Chapter 235 Fortune? Truth and Falsehood

"That's right. My child is in the top three of his grade. It's just that he's been rebellious lately and keeps skipping classes. Otherwise, a teacher wouldn't bother with a bad student like him."

The woman's face indeed wore that smile of "My child is so proud of me."

[Master, this woman is completely hopeless. Everyone's been saying it so openly and subtly, but she won't reflect on it at all.]

Honestly, excessive control can make children rebellious, even defiant. Wasn't that the case of the student at National Taiwan Normal University who killed his mother precisely because of this?

To be honest, I also hate parents who are overly controlling. Wouldn't it be better to have a quiet little room where I can do my own thing? It won't affect my studies, and I can even cultivate my hobbies.

How could a woman possibly concentrate on watching the scrolling comments on the screen?

For more than a decade, she has poured all her heart and soul into her son, and she has gotten used to everything.

Today, she told me her story, and you told me I was wrong.

What's wrong?

Was I wrong?

I did nothing wrong. He's a piece of my flesh and blood. I want to take care of him, so what?

Should I just ignore everything and not care about anything, like my husband?

Do you want your child to end up like the village hoodlums who didn't even finish elementary school, spending their whole life working for others?

Why does this woman look at me with such disdain? A child is a person, not a toy, much less a tool in her hands. They can't just do whatever you say. They have thoughts and their own ideas, so please listen to their opinions, okay?

Stop talking. This stubborn woman will only realize we were right when she truly regrets it. Like a flower or a sapling, they need patient care and exposure to wind and rain to bloom beautifully and grow strong.

"Let me ask you one more time, what do you really want? It's about your child."

"I……"

For a fleeting moment, the woman's heart wavered, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Of course, we want him to make something of himself."

I'm speechless! Completely beyond help.

[She talks about getting ahead of others constantly; does she really see her child as just a toy? This is terrifying! Master, please kick her out of this immediately, and let's find someone else.]

[A woman who is stubbornly unrepentant will ultimately meet a bad end. Many people like you who are harsh on their children have already received their retribution. You are both pitiful and hateful. You should browse the news online and see if it can offer any insights. So many netizens have been advising you, but you remain completely unmoved.]

"Please stop talking, Master. Am I being too extreme in my thinking?"

Gu Yunxi suppressed her anger and smiled as she watched the comments section. After all, she was a public figure and couldn't lose her temper or say whatever she wanted like other netizens.

"That's natural."

"Can he really make something of himself?"

"sure."

Liu Guoguo was satisfied with the answer and finally smiled. She knew that everything she had done was right. Even the master knew that her child would be successful in the future. She shouldn't believe a single word of what those trolls on the internet said.

"However, I also have some advice for you."

"Master, please speak!" Liu Guoguo appeared unusually relaxed.

"It's actually very simple. From this moment on, whatever your son wants to do, let him do it. Fulfill all his requests. If you can stick to this for a week, I guarantee your son will definitely make something of himself in the future."

The woman felt her laughter subside again; the flame that had just ignited within her was extinguished somewhat. Seeing Master Gu's serious expression, she decided to swallow her words.

"If you can't do that, you've seen the suggestions from netizens. They've told you to look at those cases involving mothers and children online. If I'm not mistaken, you've consulted fortune tellers online more than once, and many times in real life as well, but none of them have ever satisfied you."

Liu Guoguo nodded, then shook her head.

"Besides, anyone who agrees with you is just trying to scam you out of your money. I'm straightforward, and I'll explain right from wrong to you clearly. You'll have to weigh the pros and cons yourself. I have nothing else to say. You can leave now!"

The woman was completely confused, and Gu Yunxi didn't know if she had understood anything or not; in any case, the woman logged off on her own.

[Master, can she last a week? I don't think she can even last a day.]

[There's always a reason why someone is pitiful. If she hadn't acted this way, focusing only on her child's academic performance and neglecting his mental and physical well-being, how could her child have possibly succeeded?]

"Let's not talk about this person anymore. There will be more to come, come on!"

Soon, a netizen who said "I'm going to get rich this year" was brought up.

【Great, this man's appearance and demeanor suit me quite well. I also want to get rich quick this year, but I don't know how.】

[Perhaps I'm not destined to become very wealthy. I've always wanted a master to predict my path to wealth, but I've never been able to connect with him.]

"Fortune?"

Gu Yunxi carefully examined his features. Although the man seemed a little embarrassed through the camera lens, he would occasionally cover his face.

"Your fortune is good; you'll receive a substantial sum of money soon."

Upon hearing Gu Yunxi's words, the man immediately sat up straight. "Master, you're amazing! Our house is in the old town, and it's going to be demolished soon. I heard the compensation is very high. Isn't that like getting rich?"

[Haha! As expected of Master Gu, his predictions are always spot on.]

"You're right, the compensation for the demolition is high, but you can't take this money."

"Huh? Master, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

Dang Wu immediately sat up straight, his tone somewhat unpleasant, "That's my family's demolition compensation. Why can't I take it? I watched a few of your live streams and thought you really had some skills, but it turns out you're just superstitious and completely unreliable."

No, you can doubt others, but you cannot question the master. What she says is absolutely correct; she has never been wrong, and this has been confirmed by the authorities.

[Exactly, there were dozens of matches, big and small. When did she ever make a mistake? When she first questioned the master, all the evidence and results were laid out in front of you, and all you could do was admire her.]

"You said you live in the old town, that's true, but you should know the history of this house, right?"

"joke!"

Dang Wu looked disdainful. "Are you trying to tell me that this house doesn't belong to me, but to you?"

“Our neighbors can all attest to this; it was built by my grandfather and has been passed down through generations.”

"OK!"

Gu Yunxi poured herself another cup of tea. "Since you don't believe me, then I'll tell you about the origin of this house."
