The Evil Villainess' Sweet Love Story Novel - Chapter 334
Chapter 334: Chapter 335: I Can Wait
“Um…”Xu Wanwan’s voice became softer. “I’m also looking forward to your early return.”
“There’s been a change of plans. I’ll be back after this week’s work,”Li Jingran’s tone became more serious.
It didn’t sound like he was lying.
“You’re going to be the bride next week. Are You Ready?”The man suddenly asked.
Xu Wanwan froze. At this moment, she could not feel a trace of joy, but her whole body was surrounded by disappointment.
After waiting for so long, she could finally wait for Li Jingran to return to China.
However, old master Li was seriously ill, and mother Li’s attitude was firm. She knew in her heart that they would not be able to get married.
Xu Wanwan smiled faintly and said softly to the other end of the phone, “There’s no rush.”
“I can wait.”
“What’s Wrong?”Li Jingran could tell that there was something wrong with the girl’s tone. He asked nervously, “Are you still in a bad mood?”
…
Xu Wanwan did not realize that she had unintentionally revealed a low mood. She quickly explained, “No, I’m a little tired today. I want to rest early.”
Li Jingran paused for a moment and said goodnight to her before hanging up the phone.
He always felt that this girl had something on her mind, so he hung up the phone and called the housekeeper.
“Where has Xu Wanwan Been These Days?”
The housekeeper had understood something the moment she received the phone call. He subconsciously looked upstairs and saw that the lights on the second floor had been turned off, so he denied it, “Director Li, Miss Xu has been at school and the company these few days. She hasn’t gone anywhere. Why are you asking about this?”
Li Jingran had always trusted the housekeeper, so he didn’t ask further. He instructed in a low voice, “Send a few people to protect her in secret.”
“Yes, I’ll do it right away.”
The housekeeper finally hung up the phone. Her palms were sweaty, and her legs were limp.
Fortunately, director Li didn’t find any clues..
In the next few days, Xu Wanwan would still bring fruits and gifts to the old house to visit Old Master Li.
The result was the same every time. Mother Li did not want to see her, so many times she shut her out.
Xu Wanwan was used to this kind of cold treatment.
When she brought her things to the Li residence again, she tactfully put the fruits outside the door and asked a busy servant, “How has uncle Li been these two days?”
The servant glanced at Xu Wanwan and knew that it was difficult for her every day. She sighed, “Old Master’s illness is getting worse day by day. Don’t look at how energetic old madam is in chasing you away every day. In fact, she often cries behind your back.”
“Once, when I went to the toilet in the middle of the night, I saw the old madam sitting at the stairs wiping her tears. It was indeed difficult for the old madam. The Old Master was afraid that he would delay his son’s work when he was sick, so he endured it and did not say anything. He dragged it on by himself. I’m afraid that he would drag his body down.”
Xu Wanwan could not bear it and bit her lip. “What illness does uncle Li have? Is there no way to fix it?”
The servants shook their heads and said, “I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do.”
“What are you doing here?”
A shrill cry sounded behind them. Along with the sound of hurried footsteps, they were slowly approaching Xu Wanwan.
Mother Li glared at the servant who had spoken earlier. “Who are you? If you think our Li family can’t satisfy you, then leave as soon as possible.”
The servant was so frightened that she trembled. She didn’t dare to say anything and quickly left with her head lowered.
“Xu Wanwan, are you done or not? !”Mother Li said coldly. “I warned you that our Li family doesn’t need your hypocritical visit. If you dare to come again in the future, Don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
“And that pile of things you mentioned, who would be bothered if they were left at the door? Do you still think that you haven’t caused our Li family enough misery?”
Looking at mother Li, who had lost control of her emotions, standing in front of her, Xu Wanwan had mixed feelings.
Her lips moved a few times. “Auntie, if seeing me makes you unhappy, then I won’t come again.”
Before she left, she mustered up her courage and said, “It’s also very hard for you to take care of uncle. You have to take care of your body.”
Mother Li was slightly stunned. After she reacted, a trace of disgust appeared on her face. “Get lost!”
“Auntie, you’re too angry. Be careful not to hurt yourself.”Zhou Lin had appeared out of nowhere and patted her arm gently. “Let me go and persuade Little Xu to not come again.”
Mother Li sighed weakly. “You can go.”
A cold glint flashed past Zhou Lin’s eyes and she immediately chased after her. “Xu Wanwan, I have something to tell you.”
Xu Wanwan turned around impatiently. “What is it?”
“Heh, didn’t you act pitiful and innocent in front of the old Madam Just Now? Why is it like you’re a different person now? You really know how to act.”
“Mother Li is an elder, I naturally have to respect her.”Xu Wanwan laughed coldly. “Who do you think you are? I hate you so much, don’t you think I have to greet you with a Smile?”
Zhou Lin looked unhappy. “It’s useless even if you hate me. Father and mother Li treat me as the only daughter-in-law of the Li family. I’m sure you’ve seen it in the past few days. Mother Li’s attitude will never change.”
“Moreover, father Li is seriously ill now. Do you think Li Jingran will disobey his wishes and marry you?”
Xu Wanwan stood quietly where she was. These words fell into her ears like a bucket of ice water that was completely poured down.
Zhou Lin’s expression became even more smug. “If you ask me, you might as well take the opportunity to leave before the Li family hates you too much. That way, you might even get a lot of benefits.”
“If you insist on not listening, when the Li family kicks you out, it will be really embarrassing and embarrassing.”
“It’s not your place to meddle in my affairs. Mind your own business,”Xu Wanwan said indifferently and got into the car to leave.
Zhou Lin crossed her arms with a smug look on her face.
Let’s go. If we leave, we won’t have the chance to stand here anymore.

“Wanwan, why do you look so pale? Are you sick?”
In the study room, Lin Jiannan looked at Xu Wanwan who was lying on the table in a coma. He felt inexplicably nervous and quickly shook her awake.
“What’s Wrong?”Xu Wanwan woke up in a daze. Her voice was very soft and weak. She was very tired and her face was very red.
Lin Jiannan frowned and used his palm to check the temperature of her forehead. “Do you have a fever? Why Is Your Face So Hot?”
Xu Wanwan was stunned. She felt very cold and unconsciously tightened her clothes.
“I’m fine. I’ll be fine after sleeping for a while.”
After saying that, she continued to lie on the table and fell asleep again.
Lin Jiannan frowned when he saw her like this.
This was not the way to go on.
Since she was sick, she had to go for treatment immediately. If it was delayed for too long, she would not be able to take it.
Lin Jiannan walked out of the study room and called Song Qingchen.
The phone rang several times before it was picked up. She knew that song Qingchen must be busy at the research institute.
“What’s Wrong?”
Hearing the familiar voice from inside, Lin Jiannan felt a lot more at ease and said methodically, “Can you come to the school now? I think Wanwan has a fever. She’s a bit seriously ill and doesn’t want to go to the hospital. I can’t handle it.”
