Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Keep It a secret
About ten minutes later, a black sedan stopped at the entrance of University A. Li Jingran appeared in a hurry.
“What’s Wrong?”The man came in a hurry. Beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and his deep eyes were full of worry.
Lin Jiannan held Xu Wanwan’s arm and whispered, “Wanwan has a stomachache.”
Xu Wanwan didn’t need to pretend to be sick. Her face was already very ugly.
Li Jingran immediately frowned and looked at Xu Wanwan from head to toe. He could see that there was something wrong with her face. “Let’s go to the hospital.”
When she said this, Xu Wanwan’s face became even uglier.
She looked at the man with a complicated expression and said in a low voice, “Can we talk in the car first?”
Li Jingran nodded and brought her into the car.
The car door closed. Xu Wanwan felt as if she was sitting in a cage, and her heart was suffering.
She couldn’t help but look at the time. It was already very late. If she didn’t hurry to the party, she might be late.
Li Jingran looked at the driver and said coldly, “Go to the hospital as soon as possible.”
“Wait!”
Xu Wanwan hurriedly stopped him. “I... I feel better now. I don’t need to go to the hospital.”
“You Feel Better?”Li Jingran’s eyes darkened. He stared at her face for a few seconds and said in a deep voice, “This is not the time to joke.”
Xu Wanwan was depressed.
She was really not joking!
How could a patient be so comfortable.
But Li Jingran couldn’t believe it, so he couldn’t do anything about it.
In a hurry, Xu Wanwan came to her senses. She suddenly pursed her lips and looked at the man pitifully. Her voice was soft and soft. “My stomach really doesn’t hurt anymore. Can I not go to the hospital?”
Before Li Jingran could say anything, she was worried that he would refuse. She reached out and gently tugged at his sleeve. “Can I?”
“Are you really okay?”Li Jingran sighed in his heart and inexplicably compromised a little.
“Really!”Xu Wanwan’s eyes flashed. “Look at me, I’m fine now. How can I look like a patient?”
Her reaction was very normal. Her face looked healthy.
It seemed that the pain was gone.
Li Jingran then said to the driver, “Let’s go home.”
Xu Wanwan’s heart tightened. If she went home now, she wouldn’t be able to come out later.
Helpless, she could only look at the man innocently. “I have something to do. Can I not go home now?”
“What is it?”Li Jingran’s expression darkened. He felt that this girl’s series of reactions today was strange.
“Well... I’m going to attend a celebration banquet.”Xu Wanwan bit the corner of her lips and said seriously, “I’ve been invited over and over again. I have to go.”
Li Jingran looked at her deeply and pondered for a few seconds. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong.
“Are you pretending to be fine?”The Man’s voice was obviously colder. “Just to attend a banquet, you’re not taking your body seriously?”
Xu Wanwan facepalmed.
Uh... how should she explain?
Other than retorting, she couldn’t think of any other way. “It’s really not that. I’m not uncomfortable at all now. Just let me go.”
Li Jingran stared at her for a few seconds and said unhappily, “Is there anyone you must see at the banquet?”
“No.”Xu Wanwan blinked and answered truthfully, “It’s just that I helped a real estate company design a city construction blueprint. They specially invited me to attend the banquet, and I’ve already agreed.”
“You must do what you’ve promised others, right?”
Seeing that the man’s face was still sullen, Xu Wanwan took a deep breath and mustered up her courage to grab his arm. She shook it a few times and said, “Just let me go. When I come back, I’ll definitely listen to you.”
When she said this, her eyes and tone were very careful, afraid that she would accidentally anger the man.
Li Jingran was shaken by her and lost his mind. He felt a little irritated and nodded helplessly. “I’ll accompany you.”
“You’re so busy with work. You Don’t have to accompany me,”Xu Wanwan said quickly. “Besides, I’m just attending a small banquet. If you go there, others will definitely feel pressured.”
“Xu Wanwan.”
Li Jingran suddenly called her name and leaned over. “What are you afraid of?”
Xu Wanwan was stunned and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
She... What was she afraid of?
She was probably afraid that he would put on too much airs and that she would feel pressured to attend the banquet with him.
She was even more afraid of being discussed and discussed by others.
She just wanted to attend the banquet properly and didn’t think about anything else.
Moreover, this was her freedom in life. Why Must Li Jingran agree to it?
“I just want to face it alone. I don’t need you to accompany me, and I believe that I can handle those interpersonal relationships well.”
“Are you afraid that I will delay your business?”Li Jingran’s lips curved coldly. A trace of mockery flashed across his face, and the coldness in his eyes suddenly appeared.
Xu Wanwan couldn’t understand it. Instead, she felt a little wronged. “If you want to do something and I don’t support you, will you feel good?”
“Forget it. If you want to go with me, then go with me.”
She lowered her head and fell silent. She felt wronged and did not want to say anything more.
In the end, Li Jingran still compromised. The driver drove the car to the location where the banquet was held.
Xu Wanwan got out of the car and looked at the man timidly. “Then I’ll go in first. Goodbye.”
“Okay.”Li Jingran looked ahead. The profile of his face was tense, and his reaction was unusually cold.
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips and turned to enter the hotel.
Li Jingran only turned his eyes to the side when she turned her back. He stared in the direction she had left, and his thin lips formed a straight curve in displeasure.
When Xu Wanwan arrived at the banquet hall, the seats for the guests were almost full. CEO Teng was talking on the stage, so she quietly found a corner and walked down.
Gao Zongsheng had been looking for Xu Wanwan’s figure. When he saw that she had taken her seat, he quickly walked up and asked, “Miss Xu, did you get delayed on the way?”
“It’s nothing.”Xu Wanwan smiled faintly and said in a low voice, “The banquet has already started, right?”
“Yes. President Teng waited for a long time. When he saw that you hadn’t come, he went up to the stage to give a speech.”
Xu Wanwan said in surprise, “Wait for me?”
“You are the hero of this celebration. Of course, you have to go up to the stage to give a speech to everyone at this celebration banquet and bring out the atmosphere in the venue.”
“President Teng even invited a lot of reporters for this banquet. I heard that your company is about to be set up. Going up on stage to speak will also increase your popularity and allow more people to get to know you.”
Xu Wanwan nodded hesitantly and said, “President Gao, can you keep the fact that I started my company a secret?”
“Why is that?”Gao zongsheng asked in confusion, “It’s a good thing that you can set up your own company at such a young age. Why do you want to hide it?”
Xu Wanwan’s eyes darkened.
She thought of Sala’s hostility toward her before, and she couldn’t help but worry that outsiders would be dissatisfied and attack her maliciously.
“President Gao, it’s precisely because I’m young that I don’t have a strong foothold in this industry. It’s not good to publicize it too much,”Xu Wanwan explained calmly, “I want to hide the specific information of the company. I don’t want the outside world to know that I’m the one who started this company.”
Gao Zongsheng pondered for a moment. “What you said makes some sense. Back then, I also suffered a lot because of my youth.”
“Don’t worry. Since you want to hide it, I won’t tell anyone about it.”
