I scrimped and saved to put together 130,000 yuan to help my boyfriend’s company go public.
Working myself to the bone gave me acute kidney failure. Just one minute before I had to pay for surgery, Deng Yuan transferred the remaining 30,000 yuan out of my account using the shared payment feature.
Clutching my crumpled medical records, I went to find him.
Instead, I saw Deng Yuan holding his childhood sweetheart, Gu Qian, close.
He gently took a diamond necklace out of a gift box and put it on her.
His business partner stood nearby, obsequiously raising a glass to him.
“Mr. Deng, you took all the money. What about Su Yao?”
Deng Yuan put an arm around Gu Qian and laughed.
“She’s faking her illness. Don’t worry about her.”
“I just bought Qianqian a necklace worth 300 million. We can use that 30,000 to buy a hair accessory to match it.”
Deng Yuan pulled out his wallet and flicked it open. Banknotes fluttered down like snowflakes.
“Eat and drink well tonight, guys. Put the whole bill on me!”
The clinking glasses made my body tremble, and my heart skipped several beats.
