A white sports car lies in front of a black off-road vehicle. The car lights shine brightly on the white body of the car, and the reflected light dazzles the eyes.
Xia Chen stepped on the brakes and looked at Li Ruobing, who was getting out of the car surrounded by bodyguards.
Today is the first day of competition. Li Ruobing changed into a warm pink jacket, and her long, straight black hair was fixed behind her head with a pearl headband.
The high heels stepped on the concrete pavement, making a slight thumping sound.
The bodyguard came over and knocked politely on the car window. The black car window lowered, revealing the girl's fair and beautiful face.
"Miss Wen Li, our eldest lady wants to meet you."
Su Jingjing glanced sideways. Li Ruobing was standing on the front of the car over there, seemingly waiting for Wen Li to get off.
"Let's go meet her. I don't think she came here to see you specifically because she misses you. Don't you also have questions to ask?"
What is the relationship between the Li family and the extermination of the Wen family? This is what Wen Li wants to find out, since the name given by this "KNOW" is Li Langhua's.
There is always a certain reason. Otherwise, a tragedy in Ningzhou would not be blamed on the people of the Imperial Capital for no reason.
Xia Chen pulled the brake, got out of the car and opened the door for Wen Li.
Li Ruobing, who was opposite, saw Wen Li getting out of the car, and a knowing smile appeared on her face.
"You have something you need with me?" Wen Li came to Li Ruobing.
She said politely, "I'm sorry to bother you all of a sudden."
"Just tell me if you have anything to say."
At least Li Ruobing knew Wen Li's temperament. She is not a pretentious person, and in some things she is quite straightforward.
"That's right, my grandma wants to meet you." Li Ruobing requested.
"Your grandma?"
Su Jingjing was relatively close and heard Li Ruobing's words clearly. Li Langhua wanted to see Wen Li.
What a statement.
Wen Li helped her granddaughter stand out at the dinner party yesterday, and she didn't even show her face to thank her. She wanted to see Wen Li today.
Settle accounts at an opportune moment?
"Grandma said that it was thanks to you yesterday. She wanted to express her gratitude to you in person and hoped that you could go over and meet her."
In fact, Li Ruobing herself felt quite embarrassed. When she went out in the morning, her grandma told her to take Wen Li back today.
Wen Li was obviously not very familiar with them, so she didn't know if she would agree to being brought back to the Li family so suddenly.
As a result, the old lady gave her words. If she didn't come to invite her, she would send someone to pick up Wen Li.
With Li Langhua's temperament, the iron lady who has controlled the Li family for so many years, and her unique skills, how could she come to invite someone politely?
Li Ruobing had no choice but to agree to this request, and she didn't know whether Wen Li would agree.
Unfortunately, this person came quite late. The draw started in the morning, but it happened that she didn't show up until eleven o'clock.
She has been dawdling until now.
"Wen Li, my grandma also wants to meet the girl who was so praised by Li Li. She didn't have time last night, so she wants to thank you in person today. Can you agree?" Li Ruobing's tone sounded pleading.
After a while, Wen Li nodded, and seeing her agree, a bright smile broke out on Li Ruobing's face.
"Then let's go, your car will follow mine."
Wen Li lowered her head after getting in the car. The messages on her phone came one after another. She was too busy to see them just now, but now she confirmed that they were from that man.
After replying two sentences, Wen Li put the phone away.
It was almost dark outside. It had been gloomy for the past two days, with a drizzle of rain. Now it stopped raining, and the air was filled with the smell of earth and vegetation.
"You said that Mrs. Li saw you, does Li Li know?" Su Jingjing looked at the car in front of her and asked.
"If she knew, Li Ruobing wouldn't be the one to pick me up."
Su Jingjing nodded in agreement. With Li Li's temperament, if her grandma wanted to see Wen Li, there was no way Li Ruobing would pick her up.
It would be that little girl making a fuss and rushing over to pick up Wen Li.
"I guess when Mrs. Li meets you this time, she definitely doesn't just want to thank you in person." Su Jingjing turned around.
The girl in the back seat looked silently at the sunset emerging after the rain outside the window. The red light shone on her face, revealing an intoxicating beauty.
As the car entered the Imperial City Villa area, Su Jingjing stuck her head out and looked at the straight and wide road. The precious flowers and trees planted on both sides of the road were all extremely rare species.
In a place where every inch of land is at a premium, the greenery here can actually reach this level. No wonder people say that people with billions of dollars in this place may not be able to buy a toilet.
The car drove directly into the Li family's yard without being blocked. Li Ruobing got out of the car and politely led Wen Li toward the door.
Li Ruobing handed the bag to the servant at the entrance. She looked over and asked, "Where's Li Li?"
"Second Miss went out in the morning. She said she was going to the publishing house with Miss Xi today, and she won't come back for dinner."
The entire living room was empty. Li Ruobing arranged for the three of them to sit down and went upstairs to find Li Langhua.
The study door opened, and Li Langhua was sitting in front of the desk processing documents. She wore gold-rimmed glasses, and golden chains hung from behind her ears. She looked very noble.
"Grandma, Wen Li is here." Li Ruobing went in and spoke softly.
Li Langhua put the documents at hand aside, put her hands together on the table, "Let her come in."
Li Ruobing nodded, but was still a little worried, "Grandma, Li Li is not at home. Isn't it inappropriate for us to ask to see her friends without permission?"
In any case, this is a friend that Li Li likes very much. It seems unreasonable for the old lady to go behind Li Li to meet Wen Li without permission.
If Li Li knew this, She is not sure what she will think.
The old lady pushed up her glasses with her fingertips, "I just want to meet the friend she praised so much, and I don't want to do anything. Why, I can't meet her?"
"No, grandma." Li Ruobing organized her words, "Wen Li is a very good girl, and you will like her too."
Li Langhua raised her hand to signal her to go out. Ruiqiu made two cups of black coffee for the old lady and brought them in. Within a few minutes, Wen Li also came up from downstairs.
"Please come in." Ruiqiu welcomed the person into the study very politely.
This is the second time Li Langhua has seen Wen Li. Compared with the shock last night, she has been able to control her emotions and will not be so flustered and frightened.
"This is Miss Mu Wen Li, right? I'm Li Langhua, Li Li's grandma. You must have seen me last night. Please sit down." The old lady stood up and raised her hand to signal Wen Li to sit opposite her.
Li Langhua's sitting posture is very elegant. She wears a long black dress with grand peonies embroidered with gold thread from the neckline to the skirt. She is full of nobility.
Ruiqiu brought the coffee and put it in Wen Li's hand.
"This is freshly ground coffee, Try how it tastes." Li Langhua raised her hand and behaved gracefully.
But the eyes behind the lenses were really looking at the girl opposite her.
If she didn't dare to look at this face carefully last night, and couldn't carefully identify whether she had seen it wrong, then she wouldn't make a mistake today.
It is also like the most gorgeous and beautiful oil painting from the hands of a master. The face is outlined with the brightest colors from every corner, making it truly charming.
It was very similar to the face in her memory, quite charming, but the temperament was different, it wasn't her.
Although that woman has a charming face, she is not unattainable. She is smiling all the time, which is different from the girl in front of her who is cold and avoids strangers.
In this world, can people who are not related by blood be so similar?
"How long do you want to look at my face?"
Wen Li's voice brought the old lady back to reality. She lowered her head and chuckled. It had been a long time since she lost her composure.
"Sorry, I forgot my manners."
Ruiqiu brought two plates of snacks from the kitchen as instructed. When she came downstairs, Li Ruobing was chatting with Su Jingjing and Xia Chen.
The children the second young lady knows are all quite outstanding. The old lady has been the head of the Li family for so many years. If she had been unreasonable, she would not have developed the Li family so well.
However, Miss Mu Wen Li came here a bit strangely.
Coupled with that eye-catching face, she would definitely not be accepted by the old lady.
The old lady always has to be extra careful when it comes to Li Li.
"Little girls all like sweets. These are what Li Li likes. I think you will like them too." Mrs. Li pointed to the desserts in front of her.
The little girl in front of her moved her fingertips and gently pushed the plate away, "Thank you, but I'm not hungry yet."
The expression on Li Langhua's face remained unchanged, as she felt that the little girl was different from others, which she knew clearly the first time she saw her.
"Then let's get straight to the point. Thank you very much, Miss Mu, for your help last night, so that our Li family would not lose face."
Ruiqiu took a white box and placed it in front of Wen Li. After opening it, there was a complete set of diamond jewelry, necklaces, earrings and bracelets, all matching, and the quality was very good.
There is also a piece of clothing worth over 10 million yuan on the market. It is dazzling in color and Mrs. Li is quite generous in spending.
"This is a thank you gift. I hope Miss Mu won't dislike it."
When Li Langhua said this, she looked at Wen Li, as if she wanted to see something from her face.
But apart from her usual indifference, there was nothing left. She was really different from ordinary girls.
If it were a girl from an ordinary family, let alone an ordinary girl, even a girl with a better family background would not necessarily have no waves in her eyes when she saw such jewelry.
It seems that she is indeed a well-bred girl, and her emotions and anger are indistinguishable.
"I heard that you are from Ningzhou." The old lady looked like she was doing a homely thing, but she always had an arrogant attitude and didn't look like a homely person.
"Yes."
Li Langhua smiled and said, "I read some news about Ningzhou when I had nothing to do, and I also know a little bit about the Mu family."
Wen Li looked at the old lady and could see what kind of doubts were hidden behind her calm and peaceful expression.
"Then what did you find out?" Wen Li asked with a smile.
She has never shied away from matters involving the Mu family, and there is no need to shirk them.
Li Langhua also saw that she has no scruples and don't like wasting time by beating around the bush.
Then she asked the question directly.
"You were lost from the Mu family when you were five years old and were found just two months ago. But after you returned, the Mu family fell from being the leader in technology to bankruptcy as quickly as possible. I heard that Mu Kun was killed in an explosion, his daughter Mu Nuanxi was imprisoned, and Mr. Mu also died in the same month. In just two months, the Mu family was devastated."
Li Langhua stopped here and looked at Wen Li with a more probing look.
"Then what?"
The girl in front of her was very calm.
Li Langhua's eyebrows did not move, she was indeed a powerful person.
"I only know a little bit about the news about the Mu family in Ningzhou, and I haven't delved into the details. Don't be angry, Miss Mu. You are Li Li's friend after all. My granddaughter is simple-minded and has gotten into a lot of troubles since she was a child. There have been many people with ulterior motives over the years. I always have to think about her. "
Li Langhua was not embarrassed at all. If she was really a serious child, she would naturally not be afraid of being investigated.
If the tragedy of the Mu family had nothing to do with her, she would naturally not be afraid of investigation.
But the child returned to the Mu family for two months. The Mu family was ruined and everyone was imprisoned. Who would believe it was a coincidence? The evil star would not kill everyone around her.
"Can you show me what you found?" Wen Li stretched out her hand.
Li Langhua glanced at Ruiqiu, who handed the document from the desk to Wen Li's hand.
She opened it and glanced at it briefly, and indeed she only made a few notes. She only said that Mu Kun was deliberately bombed to death by her daughter Mu Nuanxi, and that Mu Kuiyuan committed suicide.
But there is no relevant reason at all.
The overwhelming news that Mu Kun had killed Wen Yanxing was not presented at all. It seemed like a semi-finished product that had been deliberately deleted, but it was enough to point all the fingers at her.
After she returned to the Mu family, so many things happened in the Mu family, and it was obvious that she could not be separated from them.
Therefore, this information cannot be said to be detailed, but it can be said to be perfunctory.
"Who gave you this information? Is this the level of investigation by the Li family?" Wen Li asked, holding up the document in her hand.
Li Langhua smiled, thinking she was trying to quibble, "You don't have to worry about this, the source of the information is absolutely reliable."
"You specially arranged for someone to investigate me, just to question me about the Mu family?"
Li Langhua laughed out loud, and his laughter was crisp, "Of course not. The Li family and the Mu family have no business contacts. I don't have to do such a thing. I just want to have a good understanding of Miss Mu before we meet."
I'm afraid not many people can believe her words like this.
"What about after a brief and rough understanding?"
Li Langhua took a check from the coffee table drawer and pushed it over, "With this blank check, Miss Wen Li can fill in whatever amount she wants."
Wen Li raised her eyebrows. The name of Li's Bank was printed in the middle of the check. For such a wealthy family, even if she filled in the largest number, the Li family could still afford it.
"Is this also part of the thank you gift?" Wen Li did not move and had no intention of taking the check.
"That's right." Li Langhua retracted her hand and leaned back on the sofa, "People don't want to tell secrets. I know that you came from Ningzhou to the Imperial City to participate in the competition. Naturally, I also know that you can escape from the Mu family and have a lot of money with you, but people will never dislike having more money."
"Miss Wen Li is a very powerful person. You can't tell that she is the same age as our Li Li. Although I don't know your past, I can also see that Miss Wen Li is definitely not a thing in the pool, nor is she a person who is greedy for money. I just hope that after this favor is repaid, you can avoid her when you see Lili again in the future."
Wen Li also understood that Li Langhua went around in such a big circle to prevent her from getting close to Li Li again.
She seemed to have seen this kind of scene in the youth idol dramas Su Jingjing watched in the past two days.
The mother of a second-generation rich man took the check to his girlfriend and said, "Take the money and stay away from my son."
Wen Li looked at the check and then at Li Langhua, feeling that the old lady had misunderstood.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not a person with a class concept. It's not my nature, Li Langhua, to be superior and to be inferior to others. Miss Wen Li must also know how dangerous she is. You also know that Li Li's temperament is not a well-behaved one and is already difficult to control. I don't want her to be exposed to too much danger anymore."
What Li Langhua said was accurate, and it was also the best plan a grandma could make for her granddaughter.
After all, no one would let their granddaughter feel at ease next to such a mysterious yet dangerous person.
No one would believe that the Mu family's affairs had nothing to do with Wen Li.
"When I look at people, I always only look at their character, regardless of their origin." Li Langhua added, as if to explain for herself.
Besides, when Li Langhua looked at the girl in front of her, she still had such doubts in her heart.
"So, does this mean that your granddaughter and I are cut off?" Wen Li picked up the check with her fingertips, with a sarcastic smile on her lips.
Li Langhua nodded, "But you also know what kind of temper Li Li has. If she comes to see you again in the future, please Miss Wenli, drive her back. She is not a very persistent child. After hitting the wall a few times, she will behave."
After all, she has raised her child for so many years. Li Langhua knows her granddaughter's character better than anyone else, if she unilaterally proposes that Li Li not be allowed to get close to Wen Li.
Li Li's rebellious psychology will be stimulated.
She is afraid that she will get closer and closer to Wen Li and do the opposite. This is not what Li Langhua wants to see.
Wen Li didn't say she agreed or disagreed. Instead, she stared at the old lady with her eyes.
If you don't speak, those who watch will feel guilty.
Finally, she threw the check in her hand on the table, "Old lady, I'm not short of money. Don't worry, as long as Li Li doesn't look for me, I won't look for her. I came here today and I just have a few questions to ask you."
Li Langhua could clearly feel that Wen Li's mood had changed, which was completely different from her nonchalant look just now.
After hearing this, Ruiqiu also looked at the old lady.
"Excuse me, do you know Wen Yanxing?"
The girl spoke the name softly, but the face of the old lady in front of her suddenly changed.
Those eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. With such eyes, no one should even think that they could get away with it in front of her.
Ruiqiu hurriedly stepped forward and gently squeezed the old lady's shoulder. She used a lot of force and quickly brought her back to consciousness.
Li Langhua sat up straight, spoke with a correct attitude, and uttered three words with extreme indifference.
"I don't know."
The expected answer, Wen Li clearly saw the shock in Li Langhua's eyes, and there was also an indescribable feeling.
Some soreness or pain.
"Wen Yanxing is a well-known scientist in China. He once developed an original energy chip. He was once a sensational figure. You don't know him?"
Li Langhua raised her chin slightly and said confidently, "The Li family has no field related to chips. It is normal that I don't know this scientist. There are many talents in all walks of life in the world, and I don't have to know them all."
Wen Li nodded in agreement, and continued what he just said, "No wonder you don't know Dr. Wen. Naturally, you don't know that Mu Kun was the murderer of Wen Yanxing. He was killed because he wanted to steal from Dr. Wen's friend Professor Lei Yuan."
Li Langhua's eyes were full of astonishment, and she pinched her knees with her hands.
"Mu Nuanxi was imprisoned because she had evil intentions and helped her father buy bombs. As for Mu Kuiyuan..." Wen Li lowered her head and chuckled, "After everything was exposed, she felt ashamed of her friends and committed suicide by swallowing a bullet. These are not in your information, so it's no wonder you don't know."
"Killed..." Li Langhua lowered her head and muttered these two words.
Seeing her shocked look, the answer Wen Li had originally hidden in her heart gradually became clear.
"You take this back. I helped Li Li because I like her temperament. We will discuss the future." Wen Li stood up and walked out of the study.
When Li Langhua, who was immersed in her own emotions, reacted, the person at the door stopped and said the last words.
"Besides, my surname is not Mu, my name is Wen Li, so naturally my surname is Wen."
The study door opened and closed, and Li Langhua completely collapsed on the sofa.
"Miss!" Ruiqiu hurriedly checked on the old lady.
Li Langhua stared at the door, holding Ruiqiu's hand, "What did she say? What did she just say?"
Rachel held the old lady's hand tightly, lowered her head and spoke quietly, "She said her surname was Wen."
"They are back." Li Langhua said hoarsely, and the calmness and self-control she had maintained for many years suddenly turned into smoke.
"Ruiqiu, what should I do? They are back." Li Langhua grabbed Rachel's sleeves and said in panic, "What should I do? My granddaughter... what should I do..."
Ruiqiu has been with Li Langhua from childhood to adulthood. She has experienced Li Langhua's life, knows her life's pain, and watched her get up again after falling.
Old people who have reached their old age will never be able to bear the pain of bone erosion, and such pain will never happen again.
"It's okay, everything is not confirmed yet, don't scare yourself." Ruiqiu comforted the old lady.
"Not necessarily, she may not be..."
Ruiqiu comforted the agitated person and tried hard to calm her down.
There is always a solution to all this.
