Chapter 17 Five months in the jail

Gu Tingchen was utterly shocked. He murmured: "what did the abortion two years ago make you lose?"

He had heard me clearly, and I didn't repeat.

"Let go of Ji Nuan. There is someone she loves waiting on her. If you want someone to blame, then Wen Ruyan is the first person to blame. You can thoroughly investigate what she did eight years ago. She made Ji Nuan lose her lover, and she deserves what Ji Nuan has done to her. Plus, it was only after Wen Ruyan threw harsh words on her that Ji Nuan resorted to this. Your fiancee is never as pure as you think she would be." I paused, and then sarcastically said, "I’m sorry. I forgot that you are Gu Tingchen the omnipotent. You know everything that others have done, and now you are just indulging her."

Gu Tingchen frowned, "I will investigate this matter, but you must tell me what has happened after that abortion surgery two years ago."

What had happened to me after the abortion?

I didn't even want to recall it.

That year, I was forced to be on the operating table. The doctor performed the operation but did not conduct curettage, which eventually led to uterine infection. Before my recovery, Gu Tingchen had forced me to have sex with him one time after another.

I said coldly and perfunctorily: "nothing. I just didn’t recover from that abortion, and the doctor said it was almost impossible for me to conceive again. I have been way too exhausted from managing the business of my family, and there is no heir. Otherwise, I would not have given the assets of my family to you."

After a long time, Gu Tingchen closed his eyes and said, "why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"Tingchen, who are you talking to?"

Wen Ruyan suddenly called him from inside. I sneered at him, and left the hospital for the police station.

I wanted to bail Ji Nuan out of jail, but I had nothing.

I had given my power to Gu Tingchen myself.

But he used that power against my friend.

I stayed with Ji Nuan at the police station until dawn, and Wen Ruyan's lawyer arrived.

That was more the lawyer of Gu Tingchen than of Wen Ruyan.

The attitude of the lawyer was that of Gu Tingchen.

Gu Tingchen had to give Wen Ruyan the result that would be satisfactory for her, so he wanted to have Ji Nuan in jail for 5 months. Five months was much shorter than two years, and was also his concession.

Ji Nuan accepted her situation and asked me to take care of Chen Chusheng for her.

She said with tears, "I will go to see Chen Chusheng again after five months. I hope he will not move to hide from me. I can no longer bear the pain of losing him. Do you think I can be with him after five months?"

I also wept, and said firmly: "you will. You must."

She had waited for him for eight years. There should be nothing else to stop her from getting love.

Ji Nuan was put into prison, and I started selling the teahouse for her.

In the end, it was bought by a strange couple at the price of one million.

I saved that money in the bank. Ji Nuan would withdraw it after being released.

As I finished these things, one month had flown past.

I clearly understood that I only had about a month to live.

A month could be as a short time as a blink. My health became worse and worse. For several times, I directly passed out on the street, and woke up from coldness. Fortunately, I had not passed out for so long as to be frozen to death.

Fearing that I would pass out, I tried not to go outside as much as possible. I called the photographer team to take a black-and-white picture(note: in Chinese culture, black-and-white pictures are usually taken for the deceased) in the villa. In the picture, I wore no makeup, and smiled a natural smile with nothing in the eyesight.

On December 27th, I went to the graveyard to choose a spot for myself.

After going down from the graveyard on the mountain, I went to the piano training institution.

From far away, I heard someone playing "The street where the wind resides".

Squatting at the door, I was surprised to see Gu Tingchen playing inside. His long fingers looked exceptionally pretty and particularly powerful on the piano,.

December 27th, why did he come here?

I bit my lips and finally didn't go in to disturb him.

I dare not to disturb him, and didn’t want to disturb.

I couldn't forgive him anyway.

In the end, I had finally held a grudge against him.

I squatted at the door and wept at a loss. The sound of the piano inside suddenly stopped, and I heard his voice of confusion: "Who is there?"

I quickly stood up and ran away. Downstairs, my tears came out like a heavy rain.

The weather seemed to know that I was sad, and it kept raining. I became wet all over. As I turned to leave, I saw him staring at me from upstairs.

His eyesight looked as if it had come to me from far away.

I looked at him while weeping, and he looked at me mercifully.

I saw him saying something. The rain was noisy, I did not hear any of his voice, but I could sense him asking, "don’t you feel cold in the rain? Why are you so sad? "

I shook my head and denied, "I'm not sad."

He said with certainty, "little girl, you are crying."

Little girl??? Although I had indeed cried hard, no one could find out because of the heavy rain and my wet appearance. However, he found it. I turned around and ran away.

I left the place that I had missed for my entire life.

When I got home, I took a hot bath and changed to a cotton skirt. Fearing that there would be blood slide, I wore a tampon. As I dizzily fell asleep, I felt someone hugging in the arms.

I opened my eyes and saw the man beside the bed.

I sat up in dismay and asked, "why are you here?"

He still looked handsome, just like he was in the daytime. I thought that our relationship had come to its end, but he looked as if nothing had happened. He said lightly: "our relationship has not ended yet."

I got up hurriedly and said, "yes it has. It has ended as early as a month ago."

"Shi Sheng, I want to continue the romance."

My cold question: "Why?"

During the day, he said I was sad. At this moment, was he showing up to give me his mercy?

He had always been like this, using both carrots and sticks.

"According to out agreement, the romance is not over. Otherwise, I'll give the assets of your family back to you."

Using Shi family to threaten me?!

I sneered, "fine, you can give them back to me, and then I will be able to mess with Wen Ruyan. I swear, as long as I have my power back, never shall Wen Ruyan get what she wants."

He said in a calm voice, "the power of your family has always been in your hands."

The contract of shares transferring was still kept by lawyer Chen, and the power of my family was nominally mine, but I didn't have that much time and energy to care about these things.

I reminded him, "it's you who has been in charge of the affairs of Shi family."

"The power is yours if you want."

"If I really want that power, that would be at the time when you and your fiancee have pissed me off! Gu Tingchen, I don't want to see you at all now. Leave here before you are expelled."

He sighed: "you are indeed angry."

"What makes you think I won't be angry?" I got up, opened the wardrobe, took out a pink coat and put on. Then, I said to him coldly, "either you leave, or I leave."

Gu Tingchen sat still on the bed. I was angry, and opened the door and left. I drove my roadster from the garage to the seaside, and felt a bit better with the cold sea breeze blowing on me.

I hated Gu Tingchen most when he acted as if everything was natural and right.

What made him think I would forgive him?

Essentially, he was being two-timing.

That was what a typical scum man would do.

Because of the event of Ji Nuan, I could not manage to forgive him.

As I was still furious, Gu Tingchen called me.

I answered and warned coldly, "get out of my house."

Gu Tingchen softly called my name: "Shi Sheng."

I was impatient: "what?"

"I have come to you today because there is something I need to make clear to you today. I thought I could make up for you a little, so I tried to take good care of you, but it's not until now that I understand how incorrect this matter has been."

I asked in a cold voice: "what are you getting at?"
