"Hmm, and prepare another dose of this dicine for ," Gu Shaocheng said, his eyes swirling with dark tides.
Tian Buyu was puzzled, and after a mont of hesitation, he said, "Sir, this dicine is too cruel. What do you intend to do with it?"
Such a heinous act really shouldn’t be done. If one wishes to deal with a person, it’s better to do it quickly and cleanly, to let them die a swift death.
"What if it’s used against the person who was after my mother?" he said, narrowing his eyes.
Tian Buyu swallowed the words he had in mind, fell silent for a long ti, then nodded and quietly left the office.

In the Gu Family’s courtyard.
Chenxing strolled leisurely, walking along, pausing now and then to look at the flowers and plants. As she walked, she ca to a stone known as the Three-Life Stone and her steps halted. She gazed at the stone sculpture of herself and Shaocheng and at the words she had personally engraved, her lips curling into a happy smile.
She couldn’t help but hum a song, "The Three-Life Stone," enjoying the lyrics.
"Even if it’s fate arising or fate extinguishing, eting and parting, what does it matter? It’s all destined, engraved upon the Three-Life Stone..."
She lingered in front of the Three-Life Stone for a long ti until her phone rang.
It was an unknown number, but Chenxing, seeing it was from the city, answered the call to hear a man’s husky voice: "Chenxing, it’s Jianqing."
Chenxing’s expression darkened slightly, her heart still harboring resentnt over his previous attempt to assassinate Shaocheng in India, so her tone was not very pleasant: "It’s you? What do you want? If there’s nothing, I’m hanging up."
"Could we et in person?"
Of course, she didn’t want to et. Was there any need to see each other?
Not sharing the sa path, not intending to make plans together, besides, she didn’t want to upset Shaocheng, so she decisively refused. "Sorry, I’m busy and don’t have the ti to et with you."
"..."
"If there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up."
She said, and without waiting for the other person to continue, she cut off the call. She had already decided to sever ties with the past, from the mont he plotted to harm Shaocheng, they weren’t even friends anymore!
A mont later, a text ssage arrived on her phone.
Chenxing took out her phone again and read the ssage: "Can we et in person? I just want to say sorry to your face, for the hurt my father caused you. Maybe you don’t need this apology, and maybe you even disdain it. But still, I want to apologize to your face for the hurt my parents caused yours and to you back then. Chenxing, I know all the truth now, and I know I have no right to say these three words, I’m truly sorry..."
The ssages were not just one; each was filled with sincere emotion.
Chenxing read carefully, her heart mixed with various emotions.
Actually, thinking about it, Jianqing was also quite unfortunate to have such parents. If he hadn’t thought of harming Shaocheng back then, they could still have been friends. But he hurt Shaocheng and indirectly caused Huanhuan to be prematurely born, which she could not tolerate.
But after so thought, she decided to et him, to make a clean break, so that henceforth they would go their separate ways, becoming re strangers to each other.
...............
In a cafe at the city centre square.
Chenxing pushed open the door of the cafe, finding the man who had asked to et her at a table by the window.
