Jia Guoguo, a contestant who was originally on the verge of even passing the third-tier university entrance exam, unexpectedly performed exceptionally well and passed the second-tier university entrance exam. She lives in the same city as Qin Wen.
After his sister had almost recovered, Zhou Lecheng took her home.
For the sake of his sister, he changed his previous cowardice and learned how to manage the company from the vice president, but everything still revolved around his sister.
During this period, Su Man, with the help of the vice president, made a major reshuffle of the company and transferred all the properties to her sister's name.
That day, Su Man had just finished the last procedure at the Housing Management Office and saw Jiang Ying when she came out.
She was talking to a middle-aged woman, who seemed to have also bought a house and was here to handle the paperwork.
Jiang Ying noticed Su Man, said a few words to the woman, and then walked towards Su Man.
Su Man thought she would curse at her, but she remained gentle.
"Xiaoman, long time no see."
Su Man raised her eyebrows, obviously surprised by her attitude.
She hadn't heard any news about Jiang Ying for a long time. She wasn't as miserable as she had imagined. She was dressed smartly, and the bag she carried on her elbow was obviously quite expensive.
Seeing Su Man looking at her like this, Jiang Ying said generously, "I am divorced from your father and am now dating Mr. Du."
Mr. Du?
Su Man recalled it after a moment. Mr. Du was already seventy years old this year. Although he was old, he was very young at heart. Jiang Ying was considered the oldest among his girlfriends.
Su Man smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Jiang Ying seemed not to understand Su Man's sarcasm and smiled, "Thank you. At my age, there are still people who want me. Congratulations are indeed due."
As he was speaking, a Bentley stopped by the roadside.
The driver got out of the car and said to Jiang Ying, "Miss Jiang, please."
Jiang Ying nodded, "Then I'll go first."
The car door closed, Su Man stopped and looked for a while, then left in another direction.

Jiang Ying extra
The night my stepfather came into my room, I had only one thought in my mind.
I want to get out of here.
I looked at the shaking ceiling and smelled the rotten smell coming in from the window, mixed with the strong and indelible smell of sweat in the room. I couldn't help but vomit.
The pain of the slap on my face was much better than the feeling of him pressing on me.
He left cursing, and when I opened the door, I saw my mother, if she could be considered a mother.
I live in the lowest slums. If you haven't been here, you would never know that there are such places in this city.
The few rickety buildings on the garbage dump are home to the city's lowest class. You can't expect such people to be polite or have good manners; instead, stealing and having affairs are the most common things to happen here.
Every time I walked along that garbage-strewn path, I had to endure not only the unpleasant smell of decay, but also those naked stares.
Having lived here for more than ten years, I have become able to endure the harassment I receive when I pass by without any expression on my face.
In order to protect myself, I tried my best to hide, but what I didn't expect was that the real danger was at home.
I want to get out of here.
I thought this as my stepfather lay on top of me again.
Not just this home, but this place that should have rotted away long ago.
That night, my stepfather slipped and fell from the building.
I was not at home when the police came to investigate. I only heard that my mother followed the police.
In the days that followed, I was the only one left.
But it doesn't matter.
I looked at the building with old stairs covered with vines. I knew I would be able to climb up if I had the chance.
