Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xu Wanwan did not want to cause trouble for Li Jingran because of her.
At a loss, she locked herself in her room to think of a counterasure.
In the evening, there was the sound of the butler knocking outside her door. “Miss Xu, Director Li is calling you downstairs for dinner.”
Xu Wanwan imdiately stood up. “Coming!”
Before she left, she put her phone into her pocket.
Since she couldn’t make up her mind, she might as well ask Li Jingran for help.
Xu Wanwan had sothing on her mind, so she was absent-minded during dinner.
Although she maintained a good posture the whole ti and talked to Li Jingran from ti to ti, there was still a hint of worry in her eyes.
Li Jingran put down his chopsticks and handed her a napkin with his slender fingers. “Sothing on your mind?”
Xu Wanwan raised her head slowly. Seeing that the man had seen through her thoughts, she decided not to hide it anymore. “Yes...”
“Tell .”
Li Jingran suddenly beca interested. He wanted to know what could be on this girl’s mind.
Xu Wanwan reached into her pocket, took out her phone, and found the ssage from Zhao Zixuan.
She carefully handed the phone over and said innocently, “I don’t know this person, but he keeps harassing and threatening ...”
Li Jingran knew that she had lost her mory. If she said that she didn’t know Zhao Zixuan, it would definitely not arouse suspicion.
Li Jingran took the phone and looked at the chat history on the phone. The frown on his face beca more and more obvious.
Zhao Zixuan.
He rembered this na.
He called the butler over and said coldly, “Go and investigate Zhao Zixuan.”
Xu Wan was slightly excited.
After a while, the butler walked over quickly and whispered sothing into Li Jingran’s ear.
His face beca darker and darker, and his heart beca more and more unhappy.
This Zhao Zixuan was actually Xu Wanwan’s fiancé.
If Xu Wanwan did not co to the Li family, she would be married off to this man soon.
Li Jingran laughed mockingly. “The Xu family has poor taste. They actually found such a good-for-nothing man to be their son-in-law.”
It was not an exaggeration to say that the people of the Xu family were blind. After all, they were capable of abandoning their own daughter.
Xu Wanwan walked to Li Jingran’s side and blinked. She asked tentatively, “Is this man my fiancé?”
Li Jingran’s tone was displeased. “He won’t be for long.”
“But he asked to et him... What should I do?” Xu Wanwan whispered.
Li Jingran narrowed his eyes. “Of course we have to et.”
Xu Wanwan was stunned. She didn’t expect Li Jingran to answer like this.
“He’s such a playboy, he doesn’t have the right to break off the engagent with you,” Li Jingran sneered. “If he wants to break off the engagent, you should be the one to dump him.”
Xu Wanwan’s eyes lit up and felt relieved as she imagined the scene of Zhao Zixuan being dumped by her.
However, she didn’t show it and nodded seriously. “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Li Jingran looked Xu Wanwan up and down and paused. “Co to the mall with tomorrow.”
“Aren’t we going to et Zhao Zixuan?” Xu Wanwan was puzzled. “Why are we going to the mall?”
Li Jingran’s gaze rested on the girl’s innocent face. “You’re a mber of the Li family now. Of course, I can’t let you lose face”
He wanted her to appear in front of Zhao Zixuan in a glorious manner and then dump the scum who didn’t know any better.

The next day, Li Jingran brought Xu Wanwan to the largest shopping mall in City A.
The air in the shopping mall was very cold. Xu Wanwan was only wearing a thin short-sleeved shirt, so she couldn’t help but rub her arms as she quickly followed behind Li Jingran.
Li Jingran stopped and looked at the girl behind him. He seed to think that she was walking too slowly, so he reached out his hand. “Hold my hand.”
Xu Wanwan hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly reached out her hand and gently pulled on the man’s sleeve.
The corners of Li Jingran’s lips curled slightly. He deliberately slowed down his pace and brought her to a high-end mobile phone store.
He asked calmly, “What brand of mobile phone do you like?”
“Ah?” Xu Wanwan didn’t react for a mont. “I don’t know...”
She had never changed her phone in her previous life. She had always used her old-fashioned mobile phone that had long been outdated.
Seeing that she was clueless, Li Jingran directly called the shop assistant. “Bring out the best cellphone in your shop.”
The shop assistant ran to get the goods. When she ca back, she introduced enthusiastically, “Sir, are you buying a cellphone for your girlfriend? The one I brought for you just happens to be bright pink. It suits this beautiful lady very well.”
Xu Wanwan was embarrassed by her explanation and she quickly explained, “You misunderstood. We are not in that kind of relationship...”
Li Jingran’s eyes darkened. He was inexplicably unhappy with Xu Wanwan’s explanation.
The shop assistant was also tactful and quickly changed her words. “I’m sorry, I misunderstood. But our phone is very suitable for you.”
Li Jingran said straightforwardly, “Pack it up.”
Xu Wanwan imdiately glanced at the price on the label and tugged at Li Jingran’s sleeve.
“What’s wrong?”
“I have a cellphone. I don’t need to buy one.”
Besides, she hadn’t earned any money yet. How could she afford such an expensive cellphone?
Li Jingran laughed. “How can you be so frugal when you’re the eldest daughter of the Li family?”
“Although my cellphone is a little old, it can still be used. It can be changed later on.”
“You want to save money for so much?”
Xu Wanwan pursed her lips. “But I can’t spend your money recklessly.”
Li Jingran said patiently, “I’m not short of money.”
Xu Wanwan wanted to say sothing, but the shop assistant had already packed up the phone and handed it to Li Jingran.
Li Jingran took out a credit card and handed it to the shop assistant. “Swipe the card.”
After swiping the card, the shop assistant looked at Xu Wanwan and smiled. “Sir, Miss, I wish you a happy life and a better relationship.”
Xu Wanwan smiled awkwardly.
Li Jingran took the new phone and saved a number on it. He then handed it to Xu Wanwan. “This is my private number. Call at this number in the future.”
Xu Wanwan took the phone hesitantly and looked at the three conspicuous words on the first line of the contact list with mixed feelings.
She really did not expect to et Li Jingran in this life.
This man seed to be much better than she had imagined.
Li Jingran could see the emotions in the girl’s eyes. He said in a low voice, “You have already left the Xu family. Don’t worry too much. So things should have been yours.”
Xu Wanwan’s heart was suddenly touched.
In her previous life, she had been robbed of her identity. She should have enjoyed the treatnt of the eldest daughter of the Xu family, but by chance, she had beco an adopted daughter that everyone hated.
In this life, she t Li Jingran, and this man told her that these things should have belonged to her.
Xu Wanwan soon ca to a realization. She raised her delicate chin and looked into the man’s eyes and said seriously, “I won’t give up what belongs to anymore.”
Li Jingran’s eyes were filled with admiration.
This was what he wanted to see.
The second floor of the shopping mall was a high-end won’s clothing store. Li Jingran had inford them beforehand and had already gotten people to prepare the latest batch of new styles.
When the clothing store staff saw that Li Jingran had arrived, they imdiately went up to him and said, “Director Li, when we heard that you were coming, we especially left the high-end styles that are the first to be released in the world.. I’ll go and get them for you right away.”
