16 Chapter 16

◎Repay the money◎

Zhang Li's move of taking the initiative made the three members of the Liu family a little confused.

"What account?" Xifen asked subconsciously.

Hearing this, Zhang Li couldn't help but sneer.

Cheng Yu finally understood what Xi Fen had just said. If her analysis was correct, she was saying... her artist was Liu Shuyi's sister? The daughter of the Liu family?

But...isn't the daughter of the Liu family Liu Qingran? Her artist's surname is Zhang!

When she was even more confused, Zhang Li had already taken out his cell phone and started to retrieve the bills for the original body's previous purchases of luxury goods.

Then he said, "If I remember correctly, when I was driven out of Suyuan by you, I didn't take out a single cent from the Liu family. I think Young Master Liu can testify to this."

Seeing Zhang Li looking at him mockingly, Liu Shuyi's face finally froze.

Xifen felt a stab in her heart.

However, Zhang Li's words quickly changed their mood.

"Since I didn't take anything from the Liu family, then naturally, the three of you should also return the gifts I gave you before, right?"

This one sentence stunned all three members of the Liu family.

"After all, when I gave you the gifts, I gave them according to the standards of family members. Now, we have no relationship at all. I think the Liu family is so wealthy and powerful that they would not embezzle even such a small amount of money? Don't you think so?" Zhang Li raised the corners of his lips.

Liu Shuyi blurted out subconsciously: "How much is it? I'll give it to you in cash!"

"Okay!" Zhang Li was waiting for this sentence. He handed him the phone swiftly. "This is the list of gifts I gave you before, along with the prices and the electronic invoice. If you think it's wrong, you can check and calculate it yourself."

Liu Shuyi laughed. How much could the gifts she bought be worth?

But after taking Zhang Li's phone and reading it, his expression froze again.

[C necklace 1680000.00, bracelet 45000.00, earrings 68888.00, D bag size 8 580000.00, bag size 10 628888.00, shirt size 4 120000.00, shirt size 9 100000.00, G cufflinks size 4 460000.00, cufflinks size 7 380000.00...]

Looking at it all, there are still only a few items that cost less than 100,000, and the total number adds up to a whopping 8.62 million!

Liu Shuyi had never expected that the gifts Zhang Li had bought for them before were all of this price. After receiving them, he hadn't even opened them before throwing them directly into the corner of the closet...

Xifen treated Zhang Li as her own daughter, but in reality, she paid no attention to her gift, focusing all her attention on Liu Qingran, whom she truly loved. Seeing her son's mood was off, she asked him to give her the phone.

After she took it and read it, she suddenly felt an unknown feeling in her heart.

Before she could even begin to grasp the feeling, Liu Shuyi suddenly remembered something: "Where did you get so much money to buy gifts? You used the secondary card my mom gave you!"

It turns out that he was here to defraud them of their money. He is truly a despicable person.

Zhang Li couldn't help but laugh again. "Do you want to look through the purchase records? Open your eyes and see clearly which card the money came from."

Those were all the money that the original person had accumulated in his name after entering the entertainment industry.

Xifen looked through it and found that it was just as she said.

Liu Shuyi was too embarrassed to say anything.

"Of course, I was taken back to the Liu family in my third year of high school. Although I lived on campus in college and entered the entertainment industry after graduation, I still lived in the Liu family for quite a while. I still have to pay for my food during that time. I'll just round it off and transfer eight million to me."

"You..." Liu Shuyi gave her a hateful look and took out his phone. "Okay, eight million, right?"

Zhang Li immediately reported his bank account number.

Liu Shuyi called his assistant, and after a while, eight million was transferred to Zhang Li's card as promised.

When Zhang Li saw the text message about the incoming payment from the phone he had retrieved, he smiled with satisfaction.

Unable to bear her smug look, Liu Shuyi suddenly remembered something and said, "Since you've bought so many expensive gifts for my parents and me, what about Qingran...your adoptive parents? They've raised you for so many years, what have you bought them?"

When mentioning Liu Qingran's biological parents, Zhang Li's expression became sarcastic.

"They deliberately changed my life, why should I buy things for them?"

Suddenly realizing the sacrifices their biological daughter had made, Xifen and Liu Fancheng felt a little guilty for their negligence, but when Liu Shuyi and Zhang Li had these two sentences, their anger was ignited again.

Liu Fancheng slammed his palm on the table. "You have no conscience! You are indeed stubborn and incorrigible! We told you long ago that this was an accident. I think you are suffering from paranoia! You have gone crazy!"

Xifen was also annoyed. "I told you before not to mention this matter again, and you are still throwing dirty water on your adoptive parents! You are simply hopeless!"

Zhang Li looked at the two of them coldly, thinking how pitiful and helpless his original self would be if he were here.

Cheng Yu, who was behind him, was shocked to the point of being at a loss when she suddenly heard such great news.

Shocked back to her senses by the Liu couple's fury, she subconsciously blocked Zhang Li behind her and said, "Ah Li isn't the type to slander with words. How do you know that couple didn't do it on purpose?"

For the sake of their own daughter, some people are willing to do such a thing as switching a real daughter with another one!

Liu Fancheng and Xifen were enraged by Cheng Yu's sudden assertion of presence, glaring at her. "Who the hell are you?! How dare you meddle in the affairs of my Liu family?!"

Cheng Yu felt that the head of the Liu family was simply insane.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Li behind her suddenly said her inner thoughts: "Nerve."

Liu Fancheng was so angry that he pointed at her, "You..."

Zhang Li sneered and pulled Cheng Yu away.

"Wait!" Liu Shuyike hadn't forgotten the important matter yet, "Give up the role of Concubine Li, or I'll make you pay!"

Zhang Li turned his head, a half-smile on his face, "Didn't your Liu family ban me from the public a long time ago?"

She raised her eyebrows provocatively, "If you have the guts, come and help your dear daughter and sister snatch the roles away from them."

"I'll wait."

Zhang Li curled his lips and opened the door of the private room with Cheng Yu.

The bodyguard outside the door subconsciously stopped him.

The three members of the Liu family were furious. Liu Fancheng even said directly, "Alright! You won't give up, right? I want to see if you can get a role in the future!"

Zhang Li rolled his eyes at them, then pulled Cheng Yu, pushed the bodyguards away, and walked away.

Only three people from the Liu family were left, their chests heaving with anger.

-

When he got back to the car, Cheng Yu was still a little bit in disbelief.

"Ali, you are... the real daughter of the Liu family, and you were switched by Liu Qingran's biological parents when you were young?"

Zhang Li smiled indifferently.

"No... the Liu family is full of weirdos, right? They dote on a fake daughter so much, but kick you, their real daughter, out of the house?"

"Don't bother with them, these people are mentally ill."

Hearing Zhang Li scolding his biological parents like that, Cheng Yu didn't think it was wrong, and even felt deeply in agreement.

"What about the couple who swapped you? Taking someone else's child is illegal, right? But the statute of limitations for this kind of case seems to be twenty years, so doesn't that mean..."

How could Zhang Li not understand?

"It's okay, I'll find a way later." They have to bring down their protective umbrella, the Liu family, first.

Cheng Yu nodded, and her thoughts returned to what Liu Fancheng had just said.

"The head of the Liu family said that you won't be able to get any roles in the future..."

"If you believe what he says, you might as well believe that I am Qin Shi Huang."

Cheng Yu, who was originally a little nervous, was instantly amused.
