I suddenly thought of that bastard Gu Yanqing, so I picked up my phone and called him.
However, the call could not be connected.
It suddenly dawned on me that he must have already been arrested!
He's a demon from hell!
He was desperate, so he dragged others down with him, just to break me up with Su Shenglin and to make my life miserable.
My heart was burning with rage. If Gu Yanqing appeared in front of me right now, I would want to drag him down with me and die together!
The ringing of my phone snapped me out of my raging fury.
I picked up my phone and saw that it was Li Yunwei calling.
"Hey, Weiwei..."
Li Yunwei asked, "Are you off work yet? It's Song Ci's birthday today. Are you done with your work? Let's celebrate together tonight."
"No, please explain to Song Ci for me. I'll invite her to dinner another day to apologize." I'm not in the mood to attend a birthday party right now.
Li Yunwei knew I was in a low mood lately, so she tried her best to persuade me: "I heard from Xixi that Mr. Su is away on a business trip. You'll be bored if you go back alone. Why don't you come out and have some fun and cheer yourself up? That way you won't keep thinking about him."
"No, I'm quite busy lately and have to work overtime."
"Oh well……"
After hanging up the phone, I started my car and went home.
Halfway there, Song Ci called.
"Jiang Wan, you haven't hung out with us since you started dating. Does having a boyfriend mean you don't care about your girlfriends anymore? It's fine normally, but today is my birthday, you have to come!" Song Ci said in a loud and excited tone, giving the order.
Seeing that they pleaded with me three or four times, I really couldn't refuse, so I had no choice but to agree.
I found a luxury store nearby, bought a bracelet, had it packaged in a gift box, and then changed my route to the party venue.
I arrived late, and by then the party had already started; the candles on the cake were already lit.
Song Ci looked beautiful today. Surrounded by everyone's blessings, she made a birthday wish and began cutting the cake.
I was in a bad mood, so I sat to the side and drank in silence.
Li Yunwei came over and nudged me with her arm. "What's wrong? You look so listless. It's only been a few days since you last saw your sweetheart, but you look like you've lost half your life."
I swirled the wine in my glass, my eyes gradually becoming hazy.
After my best friend finished speaking, I said in a daze, "Soon, it will cost me my life."
Li Yun frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
I tilted my head back, downed the drink in one gulp, and then said with a heart full of despair, "I'm breaking up with him."
"Why?" Li Yunwei was taken aback. Fortunately, everyone was so engrossed in singing and dancing that no one noticed us.
"Jiang Wan, you've had too much to drink. What nonsense are you talking about? Weren't you two all lovey-dovey in Milan? Why are you suddenly breaking up? Just because he was away on a business trip and didn't spend time with you?" Li Yunwei sat up and stared at me seriously as she asked.
“No…” I shook my head, paused for a moment, and selectively spoke about Jiang Hao’s matter, “Gu Yanqing tricked Jiang Hao into photographing military sites and posting them to overseas websites, and he was arrested. You know how serious this kind of thing is. I was also called in for questioning by the National Security Bureau this afternoon. If I don’t break up with Su Shenglin, he will inevitably be dragged into it…”
"What?!" Li Yunwei was even more shocked. "Gu Yanqing is inhuman! He did it on purpose! He just wanted to break you two up!"
“Yes, but we have no choice. I can’t let Su Shenglin get involved in this kind of case. It would have a huge negative impact on him and his family.”
Li Yunwei looked at me with a face full of sympathy and pity, then squeezed my arm. "I understand you... The deeper the love, the less you want to burden the other person. Mr. Su is already under a lot of pressure being with you."
"Yes……"
I replied, took the bottle, and continued pouring wine.
Li Yunwei stopped him, "Don't drink anymore. You'll feel unwell if you get drunk, and Mr. Su will be even more worried if he comes back and sees you."
"He...he's run into trouble recently, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back anytime soon."
"What's the meaning?"
I wasn't drunk yet, and knowing that this was something I shouldn't talk about casually, I just tilted my head back and drank the wine.
When my phone rang, I was already half-drunk and half-awake.
Li Yunwei pulled out my phone and excitedly nudged me: "Jiang Wan! Mr. Su is calling! Jiang Wan!"
I opened my eyes and stared at the phone she handed me, my eyes widening instantly.
Is Su Shenglin calling?
Could it be that he's back?
I snatched the phone away. "Hello!"
"Wanwan, aren't you home?"
Su Shenglin's warm, deep voice reached my ears, startling me so much that I sat up abruptly.
"You're back?"
"Yes, at my lodgings. I knocked on the door but no one answered. I did hear a myna bird calling."
He spoke with a smile in his voice, and I happened to hear the dog barking.
"I'm outside, but I'm going back now, right away!" I stood up with my phone in hand, and almost fell because I was in such a hurry. Luckily, Li Yunwei and another friend helped me up.
