Gu Siheng raised his eyebrows slightly and didn't provoke trouble on his own initiative.
As soon as the car came to a steady stop in front of the Gu family mansion, the main gate swung open.
Jiang Shang got out of the car. The head of the Gu family had already come out with a group of younger generations to greet her.
Such a grand reception made Jiang Shang feel a bit overwhelmed.
The servants of the Gu family were sharp - eyed. The fact that the head of the Gu family came out to greet her personally was enough to show Jiang Shang's status, so they rushed to carry her luggage.
"Hello, Grandpa."
The head of the Gu family was beaming with a sincere smile, looking like an amiable old man.
"Shangshang, I'll show you the wedding room for you and Siheng."
Just as Jiang Shang was being affectionately led upstairs by the old man, a young woman standing at the back was ignored throughout. She murmured discontentedly under her breath, "What's so great about this sister - in - law? She can just do some fortune - telling. There's nothing special about her."
The room was spacious and bright, with a bathroom and a small living room attached. The lighting and ventilation were top - notch, which showed the head of the Gu family's meticulousness.
"You and Siheng can rest first. Leave the luggage to the servants."
Jiang Shang nodded repeatedly as if she had been granted amnesty. The enthusiastic reception from the head of the Gu family and the younger generations was almost too much for her to handle.
After exiting the room, the old butler followed the head of the Gu family and said slowly, "Sir, we've been closely monitoring Jiang Shang's actions these days—"
Before the old butler could finish, the head of the Gu family interrupted him. "I've seen it all."
"Good. We've chosen the right person."
The old butler was puzzled by his affirmation. "But sir, didn't you calculate that her fate doesn't match that of the son of fortune at all? How can you be so sure just based on a few live - stream fortune - telling sessions?"
The head of the Gu family had initially determined that she was the son of fortune because of the live - stream that exposed the Jiang mother and daughter. The old butler just couldn't figure it out.
This was the son of fortune who was crucial to the fate of the Gu family. It seemed too hasty to make such a decision!
The head of the Gu family shook his head, his smile full of meaning.
"Jiang Shang's fate is somewhat similar to that of the son of fortune. The master once said that there's a mystery behind her fate, which is far from being as simple as it seems on the surface."
"Moreover, her strength is immeasurable. She can bring great help to the Gu family."
"What about Gu Siheng? What should we do now?"
The head of the Gu family patted his shoulder to calm him down. "I have my own plan."
The old butler had been with him for decades and immediately understood his attitude.
Inside the room.
Jiang Shang and Gu Siheng stared at each other. After a while, the man suddenly spoke.
"Come on. I'll show you where you'll live from now on."
The man said "where you'll live" instead of "home".
The Gu family mansion was located in the most upscale villa community in the city center, occupying half of a hill.
The head of the Gu family adhered to the rule that the elderly should stay together in the family. Even though the Gu family members had numerous properties outside, all direct descendants of the Gu family had to live here regularly.
Jiang Shang followed him around the mansion. At this time, the sun was setting, and the distant green mountains were gilded with a layer of gold.
"Meow~"
It was quiet all around. Suddenly, a meow sounded. Jiang Shang turned her head and saw a dirty white cat walking out of the grass, looking at her timidly.
Jiang Shang asked a maid for some food and squatted down to lure the cat over.
The white cat hesitated for a while but finally couldn't resist the temptation of the food and walked towards Jiang Shang.
Jiang Shang stroked its soft fur. In the setting sun, the cat's fur was dyed golden, which made her think of the orange cat in Gu Siheng's avatar.
She looked up and asked him, "Where's the orange cat in your avatar?"
The man seemed to recall some unpleasant memories, and his eyes suddenly darkened.
The man pointed his long finger under a big tree in the backyard. His back was cold and aloof. "It's here."
The orange cat buried under the tree was a mark of his gloomy memories.
Jiang Shang was stunned. She didn't expect to touch his sore spot.
"People are reincarnated, and so are animals. It must have been reincarnated into another body and is waiting for you here. Maybe this cat in front of us is it."
Jiang Shang rubbed the white cat's face. Her comforting words were like a gentle breeze, and against the backdrop of the sunset, she looked like a goddess saving all sentient beings.
Gu Siheng was stunned. He didn't expect her to say that.
His thin lips moved slightly as if he wanted to say something, but suddenly his phone in his pocket rang.
Hearing that there was another problem with the company, the man frowned tightly. When he wanted to excuse himself from Jiang Shang, he caught a glimpse of the old butler monitoring them not far away.
It seemed that the head of the Gu family really cherished his fiancée.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through Gu Siheng's mind. He walked towards the woman, bent down to stroke the white cat, and their hands touched.
"Are you interested in taking a look at the feng shui of my company?"
Jiang Shang was still holding a grudge against yesterday's live - stream and was about to decline when the jade pendant around her neck suddenly glowed again.
The warmth from the spiritual jade made her heart tremble.
Was the jade pendant... giving her a sign?
Jiang Shang thought for a while. Maybe there was a cause - and - effect relationship she wanted to know about in Gu Siheng's company.
"Take me there."
Gu Siheng also noticed the strange reaction of the jade pendant around her neck and didn't say anything more.
In the distance, the butler watched the two walking away side by side and quickly reported their whereabouts to the head of the Gu family.
Jiang Shang followed Gu Siheng to his Misi Music Company.
As soon as they walked in, the receptionist, a girl who was always up - to - date on the latest news, recognized her at a glance.
"Hello, boss's wife! Welcome the boss's wife to inspect the company!"
Jiang Shang got goosebumps all over her body, not just because of the girl's sweet talk.
The company's back faced the sun, and its periphery faced a dead - end alley. From the moment she entered, she keenly felt a gloomy chill.
"The location of your company is wrong."
Moreover, there were several ugly zombies crawling on the walls of the company, greedily sucking the company's fortune and energy. Sensing Jiang Shang's strong righteousness, they all bared their teeth and tried to scare her away.
Seeing Jiang Shang frown, Gu Siheng immediately understood and prompted her to continue.
"What's wrong?"
"How much money has your company lost?" Jiang Shang didn't answer him but asked instead.
Gu Siheng roughly calculated. "About 50 to 60 million."
Some of the losses were accidental, while some were intentional.
That was why the Gu family spared this company when they took back his other properties.
Jiang Shang calculated that if she had discovered and solved the problem earlier, she could have earned 20 to 30 million...
20 to 30 million!
Jiang Shang, who was a money - lover, felt heart - broken, but she still pretended to be calm and quickly calculated with her fingers.
"Was this the original location, or did you move here recently?"
Gu Siheng led her to his office and poured her a cup of tea. "We moved here half a year ago."
Jiang Shang frowned even more tightly. She had a strange feeling as if a good woman had married the wrong man.
Noticing her expression, Gu Siheng tried to make up for it. "It's just a little loss. I can still afford to support you."
Jiang Shang ignored his words and shook her head firmly. "In half a month, this company will face a big disaster. At best, it will change ownership; at worst, it will go bankrupt and the disaster will affect you."
Suddenly, Jiang Shang seemed to sense something and pointed to the office door.
"There's a ghost there."
Just as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door. A beautiful long - haired female celebrity was standing outside.
Looking from inside to outside, the woman was always on tiptoe, which was extremely strange.
