Dream Reading

My boyfriend offended an investor, and to make amends, I, who am allergic to alcohol, was forced to drink glass after glass of white liquor.
But when I was in unbearable pain, I heard his assistant say: "Brother Huai, I was the one who offended the investor, I should be the one apologizing. It's not right to let Sister bear the drinking and take the fall for me."
Xu Huai's response made me feel like I had fallen into an icy abyss: "You're so innocent, you shouldn't be tainted by the commercial world. Let her handle apologies like these."
At that moment, I realized. In Xu Huai's heart, I had always been a tool to take the blame for his assistant.
And now, I had been deceived nine times to take the fall for her.
The first time I took the blame for Lin Mo was on her first day at work when she messed up an important company project. Xu Huai took the responsibility upon himself, and I, enduring discomfort during my period, ran all over to maintain client relations. After the project ended, I fell ill.
The second time I took the blame for Lin Mo, she lost a confidential document. Again, Xu Huai took the responsibility, and I, with a 40°C fever, didn't sleep for a day and a night to recover the data loss, but I was exhausted to the point of spitting blood.
The third time I took the blame for Lin Mo, she drove under the influence, causing a traffic accident. Xu Huai called me to the scene, and I compensated and apologized for him, even kneeling to admit my mistake.
...
That day, I sobered up in the cold wind and decided to leave him forever.
But after I left, Xu Huai knelt in the airport hall, crying and begging me to come back.

My Boyfriend Tricked Me into Taking the Fall for Lin Mo 18 Times

After returning home, I lay weakly on the bed and sent my mom a text: [Mom, I miss you]


I stared at the chat window with my mom, but no reply came.


The anticipation in my heart gradually turned cold.


Eleven years ago, for dreams, for love.


Ignoring my mom's plea, I came to Beijing with Xu Huai to struggle.


And now, I just want to completely escape this place, escape Xu Huai, escape this ridiculous dream.


Five minutes later, my mom called me on a video call.


Seeing her half-whitened hair, I suddenly realized how irresponsible it was of me to leave home against my parents' wishes back then, and my nose tingled with emotion.


"What's wrong, Niannian? Are you being mistreated over there?"


I shook my head and faked a relaxed smile: "I miss you, Mom, I want to go home."


But as I smiled, tears involuntarily rolled down my face, suppressed sobs escaped my throat, as if trying to cry out all the grievances and pain.


My mom's expression froze for a moment, and then she shed a tear too: "Niannian, come home, Mom misses you too."


After hanging up, my mom sent a screenshot.


She booked a flight ticket for me to go home in two days.


Indeed, home will always be the warmest harbor.


I lay on the coffee table and began writing my resignation letter.


There's nothing here worth holding onto anymore.


After submitting the resignation letter to the company email, Xu Huai called.


"Momo is feeling a bit unwell, I need to stay to take care of her, I won't be coming back tonight."


I simply replied with a hmm, hung up the phone, and tossed it aside.


Beijing's winter is so cold, I don't like Beijing, and I no longer like Xu Huai.
