Chapter 207: Brother 207 did not need to explain
After leaving the media company, Zhou Lin made another trip to the Li family’s old residence.
At this time, father and mother Li were still discussing the specifics of the wedding banquet. When they came to the point of disagreement, mother Li said hesitantly, “When our Li family plans a wedding banquet, we naturally have to pay attention to etiquette and rules.”
“It’s just that those people in Xu Wanwan’s family... I’m afraid they’ll make a fool of themselves at the wedding.”
Father Li’s attitude was very firm, “If it were up to me, I’d rather not invite them! They haven’t taken their own daughter seriously for so many years. Now that Little Xu is going to marry into our Li family, she’ll be a member of our Li family from now on. There’s no need for them to meddle in other people’s business.”
“That’s true, but we can’t do it this way.”
Mother li said thoughtfully, “There are a lot of people watching our Li family from the outside world. If someone catches us, won’t people talk about it?”
“Why do we care about our reputation?”Father Li said unhappily, “As long as little Xu and Li Jingran live happily, the rest is not something we should worry about.”
“When they get married, I will transfer the remaining shares of the Li Corporation to Little Xu’s name so that we can retire in peace.”
Zhou Lin walked to the door and heard father Li say this.
Her eyes turned cold, and the jealousy in her eyes grew crazily.
Heh, just based on that country bumpkin, what right did he have to get so many benefits?
All of this belonged to her, and she wanted to take it back thousands of times over!
Zhou Lin steadied her mind, entered the house, and walked toward the two elders. “Uncle and aunt!”
When the two elders heard this voice, their hearts sank, and they turned to look at Zhou Lin.
Mother Li’s attitude toward her was not as good as before. After all, she knew that she had a child overseas.
“It’s Xiao Lin,”mother Li still smiled and said, “Why are you looking for us?”
Everyone knew that Zhou Lin and Li Jingran had broken off their engagement.
However, the two families were still working together, so they could not lose face.
Zhou Lin walked up to mother Li with a smile and handed her a small box. “This is a piece of jewelry that I had someone custom-make overseas. It’s a small gift.”
Mother Li looked at her with a complicated expression. “Xiao Lin, we are very happy that you can come and visit us, but you can forget about the gift.”
“Auntie, if you want to blame someone, blame me for being too busy recently and not being able to visit you regularly. You must accept this gift,”Zhou Lin said as she stuffed the small box into mother Li’s hands.
“Uncle, I heard that you were collecting a famous painting, so I found it for you.”
She then handed the scroll in her hand to father Li, acting like a sensible and generous person.
If they didn’t know about the ridiculous things she had done overseas, father Li and mother Li would have been moved by her long ago.
Father Li cleared his throat. “Zhou Lin, take the painting back. Try to come to the Li family less in the future.”
“Uncle...”Zhou Lin immediately lowered her head and said aggrievedly, “Did I do something wrong?”
Father Li’s face darkened.
She looked at mother li again and whispered, “Auntie, what exactly happened?”
“Xiao Lin, since it has already happened, we won’t hide it anymore.”Mother Li sat upright on the chair. Her tone was calm but full of dignity, “I know you had a good relationship with our Jingran, and you two were engaged before.”
“But this is all in the past. you two broke off the engagement a long time ago. Moreover, Jingran is about to get married soon. I hope you can maintain a reasonable relationship with Jingran in the future, and don’t come to the Li family if there’s nothing else.”
Even though mother Li wasn’t very satisfied with Xu Wanwan before, she still had to make things clear in front of outsiders, so as to give her future daughter-in-law a sense of respect and security.
“Uncle, Auntie, I really don’t mean anything else... I just feel like I haven’t visited you guys in a long time.”Zhou Lin still had her head lowered. Her voice sounded weak and gentle, as if she had really been wronged.
Mother Li looked a little troubled and sighed lightly. “We already have a daughter-in-law now. It’s not appropriate for you to always come here.”
Even if Xu Wanwan didn’t say anything, they still had to separate the boundaries.
A wave of hatred rose in Zhou Lin’s heart. She pretended that nothing had happened and took out the photos that she had prepared from her bag.
“Uncle, Auntie, I know I did something wrong before. I shouldn’t have kept it from you. I apologize to you.”
“But I don’t want Li Jingran’s happiness to be lost to a fickle woman.”
Mother Li frowned. “What do you mean?”
Zhou Lin hurriedly handed over the photos in her bag. “Take a look at these.”
Mother Li took the photos with a puzzled look and looked at them carefully a few times.
After looking at them, her frown deepened.
Father Li sized up Zhou Lin slightly and took the photos with some distrust. After looking at them carefully, his expression was still very ugly.
Zhou Lin had achieved her goal. She smiled with satisfaction.
These photos were taken after she had sent people to follow Xu Wanwan for a long time.
In the photos, Xu Wanwan was alone with Li Xuyi. The two of them ate together, sat in the car together, and returned to the student dormitory together..
These photos were even professionally photoshopped, bringing the distance between the two of them closer, making it easy for people to misunderstand.
“Auntie, I actually didn’t want to show you these, it’s just...”she deliberately paused, “But you know, I have Jing ran in my heart, so I naturally don’t want to see him being deceived.”
“If Jing ran was with such a greedy person, I would feel sorry for him.”
After mother Li finished looking at the photos, although she was a little dissatisfied, she didn’t show it in public.
“I won’t trouble you to worry about that. Jingran isn’t a fool. He knows very well whether that girl is worth his efforts or not.”
Zhou Lin’s heart sank.
Did this mean that she wasn’t worth Li Jingran’s efforts?
Heh, how interesting.
She didn’t expect the Li family to have such a big business but such a small structure. They would rather find a country bumpkin who was vain and greedy for benefits than curry favor with her.
No matter how much Li Jingran cared about Xu Wanwan, that country bumpkin still could not bring him any benefits.
What was the use of keeping such a woman by his side?
“Auntie, don’t think too much. I said these words out of good intentions for Jingran.”
“But I still want to remind you that if you really want Xu Wanwan to be the daughter-in-law of the Li family, you have to consider it carefully.”
“Let’s not talk about her family background first. Just her relationship with Li Xuyi is very inappropriate.”
Zhou Lin analyzed word by word, “She clearly knows that she is Li Jingran’s person, but she is so close to Li Xuyi behind Jingran’s back. What is her motive?”
“If she really wants to grow old with Li Jingran, she wouldn’t be so close to Li Xuyi behind his back. To put it bluntly, she is a person who is greedy for benefits.”
