Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Xi Yu did not brush her hand away. Perhaps because Wen Shengsheng was also very weak, his expression was not so cold and stern.

"what's up?"

"I...I want to leave the Xi family, is that alright?"

"What did you say?" Xi Yu narrowed his eyes, thinking he had misheard.

Wen Shengsheng organized her thoughts and said seriously, "I said, I want to leave the Xi family mansion. I don't want to be the Xi family's adopted daughter anymore."

“I know that my expenses have been covered by the Xi family all these years. I owe your family a lot of money. I am willing to write an IOU, or I can mortgage the house in Jiuru Mansion to you first.”

"I followed you back to the Xi family back then. With just one word from you, I can have nothing to do with the Xi family anymore."

“You and Li… oh no, you and your sister-in-law are already engaged. She will be marrying into the family soon. I was too rash before and said things I shouldn’t have. She will inevitably feel awkward seeing me. I don’t want anything now. I want to leave. I want to leave the Xi family completely and not get in your way.”

"Can you help me?"

In her previous life, her relationship with Xi Yu reached a freezing point after she was drugged and had sex with him.

In this life, none of these ridiculous things happened, and he and Li Wanqiu were doing well. Although he and the Xi family had raised him for many years, she had at least saved Xi Yu's life back then.

Given this life-saving grace, if she lowers her stance a bit, she should be able to make him feel guilty and help her get rid of the Xi family.

Xi Yu's hand, which was being held by Wen Shengsheng, trembled slightly, and a rare look of struggle and confusion appeared on his face.

A glimmer of hope ignited in Wen Shengsheng's heart.

He pressed on, saying, "Brother Yu, I'm not someone who craves luxury. The reason I've lived in the Xi family all these years is because you're my only family. Without you, I'd be all alone again."

"But now I've figured it out. We're not from the same world. I can't fit into your lives. I'll treat everything that happened before as a dream, something that's gone. I'm willing to leave, and from now on we'll have nothing to do with each other."

"Please help me, okay?"

Just like when she was a child, she looked at Xi Yu with red eyes, grabbed one of his fingers, and shook it gently.

The next moment, Xi Yu suddenly shook off her hand, "No."

He lowered his head, his gaze hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to discern his emotions, but the chilling aura emanating from him sent shivers down Wen Shengsheng's spine.

She hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "So, you still want me to help the Xi family with the marriage alliance?"

“I didn’t say you should marry into the Xi family, I just wanted you to have some contact with Li Chuan. You’re already tied to the Xi family, you can’t leave.”

"Get some rest." He walked out with a cold face.

The moment the door closed, Wen Shengsheng slowly dropped her pleading expression, her face turning icy cold.

She had already humbled herself so much, yet he still refused.

Xi Yu, you are truly heartless!

.......

With Wen Shengsheng's approval, she quickly got in touch with Li Chuan.

Li Chuan was also confined to his home for several days.

After learning about what Wen Shengsheng had gone through at home, he felt very guilty, realizing that he had been too reckless that day, which had made things so serious.

But he said he couldn't be with Wen Shengsheng because he already had someone he liked, a girl named Ruth.

However, his parents didn't approve of the relationship, and the girl didn't like him either.

Upon hearing this, Wen Shengsheng's previously lifeless heart instantly perked up, as if she had seen some hope.

She immediately expressed her willingness to help Li Chuan cover it up.

They could pretend to be getting to know each other, or even dating, but in private, Li Chuan could do whatever he wanted, and she would never interfere.

Because she really didn't want to go on any more blind dates.

She was really afraid of running into that super-strong Zhou.

Li Chuan was still somewhat hesitant.

Wen Shengsheng had no choice but to use all thirty-six stratagems to brainwash him relentlessly.

Even without Wen Shengsheng, there would still be Li Shengsheng and Wang Shengsheng. Sooner or later, Li Chuan would go on blind dates again and be scolded by his parents.

If that's the case, why make things difficult for yourself? Wouldn't it be better to pretend to comply and then do whatever you want behind the scenes?

After hesitating for a day, Li Chuan finally agreed to her proposal.

The two officially began to pretend to make contact.

......

After a few days of rest, Wen Shengsheng's knee finally recovered.

She works during the day and locks herself in her room when she gets back to the Xi family home at night.

He was plotting how to break away from the Xi family.

She saved Xi Yu, so she doesn't owe the Xi family any favors; the only thing she owes them is money.

She did a rough calculation and was shocked to find that Xi Yu and the Xi family had spent two or three million yuan on her over the years.

It's impossible to pay off the debt with just my salary.

But then she thought of another idea.

She is a top student in finance, and is familiar with financial trading tools such as stocks, funds, and futures. Among them, futures are the fastest way to make money, and there is also the evening session, which she can trade after work.

The futures market is extremely risky, but it is also full of hidden talents. Countless retail investors with tens of thousands of yuan in capital have doubled their profits or even achieved financial freedom in a short period of time.

She currently has 3 yuan in savings, and with her memories from her previous life, she should be able to earn a considerable fortune in a short period of time.

If all goes well, within a year or two she will be able to confidently take the money, return it to Xi Yu, and leave this place.

While washing up, Wen Shengsheng opened her futures trading software to prepare for market analysis.

My phone suddenly rang, and I saw a wild and unrestrained cartoon avatar that had sent me a message.

His online name is "Specializing in kicking the good leg of a cripple."

It's that vengeful bastard from Lichuan...

I must say, this online name suits him quite well; it exudes a kind of innocent foolishness.

Li Chuan: "There's an activity at sea this weekend, I'll take you."

What activity?

Li Chuan: [It's the young master of Beijing's city center's birthday. I'll bring you along. That way, we'll be officially together. I've already told my parents.]

The Crown Prince of Beijing?

Who is that?

Li Chuan added, "Ruth was there too. I was too clingy with her before, so she always ignored me. I've been thinking about it these past few days and decided to do the opposite—bring a female companion to provoke her. Maybe it'll work."

Wen Shengsheng laughed.

【Can】

Li Chuan: [...How much do you dislike me that typing a few more words is tiring for your precious hands?]

Wen Shengsheng: [Straightforward, obedient, and not clingy—that's the perfect girlfriend.]

At this moment, Wen Shengsheng was only focused on teasing Li Chuan and was unaware that the gears of her destiny had finally begun to turn.
