Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 161 - 1: The Strong Woman and the Pretty Boy (Part 1)

Chapter 161: Chapter 1: The Strong Woman and the Pretty Boy (Part 1)

Yun Zimo was dominant, and ultimately the Yun Family maintained a watchful attitude toward Li Shuning. For one, Yun Zimo was of an age where he showed no interest in other women except for being gentle and thoughtful towards Li Shuning. If they were to do anything to her, it was uncertain how Yun Zimo would react.

Secondly, Li Shuning seemed quite fine herself. Though her family background was somewhat lacking, the Yun Family didn’t solely focus on family prestige.

Especially after Yun Zimo’s mother was healed of her insomnia by Li Shuning, the Yun Family gradually warmed up to her.

Li Shuning and Yun Zimo, with one in the south and the other in the north, began to consider their long-distance relationship now that they were together.

Yun Zimo still suggested that Li Shuning come to the north. After all, this was Yun Zimo’s base, and if anyone like Qinglian Fairy appeared in the real world, he could completely disregard them.

Another point was Li Shuning’s studio, which had greater career potential in the Capital City.

Of course, the only difficult issue was Li Shuning’s parents. Being the only daughter, if she moved to the Capital City, she wouldn’t be willing to leave her parents alone in HZ.

Yun Zimo was usually very busy, but when Li Shuning was around, he accompanied her the entire time.

When Li Shuning had to return to HZ, he was quite reluctant. As Li Shuning hadn’t made a decision yet, his heart was filled with unease.

Li Shuning kissed Yun Zimo lightly before smiling and boarding the plane.

Just as the plane took off, the voice of 006 sounded: "The host is about to enter the Task World."

When Li Shuning opened her eyes again, she felt dizzy, and her entire body was extremely uncomfortable.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to start receiving the plot.

Once she opened her eyes, they were full of cold sharpness.

In this world, Li Shuning was a powerful woman. Her parents died early, leaving behind a company, and amid her uncles’ coveting, she held up the entire Li Group. The hardships she endured through this were unknown to outsiders; all they could see was Li Shuning’s dominance, calm, and wisdom.

Originally, everything in Li Shuning’s life was good. Although she hadn’t found her one true love, she had lived a comfortable life.

Everything changed with the intervention of a man.

That man was originally a small-time male actor in the entertainment industry, impatient and scatterbrained except for a good-looking face.

The male actor experienced the casting couch; this man wanted to rise and, during such encounters, met with a perverted male and was played to ruin, dying within days.

He was given a second chance, returning to a time before entering the entertainment industry.

Reflecting on his tumultuous days in the entertainment world, he resolved never to return to that circle but was determined to make a name for himself.

Rarely did his mind work, recalling once being a male eye-candy, accompanying a female tycoon at a banquet where a woman radiated brilliance and held a prominent position.

The CEO of Li Group.

At that time, he even envied that woman living so freely and had looked up some information on Li Shuning.

He thought, such a woman most lacked genuine emotion.

Using all his means, Zhong Min finally caught Li Shuning’s attention.

Li Shuning was indifferently detached from most things, but Zhong Min’s persistent pursuit and occasional care inexplicably moved her.

Especially once, Zhong Min gifted her an item that deeply touched her. She had spent many years trying to collect it without success, yet it was something her parents had always been fond of.

Because of that item, Li Shuning let down her guard.

They finally got together.

Of course, Zhong Min learned about the item while still in the entertainment industry, and he spent some time acquiring it, but compared to when Li Shuning sought it out herself, it was much easier. After all, no one yet knew Li Shuning wanted the item.

With a CEO girlfriend, Zhong Min felt more confident.

If he stayed peacefully by Li Shuning’s side, perhaps they could have had a good life together.

However, Zhong Min wasn’t someone to live a peaceful life.

He kept bustling around, his mind still like a sieve, always wanting to achieve something significant.

Li Shuning indulged him, releasing substantial funds for him to dabble with; to her, those funds were just figures.

Unexpectedly, her attitude toward Zhong Min drew the attention of some scheming individuals.

Toward her boyfriend, Li Shuning had no defenses.

She gave him funds, allowing him to venture outside freely.

Eventually, someone set him up to sign some documents; when he realized, he was already bewildered.

Even selling him wouldn’t cover the worth of those documents.

Those people threatened him that if he didn’t comply, they would disclose everything to Li Shuning.

During interactions with those people, Zhong Min also got involved with other women.

One even became pregnant with his child.

Zhong Min always thought, compared to before, how much difference would it make to support another woman, and given that Li Shuning was his girlfriend, yet never let him touch her, he considered this a lesson for her.

Now, it was all used to threaten him.

At this point, he finally realized that if Li Shuning found out everything, he would be finished.

Without Li Shuning’s support, he was nothing. And that amount of money, even Li Shuning, would unlikely be able to give it up easily. Would she willingly offer such sums for a boyfriend?

Following instructions from those individuals, Zhong Min went to Li Shuning’s office and replaced an important document.

Because of that document, Li Group suffered significant financial loss.

Normally, with Li Shuning’s capability and the power of Li Group, it would just be a loss of a lot of money.

But Zhong Min felt Li Shuning was doomed.

He had lived well for a while, and couldn’t resign to returning to poverty.

Knowing the password to Li Shuning’s safe, he stole its contents and sold them. Li Shuning had established herself in Li Group by holding 60% of its shares.

However, her stock documents were stolen by Zhong Min.

And other assets under Li Shuning’s name were stolen by him as well.

Li Shuning was severely harmed by this man.

The feeling of betrayal was terrible; she had believed she treated Zhong Min well, wanting to help him knowing his poor condition after they became lovers, but ultimately, he left her destitute.

Most importantly, all this was orchestrated from behind the scenes. Zhong Min didn’t even know the value of those assets, content with the one million he received and living freely with that woman.

Even if Li Shuning reported to the police, those people had covered their tracks perfectly, leaving no way to recover the assets.

While discovering everything, Li Shuning began reflecting post-crisis; after losing her parents, her family members eyed her eagerly, and she thus longed for genuine affection, which blinded her to Zhong Min’s deceit.

Li Shuning was beautiful; her beauty, while she was the CEO of Li Group, was protected by her status from coveters.

Now fallen from grace, Li Shuning was seen as a prize in the eyes of some.
