The most embarrassing night in Song Wantang's life was when he was caught in the rain for two hours in front of the Gu family's old house.
Her boyfriend of three years broke up with her through a WeChat message. She went to get her things and met Gu Yanci, the legendary unkind uncle of the Gu family.
The man was sitting in a rosewood chair, holding a cup of ginseng tea, and looked at her for two seconds through the rain. That look wasn't contempt, it wasn't sympathy, it was something more hurtful than that - it was classification.
"Since Xingzhou is the one who said it's over, it has nothing to do with the Gu family from now on. Seeing off guests."
Half a year later.
Song Wantang opened a flower shop called "Chi Mu" deep in the alley. A black Maybach parked at the entrance of the alley. Gu Yanci walked in against the light and bought a bouquet of gardenias. Every evening after that, the car would show up on time.
Beijing Circle exploded. What's even more exciting is that this woman's identity was revealed: she is Gu Xingzhou's ex-girlfriend.
Everyone thought this was a rich game. But only Gu Yanci knew that what he saw that rainy night was not his "nephew's ex-girlfriend", but a girl who stood straight in the face of humiliation.
He stepped down from the altar and walked for half a year. When he walked up to her, he was no longer the leader of the Gu family, but just a man who had learned to be afraid.
"You once made me stand in the rain for two hours."
"Then I will let you kneel in the rain for the rest of your life."
