workstation is far away, so to avoid embarrassment, I didn't go up to say hello.
I saw that he was covered in oil and his hair was shiny. He was also wearing a Meituan work uniform under his jacket. It seems that his life is extraordinarily difficult.
He finally experienced the suffocating feeling of being oppressed by life, and that is the best revenge I could have on him.
But it's not bad, at least better than living off someone else.

On the day of my graduation as a postgraduate student, Gu Anqi proposed to me in front of the whole school.
His gaze remained gentle and determined, and of course, I agreed to him. The news of "The wealthiest man in Jiangzhou's son is about to get married" spread throughout Jiangzhou.
Two days later, as I was moving to the dormitory, I received a message from Wang Xiuhua, Liu Lili's birth mother.
【Lili was in a car accident the day before yesterday and passed away last night. Please return home quickly.】
I know she must have seen the news about me and Gu Anqi getting married. Maybe she thinks that if she starts over, the outcome will be different.
But what's the point of seeking answers with the burden of the outcome? It will only repeatedly hurt the closest people.
So I hope this is just a coincidence.
Replied with a "condolences" and then turned off the phone.
Took out the last bag of milk candies from the cabinet and put one in the mouth.
"Do you want some candy? It's an old brand that has been discontinued, so once it's gone, you won't be able to find it anymore."
The moment my roommate snatched the candy away, the knot in my heart also dissipated.
When I was carrying my luggage downstairs, Gu Anqi was waiting for me downstairs.
[I'm starving, all I did today was physical work. Can I request an extra meat dish for lunch?]
"Should we have braised pork or braised chicken legs?"
"My dear wife, can I have both?"
"It's usually not allowed, but today is special, so I want to have a chicken leg too!"
"What day is it today?"
"Today is the third anniversary of when we met, and also the day I was reborn."
"Oh, like the rebirth in a novel, right?"
【Yes, it's a rebirth.】
【Then my wife must be holding the script for the female lead.】
"No, I don't want any female lead script."
At this moment, the campus broadcast plays Mayday's "Laugh Away."
This life’s aspiration is simply to be ordinary and happy; who says that isn’t great?
The evening glow spreads across my face, golden and brilliant, without holding back.
I only realized when I looked up that my face was already covered in tears.
I can't cry, there are countless chicken legs and braised pork waiting for me ahead.
Wipe away the tears and run forward.
And such beautiful days are just beginning!
[Finished]
