His voice was light and faint, like a feather brushing against her ear, yet it made her feel as if she had been suddenly placed in an extremely cold ice cellar.

  "He said, 'You're not worthy!'"

  Three simple words combined to form a sharp blade, piercing her heart, and her breathing seemed to pause at that moment.

  Even knowing he hated her, his heart still ached uncontrollably, aching with spasms.

  It hurts so much, but Su Wanwan's smile on her face didn't fade at all, stiffly maintained, "Yes, I'm not worthy of you, Master Pei, so rest assured, no matter who I find, it won't be you!"

  "I will never betray you, and I will absolutely not eat humble pie!"

  As soon as Su Wanwan's words fell, Pei Muniang's pupils contracted violently, as if suppressing a raging fire. He stared at her, chuckled twice, and looked at her with an gaze that seemed to want to tear her apart. He moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately didn't say anything, and instead turned around and left with a flourish!

  Although Pei Muniang didn't say anything, the extreme disgust and hatred in his eyes as he left made Su Wanwan's long eyelashes tremble slightly, her face pale to the point of being frightening.

  She really doesn't know what she still cares about, he originally hated her, now he just hates her even more, what's the difference? What... is so sad?

  Su Wanwan stood still against the wall, her whole person seeming to have had her soul drawn out of her body, until Su Zhenhua walked over and called out to her several times, at which point she slowly came back to herself.

  Su Zhenhua seemed to have not noticed her abnormality and continued to say, "Wan Wan, accompany Grandpa to see a few more people."

  Su Wan didn't want to stay here anymore, didn't want to be in the same space as Pei Mu Yan again. She really wanted to open her mouth and tell Grandpa that she wanted to go home, but those words were stuck in her throat and couldn't be spoken. She had no way of going against Grandpa's words, he would not be happy.

  Su Wanwan took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed her sadness, putting on a brave face and smiling, "Okay, Grandpa."

  In general, for such business gatherings, Su Wanwan was extremely restrained when drinking and would not let herself get drunk to avoid any accidents. However, the words that Pei Muxuan had said earlier kept echoing in her ears, swirling around, and no matter how hard she tried to shake them off, they lingered on. As a result, she didn't even notice how much she had drunk until after one round of socializing, when her head started to feel dizzy and her feet felt slightly unsteady.

  Su Zhenhua furrowed his brow, his tone slightly reproachful, "Wan Wan, why did you drink so much wine?"

  Su Wanwan felt a little guilty and afraid, hung her head and said weakly, "Sorry, Grandpa."

  "Never mind, looking at you like this, there's no way to stay here either. However, I still have to see a few friends and can't leave for the time being. I'll ask Secretary Su to open a room for you upstairs, go up and rest for a while, sober up, and after it's over, we'll head back home."

  Su Zhenhua called over Su Secretary and handed Su Wanwan to him, instructing a few words. Su Secretary nodded and supported Su Wanwan as they walked upstairs.

  The wine had gone to her head, and Su Wanwan was in a daze, unaware of how long she had walked. She felt herself being placed on the soft bed by Secretary Su, who then went to the small bar in the room, poured her a cup of warm water, fed it to her, and told her to rest well before leaving the room.
