Upon hearing this, Li Sheng stopped in her tracks.
In the past, the original Li Sheng had caused many embarrassing incidents in order to cater to her fiancé Qi Yu's preferences. The most memorable one was when she found out from Jiang Chuchu that Qi Yu liked bold and daring girls, so she wore a beautiful backless dress, only to be publicly criticized by Qi Yu as shameless!
At that time, in front of everyone, the original Li Sheng watched as her fiancé held Jiang Chuchu's hand and declared, as if making a vow, "I only like... the charming and lovely Chuchu."
One "charming and lovely" remark turned her, the legitimate fiancée, into a complete joke! Since then, she never wore any dresses again.
What a foolish girl she was.
For someone who doesn't like you, even breathing is a mistake. What does wearing a dress or not have to do with it?
Li Sheng shook her head.
Jiang Chuchu thought she had hit Li Sheng's sore spot and looked somewhat pleased with herself as she continued, "Ah Li, I'm just trying to help. After all... I know Qi Yu's preferences the best."
She was clearly flaunting the ambiguous relationship between her and Qi Yu.
Li Sheng smiled lightly, but her words were sharp as a knife.
"You call Qi Yu 'brother' so intimately, but so what? In a wealthy family, marriage is about matching social status. Qi Yu will never marry someone like you. At best, you're just a mistress in the shadows."
These words were truly cutting!
"You..." Jiang Chuchu held back her anger and retorted, "And what makes you better than me? You're just a despised and rejected heiress, nothing more!"
"You're right about that," Li Sheng turned around calmly and elegantly, and said slowly,
"I own nearly half of the Li family's shares, several industries under my name, and my net worth is worth at least tens of billions. Isn't that the true meaning of 'rich girl'?"
She might not be impoverished, but being a rich girl was definitely true.
After Li Sheng finished speaking, she smiled at Jiang Chuchu and then walked into her own room.
Jiang Chuchu was almost speechless from being choked. It was the first time she realized the gap between herself and Li Sheng.
But... just wait and see!
Jiang Chuchu had a confident smile on her face. Just then, a servant called out from downstairs:
"Miss Chuchu, Young Master Qi Yu has arrived and said he wants to personally take you to school!"
"I know, I'm coming down now."
Jiang Chuchu's eyes flickered slightly. She deliberately took a crutch and limped down the stairs.
In the living room downstairs, Qi Yu had just looked down at his watch when he heard Jiang Chuchu's exclamation. He rushed over and caught Jiang Chuchu, who almost tripped.
He asked with concern, "Why didn't you call me? Are you hurt?"
"No..." Jiang Chuchu nestled in Qi Yu's arms, her eyes slightly red. "I didn't sleep well last night and was a little absent-minded."
"What happened? Did you cry?" Qi Yu's face instantly turned cold, his tone tinged with anger.
"Did Li Sheng bully you again?"
"No..."
"Chuchu, tell me the truth!"
Jiang Chuchu bit her lip and refused to speak.
Seeing that she was not willing to talk, Qi Yu turned to ask the servant next to him.
This servant had received many benefits from Jiang Chuchu in the past, and immediately spilled all the details of what happened yesterday, adding some exaggeration.
"Miss Wu never cared about Miss Jiang Chuchu. Yesterday, she not only took Miss Jiang Chuchu's room, but also threatened to kick her out of the Li family. She was really arrogant! Even the master couldn't do anything about her."
"This is outrageous!"
Qi Yu's face darkened, and his expression was fierce, as if he wanted to eat someone. Even his voice became louder:
"Where is she?"
Seeing that he was about to confront Li Sheng, Jiang Chuchu felt a sense of accomplishment in her heart, but she still begged in a submissive tone:
"Brother Qi Yu, forget it. I am in a difficult position as a guest. It is inevitable that I will suffer some grievances…"
"No, she just took advantage of your kindness and bullied you. She became more and more excessive. Today, I must teach her a lesson!"
After Qi Yu finished speaking, a melodious voice came from the corner of the stairs:
"Who do you want to teach a lesson?"
Footsteps sounded.
Everyone looked towards the sound, and saw a young girl in a light green waist-length dress on the spiral staircase.
Her slender waist was particularly eye-catching, and her skin was as white as snow, delicate and fragile. Her black hair was like a waterfall, pouring straight down to her waist.
Further up, there was still that flawless face, with a touch of makeup, bright and dazzling, like a shining jade, untainted by dust, making it impossible to look away.
Qi Yu suppressed his amazement and seemed somewhat incredulous:
"Li, Li Sheng?"
This was Li Sheng?
In the past, she never wore makeup or dresses, always wrapped up tightly in sportswear or casual clothes even when attending banquets. She was mocked as a tasteless country bumpkin.
But now, from head to toe, inside and out, she had undergone a great transformation — stunning everyone and attracting attention. Suddenly, people felt a sense of unattainable distance from her.
Qi Yu was stunned, but quickly regained his composure, his eyes still filled with disgust.
"Lisheng, listen carefully. If you dare to bully Chuchu again, I won't be polite to you!"
Li Sheng walked down the stairs slowly, each step making a clear and crisp sound like the beautiful notes of a piano, striking people's hearts.
Qi Yu prepared himself mentally to deal with her stubbornness and unreasonable behavior as she approached, but Li Sheng simply passed by him and left.
She could knock down two people with one punch — why bother with him and lower her own value?
Li Sheng left without even giving him a glance, walking away decisively.
Qi Yu froze for a second, his eyes filled with disbelief.
She actually ignored his existence?
Even Jiang Chuchu, who always revolved around Qi Yu and made him feel important, did not expect Li Sheng to be so indifferent when confronted by him. How could she continue her one-woman show?
Jiang Chuchu gritted her teeth secretly, but her face remained unchanged.
"Brother Qi Yu, can you take me to school? I'll be late if we don't leave now."
"Okay."
…
The two of them, like a couple, walked out of the Li family's gate hand in hand. Qi Yu personally opened the car door and helped Jiang Chuchu into the car, then considerately fastened her seat belt.
As Qi Yu's car approached the entrance of the mansion, Li Sheng was standing on the side of the road.
She was hailing a taxi.
It was ridiculous to think that she, the legitimate daughter of the family, was penniless and had an empty pocket. Her previous card had been deactivated by Li Yuchang, and the family's available drivers were ordered not to take her anywhere.
They went to great lengths to suppress her, just to make her life difficult, and then obediently hand over the 40% equity.
Did Li Yuchang think she would be afraid?
No.
She would only make them regret how to spell the word "regret"!
Li Sheng patiently waited for the taxi, letting the slightly cool wind blow up her skirt.
Not far away, Jiang Chuchu, sitting in the passenger seat, saw Li Sheng on the roadside at a glance and said:
"Brother Qi Yu, why don't we pick up Ah Li together? After all, she is your nominal fiancée. We can't just leave her alone on the road..."
Qi Yu didn't even think about it and refused,
"I feel disgusted just looking at her. How could I let her dirty my car!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a top-of-the-line luxury car worth at least 60 million yuan slowly stopping in front of Li Sheng…
