The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex - Chapter 1297

Chapter 1297: He Ignored Her Request

She curled up in her blankets and held her phone tightly. She waited and waited for her phone to beep with a notification but her phone remained silent even after as the morning light spilled into her bedroom from the window.

She guessed that he had ignored her request to add him as a contact.

She sighed and shook her head in disappointment.

However, it wasn’t a surprise to her because she was a complete stranger to him.

She wouldn’t accept a request from a stranger, so he probably felt the same way.

Oh well, she should give up on this idea.

She climbed out of bed.

She could still hear the occasional sounds of firecrackers outside.

It was the first day of the new year but it was just like any other ordinary day to her.

She sent her new year greetings to her teachers and classmates before she made a bowl of noodle soup for herself.

She took out her computer after she had breakfast and started to learn and work on her designs.

She set a goal for herself and intended to watch a certain number of videos and produce a certain number of designs in a day.

She kept herself very busy every day so even though her life was boring, she had a lot of things to do.

She worked on two designs that were meant to be the cover art of two novels. She also had to design a flyer for an English school. These were all relatively simple designs and now that she had accumulated some experience, she didn’t find these projects too difficult.

She charged 10 dollars per cover art and 150 dollars for the flyer, so her day’s earnings would be 170 dollars.

She had an accounting book and this was where she would record her income for the day. She would sum up her earnings and expenditure at the end of each month.

She flipped open her black book and saw her accounts from the previous semester.

September: Expenditure 1,355 dollars, income 2,500 dollars

October: Expenditure 1,400 dollars, income 3,600 dollars

November: Expenditure 2,500 dollars, income 4,100 dollars

December: Expenditure 3,050 dollars, income 5,100 dollars

January: Expenditure 2,400 dollars, income 5,500 dollars

She couldn’t explain how she felt as she looked through these numbers but she felt happy that her income was steadily increasing.

If she continued to work hard this year, she might be able to clear the rest of her debts with the exception of her student loan.

The process was tiring and painful but it would be worth it if she could earn more money.

She worked until late that night. She watched another two video tutorials on Photoshop before she finally retired for the night.

Her phone beeped with a message notification and this was from a teacher who had responded to her new year greeting.

This was her teacher during her senior year of high school and her name was Yang Sulan. She had also helped her out a lot.

He Xiyan had intended to visit this teacher over the spring festival but unfortunately, Ms. Yang wasn’t in Liuyang because she would head back to her hometown in Hanyang for the spring festival each year.

“Happy New Year, He Xiyan! Continue to work hard and live well. You can always drop me a line whenever you run into any difficulties or trouble.”

He Xiyan stared at the words on her screen and smiled wryly.

Tears rolled down her cheeks as she blinked.

It was the first day of the spring festival but instead of her biological relatives asking after her. It was her teacher who showed her concern.

Her teacher had also helped her and encouraged her when she was faced with a lot of troubles.
