Chapter 55 The second world is loading...



Later, Li Qiao followed what Li Wan said and posted an apology statement on Weibo.

The central idea expressed is that she was deceived and she is also a victim.

Unfortunately, Li Wan overestimated Li Qiao's writing skills, or rather, she underestimated Li Qiao's determination to clear herself. The entire apology was written like youth pain literature, with a lot of descriptions of psychological activities, emphasizing that she was a victim, but did not mention the real victim in this incident, that is, the man's original wife.

As soon as this apology letter, which lacked any sincerity, came out, it was immediately criticized by netizens and became a hot topic on the Internet.

Li Wan had nothing to do, so she flipped through the comments. Seeing that netizens were scolding her so harshly, she even felt a little sorry for Li Qiao.

But when I thought about Li Qiao and Yang Fengyun's plan, I felt that they were not worthy of sympathy.

There was a commotion outside, but Li Wan stood still. She rarely got a rest and stayed at home without going out.

Xiao Ze's original business trip was to last for a week, but because Li Wan was resting at home, he shortened it by two days and flew back to stay at home with Li Wan.

His body now looks like he has fully recovered, but in fact, the car accident left him with many sequelae. He cannot be overly tired, otherwise he will have a headache. He also cannot stand for a long time, as his bones will ache on rainy days.

But he doesn't care about any of that.

Because that car accident gave him what he wanted most.

Li Wan was no longer ambiguous towards him. Instead, she looked at him with a sense of distance and indifference, as if she was always outside the world, a cold-eyed bystander.

The car accident allowed him to pull her into his world.

"Do you need my help with this matter?" Xiao Ze asked Li Wan after knowing that Li Qiao's affair had caused such a big stir on the Internet.

Li Wan was a little curious and asked, "How are you going to help?"

Xiao said: "My company has a public relations department, and these things can be handed over to professionals."

Li Wan briefly told Xiao Ze about Yang Fengyun and Li Qiao's visit to her that day, and then said, "I don't think she needs my help." She paused and said, "I don't want to help her either."

Xiao Ze said, "Since you don't want to help, then forget about it. What do you want to eat tonight?"

Xiao Ze changed the topic so quickly that Li Wan couldn't help but be stunned.

Then the two of them naturally started discussing dinner.

Li Qiao was eventually scolded so much that she deleted her blog and quit the Internet, but she still refused to change in her life.

Li Wan didn't need to ask specifically, as her sister-in-law Wei Qingyan often sent her WeChat messages to tell her the latest news about Li Qiao.

After this incident happened to Li Qiao, she didn't dare to contact her former classmates and friends, so she had to tell Wei Qingyan everything.

Wei Qingyan heard about it from Li Qiao and told Li Wan.

For example, Li Qiao moved away and didn’t dare to live in that house anymore.

For example, the man told Li Qiao that he wanted a divorce, but Li Qiao's belly was six months big, and the divorce was not finalized yet, and the man visited her less and less frequently.

Later, Li Qiao gave birth to a daughter, and the man's attitude suddenly changed. He never mentioned divorce again and rarely showed up in public.

As for the house that the man bought for Li Qiao, since it is the joint property of the couple, the original wife is suing to get it back.

Li Qiao had just given birth, and because of these things, her mood was very unstable. Yang Fengyun had been taking care of her and was miserable. She kept complaining to Wei Qingyan and wanted Wei Qingyan to come over to take care of her.

"Where are my two children? How could I spare the time? The same thing happened to Li Qiao. That man lied to her from the beginning, so he's not a good person at all. Now that she's given birth to a daughter, he doesn't even come to see her. If I had listened to you and beat the child, there wouldn't have been so many problems later. Now I'm really asking for trouble." Wei Qingyan said, "I went to see Li Qiao that day. I almost didn't recognize her. She looked haggard, and she seemed a little bit mentally unstable. She ignored me when I called her, and suddenly she started swearing, which scared Wenwen to tears."

Wei Qingyan added: "Sister, luckily you are smart, otherwise, I would have to rely on you."

Li Wan curled the corners of his mouth sarcastically.

Li Qiao still wants to save face. The last time Li Qiao came to her for help while she was pregnant should have been her bottom line. At that time, she asked Li Qiao to abort the child, but Li Qiao refused. Naturally, she doesn't have the face to come to Li Wan again now.

Yang Fengyun didn't have so many concerns. She kept calling Li Wan. She answered once and transferred money once, noting that it was for the child. Later, she put Yang Fengyun's phone number on the blacklist. Yang Fengyun came to her house several times, but she was not at home. Aunt Xu didn't let anyone in because of her instructions. She saw that it was Yang Fengyun from the surveillance video, so she pretended that no one was at home.

Yang Fengyun couldn't find her, there was nothing he could do.

Later, she told Li Wan through Wei Qingyan that if Li Wan continued like this, she would expose her on the Internet.

Li Wan calmly replied, "Just let her go. She made a big fool of herself last time, and netizens have almost forgotten about it. Let her go and see whether netizens scold her or me."

Wei Qingyan repeated this to Yang Fengyun and advised: "It's not easy to get over the Li Qiao incident. If you go online to talk about Li Wan again, it will definitely make a big fuss. Besides, Li Wan is so famous now. People on the Internet say she is good. If you post these things, others will not believe it. Then they will scold you and Li Qiao again."

Yang Fengyun was so frightened that she dared not say a word and could only curse at home.

Li Wan has completely drawn a line between himself and Yang Fengyun and Li Qiao.

Although Wei Qingyan loves to take advantage of others, at least she is not that hateful. She took her money and gained benefits, and she also knew how to curry favor with her. She knows what is good for her, unlike Yang Fengyun and Li Qiao, mother and daughter, who sucked her blood for so many years and then turned around and stepped on her.

Li Mo had no objection to Li Wan and Yang Fengyun drawing a line between themselves.

He attached great importance to blood ties, but did not force Li Wan. As for Li Qiao, he still took care of her, but his ability was limited, and he couldn't take care of her very well. He was just doing his best.

Yang Fengyun and Li Qiao, mother and daughter, have a hard time.

Li Wan's life was getting better and better.

Seeing Li Wan's career getting better and better day by day, his popularity is also increasing.

Fu Xiangjun often heard people around her praising Li Wan, saying that she was blessed to have such a beautiful, virtuous and capable daughter-in-law.

That kind of envy is real.

Li Wan's image on TV is really good. Her appearance and temperament are the most popular among the elders. She is gentle and harmless. Her behavior and speech are even more comfortable. Therefore, she is particularly popular in the middle-aged and elderly market.

When the neighbors in the community found out that Fu Xiangjun was Li Wan's mother-in-law, they were so envious.

After hearing this kind of words many times, Fu Xiangjun's attitude towards Li Wan changed unconsciously. She no longer had the arrogance she had before, and her words were now more cautious and flattering.

In fact, the main reason was that she didn't know when Li Wan started to transfer her living expenses.

Fu Xiangjun also asked Xiao Ze, and Xiao Ze said that Li Wan was in charge of the family's money now.

Fu Xiangjun had no choice but to get living expenses from Li Wan every month.

Although Li Wan would transfer money on the first of every month, he would never delay with excuses or say anything weird as she had imagined.

But since Fu Xiangjun took money from her, she always felt inferior to her and could no longer stand up straight in front of Li Wan.

Because of her likable image and comfortable hosting style, Li Wan's popularity has gradually increased, and her market value has become higher and higher. She has gradually developed to mainstream TV stations, hosted two programs, and participated in the recording of many variety shows.

Within one year, he got five endorsements.

This is already very high for colleagues in the circle. Even a host like Qi Wen, who has been famous for many years and has a high national popularity, now only has seven endorsements.

The main reason is that Li Wan's image and temperament are very pleasing. Although she is the same age as Qi Wen, she looks much younger than Qi Wen. There are currently no young hosts like Li Wan in the market. Li Wan is unique and naturally stands out.

Li Wan's popularity in the circle is also enviable. When she promotes a program on Weibo, she doesn't need to say hello, there will be a group of celebrities who will help her forward and promote it. All celebrities who have dealt with Li Wan are full of praise for Li Wan, and many of them have become friends. For example, Xue Yao would ask Li Wan out for dinner from time to time. If there is any trouble in the circle, the first thing he thinks of is to tell Li Wan. To him, Li Wan is like a safe haven.

Many film and television dramas have also found Li Wan, some because the roles are suitable, and some purely because of Li Wan's popularity.

Li Wan refused, as she already had enough work to do.

She did not sign with any company but opened her own studio. Although this gave her fewer job opportunities and resources, she was much freer.

Work when you want to work, and rest when you don't want to work.

Just like this time, because tomorrow is her birthday, she made arrangements to rest early in the morning, and the whole family flew to the beach where Xiao Ze took her last time to celebrate her birthday.

Li Wan specially brought Lu Ziwang with her.

Lu Ziwang is now much more cheerful and speaks more fluently. He often stays at Li Wan's house and regards it as his second home.

Although there was no wine.

But because of Mrs. Xiao's publicity, everyone in the circle knew that Lu Ziwang recognized Li Wan as his godmother.

Lu Ziwang is the Xiao family's darling, and this relationship is much closer than the previous relationship between distant relatives.

Because of this relationship, Xiao Ze also gained a lot of conveniences and the company's development was also smooth.

Li Wan was going to take Lu Ziwang on vacation, so the Xiao family was naturally very relieved.

The Xiao family also noticed the changes in Lu Ziwang over the past year.

On the plane, Lu Ziwang and Xiao Yan were leaning against each other watching cartoons, while Xiao Xiao was playing games on his game console.

Xiao Ze turned on his computer and started writing as soon as he got on the plane.

Li Wanze put on an eye mask and quickly fell asleep to the sound of Xiao Ze typing on the keyboard.

After a good night's sleep, you will arrive at your destination when you wake up.

Xiao Ze booked the same hotel as last time, and even the room they slept in was the same room as last time.

The three children's rooms are just across the hallway.

We had a lot of fun at the beach in the afternoon and celebrated Li Wan’s birthday in the hotel room at night.

After singing the birthday song, Li Wan clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and made a wish.

It's late at night and everyone is asleep.

Li Wan's room was not peaceful.

It has been half a month since we last slept in the same bed.

Xiao Ze wished he could swallow Li Wansheng.

Eat Li Wan again and again.

The hot lips kissed along the back of the neck all the way down to the waist.

Li Wan's hands were trembling as he supported himself on the bed. He didn't know when the trembling would end. Finally, he could not hold on any longer and collapsed. His sweaty face was buried in the pillow, and most of the sounds coming out of his throat were swallowed up by the soft pillow.

He climbed up again, his hot body pressed against her back, and dug her face out from under the pillow. He brushed away the hair stuck to her face, and kissed her cheeks. While moving slowly, he asked in a low voice, "What did you wish for?"

Li Wan closed her eyes and hummed twice, too lazy to reply him.

Xiao Ze refused to let her go: "Is it about me?"

Li Wan pushed his face away and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Hurry up, I'm so sleepy."

Xiao Ze's eyes darkened. He bit her on the face, then moved fiercely.

[Please note that the mission has been completed and the new world is loading...]

“Cough, cough, cough, cough… cough…”

Li Wan was awakened by a violent cough.

She struggled to open her heavy eyelids and looked at this strange world.

A dimly lit house with paper-covered windows, a square wooden table, and a few benches...

Strange memories flooded into her mind like a tide, and she moaned softly.

After a moment, she opened her eyes, a wry smile on her lips.

At this moment, a respectful female voice came from outside the house: "Little Eunuch Cao."

Another somewhat impatient and particularly arrogant voice asked, "Is the person awake?"

The female voice from before said softly, "Not yet. Miss Wan had a high fever last night, but it subsided this morning. She is sleeping now."

At this moment, Li Wan suddenly burst into coughing again.

Then, the half-closed door was pushed open unceremoniously.

Li Wan looked over and saw a handsome young man in a dark blue robe walking in.

He didn't shy away from anything and walked straight to the bedside, staring down at the pale-faced Li Wan lying on the bed: "Miss Wan, are you feeling better?"

The words were polite, but the tone was not polite at all.

This is Cao Yu, the eunuch who serves the young emperor.

He has been following the little emperor since he entered the palace at the age of six. It has been twelve years now. Naturally, his status is extraordinary. He is the master's loyal servant, and he hates whoever the master hates.

The little emperor hated Li Wan, so he naturally hated Li Wan as well and never treated Li Wan well.

Li Wan's limbs were weak, and he sat up with difficulty, leaning against the box behind him. With a pale face, he looked at Cao Yu neither servile nor arrogant: "Young Eunuch Cao."

Cao Yu looked at her suspiciously. Li Wan was always timid when she saw him. How come she became bolder after being sick this time? She even dared to stare at him like that?

He said coldly: "You have rested for two days. It's almost time to go back to work."

Li Wan was about to speak, but suddenly burst into coughing.

Cao Yu quickly took two steps back in disgust, even raising his sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and his delicate eyebrows were furrowed.

Li Wan stopped coughing and said helplessly: "Eunuch Cao, I would like to go back to work earlier, cough cough, but I am sick now. If I go back to work, I am afraid that I will pass the disease to the emperor. The emperor's dragon body is precious..."

Cao Yu interrupted her and glared at her, "Do I need you to tell me that? You broke the emperor's favorite vase, and you still think you can serve the emperor? That's wishful thinking! Just change your clothes and there will be other tasks for you." After he said that, he immediately turned around and walked out, as if this place had dirty his shoes.

Li Wan had no choice but to change her clothes, get up, skillfully pour water to wash her face, and then sit in front of the bronze mirror to comb her hair.

Her face was reflected in the mirror.

She was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a small oval face, a pointed chin, and a pair of dark, moist almond-shaped eyes under her curved willow-leaf eyebrows that always showed sadness. At this moment, her face looked pale and a little sickly, but she was still a beautiful and charming woman.

She is now the second daughter of the current Empress Dowager's half-brother. Last month, the Empress Dowager brought her in from outside the palace and sent her to serve the Emperor.

The Empress Dowager was originally the noble concubine of the late emperor. After the late empress died early, the late emperor handed the young emperor, who was still a prince, over to be raised by the noble concubine who was on good terms with the late empress. However, after only three years, he also followed the late empress.

The young emperor ascended the throne at the age of seven and honored the concubine as the empress dowager.

But after all, they are not biological mother and son. In recent years, rumors of the emperor and the empress dowager's estrangement have spread outside the palace.

"Li Wan" was sent to serve in the imperial court. On the surface, she was sent to serve, but everyone knew that she was sent to the emperor to cultivate feelings, and in the future she would at least become a concubine.

It’s a pity that “Li Wan” did not win the favor of the little emperor. Not only did he not favor her, but he even thought she was an eyesore. Every few days the little emperor found an excuse to punish her.

It happened two days ago because I broke a vase.

After being punished to kneel in the rain for an entire afternoon, "Li Wan" had a weak constitution to begin with, and as expected, he fell ill the next day, and was ill for two days.

Li Wan looked at the sickly but still beautiful woman in the mirror and thought that it was no wonder that her aunt, the Empress Dowager, brought her into the palace.

Li Wan took some time to comb her hair, then she picked up a plain hairpin and went out.

Cao Yu was waiting impatiently in the yard. When he saw her come out, he said with an unhappy face: "What takes you so long? Let's go!" Then he walked out of the yard.

It has been raining continuously these days and the sky is gloomy.

Li Wan glanced at the gloomy sky above his head and for the first time felt that his future was bleak.

It took a full quarter of an hour to reach the Gandong Hall, where the little emperor worked.

Cao Yu asked Li Wan to stand outside the palace gate and said with a bit of pride: "From today on, you will be on duty outside."

Li Wan didn't show her usual pitiful attitude at all. She just nodded very calmly and said, "Yes."

Cao Yu looked at her again and felt that she had become strange after being sick. He snorted arrogantly and stepped over the threshold. After crossing the threshold, the expression on his face suddenly became respectful: "Master. I am back."

Li Wan lowered his eyes, curled the corners of his mouth in a mocking manner, and said in a low voice: "Lawless man."

A gaze filled with some surprise fell on Li Wan.

Li Wan's scalp tingled and when he looked up, he saw a man in black clothes standing upright on the other side of the palace door.

It was the emperor’s close bodyguard—Qin Lin.

Li Wan froze for a moment.

When did this person stand here?

Could it be that he had been here all along?

On his cold face, a pair of calm eyes were staring at her. There was no emotion in his eyes, he just stared at her.

Li Wan blinked twice calmly, then gave a friendly smile: "Good morning, Guard Qin."

This was the first thing they said.

They had never spoken to each other before.

Qin Lin's eyes froze for a moment, his brows furrowed slightly, but he quickly calmed down and looked away expressionlessly.

Li Wan didn't feel embarrassed at all.

The hall was very quiet.

It was also very quiet outside the temple.

Li Wan's fever had just subsided this morning and she was feeling weak now. Her legs were numb and her head was dizzy after standing for a long time. In addition, she had not eaten anything in the morning. After standing for an hour, Li Wan could not stand it anymore and secretly leaned her shoulders against the wall. Although she was very careful in her movements, Qin Lin's eyes still swept over her.

Li Wan looked at him openly, knowing that he would not complain even if he saw it, because she didn't hear him say a few words.

Sure enough, Qin Lin just glanced at her and then turned his eyes away.

At this moment, Cao Yu and two other young eunuchs were serving inside, and only Li Wan and Qin Lin were outside.

Li Wan leaned against the wall with confidence, only to feel his eyelids becoming heavier and heavier——

Suddenly, a cold snort filled with anger was heard.

Li Wan was so scared that she stood up straight and opened her eyes, she couldn't believe that she had fallen asleep leaning against the wall. She subconsciously looked at the person standing in front of her, and met a pair of phoenix eyes staring at her with cold anger.

She was stunned for a moment.

She was seen staring at the emperor.

Cao Yu, who was standing behind the emperor, shouted angrily, "How dare you!"

A cold voice came out from the emperor's thin lips: "Is this how you do your duty?"

Li Wan's knees softened, and she knelt down almost reflexively. She bit her tongue to wake herself up and remind herself of her situation, then lowered her head and said, "This slave deserves to die."

"You deserve to die." The emperor looked down at Li Wan who was kneeling in front of him coldly, "If it weren't for the Queen Mother, you would have died countless times."

Li Wan didn't say anything, but just lowered his head even lower.
