She took a mouthful of hot porridge and suddenly thought of something. “Oh right, has Mr. Li had his breakfast?”
“Director Li has already had his breakfast. He should be watching the news in the living room.”
Xu Wanwan nodded. She quickly finished her breakfast and walked toward the living room.
However, the television at the center of the living room did not seem to be broadcasting news.
On the huge screen, there was a crowd of people and some familiar figures.
The location on the screen was A University. Zhao Zixuan was talking with the car keys in his hand.
“Wanwan, this is the car I bought for you. Do you like it?”
“I already said that I can give you what others can give you. Now you can be with me, right?”
Li Jingran sat on the sofa and watched the video with great interest, but the emotions in his eyes were unfathomable.
Xu Wanwan’s body stiffened and she walked to the man in small steps. “Why are you...watching this?”
If the video had been circulated in school, she would have understood, but the video had been spread to the Li family. This was a bit too much.
Li Jingran actually looked up at the girl and said indifferently, “I accidentally found it.”
Xu Wanwan sat next to the man awkwardly. She looked at the video that was playing repeatedly on the screen and could not help but ask, “Um, can you turn it off?”
Li Jingran pressed the off button without batting an eyelid. He adjusted his sitting position and asked as if he was saying it unintentionally, “I heard that you don’t like cheap things. You like luxury cars, right?”
Xu Wanwan observed the man’s expression and had to figure out what he meant.
She gulped. “No, I just said that because I think Zhao Zixuan is too annoying. I don’t want him to continue pestering me.”
“Also, I like the flowers and diamonds you gave me.”
Her words, filled with the desire to live, did not convince Li Jingran.
The man played with the remote control in his hand, and his tone was a little unpredictable. “I don’t feel like you like them.”
Xu Wanwan’s eyes lit up, and she said seriously, “I didn’t know that you were the one who gave me those things, so I acted a little indifferent.”
“But when I found out that you were the one who had given me those gifts, I was very happy and kept the diamonds in the small box.”
Even if these things made her the target of everyone’s discussion, she was still very happy.
After all, these were gifts from Li Jingran. She could not be ungrateful and break the man’s heart.
Li Jingran put the back of his hand on the inner side of the sofa and asked unintentionally, “I heard that you prefer luxury cars, right?”
Xu Wanwan quietly clenched her fingers and sighed silently.
She was really wronged. She said those words to anger Zhao Zixuan away. What if Li Jingran misunderstood that she was a materialistic woman?
Even if she could not explain it clearly in a few words, Xu Wanwan still said seriously, “No, I’m not interested in those luxury goods. I just feel that a person like Zhao Zixuan would definitely not be willing to buy a luxury car for me, so I deliberately pissed him off.”
“He won’t, I will,” Li Jingran said in a low voice with a disdainful expression.
Xu Wanwan didn’t hear him clearly. “Ah? What did you say just now?”
Li Jingran’s tone was indifferent. “If others can’t afford it, I’ll give it to you.”
Ever since he let Xu Wanwan come to the Li family, Li Jingran felt that she deserved the best thing in the world.
Xu Wanwan didn’t take this matter to heart. Seeing that he didn’t misunderstand her, the corners of her mouth curled up into a sweet smile.
“Then what do you want? I’ll try my best to help you get it.”
Li Jingran’s eyes darkened.
What did he want?
He didn’t lack power or money. What else could he not get?
After Li Jingran asked himself in his heart, he looked at the girl’s pure and beautiful face and was slightly touched.
He had seen too many complicated hearts, but he yearned for a sincere and passionate person to stay by his side.
And Xu Wanwan was exactly the person he wanted.
——
When Xu Wanwan went back to school after two days of rest, the rumors about her in the campus had already dwindled a lot.
She finally calmed down and began to read the book carefully, studying the latest breakthrough in programming.
Halfway through a thick book, a group of modestly dressed people suddenly appeared in the classroom.
The leader of the group stood on the podium with a few thick contracts in his hands and shouted enthusiastically, “May I know who Miss Xu Wanwan is?”
Lin Jianan was shocked and quickly pulled on Xu Wanwan’s sleeve. “Wanwan, they seem to be looking for you.”
Xu Wanwan: “...”
She put down the book in her hands with a puzzled expression and looked at the group of people blocking the classroom door. She didn’t recognize any of them.
She was tempted to pretend that she didn’t know anything and continue reading her book, but those people had no intention of leaving. The leader of the group shouted again in standard Mandarin—
“Miss Xu Wanwan, we are from A City Real Estate Company. We want to talk to you about some matter.”
His shout attracted the attention of the whole class.
Xu Wanwan had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up to walk toward the podium. When she saw the brother in a suit, she forced a smile on her lips. “Hello, may I know what you want to discuss with me?”
“Hello, Miss Xu. It’s like this. The ten properties that you bought from our real estate company have been paid for. Please sign our contract.”
After he finished speaking, another woman with a document came forward. “Miss Xu, these are the twenty cars that you bought. Please sign them.”
“Miss Xu, we have another company here. For owning the most shares in the company, you’re the new head of the company.”
Xu Wanwan was completely dumbfounded and took a long while to recover. After making sure that she was not dreaming, she asked softly, “I’m sorry, I’ve never bought a house, let alone a car. Did you guys make a mistake?”
“How could there be a mistake?” The real estate brother laughed. “You’ve given so much to our company in one go. I would never remember your name wrongly.”
Xu Wanwan stood where she was and did not have the time to say anything before she heard the discussion in the classroom.
She let out a soft breath and said in a low voice, “Let’s talk outside if we have anything to say.”
As she said that, she led a group of people to the school field.
She found a place that was empty and said helplessly, “Please take a closer look. Do you have the same name?”
“We’ve checked. You’re the only one named Xu Wanwan in A University, so this person must be you.”
“By the way, the money for the house was paid in one go by a Mr. Li. He might have given it to you.”
Xu Wanwan tried her best to remain calm, but there was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
She never expected Li Jingran to do this…
Could it be that he had really misunderstood her as a vain woman?
Xu Wanwan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She was even a little worried. “Um, can these be returned?”
She really couldn’t take in so many cars and houses.
Moreover, she was still a student now. To possess all of these things all of a sudden, there would be no point in striving hard anymore.
Then wouldn’t her life be very boring?
