Reborn and awakened, this time I won't be a love-struck fool.

For the first time, I truly understood what it meant to feel "utterly ashamed".

After learning that Lin Wu had clashed with Director Sui, several colleagues were all waiting to see him make a fool of himself.

Let's wait and see if she regrets it, and see her make a fool of herself by resigning.

After all, my current job is respectable enough, and the salary is enough for me to live alone in Beijing.

They waited and waited, only to end up making a fool of themselves.

They're from a completely different world.

She doesn't need a job to carefully support her life at all.

The eldest daughter of the Lin Group...

Not to mention this life, even in the next life, and the life after that, she wouldn't be able to spend all her money.

In her eyes, one hundred million is probably no different from one dollar.

Liu Lerong recalled how she often showed off her newly bought clothes in front of Lin Wu. She seemed to be talking to Yang Yan, but every word she said was actually meant for Lin Wu to hear.

But she never reacted much.

Liu Lerong has always disliked Lin Wu.

Actually, she quite likes beautiful women. She has met all the pretty colleagues and has a good relationship with them.

Only forest mist.

The reason, in fact, was that she felt this person was too arrogant.

Liu Lerong couldn't understand it at the time. Her clothes and appearance didn't seem like those of a rich person, and her boyfriends, apart from Zhang Yi, were all useless. What was she so proud of?

Back when she was showing off her expensive perfume, her runway-style dress that she had saved up to buy, and her trip abroad for afternoon tea with a tycoon on a private jet.

Lin Wu should have shown the same surprised and envious expression as Yang Yan.

Why is she so indifferent?

What are they pretending to be?

Liu Lerong felt that Lin Wu was strong-willed and concerned about her image, and she kept her envy and jealousy to herself, but did not show it.

The calmer Lin Wu remained, the more Liu Lerong felt like she was being scratched by cat claws, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

As time went by, she became increasingly eager to break through Lin Wu's feigned composure.

She had originally thought that if Lin Wu really resigned, she probably wouldn't be able to stay calm anymore and wouldn't be able to maintain her outward arrogance.

The results of it.

As it turns out, she doesn't need a job to support her family at all, and she genuinely looks down on her perfume babies, let alone the so-called rich people she talks about.

Even if these things were given to the eldest daughter of the Lin Group for free, she wouldn't care about them.

She didn't even bother to glance at it.

She was the one who had been deluding herself all along.

She desperately wanted Lin Wu's approval.

In this conflict between her and Lin Wu, which wasn't really a conflict, Liu Lerong was always the one in a weaker position.

She had always wanted to make Lin Wu look surprised and envious, which was to give Lin Wu the right to control her own emotions.

Liu Lerong took a deep breath.

She bit her lower lip as she looked at the messages in the group chat.

The people inside called out to Lin Wu for a long time before someone finally realized something was wrong.

Colleague 2: [Wait, Lin Wu doesn't seem to be in the group chat.]

Colleague 8: [Impossible.]

Colleague 9: [I searched, and she really isn't there. I have her WeChat.]

Colleague 3: [...]

Colleague 9: [We look like clowns.]

Colleague 17: [What's it to us? Lin Wu is always gone after work, and she's so aloof. Everyone who confessed to her before was rejected. Aside from our team, hardly anyone adds her as a friend. With so many people in the group, how would anyone know she wasn't there?]

Colleague 20: [But Lin Wu has never come to any of the get-togethers. You should really think about it more often.]

Colleague 17: [That's probably because she didn't want to join the group. Come to think of it, she's a rich heiress, how could she possibly look down on people like us?]

Colleague 14: [Isn't that right? She's a rich heiress, you know. We probably wouldn't even be worthy to carry her shoes in her eyes.]

Colleague 2: [Isn't that right? If we hadn't become colleagues by chance, we probably would never have met someone like this in our entire lives. Even if we did, it would probably have been a chance encounter on the street, a fleeting glance.]

Colleague 5: [What's wrong? So used to being a capitalist's slave, now you're even fawning over the capitalist's daughter.]

Colleague 6: [Exactly, can't you have some backbone?]

Colleague 19: [Oh, that's just talk online. In real life, who wouldn't want to fawn over Miss Lin? If you succeed, you're set for life.]

Colleague 31: [I support it. Why narrow the path?]

Upon seeing this, Luo Xurou couldn't help but type a line of text.

Luo Xurou: [I asked Lin Wu, and it's not that she looks down on us or doesn't want to join the group; it's that she simply doesn't know this group exists.]

Colleague 1: [...]

Colleague 8: [@Liu Lerong, Rongrong, what happened?]

Liu Lerong: "..."

She remained frozen for a long time without reacting.

Finally, to avoid seeing it and getting annoyed, I simply turned off the group chat.

On the other side...

in the apartment.

Lin Wu bent down and used a spoon to pry open the chocolate on top of the ice cream. While watching the show, she ate the chocolate shell clean, leaving only the white vanilla ice cream.

She pushed it into Xu Jingwang's hands, her voice filled with genuine emotion, "Baby, you eat."

Xu Jingwang: "..."

Lin Wu blinked, her eyes exceptionally sincere, "When we first got together, I swore I would save the best for you."

He looked down at the ice cream box, which was a mess from being scooped out with a spoon. "Your statement is completely unconvincing."

"real."

Lin Wu frowned, heartbroken. "How could you doubt my sincerity?"

"Am I doubting your sincerity?" He looked at Lin Wu with a complicated expression.

Lin Wu maintained her sorrowful expression. "Isn't that right?"

"I can't find your true feelings." Xu Jingwang picked up a small wooden spoon and scooped out a bite of ice cream.

The top layer of crispy chocolate was completely eaten by someone.

There wasn't a trace of black in the small bowl; it was all pale yellow ice cream.

Feeling guilty, Lin Wu gave a dry laugh and leaned over to kiss her boyfriend on the cheek.

Her lips were icy cold, and even a slight touch made them very noticeable.

"I'll leave you some next time," she lied through her teeth.

She stocked up an entire freezer full of this ice cream.

Only the chocolate coating on top is delicious.

The light yellow part at the bottom is too greasy; it tastes like frozen cream.

So every time Lin Wu ate, she would only eat the top layer of chocolate crust, and then subtly give the rest to her boyfriend.

The phone suddenly rang.

Lin Wu turned her head and asked, "Whose phone is it?"

"your."

Xu Jingwang unplugged the charging cable and handed the phone to Lin Wu.

Lin Wu looked at the message and saw that it was from Yang Yan.

Her eyebrows involuntarily twitched upwards.

Yang Yan and Liu Lerong are usually so close that they're practically inseparable. Liu Lerong dislikes her, and Yang Yan follows suit.
