MFAW - Chapter 88 - You said you would marry me when you were a child

Lei Yuan Research Institute.

Wen Li, who returned from Fangxi Town, took the things he found to Lei Yuan's research institute. Because of yesterday's huge change, Lei Yuan stayed at home to rest for the first time today and did not come to the research institute. The researchers were very curious.

Professor Lei, who has always been unstoppable in all weathers, did not come to the institute today.

But he has informed his assistant Xu Mingjian of the detailed situation. A person always has a few friends whom he trusts and talks about everything in his life, and Xu Mingjian is such a person in Lei Yuan's heart.

For Lei Yuan, who has no family, Xu Mingjian is like a family member. He has been Lei Yuan's assistant for twenty years, and it can be said that he knows everything about Lei Yuan and talks about it.

Wen Li returned to the laboratory with Fu Yuxiu, and for Fu Yuxiu who suddenly appeared in Fangxi Town today, Wen Li was used to this man's uninvited visits.

If he wants to follow he can follow her. However, Wen Li always remembers the scene of seeing Fu Yuxiu in front of the old house, as if it had spanned many years, and that inexplicable sense of familiarity exploded.

Xu Mingjian poured water for the two of them. Today, his eyes have been wandering around Wen Li. There was surprise and inquiry in his eyes, and it seemed more like he was looking for something from her.

"Tap tap..." The man tapped his fingers on the table twice with a look of displeasure on his face.

Xu Mingjian looked away, a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, I was so emotional at the moment. I didn't expect you to be Dr. Wen's granddaughter."

Xu Mingjian has been with Lei Yuan for twenty years, and of course he knows things about Wen Yanxing from Lei Yuan's mouth. The strong are always respected.

Especially top scholars like Wen Yanxing are of course regarded as idols by the people below, and Xu Mingjian is one of them.

"If you have any questions, just ask. Although Dr. Wen and I have only met once, Professor Lei has told me everything about him, and I will tell you everything."

People always have major physical problems when they get old. Lei Yuan has devoted himself to academics for so many years, coupled with the devastation of all kinds of worldly affairs, he is exhausted physically and mentally. Yesterday, he learned Wen Li's identity.

Great sorrow and great joy are the most taboo, so, understandably, he couldn't get out of bed for a while today.

"I want to know if Professor Lei has any photos of my parents?"

When she heard Wen Li's words, Fu Yuxiu, who was leaning against the back of the chair, had a stiff back. She indeed thought of a lot of things.

Xu Mingjian thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, Professor Lei only has the photo of the three of them."

That is, a group photo of Mu Kuiyuan, Wen Yanxing, and Lei Yuan.

"But I have met your mother. She is a very beautiful woman with an extraordinary temperament. Your father is very elegant and gentle. They are two very kind people. After moving to Fangxi Town, they donated a lot of money. 

Xu Mingjian's memory in this life was not so profound. Everyone who has met Wen Li's mother will never forget the temperament and sadness that are carried in their bones.

She is an unforgettable woman.

"Actually, Professor Lei doesn't know much about their affairs. Dr. Wen and he were acquaintances when they were young, and they kept in touch after they separated. Professor Lei only knew that he was married, but he had never seen what kind of person Dr. Wen married. 

This kind of communication is simply due to similar interests. Wen Yanxing and Lei Yuan are both people who are obsessed with academics and research like crazy. They will cherish every minute and every second they can spend together to discuss, but they have nothing to do with each other's private life. 

After exchanging emails for more than 20 years, Wen Yanxing suddenly brought his son and daughter-in-law to Fangxi Town. They were separated when they were still young, and they were already in their 60s when they met again.

"So no one knows about my parents..." Wen Li was stunned. It has been countless years now, and she has almost forgotten how to pronounce the words "parents".

From the time she became sensible to now, it was just a conceptual thing, meaning nothing to her.

"No one knows what they look like or what they do?"

Xu Mingjian thought about this question seriously, "I just heard Professor Lei say that your father is a pharmacist, but I don't know about your mother."

Fu Yuxiu raised his hand and stroked her back gently, as if comforting her.

"Are these important?" Xu Mingjian looked at Wen Li.

Wen Li took out a sealed bag from her bag. The contents in the bag were all the evidence that she had specially found from the police station at the scene of the Wen family's murder.

"What is this?" Xu Mingjian looked at the contents of the bag in confusion.

It is bronze, like a pattern formed by two intertwined letters. After all, it was something from many years ago, and it always bears the traces of time.

"Do you recognize this thing?"

Xu Mingjian picked it up and identified it carefully. After a while, he shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before."

According to him, he and Lei Yuan visited once after the Wen family moved to Fangxi Town, but they were not very familiar with the Wen family.

Wen Yanxing died two weeks after Wen Li's parents died. They were both killed by others. The difference was that her parents were shot to death, while Wen Yanxing was stabbed to death with a dagger.

The murder scenes have left traces to varying degrees, but many years have passed, and the evidence collection methods at that time have not been able to detect them, and some of the corresponding exhibits have not been able to be preserved.

Fu Yuxiu saw that she was a little disappointed and patted her shoulder gently, "Don't be anxious, look for it slowly."

Xu Mingjian looked at the man next to Wen Li. He had stayed in Ningzhou for such a long time. Although he always traveled between the research institute and home, he also knew some things and knew some people.

Is there anyone like this in the entire Ningzhou?

Since he couldn't get any useful information from here, Wen Li could only continue her investigation in another place.

"Wen Li."

Wen Li was called before going out, and Xu Mingjian looked at her worriedly.

"You must never believe anything the Mu family says, whether it's Mu Kuiyuan or Mu Kun."

Wen Li turned around. No one needed to remind him of this. Wen Li knew the virtues of the Mu family.

But hearing these words from Xu Mingjian's mouth, Wen Li still couldn't help but feel doubtful.

"Why do you say that."

"In short, they are not that simple. Even if they may not have done what happened to your parents, your grandfather's death must be related to the Mu family." Xu Mingjian was sure.

This is what Lei Yuan has believed in for so many years. Wen Yanxing rejected countless companies that cooperated and gave the original energy chip that he vowed to donate to the country to the Mu family.

Even if Mu Kuiyuan releases Wen Yanxing's handwritten letter of commitment, he is not willing to believe it.

Did Wen Yanxing do it on purpose?

"Thank you for reminding."

Xu Mingjian sent the two of them out, and when he saw the two walking away side by side, he felt confused.

"Professor." He answered Lei Yuan's call, "Are you feeling better? I'll go over to see you soon."

Lei Yuan on the other end covered his mouth and coughed twice, "It's nothing. No need to fuss. Let me ask you, has Mu's side been completed?"

Xu Mingjian nodded, "Everything has been arranged. Problems will be discovered as soon as the newly developed chips developed by Mu are launched tomorrow."

Lei Yuan chuckled, "I've been waiting for so many years, and finally it's here."

Even if this does not bring Mu's downfall soon, it can at least put Mu's family into crisis, and its reputation and finances will be greatly affected.

"Continue to proceed according to the original plan. I will make Mu's reputation fall to the bottom." Lei Yuan clenched his phone.

"But I heard that Nangtry Venture Capital Company is going to invest in Ningzhou, and Mu's has arranged for someone to go there and make contact." Xu Mingjian said.

Even if Mu's reputation is infamous, as long as he still has money in his pocket, he has nothing to fear.

That is the largest venture capital company in the entire H continent.

"Don't think so much. If everyone is gone by then, what else does Mu's family need money for..." Lei Yuan spat out these words heartily.

He just wanted to see Mu Kuiyuan's misfortune in his later years, even if he had to take two of the Mu family's children into the house.

Xu Mingjian was a little worried, "What about Wen Li?"

Lei Yuan shook his head, "Don't let that child know, this is a fight between me and Mu Kuiyuan, and it must not affect her under any circumstances."

He was unable to be by Brother Wen's side when he needed him, which had been a lifetime of pain for him.

Even though there was no evidence to prove that Mu Kuiyuan was the murderer, he was sure that it was Mu Kuiyuan who killed Wen Yanxing.

No matter what, he would take Mu Kuiyuan to hell to confess to Wen Yanxing before his body ran out of oil.

"I understand, don't worry first, your health is the most important thing." Xu Mingjian said worriedly.

"It has been my long-cherished wish. I will definitely not die in front of Mu Kuiyuan. Don't worry." Lei Yuan sat on the edge of the bed with his body propped up.

The trash can at his feet was already full of blood-stained tissues.

However, his only worry now is what to do with Wen Li, Wen Yanxing's only bloodline in the world.

After suffering so much at the hands of the Mu family, the child finally survived. What will she do in the future?

"Mingjian, please go and do something for me again, the sooner the better..."

Wen Li and Fu Yuxiu walked out of the research institute side by side. The sun was shining brightly above their heads, and people were constantly coming and going on the streets.

Across the road, Fei Ran was standing in front of a parked car, waiting for the two of them. No matter whether the man was there or not, he still stood upright.

"Let's go get something to eat first. Don't think about it. I'll accompany you to the police station here later. They also handled the case back then. Maybe they can..."

Before Fu Yuxiu finished speaking, he felt a tightness in his neck, and a force pulled him towards her. With a smile on his lips, the man lazily bent over to get close to her.

Wen Li grabbed the man's clothes on his chest and pulled him over. The two faces were so close that she could see her own reflection in the other's eyes.

"What's wrong?" The man didn't mind this action at all. He bent down to cooperate with her and even raised his hand to pinch her face, looking doting on her.

"You met me in Fangxi Town, and I always feel that we have been together for a while. What role did you play in the story back then?" Wen Li narrowed her eyes and asked in a cold tone.

The man's lips curled up slightly, and he put one hand in his pocket, indulging her movements, "Why do you ask?"

"If you and I just met each other, why did you rush over after I arrived in Fangxi Town? What are you afraid of?"

In Wen Li's bizarre dreams, a little boy would appear. He was much taller than his peers, and his face was always cold.

Although it was blurry, Wen Li always felt that the little boy was him.

"Let me think about it, fifteen years ago, I was ten and you were five, what do you think I could do?" Fu Yuxiu said, rubbing her head helplessly.

"I picked up a gun when I was ten years old. I entered a war-torn and dangerous place like no one's land, stepping on corpses. Maybe ten years old is still a child in the eyes of others, but to people like you and me, we were already exposed with everything."

She can use the coldest tone to tell the most miserable experiences in the eyes of others.

Fu Yuxiu put away the expression on his face, and hugged the person into his arms with one hand. He was so strong that he held the person tightly, unable to move. 

"Well, it won't happen again." He lowered his head in Wen Li's ear, seeming to make a promise.

She may not have had a carefree life before, but from today on, he wants to be the barrier that protects her and protects her from worries throughout her life.

"So you've met me?"

Fu Yuxiu chuckled against her neck, "You chose to forget me, so you have to remember it yourself. This is only fair to me."

Wen Li struggled to break free from his arms, "So what do you think about this matter?"

Fu Yuxiu shook his head, as if recalling something from a long time ago, "Your parents were killed after I left Fangxi Town."

He later sent people to investigate and search for her, but there was still no news about her. The locals said that the Wen family's granddaughter died of a sudden illness a few days before her parents were killed.

But only he knew that she would never die of a sudden illness.

Even if her tombstone had been erected in the cemetery together with her parents, he couldn't believe such a thing.

The little girl who would hold his hand, call him big brother, and pester him to skip rope, could not have died so early.

Sure enough, she came back.

"So you don't know either." Wen Li stared at the man as if she wanted to get useful information from his face.

"I can't help you even if you look at me. I lived in your house for three days and you picked me up. In those three days, I didn't see any hanging photos in your house." Fu Yuxiu said honestly. 

At that time, he was plotted, and when he arrived in Fangxi Town, he was already dying and covered in blood. After scaring away two children who wanted to help, it was the little girl wearing a white pleated skirt who came to him.

She was not afraid of him who was full of anger, nor was she afraid of the red blood touching her skirt, so she raised her head and took his hand to speak.

"Brother, are you in pain? I'll take you home. My dad is very powerful. He will definitely cure you."

Wen Li's father, he vaguely remembered that her mother called him Xu Qian.

Just like that, he stayed at Wen Li's house to recuperate for three days.

He didn't tell anyone the night he left, but he read her two stories, Snow White and the Prince, and the little girl pestered him to read them.

When I grow up, I want to be my elder brother’s bride, she said with a smile.

When he returned, the Wen family was destroyed, and the girl with stars in her eyes when she smiled was also gone.

"I still remember you said that you would marry me when you grow up." The man looked at her little face and said with dignity.

Wen Li stared at him, "I did forget the time I was five years old, but I'm not stupid."

There is no way to trick her.

"There are a few people who remember things when they were five years old. Even if they remember things, they are profound and unforgettable. Those things that are unimportant and choose to forget are of course unimportant."

The man's face darkened, and he pinched her face with his fingers a little harder, "Are you angry with me?"

"Li Li." A female voice came.

The two of them looked sideways and saw Jin Lewei approaching in a goose-yellow chest-length undershirt.

Jin Lewei was originally born into a family of medicine. She had been steeped in herbal medicine since she was a child. In addition, she also worked in pharmacy as an adult, so she had a freshness from herbal medicine.

"Aunt Wei." Wen Li raised her hand and shook away the man's hand squeezing her face.

Jin Lewei walked up to the two of them and looked around. Wen Li's face was not very good just now, although the man had a pampering attitude from beginning to end.

"Did you two quarrel?" Jin Lewei answered.

"No." Wen Li denied.

Jin Lewei ignored her and looked at Fu Yuxiu, "I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. I wonder, sir, is your surname Nan?"

Fu Yuxiu lowered his head and said politely and modestly, "Hello."

Jin Lewei's last guess was verified, "Wen Li has a cold temper and is duplicitous. She admits some things in her heart, but she is not forgiving with her words. Please be more patient in the future."

"Aunt Wei, what are you talking about?" Wen Li pulled Jin Lewei.

After hearing Jin Lewei's words, Fu Yuxiu looked at Wen Li meaningfully, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

"You guys and girls should get along well together, and don't bully others just because they like you." Jin Lewei said softly and thoughtfully.

"What are you talking about? What kind of boyfriend? Don't think about it." Wen Li denied.

Jin Lewei took out her phone and pulled up two pieces of news. "This news has come out, and you still don't admit it."

The title on the large page is eye-catching, and the matching picture was secretly photographed at an unknown time. Wen Li was being carried into the car by Fu Yuxiu. Their faces were blurred, but only the profile of their faces was photographed.

After Mu Wen Li, the illegitimate daughter of the Mu family, took a promotional photo of Luan Pei and went viral overnight, gaining 70 million followers, Wen Li successfully used another piece of news to top the list of major news media in Ningzhou.

The illegitimate daughter of the Mu family flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix, intending to catch up with the adopted son of the Nan family.

The marriage between the Nan-mu family is making waves again, and the adopted son of the Nan family appears.

Such a catchy title naturally brought a lot of traffic. In this era, there are still cameras with such unclear pixels. It is probably that the person who released the news did not want to offend the Nan family, so they blurred their photos.

"I thought you were a good match last time, and I'm even more convinced when I saw you just now."

Jin Lewei didn't mention those irritating headlines at all. She had watched this child grow up and got along with him day and night, so of course she knew what kind of person Wen Li was.

Of course, this kid doesn't have the temperament to get angry at these boring news headlines, so there's no need to pay too much attention to it.

"Get along well. I can see that he likes you very much and will definitely take good care of you." Jin Lewei spoke from the bottom of her heart.

"Aunt Wei..."

Jin Lewei put away her phone, "Someone is waiting for me. I'm going to leave first. You guys have fun."

The man waiting across the road handed the bouquet he brought to Jin Lewei and looked at Wen Li over there, "Is that the little niece you are talking about?"

"Very beautiful isn't she? That child has been beautiful since she was a child." Jin Lewei said proudly,

She is only twenty years old now, and her facial contours have not yet been completely determined, and she already has a stunning appearance.

The man smiled, held her hand and walked forward, "You are also very beautiful."

He turned around, glanced at the two people standing across the road, and quickly looked away.

Fu Yuxiu stood beside her. It was rare to see her look so full of life. She was much better now than before, who was as cold as water.

"I'll take you to eat delicious food. I'll tell you whatever you want to know. Don't be angry." The man put his arms around her and got into the car.

Wen Li ignored him and sat across from him after getting in the car, scrolling through her phone.

Su Jingjing sent two messages.

The news from Nangtyr spread, Mu's capital chain was successfully disconnected, and D State also seized all the equipment.

Several mines under the name of Mu's have also experienced similar problems. In recent years, Mu's has been unable to make ends meet. Although it can maintain its brilliance on the surface, there are no problems at all.

Wen Li replied with two words and continued.

Su Jingjing also released all the news. She set up such a large net to get out some good things.

Fu Yuxiu sat opposite her and turned on the stereo next to him with one hand.

"Today, the scandal between Miss Mu Wen Li of the Mu family and the adopted son of the Nan family began to ferment on the Internet..."

Moving on to the next one, different news reports soon came from the speakers.

"Nangtry, the largest venture capital company in H City, issued news today that it will send an investigation team to Ningzhou to reach cooperation with several major technology companies in Ningzhou to attract funds..."

"What are you going to do?" Wen Li stared at the man opposite.

The impact of this news on her was almost zero, she just didn't know what this man was thinking. After all, he was the male protagonist here.

"What do these things do?" Fu Yuxiu didn't mind.

Wen Li raised her eyebrows. A stingy man like him didn't mind at all when he was said to be worthless in the news?

Just now, when she was browsing the webpage on Jin Lewei's mobile phone, she followed the same routine as last time. Many people were staring at her identity as the illegitimate daughter of the Mu family.

The younger sister failed in her attempt to hook up with her older sister's fiancΓ©, and ended up picking up a good-for-nothing troll from Nan's family.

Countless netizens began to make irresponsible remarks about the identity of the adopted son of the Nan family. The Nan family has only recognized Nan Sheng for so many years.

Now the entire Nan family is also in the hands of Nan Sheng, because of the scandal with Wen Li, there are also many people speculating.

The adopted son of the Nan family may want to use the skills of the illegitimate daughter of the Mu family to seize the Nan family's property. In short, there are thousands of theories, but there is only one theory.

The two losers gathered together hoping to fight back, but they were no match for the status of the eldest daughter of the Mu family or the eldest master of the Nan family. They were just two poor little guys who cuddled up and made people laugh.

Some people are also sarcastic about why the adopted son of the Nan family doesn't seduce Mu Nuanxi, a serious young lady, and why Mu Wen Li doesn't seduce Nan Sheng, a serious gentleman.

Naturally, everyone blamed her for being misguided and ridiculed her for wanting to fly up a branch and become a phoenix, but unexpectedly, she turned out to be a loser.

It feels like stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

"I'm more concerned about the problems between the two of us now." Fu Yuxiu approached her, his dark eyes bright.

"When you were young, you promised to marry me when you grow up. Last time you said you would be responsible for me, but I see today that you are going back on your word and going back on your promise."

The two of them were so close that Wen Li could see his long and slightly curled eyelashes and his handsome face, which did not move her.

"Don't try to trick me with things I haven't said. Since you're so leisurely, why don't you deal with the words that say we two are in cahoots with each other." Wen Li raised her hand and lightly brushed her brow with her fingertips.

Isn't it just beautiful and seductive? She can do it anytime she wants.

"Okay, listen to you" The man held her hand in his arms, with an unbridled smile on his face.
