Ma Qinting was even more unhappy. She had become at least two shades darker, which was bad enough, but the key issue was that what she said at the beginning of military training became a joke.

Moreover, her plan failed, as Gui completely ignored her, leaving her at a loss.

Seeing her classmates fawning over Xiao Li, Ma Qinting was extremely unhappy. She had always been the center of attention since childhood, and now being relegated to a supporting role was not a pleasant experience at all.

This reminded her of something she had overheard years ago.

It was an afternoon when she woke up from her nap and wanted to go to the study to play with her father, but found no one there. Just as she was about to come out, her father came with someone.

She wanted to surprise her father, so she secretly hid in the wardrobe behind the screen, only to overhear something that shocked her.

“Master Hu, I owe you a great debt of gratitude fifteen years ago, which is why I was able to build such a large business. This little favor I am doing today is nothing.”

“You already paid me fifteen years ago, so don’t say anything more.”

"Yes, it's a rare privilege for a master to come here, so it's my honor to entertain him."

Ma Zhenxing paused for a moment before continuing.

“Master Hu, that child has been very unlucky ever since her luck changed. Why don’t we make her disappear? It would be easier that way, and it would prevent my Tingting from suffering a backlash later.”

Master Hu's tone became very stern.

"No, this fate can only be stolen. Do you think it's that easy to do? We can't let her disappear. We just need to keep suppressing her."

Ma Zhenxing apologized again, "Yes, it was my fault for not understanding. Thank you for your hard work, Master."

Master Hu also became curious, "That child is also your bloodline, how come you have no pity at all?"

Your love for your daughter seems genuine, and you're not one to favor sons over daughters, so why are you treating that daughter like this…?

He was also very curious. Most of the people who asked him to do this kind of thing had a grudge against him, and he had never seen anyone ask him to change the fate of his two daughters.

Ma Zhenxing chuckled awkwardly, "Master, this is just some old news, let's not talk about it."

Master Hu did not press the matter further, and the two continued their discussion on other topics.

Ma Qinting was stunned by what she saw in the closet. What daughter? What change of fortune? She didn't quite understand, but she knew she was the one who would benefit.

But would she suffer a backlash? This sent a shiver down her spine.

After her father and Master Hu left, she went to investigate. After paying attention, she finally discovered the clue of Aibao Welfare Home a month later.

Following this lead, she found Gui Xiaoli and, seeing her face so similar to her mother's, she finally understood.

Under her questioning, her father finally told her the whole truth.

It turns out she wasn't her mother's daughter; she was an illegitimate child.

Back then, Ma Zhenxing and his mother Bai Lan were childhood sweethearts, but unfortunately Ma Zhenxing was too poor, and the Bai family did not approve of their marriage.

The two had no choice but to break up. After the breakup, Bai Lan discovered that she was pregnant, while Ma Zhenxing married Fu Yue, the eldest daughter of the Fu family.

Bai Lan couldn't bear to abort the child, so she secretly gave birth to it, but suffered from premature birth and severe bleeding during delivery.

At the hospital, she met Ma Zhenxing, who was with Fu Yue during childbirth. She handed the baby to Ma Zhenxing and told him that it was his child.

Only after seeing that the child was safe did Bai Lan succumb to her grief and die.

Ma Zhenxing was heartbroken, holding his child. He wanted to give his wife the best of everything for the child she had given birth to with great difficulty.

Looking at the babies Fu Yue gave birth to, the two children looked very similar when they were first born, and coincidentally, they even had the same blood type.

Thinking of Master Hu, whom I had met not long ago, a bold idea slowly emerged.

Originally, he only wanted to switch the identities of the two children, but the master had said that the child in Fu Yue's womb had a noble destiny, which made him very uneasy.

So he spent a lot of money to get a master to help him change his luck.

This led to the entangled fates of the two children.

Seeing Xiao Li's dazzling success, Ma Qinting couldn't help but shudder. Wasn't her luck supposed to change? Why was her radiance still so dazzling?

She panicked a little, but then she remembered that Master Hu had come to examine her just last month, which reassured her. She could only comfort herself.

"This must be a coincidence; Master Hu couldn't possibly make a mistake."

?

After a month of hard work, Xiaoli went home to relax for a while, and then went to North Street to look after the shop.

I haven't been in touch for a month, and I don't know if the talismans I drew have been sold.

As soon as I entered the shop, I saw Wu Haiping explaining something to an old man.

"Please wait a little longer, sir. The boss has gone to military training and hasn't come back yet."

The old man didn't believe it at all. "Don't try to fool me. Military training is over."

Wu Haiping was just feeling a headache when he saw Xiaoli come in.

He was overjoyed. He had been driven crazy by this old man Dong lately, and he didn't know how to deal with him if Xiaoli didn't come back soon.

"Uncle Dong, look, this Miss Gui is the boss. Why don't you go find her?"

Old Man Dong looked over and carefully examined Xiao Li, finding that this girl was indeed quite good and particularly suitable to be his disciple.

Old Man Dong's real name is Dong Linzhuo, and he is the vice president of the Taoist Association.

He had accidentally seen some talismans in this shop last time, and they looked newly drawn. He had no idea when such a genius had appeared.
