Jiang Shang was taken aback for a moment. She quickly scanned the invitation in her hand. The engagement banquet was scheduled for two weeks later.
The man stared at her quietly, a teasing smile playing on his lips, as if mocking her reaction just now.
Jiang Shang closed the invitation, met his gaze, and said defiantly, "Fiancé, do you need me to help you pick a suit?"
Just as Jiang Shang was expecting the same reaction from him as hers, she heard the man readily accept.
"Of course I do."
Jiang Shang choked. Then, as if thinking of something, she suddenly smiled. "If I pick a green one for you, you won't let my kindness go to waste, right?"
Gu Siheng raised an eyebrow. "If this is the fun between fiancés, I can accept it."
Jiang Shang was completely speechless. She turned her head to show her refusal to communicate, but her ears quietly turned red.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Brother Haozi, a lifelong single man, only felt his ears were polluted.
The two didn't speak anymore. Jiang Shang observed him from the corner of her eye. The man had his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep.
Jiang Shang played with her phone. She casually opened an app, but it jumped to the news.
The news of her engagement to Gu Siheng had swept across all media platforms.
The Gu family had acted even faster than she had imagined.
During these days of her live - streaming, many young masters and ladies with ulterior motives had tried to ingratiate themselves with her, and she had taken the opportunity to join several of their groups.
At this moment, the group chat messages had piled up like a mountain, and the upper - class society was in an uproar.
[Damn it, the Jiang family is a small family with neither money nor influence. Why is the Gu family marrying into it?]
[Same here. I'm totally confused. And they're marrying Jiang Shang, the one who's been doing fortune - telling live - streams recently. A web celebrity can actually marry into a wealthy family...]
[Hey, what are you guys above so worked up about? The Gu family's marriage partner is Gu Siheng, the outcast. Although he's from the Gu family, have you ever seen the Gu family acknowledge him?]
[I heard that the Gu family secretly held a husband - selecting banquet for her a few days ago. What on earth is this Jiang Shang's background?]
[So what? They've chosen an outcast after all this selection. How short - sighted.]
The big group was having a heated discussion. Thousands of voices were chattering, but they couldn't reach a conclusion. Suddenly, the topic changed.
[Sisters, Jiang Shang was just dumped by that playboy Pei Shangze, and then she turned around and married into the Gu family. Don't you find it quite intriguing?]
[Jiang Jiaojiao wanted to kill her to marry into the Gu family, but in the end, she herself got in. It's pure revenge!]
[But why is the Gu family so cooperative with her? Do they really have to marry into the Jiang family? Neither Jiang Jiaojiao nor Jiang Shang is really qualified to be a daughter - in - law of the Gu family.]
[Maybe there's some dirty secret.]
[+1. This Jiang Shang is quite accurate in her fortune - telling during the live - stream. Could she have some special abilities?]
[I wonder if Pei Shangze and Jiang Jiaojiao regret provoking her now?]
The people in the group were all well - known and wealthy young masters and ladies. Naturally, they weren't afraid of each other. Moreover, the Pei and Jiang families weren't really powerful families. They all directly @ these two people and asked for their opinions.
Jiang Shang watched this farce secretly and couldn't help laughing cheerfully.
Woken up by the woman's clear laughter, Gu Siheng slowly opened his eyes.
Jiang Shang was so engrossed in watching that suddenly a furry head landed on her right shoulder.
Everything in the group chat came into his sight.
Jiang Shang suddenly felt a strange sense of embarrassment. Just as she wanted to exit the interface, the man pressed the voice - recording button on her phone.
"Whoever can get these two people to share their thoughts will be handsomely rewarded by me and my fiancée."
"??"
Gu Siheng sat up straight. There was no trace of the laziness from just waking up on him. It was as if the person just now wasn't him.
Because of this voice message, the big group boiled over to a new level.
It took Jiang Shang a while to finally suspect this novel and unlikely possibility.
Was he... avenging her?
Two days later, Jiang Shang opened her live - stream as usual. Since the news of her engagement had spread throughout Yuncheng and many people were waiting for the follow - up of the Lin family's incident, the number of people in the live - stream room was three or four times that of a few days ago.
As soon as the live - stream started, business came. An old granny had been waiting in the live - stream room for three days and finally got the chance to have a video call.
"Master, can you help me figure out if my daughter has gone to the underworld?"
Jiang Shang recognized her at a glance. She was the grandmother of the woman in the recent hot news, whose daughter was driven to death by a scumbag who had taken all of the old woman's money.
The woman had been so angry that she died, leaving only her octogenarian grandmother in the world.
The old granny was really pitiful. Jiang Shang felt a bit sorry for her. She calculated with her fingers, her expression solemn, but she still told the truth.
"Her resentment is too deep, and she has become a vengeful ghost. If she can't let go of her obsession and go to the underworld on the day of her return, she will become a wandering ghost."
Tears welled up in the old granny's eyes instantly. Many people in the live - stream room empathized with her.
Strangely enough, the old granny didn't ask any more questions. She just quickly hung up the video call.
However, even the appearance of a news figure couldn't stop the dirty remarks in the bullet comments.
[Why is there no follow - up to the Lin family's incident?]
[It must be that "Master Jiang" hired someone to act, right?]
["Master Jiang", why don't you spend a bit more money to let the Lin family finish this show with you? Hahaha.]
The spread of the engagement news inevitably made some people jealous. Many people made an issue of her fortune - telling for the Lin family. Even though she had explained that the Lin family's matter had been perfectly resolved, there were still people in the bullet comments attacking her for being a fraud.
Jiang Shang felt a bit exhausted. She didn't expect that, despite being so careful, she had forgotten to ask the Lin family for a five - star review.
Just then, ten cool golden dragons suddenly rushed out on the screen, filling the entire big screen. The whole live - stream room erupted into a frenzy.
All kinds of cool gift special effects lasted for five minutes. When Jiang Shang couldn't even count how much money it was, the big spender suddenly applied for a video call.
The video call screen opened. Lin Duoduo was bowing his head, concentrating on doing a jigsaw puzzle.
Mrs. Lin was smiling gently at her and told him to say hello to Jiang Shang.
Lin Duoduo greeted her fluently in English. His sweet voice made all the black fans speechless.
"Sister, I've already completed two jigsaw puzzles. When I finish this one, I can send you another five golden dragons!"
His words were innocent and naive. It seemed the same as before, but there were also some subtle changes.
The stupid kid who used to chew on toys a few days ago could now do jigsaw puzzles and learn English. He was taking one step at a time towards the twenties that should have belonged to him.
Jiang Shang felt a bit gratified. "Duoduo, sister knows you're very good, but don't spend so much money."
Lin Zheng suddenly rushed into the camera. He stroked Duoduo's head and said boldly, "Spend as much as you like on sister. Don't save money for Dad."
More gift special effects flew out. The bullet comment area exploded. Seeing the Lin family openly supporting her, the black fans were even more speechless.
[It's fake. Aren't the Jiang and Lin families on good terms? This must be an act!]
[Right. You didn't actually see her treat Lin Duoduo with your own eyes. It's so easy to hire an actor to act.]
The black fans were chattering away. Suddenly, those young masters and ladies who usually peeked at the live - stream became an anti - black team.
[I can prove it. I live next to the Lin family. She really did go there for fortune - telling.]
[My younger brother said that Lin Duoduo has changed a lot in the past few days. He doesn't even play with him anymore because Lin Duoduo said he wants to study hard and get into a prestigious university... The stupid kid before could never have said such things. My younger brother was really shocked.]
[Jiang Shang doesn't live in the Jiang family now, which means even her own mother doesn't want her. Why do you think the Jiang family is supporting her?]
Mrs. Lin peeked at the bullet comment area and added fuel to the fire.
"Master Jiang, the English tutor said that his progress in the past few days is equivalent to several years before."
"Duoduo is really great. Sister will come to play with you next time when I'm free."
More gift special effects came out on the screen. Jiang Shang, who had already received a high salary of five million, felt a bit embarrassed. She quickly said she had something to do and stopped the Lin family's generous behavior.
The video call ended. Seeing that the trend of the bullet comments had improved, Jiang Shang secretly let out a big sigh of relief.
So close. She almost couldn't make money in the future.
As for the full - screen speculation about her marriage to the Gu family, she simply didn't care. Everyone has a curious mind. They were just excited for a moment.
Moreover, she was marrying Gu Siheng, the outcast, which didn't threaten the interests of these young ladies.
Jiang Shang ignored the public opinion and calmly continued to select people for fortune - telling.
Suddenly, a new request for fortune - telling popped up in the bullet comments:
"Streamer, I want to figure out where my wife is. Can you help me?"
The speaker was the big spender who had simply sent a Ferris wheel on the first day of the live - stream.
The bullet comments were distracted by this person. Jiang Shang remembered that she still owed this big spender a fortune - telling. So she casually accepted his video call request.
When a stunningly handsome face appeared on the video call screen, Jiang Shang fell silent, while the bullet comments boiled over.
Gu Siheng just smiled, as if he couldn't see the cheering onlookers. "Streamer, my wife hasn't been home for several days. Can you help me find my wife?"
