Chapter 1

The night is hazy and the mountain road is rugged.

A silver-gray Jetta was speeding along the winding mountain road, followed by a Bentley in hot pursuit.The owner of the car was holding the steering wheel with one hand, and the other hand was holding the phone to make a call. His voice was terribly cold: "Su Mianmian, let him stop immediately!"

Su Mianmian was wearing a bright red pure Chinese cheongsam dress, with light makeup on her face, her hair tied up, and a set of pearl jewelry, which was obviously a toast outfit after a wedding.

What didn't match her clothes was the panicked look on her face: "No... I beg you not to chase... I beg you..."

The Bentley owner's voice was still calm and threatening: "Su Mianmian, do you know who you are now? Do you know the consequences of your actions?"

"Brother Chengyi, I beg you to let me go, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life..."

Gu Chengyi's eyes were as cold as ice, and the words he said were still in that unquestionable tone: "Stop the car immediately!"

Su Mianmian was trembling all over, and the phone in her hand fell to the bottom of the car.Just as she was about to reach out to pick it up, the car suddenly jolted violently.Su Mianmian didn't have time to scream, she just felt dizzy, the Jetta seemed to lose control and rolled down the hillside.

There was a strong smell of gasoline all over the body, and the Jetta itself was on fire. Su Mianmian pulled the hand of the man in the cab, crying hoarsely: "Yingqi, wake up, don't scare me Yingqi... ..."

"what!"

Su Mianmian woke up from her sleep with a loud cry, she gathered herself together, and saw the Suzhou embroidered curtains, mahogany carved screen, and some familiar small ornaments in the bedroom, and realized that she was having a nightmare again.

It's been three years, and this nightmare still visits her from time to time.

There was a knock on the door outside, followed by the British butler Janet's gentle voice: "Madam, are you all right?"

"I'm fine, go get busy."

Su Mianmian lay down again when she heard her footsteps going downstairs.It was still early, and she could sleep a little longer.But as soon as she lay down under the quilt, she realized that she was covered in cold sweat just now, and the silk nightgown stuck to her body, making her very uncomfortable.She got up again and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Su Mianmian went downstairs to the restaurant for dinner.The restaurant is located on the first floor, with floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides, you can clearly see the ancient rockery trees, small bridges and flowing water in the private garden outside, and a group of full-fledged pigeons pacing back and forth on the concrete platform.

She sat down and just picked up the milk glass on the table, when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of a BIC lighter on the seat opposite Gu Chengyi.Su Mianmian's eyebrows twitched: "Mr. Gu is also at home?"

"Mr. Gu came back this morning. He changed his clothes after breakfast and left." Janet explained to her in fluent Chinese.

Su Mianmian didn't say anything, simply drank a glass of milk, grabbed the bag on the table and got ready to go to work.She supported the shoe cabinet and said to Janet while changing her shoes: "I need to work overtime at night, so I won't come back for dinner. If Mr. Gu comes back, you don't have to wait for me to eat."

"But", Janet hesitated, and said, "But Mr. Gu told me that the wife must go home before five o'clock every day."

Su Mianmian's movements stopped for a moment. She got off work at four o'clock every day, and the work unit was only half an hour's drive away from home, so Gu Chengyi only gave her half an hour of free time, and stipulated that she must be home before five o'clock in the afternoon, otherwise ...

She bent down to fasten the straps on her high heels, raised her head and smiled at Janet: "I know, I'll call him then."
