Wen Zhili had finally reached her limit.
The first thing she did was kick Huo Cheng hard in the lower body.
Huo Cheng fell to the ground, letting out a pained groan.
“Wen Zhili, you poisonous woman!”
Was she trying to cripple him?
Did she think that if she couldn’t have him, no one else should either?
Huo Cheng was in excruciating pain, tears of agony streaming from the corners of his eyes.
But Wen Zhili only looked at him coldly and said, “That’s payback for all the filthy insults you hurled at me earlier! Huo Cheng, believe it or not, I never said those things to Wen Yuxuan.”
With that, Wen Zhili turned and left.
As she walked away, she deliberately stepped on Huo Cheng one more time and even stepped over his head.
Huo Cheng was nearly driven mad with rage, roaring, “Wen Zhili, don’t think that by acting all high and mighty, I’ll believe you! I’m telling you, no matter what tricks you pull—whether it’s playing hard to get or trying to seduce me—I’ll never fall for you! Just give up already.”
Wen Zhili didn’t even look back, not bothering to waste her breath on an idiot.
…
After leaving the garden and walking out of the Huo family’s gate, Wen Zhili saw a familiar Maybach already parked at the entrance.
Huo Shengbai stepped out of the car and opened the door for her.
“Lili, let me take you home.”
Knowing how difficult it was to find a taxi in this villa area, Wen Zhili nodded in agreement.
After driving her back to her apartment, Huo Shengbai handed her a large bag of snacks.
Wen Zhili sighed helplessly. “I’m not a child anymore.”
Huo Shengbai patted her head, his eyes filled with affection. “Alright, my Lili isn’t a child anymore. Just one more year, and you can marry me.”
Wen Zhili’s face flushed instantly, leaving her speechless.
Truth be told, she had loved snacks as a child, but in the orphanage, they were a luxury she rarely got to enjoy.
She never imagined that now, as an adult, someone would give her a huge bag of snacks every time.
“Thank you.”
She turned and walked toward her door, entering the passcode before it clicked open.
Remembering something, she couldn’t help but look back and say, “Last night… thank you for that too.”
After saying this, she blushed like a shy rabbit and quickly scurried into her nest, hiding away.
Huo Shengbai stood where he was, his eyes soft as he chuckled softly.
His Lili was just too adorable!
He had almost wanted to keep her from going home just now.
…
Once Wen Zhili was back home, she immediately checked her finances.
She looked at the stocks she had bought for one million yuan, and just as in her previous life, they had skyrocketed, earning her three million yuan!
Before the bear market arrived, Wen Zhili quickly sold off all the stocks.
After calculating, she now had over four million yuan in cash.
Although this amount was nothing in Huo Shengbai’s eyes, she was still thrilled.
Following her pre-planned strategy, Wen Zhili contacted a film company that she knew would become hugely popular in the future.
From what she remembered, the movie “Soaring” would earn over five billion yuan at the box office in the future.
But during its initial preparation phase, no one had faith in the film.
Director Lu Hong had been nearly desperate back then, pleading with many in the industry for investments, but with little success.
At the time, Director Lu Hong was still an unknown filmmaker, and no one could have predicted that he would become one of the most renowned and highest-grossing directors in the country.When Director Lu Hong heard a soft, gentle woman’s voice on the phone offering to invest three million in him, he nearly burst into tears of joy.
Director Lu Hong choked up, saying, “Thank you, thank you for your trust.”
For him, this was nothing short of a lifeline!
The woman’s soft voice carried a firm tone: “You’re welcome. Actually, I believe in you—you will definitely create an outstanding, successful blockbuster! You have the talent. Keep it up!”
Having faced rejection too many times and endured too much doubt, Director Lu heard someone willing to believe in him for the first time. His nose tingled with emotion, and he finally couldn’t hold back his tears.
“I will definitely live up to your expectations!”
Later, even after achieving fame and success, Director Lu Hong never forgot that it was Wen Zhili who had extended a helping hand at the most critical moment.
He regarded Wen Zhili as the greatest benefactor of his life.
The next day, at a café, Director Lu Hong prepared to sign the contract with the investor.
According to the profit-sharing ratio in the contract, the investor would receive ten percent of the box office revenue.
Before meeting the investor, Lu Hong was curious about who would invest in him.
When a young woman wearing a qipao, with an elegant and graceful figure, walked into the café, Lu Hong was stunned.
Director Lu Hong had seen many beautiful actresses in the industry, but this young woman not only matched the looks of top-tier stars but also stood out with her elegant and pure, unique aura.
Just by smiling at him, she made Director Lu Hong want to recruit her into the entertainment industry.
He was certain that if she entered the industry, she would become a huge star.
After signing the contract, Wen Zhili was taken aback when Director Lu Hong invited her to participate in the film.
Then, she chuckled softly and said, “I don’t have any interest in that for now, thank you.”
Director Lu Hong knew this was a polite refusal.
Still, before leaving, he couldn’t resist giving her his business card, hoping she would contact him anytime.
Wen Zhili looked at the card and couldn’t help but feel a wave of emotion.
After all, in the future, many celebrities would flock to Director Lu Hong, fighting tooth and nail for even a minor role in his films, because anyone who starred in his movies was guaranteed awards or box office success.
She never expected that now, she had obtained this opportunity so effortlessly.
She had to thank fate for giving her a second chance at life!
After watching Director Lu leave, Wen Zhili calmly took out her laptop.
On the screen was the surveillance footage from her home.
Wen Zhili leisurely sipped her coffee, in no hurry, until a familiar figure appeared on the screen—Wen Yuxuan!
A faint smile curled at the corner of Wen Zhili’s lips.
She had finally waited for her!
Wen Zhili remembered that in her previous life, on this very day, when Wen Yuxuan was being forced by Master Huo to go abroad, she had stolen many of Wen Zhili’s luxury bags and clothes out of revenge before fleeing overseas overnight.
Logically, Wen Yuxuan shouldn’t have been short of money—after all, her parents and Huo Cheng had given her plenty—but her biological father was a gambler, and no matter how much money she gave him, it was like pouring it into a bottomless pit…
Wen Zhili watched as Wen Yuxuan entered the password and stepped through her front door.
She wasn’t surprised that Wen Yuxuan knew her home’s password; she must have heard it from Huo Cheng.
To wait for this day, she hadn’t even changed the password to her home.Wen Yuxuan was clever enough to cut the power before entering, thinking the surveillance system wouldn’t capture her.
But in reality, she had prepared many surveillance cameras that didn’t require electricity to operate.
At that moment, Wen Yuxuan stealthily slipped into her walk-in closet, intending to search for her luxury bags and clothes.
Just as Wen Yuxuan’s eyes gleamed with excitement and greed, and she pulled open the cabinet door, a pile of something suddenly tumbled out…
It was some kind of yellow substance!
It splattered all over her meticulously styled hair, her black lace dress, and even into her open mouth.
Wen Yuxuan’s face still wore a smile.
She trembled all over, unable to believe what had happened, and reached up to touch her hair.
When she saw what was on her palm, she finally believed it!
Wen Yuxuan let out a sharp, frantic scream, kneeling on the floor and vomiting uncontrollably.
Wen Zhili smiled as she watched the surveillance footage on her computer, feeling a thrill of satisfaction even through the screen.
Wen Yuxuan!
This is the grand gift I prepared for you.
