Chapter 762: Willful Capital
"Tell me the truth, was that man yesterday the second son of the Sun family?"
After hearing Aunt Xue's firm question, Li Wan's expression changed several times, and she nodded in agreement, then asked in return, "How did Aunt Xue know this?"
It is true!
Aunt Xue sighed inwardly and couldn't help feeling a little lost. After all, not long ago, she had developed strange thoughts about Sun Shaozong.
But now...
All is past!
She sighed and said helplessly, "You have always been a cautious person. Even if you have other intentions, you shouldn't be so comfortable in the home of an unmarried man."
Only then did Li Wan realize where she had been exposed.
In fact, this was also expected. After all, when she found out that Aunt Xue also had strange feelings towards Sun Shaozong, she never thought of hiding this matter.
However, Aunt Xue discovered the secret in advance, which still caught her off guard.
Should I stick to the original plan and just make it clear, or...
Just as he was hesitating, he heard Aunt Xue ask again, "Then let me ask you again, what was your intention in bringing me over here today?"
"this……"
"Tell the truth!"
Aunt Xue rarely put on a serious face, staring at Li Wan and threatening her word by word: "If you dare to tell a lie, I will report it to your mother-in-law immediately and see how she will deal with it!"
She was heartbroken by her shattered fantasy and also resentful that Li Wan intended to drag her into the water, so she became more dignified than ever before.
Facing the furious Aunt Xue, Li Wan hesitated again and again, and finally said carefully: "I saw Aunt this morning, and she seemed to have some thoughts about Sun Jia Erlang, so... I was thinking about how to help them."
"What a great way to help adults!"
Aunt Xue sneered repeatedly. Seeing that Li Wan had stopped, she urged, "Go on!"
Li Wan knew something was wrong when she saw her attitude, but once the arrow was shot, there was no turning back. Now that she had come to this point, she could only bite the bullet and continue.
When she said that she had written a note and asked Suyun to deliver it to Sun Shaozong, Aunt Xue couldn't help but frown and asked, "So, Suyun also knows about you and Sun Jia Erlang?"
Li Wan nodded, but did not dare to tell the truth that Suyun had already lost her virginity.
"What was written on that note?"
“It’s… it’s nothing.”
Li Wan hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "I only wrote 'Yesterday's events have been revealed, and he is also thinking about it. Can I put an end to it once and for all?'"
When Aunt Xue heard these sixteen words, she became even more furious.
He slapped the table with his hand and scolded, "I thought you were honest and sincere, and I wanted to cover up your scandal, but I never thought you would be so vicious and ruin my reputation!"
Sure enough, I ended up making things worse.
Li Wan secretly lamented in her heart, but she also knew that this was purely the result of her acting too hastily.
If what he said last night could be considered as persuasive, then his actions today seemed absurd.
If it was really for safety, they should have contacted Sun Shaozong first and then worked out a foolproof solution, instead of just dragging Aunt Xue over and doing it without consulting anyone later.
But how could she remain patient and seek stability in the face of such a situation?
My own family's reputation is fine, but my son's future and career must not be ruined!
Thinking of this, and looking at Aunt Xue's chest heaving and her face full of frost, Li Wan quietly clenched her fists, pondering how to end the situation, while at the same time feeling determined.
If things don't go well, even if it costs my life, I will never affect Lang'er's future!
"Alas~"
Who knew that just as she was thinking about it, Aunt Xue suddenly sighed again, leaned back, shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's end this matter here. As long as you are willing to focus on educating your son and never associate with the second son of the Sun family again, I will still keep my mouth shut."
"aunt?"
Li Wan didn't expect that Aunt Xue would lift her up high and drop her gently, and she couldn't help but call out in surprise.
"That's it."
Aunt Xue waved her hand in a disinterested manner, stood up and said, "I'm tired, I'll go back to the room and rest for a while."
Having said that, he walked out on his own.
But when she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned around and ordered: "If Sun Jia Erlang replies, you must inform me immediately."
Li Wan nodded subconsciously, and then saw Aunt Xue leave without looking back.
…
Perhaps because he was afraid that Li Wan would be too anxious and act on her own to cause trouble, Sun Shaozong's reply was much happier than expected.
Before he even reached Xiangwu Hotel, he found an excuse and handed a reply letter to Suyun.
Li Wan opened the letter and read it line by line, secretly feeling relieved, because in the letter, Sun Shaozong not only rejected her proposal of "once and for all", but also spoke very respectfully to Aunt Xue.
This reply letter should be able to save a lot of impression points, right?
With this in mind, Li Wan couldn't wait to find Aunt Xue and passed the reply letter to her without changing a word.
However……
Aunt Xue looked at it several times, and her dark eyebrows, like distant mountains, became more and more furrowed.
Li Wan was puzzled and was about to ask for clarification, but she saw Aunt Xue rolled up the letter and put it back into the envelope, saying indifferently, "It's rare that he is sensible. Let's just leave it at that."
Having said this, he lowered his eyes and said no more.
What on earth is going on?
Li Wan was puzzled. Aunt Xue was furious before because she intended to drag her into the trouble. Why was she still unhappy now that Sun Shaozong was being so respectful?
He wanted to find out what was going on, but seeing that Aunt Xue was clearly in a position to drive him away, he was afraid that if he pressed her too hard, he would annoy her again, so he could only leave the guest room in dismay, feeling confused.
Aunt Xue didn't open her eyes again until Li Wan's footsteps faded away.
She lowered her head to take a look at the rolled-up letter, then stood up and walked to the dressing table. She reached out and gently stroked the fine lines at the corners of her eyes, muttering to herself, "Is it true that my youth is gone? Otherwise, why would the second son of the Sun family be so distant in every sentence..."
As the saying goes, 'There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.'
Li Wan read the letter, which was full of respect, just in time to make up for her previous recklessness.
But when Aunt Xue read the whole article, she felt alienated in every word and sentence.
If it was because of his status, the Sun family and the Rongguo Mansion were also old friends, so how could he dare to steal Li Wan?
Actually, you are disgusted with yourself for being old, right?
After all, Li Wan's depression and distress mostly stem from her husband's early death, which caused her mother-in-law to look at her differently.
Therefore, she had an affair with Sun Shaozong not only because of the lust hidden in her heart, but also out of a desire for revenge against her dead husband and everyone in the Rongguo Mansion.
However, the pressure that Aunt Xue was under was far less.
Instead, it is the panic caused by the passing of time that gradually penetrates into the bone marrow as time goes by.
If not for this, she would not have deliberately tried to prove in front of Sun Shaozong that she was still charming.
[When she is no longer young and has her own grandchildren, will she feel some regret for not letting go of all her worries and being a woman for once?]
Li Wan's words echoed in her mind again, but this time Aunt Xue was no longer in a trance. Instead, she was filled with bitterness.
I touched the fine lines with my fingers again, and what I felt was the ruthlessness of time, the helplessness of being a woman, and... the inconsolable resentment and unwillingness!
Now, do I no longer have the capital to act recklessly?
