Chapter 14: Leaving Zhang Yan, I’m Living a Better Life
Li Chuchu sighed, looking exhausted. "Mom, I really don't feel like shopping. If you want to, just go by yourself. Why do you have to drag me along?"
"I'm doing this for your own good," Sun Min said unhappily. "Is it really worth it to be this upset over a useless man?"
"I'm telling you, breaking up with Zhang Yan was absolutely a good thing for you. After you left yesterday, I used your phone to call Li Minghui."
"What? Mom, why did you call Li Minghui?!" Li Chuchu immediately frowned upon hearing this.
Deep down, she knew that staying in touch with Li Minghui was wrong.
But since she wasn't willing to admit her mistake, she had been deliberately distancing herself from him.
"Why? Of course, to bring him over and match you two up!" Sun Min's mood instantly brightened as she brought up the topic.
"I talked to Li Minghui yesterday. He recently started a business in Shanghai. Although it's still new, things are going really well. Even without his family's help, he's bound to succeed."
"I also told him about your breakup with Zhang Yan. He said he feels really guilty about it, so he's coming from Shanghai in a couple of days to see you."
"From what he said, it seems like he wants to rekindle things with you. He even mentioned opening a branch in Haicheng, and he plans to make you the general manager!"
After hearing this, Li Chuchu inexplicably felt a little better.
She thought to herself, *That's right, breaking up with Zhang Yan was definitely his loss!*
A man who immediately went to marry his ex-girlfriend after breaking up with her—what kind of person could he be?
She couldn't let this bring her down forever. Hadn't she told herself yesterday that she would prove to Zhang Yan that she could live a much better life without him?
Although she no longer had the same feelings for Li Minghui as she once did for Zhang Yan, she didn't mind having Li Minghui show his affection for her.
She just wanted to prove that even without Zhang Yan, better men would still pursue her!
"Alright, Mom, I'll listen to you. It really isn't worth being sad for so long over Zhang Yan!" Li Chuchu took a deep breath and steadied herself.
"That's more like it!" Sun Min immediately smiled. "Exactly! Who is Zhang Yan anyway? Just some poor, pathetic kid—how could he ever be worthy of you?"
"Just wait, one day he'll come crawling back, begging you to take him back. But by then, you might not even look at him anymore, because Li Minghui will be a multimillionaire, and Zhang Yan won't even be able to compare to him!"
Imagining this future, Li Chuchu felt a sense of satisfaction.
Seeing that her daughter's mood had improved, Sun Min happily linked arms with her and said, "Come on, I brought you here today for a reason."
"This is the most high-end jewelry district in Haicheng. Let's take our time and pick something out today. When Li Minghui arrives, he'll need to get you a gift, right? He can buy it for you here."
"With Li Minghui buying you jewelry, you'll have something to show off on social media. Just think about how envious your friends will be."
Li Chuchu thought that made sense. And best of all, Zhang Yan might even see it.
That way, he would know that she was living a much better life without him.
Feeling rejuvenated, Li Chuchu decided to browse the jewelry stores with Sun Min.
Even if they weren't buying anything now, trying things on would still be fun.
And when Li Minghui arrived in a few days, she could simply pick out whatever she liked and have him buy it for her.
After all, she had lent him money to start his business and even broke up with her boyfriend because of it. Didn't Li Minghui owe her something in return?
The mother and daughter shopped from store to store, keeping the sales assistants busy.
Especially Sun Min—she had no intention of buying anything, yet she kept insisting that the staff take out various pieces for her to try on.
After a long while, by coincidence, they spotted Zhang Yan on the same floor.
At that moment, Zhang Yan was also browsing the jewelry stores, looking for a gift for Shen Qing. In the end, he settled on a Cartier boutique.
Cartier was a world-renowned luxury jewelry brand, specializing in pieces that symbolized love.
Zhang Yan had heard about it by chance from Yang Tianhua, who had once wanted to buy a Cartier wedding band for his wife but couldn't afford it.
Cartier's jewelry was undeniably beautiful and classy.
But it had one major drawback—it was incredibly expensive.
