Chapter 20 Want to be famous for a lifetime
"Hello Lian Li." In front of her was a tall, unknown boy who stared at her with burning eyes.
Lian Li's eyes moved from a handful of delicate roses to the boy's face, and she politely curved her lips: "Hello, do you have anything to do with me?"
"It's just..." When she looked at him, the boy's heart suddenly surged, and he felt shy.
He took a deep breath and finished speaking very fast: "Actually, I have liked you for a long time. I have liked you since the moment you gave a speech as a freshmen representative at the freshman opening ceremony. Can you be my girlfriend? ?”
"She can't!" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded.
Xue Shufan was wearing a casual suit with a backpack slung over his shoulder. He walked quickly and put his arm around Lian Li's shoulders, declaring his sovereignty:
"She's mine."
The students passing by saw the battle and glanced back from time to time, but everyone was busy with their own business and no one stopped to watch.
Lian Li raised her eyelashes calmly, with a slight smile on her face: "Thank you, I don't like roses."
Doesn't she like roses? It was him she didn't like.
The boy thought about mustering up the courage to confess his love once before graduation. Although the result was not satisfactory, he had no regrets.
Ignoring the lost boy, Xue Shufan took Lian Li's arm and headed to the cafeteria,
Birds flew high in the distance, herons stirred the water, mallards swam freely in the scorching sun, and a few chirps radiated the vitality of Weiming Lake.
On both sides of the road stood yellow ash trees, their leaves rustling on the ground, and the ground was covered with golden ginkgo leaves.
Lian Li and Xue Shufan went to the third floor of the cafeteria. They first found a seat by the window and put their bags away. Then they went to the ordering window and swiped their cards to get a number and bought grilled fish and rice in banana leaves.
There are relatively few people on the third floor and the waiting time is not long.
Lian Li sat at the pear wood-colored dining table and asked Xue Shufan opposite: "How is the laboratory going lately?"
"After constant beating, junior brother's elm head turned into a log head." Xue Shufan said.
Lian Liyanran smiled cleverly: "It's quite amazing. There has been a qualitative change."
Xue Shufan raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
The sun shines in through the glass window and falls on Lian Li's side. The long black hair on her shoulders shines like satin, shining with fine sheen.
Black hair, fair skin, delicate facial features, and a look that is always on the table.
He also has an eloquent mouth and can turn anything bitter into sweet.
"That's right, don't look at who I am."
Xue Shufan said immodestly: "I want to be famous all my life."
Xue Shufan is indeed beautiful.
After leaving the Xue family, all cards were stopped, but the down-and-out young lady was still in great glory. She spent a lot of money to pave the way for herself, bought a bunch of expensive equipment, and went on an expedition to the tropical rainforest with her scientific research team.
Tropical rainforests around the world have her traces.
Because of science, I have no money to eat. When Xue Shufan fainted due to hypoglycemia, Lian Li sent her to the infirmary.
"What about you, are you busy with a complicated and boring paper recently?" Xue Shufan asked.
Lian Li: "I haven't chosen a topic yet. The professor went to Boston to participate in training activities. We will decide the direction when she comes back next month."
Xue Shufan nodded and asked: "Will you consider going to the United States to study for graduate school in the future?"
"I won't go." Lian Li shook his head. She has to stay in the capital. Xue Shufan smiled and said: "It seems that the house left by grandma is not pleasing to the eye, and no one will live in it."
Before Grandma Xue passed away, she planned to send Xue Shufan to study at Stanford and bought a townhouse in the Upper East Side of New York.
Grandma Xue probably didn't expect that Xue Shufan would leave the Xue family, not go to Stanford, and stay in the capital. Maybe he would enter a graduate school in the future.
The banana leaf grilled fish rice has the soft and glutinous texture of kabayaki and soy sauce. Lian Li chewed it slowly. She had previously suggested that Xue Shufan rent the house to others, but Xue Shufan said that it was left by her grandma and she would not let others live in it. .
"Do you know about the Shen family?" Lian Li looked up at Xue Shufan and asked softly.
"I saw the news report. How is your roommate? Are you still coming to school?" Xue Shufan said.
Shen Huaining, the daughter of the Shen family, is one of Lian Li's roommates.
Once the situation changes, the Shen family falls, the prosperity and wealth are fleeting, and no one is willing to face the misfortune of the building suddenly tilting.
Lian Li said: "I don't know, there is no one in the dormitory."
"The world is impermanent and glass is fragile. Only this is true." Xue Shufan raised his left hand and shook the Van Cleef & Arpels diamond watch on his wrist. "Although the Shen family was defeated, Shen Huaining's mother's natal family still had the family of Bond Street in London. Several shops, wineries in Bordeaux ”

Xue Shufan had a lot of information and was familiar with the anecdotes of the circle at his fingertips.
"In the Forty-Nine City, the one with the strongest foundation is the Jin family. It has been unreachable for hundreds of years."
Xue Shufan couldn't help but sigh, "Oh! It's not the same as it has been for a hundred years, but it's getting more and more brilliant."
The degree to which elders joke often depends on how much authority that person holds and whether their status is high or low. Whenever the adults mentioned the Jin family, their words were very rigorous and careful.
"I once heard from my grandma that more than 20 years ago, the Zhong family and the Duan family got married with the purpose of jointly weakening the huge power of the Jin family. The woman in the marriage was Zhong Yang's aunt, and the man was the eldest son of the Duan family who had a promising future in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at that time. , that is, Duan Yu's uncle," Xue Shufan said.
He didn't even understand the matter, so he listened carefully: "What happened next."
"I don't know what happened later. The disputes died down. The second brother of the Duan family was transferred to another job, and the whole family moved abroad."
Xue Shufan took a sip of the soup and said, "The children of the aristocratic family are all mixed up...except for the Jin family, who are not ordinary people. When old man Xue held a family meeting, he said in a very serious way that among the new generation of children, the ones who should not be offended the most should be It’s Mr. Jin.”
Lian Li was confused: "Why him?"
Xue Shufan said: "Because Jin Shiyue did whatever he wanted, and was arrogant and arrogant, but he had no reason."
People in the circle appear to be polite and harmonious, but in fact they have long been dissatisfied due to conflicts of interest. Many people want to bring down the Jin family.
In other words, the Jin family has many enemies, and if there is any slight disturbance, someone with ulterior motives will have already grasped the situation and pulled them into trouble.
Jin Shiyue's blameless face appeared in Lian Li's mind, and for a moment, he nodded in agreement: "It's really arbitrary."
Even if he plays psychological tactics with girls and 'tortures' them, he even wants to 'cheat' girls out of their lucky money... I've never seen him like that.
Although he came back later, for money fans, the sadness at the moment of losing money is real and cannot be eliminated.
"Jin Yanting is different. He is a gentleman and behaves steadily. Old Man Xue has always used him as a positive example to teach his children."
Xue Shufan put down the spoon and slowly wiped her fingers with a tissue. After pausing for three seconds, she leaned forward and asked in a lowered voice.
"Hey, Lili, what's going on between you and him?"
