Gu Tianling’s pupils contracted as he stared at the man who stood in front of him. It was always said that time would wait for no man, and one’s youthful appearance would be gone as time passed, leaving no one unscathed.

All except Lu Jinwen.

It seemed that the heavens were kind towards this man. In all of these years, he didn’t seem to have aged at all.

As the was the eldest son of the Lu family, he created his business empire in Singapore at the age of 16 and became an unsurpassable legend of the business management world.

It was said that the student would eventually surpass the master and this was the case for the prestigious, century-old Lu family. Lu Jinwen was one who had achieved the pinnacle of excellence.

In the 30 years that had passed, it seemed he had not changed at all, still bearing a perfectly sculpted face and a pair of cold, overbearing and almond-shaped eyes.

30 years would provide sufficient time for a man to settle down, but this man who dominated the business world, had only become more mature over the years. The aura he radiated was a dignified one that commanded only the utmost respect.

Lu Jinwen, that demon!

Gu Tianling shut his eyes and took in a deep breath. This demon had ruined his entire life.

No... that demon ruined everyone else.

He pushed everyone into the abyss, so they would accompany him into the depths of hell.

Huo Yanmei turned around and flinched when she saw Lu Jinwen. Although it had been many years since they had last seen each other, she would still shudder at the sight of him and the feeling of reverence was almost ingrained inside her very being.

Lu Jinwen. This man hadn’t made an appearance in so long. Ever since Lin Xuanji passed away, it was almost as though he had disappeared off the face of the earth.

The atmosphere along the corridor became tense and intimidating. Seeing it wasn’t the time, Huo Yanmei decided to put aside her personal feud with Gu Tianling and observed Lu Jinwen guardedly.

Lu Jinwen walked forward towards Gu Tianling and his glistening black leather shoes strode forward with deliberation on the handmade wool carpet. Although he didn’t make any sound, but in their minds, there seemed to be an oppressive weight to his impending footsteps. Dong. Dong. Dong. Like the gong of a large bell, it was a source of intimidation for everyone around.

The black leather shoes paused in front of Gu Tianling. Lu Jinwen placed one hand in his pocket and held a cigarette in his other hand. Drawing ou a long breath, he continued speaking casually with a laid-back temperament. “Gu Tianling, since we’re acquaintances, I’ll give you a word of advice. You’ve got a good son, he’s much more capable than you ever were, and was even able to emerge without taking a wrong turn in a messed-up family like the Gu’s. He’s a decent one. If he were to learn of you messing with his woman, I suppose he would imitate Li Shimin’s ways and rebel against you. You would become... like the abdicated emperor.”

Gu Tianling took a deep breath before looking in Lu Jinwen’s direction, Lu Jinwen spoke with carefree smile on his face that was cold, yet cynical.

The man was mocking him.

“Lu Jinwen, don’t interfere in our family affairs. You’ve just mocked me about stooping to a low level. Then how about you?”

Lu Jinwen frowned before he took a puff of the cigarette, his face couldn’t be seen in the smoky haze and he didn’t seem to have any expression.

Gu Tianling straightened his back and sneered, “30 years ago in the Capital, it was snowing heavily in December, yet there were still dandelions all over the city. It turned out that Young Master Lu fell in love with a woman and he ordered for the entire Capital to be filled with dandelions in order to make her happy. This is something all the socialites have been discussing to this day. Although Lin Xuanji enjoyed a magnificent destiny, she would never enjoy life as much as that woman. To receive Young Master Lu’s love would be greater than anything else in the world.

“Ah, I remember Xuanji telling me this. If you have fallen in love with a cruel king, to test whether he loves you, you should stab yourself and observe whether he too feels the pain.”

“Lu Jinwen, you’ve been wise your whole life, but did you ever anticipate that you would meet your match in Xuanji? A woman who was blooming so bright and blatant. A woman who was willing to do anything. For you, she stabbed herself with a knife. Did that cause you pain? And did that pain cause you to suffer... for a lifetime?”
