Two men walked side by side into the office.

One of them looked exquisite and elegant and with a classy disposition, like a viburnum tree, and yet, radiated a mild charm, like nephrite jade.

The other was handsome and refined, a gentleman with a learned aura, beaming with charisma and grace.

Two of them stood alongside each other, equally matched!

These two were Zhong Rufeng and Chu Jingnan.

Jiang Ruoyin looked at them, surprised, her small face dyed a rouge-like red from agitation. “President Zhong, you’ve already graduated from Lan Feng—are you here to do handover with the new president?” Saying which, she looked at the handsome and graceful man beside him. “Senior Chu, are you the new president this round?”

The student union was supposed to have elected the new president by the end of the last school term. However, having been the president for two years, Zhong Rufeng had accumulated massive influence and support, and everyone couldn’t come to a consensus on the new president. Thus, the matter had been delayed until the start of the new term, when the third voting for the election of the new president was held.

Chu Jingnan stood at the entrance with his back facing the light. Looking towards the light at him, Wen Xinya’s eyes seemed to be stung by the light shining into the room from outside, causing them discomfort.

He was still as tall and big—she needed to look up in order to see his face clearly.

However, looking up at such a height, you could never see through one’s true emotions and expressions.

In her previous lifetime, she had met Chu Jingnan in university. Then, she had been lugging her heavy suitcase when she bumped into him. Not only had he not reprimanded her, he had instead helped her with her suitcase—that graceful disposition of a gentleman had instantly captured her heart!

After which, she had started to pursue him fiercely. However, he had always been consistent towards her from the start to the end—keeping a slight distance without rejection, yet with a tinge of ambiguity, always giving her a trace of hope.

And she, in order to get into his good books, had often brought him to all sorts of high-class parties. Gradually, his circle had expanded and he became good friends with many people in the circle. Eventually… he had been exposed as the illegitimate son of one of the big four families, the Xiao Family, was received back to the Xiao Family by Old Mr. Xiao and changed his surname to Xiao.

Thereafter… he had drifted apart from, and even kept a distance from her!

And then she had seen him openly attending all sorts of parties and events with Xia Ruya. He had even personally acknowledged Xia Ruya as his girlfriend, the woman he loved the most.

Soon after, Old Mr. Xiao had died, and a shocking case of fighting for the estate burst in the Xiao Family. Chu Jingnan had made use of his own connections, and together with Xia Ruya’s help, won the rights as the heir of the Xiao Family, controlling the entire Xiao Corporation.

This lifetime, she knew that in her previous lifetime, Chu Jingnan had all along treated her like a stepping stone, making use of her status as the eldest daughter of the Wen Family to enter the high society circle, waiting for the opportunity to strike and return to the Xiao Family, so that he could seize the inheritance rights of the Xiao Family. Otherwise, she would have been the biggest fool.

Hilarious… her own self in her previous lifetime had committed desperately, irredeemably to him, keeping him in her thoughts for everything, planning everything for him. However, he had only been making use of her, and when she ceased to be of any use to him, he conveniently kicked her aside and got together with Xia Ruya.
