Xu Xingran slammed the door shut.
He Hansheng, who was standing at the door, wiped the water droplets from his face.
Actually, he hadn’t drunk that much.
He just wanted to use the alcohol as an excuse to make amends with Xu Xingran.
But…
He sighed.
It seemed that this time, the cancellation of the engagement banquet had really angered her.
She was really good at making a fuss.
He Hansheng rubbed his temples.
A feeling of powerlessness washed over him.
He chose Xu Xingran to be Mrs. He, largely because she was sensible, didn’t act out, didn’t cause trouble, and most of the time, she dealt with her emotions on her own.
Or he would give her a little step down, and she would take it.
This time, she was so good at making a fuss, he couldn’t deny that he was a little overwhelmed.
He didn’t have any experience in this area.
He sighed.
Forget it!
Let it be!
Give her some time to cool down.
He would move out for a while.
He would come back when she had calmed down.

Xu Xingran didn’t know what He Hansheng was thinking. She was carefree now, and she didn’t care about He Hansheng anymore. She lay in bed and had a good night’s sleep.
She slept soundly.
Until noon.
When she got up and went downstairs, Mrs. Chen saw her and immediately showed a loving expression.
“Ranran, it’s time for lunch.”
Xu Xingran gave Mrs. Chen a big smile and sat down at the dining table obediently.
“Thank you, Mrs. Chen, I love your cooking the most.”
“You, you know how to make me happy.”
Mrs. Chen served Xu Xingran her meal.
Then, she hesitated beside her, looking at her.
Xu Xingran noticed and said with a smile, “Mrs. Chen, if you want to say something, just say it, it’s okay.”
Mrs. Chen’s emotions were written all over her face.
Mrs. Chen hesitated and said, “Ranran, you and Mr. He… is something wrong?”
Xu Xingran shrugged.
“We broke up.”
Mrs. Chen was shocked!
“Broke up?”
Xu Xingran nodded.
“Yeah, we broke up.”
Mrs. Chen asked cautiously, “Is it because of the engagement banquet?”
It was true that Mr. He had done wrong.
It was an engagement banquet!
How many engagement banquets could a girl have in her lifetime?
She didn’t quite understand He Hansheng’s thinking. He canceled such a big event, the engagement banquet, just like that.
He didn’t care at all how much it would hurt Xu Xingran.
That was too much!
Xu Xingran sighed.
“I guess so!”
But it wasn’t entirely because of that.
A person’s heart doesn’t cool down in an instant.
For seven years, she loved him fiercely, with no reservations.
But she would get tired, exhausted, heartbroken, and sad.
Her passionate love was not reciprocated by He Hansheng.
What she got was indifference, humiliation, distrust, and disregard…
She really couldn’t hold on any longer.
Her love was slowly eroded and exhausted.
The engagement banquet was just the catalyst.
Mrs. Chen was heartbroken.
Over the years, she had seen how much Xu Xingran had given.
She poured her heart and soul into He Hansheng.
But He Hansheng didn’t have a heart!
Actually, she thought it was right for her to leave He Hansheng.
Xu Xingran gave Mrs. Chen a big smile, “Mrs. Chen, don’t worry, I’m fine.”
She had been thinking about breaking up for a long time.
It had taken her a whole year.
The moment she actually broke up, she really felt so relieved.
It was as if the shackles on her had been removed.
Mrs. Chen remembered something and ran to the TV cabinet to get a box for Xu Xingran.
“This is the phone Mr. He bought for you, the old card is already inside.”
Xu Xingran didn’t refuse.
She had originally intended to throw away the phone and the SIM card to draw a line with the capital.
Now that she was back, she still needed the phone and the SIM card.
She turned on the phone and logged into her WeChat.
Instantly, a barrage of messages flooded in.
She just glanced at them and didn’t bother reading further.
Most of them were mocking her, sent on the day the engagement banquet was canceled.
She didn’t bother to reply.
She found Lu Sisi’s contact information and sent her a message directly.
[Got my phone back, contact me here for now.]
She got a new phone when she went back to Xiangcheng and only gave her number to Lu Sisi.
Lu Sisi replied quickly.
[Heard He Hansheng personally picked you up? You’re not going to change your mind, are you?]
Xu Xingran chuckled.
She replied with a rather edgy message.
[My heart is dead.]
She and He Hansheng were over.
[To be able to exhaust your love, He Hansheng is truly a rare specimen. Sister, don’t be heartbroken, He Hansheng is truly a rare specimen, but he’s just a block of ice, we don’t want him. I’ll introduce you to some high-quality puppies later.]
Xu Xingran couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
[Okay.]
Suddenly, someone called.
Seeing the number, she raised an eyebrow.
She answered.
A sharp female voice came from the other end.
“Xu Xingran, getting clever, huh? Since you chose to leave quietly, why come back?”
Xu Xingran chuckled softly.
“Mrs. He is so powerful, you wouldn’t know that your son personally picked me up, would you?”
“Don’t get cocky!” Mrs. He’s voice was filled with anger, then her tone turned sharp.
“Now that you’re back, come to the old house right away! I’m entertaining guests today, you come and serve.”
A sneer curled at the corner of Xu Xingran’s lips.
Zhang Jingyi was He Hansheng’s mother, and she had always looked down on Xu Xingran.
Over the years, she had never stopped subtly tormenting Xu Xingran.
Whenever she had gatherings or entertained her friends at the old house, she would call Xu Xingran to be a maid.
In the past, for He Hansheng, she had tried to please Zhang Jingyi.
Now that she didn’t even want He Hansheng anymore, would she still care about Zhang Jingyi’s orders?
A slow smile spread across her lips.
“Okay, you wait, I’ll be there soon!”
Zhang Jingyi’s voice was full of impatience!
“Hurry up!”
Then the other end hung up.
Xu Xingran directly blocked Zhang Jingyi’s number.
“You just wait!”
She wasn’t going anyway.
She wanted to see who would be the one with no face.
It took forty minutes to get from her villa to the old house.
Zhang Jingyi waited for a full hour, but Xu Xingran was nowhere to be seen.
Zhou, her friend, said with a smile, “Your daughter-in-law hasn’t even come through the door yet, and you can’t even get her to do your bidding. Do you feel like this family is run by He Hansheng, and he doesn’t care about you, his mother?”
Another Mrs. Lin said, “Jingyi, you’re really patient. In our kind of wealthy families, how could we accept someone like Xu Xingran, with no background or family history, as a future daughter-in-law?”
“You’ve been so nice to her, and she doesn’t even take you seriously. You need to set some rules for her!”
Zhang Jingyi was already proud and arrogant, and she looked down on Xu Xingran.
Now that Xu Xingran had stood her up, making her lose face in front of her wealthy friends, she immediately took out her phone and called Xu Xingran angrily.
“Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy…”
Mrs. Zhou covered her mouth in surprise.
“Jingyi, you’ve been blocked!”
It wasn’t just unavailable, she was blocked..
Zhang Jingyi’s face turned completely black.
