===========================

The door of the apartment was open, revealing a sliver of light.

Lu Hao, this guy, really, how could he not close the door properly?

Shaking her head lightly, Luo Xiaoqian pushed the door open.

In the living room, there were clothes scattered about, and she bent down to pick up a shirt.

...

Grasping the suitcase tightly in her right hand, Luo Xiaoqian strode over, pushed through the half-open doors, and clearly saw a man and a woman embracing each other.

Oh my God, what did she see?

She didn't recognize the woman, who had delicate make-up on her face and a body that exuded the charm of a mature woman.

The man was only showing his profile to the door, but Luo Xiaoqian recognized him instantly—that man was Lu Hao, whom she had been in love with for ten years.

Under the light, his handsome face was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and that face, which always made Luo Xiaoqian think of the sun, now only made her feel disgusted.

Talking about being responsible and getting together after marriage, telling her to go out and have fun without worrying about him, saying he was too busy... it turned out it was all his lies. She took them all seriously, thinking he treasured her.

How ironic!

Knowing he wanted to shoot a music video, she hurriedly claimed she was going to the seaside with Xu Xia for two days, but in reality, she sneaked back to her hometown, clenched her teeth, and sold the only inheritance her mother had left her—the old house she had lived in for twenty years—exchanging it for these three hundred thousand to give to him.

Today was his birthday, and she wanted to give him a surprise. Instead, he gave her a massive shock.

She was so foolish, so foolish!

Her heart felt as if it had been stabbed fiercely by someone.

Luo Xiaoqian swayed, the world went dark before her eyes, and she nearly passed out.

"Lu Hao!" she shouted angrily.

Her voice startled the man and woman in their passion, and they both turned their heads at the sound.

"Who is she?"

The woman looked at Luo Xiaoqian standing by the door, her thin eyebrows raised.

"Oh her!" Lu Hao glanced at Luo Xiaoqian, without a trace of remorse for being caught, but only coldness, "She's just a fellow villager of mine, my dear, just wait for me, I'll be right back!"

He kissed the woman in his arms, then stood up, casually wrapping a blanket around his body.

"You..."

Before Luo Xiaoqian could speak, he had already grabbed her wrist and dragged her out of the room.

"Xiao Qian, listen to my explanation, it's not what you think, I love you, this was just play-acting. As long as I keep her company for a month, she'll give me a hundred thousand. You know my music video needs money, with no investors, I'll never be able to make a video. Relying on your singing at the bar, it would take us five years to save up, and by then I'll be old. You should know, having my own music video has always been my dream..."

Love? Dream?

Does he even deserve to mention those words?

To help him, she gave him the lyrics she wrote, the music she composed, wore only the cheapest Taobao clothes herself, yet bought him full sets of brand-name clothing.

And him? Just for a hundred thousand to shoot a music video, he slept with another woman?

"A hundred thousand? Lu Hao, you're really cheap!" Luo Xiaoqian sneered as she threw the suitcase at him.

Lu Hao raised his hand to block it, the suitcase fell down, hitting his foot. The suitcase was heavy, and since Lu Hao wasn't wearing any shoes, his beautiful face twisted in pain.

The suitcase fell with a thud, revealing the neatly stacked thirty bundles of cash inside.

Rushing over, Luo Xiaoqian snapped the suitcase shut, containing the money, turned around, and headed for the door.

"Xiao Qian, listen to my explanation..." Lu Hao hurriedly chased after her.

Explain my ass!

Luo Xiaoqian turned around and delivered a kick.

By a fluke, it hit right between his legs; Lu Hao immediately doubled over in pain, clutching his stomach.

Luo Xiaoqian hurried down the stairs, ran to the bottom of the building, dashed out of the community, into the roadway.

Tears clouded her eyes like fog, blurring her vision.

A sharp screech of brakes sounded, and the infuriated driver stuck his head out the car window, cursing, "Are you insane? You want to get killed?!"

Death?

Why should she die? She would never die; she was going to live a good life.

Lu Hao betrayed her, just to become famous, just to make money, right?

Fine, she was going to become even more famous, even richer. She would climb to the very top of the pyramid, making Lu Hao and all those who looked down on her look up to her!
