Chapter 213 The Real and Fake Heiresses Used as Cannon Fodder (Part 25) In order to develop…

In order to demonstrate his talent in metaphysics, Hao Hao insisted on performing a summoning of the Ouija board for his long-admired master to prove that he did indeed have a spiritual constitution.

Just like the geniuses in novels who have spiritual roots, wisdom roots, and exceptional comprehension, and are sought after by many powerful figures to become their disciples.

Otherwise, why is it that when playing with others, he's the only one who can summon the Ouija board?

Then, with the two girls' reluctant cooperation, after a series of seemingly bizarre but actually somewhat silly actions, Hao Hao almost broke the pen in his hand, but nothing strange happened.

The young boy tried to salvage the situation, saying, "It must have seen my idol connecting with me on her livestream and knew she was amazing, so it was too scared to come out! We can do it again, this time I'll move the livestream camera further away!!"

Chu Chu, the girl in black: ...

Blue-clad girl A-Yue: ...

No, we don't want to play these silly and childish games with you anymore!

Seeing that Hao Hao still hadn't figured it out, Chu Chu simply picked up the pen and held it with Hao Hao's hand again.

Then, the spirit of the Ouija board, which had remained completely silent despite all the previous calls, suddenly controlled the brush in its hand and wrote a poem called "Drinking Alone Under the Moon" on the paper.

It's the kind that can pick up ink on its own!

Hao Hao, the young man, was beaming with joy. Although he didn't say anything, the upward curve of his lips was clearly impossible to suppress.

The Ouija board spirit he summoned this time was quite cultured! It even shared his love for Li Bai!

He remained reserved for a while, just about to subtly show off, when he heard the girl in blue feign surprise and say, "Hey, the handwriting in 'Bring in the Wine' looks so familiar, isn't it Chu Chu's handwriting?"

Bai Zhiyao usually doesn't laugh when she's been teased by the viewers in the live stream for so long, but this time she really couldn't hold back. Even though she didn't laugh out loud while covering her mouth with a fan, the way her eyebrows and eyes curved clearly showed her mood.

Hao Hao was stunned for a while before he realized what the so-called Ouija board was all about. He then remembered that the Ouija board had borrowed all his savings, a full two hundred yuan of pocket money. He pouted and almost burst into tears.

[Hahaha, I thought I was going to watch a paranormal channel today, but it turned out to be a science documentary.]

[Haohao, you should eat more walnuts while you're young to nourish your brain. Otherwise, when you get older, you might get scammed out of your retirement savings and won't have any money to buy walnuts.]

Is it possible that he doesn't have money to buy walnuts right now? Didn't Hao Hao say that all his allowance was taken by the Ouija board?

It's okay, the child is still young. They can learn from their mistakes, learn from their mistakes, learn from their mistakes, and then they'll be full.

…………

Finally, after Chu Chu and A Yue joined forces to promise that they would definitely get his allowance back, Hao Hao wiped away his tears, sobbing.

The boy looked intently at the camera in the live stream, his voice still slightly choked up, "Master Bai, it seems I don't have the talent for cultivation and can't become your apprentice to learn skills, but you will always be my idol, and I will continue to watch your live streams."

Bai Zhiyao smiled and nodded: "Since you recognize me as your idol, how about I give the three of you a task?"

Seeing the three children nod in agreement and look on with anticipation, Bai Zhiyao raised her eyebrows and smiled, and asked them to take out the "Summer Vacation Drowning Prevention Safety Education Book" that each class teacher would give out before the summer vacation.

"Children are not allowed to swim or play in lakes or rivers without adult supervision. You must know that, right?" Bai Zhiyao tapped the table and said.

"Didn't you two plan to go swimming in the lake? Since you can both write calligraphy, why don't you use a calligraphy brush to copy this safety education book?"

The three who had been hoping for a response opened their mouths but couldn't find a way to refute them, and finally resigned themselves to their fate and lowered their heads.

Seeing the three children looking dejected, Bai Zhiyao bared her teeth and threatened, "Don't forget I can tell fortunes. If I say you can't go, you can't go. Have you read any novels? In those novels, those who don't listen to fortune tellers always end up in terrible situations."

Bai Zhiyao kept watching the three of them do their homework without disconnecting the live stream. In the gossip system, most of the content displayed was gossip, but occasionally there would be some rather tragic gossip.

For example, based on the information available to the gossip system, the following developments are predicted: the three mischievous kids went to an empty classroom, played with the Ouija board, and then discovered that it was a hoax. Hao Hao, furious, decided to seek out new thrills.

The three bought iced drinks and went swimming in the lake on a hot afternoon. The teenagers were already weaker, and after drinking the ice water and swimming in the lake, the alternation between hot and cold caused all three of them to get leg cramps.

Even though Chuchu is an excellent swimmer, she couldn't safely bring her two friends out of the lake because of leg cramps. And because she didn't want to abandon her friends, she also couldn't climb ashore.

Although these things were just the speculations of the "gossip system," Bai Zhiyao was unwilling to take the risk and felt more at ease keeping an eye on them.

Under Bai Zhiyao's supervision, the three children slowly found their pens, ink, paper, and inkstones, placed the safety education book in the middle, and began to write carefully, one stroke at a time.

All three of them came from well-off families, so the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones they used were of high quality, the same brand as Bai Zhiyao's.

Bai Zhiyao took the opportunity to explain to everyone the advertisement she had taken on, including the materials used for the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, as if she left the three of them in the live stream to do their homework just to promote her client.

[This is the first time I've heard that drowning prevention safety education books can be handwritten with a calligraphy brush. This combination leaves me feeling utterly helpless, unable to find a single angle to criticize it.]

[That safety manual is almost a thousand words long, what were those three doing? Why did they suddenly start assigning homework?]

[Do you guys remember when Chu Chu first mentioned going swimming in the lake? That's when I realized why Master Bai was so insistent. These three are such naughty kids! Going out into the water at this time of day, with the weather hot and the lake water cold, they're very likely to get leg cramps!!]

[A smart but rebellious child is useless to keep an eye on; even if you stop him today, who knows what he'll do tomorrow? You should just notify his parents directly.]

…………

Bai Zhiyao also felt that this matter was not Zhao Wenjing's fault and that the parents should be informed. She has already asked her live-streaming assistant to help contact the child's parents.

She kept the live stream connected, chatting with the children from time to time, until she saw the parents and the naughty kids screaming in pain from being beaten. Only then did she reluctantly disconnect.

The third contact was quickly reached, but it was in a very familiar place – the team that provided free medical consultations during the day.

The girl on the video call was wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a sun hat, which covered almost her entire face. But if you got closer, you could still see the uneven scars on half of her face.

The girl forced a smile. "Master Bai, hello. My name is Ye Wuyou. I'd like to ask if someone like me still has a future?"

In the live stream, the chat was usually unusually active after each connection, but now no one dared to say a word. This girl was clearly disfigured, and it was the kind of burns.

Being sarcastic has its limits. A little banter in everyday life is fine for livening things up, but if you join in on something like this, you're just asking for trouble.

Even the live-streaming assistant standing to the side couldn't help but gasp. Although he had always been a background character, he was still paid a high salary by the Bai family and was ordered to protect this young lady.

Previously, Bai Zhiyao's live streams had been going smoothly, and he didn't need to intervene; he could just take advantage of the chaos. Now, suddenly, someone with a disfigured face appeared and asked such a question. More importantly, she was in the young lady's free clinic team.

The assistant quickly compiled a bunch of suitable scripts and placed them out of the camera's view, to serve as a teleprompter for Bai Zhiyao.

Bai Zhiyao shook her head slightly at her assistant, then smiled and asked Ye Wuyou in the live stream, "So what kind of future do you think you want?"

Her voice was soft and gentle, without the heaviness and panic that others would feel upon hearing such words, nor any disgust or contempt. Even though it was through a screen, it still made people feel at ease.

Ye Wuyou glanced at the live stream again, and after confirming that Bai Zhiyao's face did not show any disgust, her tense body relaxed slightly.

From the moment she was injured and disfigured, her parents and brothers always said, "Don't worry, I'm here. I'll take care of you from now on."

Come on, go out and relax. You're welcome to attend this banquet; absolutely no one will dare to say a bad word about you.

Or they'll say, "Don't worry, we've arranged for you to marry the son of so-and-so or the young master of so-and-so's family, and you'll have children later."

It's as if after her disfigurement, she no longer exists as a human being, and is inferior to others in every way. Even getting someone to speak a normal word to her requires exchanging benefits from her parents.

Not to mention getting married, sacrificing the interests of one's own family, and giving others large sums of money just to beg for a marriage out of charity.

All those who came to curry favor with her after receiving benefits had contempt and disgust in their eyes, which made Ye Wuyou even more disgusted with them.

"I want to be the same as before I was disfigured." Ye Wuyou sighed softly. "Not that my appearance will return to what it was before, but how others treat me. I don't want my parents to have to use our family's money and favors to beg others for a kind look anymore!"

Even the largest family fortune can't withstand such devastation. Besides, she doesn't need those utterly fake attempts to please her; it's not an equal exchange at all.

Bai Zhiyao nodded. "The company plan you made before your disfigurement was already taking shape. Why not continue? I think with your abilities, the chances of failure are not high."

Ye Wuyou was stunned for a moment, but her thoughts inexplicably wandered. Before her disfigurement, she had a detailed plan to create a company.

Not many people knew about this. Even her parents and brother had only heard that she planned to start a company, but they didn't know the specifics and just thought she was messing around.

It turns out that the "Master Bai" who was rumored to have hired shills online is actually quite capable of divination! Or perhaps, they had already investigated their background before the online connection.

After spacing out for a while and thinking about a bunch of random things, Ye Wuyou relaxed a little and couldn't help but think about his original business plan.

Whether it was discovered through investigation or calculation, the Bai family approves of her plan, so her company is bound to succeed.

With her attention diverted, Ye Wuyou's eyes regained some brightness, and when she listened to Bai Zhiyao's words again, she felt quite enlightened.

“Your parents and brothers care about you and are afraid that you will always be lifeless, so they go to great lengths to let you interact with people. If you don’t need it, why don’t you communicate with them seriously?”

Seeing Ye Wuyou's thoughtful expression, Bai Zhiyao continued, "Regarding the scar on your face, I'll have my sister prescribe some medicine for you later. Her medical skills are quite good. If you're feeling weak, you can also go to her medicinal cuisine restaurant; the medicinal dishes there taste delicious."

Ye Wuyou smiled, her expression surprisingly relaxed after knowing the truth. "I had heard of Doctor Bai's reputation, so I rushed here to seek treatment. Hearing what Master Bai said, I feel even more at ease."

She never believed in coincidences, let alone that the connection was truly random. After all, the platform Bai Zhiyao was live streaming on had shares held by the Bai family, so manipulating the connection behind the scenes would be incredibly easy.

The internet has never been a clean place; there are plenty of keyboard warriors who speak without restraint. If Bai Zhiyao were to encounter an insolent person on the other end, she would inevitably suffer injustice.

Ye Wuyou looked down in deep thought. The person the Bai family chose to contact must have some reason, and the most likely one related to him was this Doctor Bai, who was rumored to be a master of traditional Chinese medicine.

Just think about how Bai Zhiyao deliberately copied the prescription in a messy and disorganized way when she was copying large characters in the live stream, and how Bai Zhiyao just happened to choose me as the person she was connecting with in the live stream.

Bai Tian's consultations were quick, and in just a few days, it was Ye Wuyou's turn, who was already near the front of the queue. The live stream connection never stopped, and before Bai Zhiyao could speak, Ye Wuyou took off his mask and sunglasses right in front of the camera.

The pitted scars left by the burns covered almost half of his face, but Ye Wuyou's expression was very calm.

Dr. Bai needs people to promote the treatment's effectiveness, while she herself needs to treat her scars. If the treatment is effective, she'll cooperate with the promotion, and everyone will be happy. Even if the treatment isn't effective, would Dr. Bai really let her suffer a loss?
