“It’s just that he happens to be away today for a collaboration meeting. Otherwise, he would have definitely come here in person,” Song Qingchen said. “You have no idea how anxious he was when he called me just now.”
“To be honest, I’ve been friends with him for so long, but I’ve never seen him so worried about someone.”
The more Xu Wanwan heard, the more she felt that it was unreal.
She couldn’t be that important to Li Jingran, right…
“That’s enough worrying about what happens next. I’ll follow the procedures and follow the law.”
Xu Wanwan nodded. “Okay, thank you.”
After waiting outside for a while, Mother Liu helped Liu Ru to walk from the examination room.
The doctor in a white coat came over with an examination report. He nodded at Song Qingchen and said, “I’ve checked everything according to your request. There’s no problem.”
Liu Ru still clutched her stomach and said unwillingly, “But, my stomach has been hurting. What’s going on?”
Mother Liu also became nervous. “That’s right. If there’s nothing wrong with her body, why does she have a stomachache?”
“Maybe it’s because you have connections to the hospital and are playing favorites!”
The doctor could not help but look at the report and sighed. “Miss, your stomachache is because your period is here. It’s normal.”
“But if the pain is unbearable, I suggest you stay in the hospital for treatment.”
Liu Ru’s face instantly turned red. She lowered her head and did not say anything else.
Mother Liu: “This…”
Song Qingchen took pictures of the report as evidence and said in a business-like manner, “Talk to my lawyer about other matters.”
Mother Liu saw that he was serious and immediately changed her attitude. “Sir, you see, we are all in this mess because of the children. Since the two children are safe and sound, let’s forget about this matter, okay?”
Song Qingchen’s expression was slightly cold, having no intention to compromise.
Mother Liu observed his expression and took out a business card from her bag. “If you need the Liu Corporation in the future, just let me know.”
“No need. Do what you have to do,” Song Qingchen said coldly without taking the business card.
After being rejected, Mother Liu could not hold back her expression. She glared at Xu Wanwan fiercely and left with Liu Ru.
Song Qingchen turned to look at Xu Wanwan. “I’ll follow up on these matters later. For now, I’ll send you home first.”
“Okay.” Xu Wanwan got up obediently.
After getting into the car, Song Qingchen could not help but exclaim, “I never thought that Li Jingran would like a girl like you.”
Xu Wanwan looked out of the window and clenched her fists. “Me?”
“You know he likes you, right?” Song Qingchen could not help but chuckle when he saw the confused look on the girl’s face.
Xu Wanwan frowned and explained seriously, “Doctor Song, you misunderstood. I’m not in that kind of relationship with Mr. Li.”
“I understand that the young lady is shy.”
“It really isn’t…”
Xu Wanwan explained the whole way home, but she still failed to convince Song Qingchen.
The car stopped at the Li family’s entrance, and she did not have time to explain anymore. After saying her thanks, she walked into the house.
When she returned to her room, she collapsed on the bed, exhausted.
It had been a tiring day, and she had not completed any of the tasks that she had planned.
No, she could not continue to waste her time like this.
No matter what, she had to read some books.
With this thought in mind, Xu Wanwan kicked off her shoes and took out a book from the table. Just as she was turning to the first page, her phone suddenly rang.
She turned on her phone and was stunned for a long time when she saw the caller ID displayed on the pop-up window.
Li Jingran was actually calling her on a video call?
She thought he had accidentally dialed the wrong number, but even after waiting for a long time, he did not hang up.
Xu Wanwan took a light breath and instantly sat down in a behaved manner. She reached out a finger and pressed the answer button, smiling slightly at the phone screen.
On the other side of the screen, Li Jingran was holding a glass of wine in his hand and looking at the smiling girl on the screen. His thin lips curved slightly. “Were you bullied today?”
“No.” Xu Wanwan quickly shook her head. “I just had an argument with my classmate, but it was resolved later.”
“By the way, it’s all thanks to your friend’s help. Otherwise, I really don’t know what to do.”
Li Jingran looked at the girl who was talking on the screen, and his tensed emotions gradually relaxed. “Okay.”
The man’s attitude was a little cold, and Xu Wanwan didn’t know how to please him.
She propped up her chin and looked at the man on the screen as she asked tentatively, “Is your work going well? Are you going home soon?”
“Miss Xu, are you so eager for me to come home?”Li Jingran chuckled and deliberately teased her.
Xu Wanwan was a little embarrassed by his stare. She lowered her eyes and said, “I just don’t feel comfortable staying outside.”
As she said that, she suddenly thought of a good reason. “When you come back, I can continue to cook for you.”
A hint of gentleness appeared in Li Jingran’s eyes. “If nothing unexpected happens, I’ll be back tomorrow.”
“Then I’ll come back early after school tomorrow.” Xu Wanwan had a hint of excitement in her tone. “I’ve recently learned some new cuisines. I’ll cook for you tomorrow and wait for you to come back.”
Li Jingran said gently, “Okay.”
——
In the study room of the school, Lin Jianan exclaimed, “Wan Wan, are you saying that Liu Ru framed you and pushed her yesterday and got you to go to the police station?”
Xu Wanwan flipped through a book and answered in a low voice, “Well, it’s true that these things did happen yesterday.”
Lin Jianan clicked her tongue. “Tsk tsk. I mean, why is Liu Ru looking at us strangely today?”
“I didn’t expect her to be this kind of person behind her back even though she usually looks obedient and docile. The most outrageous thing is that she actually dared to frame you.”
Xu Wanwan was tired from studying and yawned. “Fortunately, the matter has been resolved. It’s not a big problem.”
“You really can’t judge a book by its cover. It seems like we’ll have to avoid her in the future.” Lin Jianan summed up a set of reasoning. “Also, I think Li Xuyi is also very detestable. Why should he believe Liu Ru’s words?”
Xu Wanwan tilted her head and thought for a moment. “Maybe he likes her.”
“But that’s true. A playboy like Li Xuyi likes to hook up with good-looking people.”
After Lin Jianan said that, she looked at Xu Wanwan carefully and immediately denied it. “That shouldn’t be… you’re obviously much better looking than Liu Ru.”
“Many boys in the class regard you as their goddess. Li Xuyi is also a normal boy. Could it be that he has a problem with his aesthetic judgment?”
Xu Wanwan was too lazy to think about these questions. She packed her bag and reminded her, “It’s almost time for class. Let’s go back to the classroom first.”
Lin Jianan stood up and left as well. As they walked, she said, “Wanwan, if Li Xuyi bullies you again in the future, you must tell me.”
“I don’t have any grudges with him. He won’t bully me.”
“That might not be the case.”
The two of them spoke as they walked toward the classroom.
At the same time, the pressure in the classroom had reached its peak.
Li Xuyi propped himself up on one leg by the table. He lowered his gaze and stared at the messy books on the floor.. His expression was dark and terrifying.
