“I like Tian Jun!” Lu Yaoyao said. “It’s like how you feel about Tang Zhi. If you were to leave Tang Zhi, would you still be able to live a carefree and happy life?”

Chu Nian looked at Lu Yaoyao with a strange expression and said, "How do you know I won't have a carefree life?" She paused, then leaned closer to Lu Yaoyao and whispered, "I've already broken up with him. Otherwise, why do you think he would be chasing after me so eagerly? Sigh, men..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh.

Lu Yaoyao looked enlightened and said, "Oh, so this is what you call playing hard to get." But when she turned her head and saw Tian Jun in the distance, she said sadly, "But if I play hard to get like you, Tian Jun will only drift further and further away from me."

Although her current appearance, combined with her charming looks, inevitably evoked feelings of pity, Chu Nian felt that this person's suffering was entirely of her own making and she had no one else to blame, so she remained silent.

Tang Zhi noticed that they hadn't managed to strike up a conversation with Tian Jun, so he walked over again.

Chu Nian wanted to pull Lu Yaoyao away immediately when she saw this, but suddenly she heard Tang Zhi say from behind, "Nian Nian, I want to talk to you about your family."

Chu Nian's steps stopped. After transmigrating, the first thing she did was break up with Tang Zhi; the second thing was to turn the first night she accidentally discovered, which led to Tian Jun and Lin Xinwan's later falling in love, into a monetary transaction; the third thing was to change her phone number, apartment, and so on, so she changed all her contact information, but did not tell any of the original owner's relatives.

In Chu Nian's eyes, those so-called relatives, her parents and brothers, were nothing more than people who treated Chen Nian as a cash cow, and had no affection for her whatsoever.

Upon hearing Tang Zhi mention Chen Nian's "family," Chu Nian turned to look at him, sneering, "Oh? My family's affairs? What does my family's affairs have to do with you?"

Tang Zhi felt that the smile on Chen Nian's face made him feel cold to the bone: This woman had always been humble in front of him, when did she become so aloof, making him feel cold inside?

"Uncle Chen came to see me yesterday and said that you haven't sent living expenses home for two months, so I gave him 20,000 yuan." Tang Zhi said with a God-like face that said, "I'm so kind, I'm doing this for your family," and he was quite emotional.

Chu Nian chuckled and said, "Besides my daughter, he has three sons to support him. Who are you to him that you gave him 20,000 yuan? This has nothing to do with me, so don't hold me responsible for this."

Tang Zhi said helplessly, "Niannian, you know your three brothers aren't very capable..."

Chu Nian: "They certainly don't have your abilities, but they can still support your parents. I used to have a job and could support several people, including my three brothers. Now that I'm unemployed, I can't support them anymore, and they should learn to be self-reliant. Give your Uncle Chen the 20,000 yuan, and ask those three men for it later. Don't come looking for me."

She wouldn't give them a single penny.

As Lu Yaoyao listened, she thought of her biological mother who had started blackmailing her with her birth details when she was very young. Feeling a bit of sympathy for Chu Nian, she said, "Miss Chen, have you been supporting your three brothers with your own money all along? You should cut ties with people like that as soon as possible, otherwise who knows how much more money they will try to extort from you in the future, or you might end up being skinned alive by them."

Chu Nian nodded in deep agreement. However, while Lu Yaoyao was quite clear-headed when discussing her own affairs, why was she so muddled when it came to her own? Lu Yaoyao had been blackmailed by her biological mother for over ten years, and would continue to be blackmailed until that Mrs. Lu recognized Lin Xinwan as her real daughter…

Well, that Mrs. Lu is really something else!

Without the original owner's experiences, Chu Nian might have felt a sense of kinship with Lu Yaoyao after hearing her words, because of their mutual understanding in this regard. Unfortunately, with the original owner's experiences, Chu Nian knew very well that Lu Yaoyao was also ruthless.

The original owner of this body met Lu Yaoyao at this banquet. They later became close friends because they both disliked Lin Xinwan and even taught Lin Xinwan a lesson together. At that time, the two were very good friends.

But the original owner could never have imagined that it was precisely because of this that she became Lu Yaoyao's scapegoat, and in the end, she was attacked by those trolls online, abandoned by Tang Zhi, disliked by her family, and chose to commit suicide when she had nowhere else to turn.

Chu Nian simply exchanged pleasantries and pleasantries with Lu Yaoyao, maintaining her politeness and demeanor.

Lu Yaoyao was summoned by Mrs. Lu, who introduced her to a portly man. This portly man, a member of the royal family from Country Y, whose status and family background were comparable to the Lu family's, later became Lu Yaoyao's arranged marriage partner—this was Lu Yaoyao's fate.

Seeing this, Chu Nian became suspicious: Mrs. Lu was introducing this fat uncle to Lu Yaoyao with the intention of giving Lu Yaoyao to the fat uncle in exchange for the greatest benefit for the Lu family.

Because the Lu family will be inherited by Lin Xinwan in the future.

Seeing that Lu Yaoyao had finally separated from Chu Nian, leaving Chu Nian alone, Tang Zhi wanted to approach her again. However, Tian Jun beat him to it, reaching Chu Nian and Guan, and said with a smile, "Nian Nian, want to dance together?"

Chu Nian was Tian Jun's date today, and she readily agreed. She put down her wine glass and stepped onto the dance floor with Tian Jun.

Tang Zhi, who had already walked to the other side of Chu Nian, froze on the spot, his face turning pale and then red, feeling extremely embarrassed!

Zhao Yang walked over somewhat helplessly and said, "Boss Tang, some feelings are lost forever, and there's no use trying to get them back."

Tang Zhi: "So it turns out that President Zhao had already figured out that I had been abandoned by Nian Nian." He looked heartbroken.

Zhao Yang remained silent. Because Chen Nian was his most capable employee, he paid close attention to her and naturally knew that before their breakup, there was Lin Xinwan who was always caught in the middle between the two. Tang Zhi not only didn't think he was wrong, but also felt it was his right, reasoning that "Lin Xinwan is working hard alone in S City, without any relatives or friends. What's wrong with him taking care of her?"

However, as an observer and a man like Tang Zhi, Zhao Yang knew Tang Zhi's thoughts all too well. He also knew that breaking up was the right choice for Chen Nian.

He just didn't expect that Chen Nian would quit her job after the breakup.

He thought that perhaps because their company had a lot of business dealings with Tang Zhi's company, Chen Nian didn't want to have any more contact with Tang Zhi, or rather, she didn't want to give Tang Zhi any chance, so she resigned!

Seeing that Chu Nian and Tian Jun had finished their dance, Zhao Yang quickly went over with a smile to greet Chu Nian.
