1: You are a good person (the oddball at the beginning is the female supporting character, the real female lead will appear soon).

Song Yuan never expected that with only ten days left until the wedding, his fiancée, Lin Xueyao, would break off their engagement!

Song Yuan had been preparing for the wedding for a long time, personally writing hundreds of invitations. He wanted to give her a romantic and unforgettable wedding ceremony.

After three years of courtship, they had finally reached this point, and he was filled with anticipation and excitement.

The moment Lin Xueyao proposed breaking off the engagement, he was stunned!

For the past three years, Song Yuan had invested all his energy and finances into Lin Xueyao.

He paid for her father's medical treatment, her brother's schooling, and helped build her family's house... He had almost spent all his savings, contributing money and effort without hesitation.

"Song Yuan, you are a good person, but I don't want to continue with you. Xiao Nianchen is back, and I don't want to have any regrets in my life."

Xiao Nianchen?

Song Yuan let out a low chuckle. He knew Lin Xueyao had a first love, and he thought that as long as he was good enough to her, he could win her heart.

It turned out that three years of affection still couldn't compare to an unexpected arrival.

Song Yuan's heart was pricked by a myriad of memories. In those three years, they had spent every day together, leaving traces of their love in every corner of their room.

Three years; even a small pet would develop feelings, let alone a person.

Song Yuan's emotions were turbulent, yet his expression remained calm.

He wouldn't beg her to stay. A woman whose heart had changed was like a dirty rag to him, not worth it!

However, Song Yuan's silence at that moment made Lin Xueyao mistakenly believe he couldn't handle the blow. She was afraid he would try to entangle her again!

"Song Yuan, I'm truly sorry. I admit you took very good care of me in life, but marriage is not a game, and love alone cannot fill one's stomach."

She glanced at the table laden with dishes Song Yuan had cooked for her, and the birthday cake waiting for her return to light candles, and then hardened her heart, saying,

"After today, I'll be twenty-five, an age where I can have anything I want. I don't want to live an ordinary life with you. Xiao Nianchen just returned to the country and bought a large flat in the CBD commercial district. This is a height you could never reach even if you typed on a keyboard and wrote code until you went bald for a lifetime.

Between a two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment in a community and a large flat in the city center, I choose the latter.

So, let's part amicably. To avoid misunderstandings, let's not contact each other anymore."

She made her intentions clear, speaking frankly and realistically. She was essentially saying he was poor and she was moving on to someone better.

Song Yuan chuckled softly, picked up his phone, and unfriended her right in front of Lin Xueyao.

"Then... goodbye!"

He walked to the entrance to change his shoes when Lin Xueyao suddenly called out to him,

"Song Yuan, don't you have anything you want to say or ask me?"

Song Yuan paused, then left with a 'Happy Birthday' before opening the door and departing decisively.

Lin Xueyao stood silently in the empty living room for a long time, a feeling of vexation rising in her heart.

He just left?

Lin Xueyao suspected that Song Yuan didn't love her at all, and everything before was just an act. That's why he could remain so calm when she proposed breaking up, which was completely different from what she had expected.

She thought Song Yuan would hug her and beg, his eyes red, pleading with her not to leave, or even kneel, asking her for another chance. If that had happened, she might have considered staying with him for one more day.

But he just left, without even a single word of retention!

Scumbag!

Lin Xueyao cursed in her heart and silently bet that he would come begging her within three days.

After all, so many invitations had already been sent out, and all their friends knew their wedding was in a week. Men cared most about face, and Song Yuan was no exception. Being dumped before the wedding, he couldn't afford to lose face.

Lin Xueyao felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart. She dialed her best friend's number,

"Honey, I broke up with Song Yuan, and he actually left without a single word of retention..."

A loud roar came from the other end of the phone,

"What? Song Yuan dared to break up with you? I told you long ago that men are the most calculating creatures. You should spend his money, spend it fiercely. The more he invests, the more he'll cherish you. Why were you trying to save him money?"

Lin Xueyao choked, wondering in her heart, was that why Song Yuan left so readily? He hadn't invested enough, so he wasn't as reluctant to leave.

Her best friend's words seemed not without reason.

"Besides making him hand over his salary, should I have also made him ask his family for a monthly dating allowance?"

The other person cursed,

"Of course! He only gives you tens of thousands a month, and you feel bad for him? It's worse than being a call girl, okay? What man dates without spending a dime? He's freeloading!

How much did he give you as a breakup fee? Is the apartment you're living in now under your name?"

Lin Xueyao was silent for a moment. She should have called her best friend first to discuss a strategy before breaking up. Was it too late to ask for a breakup fee now?

Lin Xueyao's mind was completely muddled. She hadn't thought it through so complicatedly at all. At the time, all she wanted was to cut ties immediately, fearing Song Yuan would pester her.

"Stop scolding me. The house is registered under both our names. He said before that this house was just temporary and he would get a bigger one later, and this one would be for my brother's wedding."

Her best friend sighed,

"Not too bad of a loss. You're too naive! You have to be more realistic when dating. A sweet innocent like you will eventually be cheated of both love and body by men! But that simp Song Yuan will definitely come begging for reconciliation within three days. When he does, take him to get a notarization to remove his name from the property deed and leave only yours!"

Lin Xueyao hung up the phone and fell into deep thought. She had to talk to Song Yuan about this!

...Meanwhile, Song Yuan had called his friend Lu Chi out for a drink at a bar.

Song Yuan was a person who could pick up and let go. Since they broke up, it should be a clean break, and any assets he could retrieve, he definitely would.

Song Yuan was a technical director at a major internet company, and his income was considered upper-middle class by national standards.

However, all the money he earned from work in recent years had been spent on Lin Xueyao. His monthly salary of tens of thousands, plus quarterly and annual bonuses, was almost immediately taken by Lin Xueyao for consumption as soon as it hit his account, leaving nothing each month.

Not only that, but his three million in savings from selling his family's ancestral home, besides paying for his father's medical treatment and building his family's house, was all spent on luxury bags, jewelry, and high-end cosmetics for Lin Xueyao.

All he could save was the apartment he currently lived in.

"I remember your aunt wanted to buy a house in Yuehu Bay. I'm planning to sell mine, five percent below market price. Would you take our aunt to see it?"

Lu Chi looked surprised,

"You're moving? Didn't you say that apartment was for your brother-in-law's wedding in the future? Why the change of heart?"

Song Yuan's heart seized up,

"I'm leaving him nothing! We broke up!"

Lu Chi was so shocked he couldn't speak for a long time. All their brothers who worked together knew how Song Yuan protected Lin Xueyao like the apple of his eye. Would he really be willing to break up?

"Just kidding, brother. Who knows who'll be kneeling on the remote control when we go back!"

Song Yuan's expression was serious, not like he was joking. Lu Chi slowly realized,

"Really broke up? I remember Lin Xueyao's name was on the property deed for that apartment, right?"

Song Yuan gulped down the wine in his glass and said calmly,

"Her name is on it, but it's my pre-marital property. I have proof of my investment in buying the house, and she didn't contribute a single cent. The house isn't hers."

"Well, that's easy to say. Send me the floor plan!"

Lu Chi's eyes darted around. Now there would be a good show to watch. Lin Xueyao had probably long considered the house her own. When she found out Song Yuan was selling it, would she cry herself to death?
