Li Jie took the contract and looked at the dejected Liang Yan. He hesitated for a few seconds before comforting her. “Miss Liang Yan, the president still cares about you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have offered a hundred million.”

Liang Yan smiled, and her expression became more and more sorrowful.

Money was never what she wanted.

“I don’t need this money,” Liang Yan said. “Take the card from the table and return it to Pei Yu.”

“Are you… unwilling to let go of the president? Or do you think it’s too little?” Li Jie was stunned and did not dare to take the document.

He didn’t know if Liang Yan really didn’t want it or if she was playing hard to get.

“I don’t want anything. I don’t want this house either.” Liang Yan smiled bitterly and took out the bank card that she had prepared in advance. “This is the money he transferred to me over the years, as well as the two million yuan back then. Help me return it to him. Since we’re parting, let’s break cleanly.”

“This…” Li Jie clearly didn’t believe it.

That’s right. Didn’t she become Pei Yu’s lover back then for money? Who would believe that she didn’t want money now?

“Don’t worry, I won’t pester Pei Yu.” Liang Yan’s smile became even more bitter. “I know what to do and what not to do.”

Li Jie did not say anything else. He nodded at Liang Yan, picked up the black card on the table, and turned to leave.

Liang Yan was the only one left in the huge house.

Pei Yu’s aura seemed to still linger in the air.

After a long while, Liang Yan got up and began to pack her things.

She actually did not have many things. Other than a few clothes, there was not much left.

Soon, Liang Yan packed her things and took another deep look at the place where she had lived for five years. Liang Yan placed the key on the table and turned to leave.

She came happily, and left dejectedly. Perhaps it was better tohave not come at all.

After leaving the apartment, Liang Yan carried her luggage and looked at the people coming and going. Suddenly, she didn’t know where to go.

There was no place for her in this vast world.

After a while, Liang Yan took out her phone and transferred the money that Pei Yu had transferred to her over the years back to him.

When he received the notification from the bank, Pei Yu was working on a document.

“What’s going on?” The man’s eyes were cold and expressionless, but Li Jie, who had just rushed back, could clearly feel that the president was unhappy.

After all, he had been with the president for so many years. He still had this bit of judgment.

“Miss Liang Yan said that since you guys are parting, she wants to break cleanly.” Li Jie handed the card and the contract to Pei Yu.

To be honest, Li Jie was also very surprised. At first, he thought that Miss Liang Yan was just putting on a show with the president for money. She only cried because she no longer had a long-term meal ticket in the future. However, he did not expect Miss Liang Yan to really not want these things.

What surprised him even more was that the money that the president had transferred to her for the past five years was actually transferred back to the president without a single cent missing.

Pei Yu frowned. “Did she really say that?”

Li Jie nodded.

After a long silence, Pei Yu put away the rare emotional fluctuations. He looked at the contract and said coldly, “Let her be. You can clean things up.”

Li Jie sighed in his heart. When he thought of Miss Liang Yan’s tear-stained face, he couldn’t bear it and wanted to say something good. “Miss Liang Yan, she…”

Pei Yu frowned slightly and interrupted, “Don’t mention her to me again.”

Li Jie tactfully shut his mouth and left the president’s office, not daring to say anything else.

After Li Jie left, Pei Yu looked at the contract for a long time. He thought of Liang Yan’s bright smile in the morning and felt a little displeased.

It seemed that she did not care about this five-year-long lovers relationship either.

At the thought of this, Pei Yu no longer paid attention to unimportant people and continued to deal with his work.

After leaving the apartment, Liang Yan dragged her luggage and quickly rented a house to move in.

She wanted to seek refuge with her good friend, Hu Die, but she remembered that Hu Die lived with her boyfriend now, so she gave up.

Unlike Pei Yu’s condominium, Liang Yan’s rented apartment was simple. Other than some basic furniture, there was nothing else.

Fortunately, the rent was cheap.

After tidying up the house, it was already evening. Liang Yan turned on her phone and was about to order takeout when she realized that almost all the entertainment sections of the various apps were occupied by Pei Yu.

He occupied the Weibo’s trending topics one after another.

The eye-catching headline instantly pierced Liang Yan’s heart.

[The childhood sweethearts meet again. The first love of the Pei Corporation’s president is actually her!]

Liang Yan opened it with trembling hands.

A blurry photo suddenly appeared in front of her.

The man in the photo was tall and his posture was straight. His facial features were prominant, and he was peerlessly handsome. Even though the image was blurry, it could not hide his handsomeness and nobility.

Who else could it be other than Pei Yu?

In the photo, Pei Yu tilted his head slightly and looked down at the petite and beautiful woman beside him. His usually cold face actually revealed a faint smile for the first time.

It had to be said that the two of them looked very compatible.

What was even more unbelievable to Liang Yan was that the woman in the photo seemed to resemble her.

A ridiculous thought suddenly took root in Liang Yan’s mind.

Did Pei Yu terminate the contract in such a hurry to clear the obstacles around him and welcome his first love back?

Was she just a substitute?

No wonder he was willing to spend a million yuan to buy her back then. It turned out to be like this…

Liang Yan looked at the couple in the photo in a daze and finally woke up.

Pei Yu had never loved her. It had been a stand-in game from the beginning to the end.

After sitting in a daze for a long time, Liang Yan finally came back to her senses. She looked at her phone and smiled bitterly.

In that case, she should give up this ridiculous relationship completely.

Tomorrow, she was going to resign and stay far away from Pei Yu.

The humiliation and pain of being fooled once was enough.
