After the divorce, the crazy CEO knocked on his ex-wife's door every night.

Li Siyuan did this simply to test the Lu family's attitude towards the situation.

Anyway, no matter the outcome, they wouldn't suffer much loss, so she couldn't be bothered to argue about it.

Once Chen Xiuwen really leaves the city, and Lu Yuchen returns to Jiangcheng and starts a new life, perhaps her life will gradually return to its previous tranquility.

Just as she was lost in thought, her cell phone suddenly rang in her pocket.

She glanced down at the caller ID on the screen; it was a call from her father, Shen Zhentao.

She hesitated whether to answer the call, because in the past, every call from him seemed to bring nothing good.

"Do you need help answering this?"

Upon seeing this, Li Siyuan asked, his eyes revealing a hint of concern, as if he could sense her unease.

Shen Xuan gritted her teeth, trying to remain calm. "No need."

He then took his phone and went outside, took a deep breath, and pressed the answer button.

"what happened?"

After closing the study door, she asked urgently.

"Xiao Xuan, have you seen your sister? She hasn't come back for two days."

Instead of her father, Zhuang Yaoshu's voice came from the other end of the phone, which temporarily eased her tension.

"Feiyan didn't come home?"

She tried hard to recall that night when she went to the bar with Gao Jing.

Gao Jing said they would be together, so why can't I find her now? Is she still with Gao Jing?

"Yeah, I can't get through to her on the phone. I asked her other classmates, but they don't know where she went either. Xiaoxuan, what should we do if your sister is missing? Please help me think of a way. I really can't find Feiyan."

Zhuang Yaoshu's voice on the other end of the phone was choked with sobs, her tone filled with anxiety and helplessness.

"Please wait a moment, I'll make a call and see if she's somewhere else."

Shen Xuan tried her best to remain calm and comforted the other person.

"Xiao Xuan, you have to help me find your sister."

Zhuang Yaoshu pleaded.

"Ok."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

He then immediately called Gao Jing.

At this moment, she seemed somewhat distracted, pacing back and forth at the door, her heart filled with anxiety and unease.

But after several attempts, Gao Jing's phone showed as switched off.

Just then, the door behind her opened, and Li Siyuan came out. Seeing her anxious appearance, he asked with concern, "What happened?"

"Feiyan hasn't been home for two days!"

Shen Xuan gripped her phone tightly, her face filled with anxiety and worry. "Isn't she with your boyfriend's fiancée?"

When he mentioned "your boyfriend's fiancée," his tone became more forceful, making the statement sound distinctly provocative.

He seemed to be emphasizing this fact on purpose, as if deliberately trying to provoke her.

This made her feel a little embarrassed. The direct and undisguised mockery shocked her, and she felt an urge to retaliate immediately. She almost couldn't help but want to slap him.

"How did you know she was with Gao Jing?"

she asked in surprise.

He originally thought that this matter should still be kept completely secret, and that he shouldn't know anything about it at all.

"Guess."

Li Siyuan gave a curt reply without further explanation, then turned and walked downstairs, leaving behind a solitary and aloof figure.

The answer was simple and direct, but it did not resolve her doubts.

Shen Xuan looked puzzled: Did this guy secretly look at my phone?

The question lingered in her mind, and she increasingly felt that her previous guess might be correct.

As he was about to disappear at the top of the stairs, a strong sense of curiosity compelled her to follow him.

"If you keep causing trouble, I won't help you find your sister."

Li Siyuan stopped, turned to the side, and looked at Shen Xuan, who was catching up, with a blank expression.

His tone remained indifferent, as if issuing a final warning.

In a luxurious bar in downtown Jiangcheng, Shen Feiyan, dressed in revealing clothes, danced wildly in the center of the dance floor, seemingly completely immersed in the revelry.

Several young people with brightly colored hair surrounded her, swaying their bodies wildly to the music, making the whole scene exceptionally lively.

Gao Jing sat alone to the side, drinking, her gaze fixed on the direction of the dance floor, her eyes revealing a rather complex emotion.

She never expected to accompany Shen Feiyan to such a place, nor did she expect the other party to be so indulgent.

I thought it was just a simple way to relax, but I never expected it to turn out like this.

Fortunately, her father had an urgent matter to attend to abroad that afternoon, so he had to leave her temporarily in Lu Shuli's care before leaving.

Otherwise, she would never have accompanied Shen Feiyan to this place for fun.

In order to prevent Lu Shuli from finding out that she had gone out on her own, she not only changed her phone number, but also made a special trip to contact her friends in advance and sneaked over here to drink and have fun.

While this is somewhat risky, it at least avoids being discovered.

Having already drunk several glasses of wine, Gao Jing felt extremely bored, so she ordered another bottle of medium-strength liquor and continued to sit there alone, pouring and drinking by herself.

People came and went in the bar, but none of them interested her.

Suddenly, she glanced at the time on her watch, seemingly calculating something in her mind, before abruptly raising her glass and drinking it all in one gulp.

This action clearly carried a sense of determination or catharsis, but the surrounding noise masked the turmoil within her heart.

Much later, Shen Feiyan seemed exhausted and slowly walked out of the dance floor with weary steps.

Those who had just been dancing around her and trying to please her now began to whisper among themselves, as if judging or discussing some of her actions or decisions.

Gao Jing's gaze never left the other person, a faint, sarcastic smile playing on her lips.

"Is it worth it? Just because you can't win over Lu Shuli, you're planning to indulge yourself like this? Besides, what's so special about him? I even find it annoying to have him around. Yet you still care so much."

Her words were clear and forceful, but they also revealed a lack of understanding and a hint of disdain.

Faced with such a direct and pointed question, Shen Feiyan did not answer. Instead, she silently poured a full glass of wine down her throat, the liquid flowing down her throat and burning like flames inside her body.

This feeling might temporarily dispel the chill and confusion in one's heart.

"I'm telling you, if you keep drinking like this, you'll get so drunk you'll pass out. Then I'll have to carry you home, which will be really tiring!"

Noticing that her best friend was starting to lose control, Gao Jing gave her a half-joking reminder, her tone light but not lacking in concern.
