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

The man who loved taro balls immediately looked troubled. He nervously clenched the hem of his clothes and explained in a low voice, "Master, I really can't refuse tonight's dinner. It's her birthday today. We arranged the dinner two weeks ago. She doesn't know many people in this big city, and I'm the only one left to keep her company. Besides, I ordered the birthday cake in full a long time ago. It's only a dozen minutes before I get off work. It would be impolite and abrupt to say I can't go at the last minute. I just can't bring myself to say that."

The live stream chat was flooded with comments:

It's really hard to cancel a birthday party at the last minute; social niceties are just too complicated.

[Caught between a long-standing friendship and a potential bloodshed, the young woman is torn.]

Shen Jingshu remained calm and said indifferently, "Since you can't refuse, going to the appointment isn't out of the question. I'll teach you a few emergency solutions to minimize this bloodshed."

"First, in fortune telling, when it comes to bloodshed, one should proactively deal with the calamity by making a small, controllable bump or minor bleeding to offset the disaster of an unexpected serious injury. On your way home from work, if you pass by the clinic downstairs from your office, go ahead and get a blood test done. This deliberate break in the skin and a little blood will help you neutralize the bad luck. Second, I'll have someone give you a personal amulet later. Keep it in your inner pocket the whole time you go out. When the evil energy gets close, the amulet will automatically block it."

"Furthermore, keep a close eye on your best friend throughout tonight's dinner. She's narrow-minded, jealous, and critical. The trouble isn't because she intends to harm you, but because she's radiating too much negative energy, and being around you could easily cause an accident. Stay away from sharp objects like glassware, fruit knives, and broken plates while eating. When crossing the street, always walk on the inside and don't walk alongside her, laughing and joking."

"Finally, one last piece of long-term advice: After this birthday party, gradually distance yourself from her. Her negative aura will linger around you for a long time, and even if you resolve today's tragedy, it will continue to interfere with your career and romantic relationships in the future."

The girl who loves taro balls felt much relieved and nodded repeatedly, "I've memorized everything! Thank you so much, Master. I'm so glad you gave me your guidance, otherwise I would have been in real trouble tonight."

Shen Jingshu raised her hand to signal her to relax and prepare to leave work, her eyes scanning the scrolling comments, waiting for the next round of lucky bag draws.

One comment in the live stream stood out: "Since the master's predictions were so accurate, could you please describe exactly what this bloody disaster was like?"

Just as Ai Chi Yu Yuan was about to hang up, she paused, her curiosity piqued, and waited intently for Shen Jing Shu's answer.

Shen Jingshu briefly recalled the scene she had glimpsed during her fortune-telling session, and calmly recounted the whole story: "The process wasn't complicated. You went to your usual hot pot restaurant as usual. Your best friend was already holding back a lot of anger. Today was supposed to be her birthday, but she was publicly reprimanded by her boss for a mistake at work. She was depressed all day, and her resentment had been building up inside her with nowhere to vent."

"After we sat down to order and the hot pot was boiling, she became increasingly aggrieved as we talked, and her negative emotions completely spiraled out of control. She raised her hand and swung her arm violently to vent her anger. The edge of the scalding hot oil pot on the table was hit hard by her elbow, causing most of the hot oil to spill onto your forearm and the back of your hand, resulting in extensive burns. This is the bloody disaster you are destined to experience tonight. It's not from an external bump or knock that causes bleeding, but from burns that are already bleeding, which also falls under the category of bloodshed."

As soon as he said this, the live stream chat exploded with comments.

Oh my god, this is such a terrible birthday mess!

[The trigger was her best friend's emotional breakdown; negative energy can be very harmful.]

Fortunately, the master chef pointed out in advance that as long as one carefully avoids the soup pot, most of the danger can be averted.

After eating taro balls, a chill ran down my spine, and I was filled with lingering fear: "No wonder the master kept reminding me to stay away from sharp and scalding utensils. Now I know why. I will be extremely careful next time and remember his advice."

"Actively donate blood to avert disaster, wear a personal talisman for protection, and stay away from cooking utensils during the meal. If you do these three things, this scalding disaster can be safely resolved. After the birthday banquet, you can gradually distance yourself from them." After giving her these instructions, Shen Jingshu signaled her to go home in peace, then hung up the call and prepared to distribute the second lucky bag.

The second round of lucky bag draws has concluded, and the winning ID is "Little Raindrop." Shen Jingshu said softly, "If your ID is 'Little Raindrop,' you can initiate a video call if you're online."

After a short wait, a video call request popped up. The moment it connected, the camera panned to reveal a room filled with dazzling, luxurious interior design. The high ceiling was inlaid with gilded carvings, a giant crystal chandelier refracted delicate halos of light, and the walls were covered with custom-made marble and hand-carved reliefs. Every piece of soft furnishing exuded an expensive quality, making it a true luxury mansion interior.

The camera then pans to reveal a woman in the center of the frame, wearing a long champagne-colored silk nightgown and sporting loose, wavy hair. She has gentle, elegant features and a composed, dignified demeanor, but her eyes are dark and her face is tired and haggard, clearly indicating poor sleep quality and inner turmoil.

"Hello, Master." The woman greeted me softly. I noticed that Luo Yu was a full-time housewife.

The live stream chat was instantly flooded with comments:

[My goodness! Another wealthy woman from a prominent family is doing a live stream together! The decor is absolutely opulent!]

Just by looking at the background, you can tell this large apartment is worth at least seven figures—something most people wouldn't even dare to dream of in their lifetime!

[Living in such a luxurious house, with no worries about food or clothing, why do you still look so worried? If I lived here, I would have no worries at all in this life!]

[Being rich doesn't mean you're immune to troubles; even wealthy women have their share of worries.]

Shen Jingshu waited quietly for the barrage of comments to subside, gently waiting for the other party to state their needs.

Luo Yu took in the envious comments filling the live stream, a bitter smile tugging at the corners of her lips.

What good is a wealthy family and luxurious mansion that others can only dream of? Beneath the glamorous exterior lies a world riddled with problems. Her husband has been having an affair, his heart has completely turned away from her, and he's determined to divorce her. They've arranged to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau first thing tomorrow morning to complete the formalities.

Shen Jingshu's gaze fell on her face, and she had already seen that the marital palace was dark and cracked, with deep fissures, a sign of a broken marriage and severed affections. She quietly activated her Heavenly Eye, seeing through her life's experiences, and confirmed that the divorce tomorrow was no empty talk.

"Master, I don't even know what I am anymore. I just feel like I've lived a complete failure in this life." Luo Yu's voice choked with sobs, and tears rolled down her cheeks like broken pearls. "Our family backgrounds are vastly different. Back then, I married him without hesitation, my heart and soul were only for him, and I only hoped to stay with him until we grew old. But after only a few years of marriage, he complained that my looks had faded and kept a young and beautiful mistress on the side. That girl is younger than me, knows how to play the victim and please others, and is always more gentle and considerate than me."

Tears streamed down her cheeks. It was hard to tell whether she was lamenting the betrayal she had poured her heart into over the years, or panicking about losing her current affluent and stable life after the divorce.

The live stream chat instantly erupted, filled with indignant condemnations.

Cheating men are disgusting; betraying someone's sincere heart will get their comeuppance sooner or later!

[Men who change their minds once they have money; I despise such ungrateful men!]

[Don't be sad, sister. You have an exceptional personality and looks. Leaving the wrong person is the only way to start anew!]

There's no need to cling to such a heartless and ungrateful person. You'll surely meet someone who knows how to cherish you in the future!

The screen was filled with a dense barrage of words of comfort and sympathy. Luo Yu stared at the comments, her shoulders trembling slightly, unable to calm her surging emotions.
