Chapter 42 - Return to the Old Mansion with Him

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Li Jingran pondered for a long time. He took a picture of the two reports with his phone and then sent them to his friends who worked in the city.

If the development of this land conflicted with the development of the city, it would prove that Xu Wanwan’s argument was right.

And he could save a lot of money.

The sky had gradually darkened by the time he was done with all of these.

Li Jingran lifted his wrist to look at the time and intended to go downstairs to eat.

In the hall, the housekeeper was getting people to move things into the warehouse. When he saw Li Jingran coming down, he immediately went forward and said, “Director Li, the Xu family sent a lot of things. They said they were for Miss Xu.”

Li Jingran narrowed his eyes and looked at the things that were brought in. He said coldly, “Put them away. You don’t have to tell Wanwan.”

Only now did the Xu family realize that they had mistreated their own daughter, but it was already too late.

Xu Wanwan was living very well now. She naturally did not need the things that the original family had given her.

It was not easy for her to get over her trauma. She was supposed to welcome a new life in the first place. How could she go back?

Xu Wanwan heeded Mother Wang’s words and went downstairs for dinner on time. However, the moment she came down, she heard the noise in the hall.

She walked over curiously and saw that Li Jingran was also there. In a soft voice, she asked, “An express delivery arrived?”

“Hmm.” Li Jingran looked back at the girl, and his deep eyes softened. “Does your stomach still hurt?”

“I felt fine after I take the medicine,” Xu Wanwan replied meekly. “Thank you for helping me find a doctor.”

The corners of Li Jingran’s lips twitched slightly. “In the future, if you don’t feel well, let me know.”

“Let’s eat and get an early rest after eating. Come back to the old residence with me tomorrow.”

Xu Wanwan’s eyes stared blankly at him in confusion.

“My parents are back from abroad. Come with me to meet them.”

Xu Wanwan came back to her senses and nodded immediately. “Okay.”

Anyway, she was staying at Li Jingran’s home now, so it was understandable for her to meet his family.

Xu Wanwan attached great importance to this matter. When dinner was over, she took out a pair of plush mittens from her bag.

She had knitted this pair of mittens with her own hands using the best material.

She remembered saving up a lot of money at that time just to knit a pair of mittens for Mother Xu.

But when she had happily given the mittens in her past life, there was not a trace of surprise in Mother Xu’s eyes, only disgust and disdain.

Therefore, in this life, she did not give away the mittens and silently kept them for herself instead.

Although it was not something valuable, she took it out to give to Li Jingran’s mother as a token of her appreciation.

She then dug out a hand-drawn painting from the drawer where she kept her things. It was a vivid Siberian tiger, rime, and snow forest. The artistic composition was extremely beautiful.

In her past life, this painting of hers that had been stolen by Xu Yue had won the Youth Art Award.

This painting will be given to Li Jingran’s father. He wouldn’t mind it, right?

The next day, Xu Wanwan especially wore a dignified and stylish long dress in faint pink color that made her skin look rosy. Her black hair was tied into a braid and was draped over her shoulders, making her look exceptionally docile.

She put the gifts that she had prepared in her bag and went downstairs in high spirits.

Li Jingran’s eyes flashed with surprise when he saw the girl for the first time.

It was the first time he had seen her dressed like this. She was cute but elegant, and her temperament was refined. She looked pure and beautiful.

She was like a piece of white paper without any impurities, which made people feel pity for her.

Li Jingran strode over, gave the girl a measured look, then asked in a low voice, “Are you feeling better?”

“It hasn’t hurt in a while.” Xu Wanwan smiled sweetly at him and lifted the bag on her shoulder. “When are we leaving?”

“Right away,” Li Jingran answered her question calmly, but his eyes were drawn to her bag. “What did you bring?”

“A present for Uncle and Auntie.” Xu Wanwan followed the man and walked out of the door.

Li Jingran raised his eyebrows. “Is there any for me?”

“Do you…want one too?”

“Huh?” Li Jingran stopped and looked down at the girl’s small face. “Don’t I deserve it?”

The morning sunlight was shining on Xu Wanwan’s hair, her side profile looking fair and clear. She pursed her pink lips slightly and said seriously, “I was careless this time. I’ll make it up to you later, okay?”

Li Jingran was just joking, but seeing how serious she was, he actually looked forward to it.

He smiled slightly. “Okay.”

At the Li family’s old residence.

Father Li, who was drinking tea, said to his wife, “I wonder if that brat Li Jingran will be satisfied with the marriage we arranged for him.”

“What could he be dissatisfied with?” Mother Li took a sip of tea and rebuked, “He and Xiaolin have always been childhood sweethearts. It wasn’t easy for her to come back from abroad this time. The two of them should meet and have a good talk.”

“You’re right. They have known each other since they were young. They might have some feelings for each other.”

As the two of them were talking, they heard footsteps outside the old residence. They hurriedly went out to welcome them.

“Jingran, you’re here—”

Before Mother Li could finish her sentence, she saw Xu Wanwan. She looked at her in surprise and forced a smile. “Jingran, this is…?”

“Dad, Mom, let me introduce her to you. Her name is Xu Wanwan. From now on, she’s part of our family,” Li Jingran said with a serious expression as he held Xu Wanwan’s hand.

Father and Mother Li’s expressions were a little stiff and full of doubt.

As Xu Wanwan looked at the elegantly dressed woman and the tall man in front of her, she silently sighed about the power of genes.

No wonder Li Jingran was so good-looking. He practically got almost all of his parents’ good genes growing up.

She smiled at them first and said in a sweet voice, “Hello, Uncle and Auntie. My name is Xu Wanwan. You can call me Wanwan.”

“Well, come in and have a seat.” Mother Li concealed up the doubt in her eyes and continued what she was saying courteously.

Xu Wanwan walked into the house. Father Li grabbed Li Jingran and asked in a low voice, “When did you get married without telling us?”

Mother Li was also very anxious. “It’s fine if you don’t listen to us, but how can you treat marriage as a child’s game? Your marriage is such a big deal, but your parents don’t know about it. This is outrageous.”

“I’m not married.” Li Jingran’s voice was calm. He paused for a moment and said, “I picked her up.”

“What nonsense are you talking about? You brought a little girl to live at home without getting married. How does that look like?” Father Li’s face was red. He never thought that Li Jingran would do such a low moral thing.

Mother Li sighed deeply and pulled her husband back. “Forget it. The girl is still waiting in the house. We’ll settle the score with him later.”

In order to save face, Father Li held back his emotions and pulled Li Jingran back into the hall of the old house.

They sat down and the maids began to pour tea.

Father Li and Mother Li’s eyes never left Xu Wanwan as they gave her a measured look.

Mother Li took a sip of tea and sighed softly.

It seemed that her son liked this kind of girl who was obedient.

Although this girl was not bad-looking and had a good personality, Mother Li always felt that she was not a good match for Li Jingran.

She hoped that the people around her son were equally good women and not little girls who needed to be protected.

Father Li did not say anything, but he thought the same in his heart.

They sat there for a few minutes. Xu Wanwan lowered her head awkwardly and did not dare make a sound.

Li Jingran leisurely leaned against the back of the chair, speaking with a hint of impatience in his tone.. “Now that you’re back in the country, what are you planning to do this time?”
