Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 454 Li Wanying and Lin Mengjie 2(2)_1

The Lin Family naturally wouldn’t agree, and the Li Family was there threatening, forcing Shangguan Hao to marry Li Wanying quickly. Shangguan Hao, at home, was in a difficult position both inside and out. His heart ached; he was a thousand, ten thousand times unwilling, but seeing Shangguan Zhi’s pleading gaze and listening to Shangguan Zhi’s earnest persuasion, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

In the hospital, Lin Mengjie’s health was very poor. She had her pride, her own child. Why should she hand it over to the Shangguan Family? But when she discovered the problem with her health, she fell silent. Li Wanying appeared before her again, negotiating terms with her.

This time, a mysterious man also appeared. Li Wanying didn’t know his identity or what he discussed with Lin Mengjie. After the man left, Lin Mengjie agreed to hand over the child to the Shangguan Family. Furthermore, the Lin Family members would not actively visit or worry about the child’s life, except on specific days.

The relationship between the two families was completely resolved, and the external troubles of the Lin Family vanished as well. Li Wanying grew even more wary of the mysterious man, seeing that even Lin Mengjie had compromised with him.

After Lin Mengjie agreed, all issues were smoothly resolved. Shangguan You returned to the Shangguan Family, Lin Mengjie and Shangguan Hao divorced, and just two short months after the divorce, Shangguan Hao married Li Wanying. Seven months later, Shangguan Rou was born.

Everything proceeded according to Li Wanying’s plan. Shangguan Zhi, prioritizing the family and its interests, had forced Shangguan Hao to divorce Lin Mengjie and marry Li Wanying.

Aside from the fact that Shangguan Hao never looked at her properly or touched her, Li Wanying’s life was good. Shangguan You had just returned home. Lin Mengjie had arranged for Aunt Zhang to provide constant care for her, and Liu Ruoling also helped. Li Wanying had originally wanted to meddle covertly, but after being harshly warned by the mysterious man, she no longer dared to make a move.

Three months later, she received news from the mysterious man that Lin Mengjie had fallen into a coma. Zhuge Feng, also known as Ouyang Xuan, took her to countless hospitals, but he still couldn’t awaken her. Ouyang Xuan even found a body double for Lin Mengjie. At that time, Li Wanying couldn’t stop smiling, even in her sleep.

Although Lin Mengjie was in a coma, Li Wanying’s hatred for her grew ever stronger and deeper. The day after the wedding, Shangguan Hao returned to the military base. He didn’t even come back for the birth of Shangguan Rou, and he didn’t have time to take wedding photos with Li Wanying. There wasn’t a single photo of them together, yet his study still housed all the photographs of Lin Mengjie and him.

Seeing the entire family dote on Shangguan You, then looking at herself and her daughter being sidelined, Li Wanying’s resentment and anger grew more intense. A year later, she started working at the Health Department, and the mysterious man appeared before her again. In that secret chamber, they not only secretly researched various viruses but also various transformative substances.

From her initial unease, she gradually became accustomed to it, then it became second nature. As she helped the mysterious man, her hatred for Shangguan You deepened day by day. As Shangguan You grew, she saw Lin Mengjie’s shadow in Shangguan You, and Shangguan Hao’s increasingly affectionate gaze towards Shangguan You only fueled her hatred.

Shangguan You was the treasure; Shangguan Rou was the grass. Amidst Shangguan Rou’s complaints, Li Wanying finally couldn’t help herself and took action. With assistance from the mysterious man, she arranged for Shangguan You to be kidnapped. All subsequent events unfolded logically. She even stole a small bottle of medicine from the lab, stealthily adding it to Shangguan You’s food to make her dull and foolish. She also bribed Elder Yu to hypnotize Shangguan You, turning her into a complete imbecile.

And she successfully had Shangguan You banished to B City, allowing Shangguan Rou to become the only daughter of the Shangguan Family. Had it not been for that mysterious man who forbade her from eliminating Shangguan You, Shangguan You wouldn’t have been alive today.

But, half a year later, when Shangguan You returned, she had changed entirely. Later, Shangguan You discovered the secret of the medicine, and even the secret chamber was exposed by her. Then, Li Wanying fell into Zhuge Feng’s hands. She was captured for several months, and the mysterious man never appeared again.

Li Wanying felt a chill run through her when she saw Lin Mengjie lying on the ice bed. She had thought the mysterious man had sent someone to save her, but unexpectedly, it was Zhuge Feng, come to settle scores with her. Zhuge Feng, Ouyang Xuan, they were the same person.

Afterward, she was confined here, enduring the chilling cold every day. She was forced to keep Lin Mengjie company, and Zhuge Feng had also drugged her. Although she hated Lin Mengjie for making her live like a widow for so many years, seeing Lin Mengjie lying there day after day in that icy state, her body preserved, a twisted sense of ease settled in Li Wanying’s heart. As for the mysterious man in black, she had never seen his face and had no idea what he looked like. Every time he appeared, it was as if he materialized from thin air, mysteriously arriving and mysteriously vanishing.

Inside the secret chamber, Zhuge Feng looked down at Li Wanying, who was in a sorry state on the ground. A murderous intent flashed through his eyes. He had never imagined that the reason Mengjie had fallen into her current comatose state was Li Wanying’s secret machinations. If it weren’t for Li Wanying, how could Lin Mengjie have remained unconscious for sixteen years?

With that thought, he unleashed a palm strike in a sweeping motion, lashing out fiercely at Li Wanying.

"It was you who asked me to speak, and what I said was the truth. If you want to seek revenge and find the antidote, go look for that mysterious man," Li Wanying exhaled and said ironically. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"But let me warn you, that man is very powerful, and his presence is even greater than yours, emanating an oppressive aura that takes one’s breath away. If you are capable, go find that man. The person behind all this is that man. Tell me, could it be that man also designed to frame her because he, like you, is infatuated with Lin Mengjie?" Li Wanying said, beginning to laugh.

"Perhaps because he couldn’t have Lin Mengjie, he decided to destroy her out of hatred. HEHEHE. The way that man looked at Lin Mengjie was very peculiar, very complex. HEHEHE."

As Li Wanying spoke, she reminisced about that prior meeting between the mysterious man and Lin Mengjie. Although she hadn’t been present during their discussion, she noticed that after the man emerged, his imposing aura had noticeably diminished. Furthermore, he had instructed her not to harm Shangguan You, which made her suspect they had reached some sort of agreement.

"Shut up! You think everyone is like you, always scheming against others and climbing into men’s beds?" Zhuge Feng snarled, unleashing another palm strike that sent Li Wanying flying several meters. The impact caused a searing pain in Li Wanying’s chest, and she fainted.
