When Li Weiyi was eating breakfast, Li Yunmo walked in carrying his backpack.

“Done eating? Let’s go.”

Li Weiyi thought this kid was too useful—had he guessed that she needed a car early in the morning to go to the Li family home? She walked over with satisfaction and praised him, “The one who understands my heart is none other than Li Yunmo.”

Li Yunmo never expected Brother Chan to confess to him so early in the morning. Had he opened his confession switch last night? In these nearly twenty years, Brother Chan had never spoken sweet words to him. Li Yunmo’s face turned red. Actually, he just wanted to come and mooch a ride in the Ferrari.

The two walked out together. Li Weiyi said, “Let’s first go to the hospital to see Li Weiyi, then go check out where Li Xiaoyi works…”

Li Yunmo looked at his Brother Chan with an indescribable expression.

Li Weiyi: “What’s wrong?”

“You just confessed to Cheng Ruiyan yesterday.”

Li Weiyi said righteously, “You call that a confession? I was blessing her, praising her. I didn’t promise anything.”

Li Yunmo’s eyes suddenly widened. But even though Brother Chan had recently been quite shameless in his scumminess, he still treated him as his best brother—understanding his heart… Li Yunmo sighed and said, “If you want to see your second sister-in-law, you’ll have to wait until evening. It’s Monday today—we have to go back to school for classes.”

Li Weiyi: “…”

Li Weiyi: “Do we have to go?”

Li Yunmo looked at him suspiciously. “Today we have the department head’s class. If you’re marked absent, it’ll affect your attendance score. You didn’t forget, did you? And this week starts final exam review covering key points. Who would dare not go?”

Li Weiyi couldn’t mess up Zhang Jingchan’s life for her own sake. She had no choice but to take her backpack. Li Yunmo drove, and they arrived at school.

The first two periods were small class sessions. The classroom wasn’t large. Li Weiyi and Li Yunmo sat in the back. Quite a few classmates had already arrived, all taking notebooks from their bags and bringing them to the podium. Li Weiyi was still surveying her surroundings when Li Yunmo asked, “Brother Chan, aren’t you turning in your homework?”

Li Weiyi: “…”

She didn’t even know what this class was about! Plus, she had crossed over early Saturday morning, and Zhang Jingchan had been jumping into water to save someone on Friday, so there was a high probability he hadn’t done the homework.

Li Weiyi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, “Go tell that whoever—didn’t I perform a heroic deed and fall into the water over the weekend? I’m dizzy and lightheaded. I didn’t do the homework. I’ll make it up later.”

“That whoever” referred to the girl collecting homework at the podium.

Li Yunmo thought: Who are you fooling? You had time to flirt with girls but no time to do homework. After Brother Chan met that Li Weiyi, he doesn’t even love studying anymore… Could this be true love?

Li Weiyi: “Hurry up and go!”

Li Yunmo obediently went to explain for her.

The class study committee member collecting homework walked over—a refined-looking girl. “Zhang Jingchan, are you okay? Is your body alright?”

Li Weiyi answered with restraint, “I’m fine. Thanks for your concern.”

“If you’re not feeling well, reviewing must be difficult. Last weekend I borrowed review notes from a senior in her fourth year, plus several sets of final exam questions. Do you want them? I can make you a copy. I just don’t know if you’d find them useful.”

When Li Weiyi heard this, wasn’t this timely help in a snowstorm? She immediately smiled. “Yes, absolutely yes! Beautiful sister, you’re such a good person. Thank you!”

The girl’s face flushed. She nodded and walked away, her ponytail swishing behind her head.

Li Weiyi turned her head and saw Li Yunmo’s complicated expression again.

“What’s wrong?”

“Brother Chan, are you planning to go the lecher route?”

Li Weiyi harshly knocked him on the head.

However, once class started, Li Weiyi couldn’t be arrogant anymore.

She couldn’t understand it—ninety percent she couldn’t understand.

This class was Securities Investment and Futures, and it was a comprehensive review. The teacher spoke very quickly—a pile of formulas, models, and data. Li Weiyi had majored in finance in university and had only studied some basic financial knowledge. She had never touched this advanced material. She could only randomly flip through Zhang Jingchan’s notes and was surprised to discover this person had quite good handwriting—upright and free-spirited.

She was feeling dizzy and confused when the teacher wrote a problem on the blackboard and called on several people to answer. None satisfied her. The teacher frowned. “The analysis is too superficial, and the data models are used incorrectly. If you all operate like this, securities firms won’t know how much money they’ll lose! Forget it! Zhang Jingchan, you do it. Explain it thoroughly to them and let them know where the problem is.”

Everyone looked toward Zhang Jingchan, quietly and naturally. The teacher’s eyes showed undisguised affection and appreciation. Li Weiyi slowly stood up. This must be what it felt like when the sky was falling.

She said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Teacher, I’m sorry. I caught a cold and had a fever over the weekend. My head is still very dizzy. For this problem… I have some ideas, but they’re not clear enough. I can’t answer better than the previous students. I’m very ashamed. I’d like to answer after I’ve thought it through.”

The teacher showed a surprised expression. At this moment, the study committee member sitting in the first row spoke up. “Teacher Xie, Zhang Jingchan caught cold and got a fever because he performed a heroic deed saving a drowning middle school student.”

Li Yunmo grumbled internally: What middle school student—second sister-in-law!

The teacher raised her hand, signaling Li Weiyi to sit down, then looked at the others and said earnestly, “Look, just look! Zhang Jingchan not only ranks first in the entire department every semester, but also knows to perform heroic deeds. How many contemporary university students have such character? Today, due to physical reasons, when facing a problem he’s not confident about, he treats it cautiously—proud but not impetuous. Only this way can he become an outstanding investor and operator in the future! Class dismissed!”

The students all took the lesson to heart. Li Yunmo felt honored by association. Li Weiyi’s face had turned white.

What? First in the entire department?

No… what happened to the profligate, unrestrained rich second-generation who spent money like water?

Although Li Weiyi’s grades had been pretty good before, she could only rank in the upper tier of her department. Now that she’d switched to an unfamiliar major, even if she immediately started studying night and day, she probably wouldn’t be able to touch the throne of first place in this lifetime.

Li Weiyi was disoriented for a few minutes before calming down. She quickly repositioned Zhang Jingchan’s academic goal to just passing—this level of study pressure was barely bearable. It was just that in the future, how would she face parents, the school, teachers, and classmates… She’d just say that this time falling into the water had injured her brain…

Li Weiyi went through the morning classes as if sleepwalking. Listlessly, she followed Li Yunmo to eat lunch at the gate, then hazily sat through two afternoon classes. After learning that the remaining two periods were unimportant electives, Li Weiyi had the idea of skipping class. She had done enough for Zhang Jingchan today—she still needed to go save her sister.

Li Yunmo: “Not going? You selected this class together with your sister-in-law.”

Li Weiyi picked up her backpack and ran, taking a taxi first to the Li family home.

At this time, Li Xiaoyi should have finished her early shift. With “Li Weiyi” hospitalized, her sister was most likely at home preparing food to take to the hospital for their parents.

Her guess was correct.

Standing several dozen meters outside the Li family courtyard, she looked at that busy figure in the kitchen, both longing and dejected.

She had thought that returning to eight years ago, she would somehow turn the tide against heaven and change her fate, from then on walking toward the pinnacle of a perfect and happy life. But three days had almost passed, and she realized that everything was so difficult. Her sister wasn’t so easy to convince. She still didn’t have a clue about Fuming Group’s situation. These past two days, she’d just been coaxing Zhang Jingchan’s girlfriend, only to end up being forcefully kissed by said girlfriend. As for studying, she’d stepped right into a super pit…
