”I'm sorry.” Other than these three words, Gu Linxi also didn't know what else she could say.

Her slender fingers lifted the coffee cup on the table as a murderous look appeared on Gu Wei's face. Gu Linxi had never known that such a beautiful face could have such a side to it. Gu Ruoyun took a sip of coffee. The coffee without sugar was still too bitter for her. It was just like her current heart.

Slowly, his gaze once again landed on Gu Linxi's body. Gu Wei slowly said, ”I don't like you saying those three words. Of these three words, the person that should be saying them the most is Jiang Jiayi.”

”But even if he said he was sorry, no one would forgive him. ”I won't, Liu Xiuyun won't, and neither will Xiuyun's parents.”

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Linxi didn't dare face Gu Wei and turned his gaze away. Gu Wei's gaze made her feel ashamed. All of her mistakes were caused by her. If she hadn't been so stubborn, there wouldn't have been so many things. A person's death was like extinguishing a lamp. It was she who forced herself to go against the will of the heavens. This might be her retribution, but why wasn't it the retribution on her body?

”Kill him, Ling Xi. He's a scourge.” Gu Wei had actually met Liu Xiuyun's grandma before she had come. She had passed a sabre to him. As long as Gu Linxi was able to make up her mind, she could personally end everything.

These words were like a bomb, falling into Gu Linxi's heart. She looked at Gu Ruoyun with disbelief.

”Kill him, do you want him to go free? What if the next person he wants to kill is me? ” Gu Wei didn't back down. This was the only solution. Tell Jiang Jiayi to come from somewhere and go back somewhere.

Gu Linxi looked at Gu Wei in disbelief. Gu Wei's words were like an incantation, causing her head to feel a little pain. Why did she have to kill Jiang Jiayi? It was impossible, she would not do that. Gu Linxi was unable to believe everything she had heard. She didn't want to believe that Gu Xiufeng wanted her to kill Jiang Jiayi. This was impossible, she had to … It was a dream.

Tears flowed unceasingly from the corners of Gu Linxi's eyes, like a dam had been broken. She sobbed silently and looked at Gu Wei with accusation in her eyes.

”He has never loved you. Don't you want to avenge yourself? Do you really mind that he's been lying to you? Ling Xi, you can't be still in love with him, right? ”

Love wasn't something that could be retracted just like that. Even if Gu Linxi had decided long ago to separate from Jiang Jiayi, it was still impossible for her to completely reclaim her love for Jiang Jiayi. She loved Jiang Jiayi. Even if it was a lie and a scheme, it wouldn't be enough to completely eliminate that kind of love.

”Ling Xi, as long as you kill him, we can return to the past.” Gu Weiwei was trying to induce Gu Linxi into action. This was a method that she despised the most, but now she was actually doing it. If it was possible, Gu Wei wasn't willing to hurt Gu Jingxi in the slightest. This was because she had said that she would protect Gu Jingxi for the rest of her life.

However, for the sake of Liu Xiuyun, she still couldn't help but hurt Gu Jingxi. To treat Gu Linxi like this caused Gu Wei's heart to ache as well. Along with Gu Linxi's tears, pain continued to burn within his heart. He really wanted to take back everything he'd said just now, but she forced himself to fight against this sort of instinctual desire to protect. He had to let Gu Lingxi kill Jiang Jiayi.
