It's just self-deception.
When Sun Lan held the test results in her hand, she already knew that she couldn't hide it anymore.
She asked softly, with a hint of probing.
"Ruoruo, can Mommy talk to you alone?"
In a deserted corner, a long corridor is covered with muddy footprints.
Because of its openwork design, wind and rain constantly blow in from both sides.
Li Ruo clutched the hem of her clothes tightly with her small hands, her face showing a hint of surprise.
After much deliberation, Sun Lan finally played the family card.
"Ruoruo, as you know, although Rao Rao is usually domineering, she is not a bad person at heart. She was just spoiled by us, which is why she went astray. Today is a chance for her to start over."
Li Ruo wasn't stupid; she naturally understood what the other party meant.
"Mom, I know everything."
"What about today?"
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Upon hearing these words, Sun Lan's eyes lit up, and the heavy weight on her chest seemed to fall to the ground.
"Oh, Mommy knew you were so thoughtful."
She patted Li Ruo's hand affectionately, "That's how it should be. We're family, we should be in the same boat, right?"
Li Ruo smiled obsequiously.
Beneath those dark eyes lay an endless expanse of indifference.
Family.
Why didn't this family mention those two words when they pushed her into the abyss in her previous life, accusing her of being unjust and cruel, and causing her to suffer eternal damnation?
But it doesn't matter, Li Ruo doesn't want to end things with Li Rao so soon.
Only Li Ruo herself knows how painful it was.
Having been given a second chance at life, she wants to take it slow.
"Ruoruo, you should go on your date. Is Changfeng here to pick you up?"
"Um."
Li Ruo smiled.
"Okay, do your best and don't leave a bad impression."
Listen to this, they were just saying they were a family.
At this point, the topic was turned over, and she was merely a tool for the marriage alliance with the Wen family.
After watching the Li family leave, Li Ruo stood under the eaves at the hospital entrance and waited patiently.
The smile on her face froze as the Bentley disappeared completely from sight.
Li Ruo slowly took out her phone; the dimly lit screen displayed a recording function.
The evidence is in hand.
She'll be useful in the future.
As Li Ruo was deep in thought, a familiar voice suddenly rang in her ears.
"Get in the car."
In sight.
A ostentatious, limited-edition sports car was parked two meters away from her.
Wen Changfeng rolled down the car window, his eyes casually fixed on her.
First, the curtain lowered to her face, then moved down to her exposed, fair ankles.
The man's aggressive, possessive gaze made Li Ruo quite uncomfortable.
Wen Changfeng never knew the meaning of the word "thoughtful," so much so that when Li Ruo got into the car, she was soaked from head to toe.
He was about to reprimand him.
"How can you not act like a young lady at all? How are you going to face my brother later?"
brother?
Before Li Ruo could speak, the other party started rambling on and on.
"I'll take you for drinks later. Be quick-witted about what to say and do."
Judging from Wen Changfeng's tone, he had already turned her into his possession.
Li Ruo was displeased, but had no choice but to endure it for the time being.
With a slight upturn of her lips, Li Ruo smiled and said.
"Understood, Brother Changfeng."
"Clean yourself up yourself."
Li Ruo took a tissue and gently dried the dampness from her hair.
Yu Guangzhong and Wen Changfeng appear to be watching a short video sent by a woman while waiting at a red light.
The person in the video was dressed very scantily, with very little clothing on their body.
Wen Changfeng squinted and enjoyed it, a sight that made Li Ruo feel nauseous.
I must have been blind in my past life to not see the filth beneath this skin.
...
"Sizzle—"
The sound of tires screeching against the ground rang out.
Wen Changfeng slapped the steering wheel.
"arrive."
Li Ruo, with her good temper, pulled out an umbrella from the back seat and followed Wen Changfeng respectfully and obediently.
She tilted her umbrella slightly towards the other person, appearing humble and subservient.
Wen Changfeng was extremely satisfied with the sight and hummed a snort.
"It's presentable enough."
Li Ruo lowered her head, making it impossible to discern her expression.
This is Paradise Island, located by the water in the heart of the city where land is incredibly valuable.
Most of the people who come here for leisure are handsome men and beautiful women, and are either rich or noble.
A lecherous man like Wen Changfeng, who has a lot of dirty money, usually refers to this place as his second home.
As soon as he entered the water, he easily found a small path.
At the end, two girls dressed in revealing maid outfits lowered their heads and chuckled, their delicate voices calling out in a soft, seductive tone.
"Welcome, Young Master Changfeng."
Wen Changfeng lived up to his reputation as a notorious playboy in the industry, generously slipping several hundred-yuan bills into someone's chest.
Watching from behind, Li Ruo felt as if something was blocking her left chest.
It's not that I envy those few bucks.
only--
Scenes from the past slowly surfaced in my mind.
"No, can you stop being so materialistic? Other people have it, so what?"
Wen Changfeng frowned, looking impatient.
"Others have seen a lot of the world since they were young, and they can create value for the company and their families. What good are you, besides following me around like a clingy little devil every day?"
"Li Ruo, I've been good enough to you, don't be ungrateful."
