On the day of graduation, I was dragged by my rich father to get the certificate

Si Yehan stared at the surveillance screen, watching Gu Wan walking quickly with her head down in her coat, and his heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

"Who is she? Why did Wanwan go with her?" His voice became more and more excited. "Check it for me immediately!"

He threw the tablet computer to the ground, and the sound of the screen breaking was particularly harsh in the quiet dressing room.

Si Yehan held his head in his hands, showing such a gaffe in front of everyone for the first time.

The billionaire president who was so powerful and calm in the business world was now just an ordinary man who had lost his beloved.

"Send out all the people you can," he finally raised his head, a dangerous light flashing in his eyes, "I want to know Wanwan's whereabouts before sunset. And..." He pointed at Nangong Xuan on the surveillance screen, "I want all the information about this woman."

At the same time, in the back seat of the car, Gu Wan was still wearing her wedding dress, her coat wrapped tightly around her shoulders, her tear-stained face turned towards the passing scenery outside the window.

"Where are we going?" she asked softly.

“Go to a place where Si Yehan will never find you.” Nangong Xuan held her daughter’s hand.

Gu Wan did not answer, but just pressed her forehead against the cold car window and let the tears flow again.

She didn't know whether what she did was right or wrong, she only knew that when the bell rang, she couldn't walk towards Si Yehan - the man she loved deeply, but who might be the man she would never be able to be with again in her life.

"Change cars every ten minutes." Nangong Xuan instructed the driver. As soon as they drove out of the church, they turned into an alley and changed to a silver Volkswagen. Gu Wan looked through the car window and saw three cars of the same model driving in different directions.

"It will take Si Yehan at least half a day to determine our route." Nangong Xuan's voice was terribly calm. "I'm already preparing a new identity for you, Nangong Wan. You'll get your new ID and passport in about ten days. Once the rumors die down, we'll go abroad."

Gu Wan nodded mechanically.

When the car stopped at the foot of a hidden apartment building, Gu Wan felt dizzy. Nangong Xuan handed her a baseball cap and a pair of plain glasses: "Put them on. There are surveillance cameras in the elevator. Let's take the stairs."

Gu Wan stayed here for eight days. At 3:15 in the afternoon, Gu Wan felt a dull pain in his lower abdomen.

Yes, she has been having unexplained abdominal pain in the past two days. At first she thought it was her period, but when she thought about it carefully she found that her period was already delayed for five days - this had never happened before.

At this moment, a terrible thought struck her, and her hand unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.

Gu Wan hurriedly got out of bed and said, "Mom, I'm going out to buy some things." She grabbed her wallet and rushed out the door without waiting for Nangong Xuan's response.

The pregnancy test stick in the convenience store was like a hot potato. Gu Wan hid in the public toilet cubicle, watching the two red lines gradually appear, and her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.

She was pregnant. It was Si Yehan's child.

"No, I must not let my mother know that I'm pregnant with Si Yehan's child, otherwise she will never let me keep the child." Gu Wan flushed the pregnancy test stick into the toilet and took a few deep breaths before walking out of the cubicle.

When they returned to the apartment, Nangong Xuan was sorting documents. Gu Wan had just hidden the plastic bag from the drugstore in the closet when she heard a "click" sound - something fell to the ground.

"You are pregnant with your enemy's child!" Nangong Xuan's voice stabbed like a knife. Gu Wan turned around and saw her mother holding the box of folic acid that had fallen.

"No, Mom, please listen to my explanation..." Gu Wan subconsciously wanted to take the medicine back.

"Come on, follow me to the hospital and get rid of this little bastard!" Nangong Xuan grabbed her wrist and dragged her out.

"No, Mom, this is my child, you have no right to do this!" Gu Wan broke free. Nangong Xuan stumbled a few steps, and the back of her head hit the wall hard, letting out a cry of pain.

"mom--"

The lights in the hospital corridor were pale. The doctor said it was a mild concussion and needed to be observed overnight. Gu Wan stayed by the bed, looking at Nangong Xuan's pale sleeping face, tears silently falling.

"I promise you...I won't have this child." Gu Wan said softly when Nangong Xuan woke up.

But she had made up her mind to protect the little life in her belly at all costs.

Three days later, Nangong Xuan was discharged from the hospital. That night, she cooked for Gu Wan and served her a bowl of steaming hot chicken soup. "Drink it, and we will start a new life tomorrow."

Gu Wan took the bowl and smelled a faint bitter taste. She pretended to drink a few sips and poured it into the potted plants when Nangong Xuan turned around. In the middle of the night, she quietly replaced the medicine bag hidden in the cupboard by her mother with vitamin tablets.

The day before leaving the country, Gu Wan found a secret compartment while packing her luggage. Inside was the evidence of the Si family's crimes that Nangong Xuan had collected over the years, as well as a note: "Wan Wan, if mom is gone, you have to seek justice for the Nangong family."

She suddenly felt much heavier, then she sealed the box tightly and placed it at the bottom of the suitcase.

Soon the car that came to pick them up arrived, and Gu Wan helped Nangong Xuan get in the car. The car drove to the nearest airport.

"It's the Si family's car!" the driver suddenly shouted. In the rearview mirror, five black Mercedes-Benz cars were chasing us like cheetahs.

Nangong Xuan turned to look at her daughter and made a prompt decision: "According to the plan!"

The car slowed down at a sharp turn, and Gu Wan was suddenly pushed out of the car and rolled into the green belt. Confused, she watched her mother's car drive away. Just as she took out her phone to call Si Yehan, she heard a deafening explosion coming from the front.

An orange-red fireball rose into the sky, and the car my mother was riding in hit the pier of the viaduct and instantly turned into a ball of flames.

"Mom—" Gu Wan's heart-wrenching cry was drowned out by another loud noise. Before she could react, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck, and her eyes went dark, falling into endless darkness.

"Mom——" Gu Wan woke up from her dream, the roar of the plane engine vibrating her eardrums. The middle-aged woman next to her handed her a file bag: "Miss Nangong, this is what the lady left for you."

Gu Wan excitedly grabbed the woman's hand without saying anything, "My mom? How is my mom?"

The woman shook her head and said painfully, "It's useless. The eldest lady... the young lady should mourn for her!"

“…………” Gu Wan’s eyes blurred instantly. She didn’t scream or make a fuss. She just couldn’t help crying like a wooden person.

The woman next to him was shocked and heartbroken. She hurriedly helped Gu Wan wipe away her tears. "You can call me Aunt Liu. I have been with the young lady since I was six years old. She has always been very good to me and helped me find a good in-law. I will be grateful to her for the rest of my life. Before she died, she entrusted me to take care of you like my own daughter if she is gone."

"Aunt Liu...I..."

"Don't cry. The lady left you a letter in the briefcase."

Gu Wan hurriedly took the document bag and quickly opened it. Inside was a new passport, ID card, bank card and a letter. Gu Wan trembled as she opened it. Nangong Xuan's beautiful handwriting hurt her eyes:

"Wanwan, when you read this letter, mom will be gone. Don't blame yourself, this is my own choice. The evidence of the Si family's crimes is incomplete, so I'm counting on you to continue investigating... You have to promise mom that you won't think about Si Yehan anymore, and you must avenge the Nangong family, so that I can rest in peace!"

The letter paper had long been soaked with tears, and wrinkles appeared where it was covered. "Okay... I promise you." Gu Wan stroked her flat belly and looked at the rolling sea of ​​clouds outside the porthole.

At the same time, in the arrival hall of the airport, Si Yehan punched a pillar. He held the wedding ring in his hand, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

"I will dig deep to find her." He said to the bodyguard behind him, his voice as low as thunder, "I want her alive or dead."
