Recently, there were reports that during this year's Qingming Festival, Zong Fuli took the initiative to invite her half-brother and half-sister, Zong Jichang and Zong Jieyi, to meet, signaling a "reconciliation". The report also stated that Zong Fuli invited the two siblings to jointly acquire the shares of Wahaha owned by Shangcheng Wenlv. Previously, Zong Fuli had a strained relationship with Zong Jichang and others. In July 2025, according to media reports, Zong Jichang, Zong Jieyi, and Zong Jisheng filed lawsuits in Hong Kong and Hangzhou, claiming their rights to trust fund assets worth 700 million US dollars each as Zong Fuli's half-siblings. The plaintiffs claimed that these funds were promised by Zong Qinghou before his death. Zong Qinghou had instructed subordinates to establish a trust through HSBC in Hong Kong, and the balance of that HSBC account in early 2024 was approximately 1.8 billion US dollars. In response to this, a source told reporters that the news was completely untrue and that there was no such thing. He also stated that the lawsuit filed by Zong Jichang and others against Zong Fuli was still in the litigation stage.
