Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

The room was completely silent.

Li Hanting's fingers tightened slightly, his knuckles turned white, and his heart turned completely cold.

The most terrifying enemies are not those from the outside world, but the wolves lurking in our blood, disguised as our closest relatives.

After a moment of silence, Li Hanting slowly revealed the family secrets that had been kept hidden for many years.

"Li Siya is indeed not a biological daughter of the Li family."

His voice was low and calm, tinged with a hint of regret and cold disappointment.

"In his early years, my grandparents only had one son, my father, Li Wenqian. Back then, my grandfather had a close friend who and his wife passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a young orphan girl with no one to rely on. My grandparents couldn't bear it, so they took young Li Siya back to the Li family to raise her."

"They treated her as their own daughter and never mistreated her in the slightest. They not only included her in the Li family genealogy and recognized her as a daughter of the Li family, but also raised her with the meticulous care of a top-tier noble lady. She was taught music, chess, calligraphy, painting, etiquette, and business studies, and was given unparalleled glory and a noble status."

From childhood to adulthood, Li Siya enjoyed all the privileges of being the eldest daughter of the Li family. She lived a life of luxury, surrounded by admirers. Compared to her only son, Li Wenqian, the old master and matriarch were even more indulgent and fond of her.

But no one could have predicted that this lifelong kindness and nurturing would ultimately produce a treacherous wolf that would turn on its master.

"But after she came of age, she became increasingly stubborn and obstinate." A cold glint flashed in Li Hanting's eyes. "Ignoring her family's advice, she insisted on marrying Su Yunhan, who was penniless and from a poor family at the time."

"Her grandparents tried their best to stop her, fearing that she would suffer and ruin her future if she married someone less than her age. But she was blinded by love at the time and insisted on her own way, even causing a major rift with her family. In the end, the elders softened and could not overcome her obsession, so they had no choice but to compromise and give in."

"Even though she insisted on marrying into a poor family and defying her family, the Li family still treated her with utmost kindness and prepared an extremely generous dowry for her, including real estate, shares, and cash flow, enough for her to live a life of comfort and wealth for the rest of her life."

It was precisely because of the Li family's astronomical dowry and the Li family's inherent connections and good fortune that Li Siya and her husband lived a prosperous life in the first few years after their marriage.

Starting from nothing, the Su family quickly gained a foothold by leveraging the resources, connections, and good fortune of the Li family. Their business grew larger and larger, and their wealth increased steadily.

Everyone said that Li Siya was lucky; even though she married into a poor family, she was still able to live a wealthy and carefree life.

But no one knew that from the moment she married into the Su family and harbored resentment, the seeds of jealousy had already taken root and sprouted wildly in her heart.

She wasn't of the Li family bloodline, and deep down she always harbored a sense of inferiority and stubbornness about being dependent on others. Even though the Li family treated her with the utmost kindness, she still resented it—why was Li Wenqian born as the rightful heir of the Li family, possessing all the family's glory and fortune, while she was just an outsider who had been picked up?

Why should her wealth and stability depend entirely on others and her being at their beck and call?

Why should everything she painstakingly obtained belong to the legitimate bloodline of the Li family?

Over time, her inferiority complex turned into overwhelming jealousy and hatred. She forgot all the kindness shown to her and was left with nothing but resentment and greed.

So she secretly plotted for many years, even setting up a sinister feng shui scheme to steal the orthodox fortune of the Li family and nourish her own and the Su family's fortune.

She wants to drain the Li family's century-long fortune, to cause the Li family, which should have been prosperous and enduring, to decline and fall, and to make her, an outsider and her children, step on the legitimate bloodline of the Li family to reach the pinnacle of wealth and honor.

After hearing all the stories, the coldness in Shen Jingshu's eyes intensified.

Human greed and envy are the most terrifying things.

Grandparents were kind and generous throughout their lives, treating the orphan girl well, but in the end, they were met with a devastating backlash that had been planned for decades.

Li Hanting raised his eyes, his tone icy and chilling: "So, all of this was, from the very beginning, a meticulously planned revenge and plunder."

The specific grudges and unresolved issues need not be delved into now; we can hear Li Siya explain them herself in the future.

Suppressing the chill surging within him, Li Hanting looked up at Shen Jingshu and asked earnestly, "The most crucial thing right now is the formation. Jingshu, are you confident you can break this luck-borrowing formation?"

"Breaking it isn't difficult." Shen Jingshu said calmly and composedly, then pointed out the key point, "But this 'borrowing luck' formation is extremely insidious and unique. It's a death formation set up using Li Siya's own luck as a medium and her essence and blood as a guide. If the formation is forcibly broken, the person who set it up will suffer an extremely terrifying feng shui backlash. At best, their luck will collapse, they will lose money and be plagued by disasters; at worst, they will suffer a shortened lifespan, serious illness, and the destruction of their home."

Li Hanting's eyes flashed with chilling coldness as he nodded coldly: "Heh, she was ruthless first, secretly plotting against the Li family for decades, so don't blame us for being unjust. The backlash is her own fault."

He hesitated for a moment, then made a prudent decision: "However, this matter concerns the foundation of the Li family and the grudges between close relatives. I will go and discuss it with my father first, and then we will decide how to proceed."

"Okay," Shen Jingshu replied.

After saying that, she turned and went back to her room.

The Li family treated her with genuine kindness and care, and she remembered all their kindness. This was a family matter for the Li family, and she shouldn't interfere too much, but if a solution was needed later, she would not stand idly by and would definitely step in to protect everyone in the Li family.

Calming down, Shen Jingshu realized that she had been away on a case for many days and had not been able to go live.

The fans in the live stream room have probably been waiting for a long time.

She has solved a series of major cases in Ning City, accumulating a lot of merit. But merit and blessings are always welcome, and no one ever complains about having too much. Why not take advantage of her free time tonight to broadcast a fortune telling show, accumulating good karma and merit?

With her mind made up, Shen Jingshu put on her mask, adjusted the camera, and started the live stream on time.

Meanwhile, Li Hanting went to the study alone to discuss the feng shui formation with his father, Li Wenqian.

Li Siya, who had previously stayed at the villa, had already been picked up by the Su family and left the Li family with her two children.

As soon as Shen Jingshu's live stream started, her millions of followers on the platform instantly received a notification that she was going live, and countless viewers flocked to the stream.

In just a few dozen seconds, the number of viewers in the live stream surged to 20,000.

Today, Shen Jingshu is undoubtedly a top streamer in the metaphysics category, boasting millions of followers. In the niche and unpopular field of metaphysics live streaming, such a scale of data is unprecedented and incredible.

Moreover, after the previous turmoil, Li Beichen had already acquired the live streaming platform and specifically instructed the back-end team to give special attention to Shen Jingshu's live stream.

Upon seeing the streamer, whom the boss had specifically instructed, start broadcasting, the back-end staff immediately posted a top-of-the-line announcement on the platform's homepage, following the highest standards, and went all out to drive traffic to the live stream.

The number of online users is still skyrocketing, with comments scrolling endlessly and the popularity soaring.

Seeing that most of the audience had entered, Shen Jingshu lightly tapped the screen with her fingertip and started the familiar live broadcast process.

"As usual, we will only be doing three divinations tonight. Viewers who win a lucky bag can apply to connect and ask questions."
