The head of the Gu family was silent for a while. He let out a soft sigh and called the butler in.
"Go and call Gu Siheng back."
With his permission, a smile curved on Jiang Shang's lips.
Half an hour later, the man came in a hurry, covered in the dust of his journey. Seeing the woman, he didn't seem surprised at all to find her here.
Everything went smoothly after that. After the engagement was settled, before they left, the head of the Gu family said a few words to Gu Siheng.
"Siheng, move back to the old mansion tomorrow. You and Shangshang will live there from now on anyway."
Everyone present understood what this meant, and their faces changed drastically.
The looks they gave Gu Siheng shifted from indifference to a sense of facing a formidable enemy.
Gu Siheng escorted Jiang Shang out of the old mansion. When they reached the car, he asked, "Shall I give you a ride?"
Of course, Jiang Shang wasn't going to be polite with him.
Seeing her get into the back seat, Gu Siheng raised an eyebrow.
"Do you take me for a chauffeur?"
"I've agreed to such a big request from you. Are you feeling wronged just by being a chauffeur for once?"
Jiang Shang didn't care whether he was the heir of the Gu family or not. She always wanted to gain some benefits.
Gu Siheng hooked his lips and swallowed his temper.
He got in the car, started the engine, and watched the woman pretending to sleep through the rear - view mirror.
"Thank you for helping me return to the Gu family."
Jiang Shang leaned lazily against the car window. "Is Young Master Gu's thank - you so light?"
The car was silent. Just when she thought the man wouldn't respond, a black card suddenly appeared on her thigh.
Jiang Shang thought for a moment and gladly accepted it. She really needed money for many things.
Since she had taken the man's money, Jiang Shang immediately promised, "If there's any act to perform later, just let me know in advance."
The car stopped steadily in front of Jiang Shang's small rental house. Gu Siheng watched her walk up the stairs, his eyes getting darker and darker.
When asking someone for help, one must pay a price. Although he didn't know what this woman wanted most for now, money was always a universal solution.
She just happened to fall into his trap, and what he lacked the least was money.
Jiang Shang returned to her shabby rental house, took a shower, and came out to find her phone vibrating non - stop.
She picked it up and saw that after not checking for a few days, the back - end of the account where the original owner used to share her daily life was full of 99+ notifications. She counted on her fingers and found that she had gained a full five - digit number of followers.
The speed of online dissemination stunned her.
Jiang Shang was quick - witted and immediately spotted a business opportunity.
She already had popularity. Would it be feasible to earn some extra living expenses by going live and riding on this wave of popularity?
Without hesitation, Jiang Shang searched for some teaching videos, learned a bit on the surface, and then turned on the camera.
The theme of the live stream was simple: 3,000 yuan for a fortune - telling session. If it didn't work, no charge.
The popularity from her previous live stream hadn't faded yet. When the onlookers saw her go live, they all flocked in to join the fun. The number of viewers instantly rose to nearly 500.
[Hey, Shangshang's live - stream style is so different from before!]
[Shangshang looks so beautiful without makeup! Kisses! Poor baby, you've been wronged.]
[Isn't this the young lady of the Jiang family who caused a ruckus the other day?]
As soon as this was said, the mood of the bullet - screen comments instantly changed.
[It's you who framed Jiaojiao! You vicious woman!]
[Jiaojiao is such a kind - hearted girl. She was just instigated by you and that scumbag and framed by you!]
Jiang Shang calmly sipped her iced milk tea and silently watched as this young lady, who was passionately speaking out, manipulated the public opinion in the live - stream room.
This young lady, in her indignation, immediately shared the live - stream room in the group of young masters and ladies. Jiang Shang had already spotted several familiar IDs of young ladies.
The public opinion grew stronger and stronger, but no one cared about the fortune - telling.
Seeing that the popularity was about right, Jiang Shang finally spoke up, "This live - stream room is only for fortune - telling. No other topics."
It was still that young lady who had been scolding her the most fiercely. She rushed to the front and said, "You villain. You're just too ashamed to mention it! You still want to make a living from the internet. Disgusting!"
Jiang Shang ignored her and leisurely wrote talismans. A gift special effect popped up on the screen, but she just glanced at it and remained unmoved.
"Giving gifts won't work. This live - stream room is only for fortune - telling."
Seeing that she was impervious to their attacks, the onlookers wanted to leave. Finally, that young lady got anxious and started to set a trap for her.
"Can your lousy fortune - telling predict everything? If you can, can you tell us what happened the other day?"
On the connected video, a fair - skinned and beautiful young lady appeared, with a luxurious outdoor swimming pool in the background.
Jiang Shang recognized her. She was the young lady of the Li family and a good friend of Jiang Jiaojiao.
It seemed that she had come to avenge Jiang Jiaojiao.
Jiang Shang glanced at her facial features and said, "After the fortune - telling, I can satisfy your curiosity. If you still have the mood to listen by then."
The young lady of the Li family snorted, thinking that she was just scaring her. "Since that's the case, then tell me what gift my husband will give my father on his birthday this year!"
Jiang Shang calculated with her small hands and said firmly, "No gift."
Hearing this, both the bullet - screen comments and the young lady of the Li family burst into laughter.
[It's more likely that Mrs. Jiang will kick you out of the house than her husband not giving a gift!]
[You could have said something more reasonable instead of just saying 'no gift'. Stop trying to make money in such a lousy way, okay?]
[Hahahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. I hereby declare that she's my new online pet!]
Everyone in Yuncheng knew that the young lady of the Li family had married a real - estate tycoon. After marriage, he had doted on her to the extreme, giving her mountains of gold and silver every year. He was a real wife - spoiling maniac.
Jiang Shang calmly explained, "You misjudged the person. You married a scumbag. This scumbag has been transferring his property this year. Soon, he will bring his mistress and ask you for a divorce. So the answer is, no gift."
The young lady of the Li family lay on the edge of the swimming pool, laughing until tears came out. "Jiang Shang, no wonder Jiaojiao looks down on you. Your money - hungry and rumor - spreading face is really disgusting!"
Jiang Shang shook her head helplessly. She had already given a warning, so she couldn't be blamed for not persuading further.
The young lady of the Li family had been doted on for so many years and simply wouldn't believe her words. Just as she was about to ask about the gossip, suddenly, the doorbell rang.
"Dear, I'm back. I have something big to tell you!"
The young lady of the Li family happily went to open the door, only to see her husband walking in with his arm around the waist of the beautiful neighbor lady. Her face instantly changed.
Everyone in the live - stream room saw her shocked expression. The next second, they heard intense arguing.
"Let's get a divorce. The one I love most is Xiaomei!"
The young lady of the Li family was completely stunned. Xiaomei had moved into the villa upstairs a year ago. She often invited her to dinner at home and helped solve the problem of her child's schooling. She had treated her like a real sister.
She never expected that she had invited a wolf into the house, and this woman had climbed into her husband's bed!
Her husband gently protected the mistress behind him and seriously and coldly gave her an ultimatum. "I don't want to waste my breath on you. Xiaomei is my first love. If it weren't for the shares in your hands, I wouldn't have let her be wronged!
I've already transferred the property. If you don't want your parents to end up on the streets, then agree to the divorce!"
The young lady of the Li family was so angry that her chest heaved. "I've given birth to two children for you. Is this how you treat me?!"
Xiaomei fearfully hid in the man's arms and pointed at her nose, saying, "Husband, she's so fierce. I'm scared~"
The young lady of the Li family had never suffered such humiliation in her life. She felt her face burning with shame. She didn't care about the gossip at all and rushed up to fight with the mistress.
"You pretentious bitch! I'll teach you a lesson!"
