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

Combined with the woman's strange gaze just now.

Shen Nian took a deep breath and said, "Since you already know I'm your daughter, why do you want me to calculate it again?"

The viewers in the live chat were completely dumbfounded.

【…What? I don’t understand?】

[Does this mean the daughter the couple is looking for is the news anchor herself?]

[Let me sort this out. It seems the couple already knew the streamer was their daughter, but we don't know how they knew. So they connected with the streamer and had her calculate that she was their daughter, and she even guessed that they already knew?]

【……ox.】

[Wow, you know what? You really think this is true? The streamer was adopted by the Shen family, so she actually has biological parents?]

[What you're saying? She definitely has biological parents, otherwise, how could the streamer have sprung from a rock?]

That's such a coincidence! After all this time, to actually find one's biological parents.

The man paused for a moment, then said, "We thought about it for a long time, not knowing how to reunite with you. Finally, we came up with this method. We hope you don't mind."

Shen Nian gritted her teeth.

The way you say that makes it sound like you're thinking of her best interests.

The fact that they recognized each other in front of so many live viewers, with so many people witnessing it, meant that the cause and effect had been set—and it was something she had calculated herself, so it had to happen even if it didn't.

Now, even if she didn't want to acknowledge these damned biological parents, she had no choice but to.

Great...that's wonderful.

To dare scheme against her like this... This is the first time since she came back from the dead.

The woman lowered her head, seemingly wiping away tears, then looked at her and said, "We saw you trending online. You look so much like me and your father, so we looked into your background. We discovered... you are our daughter."

"Perhaps you would be willing to see us?"

[Has the streamer gotten himself involved in this mess?]

I'm done for. It really is; I've brought it all on myself.

This should be a good thing, right? This couple looks...like normal people.

[And her status seems quite high... Sigh, if the streamer really is their daughter, I hope they'll treat her well.]

I just hope the anchorwoman can be happy; the Shen family really hurt her too deeply.

Shen Nian slowly exhaled, calming herself down.

"I've finished the three divinations for today. I have something to take care of, so I'll end the live stream here."

As for what she had to deal with, the comments section was clear.

Shen Nian turned off the live stream, stood up, and quickly walked to the door of the live stream room.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw Gu Yuncheng and Gu Qiwen standing outside.

Gu Yuncheng asked worriedly, "Master, are you alright?"

There's no other reason than that Shen Nian's expression looked rather strange.

It wasn't the joy and excitement of finding family, nor was it worry or surprise.

Rather, it was an expression that mixed contempt, sarcasm, anger, and indifference.

Upon seeing them, Shen Nian immediately composed herself.

"I'm fine, what could possibly be wrong with me?"

However, the next moment, Gu Qiwen suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.

"Don't be afraid."

His voice was indifferent, yet contained an unusual tenderness.

"I've already had someone investigate."

"No matter what... I will always stand behind you."

This sentence could almost be considered a love confession.

Gu Yuncheng silently shrank his neck, pretending that he hadn't heard anything.

As for Shen Nian...

Of course, she didn't understand the sentiment behind his words.

But for some reason, her previously anxious heart was calmed down considerably by those two sentences.

Shen Nian thought to herself, "It's best if this is just a coincidence."

Hopefully, her so-called biological parents were truly unintentional, and not...

Hopefully, she's just overthinking it.

She pulled herself out of Gu Qiwen's embrace and said calmly, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"Go check it out, the more detailed the better."

The information about the original owner's biological parents was sent to Tiannan Mountain Courtyard the next day.

It's a very thick stack of documents; I guess they've checked everything that can and can't be checked.

Shen Nian flipped through the pages quickly.

What a coincidence—

The original owner's biological parents also had the surname Shen.

But unlike the nouveau riche Shen family, this Shen family was a long-standing family friend of the Gu family.

If Gujia's business empire encompasses fields such as technology, the internet, manufacturing, finance, energy, and entertainment...

The Shen family's businesses mainly focus on antiques, jewelry, minerals, and spices.

The two have slightly different art styles.

One is more modern, the other more classical.

It is said that the Shen family owns a considerable number of gemstone mines and various rare metal mines all over the world. Although they are not as active in the headlines of financial magazines as the Gu family, their influence is not to be underestimated.

Perhaps it is because the Shen family's businesses are mainly in mining and antiques that they have become increasingly low-key in recent years and are rarely seen in the media.

Even many of the newly rich in Jinghai were unaware of the existence of the Shen family, this behemoth.

Currently, the person in charge of the Shen family is Shen Nian's nominal grandfather, Shen Boyuan.

Shen Boyuan had three sons and one daughter. Shen Nian's father was the eldest son, named Shen Zhaozhang.

Each of the Shen family's children controls a portion of the family's businesses. For example, Shen Zhaozhang owns a series of gemstone mines, including jade, ruby, and diamond mines. His status in the Shen family is second only to Shen Boyuan.

Shen Nian's fingers paused on the documents.

Shen Zhaozhang and Song Daiqing—Shen Nian's biological mother—have more than one daughter.

Shen Nian also has an older brother, Shen Yingchuan, and a younger sister or older sister, Shen Yingwei.

As for why it can't be determined whether it's the younger sister or the older sister...

This is because Shen Yingwei was the girl Shen Zhaozhang adopted after "Shen Nian" went missing.

She was born in the same year as Shen Nian, but the exact date is unknown.

Therefore, they set Shen Yingwei's birthday and Shen Nian's birthday on the same day.

If the real Shen Nian were still alive at this moment, she might feel sad.

Her biological parents not only adopted another girl as their daughter, but also threw a birthday party for this girl on her birthday.

While she was being abused and beaten by the Shen family, another girl who had taken her identity was enjoying the pampering that should have been hers.

Unfortunately, she wasn't the original owner of this body.

Therefore, I don't feel sad or jealous.

She didn't care about so-called family ties, and after severing ties with the Shen family, she never bothered to find out where her biological parents were.

If they hadn't come to us themselves...

Seeing that she had finished reading the information, Gu Qi said, "The Shen family and the Gu family used to be close friends. But the relationship has become much more distant since my grandfather's generation."

"By my generation, there is almost no contact left."

Shen Nianqi asked, "So, you haven't had any contact with the younger generation of the Shen family?"

"It's not that there isn't any at all."

Gu Qiwen pointed to the names of Shen Yingchuan and Shen Yingwei: "When I was young, my grandfather took me to visit the eldest son's branch of the Shen family, and I met this brother and sister."

"At the time, I felt that Shen Yingwei did not resemble my uncle and aunt at all."

However, out of good manners, the young Gu Qiwen did not delve too deeply into the matter, nor did he take it to heart.

Looking back now, it seems... that fate is playing tricks on us.

Gu Qiwen said, "If you hadn't gotten lost, the person I saw at the Shen family back then should have been you."

Shen Nian shook her head: "No, you won't see me."

Gu Qiwen will only see the real Shen Nian, not her... a female ghost who has been resurrected by using Shen Nian's body.

But there are no "what ifs" in life.

If Shen Nian hadn't gone missing and had been adopted by the Shen couple who coveted her destiny, she probably wouldn't have died at the age of eighteen.

The female ghost Shen Nian cannot be awakened, thus she is resurrected through her body.

And none of what happened next would have occurred.

So sometimes, fate really does like to play tricks on people.
