The news of Wen Li and Meng Jinnian's reunion spread throughout the circle of rich second-generations in Hai City that day.

Meng Jinnian has a group, which is full of rich second-generations with the same family background as him. Wen Li agreed to get back together with him, and he got what he wanted. He was so happy that he wanted to announce it to the whole world.

Naturally, the news of his reunion with Wen Li was also announced in the group.

"It's the same as before. From now on, you have to call me sister-in-law. If anyone offends Wen Li, it means they have offended me. Don't blame me for not caring about our friendship."

He even showed Wen Li the group message, trying to please her, "Look, they all call you sister-in-law."

Wen Li didn't dare to be interested, but Meng Jinnian was too much like a puppy who only wanted praise, so she followed his wishes and looked at the chat history.

Amid the screen full of “Hello, sister-in-law”, Huo Yuanchen’s words “You have such a bad taste” are out of place.

She said to him in her heart, you have bad vision.

Fortunately, Huo Yuanchen's words were quickly countered, so she didn't see it and wasn't bothered by it.

Wen Li returned the phone to Meng Jinnian and went to the kitchen to help.

Meng Jinnian asked in the group, "Does anyone know Professor Karl from Country M? There is a generous reward."

Someone joked with him, "Why is Brother Meng asking about professors in Country M? At your age, are you planning to study abroad? Are you willing to leave your sister-in-law alone?"

Meng Jinnian replied, "Go away, stop joking. I'm serious. Wen Li's father is sick, and I'm going to Professor Karl to buy medicine."

Someone @ed Huo Yuanchen, "If we're talking about the professor, among our group, only Brother Huo might know him."

Meng Jinnian also @ him and asked, "Can you help me?"

After a long while, Huo Yuanchen replied to them, "It's not convenient."

When others asked him again, he remained silent.

Later, someone found a photo of him and An Wen on New Year's Eve from somewhere, posted it to the group, and laughed at him, "I thought Brother Huo was busy with some big project, but it turns out that he is just like Brother Meng, showing his courtesy at his mother-in-law's house."

Meng Jinnian also saw it and went to chat with him privately, "Thanks, brother."

After a long time, Huo Yuanchen finally had time to reply, "You're welcome."

Then he asked, "Will you stay at the Wen family tonight?"

Meng Jinnian replied with a "Yes" emoticon with a bit of boasting.

Huo Yuanchen replied to him, "From behind, it feels good."

This sentence successfully made Meng Jinnian's face darken, and he refused to stay for dinner no matter what.

Wen Li asked others to eat first and said, "I'll find him a hotel. He doesn't have to wait for me."

After leaving, Meng Jinnian asked her, "How long are you going to stay here?"

Wen Li shook his head. "I don't know yet. It depends on my uncle's arrangement. It will probably be after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."

Meng Jinnian nodded, "Then I'll pick you up on the fifth day."

"good."

Wen Li booked him the best hotel nearby.

Meng Jinnian took the room card and asked her half-jokingly and half-tentatively, "Why don't you stay here tonight?"

Wen Li shook his head, "No, I have to go visit relatives with my family early tomorrow morning, it's not convenient to stay here."

Meng Jinnian smiled meaninglessly and looked at her, neither saying anything good nor bad.

After a long while, seeing that Wen Li had no intention of changing his mind, he nodded, "Okay, go to bed early."

"good."

On the way back, Wen Li received a call from Huo Yuanchen. He didn't speak, only the sound of his breathing came through the receiver.

Wen Li called him twice, but still didn't hear him speak. Instead, he heard An Wen's delicate voice calling him "Brother Yuanchen" clearly.

She guessed that Huo Yuanchen might have accidentally touched the dial button and made the wrong call, but she didn't take it seriously and hung up decisively.

In the next few days, Wen Li either went to the hospital for injections or visited relatives. He was so busy that the days passed faster.

In a blink of an eye, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year had passed. Meng Jinnian came to pick her up as agreed and brought her good news.

"There's a friend I don't know very well, Lin Yue, who said he happens to have Professor Carl's contact information. You can add him and talk to him in person."

Wen Li was overjoyed and quickly added Lin Yue as her friend. The other party was also very straightforward. After listening to her explanation of her purpose, he enthusiastically helped to make connections.

When Wen Li returned to Hai City, Professor Carl had already agreed to sell Pratt to her at a price 10% higher than the market price.

Wen Li was so excited that he said "thank you" to Lin Yue several times and said he would treat him to a meal.

But it was rejected, with the reason being, "I'm afraid someone will get jealous."

Wen Li thought that maybe Lin Yue had a girlfriend and was consciously keeping a distance from the opposite sex, so she felt more favorable towards Lin Yue and transferred a big red envelope to him as a thank you fee.

During the Chinese New Year, there were parties everywhere. Meng Jinnian finally got back together with Wen Li, so naturally he wanted to show off everywhere, dragging Wen Li to attend four or five parties a week.

I don’t know if he deliberately chose the places where Huo Yuanchen participated, but Wen Li would meet Huo Yuanchen every time.

However, even if they bumped into each other face to face, he pretended not to know her and completely ignored her. He also brought An Wen with him, and he protected the little girl very well. When someone came to persuade him to drink, he blocked it for An Wen.

At first, An Wen was very nervous when she saw Wen Li. She refused to leave Huo Yuanchen for even a step, as if she was afraid that Wen Li would steal her things. She even followed Wen Li secretly when he went to the bathroom, and when they were in a place where there was no one, she warned Wen Li in a harsh tone.

"Stay away from Brother Yuanchen, otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

Wen Li ignored her and shook his hands vigorously after washing them, and all the water droplets went onto An Wen's face.

"You wait." An Wen pointed at her and turned away.

Wen Li was not in a hurry to go out. She slowly touched up her makeup in front of the mirror, taking a long time to give the little girl enough time.

Sure enough, when she went back, An Wen was waiting for her on the road, with Huo Yuanchen standing behind her.

She knew that Huo Yuanchen was here to vent An Wen's anger, but so what? She had a new channel and was no longer afraid of offending Huo Yuanchen.

"Hey, Professor Huo, bring your students to play."

Wen Li took the initiative to go over and say hello, and pronounced the word "student" particularly clearly and loudly.

Huo Yuanchen frowned in displeasure.

Wen Li grinned. She loved to wear brightly colored lipstick, and the bright red color made her lips look very sexy.

"I heard that before the holiday, Professor Huo begged and pleaded for you, his student, to have a chance to take a make-up exam. School is about to start, why are you still playing around? Have you reviewed well? Can you pass the make-up exam? You won't fail the make-up exam and cry again, leaving Professor Huo to clean up the mess, right?"

She has always been eloquent, and her series of soul-searching questions successfully made An Wen cry breathlessly.

"Brother Yuanchen..."

"Hey, how come Professor Huo's students don't know how to respect their teachers? This is the professor who teaches you how to study, and you're calling him teacher. How rude of you to call him so."

Huo Yuanchen finally couldn't help it and said in a deep voice, "Wen Li, that's enough. You think you are good enough to bully a little girl?"

Wen Li pouted, still not able to swallow the anger in her heart, "Is this called bullying? Huo Yuanchen, don't forget, what you did to me was even worse."

Huo Yuanchen smiled without any warmth, and walked towards her, his eyes sweeping over her chest intentionally or unintentionally. It was hot in the club, and she didn't wear a coat. Her tight sweater made her chest look tight, and with that bright face, she looked extremely lustful.

His Adam's apple moved and he spoke in a very soft voice, but his tone was very ambiguous.

"What did I do to you? Huh?"

Wen Li didn't say anything.

He used his body to shield himself and reached out to pinch Wen Li's buttocks hard.

"like this?"
