We met at eighteen, married at twenty-two. At twenty-five, her childhood sweetheart returned, and I proposed divorce.
Someone asked if I was willing to let go. I thought about it and said, &#...
Back at the coffin shop, Gu Lianyi called.
"nailed it?"
"Hmm." I smiled and said, "This time it all went very smoothly thanks to you, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy."
"So how are you going to thank me?" Gu Lianyi teased as always.
I rubbed my temples helplessly: "Didn't I already promise to treat you to dinner?"
Gu Lianyi: "Oh, then let's do it now."
"I can't wait."
"Sister, there's no need to rush, didn't we agree..."
Before I could finish speaking, Gu Lianyi interrupted me, "Do you still want to make more money?"
"Of course I want to." I nodded without hesitation.
"If you're interested, stop talking nonsense and see you in a bit."
Gu Lianyi hung up the phone without giving me a chance to speak again. I was a little amused and annoyed, but also curious about what made her so anxious. Although she had been quite anxious before, her tone was more like teasing me.
However, I didn't think too much about it; I'd find out the answer when Gu Lianyi arrived.
An hour later, Gu Lianyi arrived as expected.
Before I could even speak, Gu Lianyi handed me a document.
"See?"
I took it and looked at it, and then froze on the spot.
"What's the meaning?"
"You want to cooperate with me extensively?"
"Yes, your business strategy has been proven and is very likely to be a future trend. I have high hopes for you, so I want to cooperate with you in advance, so that when you become successful, I won't even have a chance to get involved."
Gu Lianyi rested her chin on her hand and looked at me: "So, are you going to refuse your sister?"
“We’re already in a partnership, aren’t we?” I thought for a moment and shook my head. “And as things stand, there are still risks. I’ve only done one deal, and it’s uncertain whether there will be a second one.”
"You don't need to take this risk with me."
“Xu Ruo!” Gu Lianyi suddenly looked at me seriously.
"Hmm?" I looked at her instinctively.
"Don't you understand what I mean? Do you really have to be so clear about it?" A hint of resentment had appeared in Gu Lianyi's eyes.
I fell silent.
Seeing my silence, Gu Lianyi stared at me for a long while before saying as if she had made a decision: "Alright, I won't force you anymore."
"I don't know what you're thinking, and I don't want to know."
"Let's leave this matter aside for now."
"Now, treat me to dinner!"
"Uh, okay!" I nodded.
"Oh, right, one last question for you." Gu Lianyi stood up and leaned closer to me. "Who do you like?"
These words startled me, and images flashed through my mind unconsciously.
Who do I like?
From the moment I returned to this time, it was already destined.
For whom did I come?
For whom they exist in this world again, it was all predetermined.
Don't you want to talk about it?
Gu Lianyi looked at me with disappointment.
I smiled and said, "You'll find out later."
...
I've always wanted to add an ending, but I haven't known how to start writing it. This book has always been a regret for me. The initial data and results were quite good, but I broke down the moment the scores came out.
Perhaps this type of subject matter is simply not popular.
But it's okay, maybe I'll start a new book soon, and then I won't feel so depressed anymore, and I'll try to be more cheerful.
Okay, that's all for now, goodbye everyone!
The End!
