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

As the second divination session concluded, the atmosphere in the live stream became somber and dejected.

Even though we're watching from behind a screen, everyone feels a tightness in their chest. Even those who haven't experienced it firsthand can't help but feel a pang of sorrow and sympathy.

Shen Jingshu looked at the gloomy comments on the screen and didn't bother to offer any empty words of comfort.

There are three thousand great paths, and everyone has their own destiny and their own tribulations.

The world is full of different people. Some are born into a life of ease and comfort, while others face a life of hardship and struggle in the mud.

She will not arbitrarily interfere with other people's predetermined cause and effect.

But fate is never a static dead end.

In life, we will always stand at countless crossroads and make different choices.

If you choose the right direction at a crucial moment, your future trajectory will take a dramatic turn for the better.

"Alright, that concludes the second divination for tonight. Next, we invite our third lucky viewer to apply for a live connection."

The third lucky netizen, whose ID is "Flowers Bloom in Wealth," was connected via video call.

On the other side of the camera was a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her fifties.

"Hello, Master Shen! I'm a long-time fan of yours, I watch every single one of your live streams."

"Thank you for your kind words, Auntie." Shen Jingshu smiled faintly. "What would you like to have calculated today, Auntie?"

The aunt's lips moved, her expression hesitant, as if she was reluctant to speak.

Shen Jingshu saw through her immediately and asked, "Auntie, are you here to have your marriage fortune told?"

The aunt nodded quickly: "Yes, yes! That's right, it's fate."

The live chat instantly became lively.

Wow, this auntie is about the same age as my mom!

Is this for predicting marriage prospects for my children?

[This is so true! My mom is also a huge fan of Master Shen and she really believes in fortune telling! When I was dating my ex-boyfriend, my mom insisted on getting his birth chart to have someone match it with his, saying that if their birth charts didn't match, they weren't meant to be together and I couldn't be with him.]

[Same parents! Many elders in my family care about compatibility of birth dates and times]

[I never imagined that Master Shen had so many older fans in this age group.]

"Auntie, are you planning to have your marriage fortune told?"

"Oh my, that's right! Master Shen, how did you see it at a glance!" Hua Kai Fugui was stunned for a moment, then smiled in realization, "Look at my memory, I forgot that you can tell a lot from people's faces."

After Shen Jingshu pointed it out, the aunt stopped being coy and relaxed a lot.

"To tell you the truth, I've been living alone since my divorce. For so many years, I've had no children and have been living all by myself."

As I get older, I inevitably feel lonely at night, and I think about having someone to keep me company in my old age.

I recently started dating a guy named Lao Zhao. He was divorced years ago and has a son, and the two of them depend on each other for survival.

We spent a full six months together, and I think he's a pretty good person.

Just a few days ago, Lao Zhao proposed that he wanted to get a marriage certificate with me.

Deep down, I'm willing. I've been single for so many years, hoping to have someone to rely on when I'm old.

I happened to see your live stream today, and luckily I managed to snag a lucky bag.

I'd like to ask Master Shen for his advice: are Lao Zhao and I suitable to get married? If I marry him, will my later years be stable? Will I truly have someone to rely on?

"So it was Auntie's own marriage matter."

Shen Jingshu spoke softly, "I understand. At this age, you always want someone to rely on in the future. When you're young, it doesn't matter how you struggle on your own, but as you get older, you inevitably fear loneliness. If you're unwell one day and fall ill and bedridden, it's always better to have someone to take care of you. However, remarriage is a big deal, especially since the other person has a son."

Seeing a barrage of curious questions in the comments, Hua Kai Fugui sighed and slowly began to recount the past.

"When I was with my ex-husband, he was a heavy drinker and would beat me when he was drunk."

I was once pregnant, but he beat me during the pregnancy, and I lost the baby. The accident damaged my health, and I have been unable to conceive since. My ex-husband divorced me because of this.

Sometimes I even think that not being able to have children might actually be a blessing in disguise.

If I can still have children, I'm afraid I'll never escape that man in this lifetime; he will never let me go easily.

If I stayed by his side, I don't know how many more beatings I would suffer. Several times he hit me so hard that I almost lost half my life.

After my divorce, I came to this city alone to work, and almost completely cut off all contact with my hometown.

My parents passed away a long time ago, and my younger siblings have all started their own families and are busy with their own little lives, so we've gradually drifted apart.

For so many years, it's always been just me alone.

I've met Old Zhao's son. He's a fair-skinned, well-mannered young man.

Even he was quite supportive of me getting together with his father.

【Master, please calculate quickly! Are my aunt and her boyfriend truly meant to be?】The comments section was flooded with messages.

Shen Jingshu had already glimpsed the hidden calamity in Huakai Fugui's face when the connection was established.

She shook her head slightly, her tone devoid of any tact.

"Auntie, you absolutely mustn't marry him. You'd better break up with him right now. He's not with you because he genuinely wants a companion."

"what?"

Hua Kai Fugui was stunned, her face filled with disbelief. "Old Zhao is a really good person! We've known each other for six months, and I've never noticed anything unusual. He doesn't smoke or drink, he doesn't have any of those bad habits, and he certainly doesn't have any tendency towards domestic violence. Master Shen, can you tell me why?"

"If you marry him, you'll die within a month. He'll kill you."

These words were spoken.

Hua Kaifugui suddenly trembled, her hand slipped from her phone, and the camera shook violently. She hurriedly steadied her arm, her voice trembling.

"Master Shen... are you telling the truth? Old Zhao... would he harm me? Why? I'm just a lonely woman, what do I have that would make him risk everything?"

"It's all about money. Does his son have a girlfriend and are they planning to get married soon?"

"That's right! Xiao Zhao does have a girlfriend. She's very pretty, and Lao Zhao even took me out to dinner. The two young people seem to have a great relationship. But what does that have to do with me?"

The live stream chat exploded instantly, with countless creative ideas popping up everywhere.

Did Old Zhao find out that Auntie had secretly saved a large sum of money?

[Married woman murders for financial gain, then names herself as beneficiary of insurance policy?!]

"Flowers bloom and wealth arrives"—he immediately shook his head.

"I haven't had much education, I have no formal education, and I've always made a living by doing odd jobs. I don't own a house in this city and have always rented. Although I've saved up a little money over the years, it's not a large amount. It's not like I would take someone's life for such a small sum. Why? Master Shen, please tell me!"
