Breakup and still want to be beautiful on your own? A crazy tycoon seduces and climbs to the top.

An Ying chuckled.

I really want to!

After hanging up the phone, she immediately got up to wash and put on makeup.

To be honest, Fu Chengli and An Ying are also senior and junior brothers.

Fu Chengli entered Beicheng University with the highest score in the entire school. In addition, he had a face that could captivate everyone, so he was an eye-catching presence wherever he went and once became a legendary figure at Beicheng University.

By the time An Ying was admitted, he had already graduated for a long time.

There are many wealthy people in Beicheng. These wealthy children have access to a lot of learning resources and can find excellent teachers to tutor them. If their grades are poor and they really can't pass the exam, they can also take shortcuts by exploiting the rules.

An Ying is a girl who came from out of town, with no one to rely on, her mother deceased, her father neglecting her, and she has to constantly be on guard against being bullied by her stepmother and stepsister.

She can only rely on herself.

After leaving Nancheng, her personality became much more restrained because of that incident.

Every day in Beicheng, throughout her six years of junior and senior high school, she spent her time in boarding school, studying and studying.

Fortunately, her efforts paid off.

Shortly after starting university, she met Lu Qiyao. At that time, she was eighteen and he was twenty, both at the best age.

That year, under the century-old locust tree on the university campus, Lu Qiyao held her hand and confessed his love.

"Xiao Ying, I, Lu Qiyao, will only have one wife in this lifetime, and that is you."

What a beautiful vow! How could an eighteen-year-old girl, who had lived a lonely and isolated life and only knew how to bury herself in her studies, not be moved?

An Ying once longed for a home.

She once thought she could spend her whole life with the man in front of her.

They say time is the best test of true feelings.

Seven years have passed, and Lu Qiyao is no longer able to fulfill his promise from back then to marry another woman.

An Ying also resolved to forget everything and start anew.

She no longer dared to entrust her true feelings to just anyone.

Interestingly, An Ying remembers that when she was a junior in college, the school suddenly built a new teaching building and dug up the old locust tree.

See, even century-old trees have met this fate.

Men's promises are all bullshit.

Upon arriving at the centennial celebration venue, the host was still passionately recounting the school's 100-year history. The atmosphere in the venue was warm and harmonious, with many outstanding alumni whispering and chatting amongst themselves.

An Ying was already quite late. Not wanting to disturb the host, she crouched down as she entered the venue and casually found a seat to sit down.

As soon as she sat down, she suddenly sensed that something was off about the atmosphere around her.

A few people in the front row suddenly turned around, tilted their heads back and stared at her, their faces full of confusion.

These people's faces seem familiar, a little bit familiar, but I can't quite place them.

Their gazes lingered repeatedly on An Ying and the people around her.

An Ying looked a little confused and turned her head to look in the direction of their gaze.

She was stunned.

The man beside her was Lu Qiyao.

Fate is so unpredictable; it gives you exactly what you don't want to see.

He was dressed very formally today; his sharp suit made him look even more handsome, his striped tie was neatly tied, and he wore the exclusive badge of the Beicheng University Elite Alumni Club on his chest.

Beicheng University has been established for a century, and with so many students coming and going, very few can enter this elite alumni club.

Among them, only a handful of people can obtain this badge; they are the elite of the elite.

How did Lu Qiyao obtain this badge?

That year, An Ying helped him secure a major international deal. Due to the huge success of this project, the Lu Group reversed its slump of the previous few years, and Lu Qiyao successfully became the group's president. He then entered the elite alumni club of Beicheng University and became a rising star in the business world.

Logically speaking, An Ying should be the biggest contributor.

However, during that time, Lu's mother kept causing trouble, first by refusing to see An Ying.

Later, Lu Qiyao wanted to give An Ying a car, but his mother objected again.

She seemed afraid that An Ying would steal the credit from her son.

An Ying felt wronged at that time.

Lu Qiyao was so engrossed in the joy of success that he paid no attention to An Ying's feelings and only gave her a few perfunctory words.

"She's so old, why are you arguing with her?"

"Don't worry, if I do well, will you be left behind in the future?"

Now, An Ying doesn't feel wronged at all; she only feels that she was stupid.

He should have taken advantage of his achievements and asked for a large bonus back then.

An Ying always considered his feelings and was afraid of causing discord between her and her son.

Unfortunately, her thoughtfulness only emboldened the mother and son to take advantage of her.

Many women, despite their own outstanding abilities, willingly relinquish their limelight to men, silently supporting them. Yet, men show no gratitude; they simply believe it's what you should do.

An Ying will never make such a foolish mistake again. In the future, she will firmly hold the glory that belongs to her in her own hands.

An Ying gave an awkward laugh and got up to leave.

Suddenly I felt a tightness in my wrist.

An Ying looked down and was caught off guard by Lu Qiyao's gaze.

Lu Qiyao's large hand gripped her wrist. An Ying tried to break free, but couldn't shake him off.

His eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

"Don't leave, sit down."
