"..." I was speechless.

Fortunately, he didn't do that, otherwise I would never have been able to face Yang Qianmu again when I got to the company.

Unless I replace the manager with a professional one.

Thinking about this, I muttered regretfully, "I should have known better than to tell you. Anyway, it's not necessarily going to be such a coincidence that I'd run into your friend again, and you wouldn't know anyway..."

"What did you say?"

"I've finally discovered one of your flaws—you're petty and jealous!" I turned to look at him, deliberately enunciating clearly, just to annoy him.

Instead of getting angry, he laughed and said generously, "I have a lot of flaws, you'll discover them slowly in the future."

"Then why don't you just tell me directly so I can avoid being scammed?"

"Ha, I won't."

Our childish bickering eventually became unbearable even for ourselves.

"Alright, let me take you home. We'll go look at cars tomorrow morning, and then I'll take you to the company." Su Shenglin changed the subject, while also arranging my schedule for the next day.

I had agreed on the phone, and I haven't gone back on my word.

On the way, Su Shenglin reminded me again that the day after tomorrow is Saturday.

I was stunned for a moment before I realized what was happening—

I'm going to Su Garden this weekend to visit Grandpa Su.

"Yes, I remember. Has the old man recovered any better? Will my visit disturb his rest?" Actually, I was still a little reluctant, so I was looking for an excuse.

"He's much better now, so I won't bother him. He really enjoys interacting with younger people and is very willing to learn new things."

I nodded, understanding. "The old man just doesn't want to admit he's getting old."

"right."

I felt increasingly uneasy, but now I couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Su Shenglin dropped me off downstairs, but I didn't let him get out of the car and come upstairs.

It's already past ten o'clock, and it will take him another hour to get back to Suyuan. It's too late.

I had already pushed the door open and gotten out of the car when he pulled me back in, leaned in and kissed me, smiling as he said goodnight.

I gave him a coquettish glance, slammed the car door shut, and jogged through the security gate.

I stepped into the elevator, and I was the only one inside.

As soon as the surroundings quiet down, all those messy, trivial matters start buzzing around me like flies, refusing to leave my mind.

The thought of my damned father coming out again fills me with endless hatred.

If I weren't with Su Shenglin, I could have gone all out and fought them to the bitter end, even if it meant mutual destruction.

But now that I'm Su Shenglin's girlfriend, I can't act so recklessly.

I'm afraid that my problems will be magnified by the outside world, turning into a media storm, which will then implicate Su Shenglin.

I racked my brains, trying to figure out how to deal with these flies, mosquitoes, and vampires.

With a "ding," the elevator arrived and the doors opened.

I walked out and looked up to see a figure in the corridor.

Upon closer inspection, my already agitated mood worsened.

"What are you doing here again? You're not welcome here." I looked at Gu Yanqing in the wheelchair with a cold expression.

He wasn't very nice to me either, and sneered, "Even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. Isn't it only natural for me to come and see my ex-wife?"

He actually said such shameless things.

However, now that I've seen him, I'm reminded of something important.

"That villa hasn't been transferred to your name yet. See when you're free, and we can go to the government service center to handle it."

I was planning to tell Gu Yutian this when we went to court.

As a result, he did not accompany his younger sister to court.

I thought he was seriously ill and unable to come, but now he's showing up at my doorstep on his own, so it seems he's not as sick as he appears.

"Don't rush the transfer of ownership. Let's talk about Tian Tian first. You backed down in court and said she apologized to you, so you're willing to accept an out-of-court settlement. Does that still count?"

I frowned and stared at him—

"You're so sick, and you came all this way in the dead of night just to ask this?"

"Otherwise? You blocked my number and changed it, but I still can't get through." He accused casually, his tone sarcastic, "It's like answering my call is going to kill you."

I was taken aback, then remembered that I had indeed received two calls from unknown numbers during the day, which I had silenced.

"Does it still count?" he asked again.

I took a slight breath; to be honest, I didn't want to count.

I was very angry because of Gu Yutian's attitude in court at the time.

But I was thinking that Jiang Haiyang was about to be released from prison, and I didn't know what kind of trouble he would cause next.

To prevent all these things from piling up and overwhelming me, thus delaying my fashion week show, I decided to let her off the hook.

“Okay, make her apologize in public, and I’ll accept an out-of-court settlement.” I agreed, but then added, “However, my lawyer said that at this stage of the case, an out-of-court settlement might not be very effective.”

Gu Yanqing said, "As long as you issue a letter of understanding, I'll handle the rest."

Oh, it seems they've found someone with even more energy.

I nodded. "Alright, let's say that then."

After saying that, I turned and walked towards the door, about to open it and go inside.

But Gu Yanqing showed no intention of leaving.

He turned his wheelchair around to face me: "Jiang Wan, are you happier with Su Shenglin than with me?"

I had already unlocked the door and opened the door panel, but upon hearing this, I turned back to look at him.

“What do you think? Isn’t it obvious?” I smiled and stated the facts. “He’s richer than you, has a better family background than you, is more capable than you, and is more gentle and considerate than you. Even his body—is healthier and stronger than yours.”

With each word I spoke, his face grew darker.

Why ask such a question and humiliate yourself?
