I was once a Rich Girl.
Suddenly, I found myself with nothing.
Creditors came knocking, my mother committed suicide, and I "went mad."
I severed ties with him.
As a result, I became an ungrateful and shameless bad woman.
My boyfriend returned in glory, seeking revenge and humiliation against me...
Yi Jun sat down beside me.
It had been five years since we last met, and he had changed a lot.
Once a man passes the age of twenty-five, time is no longer just a butcher's knife.
Instead, it becomes a shaping coat.
He was still handsome, but no longer youthful.
Tall and slender, he exuded a calm and noble aura.
Now, he was a rising star in the business world, a favored child of fortune, no longer the clean-cut boy in white clothes and black pants that I remembered.
I looked down at the grotesque scars on my wrist.
This body had long been riddled with wounds.
Classmates began to chatter about the past.
"I remember Yi Jun and Luo Lan were particularly close back then. What happened that they suddenly broke up?"
Yi Jun replied flatly, "It was her decision."
Everyone turned to look at me.
I raised my glass and took a sip of wine.
"Wow, who would have thought that back then Luo Lan was such a little rich girl, willing to give up a boyfriend like Yi Jun?"
"So, does that mean Luo Lan broke up with him because Yi Jun was poor?"
"What about later? What happened to the person Luo Lan ended up with?"
...
Yi Jun's girlfriend arrived.
She quickly sensed that something was off and smiled, asking, "What are you all talking about? It sounds lively!"
Yi Jun replied, "Nothing much, just reminiscing."
A woman pulled her hand and said, "We were saying that if Luo Lan hadn't let go back then, the one marrying your Yi Jun now would be her."
With that one sentence, all the classmates reveled in schadenfreude.
"Luo Lan, look at you, you missed out on a good man for nothing."
"That's why women shouldn't be too greedy; always looking at the higher mountain ends up costing them dearly."
"Mr. Yi, don't forget your old classmates when you become successful in the future!"
...
They deliberately used me as a stepping stone to curry favor with Yi Jun.
Yi Jun smiled and said, "It's all in the past now."
Jing Muhan raised her glass to me and said, "Miss Luo, let me toast you! Thank you for not clinging on back then; otherwise, I wouldn't have met such a great husband like Yi Jun now."
"By the way, we are having a wedding next month. You are welcome to come."
I silently covered the scar on my wrist and nodded numbly, "Congratulations."

The party ended.
I stood in the cold wind waiting for a taxi.
My best friend Xiaolin called.
I told her about the party, and she defended me.
"Who is that woman anyway? Why was she so arrogant towards you?"
"Haven't you seen her before? She's Yi Jun's girlfriend."
I smiled helplessly, "Yeah."
"What? Is Yi Jun blind? He actually abandoned you for such a woman?"
I looked up at the starry sky and let out a long sigh, "Xiaolin, Yi Jun isn't blind; I'm just not worthy of him."
"Not worthy? You, the daughter of the Luo Group, not worthy of him?"
"It's all in the past."
...
I hung up the phone.
A black Cayenne stopped in front of me.
The window rolled down, and Yi Jun's girlfriend waved at me, "Miss Luo!"
I politely smiled at her.
Her right hand rested casually on the car window, and the jade bracelet on her wrist was particularly eye-catching.
The car door opened, and Yi Jun came to stand in front of me.
"Your girlfriend is very beautiful," I said lightly.
Yi Jun didn't respond.
I chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Well, you have always been popular with girls."
"I heard you owe quite a bit of money. How much do you owe?"
I was taken aback for a moment, then shook my head. "Not much."
"I don't care how much you owe; I just want to remind you not to be so extravagant like before."
I nodded with a bitter smile. "I won't."
"That's good."
With that, he turned and walked away.
