Rebirth: I Became Mr.President's Beloved-Chapter 17 - The Song of the Blue Elf

At school, Tang Li's demeanor could only be described as gloomy.

Having been at university for over a year, she rarely communicated with the other girls in her dormitory, so their relationship was as one might expect.

By the time she was in her second year, only Wu Xuehan was still willing to talk to her.

Looking at Wu Xuehan, with whom she could only exchange awkward glances, Tang Li was reminded of some past events.

In her previous life, the last time she saw Wu Xuehan in person was on the evening when she and Han Jifeng got their marriage certificate.

Han Jifeng was 27 at the time and had not yet assumed the position of Minister of Justice.

Their wedding was simple, with no meeting between the parents, no grand banquet, no wedding photos, and even the wedding rings were bought on the spot.

Ever since Mr. Han took his life due to the bankruptcy of his company, Qin Yueru's health deteriorated progressively, and she often became bedridden with illness when Jifeng graduated and started working.

Knowing Qin Yueru's condition, Tang Li often snuck to the Han Family to take care of her.

Until one day, she was caught off guard by Jifeng who returned home early.

In the summer when Tang Li was about to move from her third to fourth year, Qin Yueru fainted alone at home and was later diagnosed with diabetes at the hospital.

It was then that Han Jifeng proposed marriage to her.

Because of the love in her heart, she willingly plunged herself into that quagmire.

Tang Li recalled those years, and apart from describing them as foolish, she could not find a more suitable word.

To care for Qin Yueru, she resolutely took a year off in her final year of university and later gave up her career, gradually losing herself in a marriage that existed in name only.

Tang Li couldn't even remember when Wu Xuehan, who came to congratulate her that night, left.

At that time, she was occupied with attending to Han's mother, who had a leg cramp.

After that, her contact with Wu Xuehan steadily decreased.

When Wu Xuehan became a rising star in the entertainment field, Tang Li could only catch glimpses of her on TV dramas and through salacious gossip.

Three years into Tang Li's marriage with Han Jifeng, the explosive news broke that the new Best Actress winner Wu Xuehan had died from a drug overdose and promiscuity. The scandal shook S-country deeply, with the Best Actress award being revoked from Wu Xuehan. Apart from the media camping out, no friends from the industry attended Wu Xuehan's funeral, a stark depiction of the world's indifference.

Later, confined to her home by Han Jifeng, Tang Li accidentally found a case file in the study.

The file documented the case of Wu Xuehan.

Unknown to the outside world at the time, Ouyang Hua, a board member of Tianyi Group, was Wu Xuehan's boyfriend before her death.

The night that Wu Xuehan got into trouble, she was heading to the hotel to meet Ouyang Hua.

And Ouyang Hua, Ouyang Qian had to call him Uncle.

After the death of Wu Xuehan, Father Wu and Mother Wu went to the police station to file a report, accusing Ouyang Hua of murdering their daughter. Unfortunately, with the Wu Family being powerless, the case was ultimately suppressed.

When she discovered Han Jifeng's feelings for Lai Shengxia, it became clear why Jifeng would help the Ouyang Family.

At this moment, there was no one else in the dorm.

Tang Li returned to her bed, and Wu Xuehan, who was about to leave, followed, wagging behind like a little tail.

After a while, Wu Xuehan suddenly said, "Tang Li, have you ever heard of the blue elf?"

Hearing this, Tang Li turned around, looking puzzled.

"Sit down first," Wu Xuehan pressed on Tang Li's shoulders, directing her to sit on the edge of the bed.

Tang Li watched as Wu Xuehan hurriedly placed the book she was holding on the desk, then turned around to make it a mystery, and pulled out her cellphone from her pocket, tapping the screen rapidly with her fingers.

Then, the cheerful melody of a nursery rhyme filled the dormitory.

Seeing that she was trying to cheer her up, Tang Li couldn't help but curve her lips into a smile.
