After I caught the scumbag cheating, Mr. Xiao wanted to marry me

Shen Lan's pupils shrank and his body froze.

It was a sunny day, but she felt cold all over.

Not far away was the swing that her father had built for her. He had taken time out of his busy schedule to make it bit by bit. The wooden seat alone had been carefully polished several times, for fear that any burr would prick her.

There is a small flower bed on the left, planted with jasmine flowers. The white and tender flowers sway in the wind, and the fragrance is elegant.

This was a gift from her brother. Knowing that she liked jasmine, he personally built a small flower garden for her.

In her pocket was a stack of hard cards, a birthday gift from her mother, seven wish cards for each year. As long as she held the cards, she could redeem her wish.

These cards have never been used because the whole family will try their best to satisfy Shen Lan's wishes.

Of the three people who loved her the most, two are gone, one is missing, and Shen Lan doesn't even know whether her brother is still alive or remembers her.

No one around her loves her.

Shen Lan's nose felt sore, her eyes were red, her fists were clenched tightly, and she stubbornly refused to shed tears.

Seeing this, Lu Yunfan's lips trembled and his mind went blank.

In fact, he regretted it after he said this, but words spoken are like spilled water and cannot be taken back.

He didn't know why he always said hurtful words to Shen Lan. He had a good temper in front of outsiders and was often praised for his demeanor.

"Shen Lan, I... I'm sorry..."

"You don't have to apologize. I won't accept your apology." Shen Lan sniffed: "And I don't agree with what you said. I have my own friends and my brother. They all like me very much. It's not that no one likes me."

She murmured the last sentence several times, as if she was talking to Lu Yunfan, but also as if she was talking to herself.

After repeating it several times, Shen Lan felt more confident. He straightened his back and raised his chin slightly. "Since you don't like me, why do you keep pestering me? If you are so capable, why not convince your father to cancel the engagement?"

When Lu Yunfan heard her mention breaking off the engagement again, his brows knitted together and he said in an angry tone, "I won't break off the engagement. I promised you that I would take care of you for the rest of my life."

Shen Lan was surprised. She didn't expect that he still remembered what she said. She thought he had forgotten it long ago.

If it were in the past, Shen Lan might be happy to hear him say this.

Now she felt nothing in her heart, and even sneered.

"You also promised to marry Zhou Xinran. Now it's monogamy. Marrying two wives is illegal."

Shen Lan didn't hide his sarcasm and ridicule, and every word he said pierced his heart: "Don't mention promises or not. Your family has never abided by such things from top to bottom. What are you pretending for?"

Lu Yunfan had no way to refute this.

After the Shen family went bankrupt, his parents wanted to cancel the engagement countless times, but because of their reputation, they did not dare to bring it up. They secretly put pressure on Shen Lan, hoping that she would speak up.

Later, his father supported the marriage because he wanted to get the inheritance and Shen family prescriptions that Shen Lan was about to inherit.

Before her death, Shen Lan's mother Li Yun gave them a large sum of money and asked them to take good care of Shen Lan, but they didn't do it.

Just as she said, the Lu family never kept their promises.

Lu Yunfan's face flushed red, he was embarrassed and ashamed. He hadn't developed his father's super thick skin yet, and still had some sense of propriety and honor.

Shen Lan looked up at the house, a look of deep reluctance flashing in his eyes.

This house is full of memories of their family. If possible, Shen Lan would like to take the house back.

But she knew that Lu Chuan would not return the house to her easily. Even if she accepted her fate and married Lu Yunfan, the house would be firmly in the hands of the Lu family.

"Lu Yunfan, before you always said that I used my favor to kidnap you and force you to marry me. Now I won't let you marry me, I just want you to promise me one thing."

Lu Yunfan's eyelids twitched: "You want me to give you the house?"

"I'm not that shameless, and besides, you can't make the decision."

Shen Lan's words made Lu Yunfan feel a little embarrassed, but what she said was the truth. As long as Lu Chuan was there, he would have no say in the Lu family.

"Then what do you want?"

Shen Lan looked at him steadily, and said solemnly: "Help me take good care of this house and don't let your father destroy it. This is my only request."

Lu Yunfan nodded silently.

"If you still have a conscience, I hope you will keep your promise this time and do what you say."

Lu Yunfan nodded again: "I promise you."

With these words, Shen Lan achieved the purpose of this trip.

After refusing Lu Yunfan's offer to take her home, Shen Lan walked along the road for a long time, recalling the few memories she had with her family, and tears flowed down her face unknowingly.

Lu Yunfan drove the car and followed carefully behind her, feeling very heavy-hearted as he watched her crying silently.

It was not until now that he suddenly realized that he did not really hate Shen Lan, and even had a little bit of love and reluctance to let her go.

But it seems too late, Shen Lan really doesn't love him anymore.
