Stop pretending, the fake heiress is actually a master of metaphysics.

How could this happen?

Shen Leyao felt the disdainful and contemptuous gaze and slowly took two steps back.

Those words... were not what she wanted to say.

Shen Nian must have done something wrong!

Doesn't she know mystical arts? It must be her!

As she backed away, she bumped into someone, who shoved her hard with obvious disgust and yelled, "You Shen family members are disgusting!"

Shen Leyao collapsed to the ground.

A long shadow fell on her. She looked up and saw Gu Qiwen's beautiful face, which was as noble and aloof as a god.

She opened her mouth: "President Gu..."

"Please believe me, Mr. Gu, this is all a trick played by that bitch Shen Nian!"

"That's not the truth!"

From the moment Shen Leyao first saw Gu Qiwen, she knew she had fallen in love with him.

They were destined to be together.

Will he believe her?

She looked at Gu Qiwen, her eyes filled with shyness and anticipation.

Gu Qiwen did not answer her.

He didn't even spare her a second glance.

He looked down at Shen Nian, his gaze lingering on the scar on her neck, and asked with tenderness and pity, "Are you alright?"

Shen Nian shook her head: "I'm fine."

Ultimately, those were the original owner's experiences and pains, and had nothing to do with her.

She was simply fulfilling the original owner's wish.

Shen Nian raised her hand, and Assistant Lu, who was standing to the side, immediately stepped forward and handed her a check.

She threw the check in front of the Shen family.

"The Shen family raised me for eighteen years, and all their expenses added up to only a few hundred thousand."

"Here is one million; consider it repayment for the expenses incurred in raising me over the years by the Shen family."

Upon hearing this, disdainful gazes once again fell upon the Shen family.

Raising a child costs hundreds of thousands of yuan?

Do not make jokes.

Let alone wealthy families, even for ordinary families, buying a basic car for commuting would cost more than a few hundred thousand yuan.

What inhuman abuse did Miss Shen suffer in the Shen family?

Shen Nian continued, "Since everyone is here today, please be my witnesses."

"The so-called kindness of the Shen family in raising me, this check, the abuse over the years, and the disasters I shielded you from are enough to repay it."

"From this day forward, I, Shen Nian, sever all ties with the Shen family and have no further connection with them."

Shen Dahai opened his mouth and shouted, "I disagree!"

"Who gave you permission to sever ties with us!"

Shen Nian sneered: "I don't need your permission."

As she finished speaking, a refreshing breeze suddenly swept through the hall.

Most of the ladies were dressed in formal attire, and when a sudden gust of cold wind blew by, they unconsciously hugged their arms tighter.

What they couldn't see was that the cool breeze was like the sharpest dagger, severing the kinship ties between Shen Nian and the Shen family one by one.

That was the work of Heaven.

This would enable her to completely sever all causal ties with the Shen family.

It's not a severance of ties in the secular sense, either legally or morally.

Instead, according to the law of cause and effect, they will have no further connection.

At the same time, the Shen family members clearly felt that something extremely precious was being lost from their bodies.

The luck they stole from Shen Nian is disappearing along with the causal threads.

The most obvious example is Shen Leyao.

The phoenix destiny that she briefly claimed for herself, usurping another's place, was also extracted as the causal thread disappeared, returning to its true owner's body.

Shen Leyao suddenly felt very cold all over her body.

She was so cold that she was shivering.

She heard Shen Nian say to her, "What is stolen must always be returned."

Then Shen Nian waved and called the security guards.

"Please ask them to leave."

"I have a legal relationship with the Shen family, so please respect yourselves and stop using my name."

The three members of the Shen family were utterly humiliated and were mercilessly driven out by security guards under the watchful eyes of the entire elite circle of Jinghai.

At the same time, the hidden cameras in the corner also stopped recording and live streaming.

The live stream obscured the faces of most people, only clearly showing the disgusting faces of the Shen family.

This is what Shen Nian mentioned yesterday about the "other things" that would be broadcast live.

She not only wanted the Shen family to be disgraced in high society, but also wanted everyone to know the crimes they had committed against the original owner.

I wonder if the Shen family will like this gift.

As she expected.

At this moment, the live stream chat was filled with insults directed at the Shen family.

I cursed that family of beasts; I hope I never run into them on the street.

[Master Shen is so pitiful; he actually ran into such a family of scum.]

[Waaaaah, my tears are worthless. Master Shen is such a good person, she has helped so many people, why did her family treat her like this?]

[If it weren't for Master Shen saving Young Master Gu, tsk tsk.]

Fortunately, Master Shen possessed esoteric arts and saw through the scheme of these beasts.

[If it were an ordinary person, they probably would have taken the blame for that family.]

Thankfully, Shen Nian saved Young Master Gu, and thankfully, Young Master Gu is a grateful and kind person.

[A resilient orphan girl x a sunny young master? I'm actually finding it kind of sweet...]

There were too many supernatural and strange things happening in Shen Nian's live stream, so they naturally believed in the life-changing theory more than the people from the Jinghai wealthy family.

This made him even more disgusted with this family of greedy scum.

……

Beyond the screen.

The banquet continued.

People in wealthy circles are all quite emotionally intelligent; they chatted naturally with each other as if the farce that had just occurred never happened.

The ball has begun.

Many young ladies from wealthy families looked at Gu Yuncheng with adoring eyes, hoping he would ask them to dance.

As for Gu Qiwen...

The ladies of the wealthy socialite said: "Do they think they've lived too long to dare to seduce this cold and terrifying CEO Gu?"

Gu Yuncheng blinked and looked at Shen Nian.

Before he could even speak, he met his brother's cold gaze.

Gu Yuncheng: ...

What? You don't dare invite Shen Nian to dance, but you won't allow others to dance with Shen Nian?

He secretly went into the live stream just now and saw that some people in the chat were praising him and Shen Nian as a good match!

Shen Nian put down the wine glass in her hand.

"You guys have fun, I'm going outside for some fresh air."

With the Shen family's grand performance over, Shen Nian's goal was achieved.

She naturally didn't want to stay in the banquet hall and continue chatting with the ladies, young ladies, and young masters.

After all, she was a thousand-year-old female ghost, not a real rich young lady.

Gu Qiwen: "...I'll go with you?"

"Need not."

Shen Nian lifted her skirt, turned around, and walked out of the banquet hall.

In the crowd, a man put down his wine glass and quietly left the banquet hall with Shen Nian.

"Shen Nian."

Shen Nian looked up at the sound and saw Pei Yuanzhi. She raised her eyebrows and said, "It seems that Gu Yuncheng didn't kick you hard enough that day. I thought you were going to stay in bed for a while longer."

Pei Yuanzhi's smile froze: "Niannian, are you worried about me?"

"I knew it, you still can't let me go..."

"Although we had some misunderstandings before, we've had this relationship for so many years, you still like me, right?"
