After the Breakup, I Tearfully Became a Rich Woman

(This is a messy draft, so I don't recommend reading it. Bows~)

It took Lin Chujian dying once to realize how foolish she'd been.

She had actually drained her savings to spend money on a powerful big shot.

The big shot, Ji Feng, was a student Lin Chujian's parents had supported when she was little.

But this seemingly pitiful student was actually the youngest son of a business tycoon, who had been heavily oppressed back then.

Lin Chujian had had a crush on Ji Feng since her school days. When she learned that he had risen to become a big shot, she went even further in her efforts to get herself into trouble.

The result was predictable:

Out of regard for what her parents had done for him, Ji Feng grudgingly gave her the title of girlfriend in name only.

In reality, Lin Chujian could hardly even manage to see him.

After being reborn, Lin Chujian finally came to her senses: Wasn't spending money on herself so much better?

If nothing else, finding some obedient young puppy would be better than paying to suffer like she had before.

Counting the money she'd thrown away, Lin Chujian felt her heart ache.

Fortunately, at least some of her savings were still left.

Lin Chujian immediately decided that from now on, she would focus on making money!

Just a few days after moving out of the Ji family home, Lin Chujian saw Ji Feng waiting outside her own door.

Lin Chujian, wholly absorbed in making money and looking travel-worn, asked, "What's wrong? Did I forget to take something with me?"

In a hurry, Lin Chujian added, "It would've been so much easier to have it delivered. Why come all the way here yourself?"

Seeing Ji Feng stand there in silence with a cold expression, Lin Chujian suddenly thought of something. "If we're going to cut ties for good, do you want me to pay back all the money I spent on you?"

Her heart raced and her hands trembled with excitement. "Big shot, remember to include the interest."
