Chapter 1 About to Die
"Mrs. Gu, you have an advanced cancer."
I replied the doctor with a pale face, "what?"
The doctor pressed his arm against the medical record and said word by word, "Mrs. Gu, your curettage surgery was not thorough when you had that miscarriage two years ago. Coupled with the subsequent infection, it has resulted in the carcinogenesis of the uterus."
I interrupted him with tears and asked, "how much time is left for me?"
"The cancer cells have metastasized, and you have at most three months."
I couldn’t hear anything else the doctor said. My mind was buzzing with the message that I only had three months to live.
¡¡
In the night at the villa of Gu family.
I could not stand the fierce impact from a man, and lied prone on the bed like a dead dog while enjoying the joy he had brought me. At the moment of o****m, I couldn’t help groaning.
The man made a humph in a low voice and then got off from me for a shower. I burrowed my head in the pillow, feeling desolated.
It was my husband, Gu Tingchen, who was having s*x with me.
I regarded him as my husband, but he regarded me as a p********e!
For three years, he would leave for a shower after s*x every time he was back to the villa, as if he had touched something dirty. After the shower, he would leave with a cold face.
From the beginning to the end, he would not say anything to me.
After coming out from the bathroom, he put on his suit and was about to leave as usual.
I sat naked on the bed and called softly at him.
He compressed his thin lips and looked at me with indifference in his eyes.
In the face of his indifferent eyesight, all I wanted to say was choked in my throat. Finally, I could only say: "be careful on the way."
There was the sound of car horn downstairs. I got off the bed naked, stared at the black Maybach downstairs and called Gu Tingchen.
He answered the call impatiently, "what's up?"
We have been married for three years. When he married me, he was actually in love with another woman, but my father-in-law threatened him with that woman's life and forced him to marry me.
He had resisted, but was finally forced to give up his beloved woman to marry me.
For three years, he treated me coldly and brutally.
Especially when we were in the bed, he liked me lying down like a dog calling that woman's name-Wen Ruyan.
He had never spared any effort in humiliating me.
I remember that I was only fourteen years old when I fell in love with Gu Tingchen. It was the budding stage of love, when one would solemnly put his or her beloved one in the heart. He was the piano teacher of the next class.
Until now, I still don't know why I liked a strange man seven or eight years older than me. Perhaps it was because he was handsome and spoke in a warm tone, or because he was playing the song my mother had last played for me before she died when I first listened to him playing the piano.
For a reason I didn’t know, I followed Gu Tingchen for months that year until he left the piano class and I couldn’t find him anymore.
I didn’t even have a chance to ask what his name was.
In the next few years, I couldn't find the man who played the piano, until the chairman of Gu family asked me to be his daughter-in-law.
Shi family was rich, and was the most powerful family in Wu city. I was the daughter of the Shi family. Before I met Gu Tingchen, my parents had a plane crash, and died with not even a bone left.
I became the most powerful person in Wu city.
It was also in this period of time when I felt the loneliest and saddest that I met Gu Tingchen, who felt warm at that time.
We met for a few times. He knew I had been following him, but he never cared about my stalking and did not chase me away. When it was late, he would gently remind me: "it’s time to go home, you little girl. Otherwise, your parents will be worried. Plus, it’s also dangerous for a girl to be alone at such a late time."
Thinking of that time, I would still feel warm in my heart.
I felt that Gu Tingchen was gentle and considerate at that time.
When I closed my eyes, I would regret the most for accepting the engagement proposal from Gu family three years ago. Originally, I had been disdainful, because there were countless families attempting to unite with my family through marriage at that time.
But when his father took out his picture and when I saw a familiar face on it, my heart trembled with expectations.
Because that man was the man I had been thinking about day and night.
I took a dramatic step towards gambling.
I gamble that Gu Tingchen would marry me.
I gambled that we would be a loving couple although there was not love in our marriage .
I gamble that he would take care of me and be considerate of me like a good husband.
However, he kept humiliating me all the time.
He even asked me to abort my child two years ago.
In the presence of the doctor, regardless of my self-esteem and inner expectations, he said ruthlessly: "Shi Sheng, you do not deserve to bear my child."
Gu Tingchen had hated me so much as to have his baby aborted!
He had forgotten.
He had forgotten the little girl who followed him every day.
In his eyes, I was just a women who had threatened his father with the power of the Shi family and forced his beloved woman to leave.
In his heart, I was way too guilty to be forgiven.
I was lost in thinking about the past. Perhaps because I was silent for too long, Gu Tingchen said in a cold voice, "don't challenge my patience. As you know, I have no patience with you."
I came to myself. Suppressing the great misery in my heart, I said with a smile, "Gu Tingchen, let's make a deal."
