After Jiang Lan died, her guilt, her sleepless nights, even with all the glory, she always carried a heavy shackle...
Gu Shengyin listened silently.
Until Yan Zi finished speaking.
Yan Zi looked at her: "Jiang Lan, whether or not you believe me, in this life of mine, apart from that one thing with you, I can say I have no regrets."
Before Gu Shengyin could respond, she said, "But just that one thing makes it unforgivable for me for life."
Seeing Gu Shengyin still silent and unwilling to speak, Yan Zi thought that the other party simply couldnāt forgive her.
She gave a bitter smile, yet she understood Gu Shengyin very wellāitās understandable, seeing the enemy who killed you in your past life, how could you forgive so easily?
She picked up the thing in her hand, took a sip without even looking at it.
"I didnāt say these things today to gain your forgiveness."
"I just feel that I owe you an apology, Jiang Lan."
"If thereās anything you need help with in the future, just tell me if I can help, I will certainly do it without hesitation!"
Gu Shengyin finally looked up.
Under Yan Ziās expectant gaze, she simply said, "That wonāt be necessary."
Yan Ziās lips drooped: "You still refuse to talk to me?"
Gu Shengyin shook her head, and now she finally understood why the system said the taskās target had a hatred value of 0 towards her.
Turned out to be a reincarnated soul.
She said lightly, "I forgive you, but itās best we keep our interactions to a minimum."
Yan Zi carefully examined her expression, realizing nothing could be deduced from her face.
She sighed helplessly: "Your words mean that you erase the past lifeās grievances, but in this life, you still dislike me?"
Gu Shengyin neither admitted nor denied it.
Yan Zi understood her cold demeanor and didnāt find it surprising seeing her like this.
Gu Shengyin said, "If thereās nothing else, I should head back now."
Yan Zi glanced at the untouched snacks in front of her, sighed.
"Jiang Lan, I sincerely apologized to you and do want you as a friend."
Gu Shengyin finally looked directly at her face.
Her gaze was piercingly clear, Yan Zi felt as if flakes of snow in winter fell onto her face when she looked at her.
Chilling.
"I truly accepted your apology, and indeed donāt need friends."
After saying this, Gu Shengyin stood up: "I still have a client waiting at home, so I wonāt stay long."
She nodded to Yan Zi, turned around, and left.
Yan Zi watched her decisive back, silently picked up her coffee, and took another sip.
A bit bitter.
When Gu Shengyin got home, it was already 1:40 AM.
The lights in the house were still on.
As soon as she opened the door, she met Zhou Bingzhuās delighted gaze.
"Youāre back?"
Gu Shengyin responded with a hum.
Zhou Bingzhu looked her over from head to toe: "How was it? Did you get hurt? Was the task completed?"
Gu Shengyin felt a bit tired and walked towards the sofa: "Itās fine, the task is complete."
Zhou Bingzhu didnāt mind her indifference and continued behind her, "I called you just now but no one answered, I thought something happened."
Gu Shengyin sat on the sofa, squinted slightly with a sigh: "After completing the task, I went for a drink with a colleague, the phone broke."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Bingzhu suddenly got angry upon hearing this.
