Chapter 335 Vivian is in Trouble

After Tan Zheng's birthday, training intensified. Even though the two lived together, they spoke for less than half an hour each day. Eventually, Tan Zheng couldn't stand such brief periods of interaction and switched to training early in the morning and returning home earlier in the evening. Song Ni would sometimes bring homework back with her, and Tan Zheng would sit beside her as she did it. After returning from SS Town, Tan Zheng developed a habit of drawing Song Ni, and he now had over twenty drawings, big and small. Seeing that Tan Zheng trained early and returned early to spend time with her, Song Ni gradually stopped doing her homework at night and also woke up when Tan Zheng left in the morning. In the evenings, they would read or watch movies together. Sometimes, when there were important meetings, Tan Zheng would have Song Ni accompany him. Song Ni initially didn't want to get involved in the group's affairs, but as it happened, she not only understood GN's business but also knew its plans for the next few years. She was already intelligent and had studied this field in graduate school. Later, Tan Zheng would occasionally discuss the future development of GN Group with her. Song Ni jokingly remarked that it was almost too much that Tan Zheng hadn't given her the position of CEO's assistant. Little did she know that after they got married, Tan Zheng had already transferred a portion of his shares to Song Ni's name. Song Ni was both the boss's wife and a boss herself. Time passed slowly, and their interactions had the quality of an old married couple, yet they also retained the passion and romance of a young couple. As the competition drew closer, Tan Zheng showed no signs of nervousness, but Song Ni, on the other hand, was quite anxious. While busy with various competitions and exams, she still went to the club to watch Tan Zheng train. She had watched so many videos of Tan Zheng's past races that she knew the rules by heart. She also took the time to research the strengths of the current professional race car drivers for comparison. Even so, she would still ask the club's coach and Huan Yuan for repeated confirmation of Tan Zheng's current condition. Only after countless reassurances did Song Ni finally relax a little. She wasn't concerned about winning this one championship; rather, she felt that with Tan Zheng's competitive spirit, his return meant he was aiming for the championship. What mattered to her was Tan Zheng's mood. If he won the championship, she would have worked hard for him. A week before the competition, Ian, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, suddenly appeared. Song Ni saw the man waiting outside the classroom just as she finished her class. How long had it been? Nearly three months. She had heard that Ian and the esteemed Miss KG had already gotten engaged; he was considered a man of status, so why had he become so haggard in just three months? Ian was finally not appearing before Song Ni in a perfectly tailored suit; he was dressed more casually, though still in a suit. Truly professional. Song Ni ignored him, but as he called out to her, everyone looked over. Song Ni didn't mind, leaning against the railing and pinching her temples. Recently, the more tired she was, the more easily she got tired, even though she had fewer things to do than before. Perhaps it was the approaching competition, which was putting a lot of pressure on her heart, manifesting physically. "What do you want to say?" Ian, sensing Song Ni's fatigue, asked. "Do you want to go to a coffee shop to sit for a while?" Song Ni raised her eyelids to glance at him. "Let's just say it here. I'm in a hurry to go back." Ian, however, insisted. "Fifteen minutes. There's a coffee shop not far away. Isn't it tiring to chat while standing?" She was indeed tired. Song Ni really wanted to leave directly, but Ian mentioned Vivian. Vivian had suddenly resigned the previous week without any warning. When Song Ni asked for the reason, Vivian, who usually said whatever was on her mind, didn't say a word. A woman's intuition told Song Ni that it had something to do with Ian. Sitting down at the coffee shop, Song Ni ordered her usual coffee. After just one sip, she frowned. The taste she used to love didn't seem very good anymore. Song Ni put down the cup. "What do you want to say? How is this related to Vivian?" Ian's expression was uncharacteristically awkward. After some deliberation, he finally explained. Song Ni's expression changed dramatically, and she stood up, taking her coffee and splashing it onto the man. "Are you even human?" No wonder she had felt Vivian acting strangely for the past month; it turned out she had slept with Ian when he was drunk, and not only that, but she was also pregnant. Vivian, having lacked fatherly love since childhood and yearning for family affection, coupled with her beliefs, wouldn't have aborted the child even if she didn't like Ian. When she confessed to Ian, he not only failed to protect her but also allowed his fiancée to confront her, leading to the loss of the child. Song Ni was so angry her vision went black, wishing she could kill the man in front of her. She was also angry at herself for not paying enough attention to Vivian during this time, being unaware of such a significant event. Ian was clearly shocked by the scene. His foolish fiancée had directly pushed Vivian, and blood had flowed out, pooling on the floor – the child he had barely gotten to know. Song Ni was about to leave, but Ian stopped her. "I know this is my fault, and I want to make amends, but I haven't been able to contact Vivian at all, which is why I came to you." Song Ni's eyes suddenly widened. Come to think of it, she hadn't contacted Vivian in days either. There had been too many things going on. A great sense of panic suddenly arose in Song Ni's heart, and she quickly took out her phone to call Vivian. There was no response. Song Ni opened their chat app to contact her but found that Vivian was not online. This situation made Song Ni's vision darken, and she swayed. Ian was startled and quickly steadied Song Ni. "What's wrong?" Song Ni pushed Ian away immediately, her body swaying, and she grabbed the table to prevent herself from falling. Song Ni raised her hand and massaged her temples. After a while, the dizziness subsided. Meeting Ian's concerned gaze, Song Ni's expression was cold. "If anything happens to Vivian, I won't let you go." With that, Song Ni picked up her bag and left the coffee shop. The driver had been waiting outside. Song Ni got in and gave Vivian's apartment address. On the way, she didn't rest and called Bartery. When asked about Vivian, Bartery seemed surprised but said she didn't know where Vivian was. Upon arriving at the apartment, Song Ni went upstairs to check and asked the building management. Only then did Song Ni learn that Vivian had left her apartment five days ago and hadn't returned. Five days ago, Vivian had come to her place and helped her bake a cake. The more Song Ni thought about it, the more panicked she became. Her relationship with Vivian had only become close after they came to England. They had talked a lot, but Vivian had only told her that she grew up in a single-parent family and had told her nothing else. She didn't know Vivian's hometown. She also didn't have contact information for any of Vivian's other close friends. Song Ni leaned against the wall, breathing heavily for a while, and called Vivian again. Earlier, the call had just not been answered; now, it was switched off.
