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

The video call connected smoothly, and the second winner appeared on camera.

On the screen is a beautiful woman with a gentle appearance and dignified demeanor. She sits comfortably on the sofa in her spacious and exquisite living room. The background decoration is elegant, grand, and understatedly luxurious, making it clear at a glance that she comes from a wealthy family and lives a stable life.

The woman had gentle and composed features, and her whole being exuded a peaceful and warm aura. She spoke softly and gently, which was exceptionally pleasant.

"Hello host, I'm your fan."

Shen Jingshu nodded gently: "Hello, it's a peaceful time. What would you like to have divined today?"

When gently questioned by her admired master, a faint smile appeared in the woman's eyes. She gently adjusted the phone camera down slightly, revealing her slightly protruding belly, and softly spoke:

"As you can see, I am pregnant now. Everything is peaceful at home, my husband and I are harmonious, he treats me very well, and now we are welcoming our little life. Everything should be perfect and there should be nothing to worry about."

"I finally managed to snag your lucky bag, and I'm especially worried about my child, so I wanted to have my fortune told for my unborn baby."

The live stream chat was gently flooded with messages:

What a gentle older sister! She seems like a kind and gentle person!

[A happy family, no worries about food or clothing—truly a peaceful and idyllic life!]

[The expectant mother has such a positive attitude; her baby will definitely be very lucky!]

Shen Jingshu asked softly, "What exactly do you want to calculate?"

The woman's eyes were soft, and her tone was full of expectation: "I just want to ask if my child will have a smooth and peaceful life in the future."

"Can."

Shen Jingshu's gaze fell on the woman's face, and she gently calculated her fate with her fingertips.

In just a brief moment, her brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

The viewers in the live stream instantly tensed up.

Why are you frowning?

Is there something wrong with the baby?

Don't scare me, my sister is so gentle!

The woman's heart tightened, and she quickly asked in a soft voice, "Answerer, is there... something wrong with my child?"

Shen Jingshu slowly revealed the original trajectory of fate: "If you had not come to have your fortune told today and had not resolved the issue in advance, according to the original destiny, this child would have been born safely, grown up smoothly under your careful care, inherited your family business in the future, and lived a life free from worries about food and clothing. When he grew up, he would also have a smooth marriage and marry a virtuous and stable wife who was of equal social standing."

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise lit up the woman's eyes: "So... the anchor means I'm having a boy?"

"You should have known this already," Shen Jingshu said with a faint smile.

The woman nodded gently: "Yes, we checked when the baby was three months old, and it is indeed a boy."

Her tone was clear and calm, without any obsession: "Actually, I personally prefer girls, they're gentle and considerate. But whether it's a boy or a girl, they are both my precious treasures, and I will cherish them with all my heart."

As she spoke, her eyes were filled with tender maternal love.

She came from a wealthy family and had no worries about food or clothing. Since becoming pregnant, she stayed at home to rest and recuperate, quitting all her jobs and living a leisurely life.

Bored during her pregnancy, she stumbled upon Shen Jingshu's live stream and was completely captivated by it.

People who are wealthy and have a stable life are more likely to have reverence for destiny and cause and effect, and to have a deep belief in metaphysics and the way of heaven.

She would watch every time Shen Jingshu went live without fail, and was already one of the most loyal fans in the live stream room.

With a calm and perceptive mind, she immediately noticed that Shen Jingshu's words were unfinished and that her tone held a lingering meaning. She smiled gently and calmly began:

"Master, have you noticed anything else? Please speak freely."

Shen Jingshu nodded slightly and said softly, "I can tell from your face that this child did not come easily."

One sentence instantly touched the deepest sorrow in her heart.

A hint of sadness welled up in the woman's eyes. She nodded slowly, her tone calm yet filled with immense difficulty:

"That's right. My husband and I were college classmates and each other's first love. We registered our marriage after dating for three years and have been trying to conceive ever since. But after all these years, there's still no sign of pregnancy."

"Seeking medical help everywhere and trying various treatments didn't work. In the end, I had no choice but to undergo IVF to conceive this child."

The live stream went silent for a moment, then the chat was flooded with comments.

It turns out it's not easy at all... They seem so happy, but they've suffered so much behind the scenes.

No matter how wealthy or beautiful you are, the road to having a child is incredibly arduous.

[A couple who were each other's first love and came from happy families, but were held back by having children. Life is indeed never perfect.]

Thankfully, our wish has come true now. Baby, you must grow up safe and sound!

Looking at the tenderness and determination in her eyes, Shen Jingshu softened her tone and continued:

"Precisely because it was hard-won, you placed all your hopes on this child."

Shen Jingshu spoke calmly, asking, "You and your husband must come from very different backgrounds, right?"

The woman was startled, her face filled with disbelief: "Anchor, you could even tell that?"

She sighed softly and spoke candidly about her marriage:

"My husband is a poor boy from the mountains, a true golden phoenix that flew out of the valley. I, on the other hand, am an only child from a well-off family. When we were dating, my parents strongly opposed it, saying we were not a good match and the gap between us was too big."

"But he is a down-to-earth, considerate, and caring person. He took great care of me and gradually won over my parents with his sincerity, which finally led to our marriage. We have been very happy since our marriage, and our relationship is harmonious. The only regret is that we haven't had children yet."

Shen Jingshu pressed on, "You've been married for so many years and haven't been able to conceive. Have you gone to the hospital for checkups?"

"We've had many tests done," the woman said calmly, with a hint of helplessness. "All the tests are normal, and neither he nor I have any health problems, but we just can't get pregnant. The doctors can't give us a reason either; we can only conclude that it's just not meant to be."

"But thankfully, good things come to those who wait, and now I'm finally pregnant as I wished, so it's like the end of the hardship has finally come to an end."

A wave of sighs swept through the live stream chat:

No wonder it was so difficult; it's truly remarkable that a wealthy only daughter and a poor but talented son could come together.

[If you're physically healthy but can't conceive, in metaphysics it's mostly a matter of fate and destiny.]

[This older sister has really gone through so much; she's sacrificed so much. We must take good care of this baby.]

Shen Jingshu raised her eyes, her tone calm yet each word clear:

"If I told you that the child in your belly is not your child."

"impossible!"

The gentle smile on her face froze instantly, her complexion turned pale, and she shuddered, her voice trembling slightly.

"Host, how can you say that? That's absolutely impossible!"

The live stream chat exploded.

Holy crap! Here comes the iconic scene!

I knew the master's words had a hidden meaning!

[IVF baby! Did the hospital mix up the embryos?]

Even prestigious hospitals make such basic mistakes?

The woman suppressed her panic and immediately thought of the only possibility, asking anxiously and fearfully:

"You mean... the hospital made a mistake during the embryo transfer? But we chose a top-tier hospital with strict procedures; how could such a mistake happen?"

She was filled with disbelief.

After years of trying to conceive without success and suffering greatly, she finally got pregnant through IVF. The whole family cherished this child as their most precious treasure. How could this child not be their own flesh and blood?
