Chapter 819: ALMOST LOST EHR SOUL
'Has he lost his mind?' Mu Lan thought. She coldly gazed at him and said, "Are you insane? Give one reason why should I choose you over him."
Li Shen halted before replying, "Because I was your first love."
He was sure that if he coaxed her, she would still co back to him. So what if she was married? She could just get divorced and marry him instead.
"Hah." Mu Lan let out a small mocking laugh. "Just because a school girl is interested in a man who is a little bit rich, doesn't an that she is in love with that person." She saw his expression changing. "The only thing I can rember that I was interested in a man who was inhumanly cruel to . But then I t a super handso man who was not rich but also took great care of and gave a wonderful life that every woman dream. Do you think I'm stupid enough not to fall for him?"
Li Shen moved a little closer. He spoke in a guilt tone, "I-I didn't an to hurt you..."
"..." She was speechless. If he didn't an to hurt her, then how co she was hurt so badly? She almost lost her soul for her own childish desire.
Mu Lan raised an eyebrow. "Even if you were good to , it wouldn't change the fact that my husband loves more than anything in this world. He will let go of all his hard work and spend the rest of his life with if I tell him to do that. You are nothing like him. You can never be as great as him. So, don't jump for competition like a stupid. You know you will lose."
She turned and walked away. Before leaving the compound, she turned around and said, "Do you know what is the best thing you have done for ?"
She didn't wait for his answer and continued, "The best thing you ever did for was rejecting . If you didn't do that, I would never get my husband."
Then, she left. Just like that. Behind her, Li Shen stood there motionless. He was unable to move.
Mu Lan went straight to Hua Rong's company. On the way, she didn't forget to pick their dinner. In the company, she was welcod warmly and Hua Rong's secretary ca to take her to the top floor.
Mu Lan looked around and comnted, "The business is thriving."
The secretary was a middle-aged man who worked for Hua Rong from the very beginning of the foundation of the company. He proudly said, "It's all because of boss' hard work and President Li's guidance."
Mu Lan absentmindedly said, "Li Shen... hmm..."
They went to Hua Rong's room and the secretary told Mu Lan to sit there. "Please wait here for a while. The eting will end soon."
She nodded and replied, "Don't worry, I won't get bored." She took out her cell phone and began to play with it.
Soon after the secretary left, Hua Rong ca inside. "Xiao Lan, have you been waiting too long?"
Mu Lan smiled. "Not at all. I just ca. I brought dinner for us." She stood up and started serving the dishes.
Hua Rong adjusted his glasses and glanced at the clock. "Oh, it's already dinner ti. I didn't notice at all. Ti sure flies quickly."
He was about to say sothing to say sothing to his niece when his secretary ca inside and told his boss sothing in a low tone. Hua Rong nodded and then his secretary left.
Hua Rong comnted, "It looks like we have a company."
"Who is joining us? We have plenty." Saying that, Mu Lan looked up and her smile disappeared.
It was Li Shen. He ca forward and talked to Hua Rong. "Sorry for coming without further notice. I went to visit mother-in-law and thought of eting you before going back to Shanghai."
Mu Lan scoffed. There was now ay she would believe such obvious lie. He definitely followed her here.
Hua Rong was surprised and at the sa ti, delighted to see his son-in-law. He said, "Not at all. Not at all. It's our pleasure to have you here. Right, Xiao Lan?" He still didn't know that Li Shen and Mu Lan had t in the hospital.
Mu Lan bluntly said, "I forgot to order extra dishes. Only two of us can eat. It looks like my brother-in-law has to eat outside."
Hua Rong's smile froze on his face. He couldn't believe that his niece was speaking so tactlessly. "X-Xiao Lan-"
He was interrupted by Li Shen. "It's fine. I'll just eat the leftovers."
Mu Lan said, "There won't be any leftovers." Her tone was firm.
Hua Rong was speechless. He was crying inside. 'Xiao Lan, you are so sensible. How can speak to him like that? My source of inco!"
Li Shen walked forward and sat down beside Mu Lan's sit. He looked at the dishes and said, "I know we are all human beings here, not pigs. So, I'm fine." He ant that two people could never finish four people's als by themselves.
Hua Rong didn't want Mu Lan to speak any further. He ca forward and said, "Yes, yes, you are right. We have plenty of food to eat."
Till the end, Mu Lan refused to acknowledge Li Shen's presence. She took her seat further away from him and never looked at him once. She added few foods to her uncle's bowl and ate silently. When Li Shen tried to give her so chicken balls, she moved away. Hua Rong almost choked while watching the two of them.
After dinner, Li Shen proposed, "I always neglected my sister-in-law and never fulfilled my duty as brother-in-law. Because of my decision, she went to Italy and had suffered for so long. I would like to take her to Shanghai. She can et her nephew and play with him. I will take my ti to show her around the company and the mansions I have in there. What do you think?
