Thank you Q for rewarding "Cold Ah~", mwah~

****************************

Zhao Ying immediately got furious: "How dare you talk back, if it weren’t for you, your sister wouldn’t have..."

Zhao Ying didn’t continue, although they were at home, the couple had agreed beforehand that whatever happened should remain a secret, absolutely not to be known by anyone, otherwise, they’d be doomed.

Li Shujun stood up directly, brushed off Zhao Ying’s hand: "What did I do? Is it me who wanted you to harm Sister? Clearly, everything was discussed and arranged by Mom and Dad, what does it have to do with me?"

Li Xue suddenly stood up, rushed to Li Shujun’s side, and slapped her hard. With a loud crack, the entire living room fell silent.

Zhao Ying was somewhat surprised.

Li Shujun was holding her face, looking down, lost in thought.

Li Xue’s face contorted: "You dare say you’re not involved in this? That little brat, it was you who threw him into the rubber dinghy. Now the internet is speculating if we had anything to do with it, and here you are, yelling it out loud, do you want the entire family to go to jail before you’re happy?"

"And who was the one seducing her sister’s husband, trying to replace her? Who always picked on Sister?"

The servants went home after finishing their tasks at night, it was already past 10 PM, so there were no outsiders at home, otherwise, Li Xue wouldn’t have said these things.

Li Shujun and Zhao Ying didn’t dare speak up again.

"I’m warning you, that matter from before, let it rot in your stomach, otherwise you’ll be bringing bad luck on yourselves, no one can escape from it."

Li Shujun sobbed and cried.

Li Xue looked annoyed, thought for a moment, and said: "You handle it, sell off whatever isn’t needed at home, and from now on the whole family needs to save money, we don’t have a money tree to waste on."

"Zhao Ying, pay back the money, you’re not allowed to gamble anymore, or don’t blame me for being rude. And you, Li Shujun, stop spending money lavishly, remember this?"

"Got it, Dad."

"Mr. Li, I understand." Zhao Ying was still somewhat afraid of her husband.

The plan to kill Li Shuning was originally suggested by Li Xue, although Zhao Ying did stir things up, ultimately, it was Li Xue who acted on it.

Later, Li Shujun sold some household items, made a few million, and Zhao Ying used part of the money to pay off gambling debts.

The rest of the money ended up in Li Xue’s pocket.

For the next few days, Li Shujun stayed at home, hiding in her room, only coming out for meals.

She knew the family had taken a turn for the worse.

Both her father and mother were selfish people.

With the money under her father’s control, what will they do when it runs out?

They might even send her out to earn money.

Even if she found a job, could she let her parents extort money from her like they did from her sister?

After all, she hadn’t even finished school.

She had already been beaten several times today, her heart was filled with resentment.

Li Shujun thought for a moment, jumped up, went to the dressing room, checked, then opened the closet.

For some time, Li Shujun took advantage of her parents’ absence to secretly sell her belongings.

She then bought some high-quality replicas, kept the things she particularly liked and packed them into a suitcase, hiding it in the closet, and sold everything else, while hanging the replicas back up.

This villa belonged to Li Shuning, bought with the best options back then, the annual maintenance fees were astronomical.

The proceeds from previous sales used for maintenance fees left little remaining, on top of household expenses and paying the servants.

Though they talked about saving, Li Xue still went out every day for socializing, Zhao Ying, although not gambling anymore, still visited salons and shopped.

Li Shujun sold another car from the family, gave the money to Li Xue, ensuring they had money for daily expenses.

Li Xue seemed to plan on a comeback, planning to start a business.

Thus, Li Xue asked Li Shujun to sell everything not needed at home.

So, Li Shujun got rid of some replicas, sold off many of Zhao Ying’s jewelry, and other items like cars.

Ultimately, they gathered over a hundred million.

Of course, this was at second-hand prices, far less than their original cost.

Of course, Li Shujun also quietly set aside some money for herself.

During this period, Li Xue often took Li Shujun out for socializing, as if some investment was showing promising progress.

Li Shujun thought if her father succeeded, that would be for the best, she could still be the family’s Little Princess, worst case she might endure some grievances.

If the family had money, her parents would never be stingy.

But what if he failed.

Li Shujun preemptively took her suitcase out, storing it somewhere safe.

She had another account on her phone, besides the one for selling things, where she stashed her savings. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Li Xue sought out an old connection, learned some inside information, and decided to invest money in it.

He planned on making a comeback and needed capital for it.

However, the friend said they only accepted large investments, no small contributors.

The prospects seemed very promising though, with an investment of ten million, they could double in just six months.

Li Xue thought to himself, invest now, and when it doubles, restart his old business.

After all, they would need an office building, to hire staff, all requiring money.

Clearly a hundred million wouldn’t be enough.

Li Xue aimed high, thinking he could achieve directly in one leap what his previous business failed due to partnership issues and his sister’s success made him determined not to believe he was any lesser.

Li Xue invested the money.

Despite still having tens of millions left, with investments, naturally one has to mingle within the circle.

So spending was quite significant.

After all, they were accustomed to spending.

Now they saw hope for the future, those tens of millions were nothing.

Moreover, the million from Li Shuning had arrived.

A week later, investors dwindled, yet everyone remained hopeful.

No one suspected any issues.

After all, the one in charge had assets worth over a billion, no reason to deceive everyone.

What Li Xue hadn’t anticipated was that half a month later, that person disappeared.

When they went to investigate, they found the person’s villa and other possessions had already been liquidated.

Upon further scrutiny, even the company itself had been transferred.

Rumor had it, it was acquired.

Li Xue was livid.

Everything at home that could be sold was sold, what’s left is just for appearances.

The money was swindled, damned it.

Why didn’t they hear anything about it?

It turned out the other party sold everything directly without intermediaries, all to people from other cities.

Even the company was bought by a foreign corporation.

The company’s employees were unaware that it even changed hands, it seems there was a prior agreement between the owner and the corporation.

The fraud amount was considerable, after all, many businessmen were involved.

Although they reported it, rumors were that the person fled the country, and his family left even earlier.

The odds of recovery were slim.
