I thought he would be angry and scold me for asking for too much, but to my surprise, he just paused for a moment and said, "Okay, see you tonight."

Three years ago, we co-founded a clothing brand called Evening Banquet High-End Customization, which is now thriving.

At the time, Gu Yanqing provided the funding, and I was in charge of the design. For me, it was like getting something for nothing.

The company is now valued at hundreds of millions and could go public at any time, with unlimited potential for wealth. Yet, in order to be with Jiang Yi, he was willing to give the company to me.

It seems they are the true love.

When I got up, I looked at the wedding supplies piled up all over the room and felt an eyesore. I wished I could burn them all down.

I called some people over and ordered them to pack up everything in the house that belonged to the man.

I'm so glad! Luckily, I insisted on consummating the marriage on our wedding night, otherwise I would have had to sacrifice my chastity, which would have been even more disgusting.

After I finished tidying up the house, changed my clothes, and carefully put on makeup, I heard the sound of a car engine coming from the courtyard.

Gu Yanqing is back.

Accompanying Gu Yanqing was my former future mother-in-law, Li Qinglan.

I was secretly taken aback.

Is this because the mother is afraid her son will suffer a loss, so she's keeping watch?

"You're back." I sat upright on the sofa without getting up to greet her. After greeting Gu Yanqing, my gaze swept over Li Qinglan. "Auntie is here too."

Li Qinglan looked embarrassed, smiled and said, "Didn't we already start calling her 'Mom' a long time ago? Why are you calling her 'Auntie' again?"

I smiled and said bluntly, "My mother died a long time ago."

The implication was that she was not worthy.

Li Qinglan's face looked as if it had been cut open; all expression vanished instantly.

Gu Yanqing's expression was equally grim. He approached and said, "Jiang Wan, I'm the one who's wronged you. Don't blame my mother."

"It's the father's fault for not raising his child properly, so you mean—I should blame your dad?"

"Jiang Wan!" Gu Yanqing suddenly raised his voice, clearly angered.

I slightly pursed my lips, adopting an indifferent attitude.

Li Qinglan tugged at Gu Yanqing and whispered, "Talk it out, don't fight."

Gu Yanqing then calmed down, pulled up his trousers, and sat down on the single sofa next to me.

He took out a document and pushed it in front of me: "As you wish, the entire company is yours, and our engagement is off."

I reached out and took the contract, then flipped through it.

"The company is the company, but you took my wedding dress, so you should pay for it, right?" I glanced at him and said calmly.

Gu Yanqing frowned, probably not expecting me to be so petty.

"How much is the wedding dress?" he asked.

"Friendly price, one million."

Li Qinglan was shocked. "Jiang Wan, are you robbing me?"

"Auntie, what's the price range for my work in the fashion industry? Should I have your son explain it again?" I glanced at him with a cold eye.

"..." The mother and son both fell silent, not uttering a word.

"Besides, you don't have to." I shrugged slightly, still maintaining my indifferent attitude, but then changed the subject, "However, Jiang Yi definitely wants the wedding dress, so no matter how expensive it is, President Gu will buy it."

Gu Yanqing looked at me, his eyes filled with surprise.

I know I was right.

From the day Jiang Yi stepped into the Jiang family's gate, she would snatch anything I wanted, even if it was a pile of dog poop.

It's just a wedding dress; you can buy one anywhere if you have the money.

But Gu Yanqing insisted on taking away the wedding dress that I painstakingly made by hand. Isn't that what Jiang Yi wanted?

Sure enough, Gu Yanqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, one million it is."

Li Qinglan looked at her son, "Are you crazy? Do you have too much money to burn?"

"Mom, don't worry about this." Gu Yanqing ignored Li Qinglan's objection and looked at me again. "Jiang Yi is seriously ill and can't choose the jewelry for the wedding. She said that since you've already chosen them, why not give them to her?"

Although I had prepared myself mentally, I was still stunned for a moment when I heard this.

"Gu Yanqing, if Jiang Yi wants my life, are you going to hire an assassin to take my head?" I couldn't help but sneer.

Gu Yanqing quickly denied it, "Xiao Wan, Jiang Yi is not that kind of person. You have a deep misunderstanding about her. She is indeed seriously ill and has no way to prepare these things, and you don't need them anyway."

I watched him silently as he defended another woman, a mocking smile playing on my lips: "Gu Yanqing, do you still remember the promise you once made to me?"

He said that I saved his life, and he would never let me down, and would love only me for the rest of his life.

Gu Yanqing met my eyes, his face showing a hint of embarrassment, and said with a lack of confidence, "Xiao Wan, of course I love you. I just pity her, I feel sorry for her... She's so young, two years younger than you, and she has a terminal illness and doesn't have much time left. She's your sister. Knowing that she's about to die, aren't you even a little sad?"

I remember when I was little, Jiang Yi would often cut up my clothes and throw dirty things into my bed. When I screamed in fright, she would laugh out loud.

Of course, I didn't let her get away with it. I grabbed those disgusting things and chased after her, stuffing them into her mouth, scaring her so much that she tumbled down the stairs.

In the end, my biological father and stepmother ganged up on me and beat me up. I was not satisfied, so when they were not at home, I cut all the clothes in their closet to shreds.

In the years I've fought against the Jiang family, I've suffered a lot, but they haven't fared much better. However, I'm outnumbered and outmatched, and I've ultimately been suppressed.

No one can understand how much I hate Jiang Yi and my stepmother.

When I heard that Jiang Yi was going to die, how could I possibly be sad?

I couldn't help but gloat, "Yeah, she's so young and beautiful, and she's about to pass away. My stepmother must be heartbroken. So pitiful..."
