The real heiress is a fortune teller; her divinations are worth a fortune, and the whole internet is

She felt very uncomfortable.

It's unclear whether it was the original owner's emotions or her own.

There was no joy of family reunion as I had imagined; besides unease, I only felt an urge to escape.

Like her, the original owner of this body was unwilling to return to the Gu family.

Gu Qingheng frowned, as if she had seen something in her expression. "You already knew about your background."

This is not a question, but a statement.

Chang Xi didn't reply, but her expression told the Gu family that she already knew, so she wasn't surprised.

Lu Wenli sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he quietly stepped behind Chang Xi and let them handle it themselves.

Gu Qingfeng couldn't understand. "The result you calculated at the company was correct? But you're telling me you made a mistake. Why did you lie to me? Don't you want to go home?"

Chang Xi pursed her lips. "Why should I tell you?"

Her question completely stumped the Gu family.

Chang Xi's gaze swept over Gu Ruqin, lingering for a couple more seconds. "I'm twenty-three years old now, and I can still live a normal life without parents. I don't need the Gu family's rich heiress status, nor do I need parents who appeared out of nowhere."

Wouldn't it be better if everyone just lived their own lives?

Chang Xi will eventually return to her own world; the original owner of this body had already drowned when she transmigrated. If she leaves this place, the original owner's body will only remain as a corpse.

The Gu family will have to endure the pain of losing their daughter again.

Why bother.

It would be better not to develop feelings in the first place.

Gu Ruqin felt she shouldn't have come; Chang Xi didn't like her.

"Chang Xi, are you angry because of my existence?" Gu Ruqin grabbed the hem of her clothes. "If my existence makes you unhappy, I won't stay in the Gu family!"

Why does that sound a bit like a green tea bitch?

Lu Wenli stood in the corner, watching the drama unfold.

The real and the fake heiress meet on a narrow path.

It would be difficult for them to coexist harmoniously.

Chang Xi didn't understand why she said that, but shook her head expressionlessly, "I don't care about you, and I don't really care about any of you. I just don't like having another person in my life, it's too much trouble."

Emotional debts are the hardest to repay; I hate trouble.

What she said was half true and half false, which made it seem very convincing.

In any case, the entire Gu family was provoked by her indifferent attitude, their hearts ached, yet they were helpless.

Tang Wan never imagined that one day she would find her daughter, only to have her daughter disown her.

"Is Chang Xi here?" Xia Qingli walked in, somewhat surprised to see so many people. "Chairman Gu? President Gu? Is there something you need?"

"It's nothing, are you a customer from Bo?" Chang Xi was just looking for someone to interrupt.

She didn't want to see Tang Wan and her husband's eyes again; they held too many emotions that she couldn't reciprocate.

Gu Hongwen had no choice but to suppress his sadness and reply politely, "Since you have guests, we'll head back now and talk again another day."

He put his arm around Tang Wan, who was unwilling to leave, and walked out.

Chang Xi led the way, saying, "From inside, they said, 'Lu Wenli, pour some tea.'"

"Okay," Lu Wenli casually stuffed the appraisal report into the back of the locker and took out some tea leaves to make tea.

The Gu family matter didn't affect him much. If his master didn't want to acknowledge the Gu family, then he wouldn't. When he became a disciple, he was determined to be Chang Xi, not the Gu family.

Xia Qingli put down the gift in her hand and explained her purpose, "Besides thanking you for helping me meet with my mother, there is another matter I need to trouble you with."

"explain."

"I have a very good friend, her name is Zou Wenjing," Xia Qingli suddenly felt that this was not a good way to put it, and quickly added, "I met her after I went to university, and you are still my best friend from high school."

Chang Xi smiled slightly. This Xia Qingli was kind of funny.

The unpleasantness caused by the Gu family's sudden visit vanished completely at this moment.

She slightly raised her chin. "Um, and then?"

"Wenjing's family is quite well-off, and our two families have a lot of contact. About half a year ago, she started dating a man who was older than her."

Chang Xi wasn't impressed. "Older people are more caring."

"Twenty years older than Wenjing."

?

"Perhaps this gentleman is more handsome." As long as he is good-looking, being older is acceptable.

Xia Qingli: "You're not good-looking at all. Have you ever seen a four-legged thing in a country field?"

Chang Xi, who didn't know where their tacit understanding came from, raised an eyebrow: "A toad with a swan? He should be a good person, and treats Zou Wenjing very well, right?"

Otherwise, how could a beautiful young woman fall for an old and ugly guy?

"He's just a bad person!" Xia Qingli said angrily. "During their relationship, I dealt with countless trivial matters caused by their arguments."

No matter how I explain it to Wenjing, she just thinks that man is very good to her, very handsome in her eyes, and they're getting married soon. I really don't know what to do.

"Love-obsessed, respectful, locked in, and blessed."

"But she wasn't like this before," Xia Qingli said, of course she knew that being love-struck was no good.

"When we met, Wenjing was a very career-oriented person. She was busy with her studies abroad during college. She was a person with very high standards for herself, and her two ex-boyfriends were incredibly handsome."

"Is this how you use 'utterly inhuman'?" Chang Xi was surprised; this girl's Chinese wasn't very good.

"Pretty much," Xia Qingli waved her hand. "Don't worry about the details, let's get down to business. Both of her boyfriends were outstanding, which shows that Wenjing's taste is not problematic. But I can't understand why she would fall so deeply in love with an old, ugly, and despicable man, and even give up the opportunity to go abroad for him."

She even planned to hand over her family's business to that scumbag after getting married, and willingly become a housewife.

After what happened in Thailand and the human trafficking village, I had a new thought: Is it possible that this scumbag also used some underhanded methods on Wenjing?

Upon hearing this, Chang Xi finally understood her purpose. "It's not impossible, but I need to meet your friend first and see for myself to know what's going on."

"Okay," Xia Qingli thought for a moment, "She's going to try on wedding dresses the day after tomorrow, so you can come with me."

"Let me make it clear first, I charge a fee." Chang Xi opened the calculator on his phone. "Consultation fee is two thousand per hour, on-site service is ten thousand per day, one thousand per talisman, exorcising ghosts and demons starts at thirty thousand, the specific fee depends on how difficult the case is."

"Okay, you're offering such a low price?" Xia Qingli readily transferred the money. "I've seen those masters always start at a million, won't you have no market for this?"

She wanted to take more, but the rules didn't allow it.

"I take it upon myself to help the weak and needy, and I am unwilling to charge excessively high prices."

"Speak like a human being," Lu Wenli said, leaning over to refill the tea.

Chang Xi pursed her lips, "The sect rules forbid it; violating them will result in being struck by lightning."

Xia Qingli: "..."

Lu Wenli: "..."

What a simple and unpretentious reason.

Watching Chang Xi send Xia Qingli away.

The Gu family's car was still parked at the door, and Chang Xi pretended not to see it.

Tang Wan pressed herself against the car window, trying to get a few more glances.

The Gu family held a family meeting overnight to discuss a countermeasure, but Gu Ruqin was the only one missing.

I deliberately didn't invite her.

Gu Hongwen said in a deep voice, "I called you here today to discuss how to resolve the matter between Qingdai and Ruqin."

Gu Qingheng recalled the first time Chang Xi came to the Gu family. He looked at the family with envy in his eyes, but when he saw Ruqin, his expression changed. Could it be that he was blaming them for finding another child to replace her during the more than twenty years she had been missing?
