From the moment she saw Li Lin's back in the mall that day, the memories that had been buried in Chu Yao's heart for many years were instantly awakened.

All those little bits and pieces of events from the past came flooding back to her mind like a tide, making her feel a little uneasy for the next few days.

She was too decisive in treating Li Lin at the beginning. Looking back now, she couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

But this feeling of regret was only fleeting... After all, there was a huge gap between their identities and statuses, how could Li Lin be worthy of her?

A short pain is worse than a long one. The initial determination may not have been a wrong thing.

But now I think that the pure love I had in college has become a luxury that is hard to come by.

Sitting in the living room of the villa, she was barefoot, cross-legged on a cashmere mat, making a cup of scented tea, looking a little melancholy.

The luxurious decoration around her was in stark contrast to her loneliness.

After returning to China, she did not rely on her father's connections to go into politics, but instead raised some money and opened an advertising and media company.

She says she is self-reliant, but in fact, every business deal she makes depends on the face of her father Chu Guoan.

On the surface, those partners were attracted by her company's creativity and strength, but in fact, who wouldn't be interested in the face of the deputy governor behind her?

Because of this, her company's business was very good. She signed many big clients in a short period of time and accumulated huge funds.

She is now considered a rising star in Hanjiang Province's business circle, and many people are rushing to make friends with her.

Most people came for her father, the vice governor.

Part of it is because of her as a person.

She has a strong background, great financial strength, and is beautiful... attracting many noblemen to pursue her.

But she didn't like any of them.

It’s not that these people don’t have strong backgrounds or are not good enough, but she can’t stand their insincere flattery.

In her eyes, these people's sweet words were just to take advantage of her family background and seek benefits.

All in all, most of the people who pursued her were impure in heart... She was very disappointed!

On the contrary, I prefer the single life now.

At least, you don't have to deal with those hypocritical faces and flattery with ulterior motives.

After earning money, she bought this villa and lived separately from her parents.

I found a young nanny who was in her twenties and came from the countryside. She was hardworking and did the laundry, cooking, cleaning... and kept the house in tidy order.

She was very satisfied, and of course she would never treat this young nanny from the countryside unfairly in terms of salary.

"Miss, it's time to eat." The little nanny smiled, bent over and reminded in a low voice.

Her attitude was respectful and careful, for fear of displeasing her master.

"Oh." Chu Yao agreed softly, slowly stood up and walked towards the restaurant.

Her steps were graceful, but revealed a sense of superiority and alienation.

In such a big villa, she eats and sleeps alone...sometimes she feels quite lonely.

But even so, she did not allow the nanny to eat at the same table with her when she ate.

In her opinion, there is a difference between master and servant, and the gap in status and class is insurmountable.

She could pity her and give her alms...but that didn't mean the nanny had any right to sit at the same table with her.

The young nanny was used to it and would wait until Chu Yao finished eating slowly before she brought the leftovers into the kitchen and started eating while sitting on a palm-sized stool.

For the young nanny, it is already satisfying to have such a well-paid job, even though she has to endure some unfair treatment.

After dinner, Chu Yao went to the exercise room in the basement to do some simple exercises until her hair was soaked with sweat and strands of hair stuck to her cheeks and back... Only then did she go upstairs contentedly and wash herself.

I changed into a dry set of home clothes and sat cross-legged on the cashmere cushion on the sofa again. The temperature of the freshly brewed tea was just right, and the pink color looked very tempting.

She took a sip, feeling the warm tea sliding down her throat... For some unknown reason, she wanted to call Li Lin and say hello.

She just wanted to ask him how he was doing now. If necessary, she could help Li Lin appropriately.

After all, Chu Yao now has a powerful father, her business is booming, and she has endless money.

As for Li Lin, he is still a poor person in the eyes of the waiters in the luxury store.

Ah~this is class.

A child from the countryside, even if he is as outstanding as Li Lin, cannot soar to the top in a society that values ​​family background...

After hesitating for a moment, she took out her cell phone.

I slid my finger across the screen and found the number I hadn't dialed in a long time.

She felt a little nervous, not knowing how Li Lin would react when he received her call.

...

Li Lin sent Qiao An and Yang Ping out of Dongsheng Hotel and watched them leave.

I had just returned to my room when I received a strange phone call from the provincial capital.

When I looked at the phone number, it turned out to be another series of bomb numbers...

Which big boss is this? Li Lin was puzzled and answered the call.

"Hello?" His voice was calm, with a hint of doubt.

"Li Lin, is that you?"

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. When Li Lin heard it, he felt a shock in his heart.

Chu Yao? There was no doubt about it. He would never forget this voice!

Li Lin was slow to speak, his body stiffly standing there, not moving a muscle.

His thoughts were instantly pulled back to the past, where the sweetness and pain of the past were intertwined together, leaving him at a loss as to how to respond for a moment.

"Li Lin, is that you? Why don't you speak? I'm Chu Yao..."

Chu Yao on the other end of the phone didn't hear any response for a long time, and thought the call was disconnected, so she kept asking questions.

There was a hint of urgency in her tone, and her heart was full of doubts.

What can I say? What can I say?

Li Lin faced the window, a trace of sadness flashing in his eyes, and said calmly, "You dialed the wrong number."

His voice was cold, as if to cut off everything in the past.

Then hang up the phone gently.

The busy tone kept ringing on the phone, but Chu Yao was reluctant to put down the phone.

That was definitely Li Lin's voice, but why didn't he admit it?

She was confused and shocked... No man had ever rejected her so decisively.

What's wrong with him? Is he still holding a grudge against me and refusing to forgive me?

Childish! A trace of disappointment and anger flashed across Chu Yao's eyes.

She felt that Li Lin was too petty and didn't understand her good intentions.

She is the daughter of the vice governor, and no matter how many people try to curry favor with her, they can't get her over with.

Why did Li Lin treat her like this? Putting down her phone, she stood up and looked out the window, her arms folded across her chest, her eyes gradually becoming colder...

In her heart, Li Lin should be grateful. After all, she took the initiative to contact him and gave him a chance to get close to her.

"It's really like a piece of mud that can't be helped..." Chu Yao muttered to herself with a condescending attitude.

She felt that Li Lin was ungrateful and didn't know how to seize the olive branch she threw out.

In her world, her giving is a gift, and Li Lin’s refusal is stupidity and ignorance.
