Wen Shujin turned around and saw Li Xun walking towards her in a neat suit with champagne in his hand. His passionate eyes were as attractive as ever, and several rich girls showed their affection for him.

Wen Shujin greeted politely: "Hello, Mr. Li."

Wen Boyang saw that Li Xun seemed to be familiar with Wen Shujin: "Shujin, do you know each other?"

Wen Shujin shook his head: "We only met once, we are not familiar with each other."

Li Xun pretended to be sad: "Miss Wen's words are like ice, which makes me sad and upset."

Wen Shulu later learned who he was. He was Li Xun, the son of Li Chuanwang. He was known as a playboy, and Wen Shulu didn't want his sister to have anything to do with him. "What are you talking about, Mr. Li? I just ran into you and your girlfriend while buying jewelry. We didn't even recognize your name."

Wen Boyang frowned. How could the son of the Li family be such a scoundrel?

Now he despises Li Xun, but he probably never thought that in his previous life, he married Wen Shujin without hesitation for the sake of profit.

In his previous life, in order to expand rapidly and obtain huge investments, Wen Boyang naturally first turned to the Huangfu family, which was in love with Wen Shujin. Unfortunately, Wen Boyang did something that completely severed the connection between the Wen family and the Huangfu family.

In order to fight against the foreigners, Wen Boyang had no choice but to turn to the Li family and marry Wen Shujin to Li Xun as a bargaining chip.

"Xun'er, do you know Miss Wen?" A woman came over. She was wearing an exquisite dress, delicate makeup, and a huge ruby ​​around her neck.

She smiled very gently, and looked at Wen Shujin with admiration: "Last time I saw Miss Wen in the newspaper, I have always wanted to get to know her. I didn't expect to meet her so soon."

Wen Shujin's face was silent for a moment, then immediately returned to normal. In her previous life, she was deceived by this woman's disguise, thinking that she was a gentle and kind mother-in-law. But who would have thought that this woman was the same as An Yuyun, gentle on the outside, but proud and complacent on the inside, like a snake and scorpion.

Feng Yizhuo is good at making trouble for Wen Shujin. She pretends to be graceful and generous in front of others, and is a good mother-in-law who cares about her daughter-in-law. But who would have thought that for the sake of face, she would let her stay awake for several days to make pastries.

She remembered that day, the sky was bright and the sun was shining brightly. It should have been a pleasant morning.

"Shujin, you're obsessed with painting all day, but have you ever cared about your husband? Your father became the richest man in Jing'an thanks to my husband, and this is how you repay me?" Her eyes were filled with reproach: "Do you know that my husband was almost killed because of your family? You will never be able to repay our family for what you owe us."

Wen Shujin wanted to explain, but she only saw disgust in the woman's eyes.

"You should study hard these few days to make cakes, so that your father-in-law can also enjoy the blessing of having two wives." She glanced at Wen Shujin coldly and said, "Keep an eye on the young lady until she makes qualified cakes."

Wen Shujin's fair and slender hands had never been used for anything other than holding a paintbrush, so how could she make pastries? She forced herself to do it for two days without being able to sleep, as she would be woken up as soon as she fell asleep.

Finally, the finished product was made, but Wen Shujin's hands were burned and there were scars on his white fingers.

In this way, she started her life as a virtuous daughter-in-law. She was almost as good as a chef in all kinds of pastries, housework, Chinese and foreign dishes.

The funny thing is that Wen Shujin thought what she said made sense at the time and felt really sorry for the Li family, so she endured it for eight years. During these eight years, she didn't dare tell her father about her experience in the Li family. Later, she thought, even if he knew, why would Wen Boyang care?

After Wen Shujin calmed down, he politely responded, "Thank you, Madam, for your appreciation."

She walked forward and took Wen Shujin's hand: "I think the more I look at you, the more I like you." She turned to look at Li Wenshi: "Husband, don't you think so?"

Li Wenshi nodded: "Young and promising, dozens of times better than my disappointing son."

Li Xun, who was standing by, raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Even his father would praise others.

Li Wenshi is a ruthless businessman, no less ruthless than Wen Boyang, but he is very loyal to his wife. In his previous life, he never made things difficult for Wen Shujin, and even thought of passing the family business to her. However, after Mrs. Li found out, she had a big fight with him, and Wen Shujin successfully divorced him. Otherwise, she would never be able to escape from the Li family in her life.

Wen Shujin didn't want to have anything to do with the Li family anymore, so he said distantly, "Thank you, Uncle Li, for the compliment."

"Miss Wen, long time no see." Huangfu Zheng walked over, with his father Huangfu Chang beside him.

This banquet was a business gathering. Everyone knew the purpose of Wen Boyang holding the banquet. The people who came also had certain purposes. Some were there to watch, and some were there to invest. The Huangfu family, as the richest family today, was naturally also among the invited guests.

"Mr. Huangfu, long time no see." Wen Shujin smiled and narrowed his eyes slightly, looking like a completely different person.

Li Xun clearly felt the change in Wen Shujin's temperament. He was gentle and distant to all of them just now, but he became more gentle and sharp towards Huangfu Zheng.

"Shujin also knows A Zheng?" The Wen family had not yet fallen out with the Huangfu family. Huangfu Zheng and Wen Boyang had collaborated on several projects, so naturally they knew each other.

Wen Shujin nodded: "Mr. Huangfu saved me last time at the mall."

Wen Boyang frowned: "Saved?" Wen Boyang looked at Wen Shujin worriedly: "What happened?"

Wen Shujin realized that he had let the cat out of the bag and didn't know how to respond.

Song Shiwei also widened her eyes: "Ajin, what's going on? How come Mom doesn't know?" She couldn't have too much emotional fluctuation. Wen Shujin looked at her mother's eyes and felt a little uncomfortable. She still made her mother worried.

Huangfu Zheng explained: "Don't worry, auntie. Last time, someone rushed towards Miss Wen with a knife in the mall. I happened to pass by and arrested that person."

Wen Shujin glared at Huangfu Zheng and said, "You are bringing up things that are not related to the topic."

Huangfu Zheng had never expected that Wen Shujin would not tell his family about such a serious matter. Logically, if he had told them, would Wen Boyang have investigated thoroughly and brought down the other branches? Why didn't he tell them?

When Song Shiwei heard someone being arrested, she checked Wen Shujin again and found that she was not injured. She breathed a sigh of relief: "What would Mom do if you were injured?"

Wen Boyang was a little angry: "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me?"

Wen Shujin quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, father. I didn't want to make you worry, so I didn't tell you."

Song Shiwei protected her child: "My daughter is not very sensible yet. If you, as her father, care more about her, how could my daughter not tell me?" She accused Wen Boyang directly and did not give him a good look at all.

Wen Boyang snorted angrily and turned to leave. Wen Shujin pretended to be a little anxious and wanted to catch up to explain, but was stopped by An Yuyun: "Shujin, if you go now, it will only make Boyang angrier. I'll go and talk to your father."

Wen Shujin could only nod reluctantly.

An Yuyun quickly comforted her: "Boyang is just worried about you, don't worry, he won't be angry for too long." Then she chased after Wen Boyang.

Song Shiwei also snorted coldly: "Don't bother with him, he's right."

The people around were sweating in their hearts, as it seemed that the eldest lady's temper was not as good as the rumors said.

After a while, An Yuyun said something and Wen Boyang's expression eased.

Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, everyone dispersed.

Wen Shulin, who had been dealing with customers for a long time, walked onto the stage and said, "Thank you all for coming to the Wen family. The dance party will begin soon. Please dance to your heart's content."

Soft music slowly sounded. Song Shiwei felt a little tired after standing for a while, and was helped by the servants to go back and rest.

Wen Shujin looked at the people dancing in the pool. She had already rejected more than a dozen men who had invited her out. She was waiting for that person.

"Why don't you step forward and seize the opportunity." Feng Yizu looked at his son beside him.

"Mom, what are you talking about?" Li Xun frowned.

Feng Yizhu crossed her arms and said, "I don't know what you're thinking. Normally, you would have taken other girls to dance. Why haven't you entered the dance floor yet? You've been looking at Miss Wen from time to time since just now."

Li Xun coughed and said, "I'm just curious, how on earth can a woman like her come up with such fantastic ideas and actually create a TV that even the Yang family can't make."

"Why don't you just go up and ask? When did my son become such a coward?"

Li Xun glanced at Feng Yizhu: "Mom, you don't have to provoke me, I..."

"Li Xun." A girl rushed over.

Li Xun frowned and pulled the woman away: "Miss Yang, please respect yourself."

Yang Xintong was angry and raged at Li Xun: "Why didn't you respect yourself when you said I was beautiful?"

What Li Xun regretted most was flirting with this woman, who kept pestering him endlessly: "Miss Yang seems unable to distinguish between polite words and true feelings."

Yang Xintong raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "What do you mean by superficial words and psychological words? What do you mean? Why didn't you think about today when you were flirting with me? I'm attracted to you, do you hear me?"

Li Xun took a deep breath and said, "Miss Yang is a bit shameless."

Yang Xintong was immediately furious: "What do you mean I'm thick-skinned? If I am thick-skinned, then you are thicker than the city wall."

Li Xun really couldn't understand this woman. She acted like a spoiled brat in front of him, but also said she liked him. Li Xun thought she was crazy and didn't want to say anything more to her.

Feng Yizhu was drinking champagne beside her, and soon someone clinked their glass with hers: "Mrs. Li, long time no see."

Feng Yizhu looked at the visitor and said, "Second Madam, why are you chatting with me when you are not accompanying the guests?"

An Yuyun smiled and said, "Isn't Madam Li my guest?"

The two chatted, talking about business and then fashion, as if they had found a common interest, and the topic became increasingly speculative. Mrs. Li took a sip of her champagne, her eyes twinkling as she said, "Second Madam is truly knowledgeable. Not only does she have unique business insights, but her keen sense of fashion is also admirable."

An Yuyun smiled slightly and waved her hand gracefully, signaling the waiter to refill their drinks. "Chatting with Madam Li, I really feel like I've met her too late."

Feng Yizu nodded. Their family had no business dealings with the Wen family, and Wen Boyang and Li Wenshi did not have a close personal relationship, so the wives of the two families were naturally not familiar with each other.

Originally, Lu Huiyun had been in the social circle for many years and had met Feng Yizhuo several times. However, Lu Huiyun was favored in her early years and offended Feng Yizhuo, which led to even less friendship between her and the Wen family.

Wen Shujin looked at the people who came and left one by one, and felt disappointed. It seemed that she would not be invited to dance today.

Just as she turned around, Li Xun came over and said, "Miss Wen, would you please do me the honor of dancing with me?"

Wen Shujin took a step back: "Thank you, Mr. Li, I don't feel like dancing now."

"Then, beautiful lady, could you please dance with me?"

Wen Shujin smiled. It seemed she had finally gotten what she was waiting for. Wen Shujin turned around and bowed gently, "It's my honor."

Seeing Huangfu Zheng holding Wen Shujin's hand, Li Xun's expression changed drastically: "Didn't you say you didn't want to dance just now?"

Wen Shujin chuckled: "Mr. Li also said it just now. I want to jump now."

Watching the two people leaving, Li Xun clenched his fists. It was the first time he had been humiliated by a woman.

"You deserve it. I asked you to reject me. There will be a day when you will be rejected by others." Yang Xintong felt a little proud, but she also felt uncomfortable in her heart. The person she liked was discarded by others.

Wen Shujin didn't care about their thoughts at all. She just wanted to get along well with Huangfu Zheng. After she came back, she was busy with her career and had no time to meet him again.

"sorry."

Wen Shujin was stunned. "Why should I say sorry?" He suddenly remembered what happened earlier. "You don't have to apologize. Father should have known about this. It's just that I didn't want to tell him without evidence."

"Your idea is really strange."

Wen Shujin looked at him, his eyes filled with a subtle, elusive hatred: "How could it be? There is no evidence, and you are making random accusations. That's called slander."

Besides, she originally wanted them to die in despair little by little, so how could she kill them so easily?

Huangfu Zheng found that he could not understand the woman in front of him. When they first met, he thought she was a gentle woman like water, but later he found that she seemed to be a rose with thorns. When he thought she was delicate and vulnerable, she was like a tough cattail.

He saw her on TV. A factory that was losing money could achieve such results in just one month, which showed that she was very smart and was definitely not the flower he thought she was.

It's just that she treated him a little differently. It seemed that when she looked at him, she was not him.

Mysterious, beautiful, and multifaceted, she succeeded in making herself curious.
