Chapter 1

The noise in my ears was overwhelming. My hands softened, and my body uncontrollably fell, collapsing onto the throw pillow. The aggrieved sobbing in my ear did not stop.

"Ah Wu, I really don't want to be with him anymore, he's gone too far, boo hoo..."

"Maybe I should stay at your place, after all, you have a spare guest room, you haven't rented it out, right? You did say you'd keep a room for me. Zhou Tao went too far this time, asking me for money, it infuriates me, isn't this just scamming me for money!"

Listening to Li Xiaoxiao's complaints, my heart couldn't help but surge with turbulent waves.

The matter Li Xiaoxiao spoke of happened two years ago when I was hacked to death by someone her boyfriend had hired.

She and Zhou Tao met in a streaming room. Zhou Tao had gifted her nearly a million; she was gleefully capturing Zhou Tao and became his girlfriend. Upon learning that Zhou Tao was a second-generation rich kid, she became even more demanding, insisting that Zhou Tao spend 5200 on her every day to be satisfied.

She had gone to great lengths years ago to reel in this big fish, pretending to be a pure-hearted girl and always asking me to cover for her.

I heard her emotionally declare that she wanted a stable life and was committed to Zhou Tao, so I agreed to help her cover up the truth.

Unexpectedly, she betrayed me step by step. Each thing she indulged in out of loneliness was pinned on me. I ultimately became the villain in her story, the one who led her astray, which heralded my downfall.

Just thinking about it made me uncontrollably nauseous, almost cursing aloud.

She had repeatedly claimed she was lonely and wanted my company. I thought my profession allowed me freedom, that renting a house anywhere was the same, so I moved to the upscale neighborhood to live alone near her.

Moreover, because she frequently cried about being homeless, I gave her a spare key to ease her mind, reserved a guest room, and bore the high rent alone. I never imagined I had let a wolf into the house.

Hearing Li Xiaoxiao unsatisfied, shouting, "Ah Wu, I'm talking to you, did you hear me?"

A dark gleam flashed in my eyes.

In this lifetime, Li Xiaoxiao better forget about stepping over me to rise again; she should remain a sewer rat forever!
