Xu Wan was dressed very formally at this moment, and indeed looked like she had just returned from a business trip.
There was a few seconds of silence between the two of them before Xu Wan spoke first: "Mr. Ryan, I know you did something behind the scenes regarding Qi Zihao's parents, which is why the Qi family bowed down so quickly. On Friday, Qi Zihao and his mother publicly apologized to me and Xiaoxiao at the kindergarten. I think this matter should end here."
After a long silence, the man finally said, "You don't want me to do these things?"
The car was shrouded in shadow. Xu Wan looked at the man inside and said, "You've been gone for too long. Many things have changed. I'm no longer the little girl who desperately went on blind dates to find someone to marry because my uncle wanted to accept a bride price. My career is thriving, and I can handle most things on my own. At least I can handle things like the Qi family's situation myself."
Xu Wan has grown so much over the years.
As a single mother, she had to grow up quickly to become capable of protecting her daughter.
Looking back on what she did back then, if she could do it all over again, she would still attend industry matchmaking parties, but she wouldn't get married to a man after only meeting him a second time.
The two people were about a meter apart; one was standing by the roadside, and the other was sitting in a car.
Men in wheelchairs cannot get off the bus on their own, and women have to bend over to get on.
Just like the relationship between two people.
Xu Wan had already bowed her head and been rejected once; she refused to be the one to take the initiative again.
Xu Wan glanced at the time and said, "It's getting late. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I'll go upstairs and rest first."
The man remained silent for a long time before finally uttering an "Mmm".
Despite having many problems between them, they ultimately fell silent after that "hmm".

When Xu Wan entered the room, only the light in the entryway was on.
At this time, Xu Pingrong and Xiaoxiao would have already gone to sleep.
Xu Wan changed into slippers and tiptoed into Xiao Xiao's bedroom.
Xiaoxiao is young and needs a lot of sleep every day. Xu Wan has been very busy with work in the past two years, so most of the time, Xiaoxiao is already asleep when she gets home.
After entering her daughter's room, Xu Wan slowed her pace to the bedside. Just as she sat on the edge of the bed, her sleeping daughter seemed to sense something, turned over, and mumbled in her sleepy little voice, "Mommy..."
"Yes, Mommy's back."
Xu Wan agreed with her daughter, took her daughter's little arm that was sticking out of the blanket, and was about to help her pull it back under the blanket when...
It was discovered that Xiaoxiao's arm temperature was abnormally high.
Xu Wan quickly reached out and touched her daughter's forehead; it was hot enough to burn her.
Xiao Xiao wasn't very healthy when she was little. By the time she was three and a half, Xu Wan couldn't remember how many times she had been to the hospital. All the pediatricians at Shenghe Hospital knew her.
Xu Wan quickly got up, went to the first-aid kit in the living room to get an ice pack and a thermometer, and then immediately returned to Xiao Xiao's bedroom.
She first took her daughter's temperature with her own body temperature, and after glancing at the 38.6 degrees Celsius displayed on the instrument, she quickly put an ice pack on Xiaoxiao's forehead.
Xiao Xiao, who was still asleep a second ago, frowned and slightly opened her eyes. After seeing Xu Wan, her first words were: "Mommy, I'm cold."
Xu Wan tucked the blanket around her daughter again and said with heartache, "Baby, you have a fever. Let Mommy dress you now and take you to the hospital, okay?"
Xiaoxiao was very sleepy, but she still nodded obediently.
As Xu Wan was helping Xiao Xiao put on her clothes, her cell phone rang in her pocket.
She took out her phone and glanced at it; it was Gu Qing calling.
She then remembered that the man had texted her to check if she had arrived home, but she had run into Jiang Tingzhou at the same time, which made her forget to reply to the message.
It's obvious why Gu Qing called that night.
Xu Wan answered the phone, holding it between her shoulder and ear. While helping Xiao Xiao get dressed, she said, "Gu Qing, I'm home. Xiao Xiao is sick, so I won't talk to you anymore."
"Xiaoxiao is sick? I'll drive over and we can take her to the hospital together."
Gu Qing's tone also revealed his worry.
Xu Wan quickly refused, "No need, I can get there by taxi myself."
-
When Xu Wan brought Xiao Xiao to the hospital, it was almost midnight.
Just as she got out of the car and was about to bend down to help Xiaoxiao out, someone patted her on the shoulder.
Gu Qing stood behind her and said, "Let me carry her, that way it will be easier for you to complete the formalities."
