Chapter 54: Chapter 54: He Is Not a Good Person

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Li Jingran said calmly, “There’s no need. I’m lucky that he didn’t cause me any trouble.”

He knew Li Xuyi’s personality the best. He would disregard his feelings and would only do things based on a whim. He was not reliable at all.

Li Jingran turned the watch on his wrist and looked at the time on the pointer. He asked, “Shouldn’t Xu Wanwan be out of school by now?”

The Butler understood. “Please wait a moment, I’ll call Miss Xu over now.”

Xu Wanwan was standing outside the tearoom, so she sheepishly left when she heard the Butler’s footsteps.

She really didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but she had never heard Li Jingran talk about her little brother. She was a little curious, which is why she stood at the door and stopped for a while.

“Miss Xu, I didn’t expect you to be here. Director Li is looking for you.” The Butler saw Xu Wanwan as soon as he walked out of the tearoom and quickly followed her.

Xu Wanwan pretended to know nothing and turned around. “Is Mr. Li Looking for me?”

“Yes, Director Li is waiting for you in the tearoom,” said the Butler, then showed Xu Wanwan the way.

Xu Wanwan nodded. “Okay, I’ll come as soon as I’ve put my bag away.”

She went back to her room and put her things away before going to the tearoom.

Li Jingran’s tea room was tastefully decorated. The arched door was not closed, but it was covered with lattice curtains.

Inside the room, the fragrance of tea lingered, with futon cushions placed on top of the bamboo mat and an emerald green chalcedony on the wood-stained table. The gurgling water was flowing.

The sound of water mixed with the mist made it seem like a fairyland on Earth.

The man’s side profile was hidden under the lingering fog, adding a sense of mystery.

Xu Wanwan walked toward him in small steps and knelt on the futon opposite him. She said softly, “You were looking for me?”

Li Jingran handed her a cup of tea and asked in a light voice, “How was school today?”

“Well, it was pretty good.” Xu Wanwan took the cup and took a sip. She could not help but frown.

Seeing her frown, Li Jingran immediately poured a cup of water and pushed it over. “Drink this.”

Xu Wanwan was not thirsty, but she drank a few mouthfuls symbolically, then put down the cup and looked at him seriously. “Actually, it was a little bad.”

“Huh?”

“I met a boy today. We argued for a while, and then he took my seat.”

Li Jingran frowned. “Who was bold enough?”

Xu Wanwan sounded a little probing. “That boy’s name seems to be Li Xuyi. I think he looks…”

Li Jingran became interested when he heard the name and raised an eyebrow. “He looks like me?”

“How did you know?” Xu Wanwan pretended to be surprised. “I really didn’t lie. He does look a little like you.”

“So he took your place. What did you do after?” Li Jingran did not answer her question. He wanted to know how Xu Wanwan dealt with Li Xuyi.

After all, his younger brother had always been unruly. He would not be swayed by force or persuasion. It was hard for ordinary people to deal with him.

Xu Wanwan blinked her eyes and recalled, “I didn’t do anything. He refused to go, so I could only bring a chair and sit with him.”

“But as soon as I sat down, he got up and left, so I guess must be embarrassed.”

The corners of Li Jingran’s lips curled up slightly.

Interesting.

Xu Wanwan observed Li Jingran’s reaction. Seeing that he was not angry, she continued, “I didn’t dare argue with him because he made my friend cry. I was worried that he would bully me, too.”

“He doesn’t have the guts to do that yet.” Li Jingran leisurely sipped his tea. His tone was bland, but it carried a sense of authority.

“I’m just kidding.” Xu Wanwan smiled. “He definitely won’t bully me for no reason.”

Li Jingran chuckled. “He’s not a good person.”

“Ah?”

“Li Xuyi is my younger brother who studied abroad growing up. And because he is disobedient to discipline, he has been living outside,” Li Jingran explained patiently when he saw the girl’s curious face, “This time, I ordered someone to interfere with his wishes before he could go back studying abroad.”

“But I didn’t expect you to be in the same department as him.”

Xu Wanwan looked surprised. “Wow, what a coincidence!”

“No wonder you guys look so alike. I even told you there shouldn’t be someone as handsome as you in the world.”

In fact, Xu Wanwan had already guessed all of this, but she still pretended to be very surprised and fooled Li Jingran.

“Well, if he bullies you again, come back and tell me.”

Xu Wanwan hesitated for a while and said in a low voice, “Can I not disclose our relationship?”

Worried that Li Jingran would overthink, she quickly added, “I came from the Xu family after all. If he doesn’t like me…”

She thought that her idea would be rejected, but Li Jingran agreed immediately. “He doesn’t need to know about this.”

After all, Li Xuyi had refused to stay at home for so many years. He did not need to care about family matters. It was useless even if he knew.

When Xu Wanwan went to school the next day, it was already officially time for class. The people around her did not look at her curiously anymore, so it was quite relaxing.

During the break time, Lin Jianan was holding her phone and watching a video with great interest. She could not help but share it with Xu Wanwan. “Wanwan, look! Look!”

“The president of the Li Group is really too handsome! I thought he was an old man or something. I didn’t expect him to be an ascetic uncle.”

Hearing this familiar name, Xu Wanwan’s heart trembled. She looked at Lin Jianan’s phone.

At the product launch of the Li Group, Li Jingran was wearing a pure white shirt that was buttoned all the way up to his neck. The cuffs were slightly rolled up, revealing a soaring golden dragon. He was wearing a famous watch on his wrist, looking very noble.

He actually wore this shirt to attend such an important product launch.

Xu Wanwan’s eyes flashed, and she couldn’t help but take another look.

Li Jingran’s figure was really good. This shirt looked really suitable for him.

Lin Jianan sighed. “This CEO’s clothing is also great. The embroidery on this white shirt is simply too good. One look and you can tell that it’s the work of a top designer.”

“Why do I feel that this man is more and more interesting the more I look at him… I just can’t help myself!”

Xu Wanwan retracted her gaze and gently patted her arm. “Calm down, there are many good men in the world.”

“But there are really not many men like him who got power, money, a good figure, and good looks.” Lin Jianan looked regretful. “Other than being a little old, I really can’t find any flaws.”

Xu Wanwan couldn’t help but chuckle.

If Li Jingran knew that someone said he was old, he would probably be very angry, right?

Fortunately, Lin Jianan’s interest came and went quickly. A few minutes later, she was also engrossed by the looks of the other handsome men.

After a while, she watched the video of the food streamer again, complaining that she was hungry.

“Wanwan, there’s no class this time anyway. Why don’t we go to the campus supermarket to buy some snacks?”

Xu Wanwan closed her book. “I’m not hungry, but I can go with you.”

“Mm-hmm, I’ll treat you to coffee.”

The two of them walked arm in arm to the campus supermarket and pushed a small shopping cart together.

Lin Jianan wanted to take everything she saw, and their cart was soon filled with colorful snacks.

Xu Wanwan followed behind her. With a glance, she saw a familiar figure.

Li Xuyi was wearing black clothes and a black cap. He was holding the brim of his cap and looking for something on the shelf.

What was he sneaking around for in the supermarket?

Xu Wanwan suddenly remembered what the Butler said yesterday.

Li Xuyi’s bank card had been frozen. Could it be that he had no money to buy anything?
