The thing that Xie Qingyi regretted most in her life was picking Gu Tingshen back from the pile of dead people on that rainy night.
At that time, she was the reformer of the Gu Group. She was ruthless and feared by everyone. He was a strange man who was being hunted by his enemies and was dying. She saved him just to prove to the board of directors that she, Xie Qingyi, would also be soft-hearted.
Three years later, Gu Tingshen became the sharpest knife of the Gu family. He cleared all obstacles for her and blocked all open and hidden arrows for her. Everyone said that Gu Tingshen was a good dog raised by Xie Qingyi.
Until the secret lover shows up.
The woman who looked very similar to Xie Qingyi held Gu Tingshen's hand and called her "sister" with a smile.
Only then did Xie Qingyi realize that in the past three years, every time he bowed his head, every time he surrendered, every time he hugged her late at night and said "my life is yours" - it was all a lie.
He has been waiting for this day.
Wait for her to hand Mrs. Gu into his hands, wait for her to cut out her heart and hold it in front of him, wait for her to fall hopelessly in love with him.
Then, crush everything in front of her.
"Thank you," Gu Tingshen looked at her condescendingly, his eyes as cold as knives, "Do you think you are repaying a favor? No, you are paying off a debt. You save my life, and I will repay you for three years. Now, the two are cleared."
Xie Qingyi knelt in the heavy rain, covered with injuries, and laughed out loud.
"Gu Tingshen, you are right." She raised her head, and the light in her eyes dimmed little by little, "But I, Xie Qingyi, have never been able to take your life if you want."
