He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

Song Zhi hesitated for a moment, but still told Xiao Wan everything she had overheard at the hospital that day.

After hearing this, Xiao Wan stood there stunned, as if struck by lightning. It took her a long time to recover, and she murmured incredulously to herself:

"So that's how it is. No wonder this guy has been so eager to marry me. He was planning to take advantage of me and leave me with no children."

Song Zhi stared at Xiao Wan with a look of surprise, and said incredulously, "You didn't even mention to him that you have an older brother?"

Xiao Wan gently shook her head and replied softly, "No, he didn't ask. He probably always thought I was an only child."

Song Zhi narrowed her eyes slightly, her tone calm yet sharp as she said, "That guy only married you because he was after your money, so you mustn't be foolish enough to remain so stubborn!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wan slowly raised her eyes to look at Song Zhi, her face revealing an indescribable complex expression.

After a moment of silence, she finally couldn't help but ask, "Since you knew Jiang Huai was a scoundrel from the beginning, why didn't you tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi chuckled softly, then countered with, "Tell you?"

These two simple words seem to carry endless sarcasm.

Xiao Wan was slightly taken aback, then an embarrassed look appeared on her face, and she quickly turned her head away from Song Zhi.

Indeed, looking back at how she was blinded by so-called love back then, if Song Zhizhen had been honest with her then, she probably wouldn't have believed it.

Instead, they would secretly speculate that Song Zhi was slandering Jiang Huai out of jealousy towards them.

Seeing that Xiao Wan remained silent, Song Zhi spoke again: "Now that you know the true colors of that family, you can decide what to do yourself. I won't interfere."

With that, he turned and walked toward the door.

Seeing that Song Zhi was about to leave, Xiao Wan quickly called out to her, "Zhi Zhi, wait a minute."

Upon hearing Xiao Wan's voice, Song Zhi stopped in her tracks, but did not turn to look at Xiao Wan. She simply stood quietly in place, seemingly waiting for Xiao Wan to say something next.

Xiao Wan bit her lip, a hint of timidity on her face. After hesitating for a moment, she cautiously said, "Zhizhi, no matter what, we should still be considered friends, right?"

Song Zhi turned her head, glanced at Xiao Wan indifferently, nodded slightly in response, and did not say anything.

Xiao Wan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, her face lit up with joy, and she stepped forward enthusiastically, took Song Zhi's arm, and said coquettishly, "Then let's go out for a meal together, as an apology to you."

Song Zhi pulled her arm away without hesitation, her tone remaining calm: "No need, I want to stay home and keep my grandmother company."

Looking at Song Zhi's cold and distant demeanor, Xiao Wan felt a pang of sorrow and grievance in her heart, and tears welled up in her eyes. She called out in a slightly choked voice, "Zhi Zhi."

But before she could finish speaking, Song Zhi sighed and interrupted her: "Alright, you should go back now. Be careful while driving."

After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Wan to speak, Song Zhi turned around and went into the house without hesitation, leaving her standing there blankly.

At this moment, the old lady inside heard the commotion outside and curiously poked her head out of the kitchen to ask, "Have all the people been sent away?"

Song Zhi nodded silently.

The old lady then asked with concern, "Have you encountered any trouble at work?"

Song Zhi gently shook her head and softly replied, "I didn't ask him, and I don't know what it is?"

At this moment, the old lady continued, "How about this, you go and ask him quickly. We have prepared a lot of food today, so you can send him a portion."

Upon hearing this, Song Zhi's lips twitched slightly.

At this moment, she couldn't help but wonder: why did this old lady seem to treat Fu Lu better than she treated herself?

She couldn't help but whine, "Oh, Grandma. She's your own granddaughter, why are you bothering with Fu Lu?"

Upon hearing this, the old lady gave a helpless smile to her aged face: "You, you're even jealous of this?"

Song Zhi chuckled and said, "You're my grandma, you can only be good to me."

The old lady said dismissively, "Young Fu will be my grandson-in-law in the future. I'm good to your husband, and you're still not satisfied?"

When Song Zhi heard the word "husband," for some reason, a blush suddenly rose on her cheeks, making her look somewhat shy and embarrassed.

Song Zhi was surprised that the old lady was so open-minded. She blushed and retorted, "Grandma, don't talk nonsense. She's not like that."

The old lady replied perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, no, you ask him for Grandma first."

Song Zhi nodded slightly and replied, "Oh, okay, I'll send him a message and ask."

After saying that, she turned around and quickly walked into the bedroom, picked up her phone from the bedside table, and quickly edited and sent a message to Fu Lu.

The message had only been sent a short while when Fu Lu replied almost instantly.

Lawyer Fu: [Please deliver it to my home; I'm not at the office.]

Song Zhi quickly edited a message and replied: 【Aww Σ(⊙▽⊙“a】

It's about six o'clock in the evening.

Song Zhi carefully carried the thermos in her hand as she got out of the taxi.

She walked straight towards the building entrance, only to find it closed.

She belatedly realized that she didn't have an access card.

Song Zhi pointed to the guard post next to her and explained the situation to the gatekeeper.

The security guard spoke in a businesslike tone, insisting that only residents could enter.

Song Zhi was somewhat speechless: "The homeowner is my friend."

Which building and which unit?

Song Zhi was stunned.

She forgot.

Seeing that she couldn't answer, the security guard suggested, "Why don't you call your friend?"

There was no other way but to do it.

Song Zhi had no choice but to stand at the entrance of the residential area and shakily dial Fu Lu's phone number.

However, there was a busy signal on the other end of the phone, and no one answered.

Song Zhi tried again, but it was the same.

Time passed by, the sky gradually darkened, and heavy snow began to fall.

In just a short while, pure white snowflakes began to fall heavily on Song Zhi, and even her snow boots were quickly covered by a thick layer of snow.

She kept stamping her feet, trying to regain some feeling in her frozen soles.

She waited for ten minutes, but Fu Lu did not return the call.

Song Zhi thought to herself, "Could it be that they got into a car accident on the way here?"

Snowy days are when traffic accidents are most likely to occur.

Thinking of this, Song Zhi became even more anxious. She checked the time and thought to herself: If Fu Lu doesn't reply in five more minutes, I'll have to take a taxi home first.

Thinking of this, Song Zhi hugged the thermos tightly and slowly squatted down.

Just as she squatted down, a familiar ringtone suddenly came from her pocket.
