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

Bai Shanshan was completely panicked and lost her composure.

She couldn't understand how this young girl knew about the Peach Blossom Curse and could even break this evil spell!

This Peach Blossom Spell was secretly taught to her by an old woman in her village when she was a child. The old woman said that when you meet a man you like, you can cast this spell. The person who is cursed will be devoted to the spellcaster for life and will never have any other thoughts.

She had always believed that this spell had been lost long ago and that no one in the world knew about it or could break it. The old woman also said that the only way to break this spell was for either the caster or the victim to die, at which point the spell would automatically become ineffective.

She absolutely refused to believe that this little girl could break this lost spell!

But Shen Jingshu was able to accurately reveal her background and point out the Peach Blossom Curse, which clearly showed that she understood esoteric arts, making her both afraid and hateful.

Bai Shanshan clenched her fists tightly, feigning grievance, tears welling in her eyes instantly. She looked utterly wronged, turning to look at Li Beichen, then at Li Hanting, her voice choked with sobs, full of grievance and resentment: "I don't know why my sister insists on slandering me like this, insists on ruining my relationship with Beichen! We clearly love each other so much… I know I come from a remote area, my family is ordinary, I'm not good enough for the Li family, and you all look down on me from the bottom of your hearts, but Beichen and I truly love each other!"

Since you all look down on me so much, then I'll break up with Beichen!

Bai Shanshan cried out these words, then suddenly stood up, pretending to walk out, looking like she had suffered all kinds of grievances and was forced into a corner.

"No, Shanshan!" Li Beichen panicked immediately, grabbing her wrist tightly, his eyes filled with urgency and determination. "I love you for who you are, it has nothing to do with your family background. I won't allow you to say goodbye!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately shielded Bai Shanshan tightly behind him. When he turned around and looked at Li Hanting and Shen Jingshu, his eyes were instantly filled with estrangement and dissatisfaction, completely devoid of the closeness he used to have.

"Big brother, Jing Shu, what exactly are you trying to do today!" Li Beichen's tone was deep and angry, filled with accusation. "I'm happy to bring my girlfriend to meet my family, not for you to join forces to humiliate her! Choosing who my girlfriend is my business, big brother, you have no right to interfere. Jing Shu, you're a girl too, how can you use such filthy thoughts to maliciously speculate and slander others? You've really disappointed me!"

His gaze toward Shen Jingshu was full of disappointment and reproach.

But Shen Jingshu remained calm, her heart unmoved.

She was already used to such looks. Back in the Shen family, whenever Shen Xinyi pretended to be wronged or cried, everyone in the family would indiscriminately criticize her, looking at her with disappointment and disgust. Li Beichen's gaze now was just repeating the same pattern.

Seeing Li Beichen so rudely reprimanding Jing Shu, Li Hanting instantly flew into a rage, his aura plummeting: "Li Beichen! Do you even know what you're saying! Jing Shu is your sister, apologize to her immediately!"

"I did nothing wrong!" Li Beichen stood firm, protecting Bai Shanshan behind him, his tone unyielding. "If anyone should apologize, it should be Jing Shu apologizing to Shanshan first. Otherwise, I will never bow my head!"

Li Hanting stood up abruptly, clenching his fists in anger. With the agility he had honed in the police station, he was now completely enraged.

"Big brother, don't get agitated." Shen Jingshu slowly stood up, reaching out to stop Li Hanting. Her tone was cold, and she saw through Bai Shanshan's trick at a glance. "Didn't you see? She's just pretending to be wronged to escalate the conflict. She wants to make Second Brother hate you and me and completely side with her to achieve her goal. Bai Shanshan, your underhanded tricks won't work on me."

Before Bai Shanshan could react, Shen Jingshu suddenly raised her hand, her ten fingers flying, forming complex and profound hand seals, while silently chanting Xuanmen incantations, her speech becoming faster and faster.

The next second, she shouted coldly, "Break!"

A dazzling golden light suddenly flashed from her fingertip, flying straight towards Li Beichen's brow and instantly entering his body.

The moment the golden light entered his body, Li Beichen trembled violently, as if struck by an electric current. A violent dizziness surged through his head, and as the world spun around him, he staggered and grabbed the dining table beside him to steady himself and avoid falling to the ground.

Li Beichen leaned on the table and it took him a while to fully recover from the dizziness.

He blinked, a lingering sense of bewilderment in his eyes. He was completely dazed, as if he had just escaped from a long and chaotic dream and was unable to come to his senses for a while, unable to understand his current situation.

As his vision gradually cleared, he glanced around at everyone in the private room, his tense mind slowly relaxing. His gaze finally settled on Li Hanting and Shen Jingshu opposite him. His voice, still hoarse from just waking up, he hesitated before speaking, "Big brother... Jingshu..."

At this moment, his eyes finally shed the obsession and protectiveness that had been controlled by the Peach Blossom Demon, and returned to their usual clarity. However, when he looked at the two of them, he still had a hint of belated surprise and helplessness.

Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at Bai Shanshan beside him.

Bai Shanshan thought that Li Beichen was still under her control, so she quickly stepped forward and tried to take his arm as usual, acting coquettishly and weakly.

Before her hand could even touch Li Beichen's sleeve, she saw him suddenly take a big step back, completely avoiding her with a wary expression and eyes full of unfamiliarity and estrangement.

Li Beichen stared at her, his brows furrowed tightly, his tone filled with deep doubt: "You... are Bai Shanshan?"

"Beichen, what's wrong?" Bai Shanshan panicked, feigning grievance, "I'm your girlfriend, Shanshan!"

"my girlfriend?"

Upon hearing this, Li Beichen's face instantly contorted with indescribable nausea, as if he had swallowed a fly. His expression was incredibly complex, and he practically blurted out, utterly disgusted: "How could an ugly freak like you possibly be my girlfriend? Even if I were blind, I would never date someone like you! There are so many famous heiresses in Beijing, each one stunningly beautiful, even top celebrities are a hundred times better than you. What did you do to me? How could I possibly date someone like you!"

Li Hanting, who was standing to the side, took in the whole scene and understood that the Peach Blossom Curse that had been controlling Li Beichen for so long had been completely broken.

As Li Beichen stood there, in a short moment, all the suppressed memories rushed back into his mind.

His actions over the past month flashed before my eyes—he disregarded his status, indulged an extremely ordinary woman in every way, publicly announced their relationship, spent every day with her, and even engaged in many intimate acts, completely losing his former calm and self-control.

A series of absurd scenes flashed through his mind, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into on the spot. He felt physically uncomfortable all over, and just thinking about it made him feel extremely disgusted.
