Chapter 256 – Regretful Guo Jie Guo Jie walked out of the cinema after being fired once again, feeling utterly alone as she wandered the streets. This was already the seventh job she had lost this month. Ever since being expelled from school, Guo Jie’s life had plunged into its darkest period. The second-generation wealthy kids who used to flock around her had all disappeared. Accustomed to spending lavishly, Guo Jie quickly ran out of money. Without financial support from those wealthy kids, she had no choice but to find a job to support herself. But what kind of good job could someone expelled from university, without a diploma or any skills, possibly find? Guo Jie tried various jobs, but none lasted long. She couldn't handle hardship, and her high-minded, arrogant nature made it impossible for her to do low-paying, service-oriented jobs. She had hoped to use her looks to attract a few wealthy guys at work. Unfortunately, she didn’t meet any rich men, only a bunch of broke losers hitting on her.@@@@ Today, she couldn't hold it in any longer and quit her job on the spot. Walking down the street, Guo Jie felt utterly disheartened, as if the heavens were against her. She was a student at Jiangling Normal University, a beloved princess. Yet in less than a month, her life had turned upside down. Now, she couldn't even afford a decent set of cosmetics. Without makeup, her looks had taken a hit. Her skin had become dull and acne-ridden due to anxiety and sleepless nights. If her made-up looks used to score an 80, now they wouldn’t even reach 60. Guo Jie had tried to be proactive and affectionate with those wealthy kids, even boldly confessing her feelings. But they all avoided her like the plague, as if they had taken a weighty decision. With no hope left, Guo Jie suddenly thought of Lin Jichen, her college boyfriend. Titles like "Top Player in Tale of Immortal," "Sword God," and "The Man Who Plays Like He’s Cheating" were all associated with him. Even the most famous search entries had detailed introductions about him; he had become a celebrity. Numerous guilds were offering exorbitant amounts to recruit him. Although Guo Jie didn’t play "Tale of Immortal," she knew about the game. Every day on her way to work, she saw its advertisements everywhere. Being the top player in this game meant something significant, and Guo Jie, being smart, understood this well. With so many guilds vying to recruit him with outrageous offers, she realized that Lin Jichen had likely escaped his impoverished situation and soared to new heights through this game. Guo Jie’s eyes were filled with complex emotions, regret and remorse washing over her. She hadn’t realized Lin Jichen’s potential and now regretted letting him slip away so easily. Guo Jie believed that the reason Lin Jichen broke up with her was because Ren Lan had shown him a video of her kissing a wealthy guy on the street. At the time, she couldn’t explain herself, was infuriated by Ren Lan, and, coupled with Lin Jichen’s inability to satisfy her material desires, chose to break up. Now, thinking back, Guo Jie realized how foolish her actions had been. With Lin Jichen’s talent, he was outstanding both academically and in gaming. Even if she had to coax and deceive him, once Lin Jichen graduated, he would undoubtedly achieve great things. But in a fit of anger, she chose to break up. Guo Jie believed that if she had apologized and acted pitifully, maybe even shed some fake tears, and promised Lin Jichen she would never do it again, he would have forgiven her given how much he adored her. But she did nothing, letting a potential goldmine slip away. Guo Jie regretted it deeply. Suddenly, she made a decision! "Jichen, wait for me. If I can’t find you in reality, I’ll find you in the game!" Guo Jie decided to reconcile with Lin Jichen! With her tactics and understanding of Lin Jichen, she believed that with a little manipulation, he would surely soften and take her back!
