Because of his father's feud, the man who once deeply loved me made me suffer unbearably

1

Chapter 1: Cannot Accept

"No, don't do it in front of my dad! Don't!"

Song Siman had countless times enjoyed intimacy beneath Gu Shaoting - in the bathroom, the office, the stairwell, the outdoors. Every time, she would moan and beg Gu Shaoting to give it to her.

But this time, though she was likewise pinned beneath Gu Shaoting, she cried hoarsely, screaming "Don't!"

Gu Shaoting's hands, which had once roamed every inch of the woman beneath him with tender ambiguity, now struck harder with each blow, as if this woman had never shared any carnal pleasure with him.

"Don't? Ha! Have you forgotten how you used to unbutton two buttons of your shirt in front of me just to hand me a cup of coffee, then rub yourself seductively against me?"

"Have you forgotten how, whenever you arrived at the CEO's office early, you'd hike up your skirt, sit on my lap, and enjoy yourself for quite a while?"

"Now you say don't? Putting on the innocent act for your crippled dead father in that wheelchair?"

With that, Gu Shaoting simply dragged Song Siman - her hands bound with a necktie, her body completely naked - to the edge of the office desk. In the wheelchair in front of the desk sat an old man, his head tilted, his whole body trembling, his eyes wide with fury!

The old man's mouth was twisted, drool running from it, his entire face red as he tried to speak, but only "wu wu" sounds could come from his mouth.

Song Siman tried to run, but was instantly pinned face-down over the office desk by Gu Shaoting, who forcefully entered her from behind.

Song Siman wished she could jump off a building and die right then!

This was happening in front of her father!

Gu Shaoting looked at the old man in the wheelchair. "Song Yuan, look - your daughter, your only daughter in this life, is being fucked by me. Not only that, she became my mistress when she was a college freshman. Whenever I want her, I just call her, and she comes running over, washes herself clean, strips naked, and lets me do her!"

Song Yuan could only make "wu wu!" sounds from his mouth.

Song Siman's throat had already gone hoarse. This man, who just yesterday had pinned her beneath him calling her "baby," why had he become like this today?

She simply could not accept it all at once.

"Shao Ting! You can't do this to me!"

"Can't I?" Gu Shaoting's hand cupped her full breast and squeezed hard, continuing to thrust into the woman beneath him. "Song Yuan, my mother was deceived by you back then. You made her abandon her husband and child. And in the end, how did you curse her? You said she was cheap herself. You clearly pushed her into the sea, yet you claimed she killed herself because she couldn't get over you!"

"It's your precious daughter who's really cheap. I bankrupted your company, never even said I'd marry her, yet she's desperate to throw herself at me every day. Haha, if I want her to use her mouth, she uses her mouth - cheap beyond compare in all the world!"

Song Yuan's old tears streamed down his face. He tried to prop himself up but collapsed onto the ground.

Song Siman had never known that there was such hatred between Gu Shaoting and her father!

Then what did the past ten years mean?

In her third year of middle school, the Song family declined and went bankrupt. In her first year of high school, she met Gu Shaoting, who was four years older than her. He had always taken care of her.

In her first year of university, she got into his bed. From then on, he practically doted on her to the heavens. Her university internship started at Gu Corporation. He had never said he would marry her.

But she knew the Song family was bankrupt. She had no family backing. To be Gu Shaoting's woman, she had to be outstanding. So she kept making herself stronger, hoping that one day she could be worthy of him.

She had loved him for ten years! A full ten years!

Song Siman's heart ached until it trembled. "Gu Shaoting! Why did you lie to me! Why!"

Her crying was too miserable and tragic, heart-wrenchingly so.

"Why? Who told Song Yuan, that beast who deserves to burn in hell, to have only one precious daughter like you? He pushed my mother into the sea. I make his daughter wish she were dead. You two don't come out at a loss, do you?"

Song Siman laughed and laughed, then cried.

The man she had loved for ten years - in the end, all he wanted was for her to feel the tearing and shattering of this love.

It was worse than wishing for death - more painful than walking on blades or being boiled in oil.

Song Siman never in her dreams imagined that right after her father, who had suffered severe trauma, was sent to the ICU, she would receive a court summons.

Crime of infringing on commercial secrets!

Chapter 2: The Leak

Song Siman had always deeply loved Gu Shaoting. She was his most capable secretary - how could she possibly help outsiders leak company secrets?

Plaintiff - Gu Shaoting!

Song Siman collapsed onto the ground, her hands and feet ice-cold. If it was Gu Shaoting behind this, then this prison sentence was certain.

　　——

Gu Corporation Building, CEO's Office.

Song Siman pushed open the door and looked at the man in the CEO's chair - handsome and elegant. She walked over step by step. "For the sake of the past ten years, can you withdraw the lawsuit?"

Humble. When had she ever been humble in front of him?

But after yesterday, she knew those affections had all been an illusion.

In front of him, she was nothing.

Song Siman was still wearing her secretary's work uniform - white shirt, black blazer, black sexy pencil skirt.

She used to look at him with a seductive, alluring smile. He said she was a little temptress, that he loved the way she was wild.

But now, there was no passion in her eyes.

"If you had any self-respect at all, you shouldn't have come to me." Gu Shaoting leaned back in his chair. "Haha, how could I forget - you're Song Yuan's daughter. You started being my mistress for money at 18. How could you possibly have self-respect?"

Song Siman's back trembled violently, as if someone she trusted stood behind her, and as she confidently walked forward, that person suddenly stabbed her in the back.

18? He still remembered that she got into his bed on her 18th birthday?

Mistress?

She had always thought she was his girlfriend. She never expected she was a mistress.

Her eyes hurt - an aching soreness. She had never shed tears in front of him. She had always smiled, because he said he loved to see her smile, that when she smiled, she was the most beautiful woman.

She walked up to him, hands braced on the office desk, seemingly casually shrugging. "Ten years - even if you raised a cat or a dog, you'd have feelings, wouldn't you?"

"But Song Yuan's daughter doesn't even count as a cat or dog."

Song Siman took a deep breath, then walked between Gu Shaoting's legs, squatting down, her fingers pulling down his zipper. "Withdraw the lawsuit. I'll do whatever you want."

Gu Shaoting reached out and pinched Song Siman's chin. "You think other women can't?"

"How could they be as skilled as me?" Song Siman's brows arched seductively, her hand already moving without restraint. "After all, I became your mistress at 18. It's been 7 years now. 7 years - with just one look from you, I know whether you want me on my stomach or on my back. Isn't that right?"

Song Siman had already lowered her head.

Every nerve in Gu Shaoting's body tensed tightly. The tense yet thrilling sensation made him let out a long breath.

He reached out and pressed down on her head, his fingers grabbing her hair, several times wanting to pull her away, but never following through.

"Song Siman, you're really cheap! Song Yuan saw me fuck you like that yesterday, and you can still seduce me?"

Song Siman felt that the person above her wasn't speaking words, but hurling knives down at her.

He was so cruel - truly not sparing even a shred of the ten years they'd shared.

His acting was so good. In ten years, he had never scolded her. In these two days, he had used every vicious and filthy word there was.

To make her covered in wounds, he had endured her for ten years.

In the end, he succeeded. Her heart now bled continuously, the pain unbearable.

Song Siman raised her head, a seductive charm flying from the corners of her eyes. Her pink tongue licked around her lips once. "I said it - as long as you withdraw the lawsuit, you can do whatever you want."

Chapter 3: The Accusation

Song Siman was accused of suspected sexual bribery of the plaintiff.

In the courtroom, the lawsuit was fought fiercely. Song Siman firmly denied disclosing the bid amount to Gu Lei.

She had always known that Gu Lei was Gu Shaoting's mortal enemy.

These two brothers had been fighting for how many years.

She loved Gu Shaoting so much - how could she possibly give the bottom price to the rival company?

But the man she had loved for ten years provided all the evidence.

"The entire project was handled by Song Siman. She had email exchanges with the bidding personnel of the competing company," Gu Shaoting said.

After seeing the evidence, Song Siman smiled bitterly. "Gu Shaoting, to take revenge on my father, you actually framed me? Those emails you had me send - they were to the rival company's bidding personnel?"

Song Siman tilted her head back and took a deep breath.

What could be more heartbreaking than being sent to the guillotine by the man you love?

He had schemed meticulously, all to make sure she could never rise again, hadn't he?

But she couldn't fall. Her father still had enormous medical bills that needed to be paid.

She had to prove her innocence. She had to work, to earn money.

She hadn't participated in the previous generation's affairs, but her father had doted on her deeply. She had to do what a daughter should do. Supporting him was her duty!

"I didn't do it! I'll hire a lawyer! I'll prove my innocence!" Song Siman forced herself to stay calm. She couldn't beat Gu Shaoting in power, but after all these years as his secretary, she still had connections.

The recess room.

Song Siman looked at Gu Shaoting, who had personally testified. "How much do you hate me? What did I ever do to you? Gu Shaoting, for ten years, I loved you with all my heart and soul - wasn't that enough? I loved you so much I wished I could give you my very life - wasn't that enough?"

Song Siman stared fixedly into Gu Shaoting's eyes, wanting to see even a trace of emotion in them.

Yet there was nothing.

"Song Siman, whether you appeal or not in this case, the evidence is conclusive. If you appeal, there'll be a period before the verdict comes down. Next week happens to be my engagement to Bai Yun - you can attend, and then the court will reconvene."

Song Siman shook her head. "What did you say? You and Bai Yun?"

Song Siman's voice trembled.

Gu Shaoting tilted his head. "Shall I send you an invitation?"

Song Siman stepped back several paces, collapsing into a chair. "You clearly know Bai Yun is my cousin. She and I have always been enemies. Even if I'm not good enough for you, you could marry anyone - why her??"

"Do I need to discuss with you whom I marry?"

She had never existed in his heart. How could a matter as important as marriage be discussed with her?

Even though she had grown accustomed to the open strife and veiled struggles, the surging tides of the business world over the years, she still believed her love with Gu Shaoting was beautiful.

But when beautiful things are torn apart, why does it cause such unbearable agony?

She could barely even breathe.

Song Siman's phone rang. It was the hospital calling. "Miss Song! The patient's heart suddenly stopped. We administered emergency treatment, but there are no vital signs. You know the situation when the patient was brought in. We did our best. The patient had no will to live..."

When Song Siman hung up the phone, she said "thank you" very calmly, as naturally as if she had just hung up on a real estate agent.

She walked past Gu Shaoting and out the door of the recess room.

At the reconvened court session, Song Siman was calm - not like the workplace elite who had earlier refused to admit guilt. She stood quietly in the defendant's dock, listening to the judge's statement.

"Defendant!"

Song Siman came back to her senses. She didn't look at the judge, but at Gu Shaoting. She smiled, very serenely, just like when she used to see him and call him "Shao Ting ge," looking especially obedient.

"Shao Ting ge, my dad is dead. Dead just like your mother. He got his retribution. I'm going to prison too. My father's sins - have they been repaid to you with interest? These ten years, I don't blame you for lying to me. The father's debt is paid by the daughter. I accept it."

"From now on, we're even! These past ten years, it's as if I never met you..." Tears burst from Song Siman's eyes. She turned to the judge, choked but firm and resolute, and said, "I plead guilty!"

Chapter 4: Pleading Guilty

I plead guilty!

Everything - her father's, her own.

The Song Siman Gu Shaoting knew was wildly seductive in bed and crisp and sharp once dressed. She would never admit defeat.

He had expected this lawsuit to go many more rounds. With Song Siman's temperament, she wouldn't give up until she achieved her goal.

When Song Siman said the three words "I plead guilty," Gu Shaoting was dazed for a moment. After the court adjourned, he sat for a long time before standing up.

His mind was buzzing.

"From now on, we're even."

Even?

Ten years, even?

"These past ten years, I never met you..."

Never met?

Before the day her father entered the ICU, he had never seen her cry, and now his mind was filled with the tears on her face.

Gu Shaoting shook his head. "We're even!"

He rose to leave the plaintiff's bench, and with a single step he nearly missed his footing and lost his balance.

"We're even!" He remembered the resolve in her voice when she said those three words, as if she had slammed a project list onto the conference table: "This project has to be mine!"

Determined to win!

Song Siman, there was nothing she could not do.

Gu Shaoting tugged at his tie and walked out of the courtroom. In his life from now on, there would be no more Song Siman.

　　——

Prison

Blood trickled from the corner of Song Siman's mouth as she sat astride a female inmate, swinging a shoe in her hand and smacking the woman across the face again and again: "Are you going to dare come near me again?"

"I won't! I won't!"

"Are you going to dare dump food you can't finish onto my tray again?" With that, two more smacks of the shoe.

"I won't! I won't!" the female inmate begged over and over.

Song Siman practiced taekwondo. Aside from Gu Shaoting, whom she could not beat, most people were no match for her.

In a place like prison, it was hard to avoid being bullied. She had wanted to let things slide, but she never expected these sons of bitches to push her so far!

She had to establish this authority, or else anyone would be able to climb over her head in the future.

In this world, only Gu Shaoting could bully her and leave her with no ability to fight back.

But she could only be hurt by him this once!

Just this once!

All the female inmates feared Song Siman; she was as fierce as a shrew.

When Song Siman learned she was pregnant, she was at a loss and did not know what to do.

When Xiao Ming came to visit Song Siman, she finally saw hope. Through the thick glass, she looked at Xiao Ming pleadingly. "Xiao Ming, help me with something."

In Xiao Ming's eyes, Song Siman had grown pitifully thin. His lips trembled with anger. "Why would Gu Shaoting do this to you? What does he want? Back then he warned me not to go near you, and I thought he truly loved you. I let go because I saw how much you loved him. Why didn't you find happiness!"

Xiao Ming's eyes reddened. "Song Siman! You idiot! Were your ten years of love fed to the dogs?"

Song Siman pressed her lips tightly together. "If I hadn't gone through it, how would I know I'm an idiot? Everything is cause and effect. Let's not bring up the past."

"Not bring it up? Why shouldn't we bring it up? He personally sent you to prison! Why shouldn't we bring it up?"

"I owe him, and I should repay it." Song Siman took a deep breath, trying her best not to let her worthless tears fall. "Now it's fully repaid."

Xiao Ming wanted to say more, but he held back and swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue.

Song Siman said, "Help me think of a way. You definitely can. I'm pregnant. Don't let anyone on the outside find out about my pregnancy. Even if they do, help me find a way to prove this child belongs to someone else."

"Gu Shaoting's child?"

"Yes."

"Why not abort it?"

"I can't."

"Why?"

"I will never fall in love with anyone again. Men, I won't dare touch them for the rest of my life. But this child is mine." Song Siman looked into Xiao Ming's eyes, and the tears she had held back finally broke free, rolling down her face.

Xiao Ming's fist slammed hard onto the stone counter. "You're denying all men for the sake of that one man?"

"At least for now, what's in my heart is that I don't dare want love anymore."

Xiao Ming knew Song Siman was utterly heartbroken, and she now had to adjust herself properly, or something would go wrong. He could not push her.

"I promise you."

　　————

On the day Song Siman gave birth, the doctor frowned as he performed a cesarean section on the fully anesthetized Song Siman. "Ah, economic crimes, they're all really smart people, they just let their minds wander down crooked paths. If they'd used that cleverness on the right path, how could they have ended up here?"

"Ah, so young, and she only has one kidney left."

Only one kidney left.

In her daze, Song Siman heard the doctors talking.

In the courtroom, she had accused him: "I was willing to give you my very life, and that still wasn't enough?"

Gu Shaoting, how could you be so cruel to me?

Thankfully, we're even now.

Chapter 5 Release

Two years and seven months later, Song Siman was released after serving her sentence.

The sunlight outside the high walls was blinding, but she had to face it and let the sun scorch her heart.

Song Siman put on her former work clothes and walked into the Gu Corporation building.

The receptionist had been replaced. "Miss, please sign in."

Song Siman smiled at the receptionist. "I'm your president Gu Shaoting's lover. He said I can come find him anytime."

Song Siman raised an eyebrow with allure, and ignoring the receptionist's astonished look, walked in her high heels toward the elevator.

Many old employees at Gu Corporation were also astonished when they saw Song Siman. "Secretary Song?"

Song Siman's lips curved in a professional smile. These people still remembered her? That was truly rare. When Gu Shaoting wanted to sue her, she had hoped they would testify on her behalf, and not one of them was willing to step forward.

"Oh, weren't you in prison? What are you doing here?"

"Exactly, the company never rehires anyone who leaks confidential information."

"I'm here to seduce your boss and get him to give me a job again." Song Siman's elevator reached her floor, and she walked out with flair.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

There was a knock on the president's office door. Gu Shaoting did not even look up. "Come in."

Song Siman walked in and closed the door.

Her high heels pressed into the carpet with a muffled sound. Gu Shaoting's hands, resting on the keyboard, paused, and he looked up.

Even with his composure, Gu Shaoting's paused fingers could not help but tremble slightly.

Song Siman!

She still wore delicate makeup. He could tell her skin was a bit darker than before, and she had grown thinner.

She looked at him and smiled, full of allure, but the light in her eyes was not what it once was, as if sanded down by the years.

"I'm out of prison." Song Siman smiled and drew closer to Gu Shaoting step by step.

Gu Shaoting leaned back, narrowing his handsome eyes, fixed on Song Siman. "Didn't you say we were even? Why come find me again?"

Song Siman gave a slight lift of her hips and sat on the desk in front of Gu Shaoting. She touched her earlobe. "I'm asking you for some money. Are you willing to spare me some? After all, a former chief secretary imprisoned for the crime of infringing commercial secrets, I'm afraid no company would want her. If I can't find work in a short time, why not give me some money?"

Gu Shaoting's eyes darkened. Song Siman took Gu Shaoting's hand and held it in her own palm. "I won't let you give it for nothing. Go ask the market rate for those women outside. I won't charge extra."

With that, she did not forget to give him a seductive smile.

Something sharp and stabbing pierced his lungs all at once. Gu Shaoting felt that the breath he drew in hurt a little.

He flung off Song Siman's hand. "Song Siman, get the hell out of here right now!"

Song Siman threw her head back and laughed, her laughter like silver bells, crisp and with a touch of allure. She raised her hand into the air and turned it over and over, examining it.

"Brother Shaoting probably thinks my skin isn't as smooth as before, right? Well, after more than two years in prison, what wouldn't one do? These hands, not only is the back of the hand no longer smooth, there are calluses on the palm too. A man like Brother Shaoting, what woman couldn't he find?"

After saying that, she did not forget to glance slyly at the man sitting in the president's chair. "Isn't that right?"

Gu Shaoting's expression was extremely grim. He had thought that when he saw Song Siman again, given her personality, she would probably come at him with a knife.

But she hadn't.

She wore her old work clothes and walked into his office, and she was unbuttoning her buttons. She had grown thinner, her chest no longer as full as it once was, as if about to burst out.

The body hidden by her clothes was still very fair, just as before.

A hot current surged through him, a wave of male hormones running wild.

Song Siman hiked up her short skirt and, as skillfully as before, lifted her leg and sat down on Gu Shaoting.
