Jiang Sui slowly raised his face from his hands and looked at Wu Chunhao with tearful eyes.

Wu Chunhao sighed, and his voice softened, "Sister Sui Sui, you should believe Brother Haozi. Your brother and Xue Dan are not in that kind of relationship, and they never have been."

"How is that possible? I heard it with my own ears. I couldn't have heard it wrong."

Jiang Sui's face was full of tears, and now he looked at Wu Chunhao in confusion, appearing very pitiful.

Wu Chunhao picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp, then lowered his head and did not dare to look at Jiang Sui.

"That's a misunderstanding. What you hear with your own ears may not be true. You should trust Brother Haozi. Brother Haozi has been following your brother all these years. I know his affairs best."

Jiang Sui seemed to have heard some hidden meaning in Wu Chunhao's words, and she smiled bitterly with tears in her eyes.

"Then what is true? Brother Haozi, tell me what is true?"

Jiang Sui grabbed Wu Chunhao's clothes, tears in his eyes and said to him in a pleading tone, "Is it related to the two years he dropped out of school? Brother Haozi, can you tell me the truth?"

Wu Chunhao rubbed his eyebrows hard, gently pulled Jiang Sui's arm, and placed her back on the bar.

He said with some embarrassment, "Sister Sui Sui, it's not that I didn't mean to tell you, it's just that this involves your brother's privacy, and he doesn't agree to tell you, so I can't tell you."

Wu Chunhao lowered his head again and sighed heavily.

Jiang Sui grabbed another glass of wine and drank it, shaking his head slightly and saying, "He won't tell me, he won't."

Cui Jin, who had been sitting silently on the side, couldn't stand it anymore. He reached over the bar and took a bottle of whiskey, then took a glass and poured himself a glass, then drank it.

Then he poured another glass, stood up, walked over Jiang Sui's high stool, stood beside Wu Chunhao, and handed him the glass.

"Drink it, and talk when you're drunk. We'll listen when we're drunk, and then when we wake up we won't remember anything, so just pretend you never said anything."

Wu Chunhao was stunned for a moment, closed his eyes and sighed, then took the wine glass from Cui Jin's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

Before getting drunk, the three of them moved their drinking location to Cui Jin's office.

Cui Jin's office is very simple. Apart from a desk and a wine cabinet, there is only a set of leather sofas.

Before the three of them sat down on the sofa, Cui Jin took out a box of hangover pills from his desk and handed it to Jiang Sui.

"Take some of this, we can get drunk, but you have to listen sober, understand?"

Jiang Sui nodded, took it, twisted a pill with his fingers and swallowed it directly.

The three of them sat at three ends of the sofa, and Wu Chunhao's thoughts were brought back to three years ago.

When Wu Chunhao and Si Nian were juniors, they developed a video social software together in preparation for their graduation project.

This kind of software was basically not available in the market at that time. If we could find suitable investors and put it on the market, it would definitely become a hit very quickly.

Wu Chunhao wanted to try this.

Ke Sinian's original intention was to deal with the graduation project and he didn't want to participate in anything else.

Because he was preparing to take the postgraduate entrance examination for the China Foreign Affairs University, he went to Beijing North.

After hearing this, Jiang Sui realized that Si Nian was really working hard for their agreement and had not given up and forgotten it so early.

Her tears rolled down again.

But Wu Chunhao was unwilling to give up and kept trying to find suitable investors.

However, investors who have the ability to do so are either not optimistic or frantically exploit their rights and interests. After struggling for a long time, they still haven’t reached a deal.

Wu Chunhao was very depressed at the time and often drank himself into a puddle of mud and fell on his bed in the dormitory.

At that time, Si Nian not only studied hard to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination, but also had to spare time to take care of him.

At this time, Xue Dan, who had been madly pursuing Si Nian since freshman year but had always been rejected by Si Nian, appeared.

Because of her status as a foreign affairs student, she often does business translation for foreign companies, and thus gets to know many senior executives of foreign multinational groups.

Among them are some foreign investment bank bosses.

She heard from somewhere that Si Nian and Wu Chunhao had such a project, but had been encountering obstacles in their search for investors.

She took the initiative to find Si Nian and offered to introduce him to some big foreign investors.

Si Nian refused at first. He didn't want to have too much contact with Xue Dan and let her have more delusions.

But when he saw Wu Chunhao running into obstacles and looking depressed every day, he couldn't bear it, so he told Wu Chunhao about Xue Dan's offer to help.

Wu Chunhao was extremely happy at that time. He had never worked with foreign investment banks before and he had high expectations for this.

So he begged Si Nian to contact Xue Dan again and ask her for help in the introduction.

Si Nian had no choice but to contact Xue Dan again, and Xue Dan generously agreed to help.

After that, Wu Chunhao had been in contact with Xue Dan, and Si Nian was not involved.

Soon, Xue Dan helped Wu Chunhao arrange a face-to-face meeting with a foreign investment bank boss.

Although it’s only an hour, the boss has to take the evening flight back home.

But Wu Chunhao cherishes this opportunity very much.

For this reason, Xue Dan specially invited Wu Chunhao to have lunch that afternoon before the interview and told him about some of the bosses' behavioral habits so that he could prepare in advance to avoid any mishaps.

He thought that Xue Dan was helping him so enthusiastically purely for Si Nian's sake. She wanted to make her presence felt in front of Si Nian and get him to say good things about her. Therefore, Wu Chunhao never doubted her motives.

He even frequently praised the woman's virtues in front of Si Nian, but Si Nian remained indifferent. He devoted all his attention to the postgraduate entrance examination.

But what Wu Chunhao didn't expect was that he had prepared everything that night, but something unexpected happened when he was about to go out.

The sudden vomiting and diarrhea caused him to collapse on the bed in less than half an hour, exhausted and unable to get up again.

Thinking about the one-hour interview with the boss in the evening, which might be his last chance, he didn't want to give up easily.

But he was too weak to get out of bed, so he could only ask Si Nian for help again.

Because apart from himself, Si Nian is the only one who knows the whole project best.

Si Nian was in a difficult situation because Xue Dan was accompanying him during the interview and he didn't want to have any close contact with her.

But he couldn't bear to see his good brother lying sick in bed, anxious and about to cry, so he could only reluctantly agree to his request.

That day, Si Nian put on a suit, dressed himself meticulously, and went to meet the boss for a meeting on behalf of Wu Chunhao and Xue Dan.

But Si Nian went for the interview and did not return all night.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault! I killed him!"

When he said this, Wu Chunhao, a grown man, suddenly burst into tears and kept slapping himself in the face with both hands. His cheeks began to turn red and swollen, but he did not stop.

"If I hadn't been vomiting and having diarrhea and couldn't get out of bed that day, and if I hadn't asked Si Nian to go in my place, that wouldn't have happened, and he wouldn't have had to bear the stigma for the rest of his life and not be able to hold his head up high."

Wu Chunhao kept repeating some words about how sorry he was to Si Nian, but he didn't tell him what happened next.

But Jiang Sui's heart tightened inexplicably.

She knew that something major must have happened that night that changed Si Nian's life trajectory and forced him to give up his promise to her.

Jiang Sui did not urge Wu Chunhao to continue speaking immediately. She thought she also needed some time to prepare herself mentally.

Cui Jin sat aside, drinking silently without saying a word, as if he was waiting for Wu Chunhao to vent and calm down before continuing.

Wu Chunhao blamed himself for a long time and cried for a long time.

This was the first time in Jiang Sui's life that he saw a man crying with snot and tears.

You can imagine how shocking Si Nian's experience was that night, which is why Wu Chunhao blamed himself so much.

Jiang Sui didn’t dare to think too deeply about it. She just hoped that everything would go well for Si Nian in the future and that such a big change would never happen in her life again.

That night, Wu Chunhao, who was vomiting and having diarrhea, continued to suffer for two hours after Si Nian left. Finally, he could not bear it anymore, so he called 120 and was taken away by an ambulance.

After arriving at the hospital and undergoing a series of treatments from the emergency doctor, Wu Chunhao's symptoms finally eased.

But he was too exhausted to pay attention to the time, and he was too upset to remember to call Si Nian to inquire about the interview.

He lay alone in the hospital bed and spent the whole night with his eyes closed.

The next morning, when Wu Chunhao woke up, he remembered to contact Si Nian to inquire about the situation.

But he couldn't get through to Sinian on the phone, and he didn't know what was going on. He was a little anxious, so he ignored the doctor's objections, forcibly left the hospital, and took a taxi back to the dormitory.

But when he returned to the dormitory, the room was still the same as before he was taken away by the ambulance last night, with no sign that Si Nian had returned.

Wu Chunhao felt a little puzzled. He didn't know what was going on with Si Nian. He called Si Nian several times, but no one answered.

In a hurry, he thought of Xue Dan, who was the introducer and went with Si Nian.

He started calling Xue Dan again, but again no one answered.

Until this time, he thought Si Nian was with Xue Dan. Maybe the two of them suddenly sparked love.

So he didn't contact the two of them again that day.

After one night, Si Nian still didn't come back.

Wu Chunhao started calling him again, but this time, Sinian's phone went from no one answering to being turned off.

He called Xue Dan again, but the call was hung up after two rings.

He didn't give up and called several more times, but the number was hung up after two rings each time.

When you call again, you will be prompted with "Sorry, the number you dial is currently unavailable."

Wu Chunhao knew that his phone number had been blocked by Xue Dan.

Only at this point did he feel that something was unusual.

In the next few days, Si Nian seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. Even the school teachers were looking for him and asked Wu Chunhao about him.

Wu Chunhao was anxious as he hadn't heard from Si Nian for a few days.

He felt that Xue Dan must know where Si Nian was, so she deliberately ignored his calls and even blocked her.

Si Nian’s disappearance must be related to this woman.

So Wu Chunhao ran to the Foreign Languages College to find Xue Dan.

But he and Xue Dan were not that familiar with each other before. He only knew that she was studying translation and had been pursuing Si Nian, but he didn't know which class she was in.

He could only wander around one classroom after another in the Foreign Languages College.

After wandering around several classrooms, a kind classmate finally told him the classroom where Xue Dan's class was.

After he rushed over frantically, Xue Dan's classmates told him that Xue Dan had taken leave and had not come to school for several days.

From then on, Wu Chunhao had no news of Si Nian at all.

But he didn't pay attention, and until the summer vacation began, the school never asked him again why Si Nian hadn't come to class for so long.
