I returned to my parents' home. My sister-in-law Lisa looked at the Louis Vuitton handbag I was carrying and asked, "Yasmin, this bag is a knockoff, right? How much did you pay for it?"

I said, "This is the Louis Vuitton I just bought. I spent thirty thousand dollars."

My brother Jack and his wife Lisa stared at me in disbelief. "What? Thirty thousand?"

Lisa's face turned cold. "It's not worth it!"

Jack looked at my mother angrily and said, "Mom, look at Yasmin. Our whole family is still living in one house, but she spent thirty thousand dollars on a bag."

My mother frowned. "Yasmin, why are you so immature!"

My dad yelled, "You're wasting money! Go back and return it now!"

In their imagination, I should have blushed and lowered my head, then went to the mall to return the bag.

But, they didn't know that I was reborn!

In my previous life, for the sake of my parents and my brother, I never got married. I bought them a house and a car, and covered the expenses of my nephew and niece. However, after they spent all my money, they kicked me out.

Eventually, I died of illness alone in my rental apartment. No one came to see me until my body started to stink and was discovered.

In this life, I wanted to live for myself!

I was reborn at the age of forty.

When I opened my eyes, I was lying in my small bedroom, and outside I could hear my nephew Liam and niece Luna crying and fighting over toys.

As I recalled, I bought this house with more than eight hundred thousand dollars. To show my filial piety, I registered the house under my parents' names.

I opened a beauty salon in my hometown and achieved some success in my career, with an annual income of four to five hundred thousand dollars, which was quite impressive in this small town.

But this amount of money was far from enough to satisfy my parents' appetite.

Jack had no job and played games at home every day. Lisa went shopping and playing all day, leaving both children to my parents.

Naturally, all the expenses of the whole family depended on me.

I had been in love several times, but when it came to getting married, my parents would obstruct me for various reasons. They would either demand a high price of engagement gift or be mean to the boy's family. As time went on, I still didn't get married until I was forty years old. I missed the best time, and the marriage was naturally shelved.

In my previous life, I thought they were all doing this for my own good, fearing that I would put my trust in the wrong person. Now I finally understood that they were just worried that after I got married, they would lose my money!

Outside my bedroom, Luna cried loudly because she didn't get the toy. Lisa said impatiently, "Silly girl, stop crying. Ask Aunt Yasmin to buy it for you later!"

I sneered secretly. Aunt Yasmin didn't want to be a fool anymore!

In my previous life, I always fulfilled Liam and Luna's requests. When Luna got married, I bought her a set of gold jewelry. After she got married, she said she wanted to start a business, so I gave her my beauty salon. When Liam got married, I gave him all my savings and also left him the house I bought for my parents. However, when I got old and sick, either of them came to see me.

So, I wouldn't spoil them anymore.

I looked at myself in the mirror. After all, I worked in the cosmetology business, so my skin was pretty good. As a forty-year-old woman, I looked like thirty years old. However, all my clothes were bought online. They were obviously cheap goods with no quality at all. And none of my bags or shoes were presentable.

I thought, "Now, right now! I'm going to love myself!"

After I changed my clothes and walked out of the room, Luna rushed over to me and hugged my legs. "Aunt Yasmin, take me to buy toys."

Liam also came to me and said, "Aunt Yasmin, I want to go too. I want the latest Ultraman."

Lisa didn't say anything, she was playing with her phone and glanced at me out of the corner of her eye.

I pulled Liam and Luna away. "You have so many toys, you don't need any more toys. Go do your homework!"

The two kids who had always been spoiled by me pouted in grievance and looked at Lisa beside them.

I didn't even look at Lisa, I just walked out and headed straight for the mall!

After shopping for an afternoon, I was completely refreshed. I got my hair permed, had a manicure, and bought several new clothes. These clothes were something I never dared to buy before because of the price.

As the owner of a beauty salon, I knew how to dress, but I was reluctant to spend money on myself in the past. All I wore and used were cheap items, which showed no texture or class.

Now I became a different person!

I went to the beauty salon first, and a few beautician girls praised me. "Ms. Quill, you look so beautiful today!"

I returned home full of joy.

For my new image, my whole family just gave me a few glances. My mother opened her mouth but finally held back and said nothing.

Until they saw my new Louis Vuitton bag.

Lisa couldn't help but say, "Yasmin, this bag is a knockoff, right? How much did you pay for it?"

I laughed. "I bought it this afternoon, Louis Vuitton, thirty thousand dollars!"

Jack and Lisa widened their eyes. "What? Thirty thousand?"

Lisa snorted and said coldly, "This is just a waste of money. You are really rich since you are willing to spend thirty thousand dollars to buy this!"

Jack looked at my mother angrily and said, "Mom, look at Yasmin. Our whole family is still living in one house, but she spent thirty thousand dollars on a bag."

My mother frowned. "Yasmin, why are you so immature!"

My dad yelled, "You're wasting money, go back and return it!"

They thought I would definitely go to the mall with a red face, looking aggrieved, as usual, to return the bag.

But, I was no longer the silly me in my last life!

I slowly stretched out my hand to admire my manicure. "I used my own money, and what does it have to do with you guys? Why should I return it?"

Dad was choked by me. He didn't expect that his daughter, who had always obeyed them since childhood, would dare to refute!

Before they could react, I showed them the jade necklace on my neck. "Look, this is the jade necklace I just bought, twenty thousand dollars!"

It was like a thunderclap, which blew their minds off.

The Lisa was already incoherent. "Twenty thousand! Yasmin, you must have been cheated!"

Jack quickly took out his phone and said, "Yes, yes, yes, call the police. You must have been scammed!"

I snatched his phone and said, "What are you doing? I can show you the invoice and the attached appraisal certificate. This is a genuine jade necklace!"

My father was so angry that he was trembling. He pointed at me and said, "You, you are rebellious!"

My mother said, "Yasmin, go back and return all of them! It's one hundred and fifty thousand dollars! You agreed to buy a house for your brother, why are you spending money like this?"

These words were heartfelt wishes of Jack and Lisa, and they quickly nodded.

Jack took a deep breath and said, "Yasmin, hurry up, return them before Dad gets angry."

I thought, "Getting angry? I'm just afraid that you won't get angry."

I looked at them coldly, and suddenly Luna shook my arm. "Aunt Yasmin, I want the necklace, I want it."

Then Liam also rushed over and said, "Aunt Yasmin, give it to me. My parents said that all your things will be mine."

Haha, they could really think.

I squatted down with a smile. "Sweetie, don't make a fuss. Ask your parents to buy whatever you want, after all you are their treasures. And I will have my own treasure in the future."

Lisa's face looked very unpleasant, and she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth. "You are already forty, who would want you?"

I stood up and said, "Yes, in order to make money for you, I'm already forty and haven't gotten married. Don't forget that I was the one who paid for your engagement gift, but now you are saying no one wants me because I am too old!"

Jack said, "Yasmin, why are you bringing up things that from years ago? Go and return them."

I stood there without moving, and my mother came over and pulled me. "Yasmin, hurry up!"

I shook her hand off. "No, you guys can buy a house for Jack if you want, I won't. I'm not his mother!"

My dad finally yelled at me, "Go and return them! Or get out of here!"

I said, "I get out? I shouldn't be the one to get out. I bought this house!"

Jack said, "Yasmin, how could you say that? You bought this house for Mom and Dad, they have the right to do this."

I said, "Okay, I'm leaving then! I wish you guys happiness, and don't come to me ever again!"

After saying that, I went into my room and packed my things. A few minutes later, I came out with a suitcase.

My father almost fainted with anger. I had never disobeyed his orders like this before. He pointed at the door and said, "Get out! If you dare to leave, don't regret it!"

Regret? They should be the ones who regret it.

I strode out and no one tried to stop me.

When I got to the door, I heard Jack say to my father. "Dad, don't get too angry. Yasmin will come back to apologize in a few days."

Yes, I was a bootlicker of my parents in my previous life. In order to get their smiles, I obeyed them and only hoped to get a little love and care from them.

I wouldn't need to in this life!

Because through the miserable experience in my previous life, I finally understood that it was useless to please people who didn't care about you! It was better to completely give up asking for their love and love yourself.

When I got out of the door, tears flowed down my face.

Just because I spent my own money to buy myself gifts, they were so intolerant. In their eyes, I was just a tool to make money, and there was no love to me!

When I was a child, the things my parents said to me most often were: Your brother is the root of our family, you must protect him and love him!

But who in this family loved me?

I'd better say goodbye to the so-called family. I had given them enough and I had to live my own life in the future.

After moving out, I stayed in my beauty salon for a few days. I spent time checking houses during the day. I had never been so eager to buy a house of my own.

My parents asked me to buy a house for Jack. I didn't dare to disobey, so I had already prepared the money.

Fortunately, they had looked at several houses but hadn't decided yet. Now it was the perfect opportunity to buy a house for myself with this money.

I quickly booked a newly renovated house of 120 square meters in the city center for 1.5 million dollars.

On the day of payment, I actually saw Jack and Lisa. They were looking at the houses.

The house I bought was in a high-end residential area, and there was a payment ceremony at the sales office. After I paid the money, I took a photo with the sales staff and the manager on the stage. And the music attracted everyone's attention.
