A few days ago, I would have gladly gone, full of excitement.

But now, the image of Gu Yanqing being rescued keeps replaying in my mind. I feel that it would be a shameful thing to be ambiguous with another man right away, as if I can't live without a man for a moment.

So, after hesitating for a moment, I made up an excuse: "I'm afraid it's not possible tonight, I have to go to my grandma's house for dinner."

"Oh, I see. I understand." He remained very polite. "Then let's reschedule for another day."

"good."

After hanging up the phone, I started to hate myself again.

I clearly despise Gu Yanqing and dream of divorcing him. Why do I suddenly feel sad when I've finally reached this point and am about to achieve my dream?

Is it because of his tragic end that my saintly heart has acted up again?

I slapped my right cheek hard, reminding myself: Jiang Wan, feeling sorry for a scumbag will bring you bad luck for the rest of your life!

Just when my divorce case with Gu Yanqing seemed on the verge of victory, another piece of good news arrived.

My scumbag father, Jiang Haiyang, was sentenced to five years and six months in prison and fined one million yuan for crimes including tax evasion, money laundering, and contract fraud.

I learned of this news because Tang Xiue called me again and launched into a tirade of abuse.

But I've long since developed a strong heart, so taking a few scoldings won't hurt me much. What made me happy was learning about Jiang Haiyang's fate.

After experiencing a low point, my life finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and I welcomed a brighter future.

With my alma mater's centennial celebration just around the corner, I finally finished altering the haute couture suit I made for Su Shenglin.

I originally planned to deliver it to his company, but he told me to deliver it to his home directly.

Thinking that it had been a while since I had visited Madam Su, I decided to take this opportunity, while delivering the clothes, to visit her.

The temperature has dropped recently, and the weather is getting colder. The north wind has been howling these past two days, and there's supposed to be snowfall. I picked out a new cashmere shawl to bring along, intending to give it to Mrs. Su as a token of my appreciation.

As for Chen Muxi, she left for Europe two days ago to participate in a performance and is not at home.

The Hongqi L5 came to pick me up again. I sat in the back seat, enjoying a rare moment of leisure, and chatted with Li Yunwei on WeChat.

She's been complaining about her ex-boyfriend for the past few days.

This stemmed from the fact that Li Yunwei's ex-boyfriend was also a senior from the same college at university. He was already a renowned top lawyer and was naturally among the distinguished alumni who were invited.

Upon learning that Li Yunwei would also be returning to school for the celebration, her ex-boyfriend started flirting with her, asking her to meet him alone to catch up.

Li Yunwei sent me screenshots of their chat, angrily saying, "I've seen his WeChat Moments. He has a steady girlfriend, but he used the school anniversary to contact his ex-girlfriend. Isn't that scumbag?"

I chuckled to myself, "He really is a jerk."

However, having witnessed Gu Yanqing's extreme scumbag behavior, I find Li Yunwei's ex-boyfriend's scumbag behavior insignificant.

While we were chatting, a new chat window popped up on WeChat.

I looked closely and was both surprised and delighted.

She is my college roommate, Chen Wanzhen.

We had a great relationship throughout our four years of university. However, after graduation, Chen Wanzhen returned to her hometown in Southwest China to develop her career. Now she is the editor-in-chief of the well-known fashion magazine "Her Power".

In recent years, we haven't been in much contact, only exchanging greetings during the Chinese New Year.

I had originally invited her to my wedding, and she initially agreed, but as the wedding date approached, she had to go on a business trip abroad, so she gave up.

Looking back now, I'm glad they didn't come, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed that I would have been known among my classmates.

[Jiang Wan, are you going back for the university anniversary celebration?]

Chen Wanzhen also came to inquire about this matter, so it seems that she was also among those invited.

I was too lazy to keep sending WeChat messages, so I just called her.

We chatted happily all the way, and agreed that when she came to Jiangcheng, she would stay at my place and we would catch up properly.

As I approached Su Garden, I saw a tall, slender figure standing at the entrance. Facing the winter sun, he stood upright like a pine tree, handsome and extraordinary.

My heart skipped a beat, and I suddenly felt shy.

I thought he was at the company, but it turns out he didn't work overtime today.

When the Hongqi L5 came to a stop, Su Shenglin came over and helped me open the car door.

I smiled nervously and shyly, and immediately tried to start a conversation: "You seem to have some free time today?"

"I wasn't exactly free, I just got back from outside." He smiled, his handsome and refined face even more captivating in the sunlight, his eyes sparkling with a mesmerizing light.

Just got back from outside...

As I pondered his words, I wondered if he had come back specifically to see me and make up for the regret of last time—the last time I was eating at Suyuan, he also wanted to come back, but he missed me because he was busy, and we only bumped into each other on the way and chatted briefly.

I got out of the car, opened the trunk to get my things, and he immediately came over to help.

"These two suits are quite heavy, I'll carry them."

I smiled and didn't refuse, then walked with him into the Su Garden.

The winter is cold and the outside world is already desolate, but the Su Garden is still lush and green, with a beautiful view at every turn.

The truly powerful and wealthy cannot even be swayed by the changing seasons.

Seeing that I wasn't saying much, Su Shenglin turned and stared at me for a few moments before speaking in a low voice, "How have you been these past few days?"

"Huh?" I was taken aback, puzzled. "It's fine, why do you ask that?"

Su Shenglin looked at me and said, "You seem a bit listless. I wonder if it's because of the divorce that you're feeling down."

My heart skipped a beat. I hadn't expected him to be so observant and perceptive, noticing even such a subtle change in me.

These past few days, whenever I think of Gu Yanqing, I do feel a bit down.

She even became somewhat distant from Su Shenglin, and dared not associate with him.
