Chapter 45

In the beautiful aquarium, the ornamental fish, which looked quite valuable, were leisurely swaying their tails, looking absolutely gorgeous.

But no matter how beautiful it is, it can't hide the fact that this thing is just an aquarium, and inside it are just a few pretty ornamental fish. So, what does this thing have to do with Xu Gui's "job"?

"I get it! This is feng shui arrangement, right?" The photographer had an expression that said, "I already know." "Teacher Xu, you must be setting up a feng shui arrangement to attract wealth, so that customers will keep coming to you for fortune telling, right?"

Upon hearing this, the fans in the live stream suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's how it is! Xu Guizhen is actually in the atmosphere this time!"

The object believed to be located in the atmosphere: ?

"No, that's not it." She glanced at the paparazzi who had suddenly become so enthusiastic for no apparent reason, and said, "These things are just because I have a collaboration with [Wonderful Fish Aquatic Pets]."

Follow-up photographer: "Cooperation?"

Xu Gui nodded, his expression full of pride, and said, "The boss of [Miaoyu] has a great eye. He thinks I'm a perfect fit for their product, so he signed a contract with me. From now on, I'll be their [Miaoyu] spokesperson!"

The photographer glanced at the beautiful aquarium, then at the proud, sycophantic expression on the face, and hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back—to be honest, in all his years in the industry and having photographed so many celebrities, this was the first time he had ever seen a celebrity endorse an aquatic pet.

Xu Gui was unaware of the subtle hints in the eyes of the paparazzi. It was her first time getting an endorsement job, and she was very enthusiastic at the moment.

【Miaoyu】In addition to selling various aquatic pets, they also sell related food. The staff just came over and gave us quite a lot.

Xu Gui glanced through the product introduction and various ornamental fish care manuals. Ten minutes later, she closed the manuals.

She felt that she had become a very qualified aquatic pet keeper, and she had memorized everything in the manual.

Xu Gui now feels incredibly strong.

She leaned closer to the aquarium and gently tapped the side of the tank with her finger: "Shouldn't we feed the fish some food?"

Sensing her movement, several ornamental fish swimming in the tank swam over and brought their mouths close to Xu Gui's fingertips, as if they were kissing her fingers.

As Xu Gui moved her finger, several fish swam along with it, as if chasing her finger.

Xu Gui looked at it and became interested, so she simply drew a pattern on the wall of the water tank. If someone looked closely, they would find that she had drawn a turtle.

However, from an observer's perspective, this scene is quite beautiful.

The fish in the aquarium is a type of Siamese fighting fish, also known as the wedding veil fish. Its tails flutter gracefully with various colors, dazzling and colorful, just like a flowing wedding veil. As the fish swim, the "wedding veil" floats and unfolds, which is quite beautiful.

At this moment, the fish chasing Xu Gui's finger moved as if they were dancing, and the "wedding dress" behind them was even more dazzling and beautiful, catching everyone's eye. When it reflected Xu Gui's fair and serene face, one could only think of the words "beautiful" and "mysterious".

Bullet comments:

Wow, what kind of fish is this? It's so beautiful! Its tail looks like a big skirt.

[So beautiful! Is this fish really dancing? The rhythm is perfect! Imagine if this were at night, with all the lights in the tank, it would look like a fairytale!]

The fish are beautiful, and so are the people. This home would be perfect if I were just there!

If the fish sold by [Miaoyu] could dance along with a person's finger, then I'd definitely buy into this recommendation!

The employees of [Miaoyu] who saw this comment: ? ? ? No, this was purely Xu Gui's personal behavior!

"Wow! Sister, are you doing magic?" Suddenly, an exclamation rang out behind Xu Gui. Xu Gui turned around and found that several children had appeared behind her at some point, and they were looking at her with bright eyes.

The sweet-talking little girl asked, "Sister, why are these pretty fish following your finger? Are you a fairy? Like the magical fairy from Cinderella!"

"Sister, sister! Can you do that again? I want to see pretty fish dancing!"

"Sister, I can give you candy. This is the most, most, most delicious milk candy in the world. I can only eat three a day, but I'll give you all three!"

"elder sister……"

Several children surrounded Xu Gui, showering him with sweet words and looking at him with adoration and eagerness. Xu Gui was extremely pleased with their gaze.

"Ahem!" Xu Gui coughed a few times. Although his eyebrows and eyes were full of joy and cheers, he pretended to be calm and said in a pretentious manner, "Since you are so sincere, then I will grant your wish."

The children cheered immediately: "Wow, you're the best, sister!"

Netizens who saw this scene felt their hearts melt; how could this scene be so adorable?

This is just so adorable, it's so sweet and makes my heart flutter! I'm going to get way too much sugar in my body today!!

*

Several children spread out around Xu Gui and stood around the aquarium. Their chubby little paws gently touched the aquarium, and their eyes were fixed on the fish inside.

Xu Gui looked at them and said, "Watch closely~"

Her finger lightly touched the aquarium, and everyone's eyes were unconsciously drawn to her fingertip. It seemed as if her finger had magic power; after her fingertip touched the aquarium, the fish that had been scattered swayed their tails and came closer again.

The deep, mysterious light in the water, the swaying "skirts" of the betta fish, and the snow-white fingertip being chased by them... all of this looks dazzlingly mysterious and alluring.

The person filming this scene caught their breath, instinctively chose an angle, picked up the live-streaming camera next to them, and recorded the scene.

The lighting was perfect, the composition was perfect, the colors were perfect... Separated by glass and water, Xu Gui looked like a siren diving into the sea, exuding an inhuman allure and a breathtaking beauty that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.

This scene, witnessed by viewers in the live stream, caused countless people to lose control and start snapping screenshots.

It took a while for everyone to recover from the shock of her beauty, and the live stream chat erupted in cheers:

[Ahhh, I'm so sorry everyone, I'm guilty. My "mommy fan" persona has changed; I now consider myself a "wife fan." Wife, wife! Say it already!]

[Who understands? I used to think Xu Gui was just a bit fairer-skinned, had smaller pores, and more regular features, but her looks were actually quite average. But that scene just now, she really captivated me! I finally understand her beauty!]

[Are you even speaking human language? Just the fact that she has fair skin and well-proportioned features already puts her ahead of many people, right? How could you say she's average-looking?]

[Waaaaah, I used to be a total mom fan, but now, I can't call Xu Gui my daughter anymore. She's so beautiful! I want to be her wife fan!]

In that instant, countless of Xu Gui's "mommy fans" unfollowed her and became her "wife fans," calling her "wife" repeatedly, which was quite unexpected.

Of course, the mom fans also want to say: [Mom fans never admit defeat!] They, the mom fans, are Xu Gui's number one fans!

Now, Xu Gui is unaware that his fan base is experiencing "internal strife."

After demonstrating her "magic" to the children, she looked at them with a beaming smile and undisguised pride, slightly raising her chin as she asked, "How was that?"

Wow! You're amazing, sister!

The children were completely captivated by her "magic." They surrounded Xu Gui, tilting their heads back and chattering excitedly at her, looking at her as if she were some extraordinary person.

They said:

"Sister, you must be the Fairy Godmother! Yes, you must be!"

"Sister, can you climb walls like Spider-Man? When you see injustice, do you also want to fly over like Spider-Man and catch the bad guys?"

"I like you so much, sister. Will you be my fairy godmother?"

Xu Gui: ?

She glanced at the girl who had asked her to be her fairy godmother and wanted to say: "Your abacus beads are jumping all over my face."

The children asked curiously, "Sister, can I learn this?"

Xu Gui: "You can't learn this; it's my exclusive secret technique."

Or rather, it is the unique skill of the Black Tortoise. As an auspicious beast and a tyrant of the water, the Black Tortoise naturally has a certain perception and connection with aquatic creatures, so it can also control aquatic creatures to a certain extent.

Xu Gui's "magic" stems from this: she can control these aquatic creatures to a certain extent, and these creatures, in turn, will instinctively follow her, just as her subjects swarm around her, allowing her to command them.

Therefore, this is a skill unique to Xu Gui, which humans cannot master.

Hearing Xu Gui's words, the children were somewhat disappointed, but they quickly cheered up again.

"Do you know any other magic, sister?" they asked curiously.

Faced with their expectant eyes, Xu Gui couldn't bring herself to say no. After thinking for a moment, she said, "...Maybe?"

Hearing this, the children looked at them with even more admiration. Under their expectant gazes, Xu Gui's eyes fell on the turtle in the fish tank. It was a green-shelled grass turtle, about the size of a human hand, lying motionless on the bottom of the tank.

Xu Gui suddenly had a brilliant idea and said, "I can make this turtle obey me!"

Under the curious gazes of the children, she walked to her stall, sat down, pointed at the fish tank, and instructed, "Come on, little turtle, turn around for everyone to see."

The grass turtle, lying comfortably at the bottom of the fish tank, seems to be thinking: ? You're so high and mighty, using me as a prop for your "magic".

However, instinct made the little turtle obey Xu Gui's words, so under everyone's eyes, the little turtle in the fish tank stuck out its head and slowly turned around.

Wow! It really spun around!

An unfamiliar voice interrupted, and when Xu Gui looked up, she realized that there were several more people in front of her stall.

The other person looked at Xu Gui expectantly and asked, "Does it have any other abilities?"

Xu Gui: "...Yes, you can do neck exercises?"

Next, more and more people gathered around Xu Gui's fortune-telling stall, and Xu Gui's voice could be faintly heard from the crowd.

"Little turtle, wiggle your neck and show everyone..."

"Little turtle, spin around a few times."

"...Write the two characters for 'turtle'..."

(Turtle: Something seems off?)

Xu Gui also felt that something was off. Wasn't this supposed to be a fortune-telling stall? How did it turn into a street performance? If she brought out a tray like in TV dramas, would these people give her tips?

The onlookers watched as the little turtle followed Xu Gui's commands precisely, as if it truly understood him.

Wow, they've seen animal trainers and seal trainers before, but this is the first time they've seen turtle trainers.

"You really know how to train turtles? Can you understand turtles and talk to them?" a young man asked curiously and excitedly.

Xu Gui looked at him and casually said, "I guess so."

Unexpectedly, her words excited the young man greatly, and he immediately asked, "Really? Then can you help me ask my turtle a few questions?"

Everyone else couldn't help but look at the young man who had spoken, wanting to see who was the person who said such bizarre things. They recognized each word he said, but why did they make it sound incomprehensible when put together?

What do you mean by asking my turtle a few questions?

This guy doesn't actually believe that this little girl can talk to turtles, does he?

However, the young man clearly believed it. He stared intently at Xu Gui and said, "If this works out, I can give you 500,000!"

Xu Gui's eyes flickered involuntarily. Suddenly, he realized that he could actually talk to turtles. After all, although he couldn't clearly communicate with these turtles who didn't have much thinking ability, he could still manage to have a little bit of interaction.

Thinking this, she looked at the young man and asked directly, "Where do you live?"

The young man quickly replied, "It's nearby, only a ten-minute walk away."

"Mao Dayong, the turtle you're talking about, it wouldn't be the one your grandfather kept before he passed away, would it?" Someone in the crowd who clearly knew the young man spoke up, then added with a hint of surprise, "Your family isn't still eyeing the inheritance your grandfather left behind, is it? It's been seven or eight years, and you still haven't given up?"

Those nearby couldn't help but prick up their ears upon hearing this—it seemed there was more to this than met the eye. They immediately wished they could say more, much more!

The young man, Mao Dayong, felt a little embarrassed, but also felt that he had done nothing wrong.

“My grandfather died, my father was his son, and I am his grandson, so his inheritance should naturally go to our family!” Mao Dayong said.

The speaker pursed his lips and said, "That's on the condition that you can find this inheritance."

Bystanders couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by that? If the old man has an inheritance, why is he still looking for it? Doesn't the inheritance just disappear after the old man dies?"

The man who spoke said, "You wouldn't know this, would you? This family..."

He glanced at Mao Dayong, opened his mouth as if to say something, but Mao Dayong snapped, "What business is it of yours what my family's affairs are? Hey, are you going or not?"

When it comes to making money, Xu Gui is now very enthusiastic, and immediately said, "Go! Of course I'll go!"

She considered it for a moment and said, "But you should be able to give me the 500,000, right?"

Mao Dayong: "If you can help my family find my grandfather's inheritance, I will definitely give you this 500,000 yuan!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Gui stared at him for a few seconds, then paused in her attempt to stand up. She then slowly sat back down, remaining as steady as a mountain.

Mao Dayong: ?

"What are you doing?" he couldn't help but ask.

Xu Gui said sincerely, "Because I feel that if I really give it to you, I might not be able to get the 500,000."

Mao Dayong became anxious: "Why?"

Xu Gui: "Guess?"

Mao Dayong: "..."

Suddenly, someone in the crowd chuckled, and laughter erupted from one another, instantly turning the atmosphere into a joyful one. Someone teased, "The young lady's meaning is quite clear; she thinks you can't come up with the money. Why don't you give her the 500,000 first?"

This person was clearly looking for trouble and his tone was full of jeering.

Mao Dayong pretended not to hear this. He took a breath in frustration, looked at Xu Gui, and asked patiently, "What do you want from me to go?"

Xu Gui seemed to have been waiting for him to say this, and said without hesitation, "Give me the money first."

“…I don’t have that much money right now,” Mao Dayong said somewhat awkwardly. “I need to find the inheritance left by my grandfather before I can give you the money.”

Xu Gui's lips twitched slightly. "So you've come here to try and get something for nothing?"

Mao Dayong retorted, "How can you call it a trap? My grandfather left behind over a hundred catties of gold. If you can really find his inheritance, I'll give you not just 500,000, but a million!"

His tone was arrogant.

Wow, over a hundred pounds of gold?

The number Mao Dayong mentioned was truly astonishing. Some people at the scene couldn't help but gasp and started gesturing with their fingers to calculate how much that hundred-odd kilograms of gold was worth.

You know, these days, having a pound or two of gold makes you rich. This hundred pounds of gold... that's hundreds of millions of dollars! Whoever gets their hands on it will become rich overnight.

If this is true, it's no wonder Mao Dayong is so arrogant.

Xu Gui asked, "How do you know your grandfather left such a large inheritance?"

"Because my grandfather was no ordinary person!" Mao Dayong said. To prove the truth of his words, he pulled out a bright yellow object from around his neck, which turned out to be a gold lucky charm.

Mao Dayong pointed to the lucky plaque and said, "This one, do you see it? It's pure gold, weighs eight ounces, more than four hundred grams... This is a gift from my grandfather! My grandfather has given away five of these lucky plaques!"

They have two brothers, their aunt has two siblings, and their uncle has a child. Each family has one child, which is extremely generous.

"Tell me, if my grandfather can produce these things, do you think he's an ordinary person?" Mao Dayong said proudly.

Xu Gui glanced at it and nodded in agreement, saying, "Your grandfather is indeed no ordinary person."

"Right!" Mao Dayong couldn't help but feel smug when he saw her agree. He said, "Anyway, my grandfather is definitely rich. As long as we find his inheritance, our family will become rich overnight. We will definitely give you every penny of the money we promised."

Some people couldn't help but ask, "If it's your grandfather's inheritance, why don't you know where it is and why are you still looking for it?"

Mao Dayong said, "My grandfather died suddenly from an illness. He died before he could say anything, and nobody knows where he put his inheritance."

They searched every corner of the house but couldn't find it. They were extremely worried. His grandfather had been dead for seven or eight years, but the whole family was still concerned about it.

"So what brings you to this young lady?" someone asked.

Mao Dayong said, "She can talk to turtles, right? When my grandfather was alive, that big turtle was his favorite. He would talk to that big turtle about everything. If anyone in our family knew where my grandfather's inheritance was, it was only the big turtle."

The others suddenly realized, and then they felt that Mao Dayong was even more unreliable. If he were really reliable, how could he think that a person could talk to a tortoise? It was simply a joke.

But Mao Dayong didn't think so. He thought he was a genius for coming up with such a good idea.

"Hey, are you coming back with me or not?!" he shouted at Xu Gui. "It's not like I'm not going to give you the money."

Xu Gui remained glued to the stool, saying calmly, "Sorry, I don't do empty promises here."

Mao Dayong became anxious: "How is it an empty promise? As long as my grandfather's inheritance is found, can't I give it to you?"

"What if we can't find it?" Xu Gui asked a question that seemed to come from the depths of his soul, and then added, "Or perhaps your grandfather didn't leave any genetic inheritance at all?"

"Impossible!" Mao Dayong said without thinking, then added, "You don't know what kind of person my grandfather is, that's why you said that. If you knew what my grandfather did before, you would never say such a thing."

Xu Gui casually remarked, "Didn't your grandfather used to be a bandit?"

Upon hearing her words, Mao Dayong's eyes widened, and he blurted out, "How did you know?"

Xu Gui said that this was a good question, and then she pointed to the fortune-telling banner next to her.

Mao Dayong followed his movements and looked over, then slowly read the words on the fortune-telling banner aloud: "Science? Fortune-telling..."

"Fortune telling?!" He looked at Xu Gui in shock. "You tell fortunes?" And science? No, how did science get involved with the words fortune telling?

Mao Dayong was dumbfounded.

“That’s right,” Xu Gui nodded. “So, the reason I know about this is because I calculated it.”

Mao Dayong looked at her and said, "Aren't you a circus performer?"

Xu Gui: "..."

Bullet comments:

[Haha, Xu Gui's expression is hilarious! I was just thinking, you're a celebrity, a fortune teller, not a circus performer!! Why are you so happy directing the little turtles to perform?]

[But Xu Gui is truly talented at acrobatics! Look at those fish and turtles, they're so obedient to her every word she says. I even wonder if she has the ability to talk to animals!]

[Isn't the key point that this guy's grandfather used to be a bandit? Goodness, no wonder this guy has been unwilling to say what his grandfather did; it seems he knows that profession is shady.]

It's true that he's involved in something shameful, but his grandfather was a bandit, which must have happened seventy or eighty years ago, right? They probably won't pursue it now.

*

The camera returns to Xu Gui.

Xu Gui, who never expected to be mistaken for a circus performer, said: "...I'm a fortune teller."

Mao Dayong glanced at her fortune-telling stall, then at Xu Gui, and immediately asked, "Can you help me find out where my grandfather's inheritance is?"

Xu Gui: Oh, 500,000 has vanished.

However, since we couldn't get that 500,000 anyway, earning 500 yuan would be pretty good.

“Okay.” Xu Gui nodded and took out a QR code for payment: “Cheng Hui, five hundred yuan.”

Mao Dayong paid quickly and efficiently, and the person filming asked, "Aren't you worried that she's a scammer?"

Mao Dayong glanced at Xu Gui and said, "It doesn't seem like it... She can talk to turtles, how could she be a fraud! She's clearly a master!" He looked at Xu Gui with great respect.

Xu Gui decided to retract his assessment of him as "stupid and vicious," at least this person still had some discernment.

After receiving the money, Xu Gui packed her things and prepared for work. These things that [Miaoyu] brought looked valuable, and if they were lost, she was afraid she would have to pay compensation.

Unfortunately, the old man didn't set up his stall today; I wonder what he was doing.

Left with no other option, Xu Gui could only ask the filming crew if they could send a staff member to help watch over these items to prevent them from being damaged.

The cameraman nodded and readily agreed, "Sure." It was just a small matter; the production team would definitely agree.

To be honest, other celebrities wouldn't have this problem, since they have assistants who can help them with anything. However, Xu Gui has been alone since he started participating in the show, without a single assistant.

【Xinghai】This company, I don't know what it's doing, it's a well-known company in the industry, but it's losing money.

“Oh, right,” Xu Gui suddenly remembered something, looked up at Mao Dayong, and casually said, “Just to be on the safe side, why don’t you swear an oath?”

Mao Dayong was shocked and puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, "Why should I swear an oath?"

Xu Gui replied earnestly, "Because: just to be on the safe side."

Mao Dayong's lips twitched slightly: What kind of ridiculous reason is that?

"What kind of oath do you want me to make?" he asked irritably.

Xu Gui: "If we find your grandfather's inheritance, it will not be the kind of inheritance your family is looking for. You, and no one in your family, are allowed to cause me any trouble. If anyone causes me trouble, your Mao family will be wiped out and forever impoverished."

Upon hearing this, Mao Dayong's expression changed. He looked at Xu Gui and saw that Xu Gui's expression was very serious. He couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"Is this oath mandatory?" he asked.

Xu Gui nodded firmly and said, "Absolutely, otherwise I won't go."

Mao Dayong: "...Okay."

He swore an oath as Xu Gui had instructed, but as he uttered the oath, an ominous feeling arose in his heart, and a thought involuntarily popped into his mind: Could it be that his grandfather really didn't leave any inheritance back then?

But how could that be? His father, his uncle, and his aunt all swore that his grandfather must have left something behind.

"Your grandfather was a notorious bandit in our area. He robbed countless merchants, and he was incredibly wealthy. The money was piled up in the caves, filling them to the brim..."

How could they be so sure if they didn't have this?

Mao Dayong told himself not to overthink it. If his father and the others were so sure, it meant that his grandfather must have left something behind. If they could find the money, their family would be rich and could live a comfortable and prosperous life.

*

Xu Gui and the others waited for a while until the program crew arrived before leaving with Mao Dayong.

“…I’m live streaming, you don’t mind, do you?” Xu Gui pointed to the camera being carried by the cameraman. “But don’t worry, we will blur the faces of irrelevant people when we are filming without permission.”

Mao Dayong glanced at it and shook his head: "I don't mind."

Most people nowadays are quite adaptable to the camera and won't feel too offended as long as they've been told beforehand.

Seeing that he had no objections, Xu Gui nodded and said, "That's good."

She glanced at Mao Dayong and casually asked him, "Are your family members good to your grandfather?"

Mao Dayong looked at her strangely, not understanding why she would ask such a question.

“Of course it is.” He said this with great pride, “My dad, my aunt, and my uncle all wanted to take care of my grandfather, but in the end my grandfather chose our family!”

“My grandfather is very good to me. Look, this lucky charm was given to me by him. It’s very heavy and worth a lot of money. My dad and his family also respect my grandfather very much. They have always been very respectful to him. They will satisfy whatever my grandfather wants without any hesitation.”

Therefore, in Mao Dayong's eyes, their family atmosphere was very good, and the family members respected the elderly and cared for the young, making them a model family.

“So you’re still eyeing your grandfather’s inheritance,” Xu Gui said.

Mao Dayong immediately understood Xu Gui's meaning. He pursed his lips and said, "My grandfather is my own grandfather, not some unrelated person. We have the right to inherit his estate. So why shouldn't we covet it?"

He sighed again: "It's all my grandfather's fault for leaving so quickly. He didn't even have time to say anything before he was gone, leaving our whole family wondering where he put his inheritance."

Upon hearing Mao Dayong's words, some viewers in the live stream felt something was amiss and couldn't help but say:

If the Mao family was truly a harmonious family, how could the old man have passed away without saying anything? Don't tell me it was because he had a sudden illness and didn't have time to say anything. What I mean is, if this family really had a good relationship, then before he got sick, the old man should have occasionally talked to the younger generation about the arrangements for his estate after his death. That's how it was in my family, anyway.

【Sister, you've hit the nail on the head! I'd always felt there was something subtly off about what this person was saying, but I couldn't quite put my finger on it. But what you've said has been a revelation; I instantly understand what's so strange about it.】

[Didn't you guys notice? The way that guy who knew Mao Dayong spoke about the Mao family among the onlookers was really strange.]

[I didn't notice any of what you're saying, but I do know that Xu Gui's attitude towards this matter is wrong. Even Mao Dayong offering her 500,000 yuan didn't tempt her. Xu Gui, who loves money so much, actually resisted the temptation—that's the biggest problem!]

Others: 【!!! Sister, your words are truly gems!】

That's right, the biggest mistake was definitely Xu Gui.

After this period of live streaming, longtime fans have had enough time to understand what kind of person Xu Gui is.

Aside from the first few days after she arrived in this world and started to slack off, after discovering that money was a good thing, Xu Gui genuinely began to like money and enjoy making it. Every time she made money, her face would beam with joy, and everyone could see the satisfaction and smile in her eyes and brows.

Whenever there's a problem, as long as you give Xu Gui money, her attitude will become extremely proactive.

But this time, Xu Gui, who has always been very eager to make money, ignored Mao Dayong's offer of 500,000 yuan and seemed indifferent to the money. This is the most abnormal thing.

[The oath Xu Gui made Mao Dayong swear was also very strange. It clearly implied that the inheritance left by Mao Dayong's grandfather was definitely not what his family was hoping for!]

The more the viewers in the live stream analyzed it, the stranger it seemed, and the more convinced they were that what they were saying was the truth.

So, what exactly is going on with the Mao family's inheritance? Was that hundred-odd kilograms of gold actually missing from the first opening? But if it's fake, Mao Dayong had such a large gold amulet, weighing over 400 grams, which is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. Looking at it this way, it seems that Mao Dayong's grandfather was indeed a capable person.

So, what exactly happened with the Mao family? Netizens are a bit confused.

Fortunately, just as they were having an enthusiastic discussion, Xu Gui and the others had already arrived at the Mao family home with Mao Dayong.

In City A, where land is incredibly valuable, the Mao family actually owns a detached house with a large iron gate locked in front, suggesting they are quite wealthy.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. If the Mao family can wear a lucky charm worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, they can't be that poor, even if they don't have much money.

Mao Dayong stepped forward and opened the door: "Come in, come in!"

Xu Gui followed him inside. The first thing that caught his eye was a courtyard of moderate size, with a strong Chinese style and aesthetic.
