Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xu Yue cried and cried as she looked at the camera in despair. The last bit of dignity she had was completely shattered.
Xu Wanwan could not help but cover her mouth as she listened to the painful screams on her phone. She immediately put out her phone.
These scenes were too empathetic. She had experienced these things yesterday as well. As soon as she saw these, she could only think of yesterday’s despair.
Xu Wanwan gripped her phone tightly, no longer feeling sleepy at all.
She did not understand why Xu Yue had experienced what she had gone through after one night.
She was lucky enough to escape, but Xu Yue was not so lucky…
Her phone suddenly rang again. It was a message from her QQ friend.
Xu Wanwan opened her QQ app and clicked into Lin Jianan’s dialog box.
“Wanwan, this is big news! Have you heard? Liu Ru’s family seems to have offended some dark organization and moved out of A City overnight.”
Xu Wanwan was stunned for a long time. “Where did you hear about it?”
“Now that the school has spread the news, I think almost everyone in A City knows about it.”
Xu Wanwan did not know what to reply for a moment. Looking at Lin Jianan’s intermittent messages, her heart was in a mess.
“Oh right, did you see the news this morning? A person the same age as us was raped. Those videos were all leaked out. It was simply unbearable to look at.”
“But it’s also strange. The net is so serious now. Why hasn’t the video been banned yet? Why is it spreading more and more?”
Xu Wanwan saw the news and quickly turned off her phone. She got up and walked straight to the hall.
It was still very early. The maid at home had just gone to work.
Xu Wanwan looked upstairs. At this time, Li Jingran should not have gotten up yet.
Aunt Liu could not help but say, “Miss Xu, it’s still early. If you’re hungry, go back to your room and rest. We’ll call you after we’re done cooking.”
Xu Wanwan shook her head. “I’m not hungry.”
“You didn’t eat dinner yesterday. How could you not be hungry?” Aunt Zhang could not help but say, “Sir didn’t eat yesterday either. He was hungry until midnight, but he refused to eat. I don’t know what happened...”
Xu Wanwan’s heart tightened. She walked to the kitchen in small steps, put on her apron, and started to cook,
Aunt Zhang quickly stopped her. “Miss Xu, you go and rest. We will cook.”
“Let me do it.” Xu Wanwan pursed her lips and said calmly, “I want to cook something for Mr. Li.”
Aunt Zhang saw Xu Wanwan’s serious face and could not stop her. She could only stay on the sidelines.
Xu Wanwan wasn’t in a good mood, so she buried herself in cooking the whole time.
Fortunately, her bad mood didn’t affect her cooking skills. Soon, she made a big table full of delicious breakfast.
She still had some spare time, so she made some biscuits and cakes that could satisfy her hunger.
As usual, she divided them into two portions, one for Li Jingran and the other for Li Xuyi at school.
After filling the last bag of biscuits, the sound of a man’s footsteps could finally be heard in the dining room.
Xu Wanwan’s eyes paused. She took off her apron and walked out.
Her expression was indifferent, but the corners of her mouth still curled up into a smile. “I made your favorite. Eat a lot, ah.”
Li Jingran frowned slightly. “Why didn’t you rest more?”
“I saw a piece of news this morning. I couldn’t sleep.” Xu Wanwan pulled out a chair and sat opposite him.
Li Jingran narrowed his eyes and easily noticed the change in the girl’s expression.
“Did you see the news about Xu Yue?”
Xu Wanwan looked up and met the man’s eyes. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, “Did you do that?”
“I did ask someone to punish Xu Yue, but I didn’t say that I would do it this way.”
“But the truth is, Xu Yue has already...”
Xu Wanwan didn’t continue with the rest of her sentence.
Xu Yue was indeed detestable, but she could never do such an outrageous thing.
For a girl, losing her honor and dignity and having it announced in front of everyone would ruin her life.
Li Jingran lowered his eyes and put down his chopsticks. “Are you blaming me?”
“No, I’m not blaming you.” Xu Wanwan was a little anxious and quickly explained, “This is a little sudden. I’m just here to ask you.”
Li Jingran slowly let out a breath. “I did ask someone to teach Xu Yue a lesson, but I didn’t ask someone to destroy her.”
Xu Wanwan looked at the man in front of her with a complicated expression. She recalled how good he had been to her and no longer doubted him.
Everyone said that he was cruel and merciless, but she knew that he wouldn’t do things to the extreme and would always leave some leeway for others.
So, even if he wanted to help her vent her anger, he wouldn’t do such a bad thing.
If he really did it, Xu Wanwan would never be able to overcome that hurdle in her heart.
After all, he was a god-like existence in her heart.
He was such a good person, he would not make her afraid.
Xu Wanwan quickly thought it through and said softly, “I’m sorry, I misunderstood you. Thank you for standing up for me.”
She only said one sentence, and Li Jingran gave up defending himself.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly.
It seemed that this girl trusted him quite a lot.
After breakfast, Xu Wanwan quickly packed her bag and got into the driver’s car to rush to school.
Li Jingran’s expression turned colder and colder as he called Zhao Zixuan over to the Li residence.
He asked coldly, “You better explain what happened on the internet clearly.”
“CEO Li, didn’t I do this beautifully?” Zhao Zixuan looked pleased with himself. “Xu Yue treated Xu Wanwan so badly. Shouldn’t she be punished like this?”
Li Jingran’s eyes were filled with danger.
If it were up to his character, it wouldn’t be too much to let Xu Yue receive such a lesson.
But Xu Wanwan was scared because of this, so he couldn’t do it.
“It seems that you didn’t take my words to heart. Then I don’t have to fulfill the stipulations in the contract.”
Zhao Zixuan was anxious. “Director Li, it’s immoral for you to do this. You know that Xu Yue is my ex-girlfriend. In order to help Wanwan, I didn’t care about our friendship at all. How could you not keep your promise?”
Li Jingran snorted and directly exposed him. “You also have your own selfish motives when you’re dealing with Xu Yue, right?”
Zhao Zixuan was stunned, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
Indeed, he did not care about the agreement with Li Jingran and used such an unbearable method to deal with Xu Yue. He also wanted to vent the anger in his heart.
He had been with Xu Yue for so long. In order to get her, he had spent a lot of money, but that woman did not appreciate it at all. She even went behind his back and got in touch with another man.
Forget it. She was no match for Xu Wanwan in any way now. If such a person dared to betray him, it would be better to destroy her completely.
Zhao Zixuan chuckled and casually brushed him off. “Director Li, I was wrong in this matter. You’re a grown-up and don’t hold a grudge against me. Give our Zhao Corporation another chance.”
Li Jingran did not answer and only let the Butler send the guest off.
—
The driver’s car stopped across the road. Xu Wanwan got out of the car early and walked a street ahead.
When she passed by an alley, a man wearing a mask and scarf suddenly rushed in front of her.
With a thud, the man directly knelt in front of her.
“Xu Wanwan, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong! You have caused me to be in this state. Can you not steal my identity as the second young miss of the Xu family?”
Xu Wanwan recognized Xu Yue’s voice. She looked at her humble appearance and found it hard to believe.
Who would have thought that a person who was once a glorious person would now be reduced to this state?
“Get up first. Let’s talk about it properly..” Xu Wanwan’s tone did not fluctuate.
