The Evil Villainess' Sweet Love Story

Chapter 186 - Choosing Who I Like



Chapter 186: Choosing Who I Like

Mother Li was a smart person. The moment Xu Wanwan entered the house, she had sensed that something was wrong.

Hence, she had directly brought the topic here in front of everyone.

Xu Wanwan gradually lowered her head. It would be a lie to say that she was not sad.

The feeling of being denied in public was really uncomfortable.

Just as she was feeling down, she suddenly heard that familiar cold voice

“The Li family doesn’t lack money or power. Why can’t I choose the one I like?”

Mother Li choked and was refuted by her son in public. Her face also darkened. “Li Jingran, this isn’t about money or power. It’s about our credibility.”

“We agreed to marry the Zhou family previously. Zhou Lin likes you so much. How can you betray the kindness of others?”

Li Jingran snorted coldly. “The engagement has been annulled.”

“Li Jingran, you still have the nerve to say that!” Father Li said angrily at the mention of this matter. “If you hadn’t angered her and she was fine, how could she have annulled the engagement?”

Li Jingran sneered when he heard this, but his attitude was still indifferent.

“Don’t you value character the most? Why don’t you investigate what kind of person Zhou Lin is behind the scenes?”

He could only blame himself for giving Zhou Lin some face in the past, thinking that after the engagement was broken off, the two elders would be able to calm down.

Who would have known that things would develop to this point, and they still have not given up.

Mother Li could not help but feel indignant. “Li Jingran, we have to be honest. I think Zhou Lin is a pretty good child. When you were not around, she often came to visit us.”

“Her family background is good. She also graduated from a famous school and studied abroad. She managed the Zhou Group well at such a young age. Why is she not good?”

“She is not worthy of Li Jingran.” Master Nanshan’s expression became serious when he heard these words.

Father Li and Mother Li looked at him in astonishment.

Master Nanshan had never liked to meddle in other people’s business. Why was he interfering in their family’s affairs today?

Master Nanshan’s voice turned cold. “Zhou Lin is also my disciple. She has been with me for ten years. Consider me someone who has watched her grow up.”

“The funny thing is that she has been by my side for so many years, but I have never discovered her true character. It was only recently that I found out what kind of person she is.”

Father Li and Mother Li looked at Master Nanshan in a daze.

“Stop keeping us in suspense. Tell us what you know quickly,” Father Li said anxiously.

“Zhou Lin concealed her identity overseas. Her private life was extremely chaotic. She had a child with a foreigner, became a third party, and got mixed up with a gang. There are too many things that will shock people...”

Every time he would say this, Master Nanshan could not help but shake his head.

He had never thought that his good disciple would have such a vile character behind his back.

Mother Li’s face was filled with disbelief. “Zhou Lin looked so sensible and obedient child. How could she do such a thing?”

“Could you have mistaken her for someone else?”

Master Nanshan said seriously, “When I first found out about this, my reaction was the same as yours. Later on, I also sent people to investigate. This is the truth.”

Mother Li frowned and muttered, “Hubby, no matter how bad our Li family is, we can’t marry a woman who has already given birth to a child.”

“If what Nanshan said is true, that Zhou Lin is definitely a very scheming girl. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have hidden it so well...”

Father Li’s expression became complicated. He pondered for a moment and then shifted his gaze to Xu Wanwan. He couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

If Zhou Lin was really that kind of person with bad morals, it wouldn’t be difficult to understand why Li Jingran insisted on choosing Xu Wanwan.

Actually, thinking about it now, Xu Wanwan was also very outstanding.

This girl was very good-looking and had a tall and slender figure. It was said that she was also studying at a famous school. She had even become Master Nanshan’s disciple.

Other than not having a background that was on par with the Li family, the others were all very good.

However, what Li Jingran said made sense. The Li family did not lack anything. When it came to choosing a daughter-in-law, it was enough as long as they liked it.

“Old Li, you said that you’ve been sober all your life. Why can’t you be a fool for once?” Master Nanshan also looked at Xu Wanwan and said sincerely, “I think Little Xu is really a good child. She’s more than enough to match your Jingran.”

“Moreover, this is the girl that Jingran likes. What can you do if you let the young man make his own decisions?”

Father Li was gradually swayed by her words. He subconsciously glanced at Mother Li, as if asking for her opinion.

Mother Li didn’t say anything but nodded.

Xu Wanwan looked at their reactions and was delighted.

Could it be that they finally recognized her?

Mother Li sighed lightly and looked at Li Jingran helplessly. “Alright, we can’t persuade you. Since you insist on being with this girl, then we’ll let you be.”

Father Li also said, “If you’ve confirmed it, then get married as soon as possible. It’s time for you to start a family. Giving birth to a grandchild for me is the most important thing.”

When Xu Wanwan heard this, she inexplicably blushed.

Marriage was still a distant thing to her.

But Father Li and Mother Li were so anxious. What should she say?

Li Jingran did not make things difficult for the girl. He said calmly, “I don’t want to get married yet. As for the matter of giving birth, there’s no hurry.”

“What are you messing around for?!”

Father Li was no longer calm. “How can marriage be delayed? I don’t care. Either you get married as soon as possible, or you marry someone else.”

Li Jingran’s expression turned cold. Seeing that the father and son were about to quarrel again, Mother Li had no choice but to persuade them.

“Jingran, your father is right. You’re not young anymore. Since you like Little Xu so much, wouldn’t it be better to marry her earlier?”

Mother Li could tell that her son must really like Xu Wanwan.

If a man has really fallen in love with a woman, he would want to marry her and treat her well.

Li Jingran kept putting it off, presumably for Xu Wanwan’s sake. After all, there was a big age difference between them.

Mother Li walked to Xu Wanwan’s side and held her hand with a smile. “Little Xu, we’re both straightforward people. Since we’ve agreed that you’re together with Jingran, it means that we’ve acknowledged you from the bottom of our hearts.”

“Anyway, you’re going to be our Li family’s daughter-in-law sooner or later. Why Don’t you marry Jingran earlier and give birth to a fat boy for us? That would be great.”

Xu Wanwan’s face turned slightly red and she looked troubled. “Auntie...”

This... what should she say?

“Little Xu, as you’ve seen, Jingran is still very capable. The Li family isn’t short of money, so Auntie hopes that you can stay at home and take care of your husband and children in peace. In the future, you won’t have to expose yourself to the public and suffer.”

Xu Wanwan frowned slightly. Although she respected Mother Li, she did not agree with this point of view.

“Auntie, I’m very serious about this relationship, but I haven’t graduated yet. I don’t want to get married so early.”
