CHAPTER 276: CHAPTER 276 ORIGINAL SIN 85

If such feelings could continue and never change, it would be quite a story. Two innocent childhood sweethearts finally becoming partners, such feelings are quite beautiful.

But this beautiful feeling came to an abrupt end after Liu Cheng went to university! Because Liu Cheng, once at university, actually changed his mind! The trouble is, Liu Cheng didn’t fall for another woman but instead became a bachelor who refused to marry! This left Liu Zhen with no opportunity even to find and defeat a rival to win back Liu Cheng’s heart!

Liu Cheng’s parents were quite upset by this and used various means to pressure Liu Cheng into marriage, but it was no use. Liu Cheng was resolute, and nothing anyone said could persuade him! Naturally, Liu Zhen was very sad that Liu Cheng did not want to marry her. Liu Zhen cried and made a fuss, even threatening suicide to force Liu Cheng to marry her! But Liu Cheng still resolutely refused.

Neither the family’s persuasion nor Liu Zhen’s crying, making a fuss, and threatening suicide changed Liu Cheng’s mind. In the end, with no other choice, everyone had to temporarily withdraw their efforts. Moreover, since Liu Cheng did not fall for someone else, Liu Zhen had not yet lost her sanity regarding Liu Cheng’s refusal to marry.

After making a fuss for a while, Liu Zhen calmed down, thinking that since Liu Cheng hadn’t changed his mind for another woman, she could also remain unmarried and wait for Liu Cheng. She could marry him whenever he wanted to marry.

But soon, something even more shocking happened to Liu Zhen! Liu Cheng, who swore he wouldn’t marry, actually married Feng Jinyan! This was like stirring up a hornet’s nest, directly igniting the jealousy in Liu Zhen’s heart! Liu Zhen’s possessiveness over Liu Cheng had become an obsession!

At first, Liu Zhen was able to remain rational, but after witnessing the sweet interactions between Feng Jinyan and Liu Cheng, she couldn’t bear it anymore! Liu Zhen didn’t know that Feng Jinyan and Liu Cheng only appeared sweet on the surface—when away from acquaintances, they went about their own business, with no genuine emotional exchange between them as a couple.

Liu Zhen only saw how good Liu Cheng was to Feng Jinyan, and consumed by jealousy, she began to think of various schemes to frame Feng Jinyan—accusing her of bullying, being two-faced, and the worst, framing her for infidelity!

She used every conceivable trick, but Liu Cheng believed none of it. He even detected Liu Zhen’s hostility toward Feng Jinyan due to her frequent efforts, leading him to move out of the Liu Family’s old residence with Feng Jinyan, completely distancing themselves from Liu Zhen!

Liu Cheng’s action utterly consumed Liu Zhen’s rationality with jealousy, leaving her with only one thought—killing Feng Jinyan! With Feng Jinyan dead, Liu Cheng would belong to her and only be with her!

Liu Zhen’s mind was very sinister. Though she desperately wanted to kill Feng Jinyan, she did not act rashly. Instead, she pretended to want to get along well with Feng Jinyan, flattering her until Feng Jinyan’s perception of her changed, and she began treating Liu Zhen as a friend. Then, Liu Zhen started spiking Feng Jinyan’s meals with substances that could stimulate the brain’s nerves.

At first, Feng Jinyan only felt mentally unwell and distracted, but gradually, her mental state deteriorated. Eventually, Feng Jinyan became insane, and later, Liu Zhen schemed to have her abandoned in the mountains.

Following Feng Jinyan’s disappearance, Liu Zhen lived with Liu Cheng under the pretense of helping her brother, who didn’t know how to take care of his daughter, worrying that Liu Cheng, as a man, wouldn’t know how to take care of a child.

Liu Zhen indeed wholeheartedly adored Liu Man Ni to the point of spoiling her to her bones, fetching stars without giving moons, even solving troubles for Liu Man Ni with money without ever scolding her, leading to Liu Man Ni becoming increasingly dependent on Liu Zhen.

Liu Cheng also trusted Liu Zhen more because of her wholehearted care for Liu Man Ni and eventually entrusted his home management to Liu Zhen.

Logically, as a star, Liu Zhen would be very busy and wouldn’t have much time to focus on Liu Cheng, but her situation was somewhat special.

Although Liu Zhen was a big star, she was primarily reliant on Liu Cheng. If she liked a script, she would join the crew with Liu Cheng’s support. Although some directors didn’t like such backdoor entry methods, there were always directors with talent who had to surrender for money.

And although Liu Zhen always brought capital into the crew, her easy-going nature and her acting skills, along with never meddling with a director’s decisions, slowly built a better reputation for her. Directors began to appreciate this wealthy actress who didn’t cause trouble but could act.

To spend more time with Liu Cheng, Liu Zhen wouldn’t take on too much work each year. Her attention was more on Liu Cheng because of his money and her own interpersonal skills and acting talents. Though she couldn’t compare to the hottest stars, she was still a first-rate capable star!

Undeniably, the fact that Liu Zhen was responsible for Feng Jinyan’s demise was entirely beyond Yun Shuangshuang’s expectations! Yun Shuangshuang had speculated countless times about who her mother Feng Jinyan’s enemy was, and she had suspected many people.

For example, Liu Cheng—it was possible he wanted to take over Feng Jinyan’s company by killing her and then having the daughter Feng Jinyan left behind inherit the company. He would then build a good relationship with Feng Jinyan’s parents to deceive them, eventually justifying his takeover of her company.

Or it could have been one of the major shareholders in Feng Jinyan’s company. By killing Feng Jinyan, the Feng family would have no successors, and they could use some means to seize the company...

Yun Shuangshuang considered numerous possibilities and theories about different enemies but couldn’t deny that each would be a deeply scheming and highly skilled person. This made Yun Shuangshuang hesitant, unable to investigate further without fear before she was strong enough to confront this dreadful enemy!

But who would have thought the result would be like this! Feng Jinyan’s tragic life was merely due to a woman’s twisted love that she could not have!

This made Yun Shuangshuang both angry and speechless for a long time. Although Liu Zhen was just a star, she wasn’t easy to deal with because she held two significant trump cards. One was Liu Cheng. Without Liu Cheng’s financial support, Liu Zhen could not reach where she was today. The other troublesome trump card was Feng Jinyan’s biological daughter, Liu Man Ni!

From Liu Man Ni’s past actions, it seemed she might have been brainwashed by Liu Zhen, fully supporting Liu Zhen and Liu Cheng being together, so every time she faced Feng Jinyan, she not only didn’t acknowledge her as a mother but always kept Liu Zhen and Liu Cheng together, claiming to be a family to provoke Feng Jinyan!

If Yun Shuangshuang were to take action against Liu Zhen, it would inevitably implicate Liu Man Ni. No matter what, Liu Man Ni was Feng Jinyan’s daughter, and Yun Shuangshuang had to consider Feng Jinyan’s feelings.
