At noon that day, Zhu Shuzhen and her son went to Zhu's house for a reunion dinner.

Li Wen drove to the camphor garden, the poor vegetable field in front of Mr. Huo Huofang's courtyard.

A few days ago, she asked someone to send the old man the props needed to build the greenhouse, such as: film, bamboo pieces, and new scaffolding devices.

Today, have time to accompany the old man and build a simple shed for that bunch of cabbages.

Li Wen was fixing the double arch card, the old man was sticking a cane and smiling at her cheerfully. He was young, and he was hanging out with such a bad old man all day long.

Li Wen didn't have plastic surgery and tilted his head, his eyes paused on Mr. Fang's face: "Where is he a bad old man, he clearly looks like he hasn't lost his old demeanor."

The old man leaned on a cane, laughed and scolded Li Wenpohou.

When he came out of the vegetable garden at the end, Mr. Fang asked Li Wen: "Wen Wen, I have something to ask you, Grandpa."

Li Wen was just putting down his rolled up trouser legs, and slightly raised his head: "Say it."

"What is your relationship with that noble lady of the Yin family?

Li Wen was taken aback for a moment, then came to her senses, thinking of the inexplicably extra resources in her hands recently and the relationship between her rushing to the door.

No matter what, you can't deceive yourself.

Li Wen dipped his hands into the warm water held by the housekeeper, and carefully washed off the yellow mud left on his fingers. After washing, he wiped the drops of water with the handkerchief next to him, before he had time to think about how to peel off this layer of relationship.

The old man's eyes were vicious, Li Wen hesitated, but he didn't continue to ask, he just said: "That one is now fighting with his family, I see, not only the south city is blowing up, but the entire domestic rich circle will be shaken this year."

Such a high evaluation of Li Wen was unexpected.

"Is it that powerful?" Li Wen muttered.

In exchange for the old man's "short-sighted" vision: "It's more powerful than you think. It's just that I don't know why she would make a move at this juncture. Even I thought that no matter what, that old man of the Yin family will have to wait for the return of the old man.Only then can we take action. But this is also good, the Yin family will probably be temporarily restrained, and unintentionally intervene in the turmoil in South City, which will benefit you and not harm you."

Li Wen vaguely knew something about Yin Junning and his family's situation, but the old man's tone said that he wanted to tear apart Yin Junning's family completely.

"You think she's cruel?"

The old man shook his head: "Each family has its own grievances. If you really compare them, you are even worse than her."

After receiving this praise, Li Wen was quite proud: "So why is grandpa worried, I am more ruthless than her, what can she do to me?"

Old Master Fang looked at Li Wen, and warned: "Whoever the Yin family was born in is the beginning of that family's rise. She is meticulous in her work and seems to be easy to talk to, but in fact she overcomes strength with softness. Under strong winds and waves, you can't look enough in front of her.Wen Wen, Grandpa only tells you that no matter why she helps you like this, since you have friendship with her, you should give her your trust and don't be provoked by anyone's few words. "

She and her are not friendship, but love.

Li Wen couldn't tell Mr. Fang directly, so she simply agreed vaguely.

It wasn't until he met Yin Zheng at Li Wen's birthday party that Li Wen knew what the old man meant by this exhortation.

Lunch was at Fang's house, many cousins came, there was a big room full of wives, young masters, young masters Sun.

The Chinese New Year is full of excitement, especially on the 15th, when the whole South City circle, all the first and second generations who are on the stage are discussing Li Wen.

Right now, Li Wen's side is even more lively than the old man's.

"When is my cousin free?" Fang Ke was the one who asked the question, standing at the front of a group of sisters, she was ranked fifth, and her father was the next successor of the Fang family, so the greetings were naturally much more important than Miss Sun and young masters next to her..

Li Wen raised his eyes and took the peeled orange from the other party: "You call me, I'm free anytime."

This remark gave a big face, now everyone in the circle wants to play with Li Wen.

In the past, this Great Aunt was very difficult to serve, and you could pick out a grain of ashes if you ate an orange.

I didn't expect to be so easy to talk now, and couldn't find a single piece of the rumored pretentiousness.Fang Keyuan's heart was trembling, but when he fell to the ground, the expression on his face was no longer rigid.

Seeing that Li Wen was so talkative, he dragged her to play cards.

The old man next to him saw it in his eyes, and his eyes became more kind. Li Wen was willing to get close to the juniors of the Fang family, which meant being close to them.

In recent years, the relationship between Fang Li and Li's family has become rigid, and they were suppressed by the Zheng family from outside.

When turning back to enshrine the memorial tablet, the old man looked at the photo of his dead daughter and sighed: "Ruru, you gave birth to a good child."

Zhu's family lives in Xiangli Villa District.

As the vehicle drove into the community, Li Yue asked her mother, "Mom, have you noticed that my sister's temper has improved a lot after she came back, and she seems to have a better attitude towards us."

Zhu Shuzhen smiled: "Your sister is willing to treat you well, that is your blessing."

Li Yue has heard such words too many times since he was a child, and he has been able to adapt well to the slavish thought that his mother instilled in him that his sister is always right.

"Okay, okay, what should I do if I marry a daughter-in-law in the future?" Li Yue pretended to be sad and said, "If my sister doesn't like it, do I have to break up with her..."

Zhu Shuzhen sat in a very good manner, and cast a sideways glance at Li Yue: "What nonsense, when will your sister be free to take care of this kind of thing. If she doesn't like it..."

"Come on." Li Yue interrupted his mother: "You are really my stepmother."

The driver drove the car to Zhu's house, and Li Yue asked again: "Isn't Dad coming again?"

Zhu Shuzhen was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.

"Why, every family banquet like this. Dad doesn't come with us."

Zhu Shuzhen pushed the car door open, glanced at the lintel of Zhu's house, was confused for a moment, then quickly adjusted her expression: "Maybe there is something..."

Even when Li Zhenghua came to the door, he usually sent Zhu Shuzhen there symbolically to show his respect for his wife, but it was never his turn to step into the door of Zhu's house.

Zhu Shuzhen thought that this was Li Zhenghua's insistence on Fang Ru's love.

Li Zhenghua needs a wife, and her son also needs a father. In fact, for so many years, Li Zhenghua has treated her with great respect. Besides, Zhu Shuzhen is very good at straightening her mind.

The Zhu family's dinner is like a sex meeting, Li Yue prefers the dining atmosphere of Li's family, especially when Li Wen is at home, the family's usual sleep and food on the table will be broken.

But Zhu's family is different, there was Zhu Hongyi pulling Li Yue before, gossiping.

Talked about all the stale grain, overcooked sesame old stories in the circle, and then changed the subject and asked: "Why didn't your sister come here? Earlier she ran to make a big fuss for Mr. Fang's life. What is the Zhu family if you don't come today?"What do you mean? Your wings are stiff, do you look down on the Zhu family?"

When Zhu Hongyi said this, the face of the old man sitting at the front turned blue and then pale. He threw away his pipe, pointed at Zhu Shuzhen's eyebrows and said, "What's the use of you?"

"Being manipulated to death by stepdaughter, how many years have been married, and Zhenghua doesn't even come to our house?"

Mr. Zhu exhaled with heartache, so he gave his daughter eye drops.

Even Li Yue felt that today's trial in three sessions was too harsh.

He opened his mouth to help his mother out: "The Fang family is my sister's grandfather's house, it's normal for her to go there today."

Zhu Hongyi had a look of hate iron for not becoming steel: "Cousin, you are so naive that I don't know what to say. In the past, your sister was in South City and had never been to Fang's house. Why do you think this time?My Zhu family slapped me in the face? Do you know that today, in South City's wealthy circle, almost every family is praising your sister for coming back to do things calmly and powerfully, but comparing the two, you seem to know nothing."

"If this continues, your serious young master of the Li family may be deprived of his property by your sister."

With a snap, Zhu Shuzhen put down the chopsticks heavily.

Standing up, her expression was too calm, her eyes flicked across the faces of everyone on the round table, and then she met the old man's tacit questioning eyes.

"Dad." Zhu Shuzhen slipped her hand over the square bag, took out a simple and exquisite box from it, and walked to Mr. Zhu's side: "This is the gift I picked for you from the Great Compassion Temple last year. It's a big festival, you mustIf you want to break this with me, I'm not here to upset you."

Grandpa Zhu was furious, and the eldest son Zhu Jiashun patted the table and stood up: "Zhu Shuzhen! How dare you talk to Dad like that."

"I don't talk like that, are you waiting for you to point at me and my son's spine and scold my husband and daughter?"

Zhu Jiashun was also angry at the moment: "Why are you so confused. Do you know what your stepdaughter did?"

"She came back this time for revenge!"

Zhu Shuzhen stood there not knowing what to think. After a while, without saying anything, she pulled Li Yue up and walked towards the door.

Behind him was the sound of the old man smashing the bowl.

"If Li Wen came back this time to touch Zhu's family and your son, would you still protect her like this?"

When she came to the door, the master's voice hit Zhu Shuzhen's heart heavily. She paused, turned her head, and bowed to the old master Zhu: "Then wait for her to do it, and I will give you the answer."

Mr. Zhu dropped the other porcelain bowl at hand, he trembled angrily: "Confused! Confused!"

On the way back to the car, Li Yue asked Zhu Shuzhen carefully: "Mom, is sister really here to take revenge on us this time?"

"Do you believe it?"

Li Yue hesitated and said, "I don't believe it."

Zhu Shuzhen looked out the window at night: "I don't believe it either."

Li Wen was not in a hurry to clean up the Zhu family.

Sister Yin taught her that experienced hunters usually don't need to carry their own guns to deal with the enemy.

Just create momentum, let the prey feel the tense and adrenaline-stimulating threatening atmosphere in a peaceful environment, and wait for the prey to show their feet. At this time, the hunter will strike again and give a fatal blow.

But after all, Li Wen overestimated the Zhu family's patience, this opportunity came much sooner than she expected.

The chance happened on Li Wen's birthday on the eighteenth day of the first month. Originally, he had made an appointment with Zheng Xiu to go outside, but the plan could never catch up with the change.

Since Li Wen's recent actions in South City have landed, she has no time to relax.

Even on this birthday, there are people rushing to organize a game for her.

Zhu Shuzhen cooked the lunch at Li's house at noon.

Finally, after lunch, Li Wen asked Li Yue: "There is a banquet tonight, do you want to go?"

Of course Li Yue wanted to go. He had heard earlier that Jiang Qiao was the one who held her sister's birthday party this time. He heard that she borrowed a limited-edition luxury cruise ship around the world from a nobleman through some unknown method.

The cruise ship just arrived in South City yesterday, Li Yue's classmate made a fuss yesterday, wanting to join his sister's game today.

"Can I go?" Li Yue was a little uncertain.

Li Wen nodded: "It's my birthday, of course you can go, just in time, I will introduce you to the brothers and sisters in the circle."

As soon as she said this, not only Li Yue, but even Zhu Shuzhen put down their chopsticks and looked over.

Li Wen rarely takes Li Yue with her, she was too frivolous when she was young.Working everywhere, even Li Yue, his own younger brother, had to follow Li Zhenghua three times and four times to ask her to follow her.

With three pairs of eyes firmly fixed on him, Li Wen put down his chopsticks expressionlessly.

"The address is located on Hidden Dragon Island. You can drive there by yourself. You can also bring friends over."

After Li Wen went out, Li Yue patted his face in disbelief: "Mom, was that my sister just now?"

Zhu Shuzhen patted her on the head, and Li Yue suddenly jumped up: "Oh no, I haven't prepared a birthday present for her yet."

Zhu Shuzhen signaled Wang Ma to take out a gift box that she had prepared a long time ago: "It contains a limited-edition pearl necklace for this year's jewelry show in Paris. You can give it to your sister at night."

Li Yue hugged her mother's neck in surprise: "Hey, thank you mom."

Li Wen's game tonight was a bit grand, the famous rich second generations from the south city were all there, and even some not-too-familiar princes and ladies from the north city and west city came.

This twenty-fourth birthday was more glorious than her sixteenth.

Jiang Qiao accompanies Li Wen to socialize with others. Curiosity can be seen in the corners of his eyes and brows.

In the past, Li Wen was the most annoying about socializing, and he was almost picky when talking to people.

She had indeed changed tonight. After socializing all night, even though she still didn't show much expression, she patiently finished the opening of champagne at the end.

This kind of thing was never possible before.

Jiang Qiao took a glass of cocktail from the waiter, and couldn't help but cast her eyes on Li Wen, the woman under the shattered glass, wearing a neatly cut black long dress, with long brown curly hair fluffy and loose on her shoulders.

Someone came over to say hello, she turned sideways, and the light tilted, outlining the delicate curve of her back and the enviable ant waist.

Couldn't help taking a few more glances, Jiang Qiao murmured to the assistant, "What has she been eating these past few years to keep her in such a good figure."

"Let's see how jealousy is in Miss Qiao's tone." Li Wen walked over with a drink in his hand, relaxed, and lazily leaned against the cruise ship, watching the streamer and makeup reflected on the lake.

After a while, she asked again: "Today's round has cost you a lot of thought."

Li Wen put his hand on the railing, the fact that he was able to borrow the only cruise ship in the world already showed Jiang Qiao's full intentions.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qiao just smiled lightly: "Fortunately, even I didn't expect to borrow it so easily."

"Is there a story?" Li Wen held the wine glass and touched Jiang Qiao.

Jiang Qiao smiled immediately: "It's thanks to my cousin, she has a deep friendship with the Eldest Young Lady of the Yin family..."

Jiang Qiao's cousin is called Jiang Danli.

Speaking of this, Jiang Qiao paused, and added: "The Eldest Young Lady of the Yin family in Guang City, I don't know if you have heard that this cruise ship belongs to her."

Li Wen looked at the lake outside, and didn't know what she was thinking. It took her a long time to lift her red lips: "I heard, the one who can afford a cruise but can't afford a house."

Jiang Qiao didn't respond: "What? Who is it?"

Li Wen poured the wine in his hand down his aching throat: "It's nothing."

The author has something to say:
