The Evil Villainess' Sweet Love Story

Chapter 178: Going to a Bar

“You’re not in a good mood?” The taxi driver was a middle-aged man. He looked at Xu Wanwan through the window. Seeing that she was so beautiful, he clicked his tongue and said, “Break up?”

Xu Wanwan lowered her head and did not say anything. It was a tacit agreement.

After all, she was indeed in a bad mood because of love.

“If you’re heartbroken, then go to a bar. Drink some wine and dance. When you wake up, you’ll forget everything.”

When Xu Wanwan heard the driver’s words, she asked in surprise, “Can you really forget everything?”

“I don’t think you’re that old. You probably haven’t been to such a place before, right?”

Xu Wanwan nodded.

The taxi driver said, “It’s not safe for you to go alone. Find a few friends to bring along. You can go to a bar together and play. You’ll soon forget your troubles.”

Xu Wanwan thought for a moment and suddenly mustered up her courage. “Then I’ll have to trouble you to send me to a bar nearby.”

She did not dare to go alone, so she sent a message to Lin Jianan on the way.

When she arrived at the bar entrance, Lin Jianan had been waiting for a long time.

She was wearing a sexy halter dress. Her hair was wavy, and the makeup on her face was delicate and sultry.

The moment Xu Wanwan saw her, she almost didn’t recognize her.

Lin Jianan went up to her enthusiastically. “Wanwan, you invited me to the bar to play. Why are you still dressed so conservatively?”

Xu Wanwan looked down at her sweater and skirt and said calmly, “I decided to come here on a whim, so I didn’t change my clothes.”

“Whim? Did you come here to drown your sorrows with alcohol?”

Xu Wanwan nodded gloomily. “I have nothing to do at home anyway.”

Being locked in the room by herself would only make her feel worse.

Lin Jianan understood and grabbed her arm. “I understand! I promise to drink with you tonight and forget about that bullshit love!”

—

At the Li family home.

The Butler carefully reported the results of the investigation. “CEO Li, we found that Miss Xu met with Madam Li two days ago. On the day they met, we also accidentally found the whereabouts of the Second Young Master.”

Li Jingran frowned. “What did they talk about when they met?”

“We checked the surveillance cameras at the coffee shop and saw that Madam Li handed a house purchase contract and a car purchase contract to Miss Xu. It must be…”

As the Butler spoke, he paused for a moment. “Madam Li has always been against you being with Miss Xu. Could she have said something to Miss Xu when she met her this time?”

The Butler was someone who had been through this before. When he thought about Xu Wanwan’s abnormal reaction two days ago, he quickly understood what was going on.

The coldness in Li Jingran’s eyes grew stronger and stronger. He asked in a deep voice, “Why would Li Xuyi appear nearby?”

The Butler could not help but wipe the cold sweat off his forehead. He could only answer in a low voice, “Second Young Master has always admired Miss Xu. This matter may also be related to him…”

Hearing this, Li Jingran gradually lost his mind, distractedly pushing aside the mountain of documents in front of him.

The things on the floor were scattered in a pile. Seeing Li Jingran’s gloomy mood, the Butler was also a little afraid. He just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

But at this time, he was suddenly stopped.

“Go to the old residence and inform them that I will visit them tomorrow.”

The Butler guessed what he was going to do and probed, “Director Li, do you want to bring Miss Xu with you? The two elders are reasonable people. As long as you tell them properly, I think they won’t insist on separating you and Miss Xu.”

Li Jingran looked at him coldly. “Have you been talking a bit too much lately?”

The Butler instantly lowered his head and quickly left.

Just as he went down the stairs, he saw Zhou Lin who had been waiting for a long time in the living room.

“Miss Zhou, may I ask what’s up?”

Zhou Lin raised her eyes and glanced upstairs. She said casually, “Jingran is at home, right?”

“Yes… Director Li is working upstairs.”

“Go get him for me.”

The Butler couldn’t help but sweat. Although this girl was engaged to Director Li before, her tone was a little harsh.

He tried to remind her, “Miss Zhou, Director Li is not in a good mood today. Are you sure you want to see him now?”

“Of course I know he is not in a good mood. Since I’ve come, won’t he be in a good mood?” Zhou Lin’s tone was sharp. “As the Butler of the Li family, why are you so slow in doing things?”

“If this were in our Zhou family, I would have taught you a lesson a long time ago.”

The Butler had worked in the Li family for many years and had always been careful in his work. Even Li Jingran rarely reprimanded him.

Zhou Lin was just an outsider. She had only been in the Li family house for a short while, but she had already said so many harsh words.

The Butler agreed on the surface. When he turned around and went upstairs, his favorable impression of Zhou Lin gradually decreased.

Although this girl had a good family background, she was too proud and treated people poorly. She couldn’t be compared with Miss Xu.

The Butler shook his head and went upstairs to inform Li Jingran.

“Director Li, Miss Zhou is waiting for you in the living room. She might want to see you.”

“No.”

The two cold words immediately blocked everything.

The Butler had to go downstairs and walk to Zhou Lin. He said tactfully, “Miss Zhou, please go back. Director Li is in a bad mood today. He doesn’t want to see anyone.”

“Didn’t I tell you? I only came because I knew he was in a bad mood!”

Zhou Lin got up and was about to go upstairs. “Since you can’t do it well, I’ll go look for him myself!”

“Miss Zhou, Director Li never allows outsiders to go to the second floor!” The Butler hurried to stop her and said seriously, “If you do this, Director Li will definitely be angry.”

“Oh? Could it be that Xu Wanwan is in the Li family and can’t go to the second floor?”

The Butler said truthfully, “Director Li treats Miss Xu as a member of the Xu family. Naturally, Miss Xu can go up to the second floor.”

Zhou Lin’s face darkened. “Are you mocking me?”

“I’m just telling the truth. Please don’t overthink it.”

“Hmph, I’d like to see what Li Jingran will do to me if I go up today!”

After Zhou Lin said that, she pushed the Butler away and barged into the second floor without listening to his advice.

Standing at the door of Li Jingran’s study, she especially tidied up her clothes and gave a perfect smile before knocking on the door.

A cold voice came from inside—

“Come in.”

Zhou Lin pushed the door open and entered with a smile on her red lips. “Jingran, what are you busy with?”

The moment Li Jingran heard this voice, his face darkened. He raised his eyes and stared coldly at the woman in front of him. “Who let you in?”

Zhou Lin’s expression froze. She put away the embarrassment on her face and twisted her waist as she walked in. “Jingran, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Why do you dislike me so much?”

Li Jingran’s thin lips suddenly curled into a bone-chilling smile.

Zhou Lin felt a little uncomfortable. She forced herself to sit opposite him and deliberately curled her body to expose her collar.

Her eyes were seductive, and her voice was even more charming. “I heard that you’re in a bad mood. Can I help you with anything?”

“I’ll give you one minute. If you don’t leave now, I’ll let the whole city know what you’ve done overseas.”
