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

Lin Si was probably scrolling through his phone when he replied quickly.

s：【？】

s: [Understood.]

Lin Wu felt that he didn't seem to understand He Wensi's hint.

Melancholy Sweetie: [Didn't Sisi see a bag she liked? Remember to buy it for her. I have plenty more money if you don't have enough.]

S: [I have money, I don't need yours.]

Melancholy Sweetie: [Okay then.]

Lin Wu had no choice but to exit the chat window and sighed.

The only relative she can still contact is Lin Si.

As a result, she now has absolutely no idea what her younger brother is thinking.

They don't even know how to have a conversation.

Every time I chat with my younger brother, I need to go online to find out how older sisters get along with their younger brothers.

Lin Wu changed her posture again and continued scrolling through her phone.

Until I came across an interview.

It had been a long time since I'd seen him, but he seemed unchanged, still aloof and distant. His black suit accentuated his broad shoulders, though the video only showed a limited area.

Only the upper body can be seen.

Lin Wu instinctively gripped the blanket.

Very embarrassing.

It was extremely embarrassing.

It's probably someone she used to look down on who has now transformed into a business tycoon, starting from scratch.

She went from being a high-class young lady to a debt-ridden fugitive, accumulating a mountain of debt.

"..."

Lin Wu thought wistfully, "The old saying is right."

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.

I guess I still can't do bad things.

They all face retribution in this lifetime.

Miss Lin recounted her short first half of life, a treatment akin to that of a novel's protagonist.

Born into a wealthy family, good-looking, and with a childhood sweetheart.

She hadn't done anything particularly bad, except for causing trouble for Xu Jingwang because of Xie Yanhuai.

Lin Wu changed her lying position and continued to sigh.

Pitiful, tragic, and lamentable.

She then opened the comments section.

So handsome...

"You mean, this handsome guy isn't just a domineering CEO from a TV drama, but a real-life one? I need all the information about this man in three minutes."

[A graduate of a prestigious university, highly intelligent, handsome, rich, and with a pleasant voice—so what window did God close for him?]

Lin Wu thought for a moment when she saw this comment.

It seems like God closed a window for him.

He used to be quite poor.

Lin Wu didn't have many memories of Xu Jingwang; they were mostly of him working in various shops.

He seems to be born without knowing what tiredness is, or even the need to rest.

After finishing my studies, I would go to work part-time.

Lin Wu frequently made things difficult for him at the milk tea shop where he worked.

However, this person had a pretty good temper and almost never lost his temper. No matter how Lin Wu made things difficult for him, he never uttered a sound.

It's all Xie Yanhuai's fault.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gone to bully Xu Jingwang.

It also leaves you with a way out.

Lin Wu thought with frustration, "Given Xu Jingwang's good character, if I had cultivated a good relationship with him back then, he definitely wouldn't have stood by and watched me die."

Actually, Lin Wu didn't owe that much money.

A little over fifty million.

For her before, it was just a small amount of money.

Now she only has a high school diploma, and her grandparents and parents can't help her. All her former friends have turned their backs on her.

Including her fiancé whom she had liked since childhood.

Lin Wu had already somewhat let go of the past, and when she thought about these things again, she no longer felt any emotional fluctuation.

She liked the video and then scrolled to the next one.

……

The day before Valentine's Day.

Lin Wu lay on the bed, her stomach growling with hunger. She thought for a while and realized she only had two hundred yuan left in her pocket. Should she go out and buy something to eat?

But she was just found by the debtors who had run away with her debts last week.

It took almost half an hour of running to shake them off.

She's a little hesitant to go out now.

Just as I was pondering this, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Wu's breathing stopped instantly.

She carefully pressed herself against the door, opened WeChat, and was just about to ask Lin Si a question.

Then I received a message from the other party.

s: [It's me.]

Lin Wu breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.

Lin Si handed Lin Wu a takeout box, saying, "Here you go."

"did you eat?"

Lin Wu didn't answer.

"I've eaten." Lin Si shook his finger, seemingly a little impatient. "I have money, you don't need to worry about me. I can make a lot of money as a male escort."

Lin Wu thought for a moment and then took it.

The basement was small, and the two of them felt a little awkward in that environment.

While eating, Lin Wu made small talk, saying, "Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Remember to give Sisi a gift, take her out to eat, and make sure she's happy."

She previously thought that He Wensi didn't have much genuine affection for Lin Si and was purely after his money.

As it turns out, Lin Si is now in the same boat as her, burdened with a mountain of debt, yet He Wensi is still willing to be with him, which instantly changed Lin Wu's opinion.

She's really blind; the person she used to look down on is now devoted to Lin Si.

Those who were close to her fled as quickly as possible after the incident at her home.

It vividly illustrates what "face-changing" means.

Therefore, she hopes that Lin Si and He Wensi can be together happily.

"Um."

Lin Si responded indifferently.

Lin Wu couldn't figure out what he was thinking for a moment.

"Did you buy him a bag?"

"Twenty thousand for a bag? Where am I supposed to find that much money? Sell a kidney?" Lin Si said impatiently. "Eat your food."

Lin Wu: "..."

She really wanted to put on airs like an older sister.

Unfortunately, she and Lin Si hadn't spoken much since junior high school and weren't familiar with each other at all.

She took out the last of her money from her pocket and handed it to Lin Si, pretending to be nonchalant. "Take it. A friend of mine made a lot of money and introduced me to a job. It pays several thousand yuan a month."

Lin Si: "...Which friend of yours?"

"You don't know him?" Lin Wu said, forcing a smile. "He's my high school classmate, and he's really amazing."

"Really?" Lin Si asked.

To increase credibility, she recalled a video she had watched a few days ago about Xu Jingwang. "He just won a big award, something about an intelligent companion robot... I can't remember the specifics, but he's really awesome now."

"……Um."

Lin Si responded.

In the dimly lit room, his eyes had a slightly bluish tint.

Lin Wu lowered her head and shoveled a mouthful of rice into her mouth.

The rice was quite hot, but it was a bit too soft and didn't taste good.

Lin Wu definitely wouldn't have eaten it before.

Right now, all I think about is how incredibly fragrant it is.

After watching her finish eating, Lin Si took the trash and left.

Lin Wu lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about what to do next.

I still need to find a job.

Serious work.

But she has no formal education; she only graduated from high school, so she can't find a decent job at all.

Lin Wu continued scrolling through videos, feeling melancholy, preparing to escape from real life.

I just watched two videos and received a message from Zou Dafa.

Your Uncle Zou: [Are you there? Are you coming to the grave to mourn?]

Melancholy Sweetie: [Come here.]

Your Uncle Zou: [This time the location is a bit far; it's for a rich kid's grave. Is that alright?]

Melancholy Sweetie: [How far is it?]

Your father, Zou: [Located in a wealthy area of ​​Beijing.]
