After returning to the company, the formerly bustling research and development department was now left with only one secretary.

It seems like we're back to the beginning.

I started attending parties frequently, and at one of those parties, I ran into Liang Yu.

When he saw me, he pushed away the woman hanging onto his arm, another unfamiliar face.

"Xinxin, you didn't have to go through all this. You should have enjoyed life without worries."

"Enjoy a life deceived by you?"

I raised my glass and smiled at him. "Your new girlfriend is very beautiful."

Then as I walked forward, he grabbed my hand tightly, his grip was strong, making it impossible for me to break free.

"She's not my girlfriend, Xinxin. I've always loved you, whether you believe it or not."

Liang Yu released my hand and turned to say something to that girl.

Soon, the girl left the party, casting a resentful glance at me before she departed.

After several months of effort, the company gradually improved.

Friends sent congratulatory flower baskets, and she nestled on the sofa in my office, asking about Liang Yu.

Since that party, I had blocked all of his contact information and no longer paid attention to his life.

She smiled cunningly and brought her phone closer.

It was a video interview.

Liang Yu had just finished a competition, leaning against a motorcycle, when a girl rushed towards him.

The reporter's camera swept across him and then focused on the girl.

"Liang Shao, good things are coming?"

I recognized that girl; I had seen her in the parking lot.

Liang Yu loved to play and wouldn't admit to having a girlfriend in front of the media, but I didn't expect that he wouldn't even acknowledge that girl as a friend.

"She's just a staff member. I'm not familiar with her. I have someone I like."

He took a step back, distancing himself from the girl.

Then he turned towards the camera, with a remorseful expression, and continued speaking.

"I didn't cherish her until she left me.

"I know she's doing well now, and I shouldn't disturb her, but I think of her every day, and it hurts!"

Liang Yu covered his chest, and tears rolled down.

The image froze on that teardrop.

"Doesn't he seem to realize his mistake? Can't he be given another chance?"

My friend's expression was cautious, occasionally glancing at my reaction.

She was my first friend after returning to the country, the person who introduced me to the second-generation circle of Nan City. It was through her that I met Liang Yu.

I was a newcomer in the second-generation circle of Nan City, but I wasn't a fool who had just entered the upper-class circle.

She was the illegitimate daughter of the second-largest shareholder of the Liang Group, a daughter longing to be acknowledged by the family.

My strength probably made Liang's father uneasy.

As I saw my friend off, there was a training session going on in the conference room with interns.

Among them was a very beautiful girl, and I unexpectedly had the thought that this was probably the type Liang Yu would like.

But I didn't expect that a few days later, I actually saw Liang Yu coming to pick up that intern.
