Imperial Capital University.
Located in the center of political power in country G, the mainstay of all walks of life in country G has been cultivated here.
There are many talents here, and each generation is outstanding. The admission score every year is the highest in the entire G country.
It is also a place that many senior high school students yearn for, and it is the top academic representative in the entire G country.
The black RV entered along the circular leisure square at the main entrance of the school, with the windows rolled down on both sides of the car.
Qian Yi and Yingying rested their chins on the edge of the car window, staring at the place where the car passed by with wide eyes.
There are artistic buildings along the way, with well-preserved ancient buildings that have been handed down from the last century.
On both sides of the road, there are many students riding bicycles and carrying schoolbags to go to class. The academic and youthful atmosphere here is very good, and the two are well integrated.
Li Li sat in the car and looked at An Zisu opposite with a happy face.
"I didn't expect that you are also from our school, and you are in the same level as me. I have never seen you."
An Zisu nodded, "The school is so big, and we are not in the same department and major, so it's normal that we haven't met each other before."
However, An Zisu had heard of Li Li, because he was admitted to the pharmacy major of Imperial University with first place.
And Li Li was the legendary number one in the art major, but she dropped out of school after only one semester.
This incident was still a big deal in the school at that time, and Li Li didn't have a positive image at Imperial University.
There are few people in the entire Imperial University who don't know her.
But this little girl doesn’t look like the one in the legend.
Wen Li looked at the car full of people. She planned to go to Imperial University to do business. Unexpectedly, they hit it off immediately and brought a car full of people over.
An Zisu planned to bring Qian Yi and Ying Ying over to the school to have a look, and Li Li made an appointment with Xi Moqian to see an art exhibition at Imperial University.
These people successfully got into her car without even saying hello.
Fortunately, Lu Min drove here. If this was Xia Chen's off-road vehicle, they couldn't even fit.
"We can just get off here and I'll take them around the school." An Zisu said.
Lu Min in front heard the sound and stopped the car. The three of them packed their things and got out of the car.
"Then we'll see you the day after tomorrow." An Zisu said goodbye to Wen Li.
Li Li also waved to the three of them, "Goodbye."
An Zisu nodded slightly. Apart from anything else, Li Li didn't have the arrogance of a young lady from aristocratic families at all.
She is sunny and cheerful, treats others calmly, and is a familiar person.
And it seems that the two Li sisters have pretty good tempers.
"Where are you going?" Wen Li asked, looking at Li Li who was still waving enthusiastically.
Li Li stopped and thought for a while, "I'm going to the art gallery in front."
Xia Chen was speechless. It felt like a taxi was sending someone off.
The purpose of Wen Li's trip was very clear, to find someone.
Professor Fang, who was the dean of the School of Computer Science at Imperial University, was once a classmate and good friend of Wen Yanxing.
The two were classmates at Imperial University for four years, then studied together and worked in the same research institute.
If we talk about Wen Yanxing, the one who knows the most besides Lei Yuan is Professor Fang.
Compared with Wen Yanxing's current reputation, Professor Fang is much more low-key. An old man who is over seventy years old is now famous all over the world.
After retiring, the old man chose to return to Imperial University to teach and devote himself to the career he loved.
The first time I saw the old man, he was wearing a neat suit, his gray hair was meticulously combed, and the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose would slide off from time to time with his movements.
From time to time, he raised his fingers to push up his glasses.
After confirming Wen Li's identity, Professor Fang's face was full of smiles.
"You have grown so big. When you left the imperial capital, you were still a little baby who only came to my place." Professor Fang also gestured to his waist in a decent manner.
"You have a very healthy body too."
Professor Fang waved his hand and said, "No, I have been taking two steps and stopping two steps in the past two years."
Wen Li looked at the arrogant old man in front of her and couldn't help but wonder if Wen Yanxing would be like this if he were still alive.
Professor Fang said with a gloomy expression, "I also paid attention to your grandfather's case a few days ago. I didn't expect that the case could be overturned again after so many years. I saw Mu Kuiyuan back then, but I didn't expect that he would be such a person."
The old man mentioned his sadness and took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the tears from his eyes.
"It's all over."
Wen Li said something, seeming to comfort the old man.
Professor Fang poured a glass of water for Wen Li, "I didn't expect to see my friend's child after so many years. I still remember that you were always noisy at that time. You were obviously a girl, but you were so cute that the uncles and aunts in the institute were afraid of you and didn't dare to take you."
But he couldn't stand the fact that the little girl looked innocent and harmless, and she looked extremely cute. Even if she got into trouble, no one would be willing to scold her.
The past seemed to be vivid in his mind, and Professor Fang still seemed to have that little girl the size of a pea in front of him.
He would raise her head and call him Grandpa Fang sweetly.
"By the way, how are your parents? Are they in good health?"
Wen Li met the old man's earnest gaze with a calm expression, "They have all passed away."
Professor Fang was stunned for a moment, a little in disbelief. He wanted to ask something, but he held back.
"I came here to ask you something." Wen Li said.
When Professor Fang looked at Wen Li again, there was more pity in his eyes, "Ask me, kid."
Wen Li took out a photo from his bag. The woman in the photo was wearing a warm white cheongsam.
Professor Fang moved his eyes on the bridge of his nose, looked at the photo carefully, and finally spoke.
"It looks familiar."
The photo zoomed in and out before his eyes, and finally he looked like he had a sudden realization.
"This is Yan Xing's wife!"
Wen Li's suspicion was confirmed, "Are you sure?"
Professor Fang nodded, "We had just joined the institute when they got married. She had never been to our institute, but she seemed to have a good background. The few times I saw her coming to pick up Yan Xing."
It can be said that Professor Fang is the only person in the entire institute who has met Wen Yanxing's wife.
"When did they divorce?"
Professor Fang thought for a while, "I don't know much about this. Your father was seven or eight years old when he first appeared in our institute. After that, your grandfather took care of him alone. We didn't know that he was divorced."
In fact, everyone in the institute was very surprised that Wen Yanxing got married quietly and only brought a few bags of wedding candies to the institute to distribute.
Until the divorce, Wen Yanxing's wife had not officially been to the institute, but she had been seen a few times from a distance.
What's even more strange is that even after Wen Yanxing got married, he still lived in the dormitory of the institute and only went back on weekends.
Therefore, many people wonder whether Dr. Wen's wife is extremely beautiful.
Only then could Dr. Wen have been able to hide her beauty in a golden house for so many years.
"Then how much do you know about my parents?" Wen Li then asked, "Why did they move away from the imperial capital back then?"
Professor Fang sighed and said, "Your father is a very promising pharmacist. As for your mother, she is a famous painter. She has held art exhibitions and is quite famous in the imperial capital."
But the most important thing is that Yan Hua, a famous painter, did not leave many paintings.
However, many young masters from wealthy families in the imperial capital have pursued her. They are also famous for their good looks in the imperial capital, and the combination of the two is also a good-looking girl.
Professor Fang looked at Wen Li carefully. This child looked so outstanding because he inherited his mother's appearance.
"Then why did they move away from the Imperial Capital?"
Fang Jiao carefully recalled what happened more than ten years ago. After all, time had passed a long time, and the old man also needed to think about it carefully.
"I don't know. They moved away suddenly. Before your grandfather left, he asked me to burn everything related to them, including photos, letters and contact information. Nothing was left behind. The day after they left, your family's house in the imperial capital was bombed."
It was obvious that someone was seeking revenge, and Professor Fang didn't dare to think too much at that time.
Later, when news of Wen Yanxing's death came out just a few months after they moved out of the imperial capital, Professor Fang realized how difficult the matter was.
The Wen family must have been hunted down if they moved away in such a hurry.
"On the third day after your family moved away, someone kidnapped me and asked me about your grandfather's whereabouts." Professor Fang stood up and took out a copper medal from the innermost drawer of the desk in the office and handed it over, "At that time, I was blindfolded so I couldn't see what they looked like. Before I passed out, I pulled this off that person's body."
"You?" Wen Li looked up with the medal.
Professor Fang lowered his head and clearly saw a deep and winding scar in the middle of his hair, smiling.
"At that time they thought I was going to die, and I thought so too."
It's a pity that God still allowed him to save his life.
Wen Li held the thing in her palm. At least now, she found the direction of her investigation.
"Thank you."
Professor Fang smiled and said, "I didn't do anything."
"No, thank you for remembering him after all these years."
If he didn't really have Wen Yanxing as a good friend in his heart, how could the old man keep these things? He would still be wary when he saw her again.
This is because he is afraid that people with ulterior motives are investigating the Wen family's affairs.
Before Wen Li left, he was stopped by Professor Wen, and the old man asked the question he wanted to ask the most.
"When did your parents die?"
Wen Li paused, "Fifteen years ago."
Professor Fang's eyes were moist, he couldn't save any of them.
How did this child survive all these years?
With what she got from Professor Fang, Wen Li left the office, and Xia Chen was dragged away by Li Li to see the art exhibition.
She was left alone, walking aimlessly in the school.
After Wen Li walked around twice, she arrived at the artificial lake in the center of the campus. She sat on a bench by the lake.
She digested what Professor Fang said in her heart.
"Little girl, are you worried?"
A very familiar voice, also very old.
Wen Li looked sideways and saw an old man sitting on a white deck chair fishing by the lake not far from her. The old man was wearing a dark black long coat.
In front of him was a fishing rod supported by a bracket.
Wen Li squinted her eyes and remembered after confirming that the old man in front of her looked familiar.
"Aren't you the old man from Ningzhou who sold me books?"
That Herborist Collection is very useful, and the things recorded in it are also lost ancient prescriptions.
The old man glanced sideways at her, then turned his head calmly, "I don't sell books anymore, I'm fishing instead."
"There are so many mountains, rivers and lakes outside, why would you choose to fish here?"
"Be still in the midst of the noise and feel at ease."
Wen Li looked around and saw no one coming to drive him away.
This is an artificial lake, but it also has a lot of fish. The security guards of Imperial University will not want this old man to fish here.
"You look worried?" The old man looked at Wen Li and slowly sat up straight and turned around.
"Let's do this. My old man will tell you your fortune from the fortune telling. What do you think?"
Wen Li still remembers what the old man looked like when he sold the book to her at the Ningzhou Antique Night Market.
The current image of an old fishing man is not too far off the mark.
As the old man spoke, he took out a decent-looking lottery tube from the small bag he carried with him and handed it over for Wen Li to shake.
"Forget it, don't worry, this old man is still quite smart." The old man advised.
Wen Li shook the bamboo tube twice, and a small tortoise shell fell out.
The old man picked it up and took a look at it, "Hmm... Life has been rough. She is reborn from the ashes. She becomes stronger when she encounters difficulties. Recently, there have been big changes in both relationships and career."
Of course Wen Li would not believe what the old man said casually, and she stood up without listening to a few words.
"Little girl, how are you reading the Herborist book?" The old man suddenly opened his mouth.
Wen Li looked down at the old man, "After reading it, the ancient prescriptions recorded in it are quite practical even now."
That is indeed a good book.
The old man smiled and said, "That's very good."
He said and put away the fishing rod. Wen Li could clearly see that there was no hook or bait on the fishing line.
No wonder the security guard didn't come after him.
"Little girl, can you tell me why you came to the imperial capital?" The old man looked at her.
"Join the competition."
The old man nodded as if he understood, traditional medicine competition.
He didn't expect that when he first saw her, this little girl was considered a powerful character and could participate in the competition.
"We are quite destined. What is your name?" the old man asked.
Wen Li thought for a while, and this old man selling books could be considered a help to her.
The content in the Herborist Collection helped her make a lot of medicine.
"Wen Li."
The old man chewed these two words over and over again, "Break of dawn?"
Wen Li nodded, which was understandable. She had never met her parents, so she naturally wouldn't know what kind of expectations her name brought.
The old man's explanation seemed a little more hopeful.
"I'm tired too, it's time to go back."
The old man stood up with support on his waist. He had just stretched his waist and soon froze in place. He did not put down his raised hand, but just raised it high.
Time seemed to have stopped. After a while, Wen Li broke the peace.
"Hurt your lower back."
The movement just now was too big, and as soon as I raised my hand, I heard the sound of bones cracking.
"Quick...come here and give me a hand." The old man shouted.
Wen Li walked over helplessly, helped the old man sit down, and examined him carefully.
"The bones were misaligned and the arm was dislocated."
Just by stretching, his waist would slip and his arm would be dislocated.
This old man is really powerful.
"When you get older, take a good rest at home." Wen Li said.
The old man said with a straight face, "It's not like I lost my arms and legs, so why do I have to stay at home all the time."
But it’s really inconvenient that the two boys Yuan Gui and Jin Li are not here.
An Zisu, who was just waiting for Qian Yi and Yingying to visit the school, saw Wen Li sitting on the bench with the old man from a distance.
"You haven't left yet?"
He led the two of them over and noticed the strange old man beside her.
"Who is this?" An Zisu looked at the old man in front of him.
"The old man's waist misaligned and his arm was dislocated." Wen Li spoke to An Zisu.
Qian Yi on the side took a step forward and said, "Let me take a look."
Qian Yi carefully checked the dislocation of the bones in the old man's body and said, "It's not a big deal. I'll just connect it."
His title as a bone-setting expert is not for nothing.
Being moved like this, the old man got good very quickly.
The old man who recovered quickly stood up. Although he didn't jump around, he was much more lively than before.
"Yes, quite impressive. Young man, which family are you from?" the old man asked.
"You, an old man, should pay more attention in the future. Don't move too much. As you age, you will easily get osteoporosis..." Qian Yi told the old man in a decent manner.
As soon as he heard this, the old man turned around with a straight face, his hands behind his back, and left without paying any attention to them.
"Huh?" Qian Yi looked at the old man walking away in confusion, "Who is this old man? Is he a professor in the school?"
"Don't tell me, he really looks like a professor at our school's medical school." An Zisu looked at the old man's retreating back and chuckled.
The coats they wear are very similar, and it looks even more like holding a thermos cup.
"Maybe he really is that professor." An Zisu said with a smile.
Qian Yi was still a little confused, "Is he angry because I said he is old?"
Wen Li and An Zisu nodded at the same time, almost having a heart attack from anger.
He got angry with just one sentence, but he was really getting older, so he didn't want anyone to talk about him anymore. He was really an old man who refused to accept his old age.
However, such a lively and tempered old man is also cute.
"Where do you plan to go next? To see an art exhibition?" An Zisu looked at Wen Li and said, "I can take you there."
This painting exhibition was held at Imperial University Art Museum. He is a modern painter.
"What is an art exhibition?" Yingying, who has always rarely spoken, asked.
The little girl's dark eyes were full of longing. Growing up in a small city, she never knew what an art exhibition was.
Seeing her longing look, An Zisu raised his hand and rubbed the little girl's head.
"I'll take you to see it."
Several people walked side by side to the art museum. Along the way, Qian Yi held Yingying's hand to keep her from running around.
Wen Li also noticed from their interactions in the past few days that this little girl was a bit naturally stupid, and her movements were a bit slow and inarticulate.
But she is not stupid, she has all the emotions she should have, and she can also communicate with others.
"Wen Li, when I first met Li Li, I thought you two looked a bit alike, especially when you smiled and the curves of your mouth were similar." An Zisu said.
The similarity between the two people's smiles is simply too high, even though their looks are completely different.
"Does it look like it?" Wen Li smiled slightly.
An Zisu nodded, "Similar, but with different personalities."
Li Li's temperament is more sunny, while Wen Li is like a white plum standing proudly in the snow, with a cold temperament.
The person attending the exhibition is a painter from the post-modern school, with a very different and unique painting style.
They heard that he was a cartoonist in private, so Xi Moqian and Li Li, who had never liked coming to Imperial University, also rushed over.
After wandering around the art gallery, Li Li walked out with a brochure.
"Let's go get something to eat first. I'm almost starving after walking around."
Two girls with long hair walking towards them stopped the two little girls.
"Isn't this classmate Li Li? What brought you back to Imperial University?"
Xi Moqian looked up when she heard the sound. She was the campus beauty of Imperial University and an art major.
A famous fairy.
Huang Ying, who was also the second-ranked student in the fine arts major, was beaten by Li Li.
"Li Li, didn't you take a break from school? Why did you come here today?" Huang Ying asked with a smile.
"You're unhappy when I come over, and I'm not coming to your home." Li Li snorted coldly.
Huang Ying didn't fall out because of her bad attitude. Instead, she smiled gently and said, "You should come back to school as soon as possible. Don't come back when we have graduated and you will become our junior schoolmate."
"Little Ying, stop talking nonsense. She will push you down later. Stay away from this arrogant and domineering woman."
The woman next to Huang Ying pulled her back a step, for fear of offending the two people in front of her.
"She is not a good person, don't mess with her." The female classmate looked at Li Li with disgust.
"We are still in a hurry to see the art exhibition, so I won't talk to you anymore. We will talk when we have time later." Huang Ying and her friends entered the art museum arm in arm.
Xi Moqian wanted to rush up and hit someone, but Li Li held her back.
"Is that the enemy of both of you?"
"Our reputation is already very bad, so don't cause any more trouble." Li Li sighed, with a hint of compromise.
The two of them turned around and saw Wen Li walking over at some point.
Wen Li looked at the two women walking away. They were very fashionable. They were indeed characters you'll feel pity for.
"You two were bullied?" Wen Li glanced at the two female classmates in front of him.
These two little bullies of the imperial capital could still be bullied.
"Stop talking, I'm so angry that I'm going to die." Xi Moqian covered her waist angrily.
An Zisu glanced at the backs of the two girls. That was Huang Ying, the beauty of Imperial University.
It seemed that Li Li had something to do with Huang Ying when she dropped out of school. Some people said that Li Li pushed Huang Ying down the stairs.
"Both of you, you really think it's useful but not useful." Wen Li rarely said something insulting.
Wen Li suddenly said this, and Li Li scratched her ears in embarrassment.
"We have a reason for this."
An Zisu gently pulled Wen Li's sleeve, leaned into her ear and said, "Li Li's reputation in the entire school is not very good."
Not only is she bad, she was once voted the most evil woman in the imperial capital.
She was known as one of the most hated person in the Imperial Capital the year before last.
Even though she has dropped out of school, the person on the list is still firmly at the top.
"Reason?" Wen Li stood with her arms crossed.
Just two paper tigers, Li Li and Xi Moqian, could do some heinous things.
It couldn't be that she had molested a male classmate in school.
"It's all over. What are you talking about? Anyway, I'm on leave from school. I just came here to see the art exhibition today. At worst, I won't come again." Li Li said nonchalantly.
Anyway, it’s a list made by boring people.
If you take it seriously, you are just as stupid as those people.
Wen Li held her forehead, what she said was really full of courage.
A silver-white Bentley RV drove up on the road opposite the art museum. The door slowly opened, and the woman in the back seat looked over.
"That's the second young lady. I didn't expect her to come to school today." Ruiqiu pointed at Li Li and spoke.
Li Langhua's eyes fell on Wen Li beside Li Li, and her pupils suddenly tightened.
"Go and call Li Li over, hurry up."
Ruiqiu saw the old lady's face and could only get out of the car and walk towards a few people.
What the old lady fears most in her heart is losing her granddaughter, whom she has cared for so many years.
After finally growing up so big, Wen Li appeared.
The old lady was afraid that her granddaughter would be taken away.
Li Li was talking to Wen Li when she was frightened by the sudden appearance of Ruiqiu.
"Why are you here?"
Ruiqiu nodded slightly, "Second Miss, the old lady is waiting for you in the car over there. You go first."
"What's grandma doing here at school?"
Recently, there are no activities in the school that require companies to participate, and generally, the activities that require the participation of the Li family are mostly attended by the second uncle.
Why did grandma come to Imperial University for no reason?
"You go there first."
"Qianqian, go to class and don't worry about me."
Li Li waved goodbye to Xi Moqian and skipped to the car.
Ruiqiu gestured to Wen Li, "Miss Wen Li, can we take a moment to talk."
No matter how curious these people were, they didn't have the habit of eavesdropping on other people's conversations. However, they looked over curiously and Ruiqiu took a few steps to the side and then stood still.
"Miss Wen Li, the old lady must have made it very clear last time. You also know our attitude. You should not be so close to the second lady." Ruiqiu spoke in a very polite and educated manner.
"She came to me on her own, not me."
Ruiqiu lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "Of course I know the temperament of the second young lady, and I also know what kind of person you are. There has to be someone who is the bad guy, and I hope that bad guy is you."
"Let me tell you this, although the old lady's body seems to be well maintained, after so many years, it has been emptied out and there is not much left. The second lady is her life and cannot be harmed and taken away by anyone."
Wen Li raised his eyebrows and chuckled. What she said was quite funny.
"You mean, I will take Li Li away?"
Although this was Wen Li's rhetorical question, it made Ruiqiu's heart skip a beat.
Her guess was correct, Wen Li really was.
"The second young lady's surname is Li, and your surname is Wen. You have different surnames, so you are not a family. You must remember what you promised the old lady not to let the Li family do anything."
Ruiqiu helped the old lady say what she wanted to say most.
Also a final warning.
"If I don't agree, what are the Li family going to do? Kidnap me, kill me? Or what?"
The girl in front of her showed no fear at all.
Ruiqiu was also indifferent to the threats from the Li family. Ruiqiu thought of Hua Yan, that beautiful woman.
Wen Li's temperament makes her more suitable to be the head of the Li family than Li Li.
It's a pity that the person who is raised by the old lady is not her.
"That's all I've said. I hope Miss Wen Li can respect herself." Ruiqiu nodded slightly and stepped away from Wen Li.
In fact, Ruiqiu also had doubts in her heart, how could two gentle people like Wen Xuqian and Hua Yan teach Wen Li to have such an arrogant temper.
So aggressive and not retreating at all.
One can only imagine how many bad things they have said about the Li family and the old lady in front of Wen Li over the years.
Only by instilling such thoughts day after day can Wen Li hate the Li family.
She is also a good child, but she was taught to be like this.
After Li Li got in the car, she sat next to the old lady. Seeing her sweating profusely from running, Li Langhua took out a wet wipe and wiped her forehead.
"You look like you're sweating profusely from running. Are you tired from playing?"
Li Li obediently moved her face towards her and closed her eyes, "Grandma, why did you come to school?"
Li Langhua threw away the wet wipes in his hand and said, "Come here to see two old friends."
Looking at his granddaughter's rosy face, Li Langhua smiled brightly, "What about you, you came to school specifically to see the art exhibition today, are you planning to come back to class?"
She has been out of school for such a long time.
If she doesn't enroll in school, other students will graduate, and this child will still be wasting her time here.
"Grandma, why do you mention this again?"
Seeing the little girl turn away, Li Langhua coaxed her, "Okay, okay, grandma won't say anything anymore. If you don't want to go, don't go."
Looking at Wen Li in the distance through the car window, Li Langhua's eyes darkened.
"Lili, do you like Wen Li very much?"
Li Langhua's words seemed a bit abrupt. Li Li thought about it very seriously and nodded.
The first time she met Wen Li, she felt a strange feeling in her heart. As long as she could be with Wen Li, she felt at ease.
This feeling was something neither Li Langhua nor Li Ruobing had given her.
Although Wen Li has a cold temper and tends to ignore her when talking to her, Li Li really likes Wen Li.
I love how she can live so openly and without any scruples.
Li Langhua's heart sank a little as she looked at her granddaughter's energetic appearance.
Is this the telepathy between sisters?
"What's wrong, grandma, don't you like her?" Li Li looked at Li Langhua.
The old lady nodded and said bluntly, "I don't like her."
Li Li was also stunned by the old lady's straightforward statement, but looking at her grandma's cold face, it didn't look like she was joking.
After a while, Li Li patted the old lady's hand and said, "Grandma, are you jealous? Don't worry, my favorite is grandma. I will definitely spend more time with you in the future."
Li Langhua was coaxed by Li Li, and a smile appeared on her face.
"You kid, I can't do anything about you, but you have this temper."
Li Li hugged her grandma and laughed out loud, "Then I am not like this because of your pampering."
The old lady hugged her granddaughter and looked out the window.
Yes, this is the treasure she has pampered for twenty years, how could she give it away so easily.
No one can take her away.
