But Ling Momo knew that was just wishful thinking, driven by pure curiosity, with no real possibility of ever meeting that girl.
Yet, one day, Ling Momo was invited by Li Qingshen to attend Wen Jiaran's birthday party.
Ling Momo knew Wen Jiaran; after all, her great-grandfather had married Wen Jiaran's mother, but they were merely acquaintances.
In Ling Momo's memory, Wen Jiaran was a beautiful and graceful woman with a delicate and fragile appearance, reminiscent of a Jiangnan lady—quiet and pristine, exuding a gentle warmth.
To this day, upon seeing Wen Jiaran again, Ling Momo found that time had not left its mark on this woman. Her features were as tranquil as her memories conveyed. She stood lightly on a tall red platform, with a gentle smile, flanked by Li Nian, the once-dominant figure of the Baodi Group, and naturally, by Li Qingshen, Wen Jiaran's son, whom Ling Momo knew all too well.
