Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhou Lin looked at Xu Wanwan and smiled faintly. “You must be scared, right?”

Xu Wanwan looked up at the woman’s eyes, unable to guess what she meant.

‘That day at the Li family’s house, Zhou Lin was clearly hostile toward her, but today, she seemed to have become a different person.

She shook her head and said in a detached tone, “It’s okay, but you don’t have to pay for the meal. I can do it myself.”

She didn’t like to owe anyone anything, especially this woman who had a relationship with Li Jingran.

A trace of surprise emerged in Zhou Lin’s eyes. She carefully observed Xu Wanwan’s clothes and felt a little disdainful in her heart.

It seemed that she was really a little vixen staying with the Li family. She was wearing all brand-name clothes.

How could an eighteen-year-old girl have such an ability to buy such expensive clothes?

Zhou Lin narrowed her eyes. Although she was smiling, her tone was full of sarcasm. “I almost forgot that Miss Xu is Li Jingran’s favorite little maid. I was overthinking.”

“But I think you’re very interesting. Is it convenient for you to talk to me?”

Xu Wanwan looked at her quietly. Even though she could not figure out a woman’s thoughts, she was not afraid.

“Tm sorry, I haven’t eaten yet.”

Zhou Lin chuckled. “It’s okay. You guys can eat first. Come and find me after you’re done.”

After she said that, she walked out in her high heels.

After a while, a waiter served a few dishes. “Hello, this is a gift from our boss. I wish everyone a happy meal.”

Xu Wanwan was not in the mood to eat. After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, she looked at the table full of dishes and felt that her stomach was full.

She did not know why, but she felt that Zhou Lin was looking at her strangely.

This kind of disdainful look made her feel very uncomfortable.

The atmosphere at the table was still quite pleasant. After the Study Committee Member told a few jokes, the atmosphere became lively.

Everyone ate and drank as they toasted each other. Only Xu Wanwan was absent-minded.

Lin Jianan noticed her mood and could not help but ask, “Wanwan, how do you know the boss here?”

“We’ve met once,” Xu Wanwan said calmly. “I’m not familiar with her.”

“Oh, but why do I feel that her tone is not very good when she talks to you?”

Xu Wanwan frowned slightly. “I don’t really understand either.”

‘When everyone was almost done eating, Xu Wanwan got up and went to the washroom.

When she came out of the washroom, a well-dressed man walked over. “Miss Xu, our boss wants to invite you.”

Xu Wanwan noticed the words “Manager” on the man’s name tag. She frowned slightly. “What’s the matter?”

“Director Zhou is waiting for you upstairs. Please follow me first.”

‘The general manager made a gesture of invitation and headed upstairs.

Xu Wanwan hesitated for a moment. Driven by curiosity, she followed the manager upstairs.

Pushing open the door of the luxurious private room upstairs, she looked at the magnificent furnishings inside and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

She had thought that the private room downstairs was already luxurious enough, but who would have thought that the furnishings upstairs would be even more magnificent?

Zhou Li’s red dress trailed the floor as she stood in front of the French window, her back view seductive and sexy.

The manager retreated and closed the door behind him.

Xu Wanwan walked over at a leisurely pace and said, “May I ask why you are looking for me?”

Zhou Lin glanced at her sideways and laughed nonchalantly, “You are Xu Wanwan, right?”

“The top scorer in Science this year, studying at A University, and was kicked out by the Xu family, then went to the Li family.”

“What’s your relationship with Li Jingran?”

Xu Wanwan looked unhappy. “You investigated me?”

“Little girl, do you know who I am?” Zhou Lin turned around and stared straight into her eyes. She was confident and generous.

Xu Wanwan clenched her fists. “I don’t want to know who you are, but it’s very impolite for you to investigate me in private.”

“Is that so?” Zhou Lin sneered. “Then are you being polite by taking over my fiancé and living in my future home?”

Xu Wanwan was stunned. “What did you say?”

Didn’t Li Jingran say that the engagement with Zhou Lin was only because of the intent of the elders?

Zhou Lin saw through her thoughts and took out a contract from the table beside her and handed it to her.

“Take a look for yourself. This is the agreement that the Li family signed with the Zhou family when they were in trouble.”

Xu Wanwan’s fingers trembled as she took the agreement. She looked down at the words on it and felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Lin said proudly, “The agreement clearly states that the Zhou and Li families will work together to create greater benefits for the Li Group through marriage in the future.”

“Do you know what this means? Whether Li Jingran and I can get married successfully also represents whether the Li Group can continue to develop further.”

Xu Wanwan held the agreement in her hand, feeling complicated. She looked up at the woman quietly. “So what exactly are you trying to say?”

She had called her to this place today to say more than that.

Zhou Lin chuckled. “I can see that Li Jingran treats you well, but one must know one’s place.”

“If you want to see him in trouble with the Li family, then you continue to stay by his side.”

Xu Wanwan’s voice was a little tense. “Mr. Li treats me very well, but we don’t have the kind of relationship you think we have.”

“It doesn’t matter what kind of relationship you have,” Zhou Lin said nonchalantly. “I’m just letting you know that I’m the only woman by Li Jingran’s side.”

“Otherwise, the Li Group that he runs will face a great crisis, and his reputation in the family will also be affected. Do you have the heart to make him pay such a big price?”

Zhou Lin’s victory was in her grasp. “Then you should think about it carefully. Think about whether or not you should selfishly stay by Li Jingran’s sid

Zhou Lin’s words were like knives stabbing into Xu Wanwan’s heart.

Yes, Li Jingran was very good to her. How could she bear to see him suffer like this?

In the beginning, she had begged him to take her in. She didn’t want to disrupt his life.

But now, her existence had indeed affected his life.

After leaving Jade Forest City, Xu Wanwan stood on the solemn street in the autumn wind. She wrapped her coat tightly and still felt the chill.

‘The autumn wind blew and swept up the fallen leaves on the ground. The leaves that were flying all over the sky finally stopped in front of a gray Maybach.

The car door was opened and a tall man with long legs strode toward her. He was wearing a camel-colored coat and facing the flying leaves. Xu Wanwan only had him in her eyes.

“Why are you out alone?”

Li Jingran faintly stared at the girl in front of him as he took off his coat and handed it to her.

Xu Wanwan’s heart was unexpectedly calm. She did not reach out to take the coat from him.

She said lightly, “The students are still eating. 1 promised you that I would be home before nine o’clock.”

She spoke in an extremely soft voice, as if a gust of wind could swallow her voice.

Li Jingran noticed that something was wrong with her and subconsciously wanted to put his clothes over her shoulders.

Xu Wanwan quietly walked forward and avoided the man’s movements. She got into the car without saying a word..
