Later, they tried to contact Li Hanchuan and Huacheng, but the two people suddenly seemed to disappear, and no trace of them could be found.

Su Xiaoxiao's mind was in a state of confusion. She had no idea where Li Hanchuan might go. After searching aimlessly for most of the night, the group could only return to Mingdu Garden exhausted.

Su Xiaoxiao thought and hoped that he could sit at the dining table and wait for her silently as before.

But this time, she didn't get what she wanted.

Looking at the empty dining table, her heart felt cold.

Sitting on the stool, Su Xiaoxiao shed tears.

Gao Zhirou wanted to step forward to comfort her, but she deliberately avoided her.

That night, she looked at the door longingly, always praying that the man's figure would suddenly appear in the next second.

But after waiting and waiting, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were swollen from crying, and she didn't see that familiar figure.

At this moment, she wished that Li Hanchuan had never been emotional for her like he said, so that even if she did do something sorry for him, he would be able to brush it off lightly.

At dawn, Li Wanqing came.

Her expression was very heavy, and there was still a bit of exhaustion on her face, as if she had not slept all night just like them.

Li Nuanyang said, "Mom, I've sent people to look for me, but no trace of my brother has been found. I'm worried..."

Li Wanqing glanced at him, fully aware of the worry in his mouth, but for just a moment, she focused her gaze on Su Xiaoxiao again.

Li Wanqing already knew what Huacheng was going to do, so she had actually anticipated what was happening before her.

However, Su Xiaoxiao was kept in the dark and even used her, making her feel a little uneasy and guilty.

She comforted Su Xiaoxiao, "Mom knows that you are innocent. Hanchuan misunderstood."

When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, he suddenly burst into tears uncontrollably.

Why, why did Li Wanqing believe in his innocence, but Li Hanchuan didn't?

She bit her dry lips tightly, not knowing what to say, let alone what to say.

She only felt that the pain of not being trusted by the one she loved was indescribable and painful.

After a while, she wiped away her tears, glanced at the person in front of her, and then slowly said, "Mom, there is something I have always wanted to ask you. What exactly happened seven years ago?"

Li Wanqing was stunned for a moment. She felt a little strange about her sudden question, but she had no intention of hiding it.

Just when she was about to speak, Su Xiaoxiao suddenly looked at Gao Zhirou, "Your breakup is not that simple at all, is it?"

Gao Zhirou looked away guiltily, but looked at Li Wanqing at the same time as Li Nuanyang.

Li Wanqing knew that fire could not contain the fire after all.

She rushed over early in the morning and was ready to tear open the bloody scars and tell Su Xiaoxiao the truth.

"then……"

"Let me tell you!"

Gao Zhirou suddenly interrupted Li Wanqing's words. She knew that asking Li Wanqing to say those words would be like inserting several more knives into her chest.

But as far as she was concerned, she never thought about healing this wound, so she indulged in letting it continue to hurt. She became accustomed to it as it hurt.

She took a deep breath, suppressed the grief in her heart, and said calmly, "Miss Su, you are right, the matter between Hanchuan and I is indeed not that simple."

"Back then, I was already engaged to Hanchuan, and even the wedding date was set. That day, my aunt and her family were on vacation at the resort. I was very happy, so I drank some wine. Who knew..."

When Gao Zhirou said this, her voice choked up. She took a deep breath again and continued: "Who knew that when I woke up the next day, Uncle Xu and I would sleep naked together."

Gao Zhirou said it very calmly, but when she said this, no one knew how much courage she had mustered.

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with disbelief. Li Hanchuan actually witnessed his fiancée sleeping with his father!

Gao Zhirou added, "I still remember Hanchuan's eyes filled with anger and fury when he saw that scene. I have been in love with him for three years, and we have always treated people with courtesy and never gone too far. Even a simple kiss would make each other shy for a long time."

"But when Hanchuan saw me lying on Uncle Xu's bed, that scene was like a bolt from the blue. Even I couldn't accept it, let alone him..."

Su Xiaoxiao was silent for a moment. No one could accept such a thing, let alone forgive it.

Gao Zhirou suddenly held Su Xiaoxiao's hand, "Miss Su, I said that there is no possibility for Hanchuan and I. Now, do you believe it?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded sadly, "Believe it, I believe it!"

After a moment, she realized that when he asked Li Hanchuan that day if he had been waiting for Gao Zhirou, he answered so surely that he was just deceiving her.

She was both happy and unhappy, and she didn't want to use this method to find out the man's true heart.

Li Wanqing continued, "Xu Hong was my chosen husband, but he did such an unethical thing. Back then, I felt ashamed to face Han Chuan, so I stayed in a mental hospital for two years."

At first, Li Nuanyang thought that Li Wanqing was really stimulated and went crazy, but now he thought about it, with the wealth and power of his Li family, even if Li Wanqing was really crazy, he would not be able to send her away. To the point of entering a mental hospital.

Come to think of it, when Li Yuandong insisted on sending Li Wanqing away, was that what Li Wanqing meant, right?

Li Nuanyang continued, "My brother and I grew up together, witnessed the love between our parents, and regarded our father as our role model. For us, this is not just a simple betrayal, but also a A collapse of belief. The person we once regarded as a role model and wanted to spend our whole life becoming is just...a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

The more Su Xiaoxiao listened, the more she felt how miserable Li Hanchuan had been in his heart over the years.

No wonder that in those sleepless days, he needed sleeping pills to fall asleep, and soaked his body in biting cold water to stay calm.

Tears fell from the corners of her eyes inadvertently, and she finally understood why Li Hanchuan had a cold temper, why he no longer believed in women, and why his temperament changed drastically.

Today, seeing himself lying on the bed with the man's clothes scattered around the room, he must have thought that he had betrayed him just like Gao Zhirou back then.

But after all, she is not Gao Zhirou, and she will never become Gao Zhirou.

However, she didn't know that these people in front of her were talking to her seemingly calmly about the past, and how much heartache and sleepless pain they had experienced in the past seven years.

For Li Hanchuan, the nightmare of these seven years has haunted him every sleepless night. He has gone through many struggles and tortures before he became who he is now.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly felt a dull feeling in his heart. He could fully imagine the disappointment and sadness in Li Hanchuan's eyes when he saw her.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "I should know where he is."
