After getting up, I washed up, tidied up the house, made breakfast, and put my phone aside.

I only picked up my phone again when I sat down to eat.

I see there are unread text messages.

I opened my inbox and saw that it was from an unknown number.

Jiang Wan, you and Su Shenglin will never have a future. I swear on my life.

This vicious vow sent a sudden chill down my spine, and my heart skipped several beats.

Who sent this?

Judging from his tone, he sounds just like Gu Yanqing.

The person who hates me the most right now is probably Gu Yanqing.

I didn't reply to him, but in that instant, a lot of bad thoughts popped into my head.

Could his certainty be part of a plan?

Is it possible that Su Shenglin will encounter an accident while on a business trip?

The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became. I didn't care about anything else and immediately called Su Shenglin.

However, the call could not be connected.

Without hesitation, I called Chen Muxi again.

"Hello, Jiang Wan..." Chen Muxi's tone sounded like she was still asleep.

"Xixi, did I wake you up? I wanted to ask where your brother went on his business trip, and whether anyone accompanied him?"

There was a rustling sound coming from Chen Muxi's end, and then her voice became clearer, "We don't ask where my brother goes on business trips, but he has entourage—what's wrong? Do you need to see my brother urgently?"

"No, I just called him, but I couldn't get through, and I'm a little worried about him." I didn't tell the truth because it was hard to explain in a few words, and it would only make Chen Muxi panic as well.

"Oh, that's alright. My brother is on the plane. We don't know where he's going, but he went to the airport before dawn, so he's probably still flying now."

Chen Muxi's explanation reassured me a bit.

"Jiang Wan, don't worry, my brother will be fine."

"Okay, then you can go back to sleep."

"I can't sleep, so I'm thinking of going out for a walk. Are you free? Want to come along?"

I happen to have some free time today, so I gladly agreed.

"Don't drive here. Your brother's car is with me. You can drive it back this afternoon." Su Shenglin's car is too expensive. I don't dare to drive it out much, for fear of scratching or damaging it.

But Chen Muxi said, "My brother lets you drive it, so just drive it. Cars are meant to be driven, not parked at home taking up space."

There was no other way, so I had to keep driving.

At 11 a.m., I arrived at Li Yunwei's dining room.

My best friend saw me and curiously turned to look behind me. "Huh, are you alone? Mr. Su isn't with you?"

I sat down and said casually, "I'm away on a business trip."

"Tsk, look at you, so absent-minded. He's just on a business trip, it's not like he doesn't want you anymore," Li Yunwei teased as usual.

I smiled but said nothing.

I thought to myself, sooner or later he'll leave me, or maybe—I'll leave him.

Chen Muxi arrived soon after.

As the apple of the Su family's eye, she was radiant and confident wherever she went, making everyone around her feel happy.

"Happy New Year!"

Happy New Year!

Before Chen Muxi even got close, he greeted us. I joked, "You're the youngest here, so shouldn't we give you some New Year's money?"

Chen Muxi smiled and said, "No rush, it's not too late to give it to you after you become my sister-in-law."
