Chapter 34: 34

After all, she had been causing trouble for him. What if he got angry and left her here?

Xu Yue could see that Xu Wanwan was in a bad mood, and her mood turned better. She said to the bodyguards, “Bring her to the basement.”

Seeing the black-clad bodyguards surrounding her again, Xu Wanwan bit her lips and endured her emotions as she walked toward the basement.

The basement was originally a place for storing miscellaneous items. Even the servants would not stay here.

Xu Yue was obviously doing this to get back at her.

Xu Wanwan let out a soft sigh.

Forget it, she would just endure it for now.

If Li Jingran really did not come to pick her up, she would have no choice but to think of a way to escape.

The basement was dark and damp. There was nothing in the cramped little room but piles of miscellaneous items.

Xu Wanwan frowned slightly and looked at the bodyguards behind her. “There’s not even a bed here. Where am I supposed to sleep?”

The bodyguards did not answer her question and pushed her in rudely. “Cut the crap. If I told you to stay here, you’d better stay put.”

Xu Wanwan’s back was pushed hard, and she stumbled into the room.

The door was closed, and the small room turned even darker. There was not a single ray of light.

Xu Wanwan pushed aside the debris and found a small corner. She curled up into a ball.

She was afraid of the dark and was even more afraid of this oppressive feeling.

After an unknown amount of time, she listened to her own heartbeat and only felt that her breathing was not smooth. Her body could not help but tremble.

The sky was gradually darkening. The darkness enveloped her, and even a trace of shadow had disappeared.

Xu Wanwan clenched her hands tightly and could only rely on the weak heat of her palms, reminding herself over and over to calm down.

A mouse appeared from a corner, squeaking and nibbling on the sundries in the room.

Xu Wanwan screamed and leaned against the corner of the wall. She was so scared that tears were flowing out of her eyes.

The sound of the mouse crawling on the ground was very low, but it was very close to her…

She didn’t dare to move, and her body couldn’t help but tremble…

Li Jingran, will you save me or not?

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. She supported her body and didn’t dare to fall down, keeping herself awake.

In the latter part of the night, the door was opened, and a strong beam of light shone directly into her eyes.

It was still the same bodyguards clad in black, but they were holding a few buckets in their hands.

She seemed to have seen the last glimmer of hope as she stood up and walked toward them. “Let me out quickly, I need to go to the toilet.”

The bodyguards had a cold expression on their faces and ignored her word as they raised their hands and poured a bucket of water on Xu Wanwan’s body.

A chill seeped into her skin. Xu Wanwan was drenched and fell backward…

Before she could react, another bucket of water was poured on her.

Her clothes were already soaked. The chill ran through her skin and seeped into her body. She hugged her body tightly, but she could not feel any trace of warmth.

Cold… it was really cold.

After doing all this, the bodyguards finally left.

However, Xu Wanwan could not fall asleep no matter how hard she tried. The cold and fear enveloped her, and every part of her body was in pain.

She really wanted to cry. She really wanted to return to Li Jingran’s side.

This place was not good at all. It would only bring her misfortune.

However, Li Jingran was able to protect her very well. Without him, there was really nothing she could do.

Xu Wanwan hugged her trembling body. She had been hoping that Li Jingran would come and pick her up.

She did not know how she had spent that night.

Her body became weaker and weaker. After the extreme cold, her entire body began to burn up. She could not bear it anymore and finally fainted.

The next morning, Xu Yue was in a cheerful mood as she ate at the dining hall. She didn’t forget to say to Xu Zhongyi hypocritically, “Father, I think Sister should have thought about it. Shall we call her over for dinner?”

“Hmph, if we don’t teach her a lesson, she won’t learn,” Xu Zhongyi said furiously. “Just let her starve for a few meals. When she comes to her senses, she will come out and beg us.”

Sun Yuelan didn’t feel any pain either. “It’s just a meal. What’s the big deal?”

“Sir, Madam, something bad has happened!”

Xu Zhongyi put down his utensils unhurriedly and looked at the Butler who was in a hurry. He said unhappily, “Why are you shouting so early in the morning?”

The old butler of the Xu family said hurriedly, “Sir, Li Jingran has brought a lot of people to block the door. He’s here to ask for her.”

“Ask for her?” Xu Zhongyi narrowed his eyes and snorted. “Xu Wanwan’s surname is still Xu. She was born to us. Since when did it become his turn to speak?”

“I think he came at the right time. If he wants to find Xu Wanwan, he has to resume his cooperation with the Xu family,” Sun Yuelan said.

Xu Zhongyi nodded. “Open the door and let people in.”

Xu Yue gripped her knife and fork tightly as hatred surged in her eyes.

Li Jingran had really come to find Xu Wanwan!

Why?

Why was that country bumpkin of hers taken to heart?

The Xu family’s door opened, and Li Jingran walked in with dozens of tall men in suits and leather shoes behind him.

Xu Zhongyi pretended to welcome him. When he saw him leading those men, he could not help but sweat. “Director Li, what are you doing?”

Li Jingran stopped in his tracks. The pressure around him was extremely low, and his eyes were cold and gloomy. “Where is Xu Wanwan?”

His imposing manner was so strong that even Xu Zhongyi lost his flow.

His lips trembled, and he forced himself to say, “Director Li, I wanted to ask you the same thing. Hasn’t my daughter always been in your Li Family? Why did you come to me to ask for her?”

“Xu Zhongyi, you dare to pretend for me?” Li Jingran’s face became even colder, and he exposed him mercilessly. “I advise you to hand her over immediately. Otherwise, in three minutes, I’ll make your Xu family’s stock plunge.”

“Are you threatening me?” Xu Zhongyi snorted and simply stopped pretending. “Let me tell you, Xu Wanwan is my biological daughter. Her surname is Xu. What right do you have to take her away?”

“Besides, if the Li family really treated her well, she wouldn’t have to come back after being wronged. Do I need an outsider like you to care about my daughter when she comes home?”

Li Jingran frowned and tried his best to suppress his anger. His mood was getting darker and darker.

However, Xu Zhongyi had no intention of stopping at all. When he thought about how the Xu family’s business had plummeted, he couldn’t help but get angry. “I’m saying this right now. If you want to take Xu Wanwan away, you have to immediately resume your cooperation with the Xu family.”

Li Jingran was not flustered at all. His thin lips curled into a mocking smile. “Very well. I’ll show you what a real threat is today.”

“Since you’ve admitted that Xu Wanwan is your biological child, then you have to bear the responsibility of having born her without raising her. You have to take the blame for abandoning her and abusing her.”

“Director Li, you’re purely slandering us.” Sun Yuelan was so angry that she started to argue with him, “What happened in the past was clearly an accident. What does it have to do with us? Besides, she likes to work, and we didn’t force her to do it. How can she be abused?”

“You don’t have to tell me these things. You can explain it to the judge.” Li Jingran seemed to have a firm grasp on their attitude, and his manner of speaking was chilling.. “I have enough evidence here to take you to court.”
