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

Xu Zhixia, Song Ran, and Lin Miaomiao in the dormitory were still immersed in the sighs over Luo Yurou's century-long infatuation, their hearts filled with emotion for this devoted female ghost.

Upon hearing Shen Jingshu call out the second person to join the call, the three of them immediately perked up, huddled together by the phone, and stared intently at the live stream, eagerly anticipating the next part of the story.

Almost the instant Shen Jingshu finished speaking, a connection request popped up in the live stream room, and a new person was ready to connect.

Soon, a new connection request was connected, and the other party's ID was "Blooming Prosperity." Just from this down-to-earth name, everyone guessed that it was probably an elder, and sure enough, a woman who looked to be around sixty years old appeared on the screen.

As soon as the call connected, the auntie smiled apologetically and said, "Master, I'm so sorry to all the young people in the live stream. This old woman isn't very good at handling these smart gadgets, so I was a bit slow and kept you all waiting."

"It's alright," Shen Jingshu replied calmly.

The woman then asked, "Master, I won a lucky bag, so can you tell my fortune?"

"That's right, but you need to pay the divination fee first."

These words immediately sparked murmurs in the live stream chat.

"That's strange. Master Shen usually settles the divination fee after the divination is completed, and he rarely collects it in advance."

"This seems to be more than it appears."

A strange look flashed across the woman's eyes, but she didn't ask any questions. She immediately picked up her phone and started operating it. In an instant, a streak of light flashed across the live stream screen, and a luxury sports car effect lit up, which was the gift sent by Huakai Fugui.

After presenting the gift, the woman got straight to the point: "Master, I'll be frank then. I want to know how long it will take for my daughter-in-law to get pregnant, and whether I'll ever be able to hold a big, healthy grandson in my lifetime."

As soon as these words were spoken, the live chat exploded.

"Good grief, the classic case of favoring sons over daughters is back!"

"What era are we living in? Why are people still so fixated on having grandsons? Aren't granddaughters sweet and caring?"

"Remember that couple who favored sons over daughters? They didn't end up well. This auntie is a woman herself, so why does she still hold such old-fashioned ideas?"

The woman was not highly educated, and the comments scrolled too fast for her to read clearly. So she simply ignored the discussions and looked earnestly at Shen Jingshu: "Master, please help me calculate this."

Shen Jingshu quietly examined her face and slowly said, "Your face alone can only reveal the lineage of your family's offspring. To see the fate of the unborn child, we need a photo of your son."

She could tell from the woman's face that she had given birth to two daughters and one son, and the youngest son was the one who was now married.

"Yes, yes!" Hua Kai Fugui quickly replied. Not knowing how to send pictures from the backend, she simply reached out and picked up the photo frame next to her, pointing a family photo at the camera.

Viewers in the live stream, looking at the young man in the family photo, flooded the chat with comments like, "Auntie's son is quite handsome and well-mannered, but I wonder if he knows that his mother has come to the live stream to ask for a fortune teller in order to have a grandson."

Shen Jingshu's gaze fell on the man in the photo. After carefully examining his face, she understood what was going on and slowly withdrew her gaze.

"Master, how is it? When will I finally be able to hold my big, fat grandson? My son and daughter-in-law have been married for three years, and my daughter-in-law's belly hasn't conceived yet. I'm so anxious!" Hua Kai Fugui leaned forward, asking anxiously.

Shen Jingshu gently shook her head, her tone calm but blunt: "In your life, you will neither hold a grandson nor a granddaughter."

"What?!" Hua Kaifugui's expression changed drastically. He stood up abruptly, his voice rising several octaves. "Master, what do you mean by that? How could this be! Is it that my daughter-in-law can't have children?"

The live stream chat exploded instantly, with many viewers expressing their sympathy for the daughter-in-law.

"This auntie is outrageous! As soon as she hears there are no children, she blames her daughter-in-law first, without ever considering whether it's her son's fault!"

"Exactly! She's a woman herself, yet she targets her daughter-in-law like this—it's such a double standard!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Hua Kai Fugui waved his hand hastily, his face full of certainty. "My son is perfectly healthy. His company arranges annual physical examinations, and all his indicators are normal! It must be my daughter-in-law. She looks frail and sickly; she's definitely the one who can't have children!"

Shen Jingshu frowned slightly and interrupted her directly: "This matter has nothing to do with your daughter-in-law, and she has no right to blame her in the slightest."

Hua Kai Fugui was taken aback: "Why is that?"

"Because your son and daughter-in-law have been married for three years and have never slept together."

These words caused an uproar in the live stream, with the chat exploding with comments:

"??? Sexless marriage? Is that what you understand it to mean?"

"Married for three years and sleeping in the same room, but not in separate rooms? That's outrageous!"

"Now it's confirmed! It's clearly the son's fault, but he keeps blaming his daughter-in-law!"

Hua Kaifugui stood frozen in place, her face drained of color. She wasn't entirely oblivious; she had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, but she was unwilling to accept this absurd truth. Her lips trembled, and she couldn't utter a single word of rebuttal for a long time.

After a long while, she finally came to her senses, staring intently at the camera, her tone filled with resentment and urgency: "Answerer! Explain yourself clearly, what exactly happened? Why did they turn out like this?"

"Family scandals should not be aired in public. You can find out the reason by asking your son and daughter-in-law privately when you get home. I cannot say it in public on the live broadcast." Shen Jingshu said calmly, trying to save face for the family.

"No way! I paid for the divination, so I want to hear the truth!" Hua Kai Fugui's attitude was firm, refusing to budge an inch. "You must tell me everything clearly. I paid money, so I need to know the whole truth!"

Seeing her stubborn expression, Shen Jingshu remained silent for a moment. Since her aunt insisted on hearing the truth, Shen Jingshu no longer cared about saving face and told her the truth directly.

"Your son and daughter-in-law's marriage was a pre-arranged one. They both have different sexual orientations and no feelings for the opposite sex. After they knew the situation, they hit it off and reached a tacit understanding. The marriage was just to appease the elders in the family and stop gossip from others."

She paused, then continued to offer her advice: "If you think back carefully, you'll realize that after the marriage, your daughter-in-law's close friends often visited, and your son was always inseparable from his best friend. The four of them also frequently went out together. These details have long been telling."

These words struck Hua Kaifugui like a thunderbolt, leaving him momentarily stunned. He stood frozen in front of the camera, his face filled with disbelief.

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments, filled with both laughter and exasperation.

"Hahaha, now the truth is completely out!"

"The son prefers men, and the daughter-in-law is devoted to women. Neither of them has any intention of having children, so how can they have a house full of children and grandchildren?"

"Now I finally understand why we've been married for three years without any results—we haven't consummated our marriage at all!"

Hua Kaifugui still shook her head repeatedly, refusing to accept this fact, but Shen Jingshu's words matched all the strange things that had happened in the past, leaving her no choice but to believe them.

"Every word of the divination is true. Whether you believe it or not, you can find out by questioning the two of them privately when you get home." Shen Jingshu was unwilling to say any more and thus ended the second divination.

The moment the call ended, Hua Kai Fugui in the video collapsed into a chair, utterly exhausted. His eyes were vacant, and his hopes of holding his grandson vanished completely. He was utterly dejected.

After a moment of sighs from the audience, the atmosphere in the live stream became lively again.

Shen Jingshu composed herself and spoke gently to the camera: "The second round of divination is over. Next, please welcome the last lucky winner of tonight to connect."

As soon as he finished speaking, a final connection request popped up, and the other party's ID was clearly visible to everyone.
