When the driver took the two young women to the beach, the weather started changing drastically. It rained, and there were strong winds.
By the time the car stopped by the seaside mansion, the rain had already turned into a vicious storm.
“Wait for me in the car. I’ll come out right after I return the money.” Gu Mian did not want Su Qianxun to get out of the car. The rain was quite heavy. If her friend came with her, she would be soaking wet too.
She planned to leave right after she handed Tang Ming the money. Since the typhoon had yet to arrive, they could still head back to the city in time.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you.” Su Qianxun thought for a moment and decided not to go into the house with her. Gu Mian probably had something private to say to Tang Ming.
After all, the nature of their past relationship was rather intimate.
Gu Mian held the black backpack in her arms tightly. She opened the car door and ran towards the mansion. Tang Ming had already spotted her from a distance away. He immediately opened the door to welcome her. He grabbed her hand and dragged her into the mansion.
Gu Mian had only walked a short distance to the mansion, but she was completely drenched. Tang Ming was very concerned. He dragged her into the mansion and said, “I didn’t expect it to rain. If I knew it was going to rain, I wouldn’t have asked you to come here. Go take a shower first. I’m going to make you ginger soup… so that you won’t catch a cold… also, I have already asked my father to give me this mansion. Tang Zui won’t come here anymore…”
Tang Ming stopped prattling the moment Gu Mian withdrew her arm. He turned to look at her, and she forced a smile at him. “I’m here to return the money.”
Tang Ming was dumbstruck.
“This bag of money is for you. Qianxun is still waiting for me outside. I’m leaving now. Goodbye.” Gu Mian placed the backpack on the floor. She then turned and walked away.
Tang Ming suddenly put his arms around her. Gu Mian’s body went stiff instantly. She heard Tang Ming’s raspy voice ring out behind her ear. “Mian Mian, don’t leave. You can’t do this to me!”
“Tang Ming, I was married. I’m no longer the right person for you. You should look for a better woman… and that woman will never ever be me!” Gu Mian mumbled. In this moment, she was in so much emotional pain that every breath she took hurt.
“I don’t want to. I don’t want anyone else! Mian Mian, have you forgotten about the great time we spent with each other?” Reluctant to let go, Tang Ming held her even tighter.
“None of that is important anymore. I’ve already returned the money. I have to go now.”
Gu Mian would not forget the time they spent together, but she could only put her memories with him in the depths of her heart and keep it with care.
“Mian Mian, don’t be so cruel to me. You can’t be with Tang Zui. You guys will not be happy together!” Agitated, Tang Ming suddenly spun her around to face him.
“I know.” Gu Mian smiled as she gazed at him, but her smile was awfully faint.
“Mian Mian, I know that he must have forced you into this, hasn’t he? You guys are already divorced. Tang Zui just wants to humiliate you. He once said that what he hates the most in life are mistresses!
Hearing what he said, Gu Mian turned even paler. What Tang Zui hated the most were mistresses, so he turned her into one…
Gu Mian felt dirty and pathetic all of sudden. She was standing in front of the person who used to be the love of her life and the subject of her purest and fondest memory. But she had become the filthiest and most disgusting person in the world.
She suddenly shoved the man before her away with all her might and stumbled backwards.
“Mian Mian…”
“I have already returned the money. Do not come to find me again! We’re done!” Gu Mian said and ran out of the mansion. The moment she dashed out into the rain, tears streamed down her face. Her tears blended into the rainwater as they rolled down her cheeks. Only in the rain did she allow herself to cry.
