His Paid Girlfriend

I came from a small county town, and through my own efforts over the years, I had finally managed to establish myself in a big city like Rethuesia.

Although I was already twenty-seven and still unmarried, But I did have a few admirers.

I was not the type of woman who relied on men. This might be because my father passed away when I was young, and my mother favored my younger brother, leaving me to rely on myself to get to where I was today.

So, I had made up my mind to pay the down payment for a house myself in the coming months, right here in Rethuesia, a place where I never imagined I would belong.

I had almost saved enough for the down payment, and now I was just waiting for the property I liked to be listed.

I shared my plan to buy a house in Rethuesia with my mother back home, and at first, she agreed. But who would have thought that a week later, my mother called again.

On the phone, she completely changed her attitude and began to strongly oppose my plan to buy a house here, even breaking down in tears over the phone.

I was very confused, wondering what could have caused my mother's attitude to change so dramatically.

When I went to the train station to pick up my mother and others, who had come to Rethuesia specifically to stop me, I finally understood. It was all orchestrated by my brother's girlfriend!

My father passed away unexpectedly when I was in my first year of high school. My mother, an ordinary laborer little formal education, raised my brother and me on her own.

Since my father's death, I became exceptionally mature. This wasn't just my own assessment, but what the neighbors in our county town praised.

From my first year of high school, I started doing odd jobs in the town to earn some tuition money. Later, I got into a university in Rethuesia and left my hometown. After graduating, I chose to stay in Rethuesia.
