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

Before long, several staff members arrived with dozens of exquisite dresses, in all styles and fabrics, filling the entire living room.

Lin Wanqing wasn't particularly interested in these gorgeous clothes, but considering that this was her first formal banquet and she was representing the Li family, she still carefully selected them.

In the end, she chose a light purple evening gown with a skirt adorned with tiny rhinestones, exuding both gentleness and elegance.

Wearing it made her complexion look radiant and her temperament gentle. Shen Jingshu, standing beside her, also smiled and praised, "Mom, this suits you perfectly, it looks absolutely beautiful."

Since discovering Shen Mobai's infidelity, Lin Wanqing has been extremely anxious and her health has been weak. She has been carefully recuperating at the Li family's residence and has improved considerably, but she still lacks energy.

After choosing her dress in the morning and having lunch, she felt a bit tired and went back to her room to rest.

These days, Shen Jingshu has been focusing on refining the purple energy she absorbed from Lu Jingxing. The rich and mellow energy has been nourishing her cultivation, and her progress has been quite smooth. She has not gone out at all.

With nothing to do, she found a mask, put it on, and planned to start a live stream to tell fortunes, accumulate some merit, and also to see what kind of uproar had taken place online regarding the previous murder case.

Shen Jingshu put on her mask, adjusted the equipment, and gently pressed the start broadcast button.

Fans who followed her account immediately received a notification that she was online, and within minutes, dozens of people flooded into the live stream.

These people were all regular viewers who had watched the live stream last time and witnessed Zhang Xiao call the police and the police actually finding the body next door.

Shen Jingshu glanced at the fan data in the backend, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

However, during a single live stream, her account gained over a hundred followers, something that would have been impossible under normal circumstances.

She knew perfectly well that the bizarre murder case from last time had brought her so much attention.

The live chat quickly filled with comments asking for follow-up information.

"Host, you're finally live! What happened to that ghost story next door?"

"Has the case been solved? Was it really a ghost crying for help?"

"Master, please tell me quickly, what exactly is going on with that room!"

Just as Shen Jingshu was about to speak, a connection request suddenly popped up on the screen. The applicant's ID was Xiaoxiaoai Bagua.

She recognized Zhang Xiao at a glance and answered the call with a light tap of her finger.

Zhang Xiao appeared in the shot; she was sitting at home, looking much more composed than last time.

Viewers in the live stream immediately recognized her, and the chat exploded with even more comments:

"It's her! It's the young lady who called the police!"

"The parties involved are here! Tell us what happened next!"

"Did a murder really happen next door? Does that ghost really exist?"

Zhang Xiaoqing cleared his throat and spoke sincerely to the camera: "I'm connecting with the master today for two reasons: first, to express my gratitude, and second, to make up for the divination fee."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dazzling sports car effect flashed across the live stream screen, and donation notifications scrolled wildly across the public chat.

The online audience was in an uproar:

"Everyone's already paying for the divination; it seems the streamer really did predict things accurately, and it wasn't scripted!"

"My God, this is unbelievable! How did this happen?"

Looking at the screen full of comments, Zhang Xiao slowly began to recount the details of the case: "After my last online call with the master, I reported it to the police. They actually found a decomposing female corpse under the bed in the master bedroom next door. Following the clues from the body, along with information about the previous tenant provided by the landlord, they quickly identified the murderer as the young man who suddenly moved out six months ago. After he was arrested, he confessed to murdering his girlfriend, and the case was completely solved in just a few days."

"Really?! It really is a murder case, that's terrifying!"

"This is terrifying to think about. Could the sound of someone banging against the wall that the young lady heard every day really be a ghost crying for help?"

As soon as this comment appeared, the previously lively live stream room suddenly fell silent.

All netizens held their breath, staring intently at the camera, waiting for Shen Jingshu and Zhang Xiao's response.

The air seemed to freeze, and everyone wanted to know if the sound in the middle of the night was a signal from the ghost of the wrongfully murdered girl.

In fact, Zhang Xiao had been harboring this question in her heart as well. She held her breath, her eyes fixed on the screen, waiting for Shen Jingshu's answer.

Shen Jingshu remained calm, her tone indifferent yet resolute, as she slowly spoke: "That's right, that is the ghost of the deceased. After being murdered by her boyfriend, her soul was trapped in that house, unable to leave or call for help. She could only wander aimlessly. It wasn't until you moved next door that she realized someone was there, and could only send you signals for help little by little by banging her head against the wall."

The moment these words were spoken, the live stream chat exploded. The screen was filled with a dense barrage of comments, all expressing fear and astonishment.

"Ghosts really exist?! That's terrifying!"

"Can the streamer see ghosts? Is he born with the ability to see spirits?"

"This is too unbelievable! It's giving me goosebumps!"

Netizens discussed it animatedly, their screens filled with curiosity and astonishment. Shen Jingshu did not evade the question, her tone calm and composed: "The world has its order of yin and yang, each with its own universe. The sayings passed down from our ancestors are never unfounded. As for metaphysics, belief makes it exist, disbelief makes it not exist; it all depends on each person's mindset, there's no need to force it."

She paused, then changed the subject: "Alright, let's leave the past behind and begin today's fortune telling."

She looked at Zhang Xiao and whispered, "I'll hang up now."

Zhang Xiao quickly bowed again and solemnly thanked the camera: "Thank you so much, Master. If it weren't for you, I would still be in the dark, and this case wouldn't have been solved so quickly."

After saying that, she reluctantly hung up the line, but instead of leaving the live stream, she stayed in the audience to see what the fortune-telling would be like today.

Before long, the number of viewers in the live stream rose steadily, quickly approaching two hundred. New viewers kept pouring in, and the screen was filled with curious questions.

Shen Jingshu then slowly spoke, her voice clear: "Fortune telling livestream, only three divinations per day, seeking only those with a predestined connection."

Immediately, someone in the live chat asked, "Streamer, how do you know who the destined person is?"

Shen Jingshu did not reply directly, but instead raised the corners of her lips slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, showing her self-restraint.

At this moment, Zhang Xiao, who remained in the live stream, sent a comment: "Host, you can write the requirements for fortune telling on the screen. Newcomers can see it at a glance, and you won't have to explain it over and over again."

Shen Jingshu thought the suggestion was very appropriate and immediately nodded, displaying a striking message on the live stream screen: Fortune telling live stream, one sports car for one divination, three divinations a day, no charge if inaccurate.

New netizens who saw this message immediately mocked it, their tone full of skepticism: "So it turns out it's just a scam? And they won't let you get your money back, they've got quite the nerve."

"Now anyone can start live-streaming fortune telling, they're just fooling people."

Upon seeing someone slander Shen Jingshu, the long-time viewers who had witnessed the entire event immediately couldn't sit still, especially Zhang Xiao, who immediately retorted in the live chat, her tone urgent: "Who said it's a scam! I was the person involved. Last time, the streamer accurately predicted the murder case next door, which led to the case being solved. It was unbelievably accurate! If you don't believe me, try it yourself and you'll see!"

The viewers in the live stream echoed their sentiments and helped clarify the situation. For a time, the live stream was filled with a mix of doubts and support, creating a lively atmosphere.
