How dare he?!

Wen Man lost her job, but she didn't want Aunt Ruan to worry, so she didn't mention it. She sat alone on a park bench, lost in thought. The sun was shining, but Wen Man felt cold.

She reviewed the household finances. A large payment to Jiang Ming Lawer was due soon, and additional expenses for her father needed to be covered. There wasn't much money left at home.

Wen Man gently pulled out a thin chain from her neck, adorned with a light pink diamond. She stroked it for a long time before gritting her teeth and going to a pawnshop. The manager examined it for a while and offered a price: "If it's a pawn, I can give you 60,000 yuan. But if it's a sale, how about 200,000yuan?"

The pink diamond was worth at least 500,000 yuan, but Wen Man didn't care. She needed the money!

With a bitter smile, Wen Man said, "A sale it is."

She took the 200,000 yuan check, pooled the remaining money at home, and paid the law firm. As she was leaving, Bai Wei called.

Bai Wei had already heard from others that Wen Man lost her job. She said, "Where are you? Let me treat you to a meal."

Wen Man couldn't go home, so she agreed.

Bai Wei took her to a hotpot restaurant. Amidst the steaming pots, Bai Wei cursed while placing meat rolls into the spicy broth: "That bitch Ding Cheng, I disliked her since college! She hooks up with any man who's a little bit successful. Back then, when you were with Gu Changqing, she tried to seduce him several times."

Wen Man was momentarily taken aback but then smiled faintly. "Well, she finally got what she wanted." She recounted Ding Cheng's words to Bai Wei.

Bai Wei was stunned for a moment, then erupted again: "Damn! Who does she think she is, and Gu Changqing is a real bastard! They're perfect for each other."

Fearing Wen Man might be upset, Bai Wei tried to comfort her: "Don't mind them! Gu Changqing is with Huo Mingzhu now, so his mess doesn't concern us."

Wen Man suddenly remembered what Huo Shaoting had said, that Huo Mingzhu had once attempted suicide because of Gu Changqing... Huo Shaoting probably knew all about Gu Changqing's affairs but chose to turn a blind eye.

Lost in thought, Wen Man was nudged by Bai Wei: "Don't be sad over that jerk." Wen Man shook her head, "I won't."

Bai Wei sighed, "Exactly! Money is more important than those scumbags."

Worried about Wen Man's finances, Bai Wei took out a bank card, but Wen Man refused, saying softly, "I don't need it for now."

Bai Wei didn't believe her.

Wen Man placed a piece of meat in her bowl, saying quietly, "I sold the necklace." Bai Wei was stunned.

After a long pause, she finally said with a trembling voice, "You silly girl, why didn't you discuss it with me? That was the only thing your mother left you, and you never took it off since you were little."

Wen Man patted her hand, about to comfort her when her phone rang. It was the manager from her part-time restaurant job.

Wen Man answered, listened for a few moments, then slowly put down the phone and told Bai Wei, "I was fired from the restaurant."

Bai Wei was furious.

"It must be Gu Changqing again! Why can't he leave you alone? Wen Man, let's go find him and demand justice! That scumbag deceived you for four years and now wants to ruin you!"

Wen Man stopped Bai Wei.

She begged Bai Wei not to go because Wen Man knew Gu Changqing did all this to force her into becoming his mistress.

Bai Wei cried in anger, "How can Gu Changqing treat you like this! He's not only engaged with you but also involved with that bitch Ding Cheng! He's filthy and still dares to want you back?"
