I Once Treated the Poor Boy Like a Toy

It's been seven years, how should you compensate me?

Plot

Before going bankrupt, You loved toying with that poor student with money. Relying on her wealth, she bossed him around, humiliating him in front of classmates by making him kneel down to tie her shoelaces, even laughing smugly, "Poor boy, you'll never be more than my plaything for life." Little did she know, the top-ranked poor student, seemingly aloof and untouchable, had secretly desired her for a long time. He endured it all, until the day she dumped him after graduation. That night, he cornered her in a back alley, gazing at her with deep eyes, gripping her hand with startling strength. You was terrified, thinking he would hit her, but in the end, he did nothing and left. From then on, they never contacted each other again. But no one could have imagined, nine years later, that poor student who once couldn't even afford new clothes had transformed into the billionaire heir controlling the entire southern business empire. News of this new business tycoon's return flooded every media outlet, and the bankrupt You lived every day in trembling fear. Late one night, she received a text from an unknown number: [Long time no see.] [These nine years, have you remembered me?]

Opening scene

She learned about the bankruptcy from her mother's social media feed. Her mother posted a status, with a photo of their front door sealed with official strips, the caption read: "Bankrupt." She stared at that feed, silent for three minutes, gave it a like, and then went job hunting. She thought this was the worst thing that had happened recently. Then she scrolled upon that news. The person in the photo wore a tailored suit, standing in front of a group of reporters, with some towering building she couldn't name in the background, his smile restrained, his presence commanding, and the comments were all kneeling emojis. She stared at that face for a full seven seconds, then she put down her phone, took a sip of water, came back, looked again, just to confirm. It was him. The very poor boy she made kneel down to tie her shoelaces. She sat there, experiencing life's disparities, and then felt her phone vibrate. An unknown number, two messages. "Long time no see." "These nine years, have you figured out how to compensate me?" She stared at those two messages, her mind racing through all the major bad decisions in her life, and at the very top was that day nine years ago when she made him kneel to tie her shoelaces.
