Chapter 5: He Really Likes It

In the hospital, Xu Yan was treated and bandaged by the doctor, but she was told that it would leave a scar.

She made a scene on the spot and threatened to kill Xu Lan.

The next day, Li Meixiang rushed into Xu Lan’s room. The room was so neat and tidy, it did not look like she had lived there before. When she went downstairs to ask, she found out that she had gone out with her luggage.

Li Meixiang had no choice but to argue with Father Xu, saying that he was biased towards Xu Lan and did not care about Xu Yan.

Father Xu, who was in a meeting at the office, had no choice but to quickly end the meeting and call Xu Lan.

At that time, she was in her rented apartment, checking on all business dealings of the Xu Family.

After telling him the address, Father Xu knocked on her door half an hour later.

The resentment in Xu Lan’s heart had already faded. The moment she opened the door, her heart softened when she saw her father with wrinkles all over his temples.

“Why are you looking for me?”

She turned around and entered with a cold attitude.

Father Xu hesitated outside the door for a moment before entering the house. After looking around, he looked at Xu Lan sitting on the sofa.

“Go home and stay. This place is simple after all, and no one is taking care of you.”

“I’m not a delicate lady like Xu Yan. It’s my freedom to live anywhere.”

Xu Lan was very disdainful.

Father Xu sighed helplessly.

“Yan’er’s was spoiled by her mother and I, so she’s very stubborn. Don’t take it to heart.”

Xu Lan sneered. “I want to know what kind of parents can raise such a dark and vicious daughter? She vented her anger on me when her fiancé was gone. Do I owe her?”

She stood up from the sofa angrily and glared straight at Father Xu. His shoulders drooped and he did not dare to look at her.

After a long while, he sighed heavily. “There’s no point in saying more. Back then, after your mother passed away, the Xu Family’s business went downhill. I had no choice but to marry Meixiang.”

“How come Xu Yan is only a few months younger than me?”

As soon as she said this, Father Xu was speechless.

He had cheated on his wife while she was pregnant, causing her to bleed during labor. Having done her best to protect the fetus, she had ended up sacrificing himself.

“Lan’er, it doesn’t matter if you hate me or resent me. Your mother is no longer around, so why can’t we live well? The reason I brought you back this time isn’t just to meet with the Yan Family on your sister’s behalf, but also because I want to make it up to you. The conditions in the countryside are poor after all, and Aunt He Ying is getting on in years. You still need to study, and you need better conditions.”

His words were not without reason, but Xu Lan still had some reservations when she thought about the mother and daughter pair. Putting aside the fact that she had been framed for no reason, she knew they would be creating trouble for her on purpose.

After some deliberation, she still followed Father Xu back to the Xu Family home.

She enrolled in school and continued to finish high school.

When Li Meixiang found out about Father Xu’s actions, she surprisingly did not stop him. However, Xu Lan knew that the pair of mother and daughter had a grudge against her.

Not long after, Xu Yan was discharged from the hospital to consult a plastic surgeon. She wanted to repair the scar on her forehead, but she was told that it was a little difficult, so she could only slowly nurse it.

In order not to face them every day, Xu Lan moved to the dormitory.

As the weather had turned cold, she went back to the Xu Family’s house to get her winter coat. From afar, she saw a black car parked outside the villa. A man was leaning against the front door of the car, smoking a cigarette.

When she got closer, the man slowly turned his head. The green smoke covered his face, making it difficult to see clearly.

“Xu Lan.”

Xu Lan stopped in her tracks immediately.

Yan Si!

The smoke dissipated, revealing a cold and charming face.

He stubbed out his cigarette and got up to approach her.

Xu Lan stepped back subconsciously, her panic obvious to the man.

“I didn’t come here today to ask you for that thing.”

Rather than getting engaged to other women he was not familiar with, he might as well get engaged to this little girl. After all, he did not hate her and was even a little interested in her.

After his parents requested him to meet a few socialites from Li City, he had set his sights on Xu Lan.

Thinking back to that day when his skin was touching hers and that plump figure of hers, he still felt a little unsatisfied. Her clumsy kissing skills made it clear that she was a young and inexperienced girl.

He really liked it!

“Then why are you looking for me?”

Xu Lan looked at him and raised her eyebrows slightly. There was a hint of resistance toward him.

Yan Si smirked and looked away, smiling wickedly.

“To marry you.”
