Chapter 4

I returned to school and changed my phone number.

After a long time, one day I suddenly received a call from the HR department of Tiansheng Company in my dorm room. They asked about my current situation and said there was a new internship vacancy, considering if I wanted to go back? It was the kind that could be converted to a full-time position after graduation by signing a tripartite agreement.

I laughed and said they had the wrong number.

The HR manager on the other end was stunned for a moment, saying it shouldn't be wrong, that the name and photo matched.

During the less than two months I worked at Tiansheng, all the addresses and contact information I provided were fake.

To be able to call my dorm room, they must have put in quite some effort.

But Adrian was too tough to handle, so I decided to choose his weak spot instead.

As I was about to graduate from university, I met Jason's parents once. Jason was known as the campus playboy and was the only son in his family.

His mother was no match for him. After a bit of fuss from Jason, she softened and agreed to our relationship. She probably thought it was just dating anyway.

Jason liked me for three reasons: first, my face; second, my grades; and third, my innocence.

He said I was the only girl he had met who was this beautiful yet had such a clean record when it came to hotel stays. I was also the only beautiful girl he had seen doing such hard work as supermarket promotions.

Of course, if I hadn't known he would go to that supermarket to buy things, that his off-campus apartment was right next to that supermarket, why would I waste half a day doing promotions there with natural makeup?

From before I met Jason, I knew exactly what I was doing.

He loved to play around, a butterfly among flowers, hating constraints and calculations. He thought he had spent countless efforts to pursue me and cherished me immensely.

Little did he know that those chance encounters and perfectly timed meetings, even the image of me that he liked, I had studied carefully beforehand.

I planned to find a way to settle the marriage when he graduated, and then meet all of his family.

But things happened a bit earlier than expected.

One day, I was having dinner with Jason at a restaurant when his phone suddenly rang. He answered it, looking around, then waved to someone on the other side.

Following his gaze, I saw his uncle, my former boss, Adrian Evans, who had his arm around Jason affectionately in that photo.

Adrian was dressed formally tonight, with a well-dressed female companion. His gaze moved from his nephew Jason to me.

Jason hurriedly introduced me. I looked at Adrian and smiled gently.

He made a sound of acknowledgment: "Oh, so it's Miss Lily?"

His female companion asked him with a hint of jealousy: "You know each other?"

Adrian said: "I happened to hear from my sister-in-law that Jason has a very beautiful girlfriend surnamed Jiang."

This was a cover-up. Jason's mother hated me to death, and probably only cursed me as a vixen and schemer when she mentioned me.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Adrian and his companion prepared to leave. Jason said to me: "That's the uncle I told you about, the one on the magazine cover last time."

I shook my head, pretending to be clueless: "Oh, I don't remember."

Jason pinched my face and laughed: "Well, you're face-blind. You probably don't remember anyone except me."

Adrian's footsteps slowed for a moment.
