Xiao An's savings were quickly squandered by Liu Lan. Xiao An had no choice but to take on multiple jobs to make ends meet. Due to excessive fatigue, Xiao An was hospitalized with a gastric hemorrhage.
During the hospital stay, Xiao An called me using a friend's phone. "Xiao Yun, today is your birthday. Happy birthday," he said. I scoffed, "Xiao An, my birthday is in February. Did you get it wrong?"
Xiao An's voice choked with emotion. "Xiao Yun, I'm begging you, will you come back?"
"I’m begging you..." I coldly hung up the phone.
The engagement banquet for me and the Eldest Son of the Chen Family proceeded as scheduled. I had no idea how Xiao An managed to get an invitation; he blended into the crowd and arrived at the engagement banquet.
Wearing a white train gown for the engagement, I noticed Xiao An watching me with a sorrowful expression. Holding a glass of champagne, he approached me, his eyes red. "Xiao Yun, today is my birthday."
"I bought you a ring; why aren’t you wearing it?"
I looked at him coldly. "I threw it away."
Xiao An swayed slightly, his face pale as he gazed at me. "Xiao Yun, you weren't like this before."
"You used to be kind-hearted; you would feed stray cats and dogs."
"Why have you become so cold and heartless now?"
I stared coldly at Xiao An. "Xiao An, you weren't like this either."
"You used to be upright, with your own principles and boundaries."
"But look at you now, what have you become?"
Xiao An looked at me with a pale face, unable to say a word.
At that moment, a frantic woman burst in, grabbing Xiao An's arm. "Xiao An, you liar! You deceived me! Zhou Yun doesn't have a house! You need to buy me a house! Buy me a house!"
Xiao An shook Liu Lan's hand off. "Get away!"
Liu Lan grabbed me again. "Zhou Yun, you fraud! How could you trick me? I'll kill you!"
As she spoke, she pulled out a dagger and lunged at me.
The bodyguards rushed over, forcing Liu Lan and Xiao An out.
Xiao An turned back to look at me, his eyes filled with sadness and reluctance. He knew this was the last time he would see me.
As for me, I didn't even turn my head. I was waiting for Chen Ming.
Chen Ming is the Eldest Son of the Chen Family, my fiancé. Unlike Xiao An's romantic notions, I am very pragmatic. I know that for me, happiness is far less important than money.
Chen Ming is the heir to everything in the Chen Family. He is handsome, fit, and a top student from a prestigious university. Most importantly, he can secure a billion in funding for my family. Just this alone puts him streets ahead of Xiao An.
Marrying Chen Ming is a win-win situation for me.
As Chen Ming approached, I smiled at him and said, "Are you satisfied with my performance just now?"
Chen Ming wrapped his arms around my waist and said, "I'm satisfied, especially with your remark about being cold-blooded and heartless. It was truly excellent."
I smiled and replied, "That was the truth."
Chen Ming looked at me and said, "Zhou Yun, sometimes I wonder, since you hate Xiao An so much now, will you hate me like that in the future?"
I met his gaze and asked, "Will you treat me like Xiao An does, ignoring me completely?"
Chen Ming shook his head.
I smiled again and said, "Then I won't hate you."
Chen Ming raised an eyebrow and teased, "Zhou Yun, the way you say that makes it sound like you really love Xiao An."
I blinked innocently and replied, "When did I ever say I loved Xiao An?"
Chen Ming feigned a serious expression and said, "When you initially said you wanted to marry me, you didn't mention it was for financing."
I playfully asked him, "So if I said I loved you, would you believe me?"
Chen Ming tightened his grip around my waist possessively and declared, "I don't care; just know that you're not allowed to regret it."
