<h4>Chapter 196: Chapter 196 was premeditated</h4>


    Zhou Lin looked in Xu Wanwan’s direction as if she knew Xu Wanwan would look in her direction. She raised the corners of her lips and smiled arrogantly.


    Xu Wanwan quietly withdrew her gaze and frowned slightly.


    She was not frightened by this woman’s smile.


    She just felt that this woman’s smile was a little strange.


    The designpetition had not even started yet, and it was as if she had won thepetition. The smug look on her face was overflowing.


    Seeing that Xu Wanwan did not dare to look at her, Zhou Linughed even more heartily.


    She lowered her head and yed with her phone. She flipped through the photos fromst night and specially selected a few ambiguous photos. She sent them directly to Xu Wanwan’s phone through the air.


    Her phone rang.


    Xu Wanwan could not help but take it out and take a look.


    She opened the screen and saw a few photos that were pieced together.


    Zhou Lin was wearing a sexy nightgown. She was lying on the side of the bed in a seductive posture, and the one lying next to her..


    Was actually Li Jingran!


    Xu Wanwan’s pupils shrank in surprise. She trembled as she held her phone and almost dropped it on the ground.


    She erged the picture in disbelief. When she saw it clearly, she waspletely stunned.


    Xu Wanwan’s breathing was slightly erratic, but her consciousness was very clear.


    The background in the picture was a hotel. The man lying on the bed to rest was Li Jingran, and Zhou Lin was wearing such sexy and revealing clothes and lying next to him. Everything could be exined.


    Xu Wanwan felt an indescribable difort in her heart. It was as if someone was strangling her neck. A suffocating feeling spread from her head to her feet.


    No wonder..


    No wonder Li Jingran was in such a hurry to go on a business trip. No Wonder Zhou Lin smiled at her so smugly just now.


    All of this was premeditated.


    How could there be a sudden separation? How could the man who had always been good to her suddenly be so heartless.


    The question that had been troubling her all along suddenly found an answer at this moment.


    But this answer was so unsatisfactory.


    Xu Wan could not help but cover her heart, trying to hide the panic in her eyes.


    At this moment, Xu Yue, who was sitting next to Zhou Lin, was also smiling happily.


    “Look at Xu Wan’s expression. It’s really funny. Does she think that Li Jingran is her man?”


    Zhou Lin was not unhappy when she thought about the matter that had not seededst night. No matter what, it was impossible for Xu Wan and Li Jingran to be together anymore.


    Moreover, Xu Wanwan had seen the pictures of them together now. She was already very happy that she could stimte that country bumpkin.


    Zhou Lin sneered and said meaningfully, “Some people always think that they can be a phoenix just by climbing up a high branch. They even dare to participate in the designpetition shamelessly.”


    “If I were her, I would have left thepetition as soon as possible so that I wouldn’t embarrass myselfter.”


    She raised her voice, obviously for Xu Wanwan to hear.


    Some of the people present understood what she meant and couldn’t help but Snicker.


    Xu Wanwan sat quietly in her seat, listening to the cold words by her ear. Her eyes were fixed on the picture in her phone. Her eyes were very hot, but she tried hard not to shed a single tear.


    Why should she be sad for someone else’s happiness?


    Li Jingran had already given up on her. What right did she have to care who he was with.


    However, everyone understood the reason. It was extremely difficult to truly ept it.


    “The theme of this designpetition is environmental protection and energy conservation. I hope that everyone can design a set of works that they understand the theme of thispetition.”On the stage, designer Liu Wenfang had already announced the theme of thepetition.


    The hundreds of students below the stage were all listening attentively.


    “The time limit is three hours. After all the students have finished designing, our judges and teachers will give out marks. Those who score the top three will have the chance to exchange their insights with the designers they like.”


    Xu Wanwan pursed her lips lightly. As she listened to thepetition topic, she had long forgotten about her nervousness. Her mind was filled with the pictures that she had seen just now.


    She was stunned for a long time before she looked up.


    The people around her had already started drawing on their electronic devices. The clock on the wall was ticking.


    Xu Wan Wan looked at Zhou Lin’s back for a long time. Her nose started to ache.


    She could not help but think of the image of them sleeping together.


    She thought of how that man’s gentleness would be shared with another person.


    Before that, she had also enjoyed these things.


    But in just a few days, had he forgotten her so quickly?


    It turned out that Li Jingran liked a confident and generous woman like Zhou Lin.


    She was just an outsider living in his house, so what was she to him.


    As she thought about it, Xu Wanwan gradually walked out of the initial difort and confusion.


    Since it had already happened, no matter how upset she was, she could not solve anything.


    Moreover, this was the venue of the designpetition. She had prepared so much time for thispetition. How could she give up just like that.


    Xu Wan’s eyes became firm. She opened theputer in front of her, organized her thoughts, and began to design the work.


    Half the time had passed. Zhou Lin had finished the design long ago. She sent the work to the judges’email. After closing theputer, she looked at Xu Wan and snorted disdainfully.


    This Country Bumpkin’s design was quite serious.


    She wanted to see what kind of design a country bumpkin from the countryside coulde up with.


    The master usually favored her, so he must have deliberately said something to brag on ount of Li Jingran.


    But the judges here didn’t know that Xu Wanwan had a rtionship with the Li family, so no one could be biased.


    Zhou Lin crossed her arms, looking forward to Xu Wanwan making a fool of herself.


    At the same time, Xu Yue closed herputer.


    She had studied this theme before, so she was very good at designing.


    Presumably, she would be the champion of this designpetition.


    Three hours passed, and the host announced that it was time. All the students had to send their designs to the judges’Mailbox.


    After handing in her designs, Xu Wanwan slowly let out a sigh of relief.


    She did not waste a single minute during these three hours. She just wanted to put on her best performance and design a better work.


    “Everyone, take a short break. We’ll gather here after the results are out in the afternoon.”The host’s voice sounded from the stage.


    Xu Wanwan did not have the mood to stay here at all. When she heard this, she immediately stood up and wanted to take the lead to leave.


    “How do you feel? Do you feel good about having your man taken away?”


    A familiar female voice suddenly came from behind her. Her tone was full of pride.


    Xu Wan stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at Zhou Lin coldly. “What’s the matter?”


    “Nothing,”Zhou Lin said with a chuckle. “I just wanted to see if you were as angry as I was then.”


    “Little maid, I’ve told you a long time ago, right? Jingran and I are of equal status. The person he likes can only be me.”


    “Now that you’ve seen the truth, you must feel terrible, right? But you can’t me anyone else. If you want to me someone, me yourself for not knowing what’s good for you.”


    Xu Wan Wan could not help but clench her fists. When she heard the woman’s unscrupulous and provocative words, it would be a lie to say that she was not angry.
