Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

Shen Jingshu spoke calmly and slowly recounted the entire ending of this tragic calamity:

"When the thug saw that your daughter was about to call the police, he panicked. He had injured someone and was afraid of being arrested and sentenced by the police, so he immediately rushed forward and frantically tried to snatch her phone. The two struggled fiercely, and in the chaos, the thug accidentally pushed your daughter down the stairs."

Taking advantage of the chaos, he abandoned everyone and fled the scene in a panic.

By the time the ambulance arrived and rushed the severely injured father and daughter to the hospital, it was too late. Your husband's knife had pierced his spleen, causing severe blood loss. Despite all efforts to save him, he could not be saved and ultimately passed away.

Your daughter was already pregnant. The fall from that height caused severe bleeding, and she lost the baby. The injury also completely damaged her uterus, rendering her unable to conceive again.

When she awoke from her coma, she learned that her father had died tragically because of her and that her family had been completely shattered. Overwhelmed by immense guilt, self-blame, and despair, she was utterly crushed.

Unable to forgive herself for misjudging people and letting a wolf into her home, which led to the destruction of her family, she ultimately climbed to the hospital rooftop alone and jumped off, ending her life.

Throughout this entire ordeal, you alone remained unharmed. The moment the blade pierced you, your husband instinctively shielded you, taking all the damage for you.

Although you survived, you lost your husband and only daughter overnight.

The police launched a full-scale manhunt and finally apprehended the fleeing thug in another city. However, the thug was an orphan with no parents, all alone and penniless. He was ultimately only sentenced to prison for manslaughter and intentional homicide. He had no savings, no family, and could not afford to pay a single penny in civil compensation.

In just a few days, your happy and harmonious family has completely fallen apart.

Devastated by this devastating blow, you were heartbroken and lost all will to run your barbecue stall. You had no choice but to close the shop you had painstakingly built up over a decade ago, and returned to your hometown alone, dazed and confused. For the rest of your life, without husband or daughters, you lived a solitary life, tending to your empty house, destined to die a lonely and miserable old age.

Every word was clear and cold, each one piercing to the heart.

Li Xiuying's body was stiff, her face was ashen white, all the color had vanished, her lips trembled uncontrollably, and her hands were clenched tightly together, her knuckles turning white.

She stared blankly at Shen Jingshu, her eyes filled with fear and disbelief, her voice breaking and trembling: "How...how could this happen?"

She had worked diligently at her stall for over a decade, treating people with kindness and integrity. She had a loving husband, an obedient daughter, a stable business, and a harmonious family. Her life was simple yet happy. She never imagined that in just three days, her peaceful and fulfilling life would completely collapse, leaving her with a broken family, death, and a lonely old age.

"Will...will my home really become like this?"

Shen Jingshu's gaze was calm, her tone firm yet gentle: "Whether you believe it or not, this is the future I have predicted."

"You can contact your daughter tonight and ask her if she's seeing a boyfriend outside. As for how to resolve the calamity three days from now, that's entirely up to you."

Shen Jingshu's reason for making an exception and taking the initiative to point out the calamities in other people's lives was not to meddle in other people's business.

When she opened her third eye, she clearly saw that Li Xiuying and her husband were surrounded by a faint, warm, golden light of merit.

The couple had been running their stall for many years; they were kind, simple, and warm-hearted.

When they encounter homeless beggars or destitute people on the street, they always offer them a hot barbecue or a bowl of hot soup for free. Knowing that many students in the university town come from poor families and struggle to make ends meet when they occasionally eat at late-night food stalls, they often offer discounts and extra portions, quietly helping impoverished students.

Small acts of kindness performed day after day, accumulated over time, gradually build up a meager amount of merit.

Good people deserve good fortune and shouldn't end up in such a tragic situation. That's why Shen Jingshu chose to expose the calamity and leave the family with a glimmer of hope.

After Shen Jingshu finished speaking, she got up to say goodbye, went to the pharmacy to buy hangover medicine, and then slowly returned to school.

At the barbecue stall, Li Xiuying remained frozen in place, unable to come to her senses for a long time.

When her husband, Wang Weiguo, came out of the kitchen, he saw her sitting motionless in a daze. He assumed she was just tired and didn't ask any questions. He quietly started tidying up the table, chairs, and dishes.

When the stall was almost cleaned up, his wife was still sitting in the same spot, her face pale and her eyes glazed over. Only then did her husband realize that something was wrong.

"What's wrong? You've been sitting here for ages, are you feeling unwell?"

As soon as Li Xiuying saw her husband, she immediately pulled him to sit down. Her voice was still trembling as she recounted everything Shen Jingshu had said from beginning to end.

After hearing this, Wang Weiguo was taken aback at first, then frowned, thinking that his wife was overthinking things.

"Aren't you just worrying unnecessarily? You actually believe what a little girl said casually?"

"Our daughter has always been well-behaved. Even though she went out to work, she's still in the same city, not far away. We've been to her rented apartment; she's clearly sharing with another girl, and everything's peaceful and quiet. She comes home to see us every month. How could she possibly be hanging out with some hoodlum and getting pregnant? Absolutely impossible."

But Li Xiuying still felt uneasy.

"The way that girl spoke didn't seem like she was lying at all. Every word she said was accurate. She knew everything about me, including my age, when I got married, and that I only have one daughter. And these past few days, I've had a feeling that something bad is going to happen..."

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she grabbed her husband's hand:

"No, let's skip our stall tomorrow and go straight to our daughter's place to see if she's secretly dating anyone!"

"I don't care, I have to go see it, just to put my mind at ease, okay?"

"But if we close for a day, we'll lose a lot of money..."

"No amount of money is more important than your and your daughter's lives?"

Wang Weiguo finally couldn't resist his wife's insistence and had to nod in agreement.

After packing up their stall, the two went home early and didn't get a good night's sleep.

The next day, as soon as it was light, the couple drove straight to the apartment complex where their daughter rented a place.

She knocked on the door, but it wasn't her daughter who answered; it was the young girl who shared the apartment with her. The girl immediately called out "Auntie" upon seeing Li Xiuying.

"We are Jingjing's parents, and we've come to see her."

The girl's face immediately turned troubled. After stammering for a while, she finally told the truth:

"Auntie, Jingjing... she moved away two months ago and doesn't live here anymore."

"Where did you move to? Do you know?"

"I don't know the exact address, but... Jingjing got a boyfriend and said she's going to move in with him."

Upon hearing this, the couple felt a chill run down their spines.

The young woman was right – my daughter really did secretly have a boyfriend.

Li Xiuying's hands were trembling slightly as she immediately took out her phone and called her daughter.

It was noisy on the other end of the phone at first, but it quieted down after a while.

"Hello, Mom?"

"Jingjing, where are you? Your dad and I have come to see you."

"No need, Mom, I'll come home to see you whenever I have time."

We're already downstairs at your old rented apartment.
