Thanks to ZhenZhen's live stream, my account on a certain platform gained tens of thousands of new fans that day. The backstage messages were overflowing with people asking me to read Feng Shui for them.

I delivered on my promise, posting screenshots of the chat logs between Xu Guoli and me on the platform. The incident was compiled by marketing accounts, and even made it to the top three hot search rankings, attracting a large number of onlookers.

ZhenZhen's short video account was flooded, her live stream room permanently banned, and she completely disappeared from our lives.

The self-media that spread rumors recklessly in the first place was also cursed by enthusiastic netizens and stopped updating indefinitely.

Many girls trapped in dysfunctional families could empathize, especially regarding the incident of helping a younger brother buy a house. It seemed like everyone had a similar experience, and understood my story, which led them to bravely learn to say "no."

As I scrolled through my phone, reading the comments where everyone shared their experiences and cheered each other on, I suddenly felt that being falsely accused wasn't so bad after all.

A call came in from an unknown number. Without thinking, I answered it. It was my mom's voice: "Xiao Nan, it's been so long since you came home. Are you really planning to never see us again?".

I remained silent. My mom continued, "Everything is in the past. Can you forgive me and your dad? Xiao Bei has broken up with ZhenZhen and can't find a job. He just asks us for money every day, then goes out who knows where. Can't you come back and take care of him? Xiao Bei was brought up by you."

"Song Xiao Bei's life is his own responsibility, and has nothing to do with me," I replied calmly.

"Then... what about us? Are you really going to ignore us from now on? Is the mother-daughter relationship of so many years going to end like this?" My mom said pitifully.

"The bond between us was broken a long time ago, on the day you favored one of my siblings and finally sold me to Xu Guoli in exchange for the dowry," I said coldly.

My mom wanted to say something more, but at that moment, another call came in and I cut her off.

"Hello, Master Song, it's Lin Youcai. Are you busy lately? I have a friend who just spent a hundred million buying a mansion, but he has been having nightmares every day since moving in. He wants to entrust you to go and help out these days."

Glancing at my schedule, I hesitated, "My schedule is full this month. Can we do it next month?"

"...Alright, I'll let him know. Please make sure to free up some time!" Lin Youcai said before hanging up.

"Ah, so tired." I stretched my shoulders. At this moment, I was sitting in the first-class lounge of the airport, about to board the plane. I was going to see my master in Hong Kong.

My master said he already knew about the recent events in my life. He said these were the trials I must go through on my life's journey. Once I overcome these obstacles, my future path will become smoother and smoother.

I believed him.
