Chapter 224: Chapter 224: stay at home for a week

Xu Wanwan raised her head slightly and met the man’s gaze. Her voice was clear and cold. “We… have nothing to do with each other anymore.”

Every word she said was exceptionally clear.

It was as if she was going to speak into Li Jingran’s heart.

The surrounding air was silent for a few seconds, and their breathing sounds were unusually heavy.

Li Jingran stood up, tilted his head, and curled his lips coldly. “Xu Wanwan, you’re really ruthless.”

After leaving the Li family, he never looked back.

He thought that as long as the misunderstanding was resolved, she would be able to obediently return to his side like before.

But now, she seemed to have changed into a different person. The indifference in her eyes was hard to accept.

The corners of Xu Wanwan’s lips curled up as well, and she smiled mockingly.

“In terms of ruthlessness, I can’t compare to director Li.”

Yes, of course, he could rightfully say that she was ruthless.

But he had also forgotten that he was the one who had abandoned her at that time.

Did she have to Grovel and beg the man to keep her?

Or should she shamelessly turn her head over and over again?

This was not her style, and she would not do such a thing.

Xu Wanwan’s eyes suddenly became firm, as if she was trying to get back her broken heart. “Director Li, if you insist on not deleting the photos, it will not only affect my life, but also your work, right?”

Li Jingran looked at the girl with a complicated expression. He could no longer see any other emotions in her eyes.

His voice was terrifyingly cold. “What did you call me?”

Director Li?

Since when did she become so estranged from him.

Xu Wanwan raised her eyebrows slightly. “Call me director Li. What’s the problem?”

“Xu Wanwan, if you want me to delete the post, there’s only one request.”Li Jingran slowly picked up a stack of documents on the table and casually flipped through them. He said casually, “You have to agree obediently. The post can be deleted at any time.”

Xu Wanwan frowned slightly. She didn’t want to negotiate with him.

“You didn’t ask my permission to do this in the first place. What reason do you have to negotiate with me?”

“The Li Corporation is the capital.”The man slowly flipped through the documents in his hand and opened his thin lips.

Xu Wanwan’s eyes darkened.

How could she stop Li Jingran from doing what he wanted to do.

She couldn’t help but clench her fists. “You’re the President of the Li Corporation. You have the entire Li Corporation behind you. Before doing these things, have you considered the feelings of Li Jingran’s parents?”

Because of this matter, Li Jingran’s mother had already looked for her a few times, and every time she said something unpleasant.

She didn’t want to care about it before, but the public opinion spread on the internet had already seriously affected her life.

Li Jingran looked at her deeply. “Why do I have to think so much?”

He only cared that she wouldn’t return to his side.

As for other things, he didn’t care.

Xu Wanwan took a deep breath. In front of a man, it was obvious that she didn’t have enough momentum and was at a disadvantage.

She didn’t have the capital to negotiate with him.

Unless she agreed to his request, this post would definitely not be deleted.

Xu Wanwan quickly thought it through and said calmly, “Then what is your request?”

“As long as it’s not too excessive, I will agree.”

“It’s very simple.”Li Jingran raised his eyes and fixed his gaze on the girl. “Follow me back to the Li family.”

“No.”Xu Wanwan rejected him almost immediately.

Li Jingran had already guessed this result. “One month.”

She wouldn’t reject such a small request after going back with him for a month.

Xu Wanwan pursed her lips. “One week.”

“I still have a lot of things to do. At most one week.”Without waiting for Li Jingran to say anything, she said directly, “If director Li doesn’t agree, then I’ll leave now.”

To her, it was best if these posts could be deleted. She wouldn’t force them if she didn’t delete them.

After all, doing business depended on her own true ability. It would not matter if someone gave up on the cooperation because of her reputation.

There were so many entrepreneurs, and there was always someone who did not value reputation.

Xu Wanwan paused for a few seconds and saw that the man in front of her had remained silent.

She probably knew the result.

Of course, Li Jingran would not accept a bargain, so the negotiation ended in failure.

Xu Wanwan did not say anything else and turned to leave.

Just as she reached the door, a man’s cold voice suddenly came from behind her

“My people will come to pick you up later.”

Xu Wanwan stopped in her tracks, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

He actually agreed?

“Then when will the deleting of the post be completed?”Xu Wanwan turned back to look at the man.

Li Jingran did not answer her question. Instead, he picked up the phone and informed the people at the media company about the news.

After hanging up the phone, the man looked indifferent. “It’s settled.”

Xu Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief.

She gently closed the office door and walked out. She opened her phone and randomly clicked on a social media platform. As expected, she could not see the post about her.

The corners of Xu Wanwan’s lips curved slightly.

It was finally resolved.

It was just that for the next week..

When she thought of going back to the Li family for another week, Xu Wanwan’s feelings were a little complicated.

—

At eight o’clock in the evening, Xu Wanwan arrived at the Li family home with a small suitcase.

The door opened. Aunt Zhang stood at the door with a smile and caught the suitcase in her hand. “Miss Xu, Welcome Home!”

Standing behind Aunt Zhang were the servants of the Li family.

Everyone stood in two rows with an extremely respectful attitude.

Xu Wanwan was a little touched. She didn’t expect these people to still remember her.

“No need to be polite. I’m only staying here temporarily. You Don’t have to serve me.”She smiled at them.

Before the servants could say anything, a cold voice came from the side of the restaurant —

“Come and eat.”

Xu Wanwan’s heart tightened as she looked towards the dining room.

A man wearing a family uniform was sitting in front of the dining room. It was dark outside the French window behind him, and the man’s expression was gloomy and cold.

Xu Wanwan held back the smile on her face. “I’m not hungry.”

After saying that, she picked up her suitcase and went back to her room.

Li Jingran furrowed his brows. Looking at the girl’s Back View, his heart felt like it was being pricked by a needle.

Does she hate me that much?

I only asked her to stay here for a week, yet her attitude is so cold.

Li Jingran sat in front of the dining table. He didn’t take a single bite of the food in front of him, and the air pressure around him was terrifyingly low.

Aunt Zhang stood silently at the side, not daring to make a sound.

Seeing that Miss Xu had returned home, she thought that director Li would be able to reconcile with Miss Xu.

It seemed that it was a romantic scene now.

The next day, Xu Wanwan got up early in the morning and went downstairs.

“Miss Xu, you’re up?”Aunt Zhang, Aunt Zhang, was busy preparing a large table of breakfast downstairs. She said with a smile, “I just happened to make your favorite breakfast. Come and eat.”

Xu Wanwan looked at the food on the table and shook her head. “Auntie Zhang, I won’t be eating at home.”

“How can that be?”

Auntie Zhang was anxious. She quickly went forward and grabbed Xu Wanwan’s arm. “Director Li will be up soon. He will eat with you.”

When Xu Wanwan heard this, she didn’t want to stay for breakfast.

She slowly pulled her arm back and forced a smile. “Aunt Zhang, I still have something to do at school, so I’ll be leaving first.”

After she said that, she put on her backpack and strode out of the Li residence.

Aunt Zhang was stunned on the spot and sighed.

Ten minutes later, Li Jingran went downstairs.

As usual, he sat in the dining room and picked up the latest morning newspaper to read.
