Chapter 92: You Should Suffer
Yes, they were blood brothers.
She was just an outsider who had begged him to let the Li family take her in. What right did she have to get involved in their affairs?
In this family, she had always been an outsider. Li Jingran was already very good to her, so she should not meddle in other people’s business.
Xu Wanwan returned to her room and locked herself in the room, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable.
She knew the reason, but she still felt wronged.
Why?
Why did Li Jingran treat her so well before, making her feel that he was the only person in the world that she could rely on?
But when she let down all her defenses and relied on this man, she found that her thoughts were so absurd.
Xu Wanwan couldn’t understand it, but she couldn’t blame Li Jingran.
After all, he had already done his best for her. People should know how to be grateful.
Unable to resolve these emotions in her heart, Xu Wanwan pulled open the drawer and took out a diary. She squeezed all her grievances and sadness into the diary.
“October 20th, Cloudy Day.
I seem to have done a lot of things wrong. Mr. Li might not like me anymore.
I drank alcohol and meddled in other people’s business. Mr. Li was very angry.
I can’t be so willful in the future. I can’t make Mr. Li angry again.
No one has ever been as good to me as he was. I don’t want to lose him.
I seem to be a little dependent on him…”
——
The next day, Xu Wanwan wanted to do something to make up for her mistakes. After thinking about it, she could only get up early to make breakfast.
She was busy the whole morning and finally prepared a huge spread of food. Seeing that Li Jingran had not gone downstairs, she went back to the kitchen.
She found a cake tutorial on her phone and practiced making cakes.
Aunt Zhang wiped the kitchen tools and was somewhat impressed when she saw Xu Wanwan studying seriously. “Miss Xu, you really put in a lot of effort to celebrate Director Li’s birthday.”
Xu Wanwan was whipping the cream. Feeling a little depressed, she forced a smile.
“It’s okay, as long as Mr. Li likes it.”
Aunt Zhang sensed that Xu Wanwan was not in a good mood and could not help but ask, “What happened between you and Director Li recently? Did you have a fight?”
“No,” Xu Wanwan paused and said in disappointment, “Maybe Mr. Li is in a bad mood. He doesn’t seem to want to see me recently.”
Aunt Zhang immediately said, “How can that be? Director Li is also very attentive to you.”
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips. She only felt that Aunt Zhang had misunderstood something.
“You were drunk that day, and it was Mr. Li who brought you back. At that time, he asked me to cook a hangover soup and even personally fed it to you.”
“I’m an old person in the Li family, and I’ve watched Director Li growing up. I’ve only seen him treat someone like this for so many years.”
Xu Wanwan was a little surprised. “Aunt Zhang, is what you said true?”
“Of course it’s true.” Aunt Zhang’s face was serious. “Director Li was very worried at that time. He’s always been by your side.”
After hearing these words, Xu Wanwan felt a lot better in her heart.
She smiled slightly. “Okay, I understand.”
After listening to Aunt Zhang’s words, she became more energetic in making cakes. In one morning, she had already figured out how to make two types of cakes.
Li Jingran still did not go downstairs to eat, so she could only sit in the dining room and wait.
She waited until eight o’clock in the morning until the Butler came over after work. “Miss Xu, aren’t you going to school?”
A glimmer of light flashed in Xu Wanwan’s eyes. “I’m waiting for Mr. Li to come downstairs to eat.”
“But Mr. Li left home last night. Didn’t you know?”
“He left last night?” Xu Wanwan immediately stood up. “He didn’t tell me.”
Awkwardly, the Butler said, “You went to Director Li’s study yesterday. I thought he would tell you.”
Xu Wanwan came to her senses, looking at the breakfast that had long since cooled on the table. Suddenly, she felt that there was something heavy lodged in her throat.
She sat back down and picked up a steamed bun to nibble on. “It’s okay. I’ll eat it myself.”
The Butler sighed to himself and turned to leave.
Xu Wanwan’s nose was sore, but she felt that she was being a little pretentious.
It was only him not having eaten the food she cooked. These were just all trivial matters.
As long as Li Jingran didn’t chase her away, it would be great.
Xu Wanwan finished her cold breakfast alone, went back to her room, packed her bag, and prepared to go to school.
Before she could walk out of the door, a Mercedes-Benz sped toward her.
Xu Wanwan froze on the spot as she saw a few familiar figures alighting from the car.
Xu Zhongyi and Sun Yuelan were rushing toward her angrily with Xu Yue in tow.
Xu Wanwan’s heart tightened and was about to take a step to leave.
It was definitely not a good thing for the Xu family to come knocking on her door. If she could hide, so be it. Moreover, she was in a hurry to go to school.
However, before she could take a couple of steps, Xu Zhongyi had rushed up and grabbed her arm. He said sternly, “You didn’t even greet us when you saw us?”
Sun Yuelan held Xu Yue’s hand tightly and walked over. She echoed, “I’ve raised you in the countryside for so many years. You’re really spoiled.”
“If you think I’m not good, then stay away from me,” Xu Wanwan mocked. “Why did you come looking for me again?”
Xu Yue hid behind Sun Yuelan and looked frightened. “Mom, I’m so scared of Sister… the way she looks at me is so scary.”
Xu Wanwan looked at her coldly and found it funny.
She did not even look at her, yet she was lying through her teeth.
Sun Yuelan stood in front of Xu Yue and suddenly flew into a blind rage as she raised her hand and slapped Xu Wanwan. “You vicious thing, you’ve caused your sister to be in this state, yet you still dare to scare her!”
The slap came all of a sudden, and Xu Wanwan stumbled back a few steps, with a strong stench of blood coming out from her mouth.
Xu Yue looked excited, like a villain who had achieved success. She then grabbed Sun Yuelan’s arm. “Mom, Sister is certainly at fault, but it has already happened. What else can we do?”
The more Sun Yuelan Heard, the angrier she became. She took out a lawyer’s letter from her bag and smashed it on Xu Wanwan’s body.
“Yue’er, you are too kind, that’s why you were bullied by her to this extent. She made you lose your innocence, and she even dared to use the Li family’s power to send us a lawyer’s letter. Isn’t this bullying you with no one to protect you?!”
Xu Zhongyi also said fiercely, “This is too outrageous! You’re sisters, why aren’t you half as kind as Yue’er?”
Xu Wanwan looked at the family coldly. She raised her hand to wipe away the blood at the corner of her lips and squatted down to pick up the lawyer’s letter.
This lawyer’s letter had been tampered with, and it was completely different from the one she sent out.
Xu Yue added fuel to the fire, “Sister, you’ve hurt me, and I can’t bear to hurt you. But you’ve caused me to lose all my face, yet you still want to bite me back. I’m really too sad.”
“My dignity has been lost. You were the one who forced me, and this matter has long been known by the whole city. Why did you sue me and say that I hurt you first?”
Sun Yuelan was once again ignited with anger. She raised her hand and was about to strike again.
Xu Wanwan was already prepared. She took a step back without a change in expression, grabbed her arm tightly, and returned the slap with a backhand.
Sun Yuelan took a few steps back and said in disbelief, “How dare you! How dare you fight back!”
Xu Wanwan’s expression was cold and her tone was cold.
“You gave birth to me, I owe you. That slap just now was enough to pay you back.”
“This slap is to repay the harm you’ve done to me. You deserve to suffer..”
