Time between the two of them transformed into a vast sea of sand, an insurmountable barrier, imbued with a desolate, granular quality.
After a pause, Jiang Shilan said nothing more, but looked at Gu Yiming and roared at him: "Since you want me to be a prostitute and an unchaste woman so badly, I'll tell you, I, Jiang Shilan, look down on you. I think you, Gu Yiming, are a fool. You have nothing but money. You look down on people and are easy to fool. I'm going to cheat on you. I'm going to tell you that I, Jiang Shilan, look down on you. So what? What can you do about it? I'm cheating on you, so what?"
After saying this, Jiang Shilan fell silent, only looking at the angry Gu Yiming. The two remained silent for a moment.
In that moment, Jiang Shilan didn't want to say anything. She just looked at the chain on her wrist. Gu Yiming had given her this chain, saying that she was the only one for him in his life, but now it seemed so ironic.
The bracelet is named "Unique," and it is made from the most precious star gemstones from South Africa. It was personally crafted and designed by Gu Yiming. At the time, a French auction house offered 100 million francs to buy the bracelet, but Gu Yiming refused. Gu Yiming said that the bracelet represents his love for Jiang Shilan, which will last until death and the seas run dry and the rocks crumble.
Looking back now, it's truly ironic. All that talk of unwavering devotion until death, of vows that last until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, now seems like nothing more than a huge joke. It's all utterly useless.
Taking off the only thing she held in her hand, Jiang Shilan said to Gu Yiming, "You told me that we would be together until the seas dry up and the rocks crumble, that we would stay together until death. You also told me that we would hold hands and grow old together. Now it seems that it was just a mirage you gave me. I don't care. Now I, Jiang Shilan, have cheated on you. I don't want you anymore, Gu Yiming. From now on, we are even."
Jiang Shilan threw the chain away, and the gemstones sparkled beautifully in the sunlight, as dazzling and beautiful as shooting stars, just like Gu Yiming and Jiang Shilan's beloved minister, seemingly beautiful, but actually so pitiful inside.
Jiang Shilan picked up her baby and walked away from Gu Yiming with her head held high like a knight. At that moment, Gu Yiming was truly stunned. He never expected that Jiang Shilan would leave him so decisively, leaving behind their love.
In the moment of his astonishment, Jiang Shilan had already left her room. The moment she stepped out of the door, Jiang Shilan felt the bitterness of tears. How many years had it been since she had cried? How many years had it been since she had cried? She asked herself this question countless times, but all she got was that heartbreaking answer. Tears streamed down her face more than once.
Jiang Shilan shed tears, but this time Gu Yiming would never see them, and no one would comfort her anymore. Poor child.
Jiang Shilan was having a hard time, but Gu Yiming was having an even harder time. He didn't know how he got back to the company. When he arrived, Gu Yiming was still staring blankly at the bracelet. The starry sky gem on the bracelet represented a lifetime of unwavering loyalty, until death do us part. This represented Gu Yiming's loyalty to Jiang Shilan. But now! Jiang Shilan had betrayed him.
Just as Gu Yiming was lost in thought, he suddenly realized something. The door lock, the door lock. When he went there, the door lock was not closed, and it seemed to have been deliberately locked. What was going on? Could it be that someone was deliberately setting Gu Yiming up?
Gu Yiming felt increasingly uneasy. Based on his businessman's intuition, Gu Yiming understood that if CEOs wanted to have an affair, they would take precautions to keep it a secret. Moreover, even if they were caught, the hotel staff would take precautions to prevent any major leaks. But what about Jiang Shilan?
Obviously, there are too many suspicious points. Both Gu Yiming and Jiang Shilan would have questions. Gu Yiming knows Jiang Shilan well. If she really wanted to have an affair, he would not be able to find any excuse or any evidence. So how come she was caught so easily this time?
Gu Yiming was feeling restless, clutching the bracelet with some annoyance. He couldn't help but regret thinking about Jiang Shilan's tears. Had he really wronged Jiang Shilan?
Thinking of this, Gu Yiming wanted to explain, but his pride wouldn't allow him to do so. He was the CEO, and he couldn't possibly beg a young girl for help.
She needed to wait, to wait for Jiang Shilan to talk to her and give her an explanation, but was that even possible?
Back home, Jiang Hua slumped into a chair, feeling a wave of frustration. Her mind was filled with images of Gu Yiming. Just thinking about him made her head buzz, her heart pound for no apparent reason, and she felt a surge of sadness, almost to the point of tears.
Suddenly, I remembered someone's words: "A woman cannot rely on a man; only by grasping the reins of her career can she be truly strong." For some reason, this statement suddenly felt incredibly true. Despite all I've done, it seems Gu Yiming has never even noticed me.
Jiang Hua's face paled, she sighed, and shakily got up. After tidying herself up, she collapsed onto the bed, burying herself in it. Her mind was still in turmoil, and she couldn't help but call her assistant: "Fill out my schedule for the next few days."
After she finished speaking, the assistant paused for a moment, not reacting. After a long silence, Jiang Hua assumed the assistant had hung up. "Why so suddenly?" Actually, she was a little worried because this was not like her usual style at all. It seemed that something must have happened that made her want to numb herself through work.
"It's okay. Please make the arrangements for me. I'm going to sleep now." Jiang Hua hurriedly hung up the bed and lay sprawled out on the floor. Gu Yiming's image was constantly on her mind. "What an idiot! If I really wronged you, would I still sit there waiting for you to come back and catch me cheating? If I really wanted to do something, I would have just done it behind your back."
Jiang Hua forced herself to sleep, seething with anger, while Gu Yiming, also awake, stood by the floor-to-ceiling window drinking. The emotions in his eyes as he gazed at the night view were unreadable to anyone. Perhaps he was apologizing for his recklessness that day, or perhaps he was still trying to justify his actions.
As the lights gradually dimmed, a single ray of light appeared in the room. The smoke obscured his face, making him appear even more mysterious and unfathomable.
"Just wait a bit, she'll explain when she gets back." He exhaled a strong puff of smoke, extinguished the cigarette, and turned to go to the bathroom.
The next day, Jiang Hua woke up a little late. Her assistant called her from the doorway for a while before she heard him. She glanced at the clock and it was already past nine. The assistant initially wanted to scold her, but seeing her very unpleasant expression, she softened her tone and began arranging the upcoming activities.
Jiang Hua looked at the script in her hand and felt a sense of powerlessness. After her assistant dutifully finished explaining all the tasks, she asked if she needed to reduce a few. After all, artists are human too, and too much work is unbearable.
"No need. This is fine." After saying that, Jiang Hua seriously began to read the script in her hands, forcing herself to absorb everything. The assistant, very perceptive, said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?" After seeing Jiang Hua nod, the assistant gave her a helpless look and turned to go downstairs.
