Chapter 2476 – A Woman Received His Call
The woman was in her forties. She had her hair up in a bun and had light makeup on. She was wearing a rich lady’s suit and looked noble and elegant.
Hearing the commotion, the woman looked up at the door.
“Miss An, you’re here. Come in!”
The moment the woman looked up, An Rui froze for a moment.
In a flash, she had a guess in her heart.
This must be Shen Mingxiu’s mother, right?
An Rui was a little confused, but she still walked into the room.
Recently, Shen Mingxiu had not appeared in front of her and Zhou Li. She thought that he had given up and would not disturb their peaceful life.
Now his mother was here?
What was he trying to do now?
An Rui’s heart tightened when she thought of the villa the woman had mentioned when she answered the call.
Was she going to use the villa to threaten her?
An Rui sat opposite the woman with a heavy heart.
After the woman made a cup of tea for An Rui, she introduced herself. “I’m Shen Mingxiu’s mother.”
Sure enough.
An Rui took a breath and the hands under the table clenched slightly. “Auntie, if you have something to say, why don’t you say it?”
Mrs Shen looked at An Rui’s fair and exquisite face. She put down the porcelain teacup in her hand and took out a deed from her bag.
After opening it, An Rui saw that it was the deed to their previous villa.
An Rui pursed her lips slightly.
“I have some feelings for the place where I grew up.” Mrs Shen looked into An Rui’s eyes. “I can give you the villa, but I hope you can help me.”
An Rui bit her lip hard and shook her head. “If Auntie wants me to have anything to do with your son again, then my answer is no.”
“I really want to buy back that villa, but I only want to buy it back with my own hands, not with gifts and charity!”
Seeing An Rui’s firm attitude, Mrs Shen chuckled softly. “What about your boyfriend’s future?”
An Rui’s body trembled.
“Did you arrange for those people in the hospital to cause trouble?”
“I didn’t arrange it. Your boyfriend just happened to bump into a gun.”
An Rui clenched her fists tightly, her jaw clenched tight. “You and Shen Mingxiu are indeed mother and son. You actually did such despicable things!”
An Rui closed her eyes and when she opened them again, they were cold and calm. “Even if the Shen family used despicable means to make Zhou Li lose his job, I won’t agree to your request to separate from him and get back together with Shen Mingxiu!”
“If you don’t love me, then you don’t love me anymore. No matter how you threaten me, it’s useless!”
An Rui did not want to say anything more and picked up her bag.
Mrs Shen pressed the remote control and a familiar figure appeared on the TV screen on the wall.
Zhou Li!
Mrs Shen stood up and walked in front of An Rui. “I invited Dr Zhou over as well. Miss An, why don’t you listen to what he has to say? Is the woman more important than your future?”
An Rui gritted her teeth and glared at Mrs Shen with a dark expression.
“He has no background and only achieved what he has today through his own hard work. Do you think such a love will be happy if he loses the job he relies on to survive for a woman?”
“Little girl, love now needs to be built on materialistic things. If he is really a poor man, will you like him?”
“But don’t worry. Sit here and see what he chooses.”
Mrs Shen walked out of the room.
An Rui looked at Zhou Li’s figure on the screen and felt difficulty breathing for a moment.
Compared to Shen Mingxiu, who had the support of his family, Zhou Li had relied on himself to achieve what he had today. To him, he had worked hard for more than twenty years, but to rich people, their words could destroy his dreams and career!
Reality was cruel!
An Rui and Zhou Li had not been dating for long and she did not want him to work hard for this relationship!
If he really gave up on her, she would not blame him.
But when she thought of that scene, there was still a suffocating pain in her heart!
Before An Rui could think further, Mrs Shen had already entered the room next door.
There was only the image of the two of them meeting on the screen and she could not hear their voices.
Mrs Shen asked Zhou Li to sit down and she made tea for him.
Zhou Li’s expression was slightly stiff.
An Rui saw that his hands that hung by his sides had clenched into fists.
An Rui subconsciously looked away, not looking at Zhou Li’s expression.
Anger surged in her heart.
What did her relationship with Zhou Li have to do with anyone else?
Why did Shen Mingxiu’s mother come to cause trouble?
An Rui walked out and went straight to the private room next door.
She did not knock and pushed the door open.
Seeing An Rui enter, Zhou Li hurriedly stood up.
He strode towards An Rui and held her hand.
Zhou Li was not stupid. Without asking An Rui, he understood that it was Mrs Shen who had called her over.
When Mrs Shen saw An Rui coming over, a complicated look appeared in her eyes. She walked over and said to Zhou Li, “Think about it carefully!”
Mrs Shen left the room.
When only the two of them were left in the room, An Rui looked at Zhou Li.
There was not much emotion on his gentle face and he was as gentle as ever. “Have you eaten?”
Seeing that he was calm and had no intention of explaining to her, An Rui was furious, but she smiled calmly. “You still want to consider it?”
He had to consider if Mrs Shen wanted them to break up?
An Rui felt a lump in her throat. Her rationality told her that it was understandable for him to agree to Mrs An’s request, but she still felt sad.
“Ruirui, although Old Shen went overboard in some things, he didn’t deserve to die. I can’t…”
An Rui interrupted Shen Mingxiu’s unfinished words angrily. “Fine, do whatever you want!”
An Rui pushed Zhou Li away and ran out of the room.
Zhou Li got up to chase after An Rui, but she ran faster than a rabbit and entered the elevator in the blink of an eye.
Instead of returning to the apartment, An Rui pulled Xiaohe out for a drink.
After drinking too much, she went to rest at Xiaohe’s house.
Zhou Li called many times but she did not answer.
Looking at An Rui who was crying, Xiaohe’s eyes could not help but turn red.
“Sister Ruirui, can’t you focus on your career? You’ve been very popular recently, so I signed you up for a girl group variety show. If you can debut, your popularity will also increase. You can sing and dance well, and have a good personality. Once you’re on the show, you’ll definitely be very popular!”
An Rui lay on the pillow, tears flowing from her eyes.
Perhaps she was really not suitable to be in a relationship.
….
Zhou Li could not contact An Rui. Later, he called Xiaohe and was relieved to know that she had slept with Xiaohe.
He left the apartment and drove to the Shen family’s house.
It was already midnight, but Mr and Mrs Shen were not resting. They were sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Seeing Zhou Li coming over, the two of them seemed to have seen a trace of hope.
…
Twenty thousand in the morning!
