Lu Ke hung up the phone quickly, but he looked unhappy and as if he had a headache.

Wen Li glanced at him. She was embarrassed to ask about other people's private affairs.

Instead, it was Lu Ke who spoke first, "It's my ex-girlfriend. I don't know who told her that I had returned to China, and she wanted to get back together with me."

Wen Li ate the rice in the bowl without saying a word.

She felt that Lu Ke just wanted to talk to her, and she should just be a tree hole and there was no need for her to make any comments.

Sure enough, Lu Ke rubbed his brows and smiled at her gently, "I'm sorry to make you laugh. I'm already in my thirties and I haven't solved my personal problems yet. This time when I returned to China, my parents kept urging me and even arranged a blind date for me. Half of the reason I went out this time was because I was hiding from home."

Wen Li comforted him, "My brother hasn't solved his personal problems yet. My parents said that marriage depends on fate. Otherwise, if unsuitable people are forced together, life will definitely not be good."

Lu Ke patted his forehead and said, "I wish I had parents as open-minded as yours."

He paused, squinted his eyes, raised the corners of his eyes, looked at Wen Li in a somewhat sly way, and said, "Little Wen Li, the man you brought with you last time was quite handsome. Isn't your boyfriend worried that you came so far away by yourself?"

Wen Li sighed and said helplessly, "What? He is not my boyfriend. We broke up a long time ago. In fact, I have broken up with three men this year. I feel so unlucky. The men I met were all scumbags. I don't want to date anymore. Anyway, my family is not urging me."

Lu Ke smiled and said, "If you can't find a good man, then just stay single. Dating takes a lot of energy, how can it be as exciting as making money?"

Wen Li stared at him blankly for a while, then suddenly laughed, "You're right, I still need to make more money. When I have money, I'll go pick up some handsome boys. I won't even look at any guy who doesn't have eight-pack abs."

Lu Ke clinked glasses with her and said, "I wish your dream will come true soon."

During dinner, Lu Ke asked her where she was going. When he learned that she was going to Xinfeng Village, he said, "I'm just passing by there. You can follow me. The road conditions here are not very good. Don't let your car get stuck again."

Wen Li was overjoyed and immediately nodded in agreement.

With Lu Ke leading the way, Wen Li had a much smoother journey this time and soon arrived at Xinfeng Village.

When they parted, Lu Ke asked her, "How long are you going to stay here? If it's three to five days, I'll wait for you to come back together."

Wen Li shook his head, "I'll stay longer, maybe about a month."

Lu Ke shrugged regretfully, "I can't wait that long. Well, Xiao Wenli, see you later."

Wen Li nodded and waved goodbye to him.

But she knew in her heart that what Lu Ke said was just a polite remark. He seemed to be very busy, answering many phone calls along the way. She heard him bargaining with people. She didn't know what kind of business he was doing, but the figures were tens of millions and up.

The village chief of Xinfeng Village had been waiting for her for a long time. When he saw her finally arrive, he asked about the road conditions and then took her to the farm where she was going to stay.

This place is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Although it is all in the same village, the households are not close to each other. There are many mountain roads and cars cannot drive through. You have to walk, and it takes more than half an hour to walk there.

Along the way, Wen Li saw small bridges and flowing water, fruit trees and crops all over the mountains. He also saw many families taking advantage of the rain to spread the picked peppers, corn, wild vegetables and other vegetables on the roof to dry in the sun. The red, yellow and green colors complemented each other, creating a very picturesque scene.

She was itching to take photos and took several pictures of the countryside.

The village chief said cheerfully, "You city people come here and find everything strange. I've lived here all my life and I'm tired of seeing all this."

Wen Li smiled and said, "The city has its prosperity, and the countryside has its beauty. In my eyes, both are worth recording."

The village chief led her to the place, gave her a brief introduction and left. Before leaving, he said, "There will be more people coming from the city tomorrow. I have to go back and arrange a place for them to stay."

Wen Li nodded and told the village chief to get busy.

The next day, when she was taking photos of the oldest grandmother in the village, her granddaughter came back from outside and chirped, "Someone from the city is coming, and the village chief asked me to call someone to help entertain them."

After saying that, he stuffed a piece of candy into her mother-in-law's pocket and said, "This is given by the people in the city. It's sweet. Grandma, have it."

Grandma stood up with a smile and invited Wen Li, "Let's go together. Our place is poor and remote, and it's rare for people to come. Let's go and see what's going on."

The people who were taking photos had all left, so Wen Li followed them out. Along the way, he saw many people coming out of their homes, carrying a lot of food, and walking towards the village committee.

Wen Li thought that a very important person must have come.

When she walked to the village committee and saw Huo Yuanchen sitting opposite the village chief, she felt sick.

She turned around and walked back.

Huo Yuanchen had already seen her. He said a few words to the village chief, who immediately called Wen Li, "Photographer Wen, come here quickly. What a coincidence, you and Professor Huo know each other. This is really great, and it will be convenient for me to arrange it."

In addition to Yu Jingchen, the people who came to help the farmers this time also included teachers from the Publicity Department of the School of Life Sciences. They had met Wen Li during the school anniversary celebration before, so they naturally knew each other. Seeing him, they hurriedly greeted him, "Wen Li, I didn't expect you to be here too. This is really great. I originally regretted that I came too hastily and didn't find a suitable photographer. My photography skills are really not good enough, and you being here really solved my urgent need."

As he said that, he gave up his seat to Wen Li.

In front of so many people, Wen Li felt embarrassed to refuse, so he greeted the other party and sat down quietly.

The village chief explained to everyone the content of Huo Yuanchen and his team's assistance to farmers, which were all very practical measures, and the villagers applauded.

After lunch, we started to arrange things and everyone was busy.

The teacher from the Publicity Department took Wen Li's hand and said, "The budget is a little low this time, but I can't ask you for help for nothing. Can you take photos for us first? As for the expenses, I will apply for them from the academy when I return to school?"

After hearing about their arrangements for this trip, Wen Li felt that it was a very meaningful thing, so he agreed.

She thought that there were quite a few people coming, so she just needed to try not to contact Huo Yuanchen and take more photos of other teachers to promote the college.

The villagers got up early and went to bed early. As soon as it got dark, there were almost no people on the village road. Others followed the local customs and returned to their respective farmhouses.

The house where Wen Li stayed only had an elderly lady. Her husband passed away early, and her son and daughter-in-law were working outside. The old lady was used to living alone and liked quietness.

She would go back early so as not to disturb her mother-in-law's rest.

However, what she didn't expect was that when she went up to the attic and went to the room where she was staying, Huo Yuanchen was there with his suitcase open, and was taking out his things one by one.

Wen Li's face suddenly turned very ugly.
