Jiang Jian's swift departure from the nightclub left Gu Xun and Han Yufan concerned. They knew their friend's mysterious behavior hid deep wounds.
Six years ago, a fateful night had driven Jian away from his family and China.
Jian's mother, Madame Jiang, had been embroiled in a scandalous affair with a powerful businessman, Victor Li's father. The illicit relationship had produced a secret child, Jian's half-brother, Victor Li.
The revelation shattered Jian's world. Feeling betrayed, he distanced himself from his mother and the family business.
Madame Jiang's subsequent attempts to reconcile were met with Jian's cold silence. His anger and hurt had festered, making it impossible for him to return home.
Now, with his uncle's passing, Jian had inherited the family legacy, but the pain of his past remained.
As Jian drove through the city, memories flooded his mind:
His mother's tears, his uncle's disappointment, and Victor Li's smug grin.
Jian's grip on the steering wheel tightened. He couldn't forgive his mother's betrayal, nor could he shake off the feeling that Victor Li was waiting for him to slip up.
The city lights blurred as Jian's thoughts consumed him.
