If it weren't for him, I might never have made so much money in my lifetime. I wouldn't be able to live in a big villa either. He has treated me so well, and I have repaid him by learning everything I could. When he is not by my side, I can still take good care of myself. But he only sees me as a substitute. Thinking of this, my heart feels a pang of bitterness.
At that moment, the bathroom door opened. Liang Jiacheng walked out. He glanced at me, his brows slightly furrowed. "You're awake?"
"Yeah," I replied softly.
"Are you that eager?" Liang Jiacheng walked over, looking down at me. "Qu Man, can't you live without a man?"
I scoffed, "What, you saved me yesterday and now you want to yell at me today?"
"I saved you because you used to be my woman," Liang Jiacheng narrowed his eyes. "I don't want others to say that Liang Jiacheng's woman was treated badly."
I laughed, "Your woman? Are you sure about that?"
Liang Jiacheng was taken aback for a moment.
"Liang Jiacheng, don't forget that we have broken up," I said coldly, looking at him. "What right do you have to control me now?"
Liang Jiacheng's expression darkened. "Qu Man, you..."
I interrupted him and continued to sneer, "Liang Jiacheng, I'm grateful for your help, but that doesn't mean you can interfere in my life as you please."
"Do you know what you look like right now?" I mocked him. "You look like a man who has been dumped but still clings on desperately—it's really pathetic."
Liang Jiacheng glared at me, anger boiling in his eyes.
I met his gaze without fear.
Finally, he grabbed his coat and turned to leave. With a bang, the door slammed shut behind him.
My tears fell uncontrollably.
I covered my face and cried silently.
Why, why have I fallen to this point?
Once, I was a cherished little princess.
But now, I have become someone else's substitute, a plaything for others.
Why? Why!
I am unwilling to accept this; I truly cannot accept it!
I cried for a long time, and finally, I wiped my tears and stood up.
I walked to the window and looked outside.
The streets were bustling with cars and life.
Yet I felt like a tiny ant, so insignificant that I could be ignored.
But I refuse to sink into despair like this.
I will stand up; I will make all those who have hurt me pay the price!
I opened the door and stepped outside.
I ran to the hotel entrance and hailed a taxi.
"Miss, where to?" the driver asked me.
"Anywhere," I replied.
The driver paused for a moment before smiling and saying, "Miss, are you feeling down?"
I didn't answer.
Seeing that I remained silent, the driver didn't ask again and started the car.
I leaned back in the seat as tears surged out once more.
I thought about my life, about my family.
I thought about my father, and about Chen Yue.
I thought that I had completely cut ties with Liang Jiacheng. However, I never expected to encounter him again. That day, I received an invitation to a cocktail party and attended the event. To my surprise, I saw my dad, Chen Huaiyuan, there. Of course, Liang Jiacheng was also present. Both of them were like stars orbiting around Chen Yue. I knew they both adored Chen Yue, especially my dad, who spoiled her to the heavens. As for me, he didn't even want to spare me a glance.
