The first time Yun Su met Gu Jingtian.

She was performing a striptease on stage, and Gu Jingtian was a customer in the audience.

She spotted the handsome man on stage immediately; he was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and holding a glass of champagne, but hadn't taken a sip.

It was clear that the man held a very high position; everyone came forward to offer him a toast, but he didn't drink a single drop.

"Mr. Gu, should I call her down?"

Someone noticed that Gu Jingtian had been watching the dancers on the stage since earlier, so they boldly came over to ask him, and who knows, they might just hit it off!

Gu Jingtian didn't speak, but simply leaned back against the sofa and slightly raised his chin.

"You, go to the bar and call Yun Su down."

Yun Su was very surprised because there were many dancers on the stage, and she was just the one with the most ordinary appearance.

The supervisor often said that she wasn't pretty enough and looked more like a college student.

The supervisor warned her in a low voice, "Take good care of President Gu; this man is not someone you can afford to offend."

Yun Su nodded fearfully. The supervisor seemed to think her clothes were inappropriate and pulled her collar down even further.

Yun Su tried to cover herself with her hands, but was deterred by a fierce glare from the supervisor.

As she walked over, Gu Jingtian seemed to be looking at her through his glasses, but it didn't quite look like he was looking at her.

"Come and sit down."

Gu Jingtian casually patted the spot next to him.

Yun Su rarely entertained guests because she was not good at serving people and could not stand other men touching her inappropriately.

She stiffened, refilled Gu Jingtian's champagne, and poured herself a glass as well.

"Please have a drink, Mr. Gu."

Gu Jingtian glanced at her but did not take the cup. A hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Pull your clothes up."

Gu Jingtian's voice wasn't loud, but it made her tremble and frantically pull her collar up.

How old are you this year?

19.

"Hmm." Gu Jingtian looked thoughtfully at the ceiling. "19 years old is good."

Yun Su was a little confused and didn't understand what was so great about being 19, but she still went along with it out of habit.

"Mr. Gu, if you think it's good, then it's fine."

"Don't speak without my permission next time."

Gu Jingtian poured the entire glass of champagne over Yun Su's head and toes.

"Because she won't be like you."

"Okay, Mr. Gu."

As soon as Yun Su finished speaking, another glass of iced champagne was poured over her.

Gu Jingtian tilted his head and looked at her expressionlessly: "I told you, you're not allowed to speak without my permission. Your voice is really awful."

This time, Yun Su had finally learned her lesson and nodded in fear.

Throughout the entire process, Gu Jingtian did not interact with her at all; he simply had her sit on the sofa.

He smoked while watching her, occasionally drifting into a daze.

Yun Su sat on the sofa like a statue, afraid that if her posture was wrong, she would be drinking another glass of champagne.

Finally, Yun Su felt herself dozing off on the sofa until the supervisor came and shook her awake.

Looking up, I realized that Gu Jingtian had left sometime earlier, and there were ten stacks of cash on the table.

"Mr. Gu is really generous today."

The foreman generously gave Yun Su a stack of items, and stuffed the rest into his own pocket.

"By the way, starting today, you don't need to go up and dance anymore. You just need to accompany President Gu whenever he comes."

Yun Su was overjoyed and nodded happily.

I've only ever seen other women being paid and kept by customers; I never imagined I'd be in this situation myself.

Although the supervisor didn't get much money, it was still two months' salary for her.

Yun Su's family background was not good. She was sold to other people by her biological parents when she was a child, and she didn't know how many families she had been transferred to since childhood.

All she wanted was to work hard to earn money and have a place to settle down in Anshi.

...

The following days

Gu Jingtian would have someone send him some clothes and shoes.

But most of them are plain-colored, and some are not even from expensive brands.

The styles were the kind she would never buy.

"That Mr. Gu wouldn't just brush you off, would he? He's so rich, yet he wouldn't even buy you a designer handbag."

"Yeah, I think he's just teasing you."

The women around Yun Su were already jealous that Gu Jingtian was keeping her as a sugar daddy. Who wouldn't want someone who is both handsome and rich to keep them?

But now, seeing all the things Gu Jingtian gave them, they felt completely at peace.

It seems that Gu Jingtian didn't take it seriously at all; he was probably just looking for a temporary novelty and keeping a cat or dog.

Yun Su looked at the white dress that had been delivered with a heart full of resentment; in fact, white was what she hated most.

Having struggled and toiled in this world, she had long been tainted.

"Yun Su, are you dressed? President Gu is here!"

The foreman, seeing that she hadn't come out for a while, impatiently came in to urge her on.

"They're here!"

Yun Su put on the dress with extreme impatience, then let her hair down and straightened it with a hair straightener.

Suddenly, she felt that the person in the mirror wasn't her...

"Hurry up!" The foreman came in again, interrupting Yun Su's thoughts.

When Yun Su went out wearing a white dress and with her long black hair down.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Gu Jingtian's eyes seemed to soften, and he even took her hand.

Yun Su was overjoyed and decided to say what she had been preparing for a long time.

"Mr. Gu, can you take me away?"

Gu Jingtian paused in his hand as he lit a cigarette, then took it off and casually placed it on the table.

Are you sure?

Yun Su was overjoyed. Gu Jingtian hadn't refused. She had thought she would be greeted with another drink.

"I'm sure, I'm sticking with President Gu for the rest of my life."

Gu Jingtian had a cigarette in his mouth, and Yun Su, with her keen eye, lit a match for him.

Gu Jingtian took a deep drag of his cigarette and exhaled it towards Yun Su's face.

"If you dare, then come back with me."

That night, news of Yun Su returning home with Gu Jingtian spread throughout the club, and those who had previously mocked her were now eager to curry favor with her.

Yun Su didn't bring any of the club's things with her. She never imagined that she would be able to have her own home in Anshi so soon.

...

Back at the Gu residence, there was a beautiful, depressed young man inside. When he saw her, his eyes glazed over for a moment, but he quickly regained his clarity.

Yun Su recognized him; this was Gu Zhun, the legendary eldest son of the Gu family.

She took a candy out of her pocket and put it in the boy's hand.

"Eat more sugar, and life will be sweeter!"

The boy dodged his hand, but stared at her intently as he spoke.

You will regret coming here.

So Nu didn't take the child's words to heart, assuming he was just resentful that she had taken the place of her biological mother.

But this statement was soon proven true in the days that followed.

Gu Jingtian was capricious; if one's tone of voice did not meet his requirements, he would react negatively.

Or if you wear anything other than white, you'll be taken to a dark room, locked up, or severely beaten.

Until one day, Gu Jingtian died. He jumped to his death from his fourth-floor window.

Yun Su stood by the window and laughed out loud for the first time.

She had long since grown accustomed to wearing the white dress that Gu Jingtian had prepared for her.
