In the afternoon, Jiang Yu is in the office.

The nanny aunt at home has already prepared ingredients, waiting for her to go back at night to cook. She listens to Tian Lin's report while thinking about what dishes to make.

"Currently Song Jiayao and Tan Yu's momentum is doing well, especially Song Jiayao, Morgane, and Anne like her very much." Tian Lin sat across the desk, put down her tablet after speaking, and began to chat idly.

The two she mentioned are both models in the second batch of the company. Now that Bai Lu from the first batch has left, they will soon become new successors.

"There are also a few dark horses this autumn and winter, but the competition is really fierce. In your era, you only had to compete with foreign models, but now you have to compete with your own people. You can't succeed without tasting some bitterness."

"Taste what?" Jiang Yu looked at her blankly.

Tian Lin: "..."

Jiang Yu chuckled again, "Okay, okay I know, I'm listening. It's a good thing they're taking over, but finding someone like Bai Lu again might be very difficult..." Speaking of Bai Lu, there was a cold indifference in the depths of her eyes.

"Your heart already has flown home, right?" Tian Lin teased and changed the subject calmly.

Ever since she got a girlfriend, Jiang Yu underwent a complete transformation. She was lively and radiant every day, speaking gently to everyone and never losing her temper.

She used to like black clothes, but now she often wears light colors, and there are more accessories on her.

The diamond ring on her left ring finger was particularly eye-catching.

People privately discussed whether she had secretly gotten married.

Listening to Tian Lin's words, Jiang Yu's face softened, and she rarely showed a hint of embarrassment. She turned her head and casually ran her fingers through her hair, saying, "Ranran said we'll have dinner at home tonight."

"Tsk tsk, sure enough."

Tian Lin looked at her pretending to be disgusted, but she was extremely happy and moved in her heart.

These two had been through so much.

Once with such a huge gap between them, they had a money relationship that was far from respectable. They had been apart for a long time, and in her eyes, reuniting and staying together seemed almost impossible. But they had endured hardships, passed the tests, turned the impossible into possible, and in the future, they would surely be together for a long time.

She suddenly felt relieved like an old mother worrying about her daughter.

Just as Jiang Yu was about to say something, her phone vibrated. She glanced at it and saw a string of unfamiliar local numbers.

"Who is it?"

"Sister Yu, it's me," Bai Lu's voice came through the phone.

Jiang Yu furrowed her brows and was about to hang up the phone, but Bai Lu continued speaking rapidly, "I want to talk to you about the lawsuit, oh no, it's more like an announcement."

"Speak."

"I'm going to withdraw the lawsuit, so there's no need for a second trial." Bai Lu said quietly, her voice seemed to come from far away, ethereal and ghostly.

Jiang Yu smiled: "You've accepted your fate. Did you really need to inform me?"

"Yes, I resigned to my fate. I will pay as much as I should, and if I can't pay it all now, I'll take my time. Life is long, isn't it?"

"Have you finished talking nonsense?"

"Can I see you again? There are so many things I want to tell you..." Bai Lu suddenly choked up.

Jiang Yu hung up the phone and blocked the number.

"Bai Lu?" Tian Lin asked in a low voice.

"Mm."

Jiang Yu stuffed her phone into her bag, and said with a sneer, "She said she won't appeal and she wants to see me. Maybe she inhaled too much carbon monoxide and messed up her brain." She glanced at her watch; it was past four.

Tian Lin laughed heartily.

"Work's over, I need to go home and cook for Ranran," Jiang Yu said as she picked up her bag and stood up.

Tian Lin also got up holding the tablet: "Can you give me a ride? I didn't drive today."

"Okay."

"Then, go down first, I'll go back to the office to get my things."

The elevator went down to the second underground floor, and Jiang Yu stepped out with leisurely steps, carrying a bag in one hand and a coat in the other, and the sound of her footsteps echoed in the empty parking lot.

From a distance, she saw a person squatting next to her car.

Bai Lu?

As she got closer, the woman raised her head, her eyes sparkling with a sharp light, and quickly stood up: "Sister Yu..."

"Why are you here?" Jiang Yu stopped and frowned.

The last time they met was in court.

After more than a month, Bai Lu had gained weight, with a rounder face and a double chin. Her shoulders were broad and slouched, and her hair was dry and lifeless, making her appear bulky and stout. 

She looked completely different from her previous slender and graceful self.

Bai Lu looked at her with a smile: "I told you, I wanted to meet you."

Jiang Yu: "..."

"Sister Yu, you are almost forty years old, and you are still so beautiful. Look at me, I'm a whole generation younger than you, and I'm ugly and fat, hahaha." Bai Lu deliberately squeezed her throat, making a strange, eerie sound with that smile sending shivers down one's spine. Jiang Yu remained silent.

Bai Lu looked her up and down, resentment flashed in her chaotic eyes, but her lips still carried a smile: "Sister Yu, can I ask you a few questions?" Without waiting for Jiang Yu to answer, she asked on her own: "In the past few years, what have I been to you?"

"A Junior, younger sister."

"What do you think is the difference between me and Cheng Suran?"

Jiang Yu's slightly eased brow furrowed again as she gazed at her for a while, her tone calm. "She shouldn't be used as a comparison with you."

"Not comparing, just curious."

"She doesn't seek my attention by hurting herself. That's the difference between you, understand?"

"..."

Bai Lu lowered her eyes, nodded lightly, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yeah, why did I hurt myself... I understand that instead of torturing myself, it's better to eliminate the person who makes me suffer..." She seemed to mutter to herself, then suddenly lifted her head, a menacing gleam in her eyes. From somewhere, she produced a short knife and thrust it towards Jiang Yu's throat.

"Go to hell with me!"

A silver light flashed before Jiang Yu's eyes, and she subconsciously raised her hand to block it.

A cut was made in the arm in an instant, there were bursts of sharp pain, and warm scarlet blood gushed out.

There was no time to react, only to hear a "poof", the metal sank into the flesh and blood, and severe pain spread from her abdomen immediately. At that moment, it felt as if she had been pierced through, and all her strength left her.

The dagger pierced straight into her stomach.

Most of the exposed white blade was quickly stained red with blood.

Jiang Yu's face turned pale, her legs turned weak, and her trembling lips could only utter a faint "you." She couldn't speak anymore, and in her gradually fading vision, all that remained was Bai Lu's sinister smile...

Tian Lin, who had just stepped out of the elevator, saw this scene.

"Sister Yu!!!"

She ran over.

Bai Lu suddenly raised her head, and when she saw someone approaching, she panicked, pulled out the knife forcefully, turned her head, and ran away.

The blood from the blade splashed all over the ground.

—thud!

Jiang Yu staggered and fell.

....

Under the grey sky, light rain began to fall.

It was the rush hour for commuters, and the city was congested. The traffic light at the intersection ahead had a very short green signal time, and only a few cars could pass at a time. Cheng Suran was stuck in the middle of the road, less than seven hundred meters away from the hospital, and she felt incredibly anxious.

Holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, the red light in her sight looked as thick as blood.

Tian Lin said that Jiang Yu was stabbed by Bai Lu.

At the hospital, they rushed to save her.

Save...

She trembled and took a deep breath, her vision was blurred again, and tears flowed from her still-moist eyes.

Her mind is blank.

After being stuck at the intersection for ten minutes, she finally made it through. There were so many people and vehicles in the urban area that she couldn't dare to drive fast, she finally arrived at the First Affiliated Hospital before dark.

She saw Tian Lin standing outside the emergency room.

"Sister Tian Lin!"

Cheng Suran hurried over anxiously. "Where's Jiang Yu? What's her condition?"

Tian Lin raised her head, her sluggish eyes finally regained spirit: "Still in surgery..."

"Where was she stabbed? Is it severe? Is her life in danger?" Cheng Suran looked towards the emergency room, her hands gripping Tian Lin's shoulders, unintentionally applying more pressure due to her agitation.

"On her stomach," Tian Lin shook her head mechanically, "I don't know the specifics."

Cheng Suran felt like she'd been struck by lightning.

Stomach.

Jiang Yu is so thin, and there is not much fat on her stomach. Wouldn't it be easy to injure internal organs with a knife? So it is very likely that she will be more in danger than lucky. The thought of this possibility tore at her heart. Tears streamed down her face, and she was nearly choked with sobs.

"Tian Lin…can...you tell me…what happened…?" She gasped for breath, her voice breaking.

With reddened eyes, Tian Lin recounted the events of the afternoon.

"I called the police. There is surveillance in the parking lot. She can't escape. I'm going to the police station in a while and ask Xiao Zhou to come over to accompany you. I don't know..." Seeing Cheng Suran crying out of breath, she quickly comforted her. Before she could finish her sentence, the door to the emergency room opened, and a nurse came out.

Cheng Suran stepped forward to stop the nurse as if grasping at a life-saving rope: "Excuse me, My...my friend is inside, is her life in danger?"

The "girlfriend" that came to her mouth had to be replaced with "friend".

The nurse glanced at her and replied calmly: "She hasn't injured any vital organs, but she lost a lot of blood and is receiving a blood transfusion." After saying that, she hurried away.

Cheng Suran and Tian Lin breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

They slumped in their chairs. Cheng Suran nearly stumbled, but Tian Lin quickly caught her and patted her back to comfort her. "It's okay, she's okay."

Cheng Suran bit her lip, tensed all over, and unconsciously clenched her fists.

"Sister Tian Lin..."

"Why?"

"If the police catch Bai Lu, can I meet her alone?"

Seeing that her eyes were red and her hatred was obvious, Tian Lin seemed to have sensed her intentions, so she couldn't help worrying: "What are you going to do?"

Just then, the emergency room door opened.

Cheng Suran hastily stood up, only to see Jiang Yu lying on the gurney, her eyes tightly closed, her face pale, like a corpse. She rushed forward urgently, only to be told that the patient needed further observation. Jiang Yu was then wheeled into the observation room.

"What does observation mean? Is there still danger? Complications? Or infection?" She anxiously asked a series of questions, leaning on the door and looking at the person lying on the bed through the small window.

The doctor was very patient, explained twice, and comforted her repeatedly.

Tian Lin tried to persuade her to sit down and rest.

"No, I'll just watch here. You sit." Cheng Suran clung to the door, refusing to let go, her eyes wide open, fearing that if she blinked, the person inside would disappear.

Tian Lin didn't sit down either and silently accompanied her.

She wanted to see Jiang Yu, but the small window was blocked by Cheng Suran. At this moment, she didn't want to compete with her. She knew Cheng Suran was more anxious and frightened than her.

Not long after, Xiao Zhou came over, then Tian Lin received a call, handed over Jiang Yu's clothes and bags to Cheng Suran, and left in a hurry.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when Jiang Yu was transferred to the general ward.

The air was filled with the faint scent of medicine, the walls were painted pure white, and the lighting was cold and white as if everything lacked warmth. Cheng Suran stood by the hospital bed, holding Jiang Yu's right hand without an IV, staring at her intently.

Vulnerable and pale, like a paper doll.

"Miss Cheng, are you hungry? I'm going to buy something to eat." Xiao Zhou approached lightly and said in a low voice.

Cheng Suran shook her head dully: "I'm not hungry, no need."

Her voice was so hoarse that she could only make faint sounds.

Xiao Zhou silently exited and closed the door. Although Cheng Suran said she wasn't hungry, she thought it would be a good idea to have some food on hand.

The ward fell silent again.

A vibration came from Jiang Yu's bag, and Cheng Suran was startled, afraid that this faint sound might disturb Jiang Yu, she quickly took out the phone and quietly stepped outside the room.

It was a call from a friend. Cheng Suran explained that Jiang Yu was hospitalized and hung up.

She returned to the ward and was about to put the phone back into the bag when she accidentally slid the screen with her fingertips, and a "recent task" popped up on the left toolbar of the main page, displaying the memo.

Below is a summary: "She doesn't like eating waffles anymore."

Cheng Suran was stunned. 

She?

A strong desire stirred in her heart, her intuition told her that if she clicked on it, she could see unexpected things. But she had once invaded Jiang Yu's privacy, which she considered shameful. Jiang Yu was still lying in the hospital bed, and doing this...

Just a few words danced in front of her.

Her heart struggled briefly and intensely, but in the end, desire defeated reason.

She clicked into the memo.

[She doesn't like waffles anymore.]

[She hates me, wary of me.]

[Her address: Marina Bay Phase II, Building 5, 18th Floor, Unit 1802.] 

[She doesn't eat garlic, doesn't eat onions, doesn't eat spicy food, doesn't eat coriander, but she likes sea bass...]

[When she eats, she tends to crumple a tissue, and if something touches her mouth, she has to wipe it off immediately, or she'll feel uncomfortable like she has OCD. It's cute.]

Not much content on the whole page, all about "She".

About Ranran.

The last edited date was two days ago, and a new item was added: 

[She still likes to watch the anime "Cardcaptor Sakura" even though she's grown up. I never watched it when I was a child. I must catch up when I have the time.]  

Cheng Suran couldn't hold back anymore; she covered her mouth and sobbed uncontrollably.
