The Evil Villainess’ Sweet Love Story Chapter 173

Chapter 173 - She Still Doesn’t Want to See Me?

Chapter 173: She Still Doesn’t Want to See Me?

Xu Wanwan was slightly dazed after hearing what Mother Li said. She bit the corner of her lips and tried her best to keep a calm tone. “Auntie, you’re right. I’ll think about it carefully.”

After she said that, she lowered her eyes to cover the disappointment in her eyes and picked up the glass of water to drink.

No matter how calm she appeared on the surface, she could not hide the disappointment in her heart.

That’s right. It was useless no matter how much she liked Li Jingran. Marriage was all about being of equal status.

She had considered this problem before, but in the end, she was still blinded by this feeling.

Mother Li’s words were like a tranquilizer that woke her up.

“It’s best if you can understand.”

Mother Li finally revealed a satisfied smile and pushed the contract in her hand in front of Xu Wanwan. “This is a real estate and a luxury car. As long as you leave Jingran, we promise to transfer the ownership under your name.”

Xu Wanwan looked at the contract in front of her. The black words on the white paper were particularly dazzling.

She looked away and said calmly, “There’s no need.”

“Love is a matter between two people. Even if I leave him, it’s because I love him. I don’t want to be a burden to him, so I’m willing to leave.”

“If I didn’t love him, I wouldn’t have listened to anything you said today.”

Mother Li’s expression was indifferent. “The truth proves that you’re a smart person. If you listen to me, not only will you gain benefits, you won’t have to work so hard in the future.”

“I’ve been the wife of a wealthy family for decades. The grudges I have to face every day are beyond your imagination. A simple girl like you is suitable to marry into an ordinary family and live a peaceful life.”

Xu Wanwan’s lips curled into a bitter smile. She felt very uncomfortable, but she did not say a word.

What was the point of saying more? She just did not have a prominent background, so she could not get the support of Li Jingran’s parents.

“There is also good news to tell you. Li Jingran’s father and I have decided to acknowledge you as our goddaughter.” Mother Li’s eyes revealed a trace of sympathy, “We have learned about your family background. You grew up in the countryside. After that, you were brought back to the Xu family and did not enjoy any happiness. It was not easy for you to find our Jingran…”

“I have no intention of breaking up the two of you. However, you can continue to enjoy the wealth and glory that the Li family has brought to you. It is best for you to give up the idea of marrying Li Jingran.”

“Auntie, I understand everything that you have said.” Xu Wanwan suddenly stood up and stared at the table. She enunciated each word clearly. “Thank you for your kind intentions, but I can live on my own. I will not be greedy for the Li family’s wealth and glory.”

Mother Li couldn’t help but frown.

This girl still had some backbone.

The corners of her lips curled up. “That’s naturally for the best. Since you know what to do, then pack up and leave the Li family.”

Xu Wanwan nodded, put on her bag, and quickly left.

She walked freely, but there were too many vulnerabilities hidden beneath her determined back.

When she went out and sat in the taxi to rush to the Li family house, Xu Wanwan looked at the scenery outside the window, and her heart suddenly felt empty.

During the rush hour, when she was waiting for the traffic lights, a couple walked across the road.

The man was tall and the woman beside him was petite and cute. The two of them cuddled together sweetly and crossed the road with their fingers interlocked.

Xu Wanwan’s eyes were stung. She took a deep breath and averted her gaze.

When she saw other people’s sweet scenes, she felt very disappointed.

How can she easily fall in love and face a breakup after such a short period of time?

Maybe they were never meant to be together…

After returning to the Li family home, Xu Wanwan locked herself in her room and lay on the bed without eating or drinking.

She was not being pretentious, but she had no interest in doing anything, let alone eating.

She did not even have the mood to prepare for the design competition.

The most painful thing for a person was to escape from the warmest feelings and suddenly face disappointment.

That night, Li Jingran waited for a full half an hour in the dining room downstairs.

Aunt Zhang stood at the side with her heart in her mouth. “Director Li… Miss Xu is still not willing to come down for dinner.”

Li Jingran’s expression was frighteningly cold, and his voice was low. “Go and call her again.”

Aunt Zhang nodded repeatedly and quickly ran airs to call Xu Wanwan to come down for dinner.

She stood at the door of Xu Wanwan’s room and called out for a long time, but no one answered her.

“Miss Xu, no matter how uncomfortable you are, yo should at least say something. Director Li is very worried about you.”

Xu Wanwan covered her head with the quilt, isolating herself from the sounds outside.

She knew it was not good for her to escape like this, but she really did not know how to face Li Jingran.

How should she tell him about what happened today?

Was she going to pretend to be ungrateful and break up with him again?

She could not do it.

“Miss Xu, do you have any difficulties? If you can’t talk to Director Li, can you tell me?” Aunt Zhang was hopping anxiously outside.

Xu Wanwan took a deep breath, got off the bed, and opened the door.

She tidied up her messy hair and said calmly, “Auntie Zhang, I’m fine. Go tell Jingran that I just don’t want to eat.”

The moment Auntie Zhang saw Xu Wanwan, she was stunned.

The girl in front of her looked very pale. There were traces of crying in her eyes, which were full of redness and swelling. How was she fine?

Auntie Zhang was experienced. She asked subconsciously, “Miss Xu, did you quarrel with Director Li?”

Xu Wanwan pursed her lips lightly. “No.”

“Then you’re not feeling well? If you’re not feeling well, you must go to the hospital early for treatment.”

Seeing the care in Aunt Zhang’s eyes, Xu Wanwan shook her head slightly. “I’m really fine. I want to rest alone.”

After she said that, she looked downstairs hesitantly and closed the door.

If she were to confess to Li Jingran now, she really couldn’t do it.

After returning to the room, she simply put on her headphones and covered herself with the quilt, listening to music to ease her mood.

Downstairs.

“She still doesn’t want to see me?”

Li Jingran stared at Aunt Zhang with a deep and frosty gaze, his eyes as cold as ice. Everyone present couldn’t help but shiver.

The Butler could not stand it any longer. “Director Li, perhaps Miss Xu is in a bad mood today. Why don’t we wait until tomorrow to ask her?”

“Yes, Director Li. Miss Xi sad that she wanted to rest alone for a while, so I went downstairs.”

Li Jingran clutched the cup on the table unhappily, the veins on the back of his hand bulging.

Yesterday she was fine, but today she gave him the cold shoulder for no reason?

Heh, she’s really something.

He got up and went upstairs, throwing down an extremely cold sentence, “No one is allowed to go to her without my permission.”

The Butler and Aunt Zhang looked at each other, and both of them finally sighed.

After Li Jingran threw down the harsh words and went upstairs, he had been dealing with work in the study room.

He stayed up until the latter half of the night, flipping over the documents on the table in frustration. He got up and walked to the door of Xu Wanwan’s room.

The tall man stood outside the door. His shoulders sank, and he let out a depressed breath.

Listening from the outside, the room was quiet. There was not a single sound.

She must have fallen asleep at this time after a long night of torment.

He immediately put down his hand that was suspended in mid-air. His eyes darkened, and he turned around and returned to his room.
