When I was eighteen, Gu Qingshan lost a leg and an eye saving me.
But by the time he hobbled out of the hospital, he found that I had already attached myself to a rich man and no longer wanted him.
His eyes red, he asked me why. I sneered and replied:
“Because you're a useless wreck now.”
“Take a good look at yourself. You're a one-legged, blind dog now. Just looking at you makes me sick!”
“I'm exactly the kind of cruel, money-loving woman I seem to be. Did you really think you had some irresistible charm that would make me spend the rest of my life with a penniless loser?”
I left after saying that. As he pleaded with me again and again, I never once looked back.
Six years later, he became the merciless king of the gambling tables in Nanyang.
The first thing he did after returning home was smash the flower shop I depended on to make a living.
He scattered banknotes across the entire street and shouted that if I got down on my knees and kowtowed to him, all the money would be mine.
“Song Zhizhi, aren't you the one who loves money most? I've got more than enough now. Why are you still hiding like a coward?”
“If you don't come out right now, I'll flatten your whole flower shop!”
Floating in the air, I smiled ruefully.
He still didn't know that I was already dead.
That rainy night six years ago, when I abandoned him, was my last day in this world.
