She's a shrewd and sweet woman who transmigrated into a book.

Chapter 5: The Good Stepmother in Others' Eyes is Actually Very Shrewd!
Liu Jingyi didn't care what others thought of her; all she knew was that her most important task right now was to cling to Leng Yunting's coattails.

"Jingyi, your family has sent some people over. Your mother has been waiting for you for a while. Why don't you go back and see them?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jingyi's smile slowly faded.

What mother? Her original mother had died when she was young; the other woman was her father's second wife.

Liu Jingyi is not the same Liu Jingyi as before; she foolishly believes that her stepmother is doing everything for her own good.

As soon as she reached her doorstep, she saw a woman wearing a cheongsam, with two lines of tears still hanging on her beautiful face: "Xiaoyi, poor child, Yunting is so indifferent to you, how can you live with him? This is too much!"

This sounds like it's for her benefit.

If it were the old Liu Jingyi, she would definitely be on the same side as the woman in front of her and join her in condemning Leng Yunting. But now that she has a different soul and has read this novel, she knows clearly that the woman in front of her is not worried about whether she is doing well or not. She would rather she be doing poorly!
She wouldn't be as silly as the original owner of this body!
In the book, not long after the original owner divorced Leng Yunting, the stepmother introduced her daughter to Leng Yunting, saying that Liu Yunyun was more capable, sensible and good at managing a household than her, unlike the original owner who could do nothing but have a pretty face and a good figure.

Liu Jingyi really wanted to say, "Who can't do that? It's you, you old woman, who said it."

The original owner of this body was truly devoted to her stepmother. She did whatever she was told, gave her whatever she wanted, and was extremely obedient. However, this was also because the woman played the role so well.

Chen Biyu was also very popular and was known as a good stepmother.

Other stepmothers not only have to demand things from their own children, but it's already a good thing if they don't mistreat their stepdaughters.

However, Chen Biyu didn't compete for anything, and she was incredibly good to Liu Jingyi.

Not to mention outsiders, even the original owner of this body liked her very much.

Chen Biyu's daughter always called Liu Jianhong "uncle," but Liu Jingyi always called Chen Biyu "mom." Liu Jingyi was practically raised by Chen Biyu, so their relationship was quite special.

The original owner wasn't actually as stupid as she appeared in the book; it's just that she was raised by Chen Biyu and had special feelings for her.

However, the current Liu Jingyi is not the original owner of this body, and she has no feelings for her. Then, looking at the woman in front of her, she said, "Leng Yunting is very good to me and has not bullied me. It is my fault for making him angry."

Upon hearing this, Chen Biyu's expression subtly changed. If Liu Jingyi hadn't been replaced, she wouldn't have noticed it at all. But it only lasted for a moment before she quickly said, "Really? I was mistaken. I don't think Yun Ting would dare to treat you badly!"

Liu Jingyi was no longer the naive and innocent person she once was, but now was not the time to break ties with the woman in front of her. After all, the things her mother had left her were still in this woman's hands, and she didn't want to let her get away with it for nothing.

"Yes, I was too willful before. I will live a good life with Yunting from now on."

"What?" Chen Biyu said subconsciously, then realized what she meant and looked at Liu Jingyi with a smile, saying, "My Jingyi is not willful, and she is good-looking. Yunting should spoil you. If he treats you badly, just tell us. Your father and I will definitely not abandon you."

Although Liu Jingyi didn't like the person in front of her, she still had to put on an act for the time being. She then put on a troubled look and said, "Leng Yunting's family needs some money to take care of things. He wants me to... to go home and borrow some money."

Chen Biyu's face was particularly unpleasant, but only for a moment. Then she looked at Liu Jingyi and said, "Jingyi, you know that your father has always been in charge of the family. Right now, your father is angry. Why don't you go back and apologize to him and have a good talk with him..." As Chen Biyu spoke, she secretly glanced at Liu Jingyi's expression, which was full of impatience. She was obviously still angry with Old Man Liu.

She sneered inwardly. This little girl, whom she had spoiled since childhood, could she not control? Getting her to hand over money was out of the question.

Liu Jingyi's marriage was something she was really jealous of back then. After all, the Leng family was a family they couldn't possibly be worthy of, and even now that problems had arisen, they still couldn't catch up with them.

That brat Liu Jingyi is good at everything, and everyone listens to her, except when it comes to Leng Yunting, she insists on doing things her own way.

Although Chen Biyu thought this way, what she said was still seen by others as her being considerate of Liu Jingyi.

Liu Jingyi was tired of Chen Biyu's subtle attempts to sow discord every time.

"Right now, everyone's saying something's happened to the Leng family. You can't be foolish and focus all your attention on him. You can't let him drag you down with you. Your father is at a critical juncture right now."

These words sound like they're for Liu Jingyi's good, but they're actually a form of intimidation.

Leng Yunting's mother was indeed the daughter of a wealthy family, owning many villas in both H City and Z City.

However, in the early stages, Leng Yunting's maternal grandfather had already handed over a lot of things. Later, due to the unrest, some of them were confiscated, but Leng Yunting's maternal grandfather still left a lot of things for Leng Yunting's mother, which Leng Yunting had mentioned to the original owner of the body before.

Even without telling the original owner of the body, Liu Jingyi knew that Leng Yunting was a big piece of fat meat in her eyes.

She's not the same fool from before; she's from the modern era, and her thinking is far beyond what people of this time can comprehend.

Leng Yunting was a perfect man in modern times. Even if he doesn't turn out well in the future, she can still raise a little puppy!
No one loses out, but there's one thing: Leng Yunting will never get rid of her in this lifetime; she's determined to stick with him.

After all, he was so rich and powerful that later on, his family members were all big shots in the military, and he himself made a name for himself in the military.

He's definitely rich and powerful, and most importantly, he's good-looking!

Given his circumstances, even Liu Jingyi, who had lived in modern times, wouldn't dare to dream of such a thing. Even if her family had some money, it was still beyond her and her family's reach.

Things are different now!
This man is now her man!
Liu Jingyi had no choice but to cling tightly to this powerful figure in front of her.

Chen Biyu looked at the young girl in front of her without responding, and then lost the desire to continue. In short, she had achieved her goal for the day, so she didn't want to continue. She then smiled and said, "Jingyi, I'll go back first. When you have time, go back and have a good talk with your father. There's no such thing as a family feud that lasts overnight!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jingyi immediately adopted a reluctant expression: "We'll see!"
