Chapter 1The Billionaire's Generous Proposal

When the "Crown Prince" of the city's elite circle pursued me, he gave me BMWs and luxury villas.

My best friend said relying on a man is worse than relying on yourself. I believed her words, decisively rejected the Crown Prince, and returned all those gifts.

Heartbroken, the Crown Prince went abroad and died in a conflict zone.

As a result, I lived my whole life as an ordinary white-collar worker, working myself to death for a monthly salary of a few thousand dollars.

It wasn't until I fell seriously ill from overwork that my best friend said to me: "You were destined to soar, but who told you to be stupid enough to believe whatever I said? Seeing you living worse than me makes me feel balanced."

As I spat blood in anger, she took the opportunity to pull my oxygen tube, letting me die in the hospital bed.

Turns out, her words were never for my own good.

After rebirth, looking at the Crown Prince who was about to buy me a luxury villa, I smiled sweetly: "Let's date!"

Refusing money, I was indeed a fool in my past life.

As for my best friend, I want her to be insanely jealous but unable to do anything to me.

"Gardenia (Zhizhi), do you like this house?" Julian King reached out to open the car door for me, pointing at the European-style villa in front of us, asking with a smile, his eyes full of joy expecting praise.

"You want to give it to me?" I raised my head blankly, looking at the vivid Julian in front of me and my own fair and tender hands, realizing with hindsight that I had actually been reborn.

Reborn to the time when I hadn't rejected Julian yet, and he hadn't gone abroad heartbroken and died in a conflict zone.

At this moment, his smile was warm and gentle, like a ray of warm sun.

The thing I regretted most in my past life wasn't rejecting the immense wealth, but regretting letting such a deeply affectionate person die abroad because of my rejection. It could be said he died because of me.

I thought more than once, if I hadn't chosen to reject him back then, he wouldn't have died young abroad.

"Yes, this way you don't have to worry about being kicked out by the landlord every day. It's not a loan, I'll choose to pay in full so you have no worries, okay?" Julian asked me cautiously, afraid I would be angry with him and ignore him.

Actually, he didn't need to be so careful with me. He never owed me anything. Instead, I accepted his kindness again and again but refused to agree to be with him for a long time.

Just because my best friend, Chloe Xu, would brainwash me under the banner of being for my own good every time Julian showed kindness to me.

"A rich young master like Julian can't be sincere to you."

"Relying on a man is worse than relying on yourself. Reject him! We want to be independent women."
