Before she had even settled into her seat, Third Brother returned and began setting up livestream equipment in her room.
“By the way, little sister, since you like livestreaming, I’ll come support you. I wonder what kind of talent you’ll be showcasing.”
“Fortune-telling!”
“Fortune-telling?”
Gu Yunlang paused what he was doing, walked over quickly, and touched her forehead. “You don’t have a fever. Why are you talking nonsense so early in the morning?”
From what he heard yesterday, she seemed to have connected with Fifth Brother. Could it be she really wanted to tell fortunes?
Those street fortune tellers were all frauds—who would believe them?
Was there even an audience for this kind of content? With her pretty face, wouldn’t it be better to be a beauty streamer?
“My dear sister, how about we switch to another path?”
“What, Third Brother doesn’t believe me?”
“No, as long as you like it. I’ll support you unconditionally. If no one shows up, I’ll be your strongest backing.”
【As expected of Third Brother, the ultimate sis-con. It’s just a pity that among all the brothers, he’s the most useless. But now that I’m here, I’ll definitely change his fate. After all, he’s my Third Brother.】
Heh. “Useless,” huh? If he couldn’t hear his sister’s inner thoughts for a day, he’d actually start to miss it.
After setting up the equipment, Gu Yunlang tidied up and left. Gu Yunxi tested it.
The equipment was really good—it must have cost quite a bit. She closed the door and prepared to go live.
“So, both you and Lao Wu and Lao San can hear Yunxi’s inner thoughts?”
“That’s too unbelievable!”
Liu Zheng took a sip of tea. “Don’t tell anyone about this—especially your father and Gu Yan.”
Gu Yunzhou looked confused. “Why?”
“I have a feeling those two can’t hear Yunxi’s thoughts.”
Otherwise, with what she was thinking yesterday, would she still be staying peacefully at home?
Yesterday, Gu Feng had rushed out, and the private investigator she hired hadn’t reported back yet.
From what happened last night, it was very likely that everything Yunxi thought was true.
“Alright! Since Mom said so, we brothers will definitely listen.”
Could it be that Mom had started suspecting Dad? Last time on Orange Street, he thought he saw someone who looked like his father, intimately holding a woman’s arm.
But in a blink, they disappeared.
“By the way, Yunxi hasn’t received your welcome gift yet. She likes money—transfer her two or three million. And keep the inner thoughts a secret.”
“Got it, Mom!”
Inside the room.
Gu Yunxi stared blankly at the interface. Someone tell her—last time she had over a dozen viewers. Now? Not even one. Where did the five people who followed her go?
Where was the courtesy?
Couldn’t they at least comfort a new streamer? Sitting alone in front of the camera was so boring.
“Alipay has received 5,000,000 yuan.”
【Hiss! Is this streamer showing off wealth? Right after entering, it’s already this intense. Early in the morning and I’m already confused.】
【Haha! There are only two of us in this livestream—so miserable. That notification sound, could it be fake?】
Gu Yunxi opened Alipay and checked her balance. She almost wanted to count the money with her fingers. The sender was actually Eldest Brother.
How strange! Didn’t he have hostility toward her earlier? Why suddenly send money? A sudden change of heart?
They had only met once, and he gave five million. Tsk tsk—making money didn’t seem important anymore.
Accumulating merit was what mattered.
Who said she was pitiful? Her thoughts of leaving the Gu family slowed down again.
In a place where every inch of land was expensive, going out meant spending like water. Staying in the Gu family made earning money much easier.
【Doesn’t seem fake. Look at her money-loving expression—I’m kind of envious.】
【Confirmed—this isn’t a fortune-telling livestream, it’s a flaunting-wealth stream. With that much money, who needs fortune-telling?】
“Ahem.” Gu Yunxi awkwardly set her phone aside and looked at the two viewers.
“Hello, everyone!”
She even felt embarrassed to speak—there were only two people watching. What was she supposed to say?
Suddenly, the number of viewers began increasing at a visible speed.
“What’s going on?”
With no livestream experience, she was shocked.
【Eating Grapes Without Spitting Skins: Damn, did some big shot push traffic here? Why are there suddenly hundreds of people?!】
【It’s Your Bai: Yes~】
Why was Fifth Brother here? Didn’t he say he had filming today? Yet he came to join the fun.
【That username looks familiar—isn’t that the person who connected for fortune-telling yesterday? Why are they back?】
“It’s Your Bai sent 99 ‘Palm Pearls.’”
【It’s Your Bai: Hello friends! Surprised to see me? I logged off in a hurry yesterday, but the fortune the streamer told actually came true. If I hadn’t believed her, I might not be here today—I’d probably have been kidnapped into some unknown dark room. So if anyone wants a reading, go to the streamer quickly!】
【Oh, so it’s a shill. No wonder. Who still believes this stuff nowadays?】
“There’s a saying: better to believe it exists than not. This friend’s fortune has already come true, and his future will surely be smooth. He’s not my shill, so please don’t stir things up.”
“If anyone wants a reading… just send one ‘Palm Pearl.’”
Gu Yunxi was confident. Although it was only a small amount now, she would definitely earn more in the future.
There was no need to artificially attract traffic. Meeting was fate—what was destined could not be wrong.
【Eating Grapes Without Spitting Skins: I think I was the first to follow yesterday. I’ll go first—just to prove I’m not a shill.】
“Eating Grapes Without Spitting Skins sent 1 ‘Palm Pearl.’”
Gu Yunxi looked at the comments. “Alright, what would you like to ask? You can request a connection or type your question in the chat.”
“I’ll connect.”
The call connected. A pretty girl appeared on the screen, with a ponytail and big eyes, around eighteen or nineteen, holding a book to her chest.
She looked curiously at the camera.
【Grapes is quite pretty. Without filters, she’d be a real beauty.】
【Hey little beauty, how old are you? Got a boyfriend? I’m single!】
“Hello, streamer. I’m a senior in high school, about to fill out my university applications. Can you help me decide which university to choose? One is Rongcheng Normal University, and the other is our local Jiangcheng Normal University.
My parents want me to stay close to home. I want to go to Rongcheng. I’ve been so stressed these past days that my hair is falling out. I disagree with my parents and don’t know what to choose. Please guide me.”
Gu Yunxi smiled—a breathtaking smile.
“You already have the answer in your heart, don’t you? Follow your heart, and you’ll get what you want.”
Grapes nodded happily, showing two little fangs. “Thank you, streamer. I won’t take up more resources.”
She hung up.
【That’s it? Charging 88 for this? Only a fool would fall for it!】
【Still saying it’s not a shill? Obviously planned in advance—no real skill.】
“No, you don’t understand. This is the mystery of metaphysics. Follow the streamer, and you’ll understand in the future.”
“The next person who wants a reading can request a connection now.”
