With exams approaching, Wen Li is experiencing major tests every week.
Wen Li is like an unknown wildflower growing under a rock, always possessing a tenacious spirit that fears no hardship. For the next month or so, she not only did not lose heart, but instead studied tirelessly every day.
Seeing Wen Li's grades rise almost linearly, Chu Mingtai couldn't help but admire how smart his senior sister really was.
She has successfully surpassed the 600 mark since her last score of 550, and like a sponge, she continues to absorb knowledge. It seems that Wen Li is different every day.
A week before the college entrance examination, Huo Yinghuai returned the jade pendant that Wen Li had given him.
Wen Li: "I've already given it all to you, why are you giving it back to me?"
Huo Yinghuai said, "I'll return it to you for now."
...
Seeing the strange look in Wen Li's eyes, Huo Yinghuai said, "I know you have plenty of treasures. This jade is your ancestor. It can protect me, and it can definitely protect you too. I hope that the ancestor can protect you and help you get through the exam safely."
Despite Huo Yinghuai's insistence, Wen Li accepted it.
"I'll give it to you after I finish my exam."
Human fortune and misfortune are ever-changing. Her seeking opportunities is against the natural order, so it's impossible for her to foresee whether Huo Yinghuai will encounter problems every time.
Huo Yinghuai is her money bag friend, and she must protect him so that he can live a peaceful and safe life, so that she can have money that she can never spend in her lifetime.
After seeing that Wen Li accepted the gift, Huo Yinghuai took out his own gift again.
Wen Li looked at the black velvet box, somewhat surprised: "Didn't you give me something before?"
Huo Yinghuai: "That was originally yours."
Wen Li opened the box; inside was a jade pendant with auspicious cloud patterns.
"This is way too expensive!"
"It's nothing, just a small token of my appreciation," Huo Yinghuai said. "You can come visit my company after you finish the exam."
Wen Li nodded quickly.
Huo Yinghuai's parents are both dead, and apart from his unreliable Uncle Huo, he has no other relatives. Besides her, it seems that he only has Pei Yu from the Pei Group as a friend.
Huo Yinghuai must be very lonely to say that!
Wen Li said, "I will definitely go."
Suddenly, she changed the subject, her voice lowering slightly: "But I probably can't go often. After the exams, I'll be filming movies and TV series, and I'll also be catching ghosts. But when my funeral parlor opens, I'll invite you to the ribbon-cutting ceremony."
Huo Yinghuai: "..."
He casually asked, "What movie is it?"
"It seems to be a film about protecting wild animals. I made a friend when I participated in a variety show at the beginning of this year. I only recently found out that she is a very famous film director and screenwriter. She contacted Brother Zhou, and Brother Zhou thought the script was good, so he let me direct it."
"As for TV series, I don't know. Brother Zhou is still choosing scripts for me."
Wen Li dutifully explained her itinerary. Seeing that Huo Yinghuai didn't speak, Wen Li raised her head and blinked her long, curled eyelashes: "Huo Yinghuai, are you listening to me?"
Huo Yinghuai snapped out of his reverie and said gently, "I'm listening. I'm wondering if I'm working too much?"
Filming both a TV series and a movie in just two months is virtually impossible for a domestic production company.
“The movie is just a minor role, and the TV series only has twelve episodes. Two months should be enough.” Wen Li shrugged. “Brother Zhou has arranged all these things for me, so I don’t have to think.”
Huo Yinghuai was amused by Wen Li's half-hearted yet not completely do-nothing attitude.
Suddenly remembering something, Huo Yinghuai asked again, "Has Pei Daguang come to see you recently?"
"who?"
When Huo Yinghuai suddenly mentioned this name, Wen Li thought for a long time but couldn't remember it.
"I heard that Pei Yu's uncle harassed you before, so Pei Yu had someone teach Pei Daguang a lesson. How is it now?"
“I almost forgot about this person if you hadn’t mentioned him.” Wen Li shook her head. “I haven’t been home for over a month, so he couldn’t even get into the school. But has the matter of the employee who died suddenly been resolved?”
The mother of your employee who died suddenly became a vengeful ghost and has come after Pei Daguang. Pei Daguang is probably having a hard time for a while.
Sure enough, Huo Yinghuai said, "Pei Daguang refuses to pay compensation, and I hear that he is now in court."
The Pei family's affair caused quite a stir; almost the entire upper class was watching Pei Daguang make a fool of himself. He was close to the Pei family, so he had naturally heard Pei Yu mention the matter.
“Pei Daguang has been driven to desperation by Pei Yu, and he may come looking for you again during this period of time.”
However, not long after Huo Yinghuai left, Pei Daguang arrived.
Pei Daguang didn't know how he got into the school or how he found Wen Li's classroom.
When Wen Li was about to do her morning exercises, Pei Daguang's large body emerged and blocked her way.
Meng Yubai and Zheng Ke, who were standing nearby, were startled and immediately tried to call for help, but Pei Daguang quickly waved his hand and said, "I, I'm not a bad person. I'm here to ask Miss Wen for help."
Zheng Ke and Meng Yubai protected Wen Li behind them, their eyes scanning the room from top to bottom, but they really couldn't see any trace of a good person in Pei Daguang.
The two men looked wary, but Wen Li patted Zheng Ke and Meng Yubai on the back: "Don't worry about me."
Wen Li said, "You guys go do your morning exercises first, and ask Teacher Chu for leave for me."
Zheng Ke was a little worried, but Meng Yubai saw that the two seemed to know each other. Wen Li could beat the evil spirit in his house with her bare hands, so how could she not beat a fat man?
Zheng Ke was reluctantly pulled away by Meng Yubai. After the two left, Pei Daguang coldly watched their departing figures.
"Pei Daguang".
Seeing the look in the other person's eyes, Wen Li suddenly spoke up and gave a reminder.
Pei Daguang quickly recovered and immediately put on a smile: "I'm here!"
Wen Li's face was pale and her eyes were icy cold as she said, "Pei Daguang, I told you before, it's no use coming to me. I already told you the solution back then, but if you don't listen, no one can save you."
"I'm truly innocent. The company's employees all have high salaries, and working overtime is the norm. Besides, that employee died at home, so no one can determine whether it was due to overtime work that caused his sudden death."
Pei Daguang's fleshy eyes were full of grievance: "Besides, the matter is over, I didn't come here for this."
After saying that, Pei Daguang moved closer to Wen Li, but Wen Li gave him a cold look, and Pei Daguang stopped in his tracks. He could only stand there and lower his voice to say, "I came here this time to ask you to help me exorcise the ghost!"
