She decisively refused him, “These things aren’t important. I’m just simply not interested in you.”
In front of so many people, Xu Wanwan rejected Zhao Zixuan once again.
Zhao Zixuan felt that he was about to lose all his face. His tone suddenly turned cold, “Xu Wanwan, do you think that you can get everything just by staying in a rich person’s house for a few days?”
“I’m willing to give you such an expensive car because I think highly of you. Why are you so picky when you don’t even look at yourself in the mirror?”
Following Zhao Zixuan’s questioning, quite a number of people around started chattering.
“Tsk tsk, Xu Wanwan doesn’t quite know how to be content. She’s clearly the kind of woman who is greedy for money. Why is she pretending to be noble now?”
“The Mercedes-Benz car is already good enough. Is it still not worthy of her? If you ask me, she’s just too arrogant. If she doesn’t like anyone, then why would she come out and hook up with a rich man?”
“Don’t mention it. I hate women who hook up with rich men now. Such people are really shameless.”
“That’s right, that’s right. She’s so dirty, yet she still pretends to be a white lotus.”
Zhao Zixuan also heard the murmurs, and he curled his lips in satisfaction. “You heard it, right? One must be content. I’ve already given you enough. You’d better not be ungrateful.”
Xu Wanwan clenched her fists in anger. “I’ll have to trouble you not to think too highly of yourself. I don’t like you at all and now, I even feel disgusted by what you’ve done.”
“I can fight for whatever I want. I don’t need your hypocritical charity.”
“Also, if you dare to appear in front of me again in the future, I can only report you to the police for harassing me.”
Zhao Zixuan did not expect Xu Wanwan to say these words. “You’re actually telling me off like this?!”
It was really strange. Why did that country bumpkin girl, who used to be subservient, become a different person now? She did not even want such a good car. What exactly did she want?
Xu Wanwan was not in the mood to continue arguing with him. She held Lin Jianan’s hand and left quickly.
Zhao Zixuan looked at her retreating figure from the side, feeling his breath getting stifled in his chest and he couldn’t swallow it no matter how hard he tried.
This was too much!
Didn’t she only dare to treat him like this because of the power of the Li family?
If Li Jingran were to stop caring for her one day, would she still dare to reject him?
Zhao Zixuan’s eyes were filled with hatred as he turned around and left.
Xu Yue was hiding at the side and had watched him for a long time. When she saw that he was about to leave, she quickly ran up to him. “Zixuan, wait for me!”
Zhao Zixuan leaned against the car, looked back, and frowned immediately. “Who told you to come?”
“Zixuan… I know I’m wrong.” Xu Yue had dressed up especially today. She looked very pitiful as she grabbed the man’s arm. “I was the one who didn’t know what was good for me and let you down.”
“But now that I’m separated from you, I can’t find a better man than you. Can you give me another chance for the sake of the past?”
After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes to cover the surging hatred in her eyes.
She knew that it was Zhao Zixuan who had ruined her, so she hated him to the bone.
Moreover, he had betrayed her and even went to lick Xu Wanwan’s boots!
If it wasn’t for the fact that she wanted to use him to return to the Xu family, she would definitely take revenge on this man.
Zhao Zixuan had just been rejected by Xu Wanwan and he was very unhappy. However, with Xu Yue’s flattery, he instantly felt that his confidence had returned.
He snorted coldly. “You were the one who didn’t cherish me back then. It serves you right to regret it now.”
Xu Yue’s eyes were filled with tears, acting in all seriousness. “I was wrong, Zixuan.”
“Please forgive me this time. I’ll definitely treat you well in the future. I’m different from a heartless person like Xu Wanwan. She can abandon the Xu family and stay at someone else’s house, but I can’t do that.”
Xu Yue’s words reminded Zhao Zixuan.
“Hmph, Xu Wanwan is also a person who doesn’t know what’s good for her. I gave her such an expensive car and she’s still not satisfied. She really thinks too highly of herself.”
Xu Yue quickly echoed, “That’s right, Zixuan. She doesn’t know how good you are. She’ll definitely regret it in the future. For someone like her who can even abandon her biological parents, she’ll never treat others sincerely.”
“Zixuan, because of the incident last time, I was chased out by the Xu family. However, I miss my parents very much. Can you help me think of a way to return to my parents’ side?”
Zhao Zixuan looked at the woman who was crying her eyes out, and his heart was slightly touched.
Thinking of Xu Wanwan’s disdainful attitude toward him, his attitude toward Xu Yue became much better. “It’s a small problem. After all, you also want to return to your own home. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
“Don’t worry, leave this matter to me.”
Xu Yue’s eyes lit up, and she looked very happy. She moved closer and hugged Zhao Zixuan’s waist. “You’re so nice!”
Zhao Zixuan narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, enjoying the feeling of being praised to the skies.
Xu Yue buried her head in the man’s shoulder, hatred surging in her eyes.
Xu Wanwan, just you wait!
When I return to the Xu family, see how arrogant you can still be.

It was past midnight at the Li family home, and it was exceptionally quiet at night.
Xu Wanwan stayed in her room to study coding. She was wearing headphones and lying on the bed, typing away on the keyboard.
When the door was pushed open, she was still unaware.
Li Jingran leaned against the door leisurely. Under the dim light, he saw the girl on the bed with her legs crossed. Her fair side profile was too beautiful to be real.
He stood there for a long time, not saying a word.
A little tired from studying, Xu Wanwan yawned and looked to the side and saw the man standing at the door.
She was startled at first, but she immediately jumped off the bed after her initial reaction and walked toward the man with a confused face. “Why are you just standing there?”
As soon as she finished speaking, she frowned slightly.
Even from a distance, she could smell the strong smell of alcohol from the man’s body.
Li Jingran tilted his head and stared at the girl. His slender fingers climbed onto his collar, unbuttoned a button, and pulled his tie loose. His voice was a little hoarse. “I’m not welcome?”
Xu Wanwan scratched her head. “No…”
She secretly observed the man’s mood and said tentatively, “Why don’t you come in and have a seat? I’ll make you a cup of honey water.”
Li Jingran did not say anything, but he walked toward the room.
Xu Wanwan quickly tidied up the things on the sofa. She turned around and smiled at Li Jingran. “Wait a moment, I’ll get you a cushion.”
As she spoke, she trotted to the bedside and carried a cushion in the shape of a strawberry. She placed it on the sofa.
“Alright, sit down and rest for a while. I’ll get you some water.”
Li Jingran sat down and felt the soft cushion at his waist. He stretched out his arm and rested it on the side of the sofa.
He lifted his chin slightly. His gaze moved along with the girl’s busy figure. The emotions in his eyes were unfathomable.
He discussed a few collaborations today, and it was seldom for him to drink too much.
It was strange to say that he usually did not have any bad habits when he was drunk. He only liked to lie down quietly for a while.
But today, when he drank too much, his mind was filled with the image of Xu Wanwan. When he thought of the way she smiled, his heart seemed to be pulled by something.
With a hint of drunkenness, he came here by accident.
Li Jingran pinched the space between his eyebrows and couldn’t help but snort.
He had lived for more than twenty years and had never been influenced by anyone.
Since he met Xu Wanwan, he had made frequent exceptions.
