A few centimetres apart, Simon was cold and Lily was wide awake. She did not know where to look in the face of the man's gaze.
Suddenly a gnarled finger pinched her chin, and Lily was forced to look up in alarm.
"Simon, what are you doing back?"
Simon went to bed and forced himself on Lily in spite of her resistance. He made a great movement, squeezing Lily's wrist without a trace of pity.
Feel the woman in your arms, from relaxed to stiff, resisting the struggle at last.
Lily was terrified. She had never seen a Simon like him. He was like a wolf trying to rip her apart. She was afraid of him.
Subconsciously, she begged, "Simon, I'm in so much pain..."
"Lily, you deserve to be treated like this."A woman like Lily doesn't deserve to be treated gently and patiently.
Lily was stiff, her lower lip clenched, her face bloodless in the dim light.
She should have gotten used to Simon's insults, but somehow her heart still hurt, as if she had been squeezed and crushed.
Simon rarely comes back. He treats her like a lady, comes back to bed and leaves, as if to fulfill her conjugal duties
He was hurt today, and he was supposed to be in the hospital with him, Cynthia, but now he shows up in her bedroom in the middle of the night... Lily thought about it for a minute and realized that she probably had a fight with Cynthia, or who would get her?
But tonight she was too weak to deal with him. Lily pushed the man's strong chest and tried to run away. She straightened herself up and pulled her long hair from behind her head.
"Ah..."Lily crooned, her neck thrown back. "Simon, it's getting late. I don't want to have sex with you..."
I don't know why that bothered him, but Simon's sullen face was so frightening in the light that he grabbed Lily's hand and forced her face against the pillow.
"Lily, why are you pretending? Do you want to do it, or don't I? Threaten to get married, and now you don't want to touch me?"
It was so awful... Lily's breath was trembling, and she stared at the ceiling, tears welling up in her eyes, until finally she couldn't stop herself and her pillow was wet.
This was the man she had set her heart on marrying, and had wounded her to the bone with the most vicious words.
Simon looked into her moist eyes, his heart tightened, and he nervously pulled the tie off his neck and tied Lily's hand to the bed.
Lily swallowed the pain in her stomach, the tip of her tongue pressed against her teeth, and she swallowed the smell of blood down her throat.
Simon looked at the woman like a cat curled up under the covers, shivering and pitying.
Simon did not take her pain to heart. Lily was always in good health. It was common for her to go to work on time the next day after pulling an all-nighter. With her for so long, he seemed never to see her sick.
Her long hair lay unkempt on the bed, and her back was thin, her shoulder blades like butterflies about to spread their wings as she bent herself.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch it, and just as the tip of his finger touched it, the woman looked startled and ducked aside, and Simon's eyes flashed across his face and he felt a terrible pain in his heart.
He didn't want to admit that Lily had brought it on him, so he could only think about Cynthia, who was at the hospital asking when he and Lily were going to get divorced.
Simon clenched his back teeth. What did Lily have to quarrel with Cynthia for?
Lily hugged herself, like a turtle in its shell, in a state of self-protection, and she felt so cold that she turned on the air-conditioner and covered the quilt, but still could not resist the cold.
Looks like a laceration to the heart, an infection, decomposition of the Zang-fu.
She has always been able to endure pain, broken teeth to swallow, but this time she really can not help, the idea of divorce once stuck in the heart, will spread like crazy.
Talk to Simon about the divorce when you're strong enough, because she's dying, and there's no time to impress him.
When Lily passed out from the pain, she heard Simon's last words.
"You think I'd look up to you if you didn't have Cynthia's same blood type? But you'll soon be of no use to me."
..
By the time Lily woke up, Simon was long gone, and she weakly propped herself up, the quilt slipping from under her, revealing a nasty gash on her neck and shoulders.
Lily rolls out of bed, her feet are on the floor, her head is spinning, her eyes are momentarily darkened, and she swoons into the bathroom and looks at herself in the mirror.
Her body was covered in bruises, which made people feel sorry for her. Lily was no exception. She felt sorry for herself. Simon was in her heart, and after four years of trying to please her, she couldn't escape a good-bye.
In this world, if the relationship can work hard to get, how good?
She washed her face and brushed her teeth before washing. Her already sore throat was getting worse after last night's crying. As she brushed her teeth and her throat developed a stress reaction, she pulled out her upper body and vomited blood on the foam of her toothpaste.
Lily has always been very adaptable, even vomiting blood can be used to such things as do not care, she turned on the faucet in the tub to wash away the blood foam.
By the time she was out, it was past 7:30, and she couldn't eat anything, but she warmed a glass of milk to think of her misshapen stomach.
Going to the office, Lily processed the documents and looked at the GU's profits over the past few months. The figures were falling. Lily seemed to have seen the day when the GU's was in decline.
When Simon went behind Gu's back, Lily knew he would do anything to make her feel bad.
Simon has always been a vindictive person, he works Rely popular, but only a few years to a city leader to the GU family down to business status.
I can't compete with him..
Simon, I don't think she'll ever learn how to do that.
After flipping through a book, Lily leaned back in her chair and took a sip of the cold coffee on the table, its bitterness cushioning the sweetness from her throat.
The Skinny Camel was bigger than the horse. Lily stood up and looked at the tall building before her. It was time to prepare for the funeral.
It's just a big corporation, decades of work. Who's gonna run it when she dies?
Her Dad? Or her brother? These two people are sitting on a mountain empty man, only afraid of Gu Shi to them, a few years will lose everything.
Lily thought about it, and found that the most suitable person to take over the Gu family was her legal husband, Simon, who wanted to bankrupt the GU family.
A cloud hung over Lily's brow. She held her left hand up to the cold window, her fingertips cold and white, and she tapped her fingers regularly against the glass.
The office was quiet, and the soft tapping was loud and clear. When Lily's mind was at rest, she would freeze in a trance, as if it were the only thing that would take her mind off the pain of the moment.
The mobile phone on the desk vibrates suddenly. Lily looks back over her shoulder and sees the word "Father"clearly on the screen from three meters away.
Father was supposed to be one of the closest words in the world, but in Lily's case, it was just a cold title, and she went to answer the phone.
"Lily, transfer $2 million to my account,"Arron Gu said in a deep, distant voice.
Lily's hand tightened as she held the phone. "Dad, are you calling me just for Money?"
"If you weren't in charge of the family, you'd think I wanted to ask you for money. If you didn't want to give me money, you'd give me shares of the family,"Gu said in an impatient voice
Lily thought long and hard about the word "Daughter,"and it was hard for her father to remember that she was his daughter, not an indifferent ATM machine.
He remembers her as his daughter, but why doesn't he ever care about himself, and she doesn't ask how Nice Arron Gu can be to her, as long as he asks her normally, did you eat? How's Your Health? Work tired or something like that... she's actually very easy to coax, as long as a little bit of care.
"Did you hear that?"Arron Gu snapped on his cell phone.
Lily pressed down. "Didn't I just transfer you one million grand last week? It's only been a few days, and you've used it all?"
"What can you do with that kind of money?"Arron Gu felt guilty, but he felt a little more confident when he thought Lily was in charge of such a large company.
"Hurry up and transfer the money, or I'll go straight to your company, and I'll see if it's a disgrace to me or to you."
"You can give me money, but you have to tell me what you do with it."Two million is a lot of money.
Seeing Lily relent, Arron Gu also lowered his voice: "Recently I saw an investment project, only two million short, and when I make money I won't take it from you."
