The relationship between Song Li and Huo Siyuan becomes increasingly tense.
Despite her objections, Huo Siyuan assigned Song Li several female bodyguards to keep her company, preventing males from approaching her. He even began to suppress the Shen family and families interested in marrying into the Huo family.
Rumors spread that the Huo family was at odds with their father and son, with Huo Shaoting prioritizing his adopted daughter, Song Li. He even wanted Song Li to marry into a family and have a child as the heir, which would have affected Huo Siyuan's position, so Huo Siyuan blocked his plan.
The marriage between Song and Li has become a means of bargaining between the father and son of the Huo family.
After all, Huo Shaoting has gradually become disadvantaged in the fight between him and his son Huo Siyuan over the years. It is no exaggeration for Huo Siyuan to say that the disciple is better than the master. Compared with his father, he is more thoughtful and ruthless.
Once Huo Siyuan wins, Song Li, the adopted daughter of the Huo family who is arrogant and domineering because of Huo Shaoting's favor, is said to have a relationship with Huo Siyuan that is as bad as fire and water. It is conceivable how miserable it will be.
Everyone in the circle was waiting to see Song Li make a fool of himself.
Song Li is the campus beauty of Central China University of Fine Arts, one of the best universities in the industry. She majored in painting, achieved excellent results, and gained some fame.
Huo Shaoting once held several grand art exhibitions for her. His three points of talent were blown out to ten points, and Song Li became a gifted young and talented painter.
It's just the power of capital.
In reality, Song Li wasn't interested in this field. She had chosen this major in the college entrance exam entirely because of Huo Shaoting's suggestion. This seemingly generous, tolerant, and doting adoptive father was actually extremely stubborn in this regard and wouldn't tolerate any arguments.
"Your mother is a painter. As her daughter, you should inherit her legacy."
Song Li's college entrance examination application was easily tampered with, and she was admitted to one of the best art universities in the country, which is said to be her mother's alma mater.
Apart from attending some professional courses that he was interested in, Song Li lacked interest and often skipped classes. After more than half a year of school, the total time he spent in school was less than a month.
Huo Shaoting didn't care about her, and the school could only turn a blind eye. As long as Song Li completed all the course credits, she could come or not.
The campus of China Academy of Fine Arts is rich in artistic flair, with unique architecture, vibrant colors, and a beautiful and sophisticated layout. Entering it feels like touring a series of different paintings. Every step brings a new scene, and every ten steps brings a new gallery.
While universities in China are generally open to the public, the campus of Yanghua University is a Class 4A tourist attraction, requiring outsiders to purchase a ticket. The craft gallery and colorful buildings have become a must-see for tourists.
Today is not the weekend, so there are not many visitors on campus. Students, either alone or in groups of three or five, walk around the campus carrying easels and various tools, their young faces full of vitality.
Wherever Song Li walked, people turned their heads to look at him. Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look at him, and then couldn't help but lower their heads to peek at him and whisper to each other.
On the first day of school, someone secretly took a photo of Song Li and uploaded it to the campus website. Song Li inexplicably became the campus belle of Central China University of Science and Technology. In addition, she was well-dressed and was always picked up and dropped off by luxury cars. Many people speculated that she was a rich second-generation, the eldest daughter of a wealthy family.
Because the Huo family protected her information very strictly, unless people in the circle knew about it, most people did not know that she was the adopted daughter of the Huo family.
Gradually, the rumors changed their nature. Song Li became the little canary lover kept by a rich old man. The private gossip became more and more unpleasant, revealing strong malice and contempt.
Song Li is naturally indifferent and doesn't like to socialize with others. Even when he comes to school to attend classes, he almost always comes alone and leaves as soon as the get out of class is over. He doesn't care about such rumors at all.
First, no one dared to go up to her and say anything behind her back, and second, she herself didn't care about such things. As a result, the story became more and more popular, and most of the students believed it to be true.
Most people who can study art come from well-off families, so they particularly look down on Song Li, who "relied on her looks to seduce men and be kept by them." She's just a shady mistress, toyed with by some greasy, bald, middle-aged man. Why is she so arrogant? Why does she look down on others?
However, these rumors were spread privately and no one dared to say anything in front of Song Li.
But today…
"Haha, you brought a few bodyguards with you. Do you really think you're some wealthy lady?"
"This kind of woman is so vain and pretentious, she deserves to be abandoned."
"It's true that the lowest of low people are invincible. How shameless! After being abandoned by her sponsor, she actually wants him to help her find a rich husband to take over..."
"This is disgusting! How could someone like Song Li exist? He plagiarizes other people's work and passes it off as his own. He's a disgrace and a scum. He brings down the quality of our school!"
"Song Li is a disgusting, despicable bitch with no moral bottom line. She should be expelled from school."
Song Li: “…”
Sometimes having good hearing is a bit of a problem.
Song Li clenched and unclenched his fingers, then turned his head to glance at the two bodyguards behind him.
The two female bodyguards that Huo Siyuan Anxin arranged for her both had buzz cuts and looked heroic, and it was difficult to tell whether they were male or female. They had sharp eyes and followed behind her without giving an inch.
Looks like he can fight pretty well.
You can find something to do.
Song Li strode up to the two girls who were talking very excitedly. When the two girls looked up, they saw the person who had just said bad things about them suddenly appeared in front of them. They were startled and felt a little guilty, as if they had been caught saying bad things about someone behind their back.
However, when she saw Song Li's cold face, which was not made up but still gorgeous and delicate, making people unable to look away, the girl's guilty conscience was immediately replaced by disgust and jealousy.
