Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

“The surveillance clearly showed two men in black entering and leaving the classroom during the lunch break, destroying the homework of the class. We investigated the fingerprints on the homework, and Miss Xu was not a suspect.”

“However, we found Liu Ru’s fingerprints, so she was the one who orchestrated this incident.”

Liu Ru felt as if she had been struck by a bolt from the blue. After hearing this, she immediately panicked.

“Dad, I didn’t do such a thing. I didn’t...”

Li Jingran snorted coldly. “Heh, now you don’t dare to admit it?”

“I have detailed evidence here. After you’ve read this, think of how you can explain yourself.” With a serious expression, the Butler threw the thick stack of documents directly on the table.

Li Xuyi stood rooted to the ground. He took the documents and looked at them carefully, his face full of shock.

He had really misunderstood Xu Wanwan!

The counselor could feel the gloomy atmosphere in the office. She swallowed her saliva and said, “Director Li, this matter was caused by our unsatisfactory investigation.”

“But please rest assured, we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation.”

Li Jingran did not even look at her. Instead, he looked at Li Xuyi and said in a deep voice, “Apologize to Miss Xu.”

Although Li Xuyi knew that he had misunderstood Xu Wanwan and felt somewhat apologetic, he had never bowed to anyone before. How could he apologize?

“Brother, I didn’t do it on purpose. Why are you taking it so seriously? Besides, isn’t she fine?”

Li Jingran’s gaze fell on Xu Wanwan and gave her a careful look. When he saw the red and swollen spot on her forehead, he frowned. “What happened to her head?”

“What else could it be? She bumped it by accident,”Li Xuyi said nonchalantly.

Li Jingran raised his wrist to look at the time, his patience running out. “I’ll give you three minutes to apologize to her.”

“In three minutes, if you don’t show an apologetic attitude, I’ll stop all your clubs abroad.”

Li Xuyi had opened many adventure sports clubs abroad, and this was what he cared about the most.

He was held in check, and his tone became unpleasant. “Brother, why are you forcing me to apologize? We’re family, and you’re making me lose face?”

Li Jingran stared at the time on his watch without changing his expression.

“You have two minutes left.”

Li Xuyi’s forehead tensed up, and he clenched his fists anxiously.

Not wanting to see Li Jingran confront his younger brother, Xu Wanwan pursed her lips and said softly, “Mr. Li, I’m fine. There’s no need to apologize.”

Li Jingran looked at the girl, his eyes softening a bit. “I’m educating my younger brother. It has nothing to do with you.”

Xu Wanwan wanted to say something else when she heard Li Xuyi gnash his teeth and say three words—

“I! Was! Wrong!”

The corners of Xu Wanwan’s lips curled up slightly. “It’s okay.”

Li Xuyi tried his best to hold it in. After saying that, he turned around and left.

Xu Wanwan let out a sigh of relief. She thought that the matter was over, but just as she relaxed, she saw Li Jingran walking toward her.

She did not know what the man was going to do, her calm gaze now holding a hint of surprise.

Was he going to announce her identity?

Just as she was feeling puzzled, the man’s clear, cold voice rang in her ears—

“I’m sorry, it’s my fault for not being able to discipline him properly. Miss Xu has been wronged.”

Xu Wanwan’s eyes widened slightly as if her heart had been heavily struck.

She shouldn’t have heard wrongly..

Li Jingran apologized to her?

She froze for a while before she could react. She really didn’t know what expression to put on, so she could only force a smile. “It’s fine.”

Liu Ru looked at the scene in front of her and was completely dumbfounded.

What kind of magic did this Xu Wanwan have to make the two Li brothers apologize to her?

It was understandable if Li Xuyi apologized to her, but Li Jingran was the biggest entrepreneur in A and was very powerful. Why would such an outstanding man apologize to her?

It was unbelievable!

Li Jingran stood up and looked at the time. He walked to Xu Wanwan’s side and deliberately paused. “I still have something to do. I’ll treat Miss Xu to a meal next time.”

Xu Wanwan was confused the whole time. She nodded slowly. “Ah... okay.”

When she returned to the classroom, she still felt that everything that had happened just now was like a dream.

She did not expect Li Jingran to appear at the critical moment and help her solve the problem quietly.

She was not the only one who was surprised. Everyone in the classroom was shocked.

“Did you all hear? Liu Ru’s father was reported for embezzlement of public funds in his real name. The school expelled him, and Liu Ru was forced to stop studying.”

“I also heard that Xu Wanwan was fine. Li Xuyi even apologized to her. Not only did the Li family not make things difficult for her, they even apologized to her. What kind of logic is this!”

historical

“What kind of background does this Xu Wanwan have? She can actually make the Li family lower their heads. She can’t be underestimated.”

When Lin Jianan heard this news, she looked at Xu Wanwan with eyes full of worship. “Wanwan, you’re really amazing! I heard that Li Xuyi even apologized to you. Thinking about how arrogant he is to apologize to you, I feel very happy.”

“Oh right, did you see the great chairman of the Li Group? I’m a little envious of you... If only I could also meet the president by chance.”

Xu Wanwan touched her forehead, feeling as if she was in a daze. In a casual manner, she said, “The situation earlier was very chaotic. Fortunately, you were not involved.”

Lin Jianan sighed regretfully and said, “But I heard that Liu Ru’s father was expelled from the school. This Li Group is really amazing. They investigated all the problems as soon as they came.”

“If you ask me, Liu Ru deserves it. who asked her to do such a thing to frame people?”

As Xu Wanwan listened to Lin Jianan, she was no longer in the mood to read anymore. Her mind was full of thoughts about what had just happened.

It was not easy for her to make it until the end of school. She packed up briefly and left the classroom.

As she got into the car to go home, Xu Wanwan became secretly anxious. She just wanted to see Li Jingran as soon as possible.

At the Li family home.

Li Jingran was in the study dealing with some matters when the Butler came in with a document. “Director Li, this is the financial situation of the Liu Corporation for the past few years.”

Li Jingran glanced at it casually. “The debt owed by the Liu Corporation should be paid.”

“What do you mean?”

“Stop all the projects with the Liu family and withdraw all the funds invested.”

The Butler understood. “Yes.”

Once the projects had stopped and the funds were withdrawn, the Liu Corporation would no longer be able to stir up any waves.

The moment Xu Wanwan arrived home, she put down her school bag and searched the entire hall for the Butler.

The moment the Butler went downstairs, she stopped him. “I’d like to see Mr. Li.”

“Mmm... Mr. Li should be dealing with official business right now. I’ll go and inform him on your behalf.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

Xu Wanwan returned to the living room and waited obediently.

Ten minutes later, the sound of unhurried footsteps came from behind her.

Xu Wanwan’s eyes were tinged with surprise as she looked up.

Li Jingran sat on the sofa and crossed his legs, sitting in a languid manner.. His tone was slightly raised. “Looking for me?”
