daughter\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan lowered his head and looked at the red string bracelet on his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he raised his head and looked at Su Ruochu in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was a mix of laughter and tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was both excited and amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The amusement, of course, was because of what Su Ruochu had just said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan didn't expect Su Ruochu to be so emotional, getting carried away with her feelings after watching a movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even mustered the courage to pour out her heartfelt words to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The excitement, naturally, was because of the bracelet on his wrist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, Chen Fan had soared to great heights and amassed wealth that could rival nations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was surrounded by beauties of all kinds and had wealth that passed by like fleeting clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had no interest in any of it, living like a walking corpse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at the last moment of his life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan had donated all his wealth, leaving only one thing in his embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was this red string bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply because it was given to him by Su Ruochu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was their token of love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan cherished it dearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After being reborn, Chen Fan encountered Su Ruochu again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gradually forgot about the red string bracelet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, unexpectedly, everything was exactly the same as his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu had given him an identical red string bracelet as a token of love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only difference was that the timing was at least two years earlier than his previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gently caressing the red string on his wrist, Chen Fan suddenly pulled Su Ruochu into his embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't worry, I won't break up with you in this lifetime.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu's pretty face turned slightly red as she chided him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop fooling around, I'm still holding snacks in my hand, and it might stain my clothes...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Chen Fan refused to let go, gently nuzzling his head into Su Ruochu's hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me hold you for a little longer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ruochu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu, resting in Chen Fan's embrace, softly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I miss you so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by a cold, harsh voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ruochu!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden voice startled Su Ruochu, causing her to shudder and push Chen Fan away with a jolt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at the private car parked by the side of the road with a bewildered expression, as well as the woman standing beside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu was instantly frightened, her expression anxious as she glanced at Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan, on the other hand, unexpectedly looked at Lin Wanxiu, who had appeared out of nowhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his previous life, he knew Lin Wanxiu, but they had never formally met.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanxiu was dressed in a gray professional work outfit, with her long hair tied up in a bun, exuding a businesslike demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face was adorned with exquisite makeup, showing no signs of being a woman in her forties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lin Wanxiu was glaring angrily at Chen Fan and Su Ruochu, her gaze as if she wanted to devour them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu hurried over, trying to avoid angering her mother by acting cute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, what are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanxiu glanced at her daughter and let out a cold snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't you tell me you were going to a classmate's house to play?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, if I hadn't happened to pass by, you would have kept me in the dark, wouldn't you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've really outdone yourself. You've even learned to lie and deceive your mother...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu's face turned red, and she became nervous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, listen to me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shut up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get in the car and wait right now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanxiu suddenly glared at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did I not tell you to get in the car and wait?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Or are you not even listening to me anymore?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu stood defiantly, her eyes turning red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan then walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Auntie, please don't be angry...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanxiu suddenly glared at Chen Fan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have a say in this? Stand aside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan looked at Su Ruochu, shrugged his shoulders, and stood to the side with a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu was angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, why are you lashing out at him without hearing the whole story?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Without hearing the whole story?\" Lin Wanxiu let out a cold snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have eyes, didn't I just see it with my own eyes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her daughter at a loss for words, Lin Wanxiu gestured toward the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get in the car right now, or else you'll make me really angry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan secretly gave Su Ruochu a look, signaling her to obey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Ruochu then angrily stomped her foot and got into the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene only made Lin Wanxiu angrier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her own daughter wouldn't listen to her, but she obediently followed this stinking brat's words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could a mother be happy about that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You, come with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanxiu angrily walked a few steps away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan followed and took the initiative to ask, \"Auntie, do you have something to say to me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you and my daughter classmates?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan nodded, \"Not only are we classmates, but we're also deskmates.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Which one of you pursued the other?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I pursued her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanxiu looked down at Chen Fan with an interrogating air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long have you two been together?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan frowned, feeling displeased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Auntie, it's fine if you say anything about me, but isn't it inappropriate to talk about your own daughter like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don't need you to lecture me,\" Lin Wanxiu snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Answer my question.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not for long, Ruochu only agreed during the last three days before the college entrance exam.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanxiu stared intently at Chen Fan, as if trying to see if he was lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you... cross any lines with my daughter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan glanced at this woman, hesitated for a moment, and then shook his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Wanxiu visibly breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leave her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stay away from my daughter from now on.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan looked up at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Lin Wanxiu let out a cold laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think you're good enough to be with my daughter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She's young and naive, easily deceived, but I won't let my daughter be fooled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It ends here for you two, don't even think about it anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won't let my daughter be with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Fan also laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry.
