【Let the evil meet their fate, and if fate doesn't take its course, I'll do it for you】
It was rumored in C City that the merchant Gu Jiangnian was a master of strategy and profit, where every move was made for gain.
But everyone at Junhua knew, Director Gu sought not only profit but also people.
To what extent?
Want money, send money; want someone, send someone; you fight, I guard the door; you brawl, I support you.
Before marriage, she was the least favored miss of the Jiang family, battling alone against her cruel stepmother and adulterous father, with her daily work: brawl! Brawl! And brawl some more!
After marriage, she was the beloved little ancestor of the Gu Mansion, pampered and protected in the palm of the master's hand, too precious to let others bully, with her daily work: cling to powerful coattails! Cling! And cling some more!
【Post-marriage daily life one】
One day, Mrs. Gu was ill and had lost her appetite. Mr. Gu canceled his appointments to return home, sat in front of her, and coldly stared, his words icy: “Didn’t you say I was a feast for the eyes? Eat!”
【Post-marriage daily life two】
Mrs. Gu found herself in a tight spot, attacked by the public, when a reporter relentlessly pursued Gu Jiangnian asking, “As Junhua’s director and C City’s wealthiest Mr. Gu, what is your opinion on Mrs. Gu's attempt to run over her own biological father?”
The man paused abruptly, his face cold as he slowly and deliberately said, “She's spoiled by me. What’s it to you?”
Without waiting for the reporter to answer, he arrogantly continued, “Even if you have an opinion, keep it to yourself. My woman, Gu Jiangnian’s woman, is not subject to your criticism.”

The Ceo‘s Caged Melody

That evening, Yu Se left the hospital alone, with He Chi stealthily departing without informing Gu Jiangnian. When the latter found out, his face held a trace of melancholy Lan Ying couldn't comprehend, a light, not quite sorrowful sorrow.


He held a cigarette between his fingers, standing by the window of the suite's living room, with the window wide open. The warmth of the June evening brought hot night breezes instead of the cool of spring, adding a touch of scorching heat.


He reached out, lightly tapping the ash in the ashtray by the window.


Squinting at the sunset at the edge of the sky, although to call it a sunset was to overstate it—just speckles of light that were completely blocked out by the tall buildings and skyscrapers.


Gu Jiangnian replayed his conversation with Yu Se in his mind. How had it ended?


He and Jiang Muwan were not from the same world.


It ended there, with neither happiness nor resolution.
