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

Mr. Xu's expression changed drastically. He immediately pushed open the car door and rushed to the roadside. Looking up, he saw the bridge collapse in the middle. Many vehicles that had already driven onto the bridge were unable to avoid it and plunged into the river below, a horrifying scene.

His hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably, filled with disbelief. This harrowing scene was clearly transmitted to the ears of the four people in the cafeteria through the phone's speakerphone.

The four people on the other end of the phone were so shocked that they broke out in a cold sweat. They all looked at Shen Jingshu with disbelief in their eyes—Jingshu had really been right!

"Dad, are you alright?" Xu Zhixia was the first to come to her senses, her hand holding the phone was trembling, and her voice was filled with lingering fear.

"I'm fine, my darling daughter, don't worry!" Mr. Xu's voice also sounded shaken. "We're still quite a distance from the bridge. Luckily, we listened to Jing Shu and didn't drive any further."

At that moment, the driver's voice came from the other end of the phone, his tone filled with lingering fear: "Mr. Xu, if we had continued at our original speed, we would have been right at the point where the bridge collapsed, and there would have been no way to avoid it!"

These words sent a chill down Xu's father's spine, soaking his back instantly. Falling from such a high bridge into the river would have been unimaginable; he had clearly escaped death!

He took a deep breath, his voice filled with sincere gratitude: "Jing Shu, thank you so much today! You saved my life! When I get back from my business trip, you must come to our house so I can properly thank you!"

"Uncle Xu, you're too kind. I'm just glad you're safe and sound," Shen Jingshu replied calmly.

Xu Zhixia then gave her father a few more instructions, telling him to be careful, before hanging up the phone.

As soon as the phone call ended, Song Ran, Lin Miaomiao, and Xu Zhixia stared intently at Shen Jingshu, their eyes filled with shock and curiosity. Shen Jingshu, however, remained calm and unaffected, continuing to eat her food slowly and methodically.

Only after finishing the last bite did she pull out a tissue to gently wipe her mouth. Looking at her three roommates who looked anxious, she slowly said, "I know you have a lot of questions to ask, but it's too crowded and noisy in the cafeteria to talk about them here. Let's go back to the dorm and talk about it slowly."

Upon hearing this, the three of them forgot about the food on the table, quickly cleared their plates, and hurriedly followed Shen Jingshu back to the dormitory.

As soon as she stepped into the dormitory, Xu Zhixia hurriedly closed the door, turned around and grabbed Shen Jingshu's hand, anxiously asking, "Jingshu, how did you know the bridge would collapse and Dad would be in trouble? This is unbelievable!"

Song Ran, standing to the side, was also full of amazement and couldn't help but interject, "I never knew, Jing Shu, that you actually understood metaphysics! You're truly a hidden master! How come I never noticed before? You've been so low-key!"

Shen Jingshu smiled helplessly and explained, "If nothing urgent happened before, there was naturally no need to show it. Besides, we are college students now, and the campus has always opposed feudal superstitions. Even if I said in advance that I know these things, you might not believe me, and you might even think I'm strange."

Xu Zhixia looked at her, full of doubt. She had spent the most time with Shen Jingshu, but she had never realized that her friend had such abilities: "Jingshu, tell me honestly, when did you learn all this?"

"I always have," Shen Jingshu said calmly, looking at her. "It's just that my master instructed me not to reveal these abilities to outsiders before I come of age. Given the urgency of the situation today, I had no choice but to tell you."

"How did you know my father would be in trouble?"

"I could tell from your face," Shen Jingshu said slowly. "While we were eating in the cafeteria just now, I glanced up and noticed a thick, dark aura surrounding the area of ​​your parents' palace. This is a sign that a close relative is about to encounter misfortune. Later, I secretly combined this with your birth date and time to calculate that your father would encounter the calamity of the bridge collapsing on this trip."

"My God, that's amazing!" Xu Zhixia's eyes widened, her face filled with shock. "Just by looking at faces and doing some finger calculations, she can predict things so accurately! My best friend is actually a master of metaphysics!"

She still felt a sense of unreality, as if she were in a dream. Song Ran and Lin Miaomiao next to her were also completely stunned. Having lived in the same dormitory for so long, they never knew that there was such an amazing person hiding next to them.

Xu Zhixia, still unable to hide her excitement, grabbed Shen Jingshu's hand and kept asking, "Really, Jingshu? Then can you take another look at my face? Are there any other problems?"

Shen Jingshu smiled gently at her and softly reassured her, "Don't worry, there's no ominous sign on your face anymore. Your father has escaped this calamity, and from now on your family will live in harmony, peace, and prosperity, free from major disasters throughout your lives."

Hearing this, Xu Zhixia was completely relieved, her eyes filled with joy.

Shen Jingshu sighed inwardly. In her previous life, if Xu's father had truly met with misfortune, the Xu family company would have relied entirely on him. Xu Zhixia was still young, and Xu's mother was just a full-time housewife who knew nothing about business. The company would inevitably have fallen into chaos, the Xu family would have declined, and they would have been forced to move away from the city. Fortunately, in this life, she intervened in time to avert disaster, and her friend could continue to have a stable and happy life.

Seeing this, Song Ran and Lin Miaomiao also came over with curious eyes, their tone full of expectation: "Jing Shu, Jing Shu, can you take a look at us too? What can you tell from our faces?"

Shen Jingshu raised her eyes, carefully examined the two people's faces, and slowly said, "You two are currently experiencing stable fortunes, living peacefully, without any misfortunes, and everything is fine."

"That's good, that's good!" The two smiled at each other, their hearts finally at ease.

Song Ran still looked incredulous and couldn't help but exclaim, "I still think it's so amazing, it's like a dream!"

Shen Jingshu chuckled helplessly. Lin Miaomiao leaned closer, her eyes full of curiosity, and asked, "Jingshu, are people in this line of work like they say online—can they tell fortunes and catch ghosts? Can you really see ghosts?"

Seeing her three roommates' eyes light up with curiosity, Shen Jingshu asked calmly, "You really want to know?"

"Of course we want to!" The three nodded in unison.

"If a living person easily sees a ghost, he will be tainted with yin energy, which is bad for his luck and health. Moreover, most ghosts look ferocious and terrifying. If you see one, you will probably have nightmares at night."

Upon hearing this, the three of them shuddered instantly and hurriedly waved their hands and shook their heads: "Then...never mind! We don't want to hear it anymore!"

Seeing their startled expressions, the dormitory erupted in laughter. The group joked and teased each other for a while before the matter was finally put behind them, and their friendship grew even stronger.
