Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 277: Chapter 277 Original Sin 86

Yun Shuangshuang thought over and over, and the only way to deal with Liu Zhen without confronting Liu Man Ni directly was to target Liu Cheng.

First, for Liu Zhen, who is obsessed with Liu Cheng to a pathological degree, seeing Liu Cheng suffer would hurt more than cutting her own flesh, which could strike a psychological blow to Liu Zhen.

Secondly, although Liu Zhen has acting skills and is socially adept, she is too capricious. Each year, she spends only a small amount of time filming and accepting engagements. This laziness makes her a less than satisfactory employee for that entertainment company.

Liu Zhen’s ability to choose whatever role she wants and work as much as she wants each year is inseparable from Liu Cheng’s substantial financial support.

Many excellent directors struggle to secure sponsors, or they find sponsors often pushing in untalented actors and making arbitrary script changes, resulting in completed works that don’t align with their vision. Consequently, well-written scripts frequently end up being poorly adapted and receive less success than anticipated.

Not every director is like Li Ming, with enough wealth and connections to have people begging to fund their projects.

In such situations, Liu Zhen, who comes with significant funding, knows how to conduct herself, and doesn’t interfere with directing, remains highly popular. Even if she doesn’t film many projects annually, she’s still favored, and the company expends great effort to maintain her popularity.

But all of this has one major prerequisite—Liu Zhen has money! Without money, all of her privileges would vanish. It would be difficult for Yun Shuangshuang to deal with Liu Zhen when she has money.

Even if Yun Shuangshuang manages to tarnish Liu Zhen’s reputation, she could easily use her wealth to have someone continue casting her in roles or hire online supporters to clean up her image. Yun Shuangshuang didn’t want to waste energy playing a war of public opinion with Liu Zhen, as it would be inconsequential. A tarnished reputation doesn’t hurt if one is wealthy and carefree. It’s better to cut her Heavenly Ladder at the root and clean up afterward!

Now, Yun Shuangshuang thought carefully and felt that Liu Cheng wasn’t a good person either. Feng Jinyan was driven mad by Liu Zhen, and even if they weren’t in love or married, they did have a child together. Surely, as a husband, there should be some sense of responsibility!

But Liu Cheng had no concern for Feng Jinyan. If he hadn’t been careless, not watching over Feng Jinyan while he busily conducted business, neglecting her, the caregiver might not have had the chance to harm Feng Jinyan.

Furthermore, after Feng Jinyan was found, Liu Man Ni’s matchmaking efforts were so obvious. Yun Shuangshuang initially had a misconception, believing Liu Zhen and Liu Cheng to be biological siblings, so she didn’t think otherwise. She thought Liu Man Ni’s mention of ’family’ referred to everyone with the surname Liu, not a family of three.

It’s understandable that Yun Shuangshuang didn’t think this way, but knowing Liu Zhen isn’t his biological sister, and especially since Liu Zhen had even once attempted suicide for him, Yun Shuangshuang didn’t believe Liu Cheng truly didn’t understand what Liu Man Ni meant. Did he not grasp Liu Zhen’s obsession?

Yet, in the past life, Liu Cheng never clearly defended Feng Jinyan or rebuked Liu Man Ni and Liu Zhen in the face of Liu Man Ni’s harshness towards Feng Jinyan and Liu Zhen’s veiled salt-in-the-wound taunts, flaunting her relationship with Liu Man Ni and her closeness with Liu Cheng!

Not to mention the large sums of money Liu Cheng spent on Liu Zhen. Frankly, in the past life, Yun Shuangshuang had no idea Liu Cheng was so generous to Liu Zhen, willingly spending so much to launch her to fame!

A man spending such substantial money on another woman is not normal. If they were biological siblings, one might understand it as Liu Cheng being a doting brother. But given Liu Zhen’s relationship with Liu Cheng, his actions are quite intriguing!

Perhaps Liu Cheng truly doesn’t love Liu Zhen, but he certainly doesn’t feel nothing for her. A woman loves you so deeply, living and dying for you. Even though you’re married with children, she remains devoted and unmarried, waiting for you!

No man would be unmoved by such deep affection or not feel a sense of pride, nor would they fail to feel their vanity immensely satisfied. With those feelings, he might be moved by her affection, feeling guilt for his inability to reciprocate. Often, with such emotions, a man might think, ”I can’t be with her, so I should at least compensate this woman for her devotion!”

A man’s thought to compensate a woman outside of his wife is a very dangerous signal! Maybe Liu Cheng still doesn’t love Liu Zhen, but between his loveless wife Feng Jinyan and the devoted adopted sister Liu Zhen, Liu Cheng’s choice is bound to be Liu Zhen!

That’s why Liu Cheng was so good to Liu Zhen, caring for her everywhere, spending large sums to boost her fame!

Regarding Feng Jinyan’s company, maybe at first Liu Cheng had no intention of swallowing it, but after Feng Jinyan went mad and was unable to manage the company, Liu Cheng’s thinking changed. Perhaps he tacitly allowed, or subconsciously deliberately lost, Feng Jinyan, because he had a child with her, Liu Man Ni!

Even though he couldn’t inherit Feng Jinyan’s company due to a prenuptial agreement, with a legitimate heir like Liu Man Ni, Yun Shuangshuang doesn’t believe a work-obsessed Liu Cheng, who wasn’t even inclined to marry, wouldn’t have any thoughts!

If Liu Cheng truly regarded Feng Jinyan as his wife, or if he was completely impartial, how could he tolerate his child Liu Man Ni treating Feng Jinyan so excessively? Rather than educating Liu Man Ni, he continuously let Feng Jinyan endure and indulge Liu Man Ni!

So Yun Shuangshuang wanted to directly target Liu Cheng, deal with Liu Cheng; Liu Cheng definitely has it coming!

However, although Yun Shuangshuang had this idea, dealing with Liu Cheng was no easy task. Particular memories from her past life were no longer helpful now.

Because at this point in her past life, Yun Shuangshuang was by Feng Jinyan’s side, despised by her so-called grandparents, targeted daily by Liu Man Ni, deeply consumed by self-doubt and depression, with almost no interaction with the outside world.

However, while Yun Shuangshuang might not have been paying attention to external affairs, she was relatively clear about some experiences of Liu Cheng, who frequently lingered nearby.

For instance, although Liu Cheng’s company was a major company, it wasn’t the sole giant in H City; several companies competed on equal footing, including the company Feng Jinyan took over from her parents.

Originally, the layout in H City was several large enterprises progressing side by side, but this balance was about to be disrupted.

The new mayor of H City took office, introducing a major policy, and the government plans to construct a leisure shopping street with great determination, foreseeing heavy foot traffic once it opens.
