Chapter 24: Are you going to watch me die with your own eyes?

A Zhong ran forward to stop Qin Shu: "Madam."

He looked up and saw Qin Shu's desolation, her reddened eyes, and that face streaming with tears; the words A Zhong had originally intended to say instantly stuck in his throat.

Over these past five years, A Zhong had never seen Qin Shu so heartbroken.

He instantly froze in place.

Qin Shu pushed him aside, staggered into the elevator, and the elevator doors slowly closed in front of Gu Tingyan.

Gu Tingyan's face was pale; he chased after her quickly, pressing the elevator button repeatedly and pounding on the doors: "Qin Shu!"

The doors of another elevator opened, and Gu Tingyan turned and walked inside.

The elevator was plummeting downward continuously.

The elevator opened, and Qin Shu walked out from inside.

The doors of the other elevator also opened, and Gu Tingyan chased after her.

"Qin Shu!"

Chu Sheng also chased out.

Chu Sheng was crying; she held a sharp fruit knife to her own artery and threatened Gu Tingyan with a hoarse, desperate voice: "Gu Tingyan, if you dare to leave today, I will die right in front of you!"

She had to gamble with her life to make Qin Shu completely give up on Gu Tingyan.

Gu Tingyan could only be hers!

Gu Tingyan closed his eyes tightly and took a step forward.

"Ah..." Chu Sheng held the knife, a ruthless glint in her eyes, and slashed it fiercely toward her own wrist.

The sharp fruit knife cut through her wrist; she cut deep, leaving a gruesome, gaping wound on her wrist, and bright red blood flowed out continuously.

If she didn't cut deep enough, she wouldn't be able to keep Gu Tingyan.

If Gu Tingyan left, she would be the one he had driven to death.

Gu Tingyan would forever carry the burden of her, Chu Sheng's, life—guilt, haunting him day and night; whenever he saw Qin Shu, he would have to think of her.

He would never have a happy life with Qin Shu!

Chu Sheng actually dared to use suicide to threaten Gu Tingyan!

Chu Sheng clutched her blood-soaked wrist, the pain reaching an extreme, causing her body to tremble slightly.

She stared at Gu Tingyan's back, her voice weak and choked with sobs: "Gu Tingyan, I'm in so much pain."

From behind came Chu Sheng's desolate laughter: "Gu Tingyan, I'm dying."

Chu Sheng laughed in a sickly manner: "Are you going to watch me die with your own eyes?"

"I'm in so much pain... so much pain... so much pain..."

Chu Sheng said in a hoarse voice: "Tingyan, I'm dying."

Gu Tingyan's body froze in place; in his mind, he saw a car speeding toward him and Chu Sheng, and Chu Sheng reaching out to push him away.

At that time, he had thought she was dead.

Gu Tingyan turned his head and saw Chu Sheng holding the knife, her hands covered in blood, the blood gushing out uncontrollably.

Gu Tingyan glanced at Qin Shu, his gaze landing on her tear-stained face, his fingers clenching tightly into a fist.

Qin Shu curled her lips in a faint smile and looked up to meet Chu Sheng's gaze.

Chu Sheng's hands were covered in blood, the blood dripping onto the floor.

She smiled at Qin Shu with a near-manic obsession; as if she couldn't feel the pain, she clutched her bleeding wrist, her eyes fixed straight on Qin Shu.

Guess, will Gu Tingyan choose me, or you?

Gu Tingyan saw Chu Sheng cut her artery, his expression shifted slightly, his pupils constricted; he ran toward her like a madman, scooped Chu Sheng up, and ran out quickly.

The moment Gu Tingyan brushed past Qin Shu, his voice was hoarse: "Wait for me to come back and explain."

Qin Shu gave a light laugh and said in a low voice: "There's no need."

At this moment, she was exhausted in body and spirit: "Gu Tingyan, there really is no need."

They had made an agreement: as long as Gu Tingyan stayed away from Chu Sheng for one month, they would not divorce.

They would remain husband and wife and continue their life together.

If Gu Tingyan failed to do so, they would divorce.

How many days had it been?

Gu Tingyan's heart trembled violently, his voice hoarse: "Qin Shu."

He looked at Qin Shu, his eyes reddened, his voice trembling: "She cut her wrist; I cannot ignore her."

Chu Sheng let out a low cry in his arms: "I'm in so much pain."

Hearing this, Gu Tingyan gave Qin Shu one last deep look, then carried Chu Sheng and strode out, leaving without looking back.

Qin Shu had been abandoned by him once again.

Qin Shu stood stiffly in place, tears streaming down from the corners of her eyes like broken beads.

Gu Tingyan, we are completely finished.

Qin Shu tilted her head slightly and raised her hand to wipe away the tears at the corners of her eyes.

Qin Shu's breathing became rapid, a bone-chilling cold rising from the bottom of her heart; it was as if a knife had been plunged deep into her chest, causing her heart to spasm with pain.

It was only a man, after all.

She did not believe that in this world, apart from him, Gu Tingyan, she could not find someone better.

Qin Shu wiped her tears dry, composed her expression, and drove home.

Gu Yichen had been taken to the Old Residence by Gu Tingyan's mother.

This marriage had lasted five years; she couldn't say she had gained nothing at all.

At the very least, she had gained a child.

Returning home, Qin Shu took out her suitcase and began packing her things; inadvertently, her elbow brushed against a book, the one Gu Tingyan flipped through most often.

The moment the book fell, a photograph scattered out.

Qin Shu bent down to pick it up from the floor; the person in the photo was eighteen-year-old Chu Sheng, her smile pure and flawless.

After all these years, Gu Tingyan had still kept her photo well-preserved.

He had never forgotten Chu Sheng at all.

Qin Shu placed the photo back into the book exactly as it was and returned the book to its original position.

She took out the divorce agreement hidden in the cabinet, held a pen, and signed it stroke by stroke, writing the two characters "Qin Shu".

As she held the pen for this divorce agreement, tears blurred her vision, and "plop," a tear fell onto the paper.

She liked Gu Tingyan, had liked him for a full nine years.

She had thought she could warm his heart, that sincerity could be exchanged for sincerity.

All of this collapsed in an instant the moment Chu Sheng returned.

Hospital.

Gu Tingyan sent Chu Sheng to the hospital, and the doctors and nurses wheeled her into the operating room.

Gu Tingyan leaned against the wall, his eyes bloodshot, his body slumped wearily into a chair.

"Family of the patient, the patient has lost too much blood; her blood type is rare, she is Rh-positive!"

"Hurry and get someone to give her a transfusion!" the nurse, wearing a mask, said in an anxious and urgent voice.

"Our blood bank is running low on Rh-positive blood!"

"Okay."

Gu Tingyan's face darkened; he hurriedly took out his phone and called Chu Xuanming, saying concisely, "Chu Sheng slit her wrists, she has lost too much blood; which of you is Rh-positive?"

"Hurry over and give her a blood transfusion!"

Hearing that Chu Sheng had slit her wrists again, Jiang Chenxue felt the world spinning and nearly fainted; Chu Xuanming took her and hurried toward the hospital.

Jiang Chenxue gripped his hand tightly and whispered, "Call Qin Shu!"

"Make her come to the hospital to save Sheng!"

"She is Rh-positive!"

When Chu Sheng was little, she had an accident and lost a lot of blood; they searched half of Beijing but couldn't find anyone with Rh-positive blood; this blood type was too rare, very few people had it.

Jiang Chenxue had been desperate at the time and grabbed Qin Shu to go to the hospital for a blood test; she never expected that she would actually be Rh-positive!

Chu Xuanming pressed his lips together and made a call.

"Ding..."

Qin Shu's phone vibrated; it was a call from Chu Xuanming; she glanced at it and hung up directly.

Chu Xuanming continued to call, but it still went unanswered.

Outside the operating room.

Seeing that the call wouldn't go through, Chu Xuanming instantly flew into a rage!

His expression was terrifyingly cold: "She won't answer my call!"

Jiang Chenxue covered her face and cried, looking up at Gu Tingyan: "Tingyan, can you get Qin Shu to come over and give Sheng a blood transfusion?"
