Chapter 145 Xu Wanrong's Modern Dilemma
modern
Xu Wanrong slowly woke up on the big bed in her spacious, bright and luxurious villa, and the bright sunlight shone on her delicate face through the French windows. After experiencing the ups and downs of ancient times, she returned to the modern world and was in a surprisingly good mood.
"Hmph, what's so good about ancient times? Modern times are still more comfortable and free." Xu Wanrong stretched lazily, got up from the bed, put on her silk nightgown, and walked downstairs barefoot. She was looking forward to finding some delicious food in the kitchen to satisfy her newly awakened taste buds.
However, when she walked lazily down the stairs on the soft carpet, she found that the atmosphere in the living room was not right. Her mother was sitting on the sofa, crying with her face covered, her shoulders shaking constantly, and her sad cry seemed particularly desolate in this empty villa.
Xu Wanrong's heart tightened, and she walked over quickly and asked anxiously, "Mom, what's wrong? What happened? Don't cry."
When Mother Xu heard her daughter's voice, she looked up, her red and swollen eyes full of despair and helplessness. She sobbed and said, "Wanrong, your father...your father died in a car accident."
Xu Wanrong's head buzzed, and she was a little confused for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. She frowned and asked, "What about the property? How much inheritance did we get?"
Mother Xu wiped away her tears and said in a trembling voice, "It was your father's legitimate wife's son who inherited the family business and sent someone to inform us that he wanted to take back the villa and all the property under our name."
Xu Wanrong's face turned pale instantly, her hands clenched into fists, and she said angrily: "How could they do this? I am also my father's daughter! Not only did they not give us a share of the inheritance, but why did they also take our things away from us!"
Mother Xu sighed sadly, "We are not allowed to see the light of day after all. Now that your father is gone, how can the son of the first wife tolerate us?"
Xu Wanrong bit her lip and said with a firm look in her eyes: "Don't be afraid, Mom. I won't let us be kicked out like this. I'll go and argue with them!" Then she turned around and was about to walk out.
Mother Xu hurriedly held her back and said, "Wanrong, don't be impulsive. They are powerful now and we can't defeat them."
Xu Wanrong broke free from her mother's hand and said resolutely: "So what if we can't win? Are we just going to sit there and wait for death? No, I won't accept that!"
Mother Xu slumped down on the sofa helplessly, muttering to herself: "It's all fate...it's all fate."
Xu Wanrong rushed to the garage and drove her sports car all the way to the headquarters building of her father's company. She walked into the elevator aggressively and went straight to the president's office on the top floor.
With a bang, she pushed open the office door. A young man in a suit was sitting behind the desk. He looked up with a cold and distant look on his face: "Who is it? Are there any rules?"
Xu Wanrong glared at him and shouted, "I am Xu Wanrong, the daughter of Xu Zhengshan! Why do you want to take back everything that belongs to me and my mother?"
The man sneered, "Oh, why? Just because Xu Zhengshan is married into our family, everything he has belongs to my mother. How about that? Are you satisfied with this reason?"
"You are the daughter of a mistress. You have taken advantage of our family for so long. How dare you be so arrogant in front of me?"
When Xu Wanrong heard this, her face turned pale and her body couldn't help but tremble. "You're talking nonsense! My dad is not a son-in-law!"
Xu Wanrong's eyes flashed with anger, "You bunch of liars! Dad was really kind to us when he was alive. How can you be so impatient to bully his daughter when his body is still warm?"
The young man stood up, walked around the desk, and walked towards Xu Wanrong step by step, his eyes full of contempt. "Really? He just covets my family's money and power. You and your mother are the same, both are vampires! Now, everything should end."
Xu Wanrong bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall. "We are not like that! My mother gave up so much for my father, and she has been silently enduring the criticism from others for so many years. Now that my father is gone, you don't even give us a chance to live! How can you be so heartless?"
The man stopped in front of Xu Wanrong and looked down at her. "Heartless? Compared to what you and your daughter did, this is nothing. Leave now and don't humiliate yourself here."
Xu Wanrong clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. "I won't leave! Unless you return what belongs to us!"
"Humph, it belongs to you? What qualifications do you have to own these?" The man sneered, "From today on, you have nothing."
Xu Wanrong could no longer control her emotions, tears welled up in her eyes. "You bastard! I won't let you go!" She rushed forward and tried to beat the man.
The man grabbed her wrist and shook her off. Xu Wanrong stumbled and fell to the ground. "Just you? You don't know your own limitations!"
At this time, the office door was pushed open again, and a middle-aged woman walked in, with a victorious look on her well-maintained face. "Son, what's the point of talking to such a person?"
Xu Wanrong looked up at the person who came, her eyes full of hatred. "You vicious woman!"
The woman smiled contemptuously. "Xu Wanrong, you and your mother are the ones who cannot stand the light. Now, get out of here and don't dirty our place."
Xu Wanrong got up from the ground and glared at them fiercely. "You will be punished!"
"Retribution? I want to see who can repay us." The man said disdainfully.
Xu Wanrong turned and ran out of the office, her desperate cries echoing in the corridor.
When Xu Wanrong got home, she saw her mother sitting on the sofa in a daze, with a blank look in her eyes. "Mom, they won't give our things back to us."
The mother slowly raised her head, her face full of tears. "Wanrong, what should we do in the future?"
Xu Wanrong threw herself into her mother's arms, and the mother and daughter hugged and cried. "Mom, I will never let us be bullied like this."
At night, the mother and daughter lay in bed, tossing and turning. Xu Wanrong really didn't expect to face such a situation as soon as she came back. If she had known earlier, she might as well not have come back!
So what if she was guessed? She could still be alive after changing her appearance. The worst that could happen was that she would marry Lin Hai again. Why was she so stupid?
……
The next day, Xu Wanrong and her mother had just gotten up when they were startled by a rapid knock on the door.
"Pack your things quickly and move quickly!" a vicious voice came from outside the door.
Xu Wanrong and her mother looked at each other, and saw fear and helplessness in each other's eyes. Xu's mother opened the door tremblingly, and saw several burly servants standing at the door, their eyes cold and with a hint of ridicule.
"What are you dawdling for? Pack up quickly. Madam and Master have said that we must move out today!" One of the servants frowned, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked impatient.
When Xu Wanrong heard this, she immediately retorted angrily: "Didn't you say three days? How can you go back on your word!"
The servant looked at the mother and daughter with contempt and sneered, "Our young master has changed his mind, what can you do?"
