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

Shen Jingshu looked at Xu Yun, her tone calm, each word hitting the nail on the head: "Miss Xu, your upbringing is etched into your very being. Your family backgrounds and experiences are worlds apart from his. What makes you so sure that your so-called harmony isn't just something he's deliberately putting on an act? Is he always so compliant and good-tempered, so perfect he seems unreal?"

Xu Yun nodded subconsciously: "Yes, he's always been like this."

No one is perfect. There is no one in this world who is without flaws and without any faults.

Shen Jingshu's voice was slightly cold, "If there is any, it can only be an act."

The live stream chat instantly exploded with discussion among netizens:

"The anchor is absolutely right! My ex-boyfriend was just like that—he seemed perfect at first glance, but it turned out to be all an act!"

"Their family backgrounds are too different; their values ​​and lifestyles simply can't be completely compatible. There's definitely a problem!"

"So what if it's a ten-year relationship? There are plenty of people who fake deep affection!"

Xu Yun's face paled slightly, but she still forced herself to ask, "What exactly are you trying to say, host?"

"What I want to say is that your fiancé of ten years is not your true love at all."

Shen Jingshu's words struck Xu Yun like a thunderbolt, leaving her trembling. She shook her head violently: "Impossible! How could he not be my destined partner?"

"Your lucky star hasn't moved at all; your destined partner hasn't appeared yet."

Shen Jingshu looked directly at her, her tone resolute, "In your destiny palace, I only see a heavy, rotten peach blossom, and your fiancé is that rotten peach blossom."

"You can't slander him out of thin air!"

Xu Yun became agitated, her tone full of defiance, "Without solid evidence, I will never believe you! Our ten-year relationship cannot be denied with just a few words!"

Shen Jingshu sighed softly, her tone calm and even: "If you want evidence, I'll give it to you. It's 3:35 PM now. Wait until 6 PM, and don't reveal your whereabouts to anyone during that time. If your boyfriend or best friend calls to ask where you are, just say you're working overtime at the company. At 6 PM sharp, go to your marital home. You'll find the truth you're looking for there."

After saying that, Shen Jingshu said no more and waited quietly for her response.

Xu Yun was filled with doubt and confusion. Ten years of relationship and the mysterious prophecy were pulling at her heart. In the end, she could not suppress the lingering unease and gritted her teeth to agree: "Okay, I will do as the master says."

"You don't need to pay the divination fee now," Shen Jingshu said calmly. "You can come back to me to collect it after everything is settled."

"Okay, thank you, Master."

Just as Xu Yun was about to hang up, viewers in the live stream flooded the screen with anxious messages trying to dissuade her:

"Please don't die, miss! We want to wait and see what happens next!"

"Yeah, yeah, stay in the live stream and let us know if anything happens!"

"We also want to see if there really is a problem!"

Xu Yun glanced at the time; there were still several hours until six o'clock. She then said to the live stream, "If you don't mind, I'll connect with the master again at six o'clock sharp to tell you the results."

Netizens cheered and flooded the screen with their anticipation, which put Xu Yun at ease before she hung up the call.

As soon as she left, the discussion in the live stream immediately focused on the case, with several insightful comments standing out:

"The anchor is so certain, could it be that her fiancé is cheating on her?"

"Going to the new house at six o'clock... isn't that just blatantly asking the girl to catch them cheating?"

The more the guesses were made, the closer they seemed to be to the truth. Shen Jingshu simply smiled faintly and didn't reply: "There's no need to rush to guess. The truth will naturally become clear when we connect at six o'clock."

She returned to the main topic, her voice clear and bright: "There are two more divinations today; those who wish to have their readings done can request a connection."

Not long after, a call request popped up. Shen Jingshu answered, and a young couple appeared on the screen. They looked haggard, with heavy dark circles under their eyes, clearly exhausted from not sleeping for many days.

Shen Jingshu spoke softly, "What would you two like to know?"

The woman raised her bloodshot eyes, her voice hoarse and choked with sobs: "Master, I heard that you don't charge for fortune telling here if it's inaccurate. I want to ask you to tell my fortune... Where is my missing daughter? Is she alright...?"

As soon as she said this, the previously lively live stream room fell silent. Everyone held their breath and listened quietly to her story.

"My daughter's name is Niu Niu, she just turned three and was about to start kindergarten. My husband and I work away from home, so we left Niu Niu with her grandparents in our hometown. But just three days ago, we suddenly received a call from our hometown saying that Niu Niu was missing..."

As the woman spoke, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. The man beside her also had red eyes, clenched his fists tightly, and looked full of self-blame and anxiety.

"My husband and I bought tickets overnight and rushed back to our hometown. We mobilized all our relatives and villagers to search for her, and we also reported it to the police immediately. The police also dispatched officers to search the area where Niu Niu disappeared and the surrounding area for several miles, but after three days of searching, we didn't find a single clue..."

"My Niu Niu, she's only three years old, and she's been missing for three whole days..." Niu Niu's mother sobbed uncontrollably, her body trembling uncontrollably. "I can't even imagine how scared she must have been out there all alone for these three days, without food or water. She's so small, how could she have survived..."

For the past three days, she barely slept a wink. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw her daughter crying and calling for her mother, and her heart ached as if it were being cut by a knife. Desperate, she decided to post a missing person notice online, hoping to get help from netizens in the search.

When she accidentally clicked into Shen Jingshu's live stream, she didn't have high hopes. However, the couple both came from rural backgrounds and believed in these superstitious beliefs. With their daughter's life hanging in the balance, they wanted to try even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, so they hurriedly applied to connect.

Shen Jingshu quietly looked at the couple, her gaze falling on their children's palace. Although the palace was tinged with a bluish-black hue, there was no sign of the loss of a child, which reassured her somewhat.

She quickly calculated with her fingertips, and after a moment she figured out the cause and effect. A surge of anger welled up in her heart—it was already a modern society, yet there were still such ignorant and outrageous acts of male chauvinism.

Her face was solemn as she looked at the couple and asked in a deep voice, "I've already figured out where your daughter is, but are you sure you can accept this truth?"

"We want it! Whatever the truth, we can accept it!" Niu Niu's mother cried her heart out. "What could be more painful for us than not being able to find our daughter!"

"Okay." Shen Jingshu said slowly, "You are currently in a small mountain village under the jurisdiction of Beijing, while Niu Niu has been taken to the city of Beijing, which is 200 kilometers away from you. The person who took her away is planning to take a train early tomorrow morning to sell her to a remote area in the south."

"Human traffickers! My daughter has been kidnapped by human traffickers?!" Niu Niu's father suddenly stood up, his eyes bloodshot and his whole body trembling.

"It's true that she was being controlled by human traffickers, but she wasn't forcibly abducted; she was sold to human traffickers."

Shen Jingshu's words were like a thunderclap in the live broadcast room, the entire screen of comments instantly froze, followed by gasps of shock.

"What? Sold? Not kidnapped?"

"That's outrageous! Who would sell their own child to human traffickers?!"

"We were just condemning human traffickers as utterly heartless, how did the plot suddenly take a turn?"

Netizens were in an uproar, shocked and furious, all staring intently at the screen, waiting for Shen Jingshu to reveal what would happen next.

The young couple opposite them were even more pale-faced, standing there in disbelief, as if they had been stunned by the sudden truth.
