September, early morning when the temperature has just begun to drop.
The news, which she somehow got, had climbed to the top of the headlines: "[Lin Tongtong, the adopted daughter of the Xia Group, was kidnapped but the attempt failed!]" Upon receiving the news, Li Rui hurriedly returned to China from overseas. When the investigation revealed that she had actually run away from Lu Yan's villa, Li Rui frowned even more. After hesitating for a moment, she dialed the number that she had thought she would never dial after Xia Yixin's death.
The call was answered shortly after, and she said urgently, "Lu Yan, I think we need to talk. I know you've been isolating yourself since Xia died, but Lin Tongtong is only sixteen, you..."
"Xia Yixin, is she dead?"
The man's voice on the other end of the phone made Li Rui choke. She instinctively thought he hadn't accepted reality yet, and unconsciously softened her tone, "Lu Yan, I'm just as sad as you, but you have to look forward. You... hello? Hello?"
The call was suddenly disconnected. When Li Rui dialed back, the other party's phone was switched off.
Li Rui sensed an ominous premonition and immediately left the company, asking her driver to take her to Lu Yan's villa.
Along the way, Li Rui's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past.
Ten years have passed.
Xia Yixin has been gone for five years, and no one wants to think about it.
Li Rui still remembers Lu Yan, whose eyes were lifeless at her funeral. At that moment, she felt as if Lu Yan's soul had been taken away with Xia Yixin's untimely death.
Over the past decade, Lu Yan has developed Yixin Pharmaceutical Company into the strongest in the world, but Li Rui can see that he is still in great pain.
She dared not imagine what foolish things Lu Yan, as powerful as he was, might do.
However, that's how people are; the more eager they are to get something done, the more likely they are to run into problems along the way. Li Rui's car got stuck in traffic halfway there.
The driver ran ahead to inquire and only then learned the truth. He hurriedly reported, "Mr. Li, there's a university freshmen's orientation event up ahead, and the roads are all blocked. I completely forgot about it. Why don't you take another taxi?"
Capital University is the best university in China. Every year at the start of the academic year, tens of thousands of students come to this century-old school with their parents.
Li Rui had graduated many years ago and didn't pay much attention to these things. Just as she was hurrying towards another road, she inadvertently heard a very familiar name from the mouth of a student passing by her.
"Xia Yixin? You mean that 'miracle girl' who was reported in the news last year, she's in the same year as us? How is that possible? She's at least twenty years old, isn't she?"
"How could that be impossible? She was already nineteen when she recovered from her illness. I heard that she continued to study during her recovery and completed her high school studies. It's normal for her to be in the same grade as us. She was even the top scorer in her province's college entrance examination!"
"Holy crap, really? That's amazing! Good-looking and so smart too..."
"That's why they say 'those who survive a great calamity are bound to have good fortune'. Her recovery from ALS is said to be the first case in the world, a miracle. Moreover, my mother said that her name is the same as that of a female entrepreneur from ten years ago, and that this might be God's compensation."
Two male students, who were discussing something, brushed past Li Rui while pulling their luggage, but the latter seemed frozen in place.
Li Rui vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but couldn't quite put her finger on it. She took out her phone and quickly searched for "Xia Yixin." Besides the first result, which was the Xia Yixin she knew, there was also a news article from Province B about a "miracle girl."
A year ago, she not only overcame her illness and regained her health, but the speed of her recovery also shocked all the experts. Moreover, after her recovery, her appearance gradually became more and more radiant. A year later, she took the college entrance examination and was admitted to the capital university, becoming a new student in the medical department.
What surprised Li Rui was not the news itself, but that she had been completely unaware of it for over a year. An ordinary person might explain it by saying "I don't read the news" or "I'm too busy with work," but it was impossible for Li Rui not to know. Her daily routine included reading the news newspapers from all over the world. Even if the Xia family didn't care about such medical miracles, why hadn't Yixin Medical Technology taken any action?
This is unreasonable!
This news seemed to appear overnight and be implanted in everyone's minds.
This idea seemed like a fantasy to Li Rui. Just as she suppressed her thoughts and tried to move forward, she saw a figure she never expected to see.
The man seemed to have arrived in a hurry as well, wearing only a black shirt and trousers despite the September weather, with fine beads of cold sweat on his forehead. His car had been stuck in traffic, so he had run there.
The man's handsome appearance immediately drew attention. Someone recognized him and gasped, "Lu Yan! Mom, look, isn't that Lu Yan? The CEO of Yixin Pharmaceutical Technology, Lu Yan!"
The man's words immediately attracted the attention of those around him. When they saw the man, who was even more handsome than a celebrity and had only ever been seen in newspapers, both men and women went completely crazy, and some of the bolder ones went straight over to him.
When Lu Yan grabbed one of them, the girl's mind went blank, and she only instinctively answered the other party's question, "Where is the freshman reception area?"
By the time Lu Yan hurriedly went to the small auditorium at the freshman reception area, the news that "Lu Yan is here!" had spread throughout the entire university.
Soon after, the school leaders also learned of this and quickly led the Dean of Students to the small auditorium.
[Lu Yan makes a surprise appearance at the capital university!]
[Lu Yan reappears after three years, looking slightly thinner!]
