The Evil Villainess' Sweet Love Story

Chapter 182: Growing Up

Zhou Lin was furious when she saw him. “Do you know that I might not be able to keep this hotel open if I offend that someone today?”

She had seen how angry Li Jingran was just now. What if he vented his anger on her?

She knew Li Jingran’s personality. In addition, he had said those words before he left, so it was more likely that he would do such a thing.

Zhou Lin kicked off her high heels in frustration and left quickly, barefoot. She walked to the side and called someone.

“Xu Yue, are you kidding me?”

Xu Yue: “What do you mean? Are you trying to vent your anger on me because you don’t have the ability to get close to Li Jingran?”

Zhou Lin scolded in a low voice, “Are you reliable or not? Didn’t you say that Li Jingran broke up with Xu Wanwan? Then why does Li Jingran still care about that bitch?”

Now that her anger had subsided, she remembered the way Li Jingran left with Xu Wanwan in his arms.

She had never seen such a tender side of Li Jingran. The way he looked at Xu Wanwan was filled with heartache.

This was something she had never experienced before!

Xu Yue replied unhurriedly, “What are you in a hurry for? Anyway, the Li family doesn’t approve of Xu Wanwan being with Li Jingran. You just need to seize the opportunity and slowly sow discord between them.”

“So what if Li Jingran can’t let go of Xu Wanwan? He’ll still have to marry you in the end. After all, the Li family won’t approve of Xu Wanwan.”

Xu Yue’s words made Zhou Lin feel better.

Only then did she heave a sigh of relief. “I know what to do.”

After this matter had blown over, she would make another trip to the Li family and find an opportunity to stay with Li Jingran using the excuse of apologizing.

As long as they stayed together for a long time, she did not believe that this man would not be tempted.

After a long time, Brother Qiu and the others dragged the half-dead Zhao Zixuan out of the hotel and threw him on the side of the road.

After they left, many people gathered in front of Zhao Zixuan to take photos and discuss.

Among them were Zhao Zixuan’s friends.

“Have you heard? He offended Director Li of the Li Corporation, which is why he was beaten up like this.”

“It’s about what happened tonight. Look at that hand of his, tsktsk... he probably couldn’t be saved in time and was really going to be crippled.”

“But if you ask me, he deserved it. It’s not good to offend anyone, but he just had to offend Director Li’s sweetheart. Isn’t he looking for trouble?”

“Sigh, it’s because of a woman again. By the way, how good-looking is the woman that Director Li has taken a fancy to?”

“It makes sense. I’ve seen the photos. The woman that Director Li has his eyes on is really amazing. Director Li can not be blamed for being so ruthless.”

The group of people discussed for a long time, but no one called the police for Zhao Zixuan. In the end, his friend could not stand it anymore and called an ambulance for him.

Li Jingran brought the girl home and asked Aunt Zhang to cook a bowl of sobering soup. After feeding her, he finally felt at ease.

In the second half of the night, Xu Wanwan was more than half sober. She opened her eyes and looked at Li Jingran with a blurred vision.

She gradually regained consciousness. When she saw clearly who the person in front of her was, she suddenly lifted the quilt and struggled out of the man’s arms.

She picked up the clothes on her body and asked cautiously, “Why are you here?”

She clearly remembered that she was drinking with Lin Jianan in the bar and had even said bad things about Li Jingran. Why was she lying in this place now?

The man’s face was dark, and he patiently helped her put on her clothes. “Don’t move.”

“You... You Haven’t told me why you’re here.” Xu Wanwan stared straight at the man. Her pink lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were full of vigilance.

Seeing that she was still in a state of panic, Li Jingran laughed lightly and asked calmly, “This is my room. If I’m not here, where should I be?”

Xu Wanwan was stunned. She looked around the room for a while. When she finally came to her senses, she suddenly felt a headache.

Some vague memories gradually came to her.

She remembered that she had drunk a lot and that Lin Jianan had snatched the bottle away from her.

Later, she was taken to a hotel by a familiar man.

Even if she had drunk too much, she could feel that the man had bad intentions, so she had been struggling to keep the man away from her.

But when she woke up, why did she appear in Li Jingran’s room?

“You drank too much and were brought to the hotel by Zhao Zixuan.”

Li Jingran seemed to have seen the doubt in the girl’s eyes and said calmly, “I brought you back.”

Xu Wanwan looked at the man in even more astonishment.

“Really... is that so?”

Li Jingran raised his eyebrows. “You don’t trust me?”

Xu Wanwan shook her head secretly.

Of course, it wasn’t that she didn’t trust him. After being with him for so long, she knew him very well.

“I just don’t remember what happened before...”

Xu Wanwan muttered softly, “I’ve already treated you like that, why do you still want to take me home?”

Didn’t Lin Jianan say that men were all good at saving face? As long as she gave Li Jingran the cold shoulder, he would completely give up.

But she had already given him the cold shoulder for a few days. Why would he still pick her up?

At the mention of this matter, Li Jingran’s face gradually darkened, and he said coldly, “Xu Wanwan, who allowed you to go out drinking behind my back?”

Xu Wanwan heard him call her name directly, and her heart froze. Her fingers unconsciously tightened the corners of the quilt. She looked just like a child who had made a mistake.

But she was going to break up with him. Why should she be afraid of Him?

Xu Wanwan took a deep breath and forced herself to look into the man’s deep eyes. “I’m an adult now. Why can’t I go out and drink?”

“You’ve grown up.”

Li Jingran’s thin lips were straight, but his voice was so cold that it was horrifying. “Now you dare to contradict me?”

Xu Wanwan was neither righteous nor strong. While she was still a little drunk, she decided to throw caution to the wind. “Anyway, I’m going to break up with you. Why do I care about those things?”

“Break up?” Li Jingran’s eyes darkened.

“Yes, I forgot to tell you. I don’t like you anymore. I’m going to break up with you now!”

Xu Wanwan closed her eyes tightly and said in one breath, “I’m not happy with you anyway. I don’t want to be unhappy all the time.”

“So let’s break up!”

Li Jingran snorted coldly.

She said it bluntly.

Xu Wanwan’s temper flared up. She was inexplicably angry at the man. “Don’t be so indifferent. I’m serious!”

“I won’t be with you—”

Before she could finish her words, the man pushed her onto the bed.

Li Jingran’s face was cold, but his heart was burning. He raised the girl’s arms and firmly controlled her on the bed.

“What...do you want?”

The moment their eyes met, Xu Wanwan exhaled a breath of hot air. She suddenly became timid and looked at the man carefully.

Li Jingran stared at the girl beneath him. “If you continue to make trouble, I’m not sure what I’ll do.”

Xu Wanwan swallowed her saliva. She was a little scared.

Seeing that the man’s eyes were red, her heart sank. She said resentfully, “I’m not making trouble. I’m telling the truth.”
