Chapter 26 What can you do at a hot pot restaurant if you don't eat hot pot?

Liu Zheng nodded, realizing she had acted impulsively.

[Oh no, they're leaving!]

Gu Yunxi jumped up, gripping the curtain with one hand, and silently counted "3, 2, 1".

The curtain was lifted, and the two happened to pass by. The woman was wearing a black hat and a black mask, and she was in Gu Feng's arms. The man seemed to be chatting and laughing, and seemed particularly happy.

"Dad, what a coincidence!"

Startled, Gu Feng quickly released Xu Jiaojiao, almost pushing her to the ground!

Looking towards that private room, he stumbled back a few steps and leaned against the table behind him!

Looking at the group with an embarrassed expression, he said, "What a coincidence, what are you all doing here?"

"Look what Dad is saying. What are we doing at a hot pot restaurant if we don't eat hot pot? Are we just here to eat melons? But don't you dislike hot pot? Why are you here?"

Gu Feng's mind raced, his eyes glancing at the woman every now and then.

"Well, a friend of mine went out of town, right? His wife is pregnant and wants to eat hot pot, she really likes it. So he asked me to bring her here for dinner, right, Mrs. Xu?"

[Making friends out of thin air, huh? Your mind works really fast; you can come up with that excuse so easily.]

Xu Jiaojiao touched her belly, her eyes fixed on Liu Zheng, noticing her gorgeous clothes and headdress.

Thinking of their big villa and the house I lived in, a strong sense of resentment welled up inside me.

"Yes, Madam, please don't misunderstand. Brother Feng and my old man have a very good relationship. We've had a few meals together. This time, he had a child late in life, and for some reason, he wanted to eat both sour and spicy food. He also didn't have anyone he could rely on, so he asked Brother Feng to come and keep me company."

"What misunderstanding? Anyway, he comes home late, and it's not the first or second time." Liu Zheng looked at her irritably.

"Dad, look, we only ordered one hot pot base, and we haven't even started eating yet. I'm a little short on cash, could you transfer me some money?"

Gu Feng glared at Gu Yunxi. The 2 million he had just given her had been wasted, not to mention that her brothers hadn't treated her badly.

How much do you want?

"One or two million, I guess. I've spent all the money you gave me before."

"You spendthrift... I mean you should be frugal with money. Your parents' money doesn't grow on trees."

Under pressure from everyone, Gu Feng took out his phone and transferred one million yuan to Gu Yunxi.

Wearing a hat, Xu Jiaojiao was so angry she gritted her teeth. Gu Feng was too generous to these people, giving away a million so readily!

I'll just have to endure it a little longer so I can get his fortune!

"Honey, you two should go home after you've finished eating. I'll take Mrs. Xu home first!"

Go!

Liu Zheng forced out a cold laugh. Fortunately, heaven had spared their family. Yunxi had returned. Otherwise, as Yunxi had said, she and her children would have met a tragic end. Gu Feng, that scumbag, she never imagined that everything back then was his doing. Approaching her and drugging her was all for the sake of obtaining the Liu family's property. She could only dream about it.

After the two left, the group lost their appetite for hot pot and took a car home.

Gu Yunxi started her live stream. It was already 9 p.m. People in this world sleep very late, perhaps because of the nature of their work.

Right now is the best time for everyone to be active online, and a large group of people flooded in as soon as she started broadcasting.

"Good evening everyone! The streamer is now live. If you need divination or fortune telling, you can send a small gift to request a live connection!"

Gu Yunxi placed three copper coins on the table and quietly stared at the camera.

[Wow! Is the streamer this popular? Even the Jiangcheng police are here!]

[Tch, you just realized? I noticed a long time ago. Not only in Jiangcheng, but police in other places were also quietly staking out the live stream.]

[I heard Zhao Huai has gone missing. We don't know if he's alive or dead. Can the streamer guess if he's still alive?]

"He has indeed disappeared. I had previously calculated that his destiny had also vanished. Either he is really dead, or he was saved by some master and changed his identity under a different name. I think the latter is more likely."

He has committed numerous evil deeds, but rest assured, with our beloved people's police, the long arm of the law will eventually catch him. One day he will be punished by law.

[Even the streamer couldn't figure it out; it seems the person behind Zhao Huai is even more unfathomable.]

Upon seeing someone request to connect, Gu Yunxi immediately answered.

"So cute!"

A beautiful little girl, around five years old, appeared on camera. She had bright, lively eyes, two braids, and wore a pretty dress. She looked at the screen with curiosity; this outfit must have been her favorite when she was alive.

After everyone dies, their soul will become the form they liked best before, including children.

"That's weird, why can the phone someone gave me access the internet? Can the lady across the street see me?"

The little girl poked the camera lens, and Gu Yunxi was melted by her cuteness. "Of course I can see you. People who can connect with me are destined to be together, even if they are ghosts."

[Damn, what's going on? What did the streamer connect to? There's nothing on the other end!]

[I have a chill down my spine. Could it be that the person the streamer is connecting with this time isn't... a real person?]

What's there to be afraid of? Even if it's a ghost, so what? Every living being has its purpose. As long as we don't harm it, it won't harm us.

Gu Yunxi saw the comments and tapped the camera lightly with her finger. The little girl appeared in the frame, her face always smiling.

Everyone watched the little girl quietly.

"Youyou, what do you want to be counted as?"

"Big sister, I don't want to think about anything else. Can I go see my mother? She's working in another city. She probably doesn't know that something has happened to me. If I don't see her now, I'm afraid I'll never see her again. I want to talk to her."

What exactly happened? Is the little girl really dead? Who was the evil person who killed her? How could they do such a beautiful child?

Some people spend their entire lives seeking children but get nothing in return, while others, even after having children, behave worse than animals. What has become of this world?

"Everyone is curious about how Youyou died, right? Let me show you. Some people are truly worse than animals. Youyou, close your eyes."

Youyou nodded obediently with her eyes closed, when suddenly the camera angle on her side changed.

The camera captured a small village, and a little girl was walking along the road, carrying a basket of vegetables on her back, struggling to move forward.

"Hurry up, you good-for-nothing! Slow down! Go back and cook! Are you trying to starve me to death?!"

A woman with a fleshy face and sharp, triangular eyes stared at the girl in front of her. She was holding a handful of sunflower seeds, eating and spitting them out while cursing.

The girl was panting heavily, her face flushed, and large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. She didn't even have time to wipe them away, and even her eyebrows were damp with sweat.

"Okay, Grandma. We dug up a lot of vegetables today. We'll be home soon, and I'll cook for you."
