Chapter 13
Bai Jingrou walked out of the room nonchalantly. Lin Yiran was just about to close the door when she saw Bai Jingrou going back the same way, with another bag of beer in her hand.
"I often heard Han Xuan mention you before. I'm really curious about you. Let's talk."
Bai Jingrou shook the bag in her hand. She ignored Lin Yiran's farewell look and walked straight to the restaurant.
She opened the refrigerator and took out some quick meals, then rummaged through the cabinets on the side and took out snacks such as potato chips. She seemed to regard this place as her own home, and she was the hostess of this home.
Bai Jingrou took out the beer and put it on the table. Seeing Lin Yiran standing motionless at the door, Bai Jingrou actively invited Lin Yiran: "Come and sit."
"I'm not feeling well today. Let's try another day." Lin Yiran breathed a long sigh of relief and forced a smile.
Lin Yiran rejected Bai Jingrou's invitation. On the one hand, she was not feeling well. She really couldn't drink. Even if she had one drink, she would feel turned upside down and groggy.
Now she just wants to investigate and find out the truth behind Li Hanxuan's mother being hit.
Lin Yiran was even more worried that after drinking this bottle of wine, she would hug Bai Jingrou and cry, saying that Li Hanxuan was not in love with her...
She frowned tightly. In order to prevent Bai Jingrou from seeing her losing her composure, she couldn't drink this wine today.
"Lin Yiran, I am very curious about you. Aren't you curious about the relationship between Li Hanxuan and I?"
Bai Jingrou turned her head to look at Lin Yiran. As soon as she finished speaking, a smile slowly appeared on her lips, her words full of sarcasm.
The already awkward atmosphere became even more awkward.
Lin Yiran pursed her lips and responded calmly: "Miss Bai, I'm not that curious. I don't want to know."
Bai Jingrou opened a bottle of wine and said to herself: "There shouldn't be any contract between the two of you, right?"
Lin Yiran didn't have a good impression of Bai Jingrou. This woman's personality and appearance didn't match at all. Her appearance was gentle and knowledgeable, but she turned out to be a sharp and mean woman.
Every sentence of Bai Jingrou's words was sharp, and every word struck the deepest part of Lin Yiran's heart.
She seemed to know where Lin Yiran's pain was, and every word she said made Lin Yiran uncomfortable and painful.
Bai Jingrou continued with some pride: "I won't hide it from you now. When I went abroad three years ago, Han Xuan promised me that after I returned to China, he would divorce you and marry me
The one the matchmaker is marrying will marry into the Li family."
Three years ago...
These words sounded full of irony to Lin Yiran.
Lin Yiran felt as if her chest was blocked by a ball of cotton.
She and Li Hanxuan just got married three years ago, and Li Hanxuan made such a promise to Bai Jingrou.
Lin Yiran slowly raised her eyes and looked at Bai Jingrou in front of her. Her spirit was in a trance for a moment.
Bai Jingrou looked proud. She looked at Lin Yiran with a half-smile, and vividly interpreted the true character of green tea: "Miss Lin, you are my substitute. You are a tool used by Li Hanxuan to stabilize the old man of the Li family. You are well-behaved.
He is also sensible, and with such a woman by his side to deal with his grandfather, Han Xuan only needs to rest assured and wait for my return."
Bai Jingrou's words were full of ridicule towards Lin Yiran. She changed her previous gentle image and pressed closer to Lin Yiran in front of her step by step.
Lin Yiran bit her lips tightly. She slowly raised her eyes. The emotions that had just been buried in her heart suddenly burst out. She collapsed and clenched her fists under the table.
The slightly proud woman in front of her completely disrupted Lin Yiran's calmness with her words.
Bai Jingrou witnessed the emotional changes on Lin Yiran's face with her own eyes. She continued: "Three years have passed very quickly. I think you should be wiser and take the initiative to file for divorce with Han Xuan. He will fully compensate you and give you
Everything you want.”
The atmosphere in the room instantly became solemn, and Lin Yiran picked up the beer in front of her and took a sip.
"Compensation? According to Miss Bai, Li Hanxuan has delayed your time for several years, so how much compensation did he give you?" Her eyes instantly became colder. Even though her left hand was trembling slightly under the table, her
The tone was still calm: "I am Li Hanxuan, who was married to the Li family by a matchmaker. I am different from you. In my eyes, these compensations are worthless."
Bai Jingrou gradually put away the smile on her face, and she glared angrily at Lin Yiran in front of her.
The second aunt of the Li family told her that Lin Yiran was a cowardly and humble person who did not know how to resist.
But the Lin Yiran in front of her was not such a person at all.
Every word she said was mocking Bai Jingrou for being cheap, mocking her for being worthless, mocking Li Hanxuan for not marrying her, Bai Jingrou...
Bai Jingrou's expression became worse and worse, but she still raised her chin unyieldingly. She glanced at Lin Yiran with disdain: "Put away your pitiful pride, the dignified Miss Lin of the Lin Group, and...
Why do you have to be so humble in the Li family?"
"Before today, I thought Miss Bai was a well-educated woman who went abroad to study. Now it seems that not everyone is worthy of this adjective."
Lin Yiran stood up and threw the beer in Bai Jingrou's hand into the trash can.
Bai Jingrou snorted coldly. The more Lin Yiran avoided her questions, the more certain she became that the relationship between Lin Yiran and Li Hanxuan had broken down.
She was already certain that it was not Li Hanxuan who didn't want a divorce, but the down-and-out Miss Lin family in front of her.
Lin Yiran walked to the door. She opened the door, clenched her fists tightly, and said in a cold voice: "Go slowly, I won't see you off."
Bai Jingrou picked up the backpack from the sofa, gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes at Lin Yiran. Sooner or later, she would have Lin Yiran get out of this house...
Until Bai Jingrou stepped out of the house, Lin Yiran closed the door tightly. She closed her eyes tightly and bit her lips desperately.
Her humility in the face of Li Hanxuan has been clearly seen by Bai Jingrou. Now she can only put away her poor self-esteem and face the reality.
Lin Yiran slowly sat on the sofa. She opened the folder in front of her and fell into a brief silence.
Bai Jingrou is right, Li Hanxuan doesn't love her at all...
Li Hanxuan decided to marry her in order to take revenge on her and the Lin family.
In revenge for Lin Yiran's father killing his mother, in revenge for his grandfather's so-called parents' orders and matchmaker's words.
He even regarded her as Bai Jingrou's substitute. With her by his side to deal with the Li family's grandfather, Li Hanxuan only had to rest assured and wait for Bai Jingrou's return...
Lin Yiran's eyes were slightly red, and her eyes, as calm as the sea, were filled with tears at this moment.
Bai Jingrou has come back, and she has poured cold water on Lin Yiran's humble life for the past three years.
Now Lin Yiran only felt cold all over, and the coldest thing was her heart that once loved Li Hanxuan.
