To pluck Shi Wang, the aloof flower of the legal world, Jiang Wannuan relentlessly pursued him for three years.
Hearing he liked gentle and virtuous girls, she was willing to hide her identit...
Chapter 13 Decided not to pretend
Xu Moli moved quickly.
She seemed to have made up her mind. Before Shi Wang and Jiang Wanning could react, she rushed downstairs dragging her suitcase.
"Jasmine!"
Shi Wang wanted to catch up and stop her, but she easily walked past him and walked to the stairs instead.
"Shi Wang, please stop caring about me and stop hurting Sister Wan Ning's heart."
In the dim corridor, the voice-activated sensor light flickered depending on the movement here.
Jiang Wanning clearly saw Xu Moli's tearful eyes, and she was confused for a moment when she looked at her.
But when she came to her senses and tried to stop him, Xu Moli had already missed a step on the stairs and rolled down uncontrollably.
In a moment that Shi Wang didn't see, she gave Jiang Wanning a provocative look.
Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang!", which made the entire corridor as bright as day.
Jiang Wanning remained frozen in place until the ambulance siren sounded downstairs, watching Shi Wang carry Xu Moli, whose face was filled with pain, downstairs.
"Fortunately, no one is seriously hurt."
When Jiang Wanning rushed to the hospital in a daze following the ambulance, Shi Wang had already sent Xu Moli to the emergency room and was sitting on a chair in the hospital corridor with a dejected look on his face.
"But given Jasmine's current condition, the doctor said she needs someone to accompany her and take care of her. I plan to bring my mother here to take care of her for a while."
Jiang Wanning listened silently, and saw Shi Wang suddenly look up and meet her gaze.
"Wan Ning, Jasmine is actually a very good girl. She doesn't have any bad intentions."
Xu Moli has no bad intentions, but does Jiang Wanning have any?
Did she get the jade bracelet her grandmother left her by running to Xu Moli's lounge?
Jiang Wanning took a deep breath and heard Shi Wang's final question in a low voice: "Can you really not tolerate her?"
It was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
At that moment, Jiang Wanning saw the other person's extremely painful eyes, but her heart was calm.
It turns out that when you are extremely disappointed in someone, there will be no emotional fluctuations.
At this point, she couldn't help but smile, thinking that it was time to end this farce.
"Why do you miss me so much? Shi Wang."
"Since Auntie wants to live here, I might as well move out for a while."
When Shi Wang heard Jiang Wanning's answer, he was obviously stunned for a moment, but soon heaved a sigh of relief.
"That's a good thing. My mom has a bad temper and it won't cause you any more unpleasantness."
As he spoke, he handed Jiang Wanning the key to another apartment.
"This is the apartment I bought in the West District some time ago. It's a bit far from here, but you can move in and find peace and quiet."
Jiang Wanning lowered her head in silence and squeezed the key in her hand.
The west side of the city, the apartment they live in now is in the east side of the city, almost separated from the entire Shenzhen city.
Moreover, as Shi Wang's girlfriend, she had no idea when he had bought another apartment without her knowledge.
I didn't expect that when I asked to leave, Shi Wang would agree so readily.
"Okay, Auntie, come over early tomorrow morning. I'll go back and pack my things first."
Jiang Wanning was calmly preparing to leave.
Unexpectedly, Shi Wang suddenly called her from behind: "Wan Ning."
He looked at Jiang Wanning with a dark look in his eyes, as if the other party had returned to the understanding person he had known before, but it also made him feel inexplicably uneasy.
"You won't blame me, will you?"
Jiang Wanning clenched the key in her hand, feeling the teeth marks on it digging deep into her palm.
The intense pain made her smile calmly: "Of course not."
I will never blame him again.
"Very good."
This time, Shi Wang really relaxed his frown: "I knew you, Wan Ning, were the most considerate."
The man was glad that Jiang Wanning seemed to have really turned back into the well-behaved girl she was when they first met, and felt that his previous anxiety was all unnecessary worry, but he ignored the fleeting sarcasm in the latter's eyes.
"Sister Jasmine should be coming out soon. If there's nothing else going on here, I'll go outside and get some fresh air."
Jiang Wanning finally avoided Shi Wang who was still trying to hold her hand, and turned to leave the hospital.
She stared at the bright moonlight outside, then lowered her head and threw the key that Shi Wang left for her into the trash can on the side of the road.
Jiang Wanning booked a reasonably priced hotel nearby and prepared to spend the night there. At the same time, she called Su Xu.
After learning the whole story, the best friend on the other end of the phone gnashed her teeth and cheered at the same time.
"This Xu Moli is such a scheming idiot! I think she should change her name. Stop calling herself Moli and call herself Xu Bailian to be more worthy of what she has done!"
"And this Shi Wang, I really misjudged him! As a lawyer, he's so bad at judging people. I don't know how he works as a lawyer!"
“…”
Su Xu was a carefree person who never hid anything. After attacking everyone equally, he finally remembered the important matter.
"By the way, Ningning, do you have somewhere to go so late? If not, come to my place..."
As she spoke, a strange male voice seemed to be faintly heard from the other end of the phone, and then it quickly stopped.
One can’t help but imagine what kind of beautiful scene is happening on the other end of the phone in the night.
Jiang Wanning couldn't help but shook her head: "Don't bother you, I've already booked a hotel nearby."
"I'm calling you so late, firstly to reassure you, and secondly because I really have something to trouble you with."
"We're sisters, so let's not talk behind each other's backs. If you need my help with anything, just tell me!"
"I'm not planning on going back to Shi Wang. Things haven't been going well with my parents these past few years. I still have more than ten days before I leave, so I'd like you to help me find a suitable house in Shenzhen where I can stay for a while."
"Oh! These are all small matters, leave it to me, my sister!"
After receiving Su Xu's affirmative answer, Jiang Wanning arrived at the hotel that had been booked in advance.
Under the cover of night, while she hesitated to send a farewell letter to Shi Wang, she dialed another person's number in front of the dressing table in her room.
Even though it was late at night, the call was quickly connected, and what was heard was the chaotic noise of the bar and the excited cry of a young man.
"Big Sister! What made you think of calling me?"
"Lin Xiao, I remember you helped me sell an apartment at a low price in Shenzhen before?"
"Yes, that's what happened."
Jiang Wanning took off her thick black-framed glasses in front of the dressing table, and casually lifted the bangs that covered most of her face, revealing a face that was completely different from the little white rabbit of the past.
"I want you to take the ownership of the house back from that person. Can you do it?"
The person in the mirror's raised eyebrows are like a black rose blooming dangerously in the night.
At this moment, Jiang Wanning finally decided to stop pretending.
