Guan Zhi nodded and said, "Third Young Master does have a bad temper, youâll get used to it. After a while, youâll know what topics you can touch and which ones you canât."
"For example...?"
"For example, Miss Song, your earlier behavior."
"What did I do?" Song Jiaqi said to herself, lowering her head,
"Miss Song, you must have said something that upset Miss. An Hao, causing her condition to suddenly change."
On their way back, Song Jiaqi said helplessly, "What could I have said to provoke her? If you donât have a guilty conscience, you donât fear ghosts knocking at your door at midnight. Everything I said was something she did herself. Feeling guilty, perhaps?"
"Actually..." Guan Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Miss. An Hao hasnât been doing well these past few years."
"Whether her life is good or bad, it doesnât seem to have much to do with me, right? Ultimately, it wasnât me who harmed her."
"Of course," Guan Zhi nodded and said, "thereâs a saying that goes, âyou reap what you sow,â and Miss. An Hao often says this about herself. She says that the predicament sheâs in today is all because she made a wrong choice back then. So up to this day, no matter what the heavens have in store for her, she would calmly accept it. Yet, despite being composed for so many years, she suddenly rebelled one day, which surprised Third Young Master. On the day it happened, indeed, after having a meal with you, Miss Song, she said a few words in the car and then jumped out. I think she may have wanted to end her life like this, to atone for her sins."
Song Jiaqi was silent for a few seconds, then smiled bitterly and said, "To atone for her sins by death... or is it just to drag someone else down with her? If she dies, sheâd want me to accompany her to the grave. What kind of âgood friendâ must I have been in my past life to deserve knowing her? If we hadnât known each other from the start, I wouldnât have ended up like this."
Guan Zhi didnât intend to say anything good on An Haoâs behalf, so he didnât try to persuade her, nor would he impose his thoughts on her, but he said, "But Miss Song, I must remind you, Third Young Master does as he says, if Miss. An Hao really dies, you might..."
"I know, so is my life completely tied to hers?" Song Jiaqi nodded resignedly, "Forget it... In any case, my life is just like this, perhaps I owed her in my past life."
Because she couldnât change it, she made no efforts in a futile struggle.
"Youâve been with Brother Three Gu for a long time?"
"For a long time."
"Longer than An Hao?"
"Much longer."
"So when did they get together?"
"Seven years ago."
Song Jiaqi paused for a moment at this point in time.
Seven years ago?
Exactly seven years ago?
Hiss...
"Could it be..." Song Jiaqi suddenly slapped her forehead, looking very regretful.
"?" Guan Zhi, "Miss Song, what happened to you?"
"How could I have forgotten about this! I really..." She slapped her head hard.
She actually forgot about Gu Tianyu completely!
If An Hao didnât weigh so heavily in her mind, she would surely have forgotten too! As for what happened back then, she long stopped wanting to investigate it, therefore living peacefully for these seven years, never thinking of seeking revenge until this moment...
Gu Tianyu!
It was him who got An Hao out of the police station back then!
The surveillance footage that Qianxun found through her husband, it was indeed the scene where An Hao and Gu Tianyu appeared together!
It was An Hao who harmed her back then, thatâs true, but Gu Tianyu was the other accomplice!
