It was Jingzhe, and a torrential downpour swept through Jiangcheng.
Yu Qingqing stood by the bus stop with an umbrella. Her white skirt was soaked by the rain and clung to her calves.
Rain ran down her legs and seeped into her white canvas shoes.
A black Maybach suddenly pulled up in front of her. The window rolled down, and Li Ye looked at her impassively. “Get in.”
That was the most wretched moment of Yu Qingqing's life. She was so poor she had only two yuan to her name.
Later, she went to live with Li Ye, transforming overnight into Miss Yu, the woman everyone said had climbed up the social ladder and become a phoenix.
*
Everyone in Jiangcheng's upper circles knows that Li Ye has a Miss Yu by his side. She's beautiful and knows how to get her way, and for the past three years, she's been the only woman in his life.
But everyone also knows that she and Li Ye will never have a happy ending.
Their social standings are worlds apart. She isn't worthy of becoming Mrs. Li.
When Li Ye is about to get engaged to a wealthy heiress from a family of equal standing, Yu Qingqing offers to leave before he even has to ask.
She knows her place, and Li Ye is generous. He gives her a huge breakup settlement.
Yu Qingqing takes the money and disappears from Jiangcheng.
From then on, Li Ye never sleeps well again.
Three years later, they meet again at a business banquet.
During the dinner, Li Ye hears people address her politely and respectfully: “President Yu.”
Yu Qingqing moves effortlessly among the guests. At last, she walks up to Li Ye, raises her glass to him, and says with a radiant smile, “Thank you for the breakup money you gave me back then. Without it, I wouldn't be where I am today.”
