Transmigration: The Main Character is Not Becoming the Cannon Fodder!-Chapter 306 - 16: Superstar (16)

Li Shuning is very beautiful, but can’t have children, so naturally she can’t marry into any other noble families, otherwise people would say the Li Family isn’t being fair.

Noble families still place a high value on offspring.

Moreover, Li Shuning has clearly stated that she likes children, and even if a man says it’s okay now, who knows if he’ll use infertility as an excuse in the long run? She cannot accept cheating or any illegitimate children.

Thus, the Clan Leader can only agree not to arrange any future marriages for Li Shuning, but if she finds someone she likes, she must inform the family.

The Clan Leader feels a bit of pity for such an excellent child.

Li Shuning knows that the man’s family will find him a wife within a year, so she has time to plan.

In the plot, Li Shuning’s misery didn’t start the moment she got married.

Li Shuning is somewhat famous among the noble families.

However, during this period, Li Shuning told her big brother Li Shuyu that she wouldn’t be going on business trips and would rest for a while.

She went to find Miss Duan from the Duan Family.

That Miss Duan is quite a pampered and domineering woman.

In the plot, it was this Miss Duan who began Li Shuning’s life of abuse.

Miss Duan liked the husband of Li Shuning in the story.

The man, pressured by family, knew the original protagonist’s situation but still spoke affectionately as if he didn’t mind, yet inwardly he resented it.

After the two got married, Duan Fengling couldn’t get what she wanted and started to resent Li Shuning.

She knows that as the eldest daughter of the Duan Family, her family would never allow her to have any involvement with a married man.

So she secretly sought out Wang Wei, who was already depressed, and under Duan Fengling’s "comfort," he grew increasingly resentful of Li Shuning.

There was even a time when Duan Fengling casually mentioned that emotions need to be vented, and if a wife doesn’t obey, she should be made to, citing her brother sometimes hitting her sister-in-law, who is very virtuous, magnanimous, and obedient.

Once, when Duan Fengling went to find Li Shuning, she made it seem as though Li Shuning was bullying her, and Wang Wei witnessed it.

Wang Wei’s anger surged.

He thought of Duan Fengling as his confidante, his good friend.

Now, this wench Li Shuning actually dared to bully Fengling; it was truly excessive.

That was the first time Wang Wei laid hands on Li Shuning.

And it became uncontrollable afterwards.

Duan Fengling later got married to someone else but still maintained contact with Wang Wei.

Humph, since the two of them are so close, how could Li Shuning not help them out?

Thus, Li Shuning had some exchanges with Duan Fengling beforehand.

Being from the same circle, Li Shuning often invited Duan Fengling out shopping, for beauty treatments, and over time, Duan Fengling started to invite Li Shuning out when bored.

Since Li Shuning intended to get close to Duan Fengling, she naturally managed the relationship well and gradually, Duan Fengling also confided to Li Shuning her feelings for Wang Wei.

Time passed quickly, and soon the Wang Family was looking for a wife for Wang Wei.

The Wang Family and the Duan Family had no connections, so naturally, the Wang Family set their sights on the Li Family.

Li Shuning was their best candidate.

Li Shuning deliberately fabricated the infertility issue, known only to the Clan Leader and a few others in the Li Family.

It was naturally impossible for Li Shuning to be with Wang Wei, but not long after, Duan Fengling, who had been keeping an eye on Wang Wei, received some rumors, and of course, these rumors were spread by someone Li Shuning had intentionally engaged.

Upon hearing that Li Shuning was going to marry Wang Wei, she went directly to Li Shuning, intending to hit her.

Li Shuning dodged.

"Fengling, what are you trying to do?"

Duan Fengling’s pretty face was icy cold at this moment: "Li Shuning, I didn’t expect you to be like this, I liked Brother Wei so much, I even told you, and now you want to marry him. How could you do this to me?"

Li Shuning sneered inwardly, yet showed nothing on her face, simply furrowing her brow: "Fengling, where did you hear such things? To be honest, I’ve told the Clan Leader I won’t be marrying anyone. You come at me without distinguishing right from wrong, I’m disappointed, I thought of you as a good sister."

Duan Fengling paused, realizing she might have been too hasty, but with her naturally domineering personality, she still coldly said: "Humph, you say you won’t marry, but everyone outside knows the Wang Family has approached the Li Family, and it’s almost settled, right?"

"I’ve been busy at the company recently, so I really didn’t know about this. I’ll call and ask."

Li Shuning took out her phone and called Li Shuyu.

"Big Brother, I heard the family wants me to have an arranged marriage with Wang Wei? Didn’t the Clan Leader promise me?"

Li Shuning had it on speaker, so Duan Fengling heard Li Shuyu’s words too.

"Don’t worry little sister, the Clan Leader hasn’t agreed to it. Although there’s been generations of friendship with the Wang Family, the Clan Leader rejected it but told the Wang Family that if they fancy any other girls from the Li Family, the Li Family would certainly agree. They’re still looking around."

After exchanging a few more words, Li Shuning hung up the phone.

No matter how pampered and self-centered, Duan Fengling felt a bit embarrassed at this moment.

If that slap had landed, there might be enmity between her and Li Shuning from now on.

After all, Li Shuning is someone whom the Li Family values.

Duan Fengling thought for a moment, then grabbed Li Shuning’s hand: "Shuning, I’m sorry, you know me, I’m just straightforward, I was too anxious earlier, thankfully you dodged, it was my fault, please don’t blame me, okay?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Li Shuning smiled slightly, indicating she didn’t mind.

"Fengling, what do you plan to do? Since the Wang Family is already looking, even without me, there will be other women. If you don’t do something, it’s unlikely you’ll get what you want."

Duan Fengling was also a bit worried. Honestly, the Duan Family and the Wang Family truly have no ties. If it weren’t for a chance meeting at a banquet and her falling for him at first sight, always following him around, occasionally getting close to him, there would likely be no chance of her and Wang Wei having any connection.

If she doesn’t act, she might never have a chance with Wang Wei in the future.

What to do?

Duan Fengling was very worried.

"Shuning, can you help me figure something out? I can’t lose Brother Wei, I love him too much."

Li Shuning could never give Duan Fengling any ideas; their personalities don’t suit each other, and in the future, if Duan Fengling regrets it, she would naturally recall the advice she received today.

"Fengling, to be honest, I admired you when I first knew you liked Wang Wei, but this sort of thing, if the family steps in... Ah, maybe you should talk to your parents? See if there’s anything your family can do?"

Duan Fengling felt disappointed, exchanged a few words with Li Shuning, and then left.

Li Shuning, however, sneered; the spectacle is just beginning.
