Our breakup was ugly.
The year he loved me most, I took $500,000 from his mother, aborted our child, and betrayed him.
He knelt outside the operating room, crying and begging me not to be so cruel.
He said he would hate me for the rest of his life.
Six years later, when we met again, he had found a beautiful girlfriend from a similar background and was about to get married.
I came to him in a desperate state, wanting to borrow some money.
He forced me to attend his wedding, wanting me to witness him marrying another woman.
He asked me if I regretted it.
What he didn't know was that I had raised our child alone.
That child was sick and dying.

Six years after our breakup, I encountered Ryan again at the lowest point of my life.
It was at a class reunion, and no one expected Ryan to show up.
Someone joked, "Mr. CEO never keeps in touch with us. Did you suddenly decide to come to the reunion this year because you heard Lily was coming? Are you still thinking about her?"
I was sitting in the corner when my back suddenly stiffened. I looked up to see Ryan with a cigarette in his mouth, coldly staring at me.
Everyone knew how much Ryan used to love me.
He was the son of a wealthy family, but he fell in love with me at first sight.
That year, he cut ties with his family for me, giving up power and money, desperately wanting to be with me.

Over and over again, he cried and begged me: "Baby, baby! I'll work hard, earn money, support our family. I'll definitely earn many, many times $500,000, all for you to spend, okay?"
"I'm begging you, don't leave me, and don't give up on our child..."
I lay on the operating table, biting my lip hard to keep from crying out.
Separated by a small door, I heard Ryan say he would hate me for the rest of his life.

No one knew how ugly things got when Ryan and I broke up.
Someone pushed me towards Ryan, laughing and asking him: "Mr. CEO used to love Lily so much he'd give up his life for her. How could you bear to let her go?"
Everyone was clamoring for us to get back together.
Ryan's friend glanced at me, smirking, and suddenly spoke up: "What kind of woman can't Mr. CEO get? Who does Lily think she is? Why should my bro be hung up on her?"
He said there was a woman who had been with Ryan for three years.
That woman was gentler than me, prettier than me, more suitable to be Ryan's girlfriend.
Ryan had been dating her for three years. His friends all called that girl "sister-in-law," and it was said they were about to get married.
