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

You genuinely wish for the well-being of the Li family. However, this matter involves the very foundation of the Li family and is of great importance; a hasty conclusion cannot be drawn.

Li Wenqian's expression was solemn as he earnestly entrusted, "Jing Shu, please hold back for now and give me some time to thoroughly investigate the truth. Once I have uncovered all the hidden details and obtained conclusive evidence, I will need your intervention to break the deadlock and end this turmoil."

"Uncle Li, there's no need to be so polite." Shen Jingshu nodded slightly, her tone gentle and sincere. "I am now also a member of the Li family. As long as the Li family is at peace, I will naturally feel at ease. It's just my duty."

A simple phrase, "We're family," instantly soothes all estrangement and distance.

A warm feeling welled up in Li Wenqian's heart, and he nodded repeatedly, "Alright, alright! We're family after all, no need for formalities!"

After a moment's thought, he asked with some caution, "By the way, Jing Shu, if we're going to break the formation later, what items do we need to prepare in advance, and what preparations do we need to make? The family will fully cooperate with you."

"No need for preparations." Shen Jingshu shook her head slightly, her tone calm and confident. "With my current cultivation level, this mere Yin Sha Transfer Array is nothing to fear. Breaking the array will be a piece of cake."

With her words as a reassurance, Li Wenqian finally felt relieved, and his nerves, which had been tense all night, finally relaxed.

"With your words, I'm completely relieved. It's late, we won't disturb your rest, please get some rest."

"it is good."

Shen Jingshu stood up to see them off, watching Li Wenqian and his son Li Hanting turn and leave. She gently closed the door, shutting out the deep night outside and her complicated thoughts.

After the noise subsided, the room finally returned to complete tranquility and peace.

She shook off her exhaustion, walked slowly to the bedside, and lay down fully clothed.

In the stillness of the night, the girl slept peacefully.

Unbeknownst to anyone, countless tiny, pure golden merits were silently surrounding her at that moment.

Today, she went live to answer questions and help people, expose love scams, redeem a girl with a stubborn obsession, suppress the vengeful spirits in a haunted house, help the souls of a family of six escape from suffering, and provide crucial clues free of charge to help the police catch the real culprit in a long-standing cold case and resolve a long-standing injustice.

Each and every one of these acts is a virtuous deed.

Wisps of golden merit light slowly flowed into her body through her pores, gentle, lingering, and pure.

Without needing to consciously regulate her breathing or refine her essence, Shen Jingshu, in her slumber, had her physical body and soul operating spontaneously, quietly absorbing and tempering this vast merit.

Her meridians were gently nourished by the power of merit, her cultivation progressed steadily, and the righteous aura around her became increasingly profound and clear.

The next day at dawn.

Li Wenqian and Li Hanting acted with extreme care, remaining completely discreet throughout, secretly mobilizing their most trusted confidants to quietly launch a thorough investigation.

The investigation proceeded along two parallel lines: on one hand, it delved into the origins and foundations of the Su family, and on the other hand, it thoroughly investigated Li Siya's private activities over the years. As the clues were peeled back layer by layer, shocking truths surfaced one by one.

The Su family's initial capital, connections, and resources all depended on the Li family. It was only through the Li family's support and protection that they were able to gain a foothold in the business world and gradually grow their business. It can be said that without the Li family, there would be no Su family today.

Even after receiving decades of support and kindness from the Li family, Li Siya remained ungrateful and unsatisfied. Relying on her status as the Li family's adopted daughter, she acted recklessly and her desires swelled to an extreme. She even secretly set up a Yin Sha Feng Shui formation to erode and steal the Li family's fortune over the years, attempting to use the main family's foundation to nourish her own Su family's fortune.

In addition, his confidant uncovered even more hidden secrets.

Li Siya frequently travels to and from Thailand, her movements shrouded in mystery. The sinister and unorthodox magic she practices was learned abroad. Over the years, using her Li family identity as cover, she has secretly committed numerous illegal acts, accumulating wealth, making enemies, and plotting schemes in secret. Her methods are insidious and covert, and no one dares to investigate or interfere.

The evidence and facts laid out before us were shocking and appalling.

Li Wenqian looked at the thick stack of investigation files in his hand, extremely furious, and his heart was filled with coldness.

The younger sister he watched grow up turned out to be an ingrate who had been hiding in the house for years, robbing the family of their wealth!

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Wenqian immediately drove to the old Li family residence in Jiangnan.

Since Old Master Li stepped down and handed over full authority to Li Wenqian to manage the Li family, the two elderly people have been living quietly in their old house in Jiangnan, rarely getting involved in affairs. When Li Wenqian remarried and married Lin Wanqing, the two elders were unable to attend the wedding due to their advanced age and the long distance.

Moreover, the two elders had always harbored some reservations about Lin Wanqing.

With Li Wenqian's top-tier status as the head of the Li family, even in his second marriage, countless noble ladies would flock to him, making any choice a perfect match and a powerful alliance. Yet, he chose Lin Wanqing, who came from an ordinary background and had a daughter, Shen Jingshu, who was also his burden.

The old man had previously had someone thoroughly investigate Lin Wanqing's background, and found him to be unremarkable and unremarkable, so he never really liked him.

However, their son was already old, and their children and grandchildren had started their own families and careers. The two elderly people were indifferent to their children's marriages and no longer wanted to interfere with them. So they tacitly agreed and remained indifferent and distant, never truly accepting the mother and daughter.

Today, however, after Mr. and Mrs. Li reviewed all the evidence brought by Li Wenqian and saw through Li Siya's wolfish ambition, ingratitude, and wickedness, the two old people were instantly enraged.

The old man was so angry that he trembled all over, his blood was surging, and he immediately developed high blood pressure. He hurriedly called his family doctor to calm him down.

After a long while, the old man's breathing calmed down slightly, but his face remained ashen, and his eyes were filled with deep anger and disappointment.

Having lived a lifetime, led the Li family for half his life, and witnessed countless schemes and plots, the pillar of the Li family, now felt only chills in his heart.

The adopted daughter whom they had carefully raised and protected turned out to be a sinner who turned against her master's family, stole the family's fortune, and secretly brought disaster to the clan!

"What a misfortune for our family! What a misfortune for our family!"

The old man sighed deeply, his cloudy eyes devoid of any warmth of kinship, filled only with resolute coldness: "Since she has been so ruthless and unjust to the Li family, secretly plotting to harm her own relatives and steal the family fortune, then don't blame us for being heartless!"

"There's no need to consider sibling relationships anymore. Let her reap what she sows! Jing Shu is a shrewd and kind-hearted girl with extraordinary abilities. This time, out of family affection, she has repeatedly given advice and secretly protected the Li family, which is more than enough. From now on, let Jing Shu not worry about any favors and deal with the situation as she sees fit!"

He paused, then spoke with utmost seriousness, earnestly instructing Li Wenqian:

"After this matter is resolved, you must properly thank Jing Shu."

The old man had lived a long and eventful life, and his mind was clear-headed; he had long since seen through everything.

When Lin Wanqing and her daughter first entered the Li family, they seemed ordinary, but Shen Jingshu possessed extraordinary skills that allowed her to sever yin and yang, break feng shui, overcome calamities, and stabilize the family's fortune.

With her by their side, the Li family is the greatest blessing and trump card, enough to ensure the Li family's peace and stability for generations, free from all evil and calamities.

Compared to Li Siya, who harbors malicious intentions and turns against her own family, Shen Jingshu, the stepdaughter who returned home halfway through her life, is the true benefactor who can support and protect the entire Li family.

"Choose a day to bring Wanqing and Jingshu to the old house," the old man said slowly, his attitude completely changed. "Before, we, the old man and woman, were narrow-minded and prejudiced, and neglected them, mother and daughter. From now on, the entire Li family must treat Jingshu well, respect her, protect her, and value her!"

Li Wenqian nodded respectfully: "I understand. I will go back and make proper arrangements for the follow-up matters. Jing Shu is calm and insightful, so I will ask for her wishes first, and then bring them to the old house to pay their respects to the two elders."

"Remember this carefully," the old man solemnly instructed again, "This kind of capable and benevolent person is a tremendous opportunity for the Li family. We must not neglect her or disappoint her. Only by treating her well can we ensure the prosperity of the Li family for generations to come."

"Your son will keep this in mind."

Li Wenqian responded, his mind now completely clear.
