"I am in a good mental state now, I won't have any negative thoughts anymore, and I have moved to a new place. Thank you for the concerns from the community. You have been really helpful."

After hanging up the phone that delivered warmth from the community, I felt embarrassed to the point where my scalp was tingling.

I went to the police station specifically to deliver a thank-you letter and a banner to the police officers. I set the photo taken during the banner presentation as my phone wallpaper, forcing myself to remember the feeling of being socially dead and reminding myself to not suffer from emotional pain anymore.

A woman needs to focus on her career!

Just as my career was starting to take off, I received a call from my mother:

"Zhou Yang, now that you have grown wings, you didn't even tell your parents about starting a business. If your classmate hadn't borrowed money from you and accidentally let it slip, your father and I would still be in the dark!

"What are you thinking? After six years of dating, you broke up just like that and didn't even get a penny from that scumbag. If it weren't for your father stopping me, I would definitely confront your terrible boyfriend."

"Now you're starting a business again, investing all the money you earned from being an internet celebrity into selling clothes. Do you know how tough the competition is in this industry? You shouldn't always come up with one thing after another. Why don't you make use of your youth and beauty to find a rich person and get married?"

She scolded me non-stop, and I had a numb expression on my face:

"Didn't I already get married in my hometown?

"Yes, you have always been so shameless. All the embarrassing incidents in our family were caused by me. Do you know how it feels to be pointed at and scolded by others? I don't want to rely on others to ask for money for the rest of my life. Is it wrong for me to want to earn a living with my own money?"

There was a moment of silence on the phone.

"I can't control you anymore. We don't have much money at home, and no one will bail you out. Don't come back crying if you lose money."

Half an hour after the call ended, the bank notification showed a deposit of 50,000 yuan.

[Don't borrow from others, we have given you a total of 600,000 yuan. This is your dowry money, your father is worried about you, so he contributed a little. The remaining money in our family is for our retirement, don't think about it.]

Moved and grateful, I replied respectfully:

[Thank you, Mom and Dad. However, only 50,000 yuan has been deposited.]

My mother's reply came, accompanied by her anger:

[The bank has a daily transfer limit now. Only 50,000 yuan can be transferred in one day. Can't you use your brain a little?]

I, who had no brains, didn't dare to argue anymore. Unexpectedly, it was my parents, as well as the fake wedding that infuriated me, who ultimately helped me solve my urgent need.

It seemed that my parents had always been like this, their love was not enough to allow me to grow without any resentment, but it was also difficult for me to escape when they offered too much.

Recently, the news of the marriage between the Zheng and Gu families in City B had been making a lot of noise.

[Powerful alliance! The marriage between the Zheng and Gu families will signify cooperation in which business sectors?]

[The young master of the Zheng family is at odds with his illegitimate older brother, and the Miss of the Gu family, Gu Shihao, is about to enter the picture.]

I could now calmly close the news prompt box. I had no interest in my ex-boyfriend's personal life anymore and focused all my energy on my own career.

I used to study fashion design, and when my internet career started to take off, I began to create a clothing brand.

However, at that time, I invested too much of my energy and couldn't balance my personal life, so I chose to give up.

Indeed, the master was right, Zheng Jiwang defeated me.

Now, I have come to City H, the renowned fashion capital, and started a cross-border fast fashion brand.

In terms of product quality, domestic clothing is beautiful and affordable. In terms of sales, short video platforms have been highly successful overseas, undoubtedly becoming a new sales window. The past experience as an internet celebrity has allowed me to take fewer detours.

My company is rapidly growing, and it can no longer be sustained solely by my own investment. I need to find a reliable external investor.

I have met several investment institutions within a short period of time and have been busy to the point of being overwhelmed. Unexpectedly, someone unexpected arrived—Miss Gu Shi, the daughter of the Gu family.
