When the "Crown Prince" of the city's elite circle pursued me, he gave me BMWs and luxury villas. My best friend said relying on a man is worse than relying on yourself. I believed her words, decisively rejected the Crown Prince, and returned all those gifts. Heartbroken, the Crown Prince went abroad and died in a conflict zone. As a result, I lived my whole life as an ordinary white-collar worker, working myself to death for a monthly salary of a few thousand dollars. It wasn't until I fell seriously ill from overwork that my best friend said to me: "You were destined to soar, but who told you to be stupid enough to believe whatever I said? Seeing you living worse than me makes me feel balanced." As I spat blood in anger, she took the opportunity to pull my oxygen tube, letting me die in the hospital bed. Turns out, her words were never for my own good. After rebirth, looking at the Crown Prince who was about to buy me a luxury villa, I smiled sweetly: "Let's date!" Refusing money, I was indeed a fool in my past life. As for my best friend, I want her to be insanely jealous but unable to do anything to me. 1 "Gardenia (Zhizhi), do you like this house?" Julian King reached out to open the car door for me, pointing at the European-style villa in front of us, asking with a smile, his eyes full of joy expecting praise. "You want to give it to me?" I raised my head blankly, looking at the vivid Julian in front of me and my own fair and tender hands, realizing with hindsight that I had actually been reborn. Reborn to the time when I hadn't rejected Julian yet, and he hadn't gone abroad heartbroken and died in a conflict zone. At this moment, his smile was warm and gentle, like a ray of warm sun. The thing I regretted most in my past life wasn't rejecting the immense wealth, but regretting letting such a deeply affectionate person die abroad because of my rejection. It could be said he died because of me. I thought more than once, if I hadn't chosen to reject him back then, he wouldn't have died young abroad. "Yes, this way you don't have to worry about being kicked out by the landlord every day. It's not a loan, I'll choose to pay in full so you have no worries, okay?" Julian asked me cautiously, afraid I would be angry with him and ignore him. Actually, he didn't need to be so careful with me. He never owed me anything. Instead, I accepted his kindness again and again but refused to agree to be with him for a long time. Just because my best friend, Chloe Xu, would brainwash me under the banner of being for my own good every time Julian showed kindness to me. "A rich young master like Julian can't be sincere to you." "Relying on a man is worse than relying on yourself. Reject him! We want to be independent women." 2 But in fact, I wasn't cut out to be an independent "big woman" at all. My knowledge and vision were too ordinary. In my past life, after rejecting him, I worked hard and down-to-earth for my career for twenty years. For this, I even chose not to marry, thinking that heaven rewards diligence, and my hard work would definitely pay off. But in the end, before I died, my salary was only five thousand a month, and I worked myself into a body full of ailments. Because there are too many ordinary corporate workers like me, a dime a dozen. I could be replaced at any time. I wasn't cut out to be a heroine. But it's different with Julian. He thinks I'm special, he likes me. This villa he casually gave me is worth eight figures. It's an existence where I couldn't even afford a toilet inside even if I worked hard all my life. In my last life, I rejected his proposal and turned away, wasting his good intentions. So in my last life, three days later, I was kicked out of my rental because the landlord raised the price temporarily. I simply deserved it. But now, I accepted it generously: "I accept, thank you for your gift, I like it very much. I can finally say goodbye to the landlord's face that raises prices at any time." Seeing me accept his gift for the first time, Julian happily called the agent waiting aside: "Come here, bring the contract for her to sign. My secretary will transfer the money to your account in an hour." So a luxury house worth tens of millions was added to my name, and Julian didn't feel the pinch at all. During the meal, he told me: "I'm very happy you could accept my kindness. "You know what? The location of this house is particularly good, and your neighbors are all very kind people. This villa really suits you perfectly. Living here in the future, I can work with more peace of mind, not worrying about you being troubled by the landlord at any time. "And you don't need to have any psychological burden. Its existence is just a kind gift from me. Not a bargaining chip for me to force you to be with me. You don't need to have any psychological burden." This villa was actually carefully selected by him. Such a good man, only giving, not asking for return! I must have been blind and blind-hearted in my past life to listen to Chloe's words and push him away. I only thought Chloe was doing it for my own good at the time, never thinking that Chloe was jealous of me. Her own life was a mess, and she didn't want me to live a good life either. Actually, if she had good intentions back then, after I got together with Julian and lived a good life, I would definitely have helped her as a best friend. Originally we could have gone up a level together, but she wanted to drag me into the mud with her. At this moment, my hatred for her reached its peak. I can't wait to see her breakdown. 3 When Julian drove me downstairs to my rental apartment, he looked nervous: "Can I go up and sit for a while? Just drink some water and leave." Heard that before meeting me, Julian was not good with words and had a bad childhood experience. Maybe because when he was an intern at the grassroots level of our company, I thought he was an ordinary employee and helped him when he was made difficult by other employees, he was very willing to contact me and very active. He is different from those men with many tricks. He said going up to drink water meant just drinking water and leaving. He didn't have those crooked intestines (bad intentions). He was satisfied just looking at me a few more times. This time I didn't reject him: "Sure! Just right for you to know the door. If possible, come help me move tomorrow morning! I want to move into the new home you gave me quickly." Julian didn't expect me, who was always polite but wary and distant towards him, to make exceptions for him again and again today. The raised corners of his mouth never came down. He followed me upstairs excitedly, chattering: "You agree to let me help you move? What time tomorrow? Is 6 am too early? How about 8 am? Need a moving company? I'll contact one!" In the past, I would have disliked him being too attentive, but now I find his love-brained look strangely cute. I thought about it and responded to him: "8:30! By then, I should have packed up." Julian quickly nodded and noted it down. Then he really followed me back to the rental room, drank a cup of warm water and left. I put a little osmanthus honey in that water, hoping he would have a sweet dream tonight. What made me feel very comfortable was that he didn't show a disgusted expression because my rental room was small throughout the whole process. He said, a girl coming out to strive on her own, being able to have such a small nest shows that I have worked very hard. Quite good at comforting people. 4 After he left, I pretended to call Chloe inadvertently: "Julian said he wanted to give me a villa today, do you think I should accept it?" Chloe, who was still working overtime on Saturday over there, was extremely resentful: "Of course don't accept it, others will treat you as a gold digger if you do. Reject him! You must reject him fiercely." I pretended to be ignorant and nodded: "Okay! I originally thought, if you like this villa, I could pass it on to you. Since you think this is more like gold digging, I'd better reject it! A house worth more than ten million." Chloe, who originally wanted to persuade me to continue rejecting, seemed to be drinking water, and then she choked on the water. After coughing several times, she quickly asked me: "How much did you say? A house worth more than ten million? Could it be a trap? Did he ask you to take a loan? Does decoration still need a large sum of money? That's a means to manipulate you; he wants to control you with money." I shook my head: "I went to see the house, in Cloud District, fully furnished. He said he paid in full. If you don't want it, forget it." I said, pretending to hang up the phone. Even Chloe, who was bent on persuading me to stay away from Julian, was severely moved when she heard about the villa worth ten million. She shouted loudly to stop me: "Don't hang up yet! Who said I don't want it? You are going to be self-improving in the future. Let me do this kind of gold-digging thing! You accept his kindness first, then immediately transfer the house to me. This way you can also maintain your persona of not bowing for money." But when did I ever want to set up some broken persona of not bowing for money? What is the meaning of living if not to make money? Didn't she always shout at me not to accept any gifts from Julian before? Why doesn't she shout at me not to rely on men but rely on myself at this time? Turns out she has always been a double-standard dog. That set of rhetoric before was just to fool me. Just because I was simple and easy to cheat, she wanted to destroy my bright and brilliant future? Really too vicious. How could I be so stupid back then to think she was thinking for me? I was simply stupid to death in my past life. 5 "Gardenia, why aren't you talking? Are you moved by my act of self-sacrifice? "You don't need to thank me too much. In the future, whenever Julian says he wants to give you anything, just throw it to me without burden. I'll bear it for you. Also don't reject too hard, keep him hooked first." In front of money, Chloe opened her mind instantly. Originally wanting to persuade me to stay away from Julian, now she hopes I can get more, get for her. Really shameless enough. "But, didn't you always say to let me reject him before? Let me think about it carefully! I don't know for a moment whether to listen to what you say now or what you said before." After finishing, I hung up the phone directly at her most expectant moment. I think without my accurate answer, Chloe should be tossing and turning tonight, unable to sleep no matter what. You know that's ten million! Ten million that she would find hard to earn in a lifetime no matter how she struggled. If she didn't get it in the end because of my hesitation, I think she would regret it for life. Sure enough, five minutes later, Chloe took the initiative to call me: "Gardenia, I thought carefully. My previous thoughts were not mature enough. You can actually treat him..." Without waiting for her to finish, I smiled and took the conversation: "You want to say neither riches nor honors can corrupt, neither poverty nor humble condition can swerve, neither threats nor force can subdue? I've heard you say this many times. I will consider it seriously. Going to sleep first." After speaking, I hung up her phone directly, then turned it off, and went to get my beauty sleep. Actually, about half an hour later, Chloe came downstairs to my rental apartment. She shouted downstairs, wanting to see me, wanting to persuade me to accept that villa and give it to her. But I pretended not to hear directly, rolled over and continued sleeping. Anyway, there is access control downstairs, she can only shout downstairs. Without the access password, she can't come up. And because this building is full of working people, being woken up when falling asleep caused great resentment. Without me stopping her, the middle-aged aunt upstairs was already cursing at Chloe downstairs: "Middle of the night, shouting what? If you don't leave, I'll splash water." The young man downstairs also raised a wine bottle aimed at Chloe downstairs: "If you disturb my gaming again, I'll smash you." Scaring Chloe into fleeing with her head in her hands, leaving unwillingly...
