On October 20th, the weather was sunny and cloudless.
Early in the morning, almost all the media in the imperial capital were reporting on one thing, which was the birthday of the little princess of the Li family.
The Li family invited almost all the rich and powerful families in the imperial capital's upper class to attend this time. In the past, at the birthday banquets of Li Li almost all the attendees were all children of the same age as Li Li.
But this time it was different. This time the invitation was sent out under the name of the head of the Li family, Li Langhua family. The reason for this was probably visible to everyone.
It was just her granddaughter's 20th birthday. It was such a grand event. The old lady wanted to officially expose Li Li to the public.
The identity of the heir to the Li family will be officially announced.
In the early years, there were rumors that Mrs. Li had held the position of head of the family for so many years and refused to pass it on to her second son in order to keep it for her granddaughter.
This time Li Langhua organized the event with such a grand ceremony, and there were even more rumors outside. Mrs. Li must be turning the Li family into a women's army.
But it's the same thing. Even if the position of the head of the family is passed to Li Yuanzhi, Li Yuanzhi only has one daughter, Li Ruobing. In the end, the position of the head of the family will still go to a girl.
However, this is just everyone's guess, and the truth is unknown.
The Li family's dinner was held at the Seaside Villa, which was no worse than an ordinary hotel. It had four floors and covered a wide area.
It was built like a holiday villa back then, with a swimming pool and garden, and dedicated people have been responsible for taking care of it in recent years, so there is no problem at all in hosting a luxurious dinner.
When Su Jingjing received the address from Li Li, she was still lying on the bed. The sun was shining brightly outside, and the entire room was covered by curtains, preventing all light from entering.
She slept very well.
"Sister Su, it's time to have breakfast." Xia Chen stood at the door and called.
Su Jingjing stood up holding her phone and glanced lazily at the electronic clock beside the bed. The LCD screen showed 7:30 in the morning.
"These people are truly amazing."
Wen Li gets up at 6:30 every morning and goes for a run for half an hour, leaving one day every week to lie in bed.
Wen Li's biological clock is absolutely perfect, it is unbeatable every day. Even her monthly period is not as accurate as Wen Li.
Su Jingjing covered her face and snorted. She was still a twenty-year-old girl, but why was Wen Li so different.
Why didn't Wen Li learn from Li Li and Xi Moqian? She bet two dollars that those two people must still be in bed now. Not many young people these days can be so self-disciplined, but that one who is almost perverted
"Sister Su, the boss told you to hurry up." Xia Chen called out again dutifully.
Su Jingjing stood up, took the robe from the cabinet and put it on, holding her cell phone in hand and going downstairs angrily.
Wen Li was already having breakfast in front of the dining table. The breakfast on the table was very simple, including steamed buns, bread and jam.
"Can we discuss it? I'm different from you. I don't have such an accurate biological clock. I don't have to get up to exercise, so can you stop calling me for breakfast so early?" Su Jingjing pulled up her chair and sat down to complain.
Wen Li spread some blueberry jam on the toast without raising her head, "You asked me to wake you up every day."
Su Jingjing raised her hands to straighten her hair, wailing speechlessly, "I just made a joke."
Who knew she took it so seriously.
The way Xia Chen came over to ask her to get up for breakfast every day was really like the way your mother called you home for dinner.
She took a bun from the table and took a bite. Su Jingjing shouted. The smart home appliance quickly turned on the TV automatically. The news was all about Li Li's birthday today.
Su Jingjing seemed to have remembered something and looked up at Wen Li, "Today is Li Li's birthday? Are we going there?"
The little girl almost wanted to kneel down and plead.
It doesn't seem right not to go there.
"Didn't you already promise her?" Wen Li took a sip of milk and swallowed the toast in her mouth.
Su Jingjing reached out and poured herself a glass of milk, "It sounds like there's a lot of commotion in the Li family this time. The people who will go there in the evening must be all the upper-class families in the imperial capital. Maybe Ning Muzhang will also go there. Do we have to pick out two dresses?"
You still have to be polite at least. After all, it's someone's birthday dinner, and they can't just go there dressed like this.
"Boss, is everything in the news true?" Xia Chen looked at Wen Li and asked.
The news said that Mrs. Li wanted to train her granddaughter to take over, but obviously the Li family still had Li Yuanzhi as a son.
The old lady's preference for her eldest son must have been too partial. No matter from any aspect, it seems that Li Li has no potential to become the head of the family.
"You should ask Li Li, not me." Wen Li glanced at him.
Su Jingjing bit another piece of toast, "These people are really strange. Li Langhua has not given up the position of the head of the Li family for so many years. He probably really reserved it for Li Li."
The eldest son is gone, but the second son is still alive and well. Why is the old lady so partial?
"Li Li looks like she can't afford to be the head of a family." Xia Chen said.
Li Li and Xi Moqian are completely spoiled children. They are the leaders in getting into trouble. If she really puts the entire Li family in her hands, isn't this going to destroy the Li family?
"What is Mrs. Li planning?" Su Jingjing also felt strange.
"Li Langhua can secure her position as the head of the Li family. She is naturally very clever. If she can't even tell this, she has been sitting in this position in vain for so many years." Wen Li put down the empty cup and said, "No one knows Li Li's character and ability better than Mrs. Li. She would not hand over the position of head of the Li family to Li Li so hastily."
Even if it was for the Li family, Li Langhua would not take such a risk.
"This is not something we can consider. We'll just go out to buy two dresses and go later in the evening." Su Jingjing patted the crumbs on her hands.
They had only arrived in the Imperial Capital for a few days, and it seemed that nothing they encountered was something they could figure out clearly.
"Boss, I'm full. Are we going out to buy clothes?" Xia Chen put the plates and chopsticks in the sink and put them away.
"Get ready, let's go out."
Su Jingjing jumped up and grabbed a handful of blueberries from the plate and shouted, "You two should wait for me, I haven't finished eating yet."
Tomorrow is the official first day of the traditional medicine competition, and this matter also happened suddenly.
Since she agreed to the little girl, Wen Li has to go and attend.
However, their place has been strangely quiet these past two days.
Xia Chen was a little strange. According to the frequency with which that man visited his boss, before they arrived in the Imperial Capital, he wished he could not see him even for one day.
From time to time, the boss would be picked up, and there were times when he could not see the boss for two or three days in a row. However, when he arrived in the Imperial Capital, he had never seen Fu Yuxiu again since he met Fu Yuxiu in Mizui that night.
Has the boss been let go?
The three of them went to the business center, which is the most lively and luxurious place in the entire imperial capital's business circle. There are many big international brands opening stores here.
Even if Wen Li doesn't pay much attention to these things, he still knows what to do on any occasion. If he goes there in casual clothes, it's not casual and informal, it's a typical example of a newbie with different standards.
It's easy to become a target.
"This brand seems pretty good." Su Jingjing led the two of them into the most luxuriously decorated brand in the entire commercial building.
Xia Chen never paid attention to this and followed in confused.
However, among the three of them, except for Su Jingjing, who wore more expensive clothes, Wen Li and Xia Chen were wearing the simplest jeans and sweaters, and they didn't look like rich people at all.
On the other hand, Su Jingjing's long skirt is the latest limited edition from Ingtrk this year. The beige windbreaker outside is a new autumn style. There are no more than five pairs of shoes in the whole empire. This outfit together costs hundreds of thousands.
It's a pity that the total amount of this outfit is not enough to spend money in this store.
Xia Chen was still a little confused when he was stopped by the clerk.
"I'm sorry, you guys, we have a membership system here." The shopping guide in the store said apologetically.
Su Jingjing slowly took out the membership card from her bag and handed it over. The shopping guide took it and looked at it, then respectfully welcomed the few people in.
"Did you see that? There is an old saying, respect your clothes first and then your people. The two of you are really almost like garbage pickers." Su Jingjing looked at her with disgust.
Xia Chen lowered his head and looked at the clothes he was wearing. Isn't this very good? How could he become a garbage collector?
"Please find him a suit. The color shouldn't be too dark or flashy, and it's suitable for his age." Su Jingjing pointed at Xia Chen and spoke to the shopping guide.
"Please come with me." The shopping guide led Xia Chen over.
Wen Li took a seat in the rest area in the middle and flipped through a magazine to herself. Su Jingjing stood with her arms crossed and stood next to the clothes rack opposite her.
"We're here to pick out dresses, and you're just sitting there?"
Wen Li flipped through the magazine without even raising his head and said, "Won't you choose for me? What's the point of me standing up?"
Su Jingjing snorted, but the boss was right, she would indeed choose for Wen Li.
This store is basically membership-based, and it mainly sells luxurious custom-made dresses. The main focus is custom-made, but new styles are delivered every quarter. In addition to dresses, there are also some casual clothes.
The prices are naturally horribly expensive.
Su Jingjing took out a moon-white long dress from the shelf and put it down. The neckline in the front of the dress was at the level of the collarbone. It had a sleeveless design, the upper body was tightened, and the hem was made of moon gauze, which was light and breathable.
A series of slits were made on the back of the waist, and the slender waist could be seen.
Su Jingjing gestured with her skirt and then looked at the little girl sitting over there.
"Try it, this one suits you very well."
Just when Wen Li was about to refuse, Su Jingjing glared at her, "Don't be lazy."
Seeing Wen Li obediently holding the dress and entering the fitting room, Su Jingjing began to choose a dress for herself.
After looking around, she finally found a long blue and white dress. Su Jingjing just stretched out her hand, and a hand with a silver manicure took the dress off before her.
Su Jingjing tilted her head and smelled a strong scent of perfume. She glanced sideways and saw a tall woman wearing brown sunglasses.
She handed the skirt in her hand to the shopping guide behind her, without saying anything to Su Jingjing the whole time.
The shopping guide behind her smiled apologetically at Su Jingjing.
Su Jingjing is not a stubborn person, isn't it just a skirt, who cares who wears it.
Wen Li came out of the fitting room. Su Jingjing looked at the girl who appeared, and her eyes lit up. Sure enough, she had the best vision.
Although Wen Li's face is too charming and outstanding, the fresh and elegant style may not be unmanageable. Isn't it very good to control it?
"Yes, that's it." Su Jingjing said.
Miss Anna, who was wearing sunglasses, walked over and her eyes fell on Wen Li.
"I want that dress on her." Anna raised her hand and pointed.
Su Jingjing turned around and looked at the woman who came over, her anger suddenly welling up, "Where did you come from? You looked at my temper and bullied me, right?"
You robbed it once and wanted to rob it a second time.
"This skirt costs 1.8 million yuan. Do you think you can afford it?" The woman pointed at the skirt on Wen Li and said.
I went out for a nice stroll, but people still questioned me.
"Swipe the card, let's go to another store. There are flies in this store." Su Jingjing handed the card to the shopping guide from her bag.
"Wait a minute, I said I wanted this dress, why can't you understand?" the woman said coldly.
The shopping guide cautiously came to Su Jingjing's side, "Miss Anna is Mr. Xi's girlfriend."
"Mr. Xi?" Su Jingjing raised her eyebrows, "Xi Moran?"
Hearing the name, the woman moved her long hair around her ears triumphantly.
"Miss, we can choose something else, but it's better not to offend Mr. Xi." the shopping guide advised.
The status of the Xi family is well known in the imperial capital. Xi Moran is now the head of the Xi family, but he cannot be offended easily.
"I want this, wrap it up." Wen Li turned and entered the fitting room.
Su Jingjing smiled, "Did you hear that? Just swipe your card."
"Do yo not understand my words?" Anna stared at her with a cold face, almost throwing her bag on Su Jingjing's face.
Su Jingjing stared at the other side and smiled, "Xi Moran's girlfriend? Are you sure he is your boyfriend?"
Anna stared at her, "What do you mean?"
"I told you today, let alone you being Xi Moran's girlfriend, even if Xi Moran is standing in front of me, you can't take this dress away." Su Jingjing rolled her eyes.
"You are going against me, aren't you." She said and took off the sunglasses on her face.
Wen Li came out of the fitting room and handed the dress to the shopping guide.
"What are you doing? You took off your sunglasses because you wanted to scare me to death with your face?" Su Jingjing stared at the woman and said.
The shopping guide was a little surprised. Didn't this lady know the famous female star Anna?
This is a woman who has been a TV queen for three times in a row. The TV series she starred in have been on the hot search list countless times. She is a woman who can make headlines whenever she goes out to buy something.
They actually didn't know her.
"Boss, we can go." Xia Chen walked out of the men's fitting room next to him.
Noticing Anna who was staring at them, Xia Chen raised his eyebrows, "Who is this?"
Standing here like a fighting cock.
"Let's go." Wen Li said.
"You can look at something else. This dress doesn't suit you. Not everyone can have this effect when wearing it."
Su Jingjing said this before going out, making Anna behind her jump in anger.
After the three of them got out of the store, Su Jingjing looked at the jewelry store opposite and stopped.
"What are you doing?" Wen Li looked at her.
"Buying gifts, what else can you do? You can't go empty-handed." Su Jingjing pointed to the jewelry store.
The three of them entered the jewelry store one after another. As soon as they took out two good necklaces from the counter, they bumped into Li Ruobing who came in.
Behind her were two bodyguards, both carrying gift bags.
"Miss Wen, Miss Su." Li Ruobing called out, "Are you guys coming to buy things too?"
Su Jingjing turned sideways and put down the diamond brooch in her hand, "Miss Li, what are you doing?"
"I ordered jewelry here and happened to pass by here to pick it up." Li Ruobing saw a pair of small earrings in front of Wen Li.
The style chosen is simple, not very luxurious, and the diamond cutting process is also very exquisite.
"It just so happens that you're here too, let's help see what Li Li likes." Su Jingjing flirted with her.
"You are picking out gifts for Lili." Li Ruobing walked over and picked up the bracelets and necklaces from the glass cabinet and took a look at them, with a gentle smile on his face, "I think as long as Wen Li chooses them, Li Li will be very happy."
After all, Li Li's love for Wen Li is beyond words, and she wants to pester Wen Li all the time.
"There is a competition tomorrow. I wonder if Miss Wen Li is ready?" Li Ruobing raised the topic that she had always wanted to ask.
Wen Li shifted her gaze from the necklace to Li Ruobing's face, "What do I need to prepare?"
If a serious person listened to this question, I'm afraid it would be uncomfortable. Is Wen Li really so confident?
"Although there is no restriction on freedom, people can still come and go freely, but after all, once the competition starts, many people will choose to sleep in Bai's Manor, and some daily necessities need to be prepared." Su Jingjing said to Wen Li very seriously.
Tomorrow everyone will get the toxin prepared by Bai Guangjing, and the problem solving will officially begin.
There is no restriction on freedom, but it is not easy to detoxify. After all, that is Bai Guangjing.
"I just prepared an extra set of daily necessities. I'll give you one when the time comes." Li Ruobing said.
"Thank you then."
Soon the store manager handed her the jewelry ordered by Li Ruobing.
"In this case, I will leave first. Remember to come earlier in the evening. Li Li will be very happy."
Li Ruobing waved to a few people and walked out of the store with her bodyguards.
Su Jingjing's eyes were almost dazzled, but Wen Li beside her seemed not to be interested at all.
"Don't you choose a gift? We are going there tonight, and I have an appointment with the stylist to do my hair for a while."
After finally choosing a necklace, Su Jingjing asked the clerk to wrap it up, but with these three people attending, it was impossible to give only one gift.
"When giving gifts, you have to give them what they like." Wen Li looked at Su Jingjing meaningfully.
She raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"Li Li draws comics, so as long as I give away a copy of the comics from your collection, along with your autograph, all the problems will be solved."
Su Jingjing slapped her forehead, and then she remembered that there was such a thing.
She was just thinking about giving gifts, and she completely forgot that she was the gift that Xi Moqian and Li Li wanted most.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? We spent a long time choosing here."
And that necklace is extremely expensive.
"I saw that you were very happy with your selection, so I just thought that since you are so happy, I won't join in the fun." Wen Li said and glanced at the three or four gift boxes already wrapped on the table.
When Su Jingjing was choosing gifts, she didn't forget to buy a few of her favorites for herself.
Seeing the look in her eyes, Su Jingjing touched her nose in embarrassment. Today it felt like she was dragging Wen Li to go shopping.
After finally buying something and coming out of the store, Xia Chen followed the two of them patiently with seven or eight bags in his hands.
As soon as Su Jingjing approached Wen Li and wanted to say something, a commotion quickly broke out on the other side.
Someone shouted, "Big star Anna fell in the bathroom!"
Wen Li looked along the gathering crowd and saw Anna walking out of the toilet supported by her assistant.
The clothes on her body were all soaked. She held her right hand in her left hand and walked out with her head lowered. Blood oozed from her wrist.
The blood stains and water stains were mixed together, and the woman who was so delicate just now became extremely embarrassed.
"It's only been half an hour and it's been like this. You must have been beaten in the toilet for being too arrogant." Su Jingjing said amusedly.
When Anna, who was being helped into the elevator by her assistant from a distance, looked up again, she looked at the three people standing opposite from a distance in the middle.
"Why did I feel that something was wrong with her eyes just now?" Su Jingjing shook her shoulders.
"It's not a feeling, the way she looks at you is indeed wrong." Wen Li replied.
Su Jingjing was helpless, "I provoked her."
After Anna was taken away, the crowd of onlookers dispersed quickly. Wen Li and Su Jingjing took the elevator to the first floor. They waited at the door for Xia Chen to drive over.
Li Ruobing got into a black extended Bentley opposite the two of them.
Li Langhua was sitting in the back seat with two stacks of documents in her hand. She looked like she had just returned from the company.
"Grandma." Li Ruobing called.
"Yes." Li Langhua responded, looking at her granddaughter with a softer look in her eyes, "Did you get it?"
"It's just right. Actually, you don't have to come to pick me up. I can go there by myself." Li Ruobing glanced at the old lady.
Today, beauticians, stylists and makeup artists will all go to Li's house to take care of the three women before styling them.
"Come here from the company on the way, not far." Li Langhua looked away from Li Ruobing.
As the car drove along the flat road, Li Langhua looked sideways. When the car window closed, she saw two girls standing in the commercial center.
One of them had an outstanding face. She handed the thing in her hand to the boy who got out of the car, and then got into the back seat.
Li Langhua's pupils suddenly dilated, and she suddenly leaned in front of the car window.
"Pull over."
The car stopped in response, and she tried her best to poke her head out, but the girl had already gotten into the car and could no longer be seen.
"What's wrong, grandma?" Li Ruobing saw her anxious look and reached out to pat her back.
Li Langhua closed her eyes and shook her head vigorously, "It's nothing."
Maybe it was because of her age that she actually saw that face.
She has really been too busy lately, and her eyes are dazzled by the busy work.
"Let's go." The old lady leaned weakly on the car seat and smiled to herself with her eyes closed.
I'm afraid it's impossible. They promised back then that they wouldn't step back into the Imperial Capital. After many years, she understood that they might break their promise.
