The HR manager didn't want to say these things, wanting to save face for her, but unexpectedly, Jin Yue wouldn't leave no matter how persistent she was.

Although Jin Yue was indignant, the company had given her all the compensation she was entitled to, so there was nothing she could do but leave.

As Jin Yue walked out of the office building, raindrops hit her face, mingling with her tears of grievance and sliding down her collar.

After living expenses, little savings remained, and the amount on the bank card was pitifully small.

Jin Yue could only travel around the city for interviews during the day and take on various part-time jobs at night.

One evening, the kitchen of the fast food restaurant was still filled with thick fumes.

Jin Yue was engrossed in washing the sauce-covered iron plate, the cold water making her fingers numb. A waiter carrying piping hot fries passed by and suddenly stumbled.

Jin Yue felt a sharp pain in her left arm as scalding oil and fries were splashed all over her, immediately causing bright red marks to appear on her skin.

"I'm so sorry! Xiao Jin, are you alright?!"

The waiter hurriedly apologized.

"What's wrong with you two! You're so clumsy! The cleaning fee will be deducted from your wages!"

The supervisor's harsh voice rang out in the restaurant.

The surrounding murmurs of onlookers, coupled with harsh criticism and recent setbacks, finally broke Jin Yue's last shred of patience.

"You old man, all you know how to do is deduct money!!!"

"We've been standing for over ten hours a day, our feet are all bruised and battered, and all you do is yell at us!"

"Everyone has disliked you for a long time!!"

Jin Yue's voice was hoarse and shrill. She tried to raise her arms and get the surrounding waiters to join her in making a scene, but no one paid any attention to her.

Enraged, she ripped off her greasy apron and ran wildly into the rain until she was out of breath, finally stopping at a bus stop.

On the billboard at the bus stop, the silhouettes of a man and a woman occupied a large portion of the space.

The man was dressed in a well-tailored dark suit, exuding an aura of aloofness that kept strangers at bay.

The woman he was half-embracing only showed her slender and elegant back.

The small gold-embossed text in the bottom right corner of the photo reads: "Wishing my baby happiness every day."

Jin Yue's pupils contracted sharply, and the empty rice ball packaging bag in her hand fell into the puddle.

It is Pei Mozhi.

This face was etched into her very bones, becoming her sole obsession during countless sleepless nights.

It was also the last reason that kept her alive in this strange world!

That man, who represented ultimate luxury, power, and status, was the dream she desperately wanted to rekindle.

But now.

Jin Yue's fingertips dug deeply into her palms, the pain of her nails embedding into her flesh was nothing compared to the dull, tearing pain in her chest.

The rice ball she had just swallowed felt like a stone, blocking her internal organs and causing them to convulse.

It turns out that her death was nothing more than a trivial matter to Pei Mozhi, a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning at all!

After being reborn, she exhausted herself to earn money, hoping that one day she could get closer to that person again.

But reality gave her the cruelest result: Pei Mozhi was not short of people around him at all!

And he's got a new woman!!

During the days she spent with Pei Mozhi before her rebirth, she thought that the cold man was someone who would be faithful to one another once he fell in love. It turned out he was a scumbag!

Those rumors are true too; Pei Mozhi is a scumbag who changes women and clothes all the time!

How could such a scumbag deserve such wealth!

Jin Yue suddenly covered her mouth and gagged several times.

But without Pei Mozhi, is this her future—being so subservient every day just to make a living?
