Chapter 185: We’re back together

Xu Wanwan checked her attire in the mirror as she answered on her phone, “It’s still the same as before.”

“It can’t be, right? Didn’t Big Boss Li do anything to you when he picked you up that night?” Lin Jianan’s surprised voice came from the other end of the phone.

Xu Wanwan’s face turned slightly red, but she denied, “No, you’re overthinking it…”

“Then did he say anything to you? Did you guys reconcile?”

After Lin Jianan finished asking, she couldn’t help but say, “I still remember how Big Boss Li came to pick you up that night. He might be a little angry.”

Ever since Xu Wanwan was picked up, Lin Jianan had been worried that her best friend would be wronged.

What if Big Boss Li got angry at Wanwan?

After all, the way he acted that night was really scary.

“Jianan, you don’t have to worry. Li Jingran and I—”

Xu Wanwan paused for a moment before saying in a low voice, “We’re back together.”

“Really?”

Lin Jianan’s voice was filled with joy. “It’s good that we’re back together! You don’t know that Director Li was really angry that day. I was scared when I saw it from the side. I was especially afraid that you would be implicated.”

“But I knew that Big Boss Li has you in his heart. It’s only been two days, and you two are back together.”

Upon learning that Xu Wanwan and Li Jingran had gotten back together, Lin Jianan was genuinely happy. She also hoped that her best friend could find her own happiness.

“Wanwan, it’s such a happy occasion. Why don’t we celebrate today? My family has opened a new restaurant, and it’s super delicious!”

Xu Wanwan looked at the time and said as she went downstairs, “I’m going back to the old residence with Jingran today. Let’s meet again next time.”

“Back to the old residence? Then won’t you be meeting Big Boss Li’s parents?”

Xu Wanwan said in a muffled voice, “Yeah, I’m still very nervous.”

Lin Jianan said, “Let’s not be afraid! Anyway, with Big Boss Li protecting you, it’s not a big deal even if you meet his parents.”

“Okay! I’ll tell you when I’m back.”

Xu Wanwan hurriedly hung up the phone and went downstairs to find Li Jingran. She finally mustered up her courage and said, “I’m ready. Let’s go!”

The girl in front of him looked nervous, like a frightened little rabbit.

Li Jingran’s expression softened a little. He held her hand without batting an eye and said, “Let’s go.”

When the two of them arrived at the Li residence, it was just before lunch time.

At this time, the Li residence was still quite lively. Father Li was chatting with his good friend whom he had not seen for many years, and his hearty laughter burst out outside the residence.

“Nanshan, you, ah, you haven’t changed after so many years!”

“You still talking about me? You have been as stubborn as before all these years.”

Walking outside the hall, Xu Wanwan heard this familiar voice. She was startled and looked up at Li Jingran in confusion.

“This… sounds like my Master’s voice?”

Why was master here?

Just as she was puzzled, Mother Li’s eager voice came from inside the house—

“Jingran is back?”

When Mother Li said this, her gaze naturally ignored Xu Wanwan.

Li Jingran nodded lightly and pulled the girl beside him into the house.

Xu Wanwan looked around the house and really found that her Master was there.

She calmed herself down and smiled at her parents. “Hello, Uncle and Auntie.”

Then, she looked at Master Nanshan and greeted him politely, “Hello, Master!”

Master Nanshan was also stunned.

“Why are you guys here?”

Father Li laughed a few times and stood up to point at Li Jingran. “Old friend, tell me, you’ve lived in seclusion all these years and have never seen my son, right?”

“That brat standing there is my eldest son, Li Jingran!”

After Father Li finished speaking, he directly swept past Xu Wanwan and started to show off to Master Nanshan. “It’s not a big deal that you don’t know my son, but you must have heard of the Li Corporation, right? Now, the entire Li Corporation belongs to him. Isn’t that amazing?”

Master Nanshan nodded perfunctorily. “To be honest, we’ve met before.”

“What?”

Father Li looked at Li Jingran in confusion, then at Master Nanshan. “Are you lying to me again?”

“You haven’t paid attention to the affairs of the outside world these years. You hardly ever come out to meet people. How could you have met my son?”

Master Nanshan looked at Father Li with a serious expression. “The girl standing next to your son is the last disciple I told you about.”

“What?”

This time, not only Father Li was surprised, even Mother Li could not help but be shocked.

“Nanshan, are you kidding me? Your standards for accepting disciples are so low now?” Father Li could not help but ask.

When Master Nanshan heard him say that his disciple was not good, he said unhappily, “What are you talking about? Little Xu is the disciple I have recognized, how could there be a mistake?”

“Didn’t you guys hear? Just now, the little girl called me Master.”

Father Li’s expression was extremely stiff.

Just now, he had heard from Nanshan that he had taken in a new disciple and had been praising her for a long time. Those who did not understand would have thought that Xu Wanwan was his biological daughter.

But who would have thought that the person he had praised for so long was actually Xu Wanwan?

This was really a coincidence.

Mother Li smiled and tried to smooth things over. “I really didn’t think that the girl that our Jingran adopted was actually your disciple.”

“Don’t just stand there, quickly come in and take a seat.”

After Xu Wanwan took her seat, she let out a soft sigh.

Fortunately, her Master was also here, so Father Li and Mother Li’s attention could be kept away from her.

Master Nanshan leisurely sipped his tea and turned to look at Xu Wanwan. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. “Old Li, it’s not that I want to brag to you, but this disciple of mine is very talented. She might very well succeed me in the future.”

After hearing Master Nanshan’s words, Father Li looked at Xu Wanwan differently.

He cleared his throat. “Really? I didn’t know that she had this ability.”

“What do you business people know? Little Xu is very talented. When she finishes her apprenticeship in the future, she’ll be able to do well just by designing works for other people.”

“What are you talking about? Don’t you artists have to rely on our business people to make money?”

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, Mother Li said with a headache, “You two are really too much. We haven’t seen each other for decades, and you just bicker every time we meet.”

“Forget it, I won’t lower myself to your level.” Master Nanshan waved his hand. “However, if you don’t treat my disciple well, I’ll have to be angry with you.”

Father Li’s face darkened. “Is our old Li family an unreasonable kind of people? When did you see me not treating her well?”

“You’ve misunderstood our old Li. Jingran likes this girl and insisted on keeping her in the Li family. We turned a blind eye to it,” Mother Li said. “However, we have our own principles.”

“It’s not a big deal to let this girl stay in the Li family, but the two of them can’t be together. After all, our family’s Jingran will have to marry someone of equal status in the future.”
