Huo Yuanchen arrived quickly. However, he did not come alone, but with An Wen. The latter was still carrying a schoolbag, as if she had hurried over after class.

In the Huo family villa, everyone sat down, and their seats were also very subtle. Wen Li naturally sat with Qi Meizhen, Huo Yuanchen sat next to Huo Mingqi, and the most intriguing one was An Wen, she sat next to Lili, shoulder to shoulder, seeming very familiar and close.

As soon as she entered the room, An Wen hugged Lili's arm and asked her affectionately, "Auntie Li, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."

Lili also naturally took Anwen's arm and said, "I brought a lot of gifts back from abroad for you. They are all in Yuanchen's room. You can choose first later."

An Wen was so happy that she cheered loudly, causing Maggie Cheung to look at her frequently.

Wen Li called Huo Yuanchen back because she hoped he could take her away. However, even though he came back, he didn't even look at her and just chatted with Huo Mingqi.

Huo Mingqi asked him, "Are you sure about your job title evaluation this year?"

Huo Yuanchen replied calmly but sincerely, "It's not a big problem."

Huo Mingqi nodded and asked, "Do you think we should increase Huo's sponsorship of Haishi University?"

Huo Yuanchen said, "I don't understand business matters. If my father thinks it is necessary, then he will add it. However, from my point of view, some laboratory equipment should indeed be updated."

Huo Mingqi waved his hand and said, "If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. Since you think it's time to change it, then change it. Money is not a problem. Huo's will cover it all."

Wen Li was confused and didn't understand why Huo Mingqi cared so much about Huo Yuanchen's career. In her opinion, the Huo family was big and powerful, and as a businessman, shouldn't Huo Mingqi hope that his son would inherit his father's business?

Lili smiled and said to Huo Yuanchen, "The Huo family has a lot of money by your father's generation, and they don't care about making money anymore. Your father originally hoped that you would go into politics and bring honor to the Huo family, but unfortunately you are not interested in politics, so your father can only find another way. I hope you can leave your name in academic history. The good reputation of the Huo family in the future depends on you."

Huo Mingqi nodded with satisfaction, "Lili really understands me. She is knowledgeable and has a broad vision. She hit the nail on the head right away."

After saying this, he looked at Michelle Yim with a look of disappointment.

Wen Li felt that someone had grabbed the sofa cushion beneath her fiercely.

Huo Yuanchen said expressionlessly, "Dad, don't worry about academic matters. I know what's going on."

Huo Mingqi hummed and said calmly, "I believe in your ability, but my family has no connections in the academic world. It's too slow for you to fight alone. It would be great if someone could help you."

Lili immediately covered her mouth and laughed, "Didn't Yuanchen's old professor like him very much when he was studying? I heard that he even wanted to marry his daughter to him."

Wen Li had never heard of this. He looked up at Huo Yuanchen and their eyes met in the air. His gaze finally fell on An Wen. He seemed to be trying to comfort the little girl and said lightly, "My junior sister is a female and likes girls."

An Wen was obviously relieved and smiled sweetly at Huo Yuanchen.

Huo Mingqi had been listening attentively, but now he was not interested. He turned to look at Michelle Yim, ignoring his wife's depressed face , and said dissatisfiedly , "You don't understand what we are talking about, why don't you go to the kitchen to see if lunch is ready. Letting you stay at home is not only a blessing, but also what you should do yourself. Do you need me to teach you?"

Michelle Yim's expression changed.

Wen Li was close to her and saw that she clenched her hands tightly, with her nails digging into her palms.

When the Wen family lived in the same neighborhood as the Huo family, the Huo family looked down on the self-made Wen family, thinking that the Wen family was nouveau riche and that living together lowered the Huo family's taste. Only Maggie Cheung didn't think so. She would occasionally ask Hu Huifen to go shopping, and often invited Wen Li to the Huo family to play, teaching her how to bake cakes and make chocolates to woo her son.

Because of the affection they had in the past, Wen Li couldn't bear to see Michelle Yim suffering so much.

She stood up and said, "Aunt Qi, let me help you."

Michelle Yim turned around and smiled at her, but she didn't refuse after all.

In fact, they didn't need to do anything in the kitchen, they just needed to watch the servants cook. But it was ironic that they could hear the laughter from the living room while hiding in the kitchen.

Wen Li thought, she was an outsider, and the Huo family didn't take her seriously, but Qi Meizhen was obviously the mistress of the Huo family, but she was ignored like this by Huo Mingqi. How sad she must be.

Halfway through lunch, Wen Li received a message from Huo Yuanchen asking her to go out for a while. She thought he might be sending her off, so she found an excuse to leave.

Outside the villa, Huo Yuanchen was waiting for her as expected. He was not wearing a coat, only a light gray shirt. His hair was combed meticulously, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, and he was sitting in a chair, looking down at his phone.

Hearing the sound of high heels, he didn't turn around, but just said, "Come and sit."

Wen Li walked over, sat down next to him, and said, "I was dragged here by your mother. Please help me explain. I want to leave. I still have a lot of things to do in the studio."

Huo Yuanchen glanced at her and said calmly, "Normally it's okay, but not today. Aunt Li is here, and my dad will be unhappy if you leave now. Put your studio's affairs on hold for now. If there is any financial loss, I will compensate you."

Wen Li was a little speechless. Some losses cannot be compensated by economic means alone. She promised the client a release date, and if she didn't deal with it now, she would have to work overtime in the evening.

"Who is that Lili? Why does your father smile so happily when she comes? He even has fewer wrinkles on his face. I even seem to smell that your father has sprayed perfume." Wen Li said.

Huo Yuanchen sneered and said, "You don't need to be sarcastic. Our family has always been like this. You can see that my father and mother don't get along. It was my grandfather who chose my mother, so the two of them had to be together. It's better to say that they torture each other than to say they are husband and wife."

Wen Li curled her lips in disdain. She didn't see that Michelle Chik was torturing Huo Mingqi, she only saw Huo Mingqi ordering Michelle Chik around.

She asked curiously, "So, your father cheated on you later? He got involved with this Lili?"

Huo Yuanchen raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "I noticed that you have a lot of opinions about my dad?"

Wen Li nodded honestly, "That's right. I really despise cheating men."

Huo Yuanchen said casually, "You are quite principled. I have to be more careful in the future."

Wen Li blinked, a little surprised that he was getting into the role a little strangely.

Perhaps Huo Yuanchen also realized that there was something wrong with what he said just now, and he quickly changed the subject and explained to Wen Li, "Aunt Li was my father's first love. They had to separate because of some things. Later, she became a widower and had a hard time. When my father found out, he reached out to help her."

Wen Li suddenly realized, "So, this Lili is your father's white moonlight? Huo Yuanchen, your family has quite a lot of white moonlights."
