This is the case with most things in the world. Helping others in need is rare, but most people take advantage of the situation to take advantage of others' misfortunes. Jiang Deng used to act in a high-profile manner, and there were many people who were jealous of her.

Although Jiang Deng had basically blocked out the outside world's opinions, he had already anticipated this.

But, never mind, let’s just focus on the present moment.

After resolving the knot between her and Xu Lingran, Jiang Deng slowly ate and drank her fill. Xu Lingran sent her back to the hotel and before leaving, she couldn't help but ask her:

"Are you and Zhou Wu really breaking up? What are your plans next?"

Jiang Deng was stunned for a moment, then lowered his brows and nodded slightly, "I want to go out for a walk and relax."

I can't stay in Xuecheng any longer. As for the rest, I don't know how long it will take Jiang Zhengquan to deal with it... I won't run too far. It shouldn't be too late to come back after receiving the news.

"Alright."

Xu Lingran sighed, and then without further ado, he thrust a card into her hand. "The password is your birthday. If you don't have enough money, just use it. I have more than enough to support you."

"I don't need you to support me."

"Yes, yes, Miss, I won't have to worry about myself, but wouldn't it be better to have a backup plan?"

Xu Lingran paused, and then continued, "Actually, I didn't like Zhou Wu at first, but he stood up for you when you were in trouble, so I changed my mind about him a little bit. Why are you breaking up again all of a sudden?"

"I don't believe in the groundless speculations spread by others, but the Zhou family is indeed very violent. Don't you... like him very much?"

Seeing that Jiang Deng looked unhappy, Xu Lingran quickly added:

"Of course, if you don't want to say it, forget it. I will definitely support you 100%!"

Jiang Deng was silent for a long time:

"Is the Zhou family making a big fuss?"

"A little... well, it's actually okay..." Xu Lingran changed the subject halfway through his words.

After seeing Xu Lingran off, Jiang Deng kicked off her high heels, went into the bathroom to wash her face, then fell onto the bed, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and curled up into a ball.

Staring at the phone.

Maybe she should go see Zhou Wu again.

Although the other party has not sent any new messages, Zhou's father and mother have not contacted her so far. Zhou Wu should have taken on all the problems by herself...

Thinking of this, Jiang Deng's eyes became a little wet again.

Forget it.

Jiang Deng looked up at the ceiling, clenched his fingers, and held back his tears.

Now that I have made up my mind to end it...

Jiang Deng took a deep breath, switched to the ticket purchasing app on his phone, selected a city - the Flower City by the sea in the south, booked the nearest flight, and then was depressed for a while before getting up and starting to pack his luggage.

……

ZW: [Ayu, can I come to see you tonight? ]

The news was sent out, but nothing happened.

Zhou Wu stared at the chat interface for a long time and unconsciously tightened his grip on the phone.

I don’t know how long it took.

The light in Zhou Wu's eyes gradually went out, and his right arm holding the phone fell limply.

The lights in the ancestral hall are not very bright and it is very quiet.

It was so quiet that one could hear Zhou Wu's heavy breathing.

He took advantage of the old housekeeper's soft heart to bring him food tonight, and finally got his phone to send her the first message.

It would be better if A Yu agrees, but if not, that’s okay too.

Zhou Wu curled his lips. Regardless of whether Ah Yu agreed or not, he would sneak out to see her at midnight tonight.

At this moment, the phone screen suddenly lit up and a new message popped up:

【Ms. Jiang Deng will rush to Syracuse Airport at 7 o'clock tonight.】

Zhou Wu's pupils suddenly dilated and he stood up from the ground.

……

"Stop him! You rebellious son, you are committing treason. Do you dare to step out of this door again?!" Zhou Zhengwen heard the noise and rushed over, and together with Zhou's mother, they stopped the gate outside the ancestral hall.

"Xiao Wu, stop being willful and listen to your father first..." Zhou's mother winked at her son.

Zhou Wu pursed his lips tightly, panted, clenched his fists, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they had become firm:

"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. I promise I'll be back soon..."
