"Call me Guan Wanwan."
"Ahem..." Old Li coughed for a while before reacting. He looked her up and down for a long time before sighing and saying, "Look closely, the faces are indeed very similar, especially the nose, which is tall and straight."
For some reason, Guan Jibai actually heard a hint of... envy?
"I should have thought of it earlier. After all, there are really few people as beautiful as you."
Guan Wanwan was a famous beauty at the time. She was versatile, gentle, kind, and helpful. She helped many people and was the secret crush of countless men.
There are many people like Jiang Dafeng who dare to speak out, but there are even more people who don’t even have the courage to confess.
"Do you know her?" Guan Jibai knew that his mother had been very successful in the past, but he didn't expect that her network of contacts was so wide.
And it seems that Li Yuqi is not a narrow-minded and prejudiced person, which is a good sign.
"I know her." Recalling his youth, Old Li smiled nostalgically. "Your mother and I were classmates. Oh, and so was Jiang Dafeng. He'd be so surprised if he knew you were Guan Wanwan's daughter!"
I guess it's more than just surprise.
Old Li saw Guan Jibai's surprise and guessed that Guan Wanwan must never mention her past. He felt nostalgic but couldn't say much. Since Guan Wanwan herself didn't want to talk about it, he, as an outsider, shouldn't say anything more.
"When your mother was young, she was a famous figure in our school. She was the top student and was gentle and kind. No one in the school disliked her."
"Everyone?"
"Um...it seems that some female classmates like to say bad things about her behind her back, but no one believes it. Anyone who dares to say bad things about your mother will be punished." Perhaps he thought of something funny, and Lao Li smiled a little mischievously.
Guan Jibai's forehead was covered with black lines. She could already imagine her own mother's vixen, how she became the most powerful green tea in the 1980s.
They are the culprits.
"It's getting late. I should go back. Goodbye." Guan Jibai bowed politely to Lao Li while holding an umbrella.
"etc."
"Huh?" Guan Jibai turned around in surprise and found that Li Yuqi looked a little embarrassed and hesitant. "Teacher Li, you are my mother's old classmate. It's only natural for me to call you Uncle Li. If you have anything to say, just say it directly."
"Uncle Li? Would you like to call me Uncle Li?" Old Li rubbed his hands excitedly and forgot what he wanted to say just now.
Guan Jibai had a strange expression on his face, "Of course I am willing, Uncle Li." After saying that, he smiled sweetly, which could melt people's hearts.
Old Li is a forty-year-old, mature and elegant professor. He was so excited when Guan Jibai called him "Uncle" that his face turned red. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
"Xiaobai, uncle didn't even get you a welcome gift. No, there's also a red envelope, and yes, clothes and shoes. You need to buy all of these. You've been in the countryside for so many years, you must have suffered a lot, and life must have been very difficult."
Old Li was a little incoherent for a while, thinking of this and that.
Guan Jibai's expression became increasingly strange, but her heart grew calmer. She didn't believe anyone would be kind to someone for no reason. The original owner's past life had such a tragic fate; even if someone could lend a hand, she wouldn't be so desperate.
But no one reached out.
In this life, she doesn't believe that her luck will be better than the original owner.
"I'm sorry I scared you." Old Li finally calmed down, realizing that his behavior had frightened people. After taking a deep breath, he said self-reproachfully, "I'm ashamed to say this! When the news of Wanwan's pregnancy got out, I faced a lot of condemnation and pressure. Some people even forced her..."
