A Piano-Violin ensemble saved Li Li's face and prevented her from becoming a laughingstock on her twentieth birthday.
Naturally, the girl who played with her was also brought to the forefront. Many people came forward to find out which family in the Imperial Capital this girl they had never met was from.
People who often went to such occasions have never seen this girl.
Su Jingjing and Wen Li handed the gifts they brought to Li Li.
"This is my collector's edition. I wouldn't have taken it out if it weren't for Wen Li's idea. It's an advantage for you." Su Jingjing knocked on the head of the girl in front of her.
When she said this, Li Li became curious, opened the wrapped gift, and saw a comic book among them.
It's well-preserved, the outer plastic wrap hasn't been opened, and the name of the comic book is in the middle of the cover.
This comic called Queen is one of the only two works by the comic master Su Jing. This work is the best-selling one, but for some reason, this comic has not been reprinted and sold.
This is the original version, the earliest version, the unabridged version.
"Ah! Why do you have this?" Li Li jumped up holding the book, with undisguised joy on her face.
Xi Moqian leaned over to take a look and jumped up, her face full of surprise, "Have we collected two books together now?"
The gift Wen Li gave them when they were separated last time in Ningzhou was Su Jing's comics. Now, it was good that they had collected the only two works Su Jing had ever published.
"This is the earliest version. The first version released that year naturally has a lot of uncut content. I think you will like it very much." Wen Li said.
Li Li hugged Wen Li and said, "You are really my noble person, Wen Li. You helped me tonight and gave me such a precious comic!"
"But Wen Li doesn't look like someone who likes comics. Why are there such precious collector's editions and first editions?" Xi Moqian asked.
Wen Li glanced at Su Jingjing, who was standing tall next to her. She was now ready to take Li Li and Wen Li's knees.
"Someone gave this comic to me back then. I haven't read it yet. It takes up a lot of space here. It's perfect to give to someone you like."
"Take up space!" The sight of the two almost killed her.
This is a collector's edition comic, and she actually talks about taking up space. This is a naked satire on them.
Wen Li chuckled and reminded, "Su Jing, Su Jingjing, just one word difference."
The two of them quickly reacted and looked at the books in their hands and then at the old Su Jingjing with her neck stretched out.
Is it possible...
"Ah!!!"
The two screamed and hugged Su Jingjing. Why didn't they think of it at first? This was a great god. She was a great god in their field.
Su Jingjing doesn't look like a cartoonist.
But she is the king of bestsellers, can you believe it?
Su Jingjing was almost thrown to the ground by the impact of the two people, and she used her strength to control her center of gravity to steady herself.
The movement of several people attracted the attention of the people nearby. Yun Sheng looked at the girls hugging each other, and then looked at Yun Xiao who had not spoken much since they came to her side.
"Whose daughter is the person who played the piano just now? Why haven't I seen her before?"
To be able to cooperate so well with Li Li, she must have known Li Li for a long time, otherwise there would not be such a compatibility.
But the most famous friend around Li Li seems to be Xi Moqian. These two are famous little bullies, capable of anything in the world.
I have never seen such a cool and charming girl.
"I don't know, it's her new friend." Yun Xiao didn't have much expression on his face.
Yun Sheng raised his eyebrows. His younger brother never talked much, but he always had to do a lot of things. He would check the identity and background of everyone who came close to Li Li.
I'm afraid someone with bad intentions may have deceived the rabbit.
If Yun Xiao didn't recognize her, she probably only appeared recently, or even Yun Xiao didn't know where she appeared.
Su Mengyi stared at Wen Li carefully, not knowing why she always felt inexplicably familiar.
It seemed like I had seen her somewhere, but I just couldn't place it.
"Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?" Yun Xiao asked, looking at her sister-in-law's observant movements.
Su Mengyi shook her head, "I feel like I have seen the girl who played the piano with Li Li somewhere. It feels like she I have seen her before."
"She should be good at playing the piano. She may have participated in many competitions at this level. She should have met you a few times." Yun Sheng said.
Su Mengyi plays the piano very well and is well-known throughout the Imperial Capital. She also participates in many competitions every year and was once the first-prize winner in the Imperial Capital Piano Competition.
She has also participated in many intercontinental competitions and is a well-known piano player.
"But she does play the piano very well. It would be impossible to play like this if she didn't have a few years of basic skills." Su Mengyi praised.
Yun Xiao glanced at Su Mengyi, and then at Wen Li over there. Su Mengyi was almost picky on the piano. In her eyes, a good player meant a good player, and a bad player meant a bad player.
So not many people can get her praise.
One can imagine how good this little girl is.
Anna stood in the distance. The angry person quickly regained her composure. If even Xi Moran could look at this woman with admiration, it would be obvious that she was not a good person.
She is not a fool. If she can't win head-on, she has to find another way.
"Qianqian, Li Li." Anna called out and came with elegant steps.
The two little girls who finally met their idol were immersed in their own world and were in no mood to talk to her.
Anna's expression did not change, she still wore a generous and decent smile, and she called again, "Li Li."
Su Jingjing patted the waist of the two of them and told them to look back. Only then did Li Li see Anna walking next to her.
"Sister Na?"
"The performance just now was perfect. Happy 20th birthday."
Li Li nodded and politely accepted her blessing.
Anna's eyes fell on Su Jingjing and Wen Li. She felt inexplicably disgusted when she saw these two people in such a magnificent place with bright lights.
"What happened this afternoon was a misunderstanding. I didn't know you were friends with Li Li and Qianqian. How offensive it was." Anna took two glasses of wine from the passing waiter's tray and handed them over.
Su Jingjing took it and raised her eyebrows funny, what did this person want to do.
"This glass of wine is considered as apology. Please bear with me."
This apology was done with ease. The wine glass was handed over, but it was as if it was perfunctory and there was no sincerity in her eyes.
Wen Li glanced at her and took a step back, obviously not wanting to talk to her.
Su Jingjing touched the cup in her hand lightly, "Since it's a misunderstanding, I won't take it to heart."
Anna drank the wine in the glass, glanced at the door, and twisted the rim of the glass with her fingertips.
Looking up again, she saw the man hurriedly appearing at the door.
Li Yuanzhi was busy entertaining guests. Just as he turned around to check on Li Li, he was blocked by a man running in from the gate.
"Mr. Li!" The man's voice was urgent, "Mr. Li, my daughter is missing. Could you please help me look for her!!"
Li Yuanzhi took a step back when the man pulled him like this, and then he saw the person in front of him clearly.
"Hello, who are you?"
The man introduced himself hurriedly, "I am Nian Wei, my daughter is missing."
The assistant next to Li Yuanzhi stepped forward and reminded, "She is the president of Nian. Miss Nian Yue is a classmate of the second lady, so she is on the invitation list this time."
The people in the entire hall were not busy fawning over and busy doing business, but a man like this came out for no reason and said that his daughter was missing.
Although Li Yuanzhi was a little confused, he still smiled and spoke.
"Don't worry, have you looked everywhere?"
Nian Wei wiped the sweat from his face and nodded, "I've looked for her, but I just can't find her."
Li Yuanzhi raised his hand and motioned to his assistant to go out and tell the bodyguards to search. The entire villa covers a large area. It would definitely take a long time for one person to search for her. He was afraid that Nian Wei could not find her by himself.
"Don't worry, maybe it's in the small garden outside, but it's still in this villa. With so many people watching, you can't lose her."
This was probably the first time for everyone in the banquet hall to encounter someone who couldn't find anyone at the dinner party and found the host's house.
This is really the first time in their life.
There was a reply from the assistant soon, but Nian Yue was not seen.
Nian Wei jumped up when he heard this, "She came with me, and now she has disappeared inexplicably!"
He wanted to yell at Li Yuanzhi, but he didn't have the courage.
With so many people watching, Li Yuanzhi still kept a decent smile on his face, "It's impossible for a living person to disappear for no reason. You ask, maybe she went back early?"
Nian Wei shook his head and suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, "I met two people outside. They said my daughter was taken away! By someone!!"
His voice attracted everyone around him. People cast curious glances and walked towards him.
"Who is that?" Xi Moqian narrowed her eyes.
Why does he look familiar?
"I don't know, come and take a look?" Li Li bypassed the person in front of him and went to Li Yuanzhi.
"Second uncle, what's going on?"
Li Yuanzhi felt as if he had found a savior, "This is your classmate Nian Yue's father. He just said that Nian Yue is missing."
"Nian Yue?" Li Li was a little confused. Why didn't she remember that she had a classmate named Nian Yue?
Xi Moqian came to her side and said, "She's the weird one who doesn't like wearing matching clothes. We talked about her before, have you forgotten?"
The two of them were in the same school and in the same class in high school, so they naturally had the same classmates.
"You said Nian Yue is missing?" Li Li wondered, "Have you searched the entire villa? Is she resting upstairs?"
Nian Wei shook his head and looked straight at Wen Li and Su Jingjing behind Xi Moqian and Li Li, "They said my daughter was taken away!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned. What did this mean? What did it mean to be taken away.
"Please speak clearly. Who took this child away?" Li Yuanzhi said.
Nian Wei raised his hand and pointed at Wen Li, "She was taken away by her people!"
The unabashed identification also made Su Jingjing frown. In the past half day, someone came out to ask for someone. The time period was quite accurate, not early nor late, just after Wen Li accompanied Li Li on stage.
And there was no hesitation in raising his hand, aiming directly at Wen Li and Su Jingjing. He probably felt that the time had come.
"You can't say this nonsense." Li Li looked at Nian Wei, "Wen Li is a distinguished guest of my Li family. She is not someone you can make false accusations with casually."
Nian Wei stomped his feet on the ground and said firmly, "I'm sure it was her who harmed my daughter!"
Such a confident accusation completely attracted everyone's attention.
This girl who just accompanied Li Li to shine on the stage was accused before she could hold her breath. What was going on?
"Hand over my daughter! Return my daughter to me!" Nian Wei said, almost rushing over.
The people waiting on the side looked at each other, Su Mengyi looked at Nian Wei, and then at Wen Li who didn't look at him directly.
If his daughter is really missing, he should be looking for her right now.
But the father went directly to the hall and spent time blaming Wen Li in front of so many people. His expression was cold and he was not nervous about his daughter at all.
"Uncle, can you be more accurate? We have always been here. If you want to say that we took your daughter away, you must have evidence." Su Jingjing was speechless.
It was true that Xia Chen had thrown the person out just now, but it wasn't like she was thrown into the sea.
Although Xia Chen is a little less sophisticated in many aspects of human nature, he is absolutely obedient to orders. If Wen Li asked him to bury someone alive with sand, he would never be lazy and shoot him. This is Xia Chen's advantage.
So Wen Li didn't say he should take action, and it was impossible for Xia Chen to take action.
Even if he was thrown out of the villa, it was not thrown back to the Imperial Capital. Even if Nian Yue only had one foot, she should have come back long ago.
Thinking about this, she looked back at Wen Li. Could it be that something really happened?
"You still dare to quibble. I just asked Yueyue's classmates, and they all said that it was you and Yueyue who had a conflict just now, and someone took my daughter out!" Nian Wei wanted to shout out.
Li Yuanzhi raised his hand and ordered his assistant, and soon all of Nian Yue's classmates were summoned.
Several people stood together again, and they were all the people who had just seen the conflict between Nian Yue and Wen Li.
Originally, they were wondering why Wen Li wanted to throw Nian Yue out, but they couldn't find anyone for a long time, and there was no news that she had even returned to the imperial capital.
They all have reason to guess whether this person was harmed by this woman.
"Yueyue had a fight with her in the yard just now, and then she was taken away by the boy next to her." One of the classmates stepped forward to testify.
Xi Moqian stepped forward and said, "Yan Ning, don't get it wrong. You can't say this nonsense."
"Yes, don't say this nonsense." The person next to him advised.
"I'm not talking nonsense, it's a fact. The reason why Yueyue and her quarreled was also very simple. She was wearing the same clothes as Yueyue." Yan Ning said again.
Nian Wei stepped forward, "Are you sure that my daughter was taken away by someone close to her?"
Several classmates nodded, they had seen it with their own eyes in the garden.
Li Yuanzhi's expression remained unchanged and his breath was steady, "Then why didn't you call someone at that time?"
He watched helplessly as his classmates were driven away.
Several people looked at each other, they were also afraid of being thrown out by Wen Li. Besides, it has been a blessing for everyone to come to the Li family's dinner for many years.
If the atmosphere of Li Li's birthday is really ruined, not only them, but also their own family will be blacklisted.
They can also distinguish whether such things are serious or not.
Two bodyguards hurriedly walked in from the door and handed what they found to Li Yuanzhi, "This was found next to the coastal rocks."
It was a light white high-heeled shoe, and several classmates recognized it. These were the shoes Nian Yue wore tonight.
"No one found?" Li Yuanzhi looked at the shoes and frowned.
The bodyguard shook his head and said with some embarrassment, "But there is a pool of blood there."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was surprised and asked what was going on.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Su Jingjing and Wen Li.
"This is too bad. I just don't know where that little girl has gone. This is the beach." Anna, who was standing nearby, said something casual.
As if to remind everyone that this is the seaside.
Many people's expressions changed, and the looks they looked at Wen Li and Su Jingjing were wrong. They wouldn't just throw people into the sea.
This is too cruel.
"Mr. Li, what happened to my daughter happened at the Li family, you have to give me justice!" Nian Wei turned around and said to Li Yuanzhi angrily.
Wen Li had a headache from his loud voice, and Su Jingjing stepped back to her side.
"Where has Xia Chen gone? If he doesn't come out again, it would look like Nian Yue was killed by us." Su Jingjing leaned into Wen Li's ear and spoke.
"Wait a moment." Wen Li replied.
The turn of events was so dramatic that Xi Moqian and Li Li looked at each other. They had seen Wen Li and Xia Chen take action in Ningzhou.
Both of them are not ordinary people. Could it be that Nian Yue and Wen Li had a quarrel just now and had a black hand against Nian Yue.
Li Yuanzhi could only reassure the guests, "Everyone, this must be a misunderstanding. Let's wait until we find out the truth of the matter."
You cannot conclude that a person is dead just by looking at a shoe.
"Do you need any more evidence?! She killed my daughter!" Nian Wei looked at Wen Li sadly, "I didn't expect that a little girl who looked like a human being could be so cruel."
"Why did you confirm that your daughter was killed before your daughter's body was found?" Wen Li glanced at him indifferently.
Nian Wei was choked by this sentence and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Ning Muzhang came down from upstairs and walked slowly to Wen Li.
"It's really lively, but where did you come from? It's too arrogant to dare to run wild in the Li family." Ning Muzhang looked down at the people on the sofa.
From Wen Li's perspective, you can clearly see the crazy smile on his face.
"Wen Li is my guest, she won't do such a thing." Li Li came over and blocked Ning Muzhang's eyes from looking at Wen Li.
Ning Muzhang raised his hand and patted Li Li on the shoulder, speaking softly, "You are still young and don't know the dangers of the world. Some people are not as harmless as they appear. You have been deceived."
Li Li shook off his hand and said firmly, "How could Wen Li kill someone? She can't!"
"If you are really angry, you won't be rational." Ning Muzhang argued with Li Li with great interest, neither angry nor annoyed.
"Besides, do you know what the gangsters think?"
Ning Muzhang deliberately looked at Wen Li when he said this, "I heard that this Miss Wen Li is someone who lives in the underground world."
Most of the people present understood it, so no wonder they hadn't seen her at any dinner party in the imperial capital.
After working for a long time, he was a gangster with no background and no publicity. In the imperial capital, many people called people who were involved in the black market on the streets as people who could not stand up to the public.
Wen Li was now automatically classified as one of those people who couldn't see the light of day.
"You're talking nonsense! She's not a gangster!" Li Li yelled at Ning Muzhang.
Li Yuanzhi came over and pulled her to take her away, "Li Li, you go over first, I will handle this matter."
"No." Li Li broke away from her second uncle's hand, "Wen Li is the guest I invited, no one can bully her!"
The old lady who had just walked to the spiral staircase heard these words clearly. She lowered her head and looked at her granddaughter who was protecting Wen Li behind her downstairs, her eyes firm and scary.
She felt vain for a moment and almost fell down again.
"Old lady!" Ruiqiu hurriedly supported her.
"I'm fine." Li Langhua held her forehead and looked at her granddaughter downstairs. Her headache became even worse.
"Let's go down first."
Ruiqiu supported her and made a gesture to go down.
Li Langhua didn't move, raised her hand to stop her, "No, we'll stay here."
She wanted to see how much weight this Wen Li held in Li Li's heart.
Li Yuanzhi had a headache due to the noise, so he made a move towards Li Ruobing. Li Ruobing took a step forward and wanted to drag Li Li away with her bodyguards.
Xi Moqian rushed upstairs to find Xi Moran to save the situation, but after dialing two calls in a row, he was told that Xi Moran had just left after Li Li performed twenty minutes ago.
Isn't this going to be a big deal?
Ning Muzhang looked at the lively scene in front of him and lowered his head in front of Wen Li.
"Do you know the feeling of despair? When you have no one to rely on, and you are the target of public criticism, but the supporter you cling to is not by your side, do you feel extremely desperate at this time?"
Wen Li chuckled, now she was sure who was the one who tripped her up tonight.
"If you beg me now, I can still help you. Even if the young master is here, the crime of murder is not so easy to blame." Ning Muzhang's tone was full of pride.
Even if Wen Li is Li Li's guest and this is the Li family, Li Li, the eldest lady, has to take the Li family's face into consideration.
In the end it will be dealt with the same way.
She was just an orphan who came to the imperial capital alone. Without Fu Yuxiu, what kind of huge waves can she make?
It's not the same as letting others knead it.
"It's really hard for you, you went all the way in such a big circle to trouble me." Wen Li's eyes narrowed dangerously.
Ning Muzhang straightened up, "It's just a matter of moving your fingers. Think about it carefully, or ask me..."
Su Jingjing understood and also knew what Ning Muzhang had planned. The man named Nian Yue was probably in danger.
