A woman sat quietly in front of the camera. She wore a moon-white ancient-style outfit, her hair loosely tied up. Her palm-sized face had light makeup, no beauty filters—she was naturally beautiful.
The well-informed Boss Zhang noticed that her attire was far from ordinary. Just the hairpin on her head alone was a one-of-a-kind piece—priceless.
Such a beautiful girl—could she be a relative of the Liu family? Or perhaps a granddaughter-in-law? Probably not. Families of that stature wouldn’t need their members to appear publicly on livestreams.
Although livestreaming had been booming in recent years, they weren’t short on money. Perhaps she was just a relative experiencing life. He followed her account and continued watching.
At the same time, Gu Yunqi returned, bringing many gifts. Under Third Brother’s watchful gaze, he entered Gu Yan’s room.
“Yan’er, look what I brought you.”
Gu Yan quickly shoved the book into her desk and pretended to take out her textbook. She turned back with a delighted expression. “Second Brother, you’re finally back. Is your company really that busy? You haven’t come to see me for over half a month.”
Placing the gifts on the bed, Gu Yunqi pulled over a chair and sat down.
“My dear sister, do you know? My company won’t go bankrupt anymore. Last night, the Liu Corporation directly invested 300 million into us and entrusted us with operations. It’s all thanks to you!”
“Me?”
Gu Yan thought about it. The only person she knew from the Liu family was Liu Qingshan, but they barely interacted. In her eyes, he was nothing more than a useless troublemaker—arrogant, unreasonable, and always bullying others.
“Yes! Without you, how would a small company like ours catch their attention? Thank you, Yan’er.”
Gu Yan understood—it must have been Gu Yunxi’s doing. Since Second Brother didn’t know who helped him, she might as well take the credit.
After all, aside from Fourth and Second Brother, the others seemed to be gradually favoring that country girl.
“It’s nothing. Being able to help my brother makes me happy… it’s just…”
Before finishing, Gu Yan lowered her head. When she looked up again, her eyes were misty, her expression pitiful and delicate, evoking strong sympathy.
“Yan’er, have you gained weight these days?”
What?
Gu Yan froze, caught off guard. Was she really getting fat?
“But before, you were too thin. Gaining some weight is good—it makes you look more blessed.”
“Second Brother, since she came back, all of you have been charmed by her. You don’t treat me like before anymore. I don’t understand, so I’ve been eating more.”
“Yunxi? Just a country girl—you don’t need to care about her. She may be my biological sister, but you’re the one who’s lived with us for eighteen years. I know who matters more.”
Gu Yan’s heart filled with joy. “I knew Second Brother loves me the most.”
…
Although there were many people in the livestream, most were just there to watch. Not a single person applied for a connection.
Gu Yunxi didn’t know how to interact, so she simply sat there quietly.
She had received quite a few gifts. Finally, a user named “Composed and Unmoved” requested a connection. She accepted and glanced at the person on the other side.
Unexpectedly, it was truly a case of enemies crossing paths—he had come to her so quickly.
“Doctor Zhao, what question do you need answered?”
Zhao Huai closed his office door and faced the camera again. “Gu Yunxi, you ruined my plans. I’ll make sure you can’t stay in Jiangcheng.”
[What? Is this the same Doctor Zhao I know? Why does he look like this? Doesn’t he earn money by the second? Why does he have time for livestreams? Could it be he really has some unspeakable problem?]
[He looks aggressive—definitely not here with good intentions. Go streamer! Even if he’s a doctor, I support you.]
[What ‘divine doctor’? He has some skills, sure, but he just works for whoever pays more. People like us who follow proper hospital procedures have been scolded by him countless times. Good thing we’ve already been discharged—his temper is terrible.]
“What do you want from me?”
Zhao Huai glared at her, as if wanting to devour her. “You ruined my plans. Now the Liu family has cut off cooperation with our hospital. Compensate me! I’ll expose you as a fraud in front of everyone.”
[What’s going on? From what he’s saying, Old Master Liu’s recovery wasn’t due to him. Yet the hospital made such bold announcements—were they trying to deceive the public?]
“Oh? I’m all ears.”
Gu Yunxi had already seen through him just by his face. Since he wanted trouble, she wouldn’t mind giving him what he asked for.
“Everyone, don’t believe this woman. She’s a fake fortune teller—a scammer. I don’t know what tricks she used to temporarily improve Old Master Liu’s condition, but she’s nothing but a fraud who deceives people for money.
Under my treatment, his condition had already improved somewhat. Full recovery requires long-term rehabilitation. But she came in with absurd excuses and fooled everyone—”
[Doctor Zhao has a point. When you’re sick, you should see a doctor. Believing in superstition is just psychological comfort—it doesn’t really help with treatment.]
[Smiling Yingying: My grandfather recovered thanks to Master Gu. Don’t be misled by him. If anyone is a fraud, it’s him. Our Liu family spent over ten million, only to find out he used malicious acupuncture to drain my grandfather’s lifespan just to make him appear better and continue scamming money.]
[Smiling Yingying: I promise again—if anyone in the Liu family gets sick, we will never seek out such a quack doctor.]
Seeing that comment, Zhao Huai was furious. He wanted to twist the truth, but Gu Yunxi spoke first.
“Everyone saw that, right? This is the doctor you pay high prices to see when you’re sick. Since he came to me, I’ll do a reading for him.
Divine Doctor Zhao, since we’ve crossed paths, tell me what you want to know. If you don’t, then don’t waste resources.”
“Oh? Since you’re such a ‘powerful’ fraud, why don’t you calculate when you’ll die?”
“Whether I die or not isn’t important. What’s important is—you don’t have long to live.”
[What’s happening? Are they really confronting each other now?]
[Eat Grapes Without Spitting Skins: Go streamer! We support you—expose Doctor Zhao’s true face!]
[Kids, go study for your exams instead of watching this.]
“Is that so?” Zhao Huai forced a smile. “Then calculate it. If you’re wrong, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
Perhaps angered, his face turned dark red, veins bulging on his forehead, looking as if he could devour someone.
“Then listen carefully—I’m about to begin.”
