    Zhou Zhenting spent twenty million to buy me out as his kept woman. He hates children, yet I tested positive for pregnancy. On the way to the hospital, I tentatively asked him, "What if I'm really pregnant?" He looked at me with a dark expression; the answer was obvious. Sitting in the car, I touched my flat stomach, my heart turning cold. After Zhou Zhenting fell for the poor college girl, he showered her with money and attention, even ordering me to wait downstairs during their dates and not appear in front of her. The reason? The girl was naive and prone to jealousy. Someone asked him, "What about Jiang Yan? She's been with you for three years and you haven't given her a title?" Zhou Zhenting smiled coldly, "Just a little bird for fun, I'm tired of her." Great! How did he know I was tired of her too? I packed my bags that very night and planned a fake death. Jiang Yan picked up her documents and knocked on the HR manager's office door. "Hello, I'm here to resign."
