Received a lawyer's letter?!

Liu Xinyi grew angrier the more she thought about it. Gritting her teeth, she spat, "That imposter got away, and yet I’m the one stuck here with a broken arm."

Who could have foreseen that, even though she was the one who drove Liu Yiyi out of the Liu residence that day, the situation had backfired? Liu Yiyi had escaped unscathed, while she was left injured and bedridden. How could Liu Yiyi be so lucky?

Standing by the window, her stepmother, Mrs. Liu, took an elegant sip of fragrant tea, her gaze sweeping coldly across the hospital room. "Xinyi, stop getting so worked up. It’s not worth ruining your health over."

Mrs. Liu’s voice was soft, but her eyes were icy. "That little wretch will soon realize that without the Liu family, she is nothing."

Liu Xinyi’s eyes darted around. "But Mother, a friend just told me she ran into Liu Yiyi at the city’s most expensive five-star hotel."

"How could she possibly have the money to stay at such a place? Could it be that the cards under her name haven't been frozen yet? Is she still spending the Liu family's money?!"

"Don't be impatient," Mrs. Liu said, setting down her teacup with a mocking smile. "I gave her a three-day grace period, and that time is up. We, the Liu family, have done all that can be expected of us."

A glimmer of malice flashed in Mrs. Liu's eyes. Those three days were never a grace period; they were a trap. She had calculated that Liu Yiyi would surely go on a spending spree, foolishly trying to squeeze one last bit of wealth from the Liu family. After all, who didn't know her vain and shallow nature?

However, Liu Yiyi could never have guessed that this was exactly what she wanted. Once the cards were frozen and a massive debt had been accrued, Mrs. Liu would have legitimate grounds to sue her. By then, not only would Liu Yiyi fail to get a single cent, but she would also be forced to pay a hefty settlement in return.

Mrs. Liu curled her lips into a smile: I want to see if you can still maintain that arrogance when you are buried in debt. By then, won't you have to crawl to me and beg for forgiveness?

"Now," Mrs. Liu picked up her phone, "it’s time to cut off her final hope."

She dialed a number with grace. "Hello, Assistant Wang? Freeze all cards under Liu Yiyi’s name immediately. Yes, all of them."

"Also, preserve the evidence of all her spending over the past three days and notify the legal team to file a lawsuit against her at once! Make sure to be considerate—have the summons delivered directly to her hotel."

After hanging up, Mrs. Liu wore a look of satisfaction. Liu Xinyi’s eyes lit up; as expected, Mother was the best!

"Without the Liu family's money, she wants to stay in a fancy hotel? In her dreams!" Liu Xinyi said, gloating. "It looks like she’ll be homeless soon!"

The more Liu Xinyi thought about it, the more excited she became. "That spoiled rich girl who only knew how to spend and shop—what will she do now that she’s broke? I can't wait to see her in such a pathetic state!"

When that time came, she would wear the most expensive clothes, drive the most luxurious cars, and carry the most limited-edition bags just to humiliate her!

...

Liu Yiyi, who had just received a transfer of four million, sat before the floor-to-ceiling window of her luxury suite. Her attention was entirely focused on the tablet in her hands, which displayed the stock information for XG-Tech.

"XG-Tech... share price 3.28... market cap less than 500 million..." she murmured, unable to hide her inner excitement.

Who could have imagined that this obscure stock would skyrocket 100-fold in just ten days? She would never let such a massive opportunity for wealth pass her by.

Liu Yiyi took a deep breath and began drafting her acquisition plan. With a total investment of three million, buying it all at once would not only cause market fluctuations but might also attract unnecessary attention. Therefore, she could not be too hasty; after all, she had a ten-day window. The best strategy was to buy in batches, steady and sure.

After careful consideration, she devised a five-day acquisition plan:
Day one: Buy 300,000 to test the waters and ensure there were no surprises.
Day two: 500,000.
Day three: 700,000.
Days four and five: 750,000 each.

"Perfect. This should be fine." Once the plan was set, Liu Yiyi immediately began the first purchase of 300,000.

"Confirm!"
"Transaction successful!"

She checked the trade details carefully to ensure everything was correct. Liu Yiyi closed the interface and let out a long sigh of relief. "Everything should be fine from here on out."

However, just as she returned to the stock interface after the trade, she noticed the stock had risen slightly, from 3.28 to 3.29.

This fluctuation was still within a reasonable range and shouldn't attract anyone's attention.

Meanwhile, in the research department of a brokerage firm, financial analyst Li Mingsi was performing his routine check of stock trends. His gaze swept over the data for XG-Tech.

"Hmm, XG-Tech’s share price has edged up slightly," he muttered, though he didn't pay much mind to it. Such minor fluctuations were common in the stock market.

Li Mingsi continued browsing other stocks, his mind recalling a research report he had worked on earlier. The report mentioned that XG-Tech was developing an early-stage cancer detection technology; if successful, it could revolutionize the medical industry.

Li Mingsi’s eyes lit up. "If that’s the case, this is a great opportunity. Why not recommend it to clients? Even though the rise is minimal now, the long-term potential is huge!"

He immediately began drafting a recommendation report.

Just as Liu Yiyi finished her investment, a rapid knocking sounded at her door. Frowning, she got up to answer it. Standing outside were the hotel’s Manager Li and a middle-aged man in a crisp suit. Manager Li wore a fawning smile, while the middle-aged man stood with an air of superiority.

"Ms. Liu," Manager Li said with a professional smile that couldn't hide the flicker of contempt in his eyes, "I’m so sorry to disturb you. This is Attorney Wang, the legal representative for the Liu Group. He has some matters to discuss with you."

Attorney Wang handed over the documents without expression and spoke coldly, "Ms. Liu Yiyi, this is a legal notice for you. Please sign for it."

Before Liu Yiyi could even take the documents, the attorney began his accusations.

"Ms. Liu, you are no longer part of the Liu family, yet you continue to squander their wealth. This is a serious illegal act. We have already frozen all accounts under your name."

"Furthermore, you are now suspected of multiple crimes, including embezzlement and fraud. We will be suing you in accordance with the law!"

Manager Li added fuel to the fire from the side. "That’s right, Ms. Liu. Our hotel has also received notice that your bill can no longer be processed. I’m afraid... you’ll have to find other accommodations."

Attorney Wang looked down at Liu Yiyi. "I advise you to go and admit your mistakes to Mrs. Liu now; perhaps you might receive a lighter sentence. Otherwise, you will face the full force of the law!"

Standing to the side, Manager Li curled his lips upward. "Ms. Liu, considering your financial situation, we may need to arrange a... more suitable room for you." He paused deliberately, his eyes sweeping over the interior of the luxury suite. "After all, the presidential suite isn't exactly cheap."
