C23 You'd Better Give up Before It's too Late

"Shen Pianpian can't be An An's stepmother." Fu Jianli frowned and answered Ji Xiaonuan's question, then continued to question, "What does what happened that year have to do with Shen Pianpian?"

Hearing Fu Jianli's words, Ji Xiaonuan's face darkened and she sneered, "Don't you remember what Mr. Fu did? It seems like your memory is really bad."

Back then, Ji Xiaonuan clearly saw Fu Jianli and Shen Pianpian hugging each other, and Mrs. Fu said that the two of them were together.

Even after so many years, Ji Xiaonuan still could not forget what happened back then.

Fu Jianli was now pretending to know nothing, obviously not wanting to admit what had happened that year. Ji Xiaonuan was very unhappy with Fu Jianli's shameful behavior.

"It's over between us, so you've got nothing to hide from me. I don't care what happens to you."

As Ji Xiaonuan spoke, she turned her head away and looked out of the window, too lazy to bother with him anymore.

Squeak!

Fu Jianli's expression turned ugly as he braked the car to the side of the road.

Ji Xiaonuan was shocked and instantly tensed up. It was very dangerous for him to suddenly brake like this, this man...

"You have to tell me clearly!" Fu Jianli's expression turned extremely ugly. He turned off the engine, unbuckled his seatbelt, and grabbed Ji Xiaonuan's wrist.

What happened that year had always been a scar that Ji Xiaonuan did not want to mention in her heart.

Now that Fu Jianli had mentioned it, Ji Xiaonuan's heart was filled with displeasure, and her tone was extremely bad, "Why do you think I left without telling you back then?"

The main reason why Ji Xiaonuan left that year was indeed because of Mrs. Fu, and also because, "Back then, when your mother saw me and threatened me, you were hugging Shen Pianpian."

She sneered and broke free of Fu Jianli's hold. "Anyway, I've made it very clear that I won't give up custody of Anan."

Shen Pianpian didn't like An An. Now that things had just started, Shen Pianpian had already made her move. She didn't want An An to live in the Fu family. If Fu Jianli got custody of An An...

Ji Xiaonuan did not dare to think about it anymore, did not dare to imagine losing Anan, did not dare to imagine how bad Anan's stepmother would be to him.

After breaking free from Fu Jianli's imprisonment, Ji Xiaonuan opened the car door and got out of the car. She stopped a taxi and left in a hurry.

Looking at Ji Xiaonuan's back, Fu Jianli's grip on the steering wheel tightened even more. After a moment of silence, Fu Jianli turned the car around and drove straight back to the villa.

In the villa, the maids were busy working.

Fu Jianli walked straight to the maid he had brought from the Fu family and grabbed her arm, "What else happened the day Ji Xiaonuan left?"

"Was Shen Pianpian there?"

Fu Jianli frowned and his tone was extremely bad.

In front of Ji Xiaonuan, Fu Jianli had been controlling his emotions, trying his best to look calm and hide his emotions.

However, he had never let go of their feelings.

Therefore, Fu Jianli was especially concerned about what happened that year, even if it was just a small detail. Back then, at his mother's place, Ji Xiaonuan had indeed suffered a lot of grievances.

The maid was so shocked that her eyes filled with shock. After a few seconds, she came back to her senses and answered Fu Jianli with some difficulty, "There is something I didn't care about before, so I didn't tell you."

"At that time, Madam showed Miss Ji her phone and mentioned your and Miss Shen's names. As for what she saw, I don't know."

Fu Jianli's expression was extremely ugly. After a long silence, he suddenly thought of something. The day he lost contact with Ji Xiaonuan, he did indeed see Shen Pianpian.

Ji Xiaonuan blamed him. It turned out that it was not just because of her mother.

Fu Jianli left the villa with a cold expression. No matter what happened between him and Ji Xiaonuan, there were some things that he had to explain to her.

In the hospital, Ji Xiaonuan was also distracted. In the end, she did not dare to be warm to Fu Jianli.

"Dr. Ji," Outside the door, the nurse reminded her.

Ji Xiaonuan nodded and left the office. She had a surgery to do, so she could only clear her mind.

When Fu Jianli arrived at the hospital, Ji Xiaonuan was in the middle of surgery. The nurse said that the surgery might take a long time.

Fu Jianli stood in front of the monitor and looked at Ji Xiaonuan on the screen. Although she had covered herself tightly, he could still recognize her at a glance.

Ji Xiaonuan, who was working hard, distracted Fu Jianli. After all, this Ji Xiaonuan was different from the naughty and cute Ji Xiaonuan who liked to mess around!

"Do you still like him?"

Fu Jianli was watching intently when a familiar voice entered his ears. His face darkened as he saw Bai Shaoyan beside him.

Bai Shaoyan came to see Ji Xiaonuan, but he did not expect to see Fu Jianli.

"What does it have to do with you?" Fu Jianli's eyes were filled with ridicule, too lazy to bother with Bai Shaoyan.

"Of course," Bai Shaoyan did not get angry and answered Fu Jianli calmly.

Bai Shaoyan liked Ji Xiaonuan and decided to start his own pursuit. He did not want to continue being friends with Ji Xiaonuan!

He wanted to give it his all, even if the result was not satisfactory, at least he would not regret it in the future.

Fu Jianli was the biggest obstacle in the path that Ji Xiaonuan pursued.

"Doctor Bai, you'd better not think too much about it. Both An An and Ji Xiaonuan belong to the Fu family, and it's not your turn yet." Fu Jianli told the truth. Ji Xiaonuan might blame him, or she might be arguing with him, but he knew very well how he felt.

He did have the intention to make up with Ji Xiaonuan again, and he wanted to give it a try. It was not because Fu Jianli wanted to give An An a complete home, but because he had her in his heart.

He blamed her for leaving without saying goodbye, but he also understood her helplessness.

"Mr. Fu answered my question, but you saw Xiaonuan's attitude toward you. You're dreaming if you want to reconcile."

"Mr. Fu, I hope you can back off and be a smart person."

Bai Shaoyan said this to make Fu Jianli give up his pursuit of Ji Xiaonuan.

However, Xiaonuan was resistant towards Fu Jianli, but that did not mean that she did not like him.

He was her first love!

His gaze fell on Ji Xiaonuan on the screen, blaming himself for not knowing her earlier.

Fu Jianli sneered and looked at Bai Shaoyan. What could this man compare to him?

"I'll say the same for you."

When Ji Xiaonuan finished the surgery, she immediately saw the two people outside the door, and her body instantly stiffened.

"What are you doing here?"
