Jiang Zhiyi knelt on the cold tiles, her fingertips still stained with wet blood. The grandfather clock in the living room pointed to two in the morning. Gu Chenzhou's phone buzzed on the coffee table, and as the screen lit up, it reflected the lock screen wallpaper: a beaming, radiant woman—his white moonlight, Lin Wanwan.
"Mr. Gu, Miss Lin has suddenly developed a high fever at the airport. You..." the assistant's voice came through the receiver. Without a moment's hesitation, Gu Chenzhou grabbed his suit jacket. As he passed Jiang Zhiyi, who was curled up on the floor, he left behind only a chilling command: "Clean up the floor."
The heavy slam of the glass door made Jiang Zhiyi shiver violently. Looking at the wound on her palm cut by the shards of the porcelain bowl, she suddenly thought of that snowy night three years ago. Back then, she was still the heiress of the Jiang family, while Gu Chenzhou was merely a self-made entrepreneur starting from scratch. On that rainy night when her family went bankrupt, he had held her and promised, "Zhiyi, once I make a comeback, I will definitely marry you in grandeur."
