Chapter 174: I’m Not Good Enough for Him
“What!? You want to break up with Big Boss Li?”
In the study room, Lin Jianan cried out in shock.
Xu Wanwan hurriedly covered her mouth. “Shh, keep your voice down.”
“No... you two are fine, why did you break up?” Lin Jianan was full of confusion. “You even went to take wedding photos two days ago and said that you would get married after graduation. What’s going on now?”
Lin Jianan couldn’t believe that the couple pairing she had been with for so long was going to break up!
Xu Wanwan let out a light sigh, but her tone was still heavy. “It’s not me who wants to break up. It’s Li Jingran’s mother. She doesn’t want us to be together.”
“Are you talking about the woman who talked to you last night?”
Lin Jianan tilted her head and thought for a while. She remembered that a woman suddenly wanted to talk to Xu Wanwan after school yesterday.
“Yes, but I thought about it carefully. The two of us are indeed not suitable.”
Lin Jianan was so angry that she laughed. “How are you not suitable? When Mother Li didn’t appear, weren’t the two of you together?”
“Moreover, in this world, there is no relationship that is smooth sailing. You have to face some setbacks, right? Big Boss Li didn’t even say that he wanted to leave you. How can you say that you want to separate from him?”
Xu Wanwan still lowered her head. “But I’m not worthy of him.”
“How are you not worthy of him?”
“Wanwan, you have to believe in yourself. You’re also very outstanding. Don’t be misled by other people’s denial.”
Xu Wanwan said very softly, “But I can’t give him any help when I’m with him. He probably doesn’t want to find such a partner either.”
“Besides, his parents still don’t agree with us being together. It won’t be sweet if we force it.”
The two of them were meant to make each other successful in the first place. If this relationship could only make her successful, or even implicate Li Jingran, it would be unacceptable for her.
Lin Jianan kept frowning and felt very helpless. “Have you told Big Boss Li about this?”
“Not yet.” Xu Wanwan looked up and glanced at her. “I haven’t thought about what to say. Can you teach me?”
Although Lin Jianan had read a lot of romance novels, she had never been in a relationship and didn’t know what to do.
She thought for a long time and said hesitantly, “Why don’t you ignore him for a while and bring up the breakup when it’s about time?”
Xu Wanwan said, “That’s not good, right?”
Lin Jianan said, “But according to Director Li’s personality, if you suddenly bring up the matter of breaking up with him, he will definitely notice something amiss.”
“If you give him the cold shoulder for a period of time and then bring up the matter of not liking him, he will probably never want to see you again in his life. After all, men are very proud of themselves.”
Xu Wanwan bit her lip. “Alright... Then I’ll do that.”
“But have you really thought it through? It’s not easy for the two of you to be together. Are you sure you want to break up with Big Boss Li?”
Xu Wanwan forced out a smile. “I’ve thought it through.”
However, the smile on her lips quickly disappeared in a place that Lin Jianan could not see. Instead, it was replaced by a heart full of loneliness.
After school, Xu Wanwan secretly went back home to pack a few clothes. Then, she carried her bag and went to Xu Yuchu’s place.
“Sis, why are you here?”
The moment Xu Yuchu opened the door, his eyes were filled with surprise. When he came back to his senses, he looked behind her. “Where’s Brother-in-Law?”
Xu Wanwan was stunned. It was rare that she was not as angry as before. She turned sideways and entered the house. “I’ve said it many times. He’s not your Brother-in-Law. Don’t mention it again.”
Xu Yuchu closed the door resentfully.
He sat on the sofa and read a book. From time to time, he would glance at Xu Wanwan. Seeing that she had been silent, his expression did not look good either.
“Did you and Brother-in-Law have a fight?”
Xu Wanwan was stunned. She turned to look at him seriously. “Didn’t I tell you that he’s not your brother-in-law?”
She rarely showed such an expression, and Xu Yuchu was frightened by her. He then obediently shut his mouth and did not dare to say anything else.
After Xu Wanwan yelled at him, she suddenly felt a little regretful.
It was fine if she was in a bad mood, but why did she bring this kind of negative emotion to Xu Yuchu?
She heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ll go and cook.”
After putting on the apron, she busied herself in the kitchen, hoping that she could use this kind of busyness to divert the discomfort in her heart.
After working for an hour and a half, she made six or seven dishes and two soups.
Xu Yuchu looked at the dishes on the table and was even more puzzled.
Was there a need to make so many dishes just for the two of them to eat?
He really wanted to ask Li Jingran if he would come to eat, but when the words were about to come out of his mouth, he did not dare to say anything when he saw Xu Wanwan’s dejected look.
During the meal, Xu Wanwan tried her best to adjust her mood and gave Xu Yuchu some food. “Eat more.”
“It was my fault in the afternoon. I was in a bad mood. I shouldn’t have lost my temper at you.”
Xu Yuchu quickly said, “Sis, everyone has bad moods. Just let it out.”
Xu Wanwan nodded but didn’t say anything.
Xu Yuchu couldn’t help but frown.
He really wanted to help Xu Wanwan, but seeing her low-spirited reaction, he didn’t know what had caused her to become like this.
It couldn’t be that she had quarreled with Li Jingran and suffered a grievance, right?
At the thought of this, Xu Yuchu’s eyes turned cold.
He had clearly reminded Li Jingran to treat Xu Wanwan well last time. It had only been a few days, and she had already become popular again?
Both of them had their own thoughts and returned to their rooms after dinner.
Xu Wanwan planned to stay here for a few days. After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, she went into her room to look at the design drawings.
Xu Yuchu could not calm down for a long time. In a fit of anger, he called Li Jingran directly.
The phone rang for a long time before it was picked up. A man’s extremely cold voice came from the phone —
“What’s the matter?”
Xu Yuchu gripped the phone tightly and said unhappily, “Are you that impatient?”
Hearing this voice, Li Jingran reacted for a while, and his tone became slightly better. “What’s wrong?”
“I also want to ask you, what did you do to my sister?”
Xu Yuchu’s voice unconsciously became cold. “Last time, you said you would treat her well, but now you’ve made her so angry. What kind of man are you?”
At this time, Li Jingran was holding an emergency meeting. The veins on his hand that was holding the phone were very deep. He said coldly, “Where is Xu Wanwan?”
Because he was worried about Xu Wanwan, he directly ignored what Xu Yuchu said about him.
“What do you think?” Xu Yuchu was a teenager and would not think so much. “When she came to find me, her eyes were swollen from crying, and you still have the nerve to ask me.”
Li Jingran hung up the phone with a cold expression and suddenly announced the end of the meeting. He stood up, took his suit jacket, and strode out.
Everyone in the meeting room stared in the direction where the director had left with their mouths agape. Their hearts were filled with confusion.
Director Li, who had always regarded his work as his life, would one day be able to leave the entire meeting room alone and leave first?
Twenty minutes later, Li Jingran appeared at Xu Yuchu’s home.
