Jiang Sisi has made a comeback. Rumor has it that she is with Lu Dongjue and has gained new resources through Lu Dongjue's connections.

Yun Suiwan sat in her office, looking at the potential brand ambassadors for the branch company, and Jiang Sisi was prominently listed.

Yelena looked at Yun Suiwan, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

Holding Jiang Sisi's photo, Yun Suiwan said, "Just say it."

Yelena then revealed the gossip about Jiang Sisi and Lu Dongjue.

"oh."

Looking at Jiang Sisi's photo, Yun Suiwan said, "I'll choose her."

Yelena looked at Yun Suiwan with some surprise.

"President, are you sure you want Jiang Sisi to be the spokesperson for the branch company's products?"

Yun Suiwan put down her photo, leaned back in her chair, and crossed her arms.

“With Jiang Sisi back in the public eye, there will definitely be a lot of publicity and hype surrounding her. By choosing her, we can save millions in advertising expenses.”

"But..." She stole your man.

"Jiang Sisi has a built-in fanbase now, why don't we make good use of it?"

"From a business perspective, choosing her is in our best interest."

Upon hearing this, Yelena didn't say anything more. She nodded and said, "President, I understand."

A week has passed, and Yun Suiwan seems to have moved on from her previous relationship. To her, Lu Dongjue is like a stranger, so much so that whoever he's with doesn't really concern her.

"Buzz..."

Yun Suiwan's phone rang.

Yun Suiwan looked at the unfamiliar caller ID on her phone, and her expression turned cold.

"Hello." She answered the phone, her tone curt.

"Miss Yun, let's have dinner together at 7 p.m. at the restaurant on the 36th floor of the Binhai Hotel."

The caller was Huo Beichen. His call was concise and to the point, sounding more like an order than an invitation.

"knew."

After saying that, Yun Suiwan hung up the phone without giving him a chance to speak.

Huo Beichen is back.

After forcing himself to announce his upcoming engagement to the public, he left City A.

Now, half a month later, he has reappeared.

He's like a ghost, always appearing and disappearing without a trace, which is annoying.

**

At 6:40 p.m., the driver brought Yun Suiwan to the hotel. She was wearing a long-sleeved dress, completely covered up. She was beautiful, but she exuded a coldness.

Yun Suiwan stood in the hotel lobby waiting for the elevator, and soon the elevator came from the second basement level to the first floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Yun Suiwan stepped into the elevator, and the next second she saw that the people standing inside were Lu Dongjue and Jiang Sisi.

Her eyes met Lu Dongjue's, but Lu Dongjue only glanced at her briefly before looking away.

Looking at Jiang Sisi again, her face showed a hint of indescribable smugness.

Yun Suiwan stopped pretending and stood in front of the two of them with a cold face.

The elevator space, which accommodated three people, suddenly seemed cramped.

Yun Suiwan looked at the elevator floor number. Just then, the elevator reached the twelfth floor, and someone else came in, forcing her to step back.

And behind her was Lu Dongjue.

There were empty seats behind him, but he didn't move an inch.

Yun Suiwan glanced at him, but he didn't move. She took the initiative to step back and stand to his right.

The elevator stopped on the eighteenth floor for the second time, and three or five more people got in, causing everyone to huddle together again.

At this moment, Lu Dongjue stepped back, and perhaps because of the large number of people, his hand touched her.

Yun Suiwan frowned slightly, pulled her arms back, and reduced the space she occupied.

The third time, the elevator stopped on the twentieth floor, and people got in again. Because of the crowd, their bodies were pressed tightly together this time.

His thick arms were pressed tightly against hers, without him pulling back at all, just squeezing her forcefully.

On the other side of Yun Suiwan was a girl. She was squeezed and had to push against that girl, which earned her a displeased look from the other girl.

Yun Suiwan had no choice but to turn her body slightly to the side, but as soon as she moved, he leaned in closer.

His body was pressed tightly against hers, a feeling that made her very uncomfortable.

She couldn't help but look at him, signaling with her eyes for him to keep his distance.

However, Lu Dongjue looked at her indifferently, his eyes devoid of any affection.

He looked extremely annoyed; this was probably the most crowded elevator he had ever been in.

Lu Dongjue ignored Yun Suiwan.

Yun Suiwan withdrew her gaze, thinking, "Just a little longer, we'll be there soon."

However, she just happened to be unlucky today.

The elevator reached the thirtieth floor and suddenly swayed, causing the people inside to gasp in surprise. Then the lights inside the elevator flickered, and the entire elevator came to a sudden stop.

"What's going on?"

"The elevator has stopped!"

The people in the elevator began to panic. At that moment, only one emergency light was on in the elevator, which was red and made people feel very tense.

"I pressed the SOS button, everyone don't panic!" someone shouted, and everyone quieted down.

The elevator was packed with people, the temperature rose rapidly, and various smells mingled together, making Yun Suiwan feel suffocated.

Fragments of her childhood suddenly flashed through her mind—

—Lock her in the cage and let her bully her sister!

That stormy night, she was locked in the cage of a giant dog, alone in the storage room.

Many times in the dead of night, she would dream of the scenes from that year.

She pressed her hand tightly to her chest, her breathing gradually becoming rapid, and large beads of sweat rolled down her cheeks one after another.

"Dongjue, I'm scared..."

At this moment, Jiang Sisi's voice stood out particularly well in the quiet crowd.

At this moment, Yun Suiwan could clearly feel that Lu Dongjue had turned his body around, and he should be facing Jiang Sisi.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

It was Lu Dongjue's deep and powerful voice.

"Mmm." Jiang Sisi responded obediently, as if Lu Dongjue had given her endless strength.

Meanwhile, Yun Suiwan felt increasingly short of breath.

She stared blankly at the emergency light on the elevator; the red light grew increasingly blurry, and she could barely see it anymore.

When she was young, she cried until her voice was hoarse, but no one paid any attention to her.

Now, the man she loves is right beside her, yet she cannot seek any comfort from him.

It's all because she's not good enough for it.

At that moment, a commotion arose outside the elevator.

—Don't be afraid, everyone. We'll pry open the elevator door, and everyone can come up in an orderly fashion.

Then came the sound of someone trying to pry open the elevator.

In no time, a hole was pried open in the elevator.

It's about half a meter above the ground, so you need to climb out.

The people in front of them climbed out one by one.

As the crowd thinned out and the air circulated better, Yun Suiwan's consciousness cleared considerably.

"Dongjue, could you help me for a moment? My skirt is uncomfortable." Jiang Sisi's voice rang out.

"Um."

Yun Suiwan leaned weakly against the elevator wall as she watched Lu Dongjue lift Jiang Sisi up.

At this moment, only the two of them remained in the elevator. Lu Dongjue did not turn around; he pushed himself up with a strong effort, and he was about to get out as well.

Yun Suiwan's mind suddenly went blank, and then she fainted.

With a "bang," Yun Suiwan fell to the ground.
