“Xixi, I think your brother might really be in trouble. Maybe even your mother doesn’t know, but your father should know.”
Chen Muxi stared at me, and only after I finished speaking did she say in a panic, "No way... what could have happened to my brother? He was perfectly fine when he came back last night—"
"I don't understand either, but I just have a bad feeling."
"Don't worry, I'll ask my mom when I get home tonight."
Where is your father?
"He's an extremely busy person. He got up early this morning and left again; there's business in the province."
Come to think of it, someone of his status and position would never have time to rest at home.
After I finished speaking, Chen Muxi lost all interest in shopping.
We walked around the mall twice, and she said she had to go home. I didn't try to stop her. After saying goodbye, we got into our cars and left.
I didn't want to go back alone and sit there overthinking, so I drove to my grandma's.
My aunt wasn't home, and when my grandmother saw me come over, she immediately noticed that I had something on my mind.
"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Xiao Su?" Grandma asked with concern.
I shook my head, turned around and hugged my grandmother. After a long silence, I finally said, "Grandma, do I not deserve happiness?"
"Nonsense." Grandma looked down at me, and even pretended to be angry as she reached out and slapped me. "Why aren't you good enough? You're more good enough than anyone else!"
"I didn't feel anything..."
"You still say you didn't have a fight with Xiao Su? You're talking nonsense."
I was still holding my grandmother, my eyes vacant, my mind gradually going blank.
After a long while, I couldn't help but murmur, "I love Su Shenglin, more than I ever imagined, but I... have to break up with him."
"Why?" Grandma asked in surprise.
I didn't say anything, but tears welled up in my eyes.
I really can't control myself.
The thought of leaving Su Shenglin, never hearing his gentle and doting voice again, and never feeling his meticulous love again, makes my tears fall uncontrollably.
Grandma seemed to understand something and sighed, "With Xiao Su's family background, we were indeed climbing too high. There's a reason behind the age-old principle of marrying someone of equal social standing; climbing too high is exhausting..."
"Yes, I'm tired..."
Strive, fight, struggle, fight against family members, fight against people you once liked, fight back and forth, never stopping.
I'm really tired after all these years.
I'm so tired that I no longer have the strength to love the man I truly love.
Su Shenglin...
I prayed in my heart that you would be alright and come back soon.
However, God did not hear my prayers.
After the Spring Festival holiday, everyone returned to their jobs.
I became busy again.
However, several days passed, and there was still no news of Su Shenglin.
I even went to Su Shenglin's workplace, that military factory, and found Secretary Ji Ming, who was working normally.
But even he didn't know where Su Shenglin had gone; he only knew that he had gone on a business trip.
But I know for sure it wasn't a business trip.
I waited anxiously for a week, but instead of Su Shenglin returning, I was greeted by a visit from Mrs. Su.
