Xu Wan didn't want to give up and wanted to post something more, but she edited and then deleted it.
Seeing her like this, Su Ziyu felt bad too: "Sister-in-law, stop sending messages. We've sent so many, but there's been no reply." Afraid that Xu Wan would be upset, he added, "Don't worry, maybe my brother is still on the ship, or maybe he wasn't noticed when he disembarked."
As the group was talking, another car drove up.
It was Miyahiko who got off the train.
Several people gathered here.
Su Ziyu looked at Gong Yanli, "Any new information?"
Gong Yanli shook his head.
Su Ziyu continued to comfort Xu Wan: "The security for this auction is very strict, there won't be any problems. Big Brother has bodyguards protecting him wherever he goes. Maybe he really has some urgent matter that prevents him from contacting us."
Su Qiong also said, "Yes, President Jiang looks like he's destined for great wealth and honor, nothing bad will happen to him."
The more they tried to comfort themselves, the more Xu Wan realized that things weren't so simple.
To avoid worrying everyone, she could only nod repeatedly: "Yes, he'll be fine."
“Yes, yes, sister-in-law, we’ll let you know as soon as we have any news, don’t worry,” Su Ziyu said again.
Xu Wan nodded, "Okay, then I'll head back now."
Su Ziyu: "We'll take you."
Xu Wan pointed to the driveway a few meters away: "Lu Wei will drive me. Tingzhou is worried about me and said that Lu Wei will pick me up and drop me off before he comes back."
As she said these words, her heart tightened slightly, and her eyes welled up with tears.
I didn't think much of it before, but now I feel that this sentence is particularly unlucky.
"Okay, I'll take you there." Su Ziyu escorted Xu Wan to the car, opened the back door for her, and after she got in, he said to Lü Wei, "While your brother is away, you need to protect your sister-in-law well, understand?"
"Yes, Mr. Su, don't worry," Lu Wei replied.
Xu Wan sat in the back of the car and waited until everyone had left before saying to Lü Wei, "Let's go back to Tianyuan Law Firm."
The car started moving slowly.

For the next few days, Xu Wan acted as if nothing had happened, going to work and coming home as usual.
She would send Jiang Tingzhou a message every night.
Similarly, there was no news about Jiang Tingzhou.
At first, everyone kept this a secret. Most of Tianwei's shareholders were unaware of it, and everything at Tianwei remained unchanged.
Even the Xu family was unaware of this matter.
Even on Friday, employees in Tianwei's legal department were discussing New Year's Eve plans.
Xu Wan packed her things expressionlessly.
Seeing her like this, Ji Tong couldn't help but say, "Xu Wan, don't force yourself. If you're sad or worried, just tell me. Or how are you going to spend New Year's Eve? Do you want me to come over and keep you company?"
“No need.” Xu Wan shook her head gently. “Tingzhou is probably just busy with work and hasn’t had time to contact us, or he may have other plans. He said he would spend New Year’s Eve with me, so he should contact me soon.”
The more she acted this way, the more worried Ji Tong became. "Xu Wan, I'm serious, can I come stay at your mansion for a while? I heard you can see the New Year's Eve fireworks from there, right? Can I come over?"
Ji Tong was worried that Xu Wan might have a moment of despair and try to commit suicide.
"I'm really fine." Xu Wan glanced down at the time on her phone. "I'm going home now. See you next year."
Today is December 29th. After the three-day holiday, it will be the new year.
Ji Tong wanted to say something more, but in the end, he held back.
Xu Wan always held a belief in her heart.
Jiang Tingzhou said he would come back with her to celebrate the New Year.
Even though they had been out of contact for so long, she was convinced that he would keep his promise and spend New Year's Eve with her.
After all, this is their first Chinese New Year together since their marriage, and he is not a man of his word; he will definitely keep his promise.
Xu Wan repeated this to herself over and over again.
When she got home, she went to the supermarket and bought a lot of meat, vegetables, fruits, and seafood, filling the double-door refrigerator to the brim.
It took me two days to clean the house spotless.
Sunday night is December 31st.
After midnight, it will be the start of the new year.
By 7 p.m., Xu Wan had already prepared a table full of dishes.
The sky outside the window had long since darkened, but the light show at the North City Building was particularly eye-catching today, with beams of light shooting into the sky, illuminating the night as if it were daytime.
Xu Wan sat alone on the sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the building's light show display the words "Happy New Year" over and over again.
At nine o'clock, the New Year's fireworks were set off on time.
Brilliant fireworks burst in the sky, rising and falling, casting dappled reflections on the river.
Xu Wan looked at the fireworks outside the window and murmured, "Honey, this is the first time I've realized how beautiful the New Year's fireworks are in Beicheng."
Even she herself didn't realize that her eyes were already brimming with tears when she said those words.
