That night, Wen Li tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, her mind filled with the words Huo Yinghuai had said in the car.
She felt that Huo Yinghuai's words were a bit strange, but immediately realized that she was judging him by her own petty standards.
After all, Huo Yinghuai had been so devoted to her since their first meeting, always sharing good things with her immediately. How could she suspect that Huo Yinghuai had ulterior motives?
The next day, Wen Li came downstairs with dark circles under her eyes.
Wen Xingming has been resting these past few days. Whenever Wen Li is home, he gets up early to have meals with his family.
He was sitting in a chair playing games when he heard Wen Li coming downstairs. He subconsciously looked up, then looked down at his game again.
But he quickly realized something was wrong, and suddenly looked up at Wen Li, exclaiming "Holy crap!" several times.
"Little sister, did Chi You ride you in battle last night?"
Wen Li glanced at Wen Xingming and twitched the corner of her mouth: "Second brother, you're really funny."
"Hehe." Wen Xingming put down his phone, but his tone carried a hint of concern: "What's wrong? Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Wen Li hesitated, unsure how to express her confusion to Wen Xingming.
Upon seeing this, Wen Xingming immediately said, "Is something really wrong? Could it be that someone is insulting you online again? Wait here, your second brother will be right there..."
"No." Wen Li quickly pulled Wen Xingming, who was about to log into his Weibo account, "Second brother, no one is cursing me online, it's just that I have some things I can't figure out."
"What's wrong?" This was the first time Wen Xingming had seen Wen Li so conflicted, and he immediately had an idea: "Tell me what's wrong, and your second brother will be your strategist."
Wen Li thought for a moment and decided to tell him what happened yesterday.
Upon hearing this, Wen Xingming immediately stood up: "Hey, kid! Don't we have a house? You want him to give you one? You wait, your second brother will buy you a big villa right now!"
Wen Li hesitated for a moment, then pulled on Wen Xingming's clothes and forced him to sit down: "Second brother, I didn't ask you to comment on this matter. The house you bought for me is too big and a bit far away. The one Huo Yinghuai gave me is just right, but don't you think Huo Yinghuai is being too nice to me?"
Wen Xingming didn't take it to heart: "You are his savior, and aren't you two good buddies? Isn't it only natural for him to be good to you? If you ask me, Huo Yinghuai is too stingy. Why did he only give you such a small house? Next time, you should ask him to give you a big villa. I recently heard from my brother that he opened another mine in South Africa and has now taken down our dad."
"You should swindle more money from him and cause his assets to drop."
Wenli:......
Wen Li felt something was off when she heard Wen Xingming's words.
She originally wanted to ask Huo Yinghuai if his attitude towards her was strange, but she felt that her second brother hadn't gotten to the point.
——
Wen Li carried her luggage and went to A University.
Since her freshman year wasn't over yet, Wen Li could rest at Huo Yinghuai's residence if she needed to.
Tan Xiaoxiao arrived first; Tong Zhu and Tian Yuzhi hadn't arrived at school yet.
Tan Xiaoxiao said that Yu Pandi has been working with her for some time now, and is now working for her second sister. Her third sister's remains have been cremated and placed in a temple for worship.
After a month apart, Tan Xiaoxiao has become much more cheerful.
“After Tan Yaozu was sentenced, I heard that my parents were getting a divorce. My father had found a widowed woman outside and wanted to marry her, but my mother refused no matter what.”
Tan Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of disgust as she spoke of the two of them: "Let them do whatever they want, I won't interfere in their affairs."
"About two weeks ago, my second sister and I found my eldest sister. She was also in City A, but she wasn't doing very well. I helped my eldest sister change jobs, and in the end, the private restaurant you often treated us to got her a job. The salary is more than enough for my eldest sister."
Tan Xiaoxiao said earnestly, "I don't even know how much I can thank you right now."
"Everyone has their own destiny trajectory, like a universal pulley that can't keep moving forward indefinitely. Although I can help in this process, if you don't put in the effort yourself, no matter how much I help, it will be useless."
Tan Xiaoxiao was going to give Wen Li money—a thick wad of cash, including many ten-yuan and five-yuan notes, totaling at least 30,000 yuan.
Wen Li didn't need to think much to know that this was almost all of Tan Xiaoxiao's money.
Sure enough, Tan Xiaoxiao said, "My second sister and I don't have much money, but don't worry, I will pay you back every year from now on."
Tan Xiaoxiao knew in her heart that asking Wen Li to help must have been very expensive. Wen Li had never asked her for money before, but she could never be indifferent to it.
But I'm really short of money, so I can only repay it little by little like this.
Wen Li looked at the thick stack of money and accepted it: "Thirty thousand yuan is enough. If you want your third sister to be reborn into a better family in the future, do some good deeds in your third sister's name every year. It will accumulate merit for your third sister."
Tan Xiaoxiao's face lit up with joy, and she immediately nodded.
In the evening, Tong Zhu and Tian Yuzhi also arrived.
Tong Zhu looked unwell, and Tian Yuzhi followed behind her with her head down, remaining silent.
After entering the room, Tong Zhu quickly packed her luggage. Exhausted from the day, she covered herself with the blanket and fell asleep immediately.
Seeing this, Wen Li also tiptoed onto the bed.
The next day, the counselors of each class asked the students to go to the designated classroom for a meeting. Wen Li and Tan Xiaoxiao were the only two students in their class, so as before, they attended the class meeting with other classes majoring in archaeology.
Just as the two were about to leave the dormitory, Tian Yuzhi suddenly called out to Wen Li.
Wen Li turned around, seemingly confused about what Tian Yuzhi was trying to do.
The situation was already quite tense because of what happened last semester, and Tian Yuzhi had never taken the initiative to talk to Wen Li. But Wen Li couldn't hold a grudge and ignore her, otherwise she would use it against Tian Yuzhi and accuse her of isolating her.
