《If We Cannot Grow Old Together》C18. She Has Been Dismissed by Sir
Advertisement
It’s Xia Wanyan again!
Li Qiaosheng’s face is more overcast with irritation at this moment. He really cannot understand why Wanyan wants to frame up her best friend again and again!
After Li Qiaosheng figures out the whole thing, he still mercilessly fires Zhang Lan. Unexpectedly, this woman tells him another secret in order to keep her job!
“Sir, I still have something very important to tell you. Just don’t drive me away. If I get fired, my whole family will...”
“What is it? Tell me, right now!” The man interrupts her pleading with impatience.
Licking at her lips, Zhang Lan seems to have made up her mind and goes on, “Well. It was not an accident that Milady fell down the stairs and it was not Mrs. Li’s fault. Instead, it’s... it’s Miss Xia! Because Milady didn’t want Miss Xia to be together with you, Miss Xia laid her murderous hands on her... And when Mrs. Li saw Milady fall, she rushed to help her but Milady mistakenly thought that it was she who pushed her down. Sir, I did this against my own will because my child is sick and I badly need a big sum of money. Miss Xia said that she was willing to help me out if I could conceal the truth for her, so I…"
“OK, I will pay for your child’s medical bills, but you must leave today.”
How can he continue to use a person who can do bad things against her conscience for the sake of profits?
As for Xia Wanyan, it turns out that she wants to become Mrs Li!
Well, if she wants to become Mrs. Li, then he will let her become his wife so that he can see whether she can perform this role well...

But it is a little weird why his mother strongly opposed Wanyan to be together with him at that time.
It makes sense that his mother objects to his marriage to Mu Ziyou, who is the daughter of the whore and who has an ambiguous incestuous relationship with his father. But as for Xia Wanyan, she is the only daughter of the Xia family. Although her family is not as rich as his, their marriage is still a perfect match.
In his memory if it didn’t go wrong, the fact was that his mother actually hoped that he could marry Wanyan when his father forced him to marry Mu Ziyou.
What on earth has happened that caused his mother to change her mind suddenly?
In his memory, Xia Wanyan was so kind that she wouldn't even step on an ant. Would she kill his mother just for becoming his wife?
How could she become like this? Are there any unspoken troubles for her?
After Xia Wanyan comes back from the hospital, she obviously feels that there is something different in the villa. Yes, it’s the atmosphere. It’s the light in the servants’ eyes towards her that makes her uncomfortable...
“Xiaoli, where is Lan?” Xia Wanyan can’t find Zhang Lan in the kitchen. Finally she stops a maid and asks.
Xiaoli doesn't dare to say too much. She simply replies, “She has been dismissed by Sir. If you want to eat something, you can also tell me.”
“Dismissed?” Xia Wanyan stands there dumbfounded for a moment and then some bad feeling flashes through her mind. “Oh, no, thanks. You may go on with your own work.” After saying this, Xia Wanyan trots upstairs, holding the hemline of her skirt.
Li Qiaosheng is not in his study, nor in the bedroom. However, she hears the sound of shower water in the bathroom. Xia Wanyan swallows and walks into the bedroom quietly. She seats herself on the edge of the bed in a sweet and cute manner and waits for Qiaosheng to finish his shower.

Zhang Lan was suddenly dismissed, which makes her feel that she might have been betrayed by her.
Otherwise, Brother Qiaosheng should have gone to the hospital as usual to pick her up instead of just sending a driver!
Finally, Li Qiaosheng comes out from the bathroom with only a bath towel on him. When he sees Xia Wanyan sitting on the bed, he is not surprised and says, “You are back. Pack up your own things. After dinner, I will take you back to your own home.”
“Why, Brother Qiaosheng?” Xia Wanyan is so surprised on hearing this that her emotions blow up and she challenges him without much attention to her choice of words, “Is that Lan? Did she tell you something bad about me?”
“Something bad? There is no enmity between you two. Why does she want to say bad things about you? I want you to go home because you will become my wife soon. Shouldn’t we avoid meeting each other before the wedding?” There is a hint of playfulness in the man’s eyes.
Xia also realizes that she seems to be a little too excited and tries to cover up in a hurry. “Oh, I see... I heard that she loves gossiping about people behind their backs. Otherwise, why did she suddenly get fired by you?”
“Her child is sick and it affects her work a lot. I let her go home to take care of her kid. She did want to tell me something. But I was impatient to listen to her and let her leave.”
Hearing this, the heart in her mouth finally falls back to its place and she echoes, "She loves gossiping about something out of nothing. So you are wise not to listen to her.”
“Wanyan, I really don't like listening to lies, so except private matters, you’d better not hide anything else from me. Otherwise, I will be very angry.” Li Qiaosheng wants to give her an opportunity to confess.
