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

Chapter 122 Encountering a Best Friend Who's a Part-Timer Scammer

From then on, the situation was completely reversed, and Xiao Yi, who had been bullied in the past, completely took control of the family.

If Xiao Zhi dares to show even the slightest bit of hostility or have any intention of fighting, Xiao Yi will never tolerate it and will directly suppress him with her Muay Thai skills.

Xiao Zhi could never accept that his once docile and timid wife, who had always been under his thumb, could now completely overwhelm him. He was resentful and stubborn, and he repeatedly provoked her, trying to regain his former dominance, but each time he was fiercely countered by Xiao Yi.

After several lessons, his former arrogance was completely worn away. Now, whenever he meets Xiaoyi's gaze, he will subconsciously look away in fear, afraid of saying the wrong thing and incurring another punishment.

His horrific injuries were not without cause. Last night, he was still plotting against Xiao Yi while she slept, hoping to return to his days of wanton violence.

Little did he know that Xiao Yi had always been wary of him and had never let her guard down. She immediately saw through his plot and gave him a painful lesson, knocking out several of his front teeth and leaving him covered in bruises from the fight.

After recounting her past, Xiao Yi let out a long sigh of relief.

Shen Jingshu observed the entire scene with a cold eye, already convinced that every word of this statement was true, and secretly admired this woman. Instead of succumbing to despair when trapped in a desperate situation, she patiently gathered her strength and fought back against all odds; such wisdom and courage were exceptionally rare.

The viewers in the live stream completely reversed their attitudes, showing no sympathy whatsoever, and the chat was flooded with angry comments.

"This is entirely his own doing; it's karma coming back to him!"

"Haha, this is the first time I've seen a domestic violence case turn around like this! This girl is so satisfying!"

"An eye for an eye—well done!"

Things change, and circumstances are no longer the same. Xiao Yi was the one who desperately wanted to escape her marriage before, and now she is the one who is trapped in this relationship; on the contrary, it is Xiao Zhi who is suffering day and night, and only wants to get a divorce and get away.

Xiao Zhi had tried calling the police for help. When the police arrived, they thought it was just another ordinary domestic violence dispute, but they were surprised to find that the injured man lying on the ground was the same man. After hearing the whole story, the police officer immediately understood. Before leaving, the female officer accompanying Xiao Yi secretly gave her a thumbs-up in approval.

Xiao Yi turned to look at the camera and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, host, for taking up so much of your live stream time."

After saying that, she glanced at Xiao Zhi, who was trembling beside her, and said in a cold and mocking tone, "Before, I begged for a divorce, but you made things difficult for me and refused to budge. Now that you want to get away, there's no way you're going to succeed."

Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow at Xiao Zhi, who was trembling all over, and said with a cold, mocking tone, "The resentment in my heart hasn't completely dissipated yet, so I might as well just keep dragging it out like this."

"I'm not the one suffering now. I won't let a scumbag like you, with such a bad track record, go out into society and hurt other girls. It's better to be tied to this marriage for life, and that will teach you a lesson."

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her eyes and glared at Xiao Zhi, exuding a strong sense of intimidation.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and thank the host."

Xiao Zhi was filled with fear and dared not disobey in the slightest. He hurriedly and vaguely thanked him, and then shakily cut off the video call.

The live stream chat exploded with enthusiastic comments, with everyone expressing their delight and praising Xiaoyi for her outstanding vision.

Shen Jingshu remained calm, gazing at the scrolling comments, patiently waiting for the next person to draw a lucky bag and connect for a divination.

The first divination session ended, but the live stream remained lively, with new viewers watching with great interest, exclaiming that this juicy gossip was incredibly satisfying.

"This is truly eye-opening! Who could have predicted this turn of events!"

"Sister Xiaoyi is a true role model for women, she's so cool!"

The barrage of comments was filled with praise and laughter.

Shen Jingshu straightened up, her cool voice silencing the noisy atmosphere: "Alright, the first divination is over. The second person to grab the lucky bag can now start a live chat."

As soon as he finished speaking, a connection request popped up on the live stream interface, and a netizen with the ID "Happy Fruit" successfully connected with him.

As soon as the call connected, a sweet and adorable girl appeared on the other end of the line. She had a round and well-behaved face, gentle eyes and eyebrows, and a pair of shallow dimples on her cheeks when she smiled, making her look exceptionally endearing.

"Hello, host!" the girl said in a sweet and sensible tone. "I'll pay you the divination fee right away."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingshu temporarily opened the tipping channel. Without saying a word, the girl directly sent gifts to settle the divination fee, her actions swift and decisive. After confirming, Shen Jingshu immediately closed the tipping function again, without any unnecessary delays.

"Alright, tell me, what do you want to talk about?"

The smile on Pistachio's face gradually faded, and she frowned slightly, looking worried: "Host, I'd like you to tell me if my best friend has been scammed. I suspect she's encountered a con artist!"

Shen Jingshu asked calmly, "Why do you think that?"

Upon hearing this, the viewers in the live stream instantly perked up. They hadn't had enough of the dramatic reversal they'd just witnessed, and now there was another juicy story to enjoy! Everyone lined up their seats, eagerly watching the screen, waiting to hear what would happen next. The chat was flooded with anticipation.

Shen Jingshu remained calm, quietly waiting for the girl in front of her to explain what had happened.

"My best friend has a very ordinary, average appearance, nothing particularly outstanding. But recently, a rich second-generation guy has been pursuing her relentlessly, picking her up in luxury cars, showering her with flowers and luxury gifts, giving her all sorts of expensive things. I feel really uneasy, and I have a feeling that my best friend has probably fallen victim to a 'pig butchering scam'."

As soon as Pistachio finished speaking, the live stream chat exploded with comments.

Many netizens immediately raised questions:

"Hey girl, are you jealous of your best friend?"

"So what if she's not good-looking? Does that mean she can't be liked by rich kids?"

"Why do I get the feeling that you secretly think your best friend isn't good enough for a rich guy?"

"Could it be that you're petty and can't stand seeing your best friend being pursued?"

Immediately, the comments section erupted with discussion. Some sided with the girl, worried that it was a scam, while others felt that she had ulterior motives and was maliciously speculating about her best friend.

Shen Jingshu casually instructed, "Do you have any photos of your best friend? Send me a copy privately so I can take a look."

"Yes, yes!" Pistachio quickly replied, "This is a group photo we took at a dinner party a few days ago. Her boyfriend was there too, and all three of us are in the picture."

She then casually asked, "Would you like to take a look at that guy while you're at it?"

"Just send them all at once."

Having received permission, Kaixinguo quickly sent the group photo via private message. Shen Jingshu opened the picture and could see it clearly.

The boy was tall and handsome, standing over 1.8 meters, with a striking and sunny appearance—the kind of guy who would easily win a girl's heart. In contrast, his girlfriend was rather plump, wore black-rimmed glasses, and had an unremarkable appearance.

At this point, Shen Jingshu finally understood Kaixinuo's concerns. Anyone who saw the two with such different appearances would feel that they were incompatible, so it's no wonder that she suspected her best friend had fallen for a scam.
