At first, Xia Jin thought that she had seen wrongly, but soon, she realized that the things those people were carrying out were all hers!

Xia Jin’s heart sank. She walked forward with a cold expression and said to the person who was commanding the workers, “What’s going on? What gives you the right to move my things?”

The middle-aged man sized Xia Jin up, and a nonchalant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. “Oh, you must be Miss Xia. The rent for this house is due, and you haven’t renewed it, so we came to help you move your things out.”

Xia Jin lowered her head to look at the messy clothes and cosmetics on the floor. The corner of her mouth curled up into a cold smile. This is called ‘helping’?

As her thoughts spun, Xia Jin quickly figured out what was going on.

Huo Jue had asked Xu Bing to arrange this house for her. After she moved in, Xu Bing said the rent would be renewed every month by Huo Jue, so she did not need to contact the real estate agent.

Xia Jin had never paid rent in the past few years, so she did not think about this matter after she resigned.

Since these people dared to throw out all of her things without even informing her, they must not be afraid of her looking for trouble, so they must have someone backing them up.

Xia Jin did not even need to think to know who was backing them up.

Huo Jue was really ruthless. He was not even willing to give her a place to stay!

Xia Jin took a deep breath and looked at the messy parcels all over the floor. She said in an icy tone, “I can renew the rent. You can put my things back.”

Hearing Xia Jin’s words, the man smiled and shook his head. “I’m sorry, Miss Xia. This house has already been sublet today. There is no way for you to renew the rent now, you’d better go somewhere else.”

Xia Jin’s eyes turned cold.

How could such a large house be sublet so quickly? Xia Jin was still living here this morning, but it had already been rented to someone else at night?

Although Xia Jin knew that the man’s words were nonsense, there was nothing she could do if he was unwilling to renew the lease.

Xia Jin loathed herself for her carelessness. If she had thought about the house earlier and moved out in advance, Huo Jue would not have seized this opportunity to humiliate her.

She gritted her teeth and swallowed the anger in her heart.

The group of people left after throwing out all her stuff.

It was getting late and Xia Jin did not have sufficient time to find a new house. Thus, she hesitated for a long time before taking out her phone to make a call.

“Hello, Sister Qin…”

A few moments later, a small van for moving parked in front of a small villa, which was not very big, but had an advantageous geographical location.

After the van stopped, the workers brought Xia Jin’s things down.

A woman with heavy make-up strolled out of the villa. She looked at Xia Jin’s things with some disdain and sneered. “Why? Have you been dumped?”

Xia Jin’s heart was already filled with anger, and she felt even more despondent after being ridiculed by this woman.

The woman stepped forward and held her hand intimately, and a sweet fragrance surrounded Xia Jin at once. The woman put her head close to Xia Jin’s ear. Her voice was gentle and charming. “I told you that that scum wasn’t worth your time. You didn’t believe me back then.”

The ‘back then’ the woman was referring to was five years ago.

Five years ago, Qin Xuan warned her not to be delusional enough to think that someone like Huo would be serious about her when Xia Jin had decided to be Huo Jue’s mistress.

At that time, although Xia Jin had a feeling that Qin Xuan’s words might be true, she was still undeterred.

Now, Qin Xuan’s mockery made Xia Jin let out a bitter laugh.

It seemed that she still had some hope for Huo Jue in the depths of her heart five years ago.

But now, Xia Jin just wanted to give her past self a tight slap–of all men to like, you liked a big bastard!

Xia Jin lowered her eyes to hide the bitterness in her heart. She said to Qin Xuan with a normal expression, “I’ll leave my things with you for a few days. I’ll move out once I’ve found an apartment.”

When they entered the house, Qin Xuan took out a new towel and threw it at her. “All right, all right. There’s no need to be so polite with me. You can just stay, since I’ve got a big house anyway. As for you, what are you going to do after you leave that man? Did you launder enough money to make ends meet?”

Qin Xuan’s use of the word ‘launder’ made Xia Jin feel a little uncomfortable.

But when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that her relationship with Huo Jue over the past few years was indeed like this.

Xia Jin then revealed everything she had to Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan scoffed. “You spent five years of your youth to earn over a million dollars? It seems that this man isn’t much either. If I had known earlier, I would have introduced you to some more generous ones.”

Xia Jin shook her head helplessly, not minding Qin Xuan’s vicious words. After all, they had known each other for many years. She knew that Qin Xuan was just unforgiving with her mouth, but she treated her sincerely.

Xia Jin went to take a shower after telling Qin Xuan about her current job. She felt refreshed and collapsed on the sofa immediately after coming out..
