Xu Wanwan turned her head away, as resolute as before. “To me, it’ll be the same no matter where I live
She used all her indifference and humanity just to dispel his expectations.
Obviously, she succeeded.
Li Jingran suddenly felt powerless. He let go of his hand and turned around, saying in an extremely low voice, “You can go.”
It was as if a needle had fallen to the ground, causing an ear-piercing echo.
These three short words pricked at Xu Wanwan’s heart.
Wasn’t this the outcome she wanted?
It was only when she left could Li Jingran get along well with his family, and the Li Corporation that he was running could also rise to a higher level.
So, she turned around and left. Her back was thin and small, but she walked with extra determination.
As she walked out of the hospital, the emotions that Xu Wanwanhad been keeping at bay collapsed little by little. She sat on a bench by the side of the road and looked at the endless traffic on the street, feeling that a part of her heart was missing.
Behind her, the sound of high heels could be heard.
“Xu Wanwan, I didn’t expect to see you again.”
Zhou Lin curled her lips. She walked around the bench and sat beside Xu Wanwan.
“What do you want from me?” Xu Wanwan sat a little to the side, deliberately keeping a distance from her.
Zhou Lin tucked her hair behind her ear and smiled. “You went to see Li Jingran’s parents today?”
“But looking at how dejected you are, were you kicked out?”
Xu Wanwan couldn’t help but clench her fists. “You asked me to leave Li Jingran, and I did it. What do you want me to do now?”
“Don’t be agitated,” Zhou Lin said unhurriedly. “You should have seen Li Jingran’s father’s condition. He has a very serious heart disease, and now that he’s in the hospital, he can’t be stimulated.”
“I just want to tell you that he’s in the hospital because Li Jingran went to the two elders and asked them to break off the engagement.”
Zhou Lin chuckled. “I underestimated you before. I didn’t expect that Li Jingran would be willing to give up the Li Corporation to break off the engagement for you.”
Xu Wanwan asked in surprise, “What did you say?”
In the entire A City, the Li Corporation was one of the leading enterprises.
Why would Li Jingran make such a foolish decision to break off the engagement?
Zhou Lin’s voice turned cold. “You must be surprised too, but that’s the truth.”
“But it’s impossible to break off the engagement. Father Li was so angry that he had a heart attack. Naturally, Li Jingran won’t insist on it.”
Ahint of pride flashed across her eyes. “Xu Wanwan, stay away from Li Jingran in the future. Don’t let him see you again.”
“Otherwise, Li Jingran’s father’s condition will worsen. I don’t think you can shoulder this responsibility, right?”
On the way back, Xu Wanwan’s mind was in a mess. The words Zhou Lin said were still ringing in her ears.
Stay away from Li Jingran. It would never be possible for them.
‘When she got home, Xu Wanwan lay weakly on the bed, hugging the blanket and crying secretly.
Everyone played it down when they talk about leaving.
Even she pretended not to care.
But when there was no one around, she could feel the sadness of being separated.
Three days later, Xu Wanwan went to class to study, and after class, she took on tasks to earn money. Her life was packed, and her mood was much better.
It was a Friday, and Lin Jianan suggested that they go out for dinner after school.
Xu Wanwan did not have to go home early to have dinner with Li Jingran. She had nothing to do, so she agreed.
The two walked out of the school side by side, crossing two streets. When they were walking on the sidewalk, a small car did not slow down at all and sped past them.
Lin Jianan was standing in the middle of the road when she saw the car heading toward Xu Wanwan, her eyes widened in fear.
Xu Wanwan had lost focus for a moment, and the car was already rushing toward her before she could even dodge.
Just as she closed her eyes and was about to be knocked to the ground, a figure suddenly blocked in front of her.
She was pushed to the ground by that person and was tightly protected in his arms, and nothing happened.
In an instant, all the cars in the middle of the road were forced to stop. The crowd also gathered around to see what was going on.
“Tsk, how can you hit someone in broad daylight?”
“Yeah, this is a sidewalk. The driver is too daring.”
“That person seems to have been saved. I don’t know if anyone else was injured.”
“Wanwan! Are you alright?!”
Xu Wanwan felt her ears ringing for a while. Hearing the chaotic sounds beside her ears, she reacted for a while and crawled out from under that person’s arms.
The man who was protecting her had already fainted on the ground. Xu Wanwan knelt on the ground and flipped the man over. When she saw his appearance, she was shocked.
It was Zhao Zixuan!
He had saved her just now?
“Wanwan, are you alright?” Lin Jianan said anxiously, “The police are coming soon. You have to hold on for a while.”
Xu Wanwan shook her head in a daze. “I’m fine, but he doesn’t seem to be alright…”
Zhao Zixuan’s face was covered in blood, and he was already unconscious.
Lin Jianan asked in confusion, “Wanwan, isn’t he the one who chased you at school last time?”
“Yeah…” Ku Wanwan was also a little surprised. She squatted down and put him on her lap. “Let’s wait for the ambulance first.”
Although she didn’t like this man before, he did save her this time.
“Hmph, I’d like to see which blind person drove on the sidewalk!”
Lin Jianan was so angry that she walked to the car and scolded, “What did you do? Get out of the car now!”
In the car, Xu Mingcheng, the eldest son of the Xu family, was holding the steering wheel with both hands. His arms were shaking so badly that his face was covered in cold sweat, looking as if he was scared silly.
“What should I do? What should I do?”
A trace of disgust flashed in Xu Yue’s eyes. She said coldly, “It has already happened. Of course, it needs to be dealt with.”
Anyway, he was driving the car. It had nothing to do with her.
Seeing that she was unmoved, Xu Mingcheng said angrily, “If you didn’t insist on drinking with me, would I have drunk and driven?”
That afternoon, the two of them had lunch in the restaurant. Xu Yue kept urging him to drink.
Xu Mingcheng had just returned from abroad today and even had a successful negotiation for a large order. He was in a good mood and drank quite a bit.
‘When he was ready to go back after drinking, he was about to call for a designated driver, but Xu Yue insisted on stopping him.
In the end, the car was driven to the sidewalk while he was talking to Xu Yue as he accidentally bumped into her.
Xu Mingcheng was extremely vexed. “Xu Yue, this matter has something to do with you too. Why should I be the only one responsible if something happens?”
“Big Brother, you were driving the car. What does it have to do with me?” Xu Yue snorted coldly. It was as if she had turned her back on Xu Mingcheng.
This was a trap that she had set up. Everything was in her hands, and she had already expected this outcome.
She knew from the listening device that Xu Wanwan was going to pass through this section of the road, so she had arranged for Xu Mingcheng to drink in advance. She calculated the time and took the car to this place.
It was Xu Mingcheng who had hit the person, which had nothing to do with her..
