"What are you going to do next?"

Shen Beitang was referring to Yun Su.

Before Bai Ling died, she said that it was Yun Su who led her to get close to Gu Zhun.

Gu Zhun's consistent attitude towards Yun Su was that if he could kill her, he would never let her go.

"The best is yet to come."

...

Meanwhile, Yun Su was so anxious at home that she smashed everything she could to pieces.

"I knew Bai Ling was untrustworthy. Now look what's happened, she's even lost her life."

She read through Gu Jingtian's will again.

It clearly states that if Gu Zhun marries someone other than the designated person, he will lose all inheritance rights.

Everyone knows that the person she has always been in love with is her illegitimate daughter, Yun Liu.

That's why she's gone to great lengths over the years to seduce Gu Zhun with all sorts of women.

Unexpectedly, he died at Bai Ling's hands in the final step, and even revealed his identity.

Yun Su gritted her teeth: "Am I really going to stop here?"

──

On the third day after Gu Zhun returned to Anshi, Yun Su took the opportunity of welcoming him back and held a grand banquet.

The guests invited were all well-known figures from Anshi.

Yun Su thought Gu Zhun would refuse, but to her surprise, he agreed very readily.

This caught her off guard, but it saved her a lot of trouble.

Gu Zhun brought Shen Beitang to the banquet, and they became the focus of attention as soon as they got out of the car.

Everyone congratulated him on winning the development project in Jincheng.

Some people even started praising Shen Beitang for her good taste, saying, "Miss Shen has good taste; she dissolved her marriage with the Shan family and found President Gu."

People around them also began to echo this sentiment, all trying to downplay Chen Beitang and elevate Gu Zhun.

"This is all thanks to my wife."

Shen Beitang was caught off guard and pushed to the middle of the crowd.

"I was still in the hospital when she won the project; I didn't even have a chance to make a difference."

With Gu Zhun's recommendation, everyone's attention turned to her.

They couldn't believe it; the pampered young lady who used to only follow men around was now a stranger.

Now she has become a powerful and influential businesswoman.

The disdain in his eyes was gone, replaced by a hint of admiration.

"I knew the daughter that President Zhou trained wouldn't be bad. It seems that she was held back by Shan Chengming all along."

Shen Beitang also disliked these opportunistic people, so he would just give them a few perfunctory replies and move on.

Why did you push me out here?

Gu Zhun pinched Shen Beitang's cheek. "I want everyone to know how amazing my wife is. She can succeed without relying on anyone."

"Thanks."

Shen Beitang squeezed Gu Zhun's hand with emotion. In the past, she was either a spendthrift or a love-obsessed person.

Even this business trip, in the eyes of outsiders, was just about eating and drinking.

In fact, Shen Beitang was already used to such evaluations and didn't want to argue about other people's opinions.

I never expected that Gu Zhun would still keep it in mind.

Gu Zhun took Shen Beitang's hand, kissed the back of her hand, and looked up at her.

"Because Tangtang is not anyone's appendage; she can only be herself."

Just as Gu Zhun was preparing to find a secluded place to kiss her.

"Xiao Zhun, are you satisfied with this banquet?"

Yun Su held a glass of champagne, dressed more dazzlingly than anyone else present, as if she were the star of the day.

"You hosted this banquet yourself, don't you know whether you're satisfied or not?"

Gu Zhun's words left Yun Su speechless.

Seeing that she couldn't get any benefits from Gu Zhun, Yun Su began to plan to start with Shen Beitang.

"Xiao Tang, you've been here for so long and I haven't given you any gift. I just happened to have prepared one for you today."

As he spoke, he gestured for someone to bring out a jewelry box. Inside the box was a necklace made entirely of jadeite, which appeared to be a design from a few years ago.

"This is……"

When Gu Zhun saw the necklace, he stared at it intently and never looked away.

Yun Su smiled smugly and gently stroked the necklace with her hand.

"Yes, this is your mother's necklace. It was lost a long time ago, but I happened to photograph it a few months ago. Don't you think this is fate?"

Yun Su handed the necklace to Gu Zhun, saying, "I'm tired of fighting with you for so long, so I'll take this necklace as a gift."

Shen Beitang also recognized that this necklace was the same one from Lin Shuang's photo.

"Turn around, and I'll put it on for you."

Gu Zhun took out the necklace and pretended to put it around Shen Beitang's neck.

"No, this is your mother's most precious possession. You should keep it and cherish it."

Gu Zhun shook his head, insisting on putting it on her.

"Lin Shuang once said that she would leave this necklace to her future daughter-in-law."

One sentence was enough. Shen Beitang brushed the hair behind her neck aside, her meaning couldn't be clearer.

"You take it."

Today I'm wearing a pearl-white cheongsam, which complements the jade necklace perfectly.

Gu Zhun looked at her, his eyes full of joy, "You two are a perfect match."

Just as Shen Beitang was about to step forward and hug Gu Zhun, the person in front of her suddenly collapsed onto her without warning.

His breathing became rapid, and his lips began to turn deathly pale.

"Xiao Zhun, what's wrong?"

Yun Su ran over crying and threw herself at Gu Zhun's side, crying as if she had lost her own son.

The once empty space was filled with people because of Yun Su's shouts, and the air gradually became stagnant.

Because of the sweltering heat, Gu Zhun felt increasingly uncomfortable, and tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Everyone move aside, he needs fresh air!"

Shen Beitang screamed with all her might, trying to prop up Gu Zhun's limp body.

But Gu Zhun was just too tall, and after he fell into a coma, all his strength was on her.

Whenever she carried Gu Zhun on her shoulders, he would fall over because of the height difference.

Those who were just flattering Gu Zhun are now hiding on the sidelines, silently watching the show, and not a single person is offering a helping hand.

Oh, right, call emergency services. If she remembers correctly, there's a hospital 500 meters away.

The ambulance arrived in just one minute.

"Gu Zhun, you have to hold on, the ambulance is coming soon."

For the first time, Shen Beitang felt her hands trembling, and she couldn't even open the zipper of her handbag.

Why is there no signal?

The location of the signal on her phone was blank, so she tried calling emergency services.

But all I heard on the other end of the phone was a despairing dial tone.

Shen Beitang's makeup had been smudged by tears, losing its previous splendor.

"Please, please, someone make a call for me to save Gu Zhun! Please!"

The usually arrogant Shen Beitang stood in front of the crowd and lowered his head.

Although everyone enjoys watching Gu Zhun fall into the water, if it really results in a death, no one can escape responsibility.

So everyone took out their phones.

"Strange, I have no signal at all."

Shen Beitang collapsed to the ground in despair, holding Gu Zhun in her arms.

The man just said he wanted to marry her, how could he break his promise?

At that moment, a voice rang out from the crowd.

"Um... I think I have a signal."
