As I was thinking about this, I was suddenly poked by Zhou Jihuai.

When I came to my senses, I realized that Xu Manqi was calling me.

The woman tilted her head, looking innocent, but her words were full of malice.

"This is the girl who has always been with Jihuai, right? Today is Jihuai's birthday, what gift did you prepare for him?"

"Jihuai really likes you, so you must have prepared a very valuable gift for him, right?"

"Oh, it's a pity that I haven't been back to my country for so long, and I don't know what Jihuai likes. I can only bring a Rolex from Switzerland to show my sincerity."

No one present is a fool.

They all heard her mocking me.

And maybe to everyone, except for Jihuai, I am just "a woman who follows Jihuai."

It seems that in their eyes, I am not worthy of being Jihuai's girlfriend at all.

Upon hearing this, Jihuai frowned, about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhao An: "Hey, Jihuai, it's no fun protecting her like this."

"Manqi grew up with us since childhood, she's straightforward and always speaks like this."

"Moreover, it was clearly Xie Tangtang who snatched someone's place, Manqi has already been wronged enough."

Zhao An is Jihuai's childhood friend.

He is also a firm supporter of the Xus and Zhous.

In his mind, he has always believed that Xu Manqi will definitely marry Jihuai in the end.

But for their kind of rich young masters, not finding a suitable partner is not very realistic.

So in his view, my existence is a grievance to Xu Manqi.

Without waiting for Jihuai to retort, Zhao An directly hammered him.

"And if you bully Manqi for her, Auntie will definitely not be happy."

Sure enough, when Jihuai heard this, he fell silent.

Jihuai's mother is his weak spot.

The Zhou family holds a high position, with strict family style, and naturally the daughter-in-law must be a suitable match.

But Jihuai's mother doesn't care about her son's casual relationships as long as he doesn't take them seriously.

A little sparrow like me is not seen in a good light by Jihuai's mother.

But in the last life, I was with Jihuai for eight years, and he cherished me in the palm of his hand, giving me whatever I wanted. I wanted to study, so he sent me to the best school. I wanted to enter the entertainment industry, so he offered the best resources.

So much so that in the last life, I became a top celebrity in just three years.

People in the industry looked down on me, but also envied me.

So much so that in the end, even Jihuai's mother began to be wary of me.

She was afraid that Jihuai had genuine feelings for me.

She once gave me a check and told me to leave the country.

I didn't agree.

At that time, I was simply naive.

I really thought that because Jihuai liked me, I could marry him and spend the rest of my life with him.

But as soon as his mother spoke.

He changed.

He retreated.

He chose to be engaged to Xu Manqi.

Our ending was already doomed.

Not a proper match.
