Chapter 81
Assists
Noticing that the system's operation this time was unusual, she deliberately tested the system, asking it why it wanted to eliminate her feelings for Xifen.
The system said: "Because Madam Liu is the host's only biological mother."
This sentence may be just a casual remark to the system, but Zhang Li will not take it as a casual remark.
She quickly thought of Liu Shuyi, whom she had just exchanged for 700 million yuan.
Logically speaking, as Liu Shuyi's only brother, the original body's desire for his affection was not much less than Xifen's. In fact, he showed it more obviously than the Liu couple. Whenever the original body saw him unconditionally doting on Liu Qingran, the original body was sad.
But when the system provided the test, it only let her choose: let Liu Shuyi resolve the misunderstanding and become her protector, or choose 700 million.
When it comes to Xifen, the system wants to eliminate her feelings for Xifen.
The system explained that Xifen was the original body’s only biological mother, but logically speaking, Liu Shuyi was also the original body’s only biological brother!
The system gave her 1 billion to take away her feelings for Xifen, but gave her 700 million and did nothing...
Zhang Li didn't think it was a system setting error.
Since it's not a setting error, then there is only one possibility... it's a human error!
She had always suspected that Liu Shuyi, for the sake of family property, had deliberately led Liu Qingran and her original body into the entertainment industry, and later used Liu Qingran to completely drive her original body out of the Liu family.
Of course, there are many examples of siblings fighting against each other in wealthy families, but if what she thought was true, then wasn't Liu Shuyi too obsessed with suppressing the original body?
Later in the original novel, he could give Liu Qingran a dowry worth billions without blinking an eye, yet he couldn't bear to have a daughter whom the Liu family hadn't publicly announced and had even driven out? And this was after he had already been confirmed as the heir to the Liu family?
When I think about this matter carefully, I realize that it is illogical.
Zhang Li could think of more. From her original body's memory, she was certain that the exchange between her and Liu Qingran was intentional, and not an accident as the Liu couple thought.
Since they were able to successfully hide the truth from the Liu couple, there must be someone behind the scenes helping Liu Qingran's biological parents. Who is this person, or who are these people?
Can she make a hypothesis based on these anomalies?
Assuming that Liu Qingran's biological parents were instructed by someone to deliberately switch their original bodies with Liu Qingran, then, would the other party use the same method... to switch the Liu family's first child, the original Liu Shuyi?!
When Zhang Li came up with this idea, her thoughts could no longer be restrained.
If Liu Shu was also replaced, the person behind it definitely wanted to seize the Liu family's property!
Could it be that Liu Shuyi had already known the truth, and therefore regarded the original body, the true blood of the Liu family, as a thorn in his side? Was he trying every possible means to cut off all paths of the original body, making it completely disappear from the sight of the Liu couple?
I have to say, this idea is really amazing!
But if it is true, it can completely explain all the anomalies!
Liu Shuyi's pursuit of the original body, the system only took away her feelings for Xifen, but ignored her feelings for Liu Shuyi... because Liu Shuyi was not her biological brother...
Zhang Li even suspected that even if the original body had not accidentally overheard the conversation between Liu Qingran's biological parents, she would not have been able to develop any feelings for the Liu couple.
Feeling that his thoughts were wandering further and further, Zhang Li quickly stopped.
She pinched the bridge of her nose and suppressed the thought.
In fact, this truth doesn't matter to her. She doesn't intend to let go of the Liu family's business anyway. But if it is true, she can use this opportunity to dig out the truth and prove that the original body is not at fault. By the way, let the Liu couple taste what it means to regret and fulfill their promise to the original body.
Thinking of this, she had a clear plan.
First, she had to secretly send someone to search for the truth. The truth would definitely be difficult to find out, but money talks.
Secondly, she still had some money from Liu Fancheng that she hadn't gotten from the system. If the people she sent out couldn't find anything, she could infer the facts based on the system's subsequent response.
In the end, she will bring down the Liu family anyway. If there is no evidence, once the Liu family falls, all the conspiracies and plots will be exposed in the sun.
Zhang Li curled his lips and took out his cell phone.
-
The charity gala was gradually coming to an end. The people at the first table only saw Xifen coming back, but did not see Zhang Li who had gone with her.
Liu Qingran was used to her mother's dominance, and she knew Zhang Li was the same. Seeing Xifen coming back alone, she stood up nervously.
"Mother……"
Before she could say anything, Xifen grabbed her hand and pressed it, interrupting what she was about to say.
"Sorry, Miss Zhang seemed to want to take a break, so I came back first."
After Xifen finished speaking, she returned to her table, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment, while Liu Qingran felt uneasy.
Xu Fei was skeptical about Xifen's words. She didn't have any scruples, so she got up and went to find the waiter who had just taken Zhang Li and Xifen away, and asked him to take her to find Zhang Li.
The others followed without much hesitation.
Liu Qingran originally wanted to go, but after receiving an angry glare from Xu Fei, she stayed where she was awkwardly.
But when they were halfway there, they saw Zhang Li appear in one piece, intact.
Zhang Li acted as if nothing had happened. "What's wrong? Why are all the people here?"
Everyone laughed.
Wu Heng explained: "Mrs. Liu came back just now and said you wanted to rest. Let's go see if there is any problem."
"I'm fine." Zhang Li lowered his eyes, then quickly raised them and smiled nonchalantly.
Xu Fei knew that the woman surnamed Xi must have said something excessive, and she really wanted to tell everyone all the ugly things she had done.
It's a pity that her idol is still too soft-hearted...
Xu Fei looked at Zhang Li with heartache and walked forward to hold her hand.
Including Xu Yun, who also knew the truth, looked at her with helplessness.
Zhang Li patted Xu Fei's hand and led everyone back to the table.
Huang Xun had already returned with the managers. She was surprised to see that only Liu Qingran remained at the post, but she felt relieved when Zhang Li and others came back.
In short, except for Xifen having a private conversation with Zhang Li about something unknown, the entire charity dinner went very smoothly.
The party ended quickly, and what happened during the auction spread as it ended.
Various entries quickly appeared on the Internet, the most curious of which was the amount of money raised from the auction of items donated by the artists.
First, the songs that Feng Ruo and Deng Xu donated for a million yuan each were leaked, which surprised many fans.
Then there were donations that were sold at higher prices one after another.
Fu Haijing's three million trophy, Liu Qingran's five million jewelry, and the most incredible thing is Zhang Li's twenty million pink diamond!
When netizens heard the price, they almost went crazy.
[Duo Shao? 20 million? ! !]
My god, I can never earn that much in my lifetime.
[This means the 20 million donated by Zhang Li and provided by Wan Cheng’s manager.]
[I heard that the real value of that pink diamond is only about a million. It's obvious that Manager Wan Cheng is deliberately trying to flatter Zhang Li...]
The comment section almost went in a distorted direction because of this revelation, but was quickly pulled back.
After all, it is charity donation. No matter whether the money is worth it or not, it will benefit the people in need. So on the whole, netizens have more praise than criticism.
However, many netizens still doubt what the relationship between Zhang Li and Wan Cheng is.
-
Everything on the Internet had no effect on Zhang Li.
With her current status, even if she acts arrogantly in the domestic entertainment industry, not many people would dare to say anything.
The production of "In Search of the Gods" has not yet ended, but after the theme song and everything else are out, Zhang Li only needs to make occasional handovers.
Cheng Yu originally wanted to get her another movie or TV series as a transition, but after watching a clip from "In Search of the Gods", she suddenly changed her mind.
In her opinion, this movie should be a big hit, and Zhang Li will naturally become more famous.
So they can put it aside for now and deal with it later.
This coincides with Zhang Li's arrangement.
She just wanted to free up some time to deal with the matters between Pei Yuanzhi and the Liu family.
It was quite a coincidence.
Zhang Li had just put down her acting work and asked Wu Heng to send her Pei Yuanzhi's latest updates. The next day, Pei Yiyuan called.
Although Pei Yiyuan and Zhang Li have a good relationship, they rarely have private contact except for fund matters.
She calls me for no reason at all.
However, this news still surprised Zhang Li.
"Guess what I found?!"
"What good stuff?" Zhang Li heard Pei Yiyuan's gloating tone and subconsciously thought it must be related to Pei Yuanzhi.
Pei Yiyuan's answer immediately confirmed her suspicions. "Didn't I tell you last time that Pei Yuanzhi and Li Ruoxi were together? This time I have proof!"
Ever since Pei Yuanzhi was assigned a company by Old Master Pei, he has been getting closer and closer to the Liu family. Pei Yiyuan has a strong sense of crisis, but fortunately, hard work pays off, and she got Pei Yuanzhi's most deadly thing by chance.
"Tell me, if I give the things to the Liu family couple, will Pei Yuanzhi's plan to seize power through marriage still be carried out?"
Zhang Li's eyebrows jumped and he interrupted her.
"etc!"
Pei Yiyuan was a little confused, "What?"
"This matter cannot be told to Liu Fancheng and Xifen first." Zhang Li did not hide his ruthlessness towards the Liu family and directly called them by their names.
Pei Yiyuan: "What do you mean?"
"If Liu Fancheng knew about this, not only would he not cancel the marriage with Pei Yuanzhi as you wish, he would even speed up the process. He is very similar to your old man in some ways. Once he makes a decision, no one can change his mind..."
"You mean, he will keep it a secret from Liu Qingran and speed up the marriage?"
Zhang Li's eyes rolled slightly, and he had an idea, "Send the things to me, and I will make you what you want."
Pei Yiyuan had no doubt about her words, quickly hung up the phone, and sent the evidence to Zhang Li's email.
After Zhang Li read the information and videos, he smiled meaningfully.
She was just worrying about how to get Liu Fancheng to come to her in person, but she didn't expect Pei Yiyuan to help her at the critical moment.
