Chen Li patiently coaxed Wen Ying.

Wen Ying's eyes welled up with tears.

At this time, not only did her aunt adore her, but her uncle, Deng Shangwei, also held a great fondness for her. Perhaps due to the mischievousness of her two little cousins, her uncle yearned for a daughter. He would frequently remark that Wen Ying was his beloved eldest daughter.

When Wen Ying was in kindergarten, it was also the time when Chen Ru was busiest at work. Chen Li had to secretly date Deng Shangwei while helping Chen Ru bring up her children after school at that time. Deng Shangwei didn't mind starting to take care of a child in adacance in order to talk to Chen Li for a while longer.

Deng Shangwei was riding an old-style bike, with Chen Li on the back seat and Wen Ying in the basket.

From the moment they fell in love and embarked on the journey of marriage and parenthood, Wen Ying's influence permeated every aspect of their lives. Even before they had their own children, they gained experiences from bringing up Wen Ying... If only Deng Shangwei hadn't committed that regrettable error!

Wen Ying was on the verge of tears, "Did uncle really say that? Then tell him to come and see me tomorrow. If he doesn't come, I won't be able to eat anything!"

Chen Li couldn't help but chuckle, "You're just a kid! Alright, alright, stop acting like a brat. I'll arrange for him to come tomorrow. As for tonight, I'll keep you company. You've been through three consecutive days of high school entrance exam, and your parents look exhausted. It's best for them to go home and get some rest. They have work tomorrow."

Wen Ying could take care of herself and didn't need anyone to accompany her.

If Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong had offered to stay and accompany her, Wen Ying would have refused. However, if it had been Chen Li, Wen Ying would have been more than willing to stay by her side.

Just as she was about to agree, she remembered that Deng Jie and Deng Hao needed someone to take care of them, so she asked Chen Li to return to the provincial capital.

Chen Li shook her head and said, "No problem. Our nanny, Yaomei, is at home. She can take care of the two naughty boys for a few nights."

The last time Chen Li saw Wen Ying was more than a month ago. Later, in order to make Wen Ying concentrate on the high school entrance exam, Chen Li did not dare to take Wen Ying to the provincial capital on the weekend.

Chen Li had watched Wen Ying grow up, and she loved her dearly.

When she was a child, Wen Ying was a very cute and intelligent little girl. For some reason, she became more and more introverted as she grew up. Saying introverted was a nice way of saying that. In Chen Li's opinion, her sister Chen Ru and brother-in-law Wen Dongrong exerted excessive control over Wen Ying, leaving her subdued.

However, Wen Ying was the daughter of Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong. Chen Li had no right to interfere in how the couple educated her.

Chen Li sometimes expressed some of her own views, but Chen Ru instead came out with a rebuttal about Chen Li and Deng Shangwei's early love affair at school. Chen Ru believed that if Chen Li hadn't been distracted by Deng Shangwei in the first place, how would she have failed to even get into college. Chen Ru said that she had learned a lesson from Chen Li, so she had to restrain Wen Ying well.

Chen Li sighed secretly.

"I heard from your parents that you've been slowed down by your illness in the high school entrance exam, so you might not get the desired grade. Don't think too much about it. This summer vacation, you can have fun if you want. I'll ask your uncle to find connections. We'll spend money if needed. We can definitely get you into a high school in Rongcheng City."

Chen Li comforted Wen Ying and promised Wen Ying that she would definitely get Wen Ying into her favorite high school.

In fact, it had been over thirty minutes since Chen Li hurriedly arrived at the hospital from Rongcheng City when Wen Ying regained consciousness. Chen Ru informed Wen Dongrong that Wen Ying did not succeed in the high school entrance exam. Chen Li reassured them not to blame the child, emphasizing that Wen Ying had no intention of falling ill.

Chen Ru also mentioned that Wen Ying caught a cold due to her visit to Rongcheng in early June and getting caught in the rain. She indirectly expressed her dissatisfaction with Chen Li for not driving Wen Ying back then. Wen Ying went to have fun with a dozen of her classmates, and Chen Li believed that her niece should learn to be independent. Consequently, she let the group of high school students had one-day fun in Rongcheng City and returned home by bus.

Upon hearing Chen Ru's words, Chen Li promptly suggested that she and her husband, Deng Shangwei, would be bribed to send Wen Ying to a key high school in Rongcheng City.

Now, there were still some independent enrollment slots in key high schools. If they could find the person in charge and get a place. They only needed to pay the amount of money related to the gap between Wen Ying's score and the admission score line to enroll Wen Ying. Of course, this was just the money spent on the surface. The cost incurred to establish connections for getting an enrollment slot would be considerably higher.

Chen Li meant well, but both Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong were unhappy with her suggestion, so Chen Li temporarily stopped talking about it.

At this time, she confidently promised Wen Ying, hoping that Wen Ying would not have too much pressure and worry about the failure of the high school entrance exam.

Wen Ying smiled and told Chen Li in a low voice,

"Aunt, I have a secret to share with you. Honestly, I believe I performed well on the exam this time, but my parents refuse to believe me. You know they are adamant about their opinions and won't be convinced until presented with concrete evidence. Aunt, don't argue with them. Let them voice their opinions freely!"

Chen Li was surprised and delighted, "You're not lying to me?"

Wen Ying nodded, "I think I can reach the provincial key enrollment line. When the results are announced, I will go to participate in the provincial key enrollment examination."

In her previous life, Wen Ying failed in the high school entrance exam and only got 91 points in English. As a result, she fell well below the admission line of provincial key high school.

In 2004, high schools in Rongcheng enrolled students according to district, but this policy was not strict. For example, if a student from a county or city under Rongcheng City was not in a certain district and wanted to enroll in a major high school in that particular district, he or she could study in the across-district high school as long as he or she reached the high school's admissions line and took the high school's admissions test one more time.

Wen Ying was reborn at the site of the English test of the high school entrance exam. At that time, she didn't figure out the situation and thought she was dreaming.

She was now very glad that she had finished the test paper seriously.

Regardless of the circumstances, it was not a mere 91 points as in her previous existence.

The middle school English was too simple for her now. Wen Ying felt that even if she couldn't get full marks, her grades would be better than the pre-tests.

However, even if she told the truth, Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong would not believe her.

On the contrary, Chen Li believed whatever Wen Ying said.

Seeing that Wen Ying said she did well in the exam, Chen Li was delighted. She, in the ward, took out her cell phone and called Deng Shangwei.

After making the initial call, there was a prolonged period of no response.

Chen Li made a second call and it was answered promptly.

Before Chen Li could say anything, Wen Ying reached out to take her phone and greeted, "Uncle." A surge of emotions overwhelmed her, rendering her voice trembling with sobs.

Deng Shangwei anxiously inquired about the cause of Wen Ying's distress on the other end of the phone. Wen Ying said that she was uncomfortable.

Deng Shangwei coaxed her, saying that he would come over tomorrow.

Wen Ying continued groaning. Deng Shangwei immediately changed his mind and said that he would come over tonight.

Wen Ying returned the phone to Chen Li. Chen Li ordered Deng Shangwei to drive carefully before hanging up.

"Hey kid, are you happy now? Your uncle is having a dinner meeting tonight with those seafood suppliers. It's Only you have the power to make him put aside his social engagements!"

Wen Ying also laughed.

However, her eyes were devoid of a genuine smile.

Deng Shangwei ran a seafood wholesale company. In 2004, cold chain transportation was not yet developed. Sichuan Province was located in the southwest basin, far from the sea area. Seafood can rarely be found on the table in Sichuan Province. At this time, seafood was only considered to be transported from the sea, which was not considered to be fresh. The more this was the case, the more profitable the seafood business was. This was how Deng Shangwei made his fortune. Wen Ying later estimated that in 2004, Deng Shangwei's net worth should be over ten million yuan for his uncle.

Before the real estate market boom, 10 million yuan was considered a substantial amount. This was precisely why Deng Shangwei became the target.

Wen Ying glanced at her aunt, Chen Li. Perhaps, with the advantage of her rebirth, she could make a difference, not just for herself but also for her aunt's family.
