Xu Wanwan stood in front of her mother in a daze, not knowing what to say. Love and love were powerless in the face of reality.
Her eyes were sore, and the cold wind was blowing on the side of her face.
“I gave you a chance, but you rejected it. This is the last chance I’ll give you.”
Then, mother Li threw her an agreement. “Take this money and leave. The Li family doesn’t owe you anything. If you insist on not listening, Li Jingran’s father is gone, and you’ll have to atone for your sins for the rest of your life.”
Xu Wanwan squatted down and picked up the agreement. She looked at the signature at the end.
Thirty million.
So much money, what right did she have.
From the very beginning, she was the lucky one. Because of Li Jingran’s softness and trust, she was able to stay in the Li family.
Now that the Li family was in trouble, and Li Jingran was in a difficult situation, she couldn’t be ungrateful and deliberately stand on the opposite side of men.
Xu Wanwan quietly picked up the agreement and handed it back with both hands. “Auntie, I don’t need this money. As you said, the Li family doesn’t owe me anything. Li Jingran gave me a lot of things.”
“I will leave the Li family.”
The wind today was colder than usual. When she said this, her mouth seemed to be filled with knives, and her throat was sore.
Mother Li raised her chin slightly. “No need. Our Li family doesn’t lack that little money. You can leave this city and come back after Li Jingran and Zhou Lin get married.”
“You should be a smart person. You should know what to do. Even if you leave, don’t dream of reuniting with Li Jingran in the future. He can only marry Zhou Lin for the rest of his life.”
Xu Wanwan nodded. “Okay.”
After Li Jingran left, she clutched the agreement in her hand tightly. She turned around and looked at the second floor of the old mansion. Her eyes instantly blurred..
After returning to the Li family, she packed a few clothes that she usually wore from the closet.
She had nothing when she came, and she didn’t seem to have anything to take with her when she left.
That day, she made a trip to the school and knocked on the principal’s office door.
“Principal, you said that you had the opportunity to go abroad for further studies. Do you still have it now?”
Principal Fang said in surprise, “I specially saved it for you. You’ve finally thought it through!”
“Yes!”Xu Wanwan said seriously, “I want to go there earlier. Is that okay?”
“The original time is the second half of the year, but if you go there earlier, you can also adapt to the environment there.”Principal Fang thought for a moment and nodded, “Let’s do it this way. When you go there, the school will transfer the funding to your card.”
Xu Wanwan nodded. “Okay, thank you, Principal.”
After leaving the school, she went to the design company again and transferred all the shares of the company to the Li Corporation.
She also gave up the management rights of the tutoring organization. When she left after doing all this, she felt relaxed.
It was easy to push away these external things, but there were still people here that she could not let go of.
Xu Wanwan stood on the street and raised her wrist to look at the time.
At six o’clock in the evening, she could still ask Lin Jiannan to meet her.
In the coffee shop.
After hearing Xu Wanwan’s words, Lin Jiannan’s eyes turned red. “Wanwan, have you really thought about leaving?”
Xu Wanwan lowered her head and stirred the coffee in her cup. Even though she felt extremely uncomfortable, she still held back her emotions.
She looked at the night scene outside the French window and smiled bitterly. “I have no other choice.”
“But…”Lin Jiannan could not continue. She got up and walked to Xu Wanwan’s side and hugged her tightly. “As your friend, I don’t want to interfere with your choice.”
“But you must take good care of yourself when you’re alone in a foreign country. If there’s anything, you must call me. We have to keep in touch often.”
Xu Wanwan smiled faintly, but there was no joy in her smile. “Don’t worry, I’ll remember what you said.”
The two of them chatted for a while. Lin Jiannan pursed her lips and asked, “When do you plan to leave?”
Xu Wanwan subconsciously turned the ring in her hand. The cold touch woke her up quite a bit.
At this moment, the ring seemed a bit redundant and also a bit ironic.
“I’ve booked the plane ticket early tomorrow morning.”
When she said this, she straightened her back slightly and looked indifferent as if nothing had happened.
Time would pass eventually. The two of them only spent forty minutes together before Xu Wanwan paid the bill and left.
The last person to say goodbye was only Li Jingran.
This was the most difficult hurdle.
But she could only brace herself and move forward.
When Xu Wanwan reached home, Li Jingran was not back yet.
She sat in front of the dressing table and carefully put on a good-looking make-up. She especially changed into the most beautiful dress.
In the mirror, she had long black hair and delicate facial features. But with such beauty, her eyes lost their luster.
Xu Wanwan dressed up and went downstairs. She walked to the kitchen, put on an apron, and began to cook.
“Miss Xu, leave the kitchen to me!”Aunt Zhang hurried over. “You’ve been too busy recently. You should rest well for a while.”
Xu Wanwan shook her head lightly and said in a particularly serious tone, “I want to cook dinner for Li Jingran today. Don’t Stop Me.”
Aunt Zhang’s gaze gradually became complicated. She always felt that Xu Wanwan’s condition today was very abnormal.
But she did not find any other clues, so she stood to the side to help.
Xu Wanwan skillfully made four dishes and a soup. Although it was not sumptuous enough, these dishes were what she was best at.
Because these dishes were also Li Jingran’s favorite on a daily basis.
After making dinner, the clock in the dining room was pointing to 8:30.
It was 8:30 in the evening. Li Jingran should be back soon.
Xu Wanwan untied her apron, lit the candles, and sat at the dining table, waiting calmly.
Just like how Li Jingran waited for her to have breakfast every morning.
A moment later, she heard the sound of heavy and tired footsteps behind her.
Xu Wanwan quickly turned around and said obediently, “It’s time to eat.”
Li Jingran held his suit jacket with one hand. The emotion in his eyes was low and cold. He glanced at the dinner on the table and had no appetite at all.
“No appetite,”his voice was hoarse. He turned around and went upstairs.
Xu Wanwan froze on the spot. Under the candlelight, her face was stiff.
The food in front of her was still hot, and the fragrance came from time to time.
This might be the last dinner she had with him.
“Li Jingran!”
Xu Wanwan suddenly stood up and grabbed the man’s wrist. “You haven’t eaten all day. You should eat at least one bite.”
Li Jingran was physically and mentally exhausted. He frowned slightly, but the girl still pulled him to sit at the dining table.
Xu Wanwan quietly put away her bad mood and picked up a piece of food for the man. “This is your favorite sweet and sour fish. Try It.”
She still held her chin with an expectant look on her face and looked at the man with a twinkle in her eyes.
Li Jingran sighed deeply. He didn’t want to hurt her good intentions, so he picked up his chopsticks and took a casual bite. “Not bad.”
Xu Wanwan knew that he was being perfunctory, so she did not expose him.
She continued to put food into the man’s bowl, immersing herself in it as if nothing had changed.
Li Jingran only took a few bites before putting down his chopsticks.
