Chapter 8
Ms. Yang rushed out of the bedroom, carrying a jewelry box. She opened the box and shook it, and gold, silver, jade, and diamond jewelry all fell to the ground, forming a small "jewelry mountain".
"These are all the pieces of jewelry you've given me over the years!" She stared intently at her husband, asking each word carefully, "Now tell me, how many of these things are real?"
Wei Linxin's eyes darted around, and he didn't dare to look Ms. Yang in the eye because he felt guilty. Seeing his reaction, Ms. Yang felt a chill run down her spine.
"You, you tell me!" She suddenly turned to look at Xu Gui, "Tell me, what in this is real!"
Xu Gui paused for a moment, then pointed to himself: "Ah, me?"
Ms. Yang nodded and said, "That's right. Since you could figure out that my bankbook was fake, you should be able to figure out if these pieces of jewelry are real or fake too, right? Aren't you a fortune teller?"
"Could it be that you actually don't know how to tell fortunes at all, and the bank account incident was just a lucky guess?"
Alright, Ms. Yang from the enemy side has used a provocation tactic, while Comrade Xu Gui from our side...
"Ha, you say I can't tell fortunes?" Xu Gui's eyes blazed with fury. She rolled up her sleeves and sat down in front of the pile of jewelry, starting to pick through the pieces. As she picked, she said, "I'll show you whether I can tell fortunes or not! Humph, there's clearly no one in this world who can tell fortunes better than me!"
She's a Xuan Turtle, a Xuan Turtle! Do you humans even understand Xuan Turtles? You're just spouting nonsense.
The person filming this scene: "..."
Excellent! Comrade Xu Gui not only fell for the enemy's provocation instantly, but she's also highly motivated and her fighting spirit is high. Viewers in her livestream commented: "The kid just can't handle a little bit of provocation!"
That's right, that's right!

At this moment, Xu Gui, completely unaware that he had fallen into a trap, was carefully examining the authenticity of each piece of jewelry on the ground—who would have thought that the Xuan Turtle Clan's talent for fortune-telling would one day be used to determine authenticity?
If the elders of the Xuan Turtle Clan were to witness this scene, they would all exclaim: "It's like a knife scratching your butt! It's an eye-opener!"
However, it must be said that the Xuan Turtle Clan's talent is really useful. With the jewelry in his hand, Xu Gui doesn't need to put in much effort; he instinctively knows whether the item is real or fake.
Next, everyone watched as Xu Gui swiftly picked up the jewelry and then quickly dropped it, muttering to herself, "This is fake, this is still fake, this... this is fake too!"
Fake, fake, fake... Ms. Yang clutched her chest, feeling that she could never hear those two words again.
Compared to Ms. Yang's breakdown, Wei Linxin felt guilty, especially when he heard Xu Gui repeatedly say "fake," he felt his scalp tingle and his back go cold.
Ms. Yang's eyes were red as she looked at her husband and said through gritted teeth, "Wei Linxin, you really are something else! It turns out that not only the betrothal gifts and rings, but even all the jewelry you gave me were fake!"
Wei Linxin was sweating profusely. He stammered, "...Wife, don't listen to this woman's nonsense. I can assure you, all this jewelry is genuine. I bought it from a physical store! If you don't believe me, I still have the receipts! We've been married for so many years, don't you trust me?"
"Believe you?" Ms. Yang laughed angrily. She said, "It's precisely because I trusted you too much that I've been fooled by you for so long!"
Wei Linxin was speechless. He gave a dry laugh and explained, "I can really explain this. It's just that I love you so much, and I'm afraid you'll marry someone else. Without you, I'll die."
He spoke with such sincerity that, seeing a softening in Ms. Yang's expression, he quickly said, "I promise you, I will never lie to you again, except for this matter!"
He glanced at Xu Gui, who was still sitting on the ground, and said hatefully, "I know, it was this damned liar who drove a wedge between my husband and me... Get out of here, you're not welcome in our house!"
Xu Gui, suddenly being targeted: "??"
"You're the liar! Your whole family are liars..." Xu Gui roared, standing up and yelling back, "Your family not only cheated Ms. Yang with fake bankbooks and fake jewelry, but you also lied to her that you bought this house, when in fact it's clearly rented!"
"Also, Ms. Yang asked you to give her parents 12,000 yuan. You said you would give it to them, but you only gave them half. You spent the other half on games..."
"Not only are you a liar, but your mother is a liar too. She wasn't sick at all, but she lied to Ms. Yang, saying she was sick, and coaxed Ms. Yang to take care of her at her bedside and give her money! Then she secretly gave that money to her daughter!"
"As for your dad, he's a liar too. Come to think of it, don't you feel sorry for your mom? You knew perfectly well that your dad was having an affair behind your mom's back, and you still covered for him... just because that mistress's daughter was your high school sweetheart!"
At this moment, Xu Gui was in full fighting power, and she was indiscriminately shooting at Wei Linxin's family. Just as she mentioned Wei Linxin's father, Wei Linxin's parents happened to return home. They were confused and did not know what had happened at home when they heard Xu Gui mention "mistress". Their eyes widened immediately.
"Wei Zhixiong!" Wei's mother turned around and rammed into Wei's father beside her, screaming in anguish, "You heartless bastard! I bore you children, and you cheated on me with another woman? I'll fight you to the death!"
All of this happened so suddenly that Wei's father was caught red-handed by Wei's mother and immediately felt a sharp pain in his chest.
"Are you stupid? You believe everything people say?" Mr. Wei was furious. "I'm with you every day, how could I possibly have a mistress?"
Mother Wei: "...Really?"
At this moment, Xu Gui's cool voice came from the side. She said, "I'm not lying. I also know that the mistress's name is Xiaoyue... Auntie, you should know her too, after all, Xiaoyue is an acquaintance of your family."
Xiaoyue?
With a fierce glint in her eyes, Wei's mother reached out and scratched Wei's father's face, yelling, "Wei Zhixiong, didn't you say Xiaoyue was just your family's former neighbor? I'll fight you to the death!"
Soon, Wei's mother's angry curses and Wei's father's screams came from the doorway.
In the living room, Ms. Yang was stunned, her mind replaying Xu Gui's earlier words. She glared angrily at Wei Linxin and cursed, "Wei Linxin, you family of swindlers, you should just die!"
Wei Linxin hurriedly tried to defend himself: "Wife, let me explain!"
The cameraman, carrying his equipment, was momentarily at a loss for where to point the lens. He felt that everything was exciting and everyone was the main character. In the end, he could only mutter, "...This is really exciting. I hope it's not too good to be true."
Looking at the two police officers next to him, their expressions were blank. As police officers, they tried very hard to mediate the conflict between the two sides, but they couldn't get a word in edgewise and were almost accidentally injured when a hand reached out and scratched them.
In the end, the two could only hide to the side in fear and try to persuade each other with words. Now, the room became even more lively.
Look over here, the police officer is shouting: "...Stop fighting! Stop arguing!"
Wei Linxin shouted, "Wife, let me explain..."
At the door, Mr. and Mrs. Wei were fighting, cursing at each other as they fought.
Wei's mother: "Wei Zhixiong, you heartless bastard!"
Father Wei: "You wretched woman, you really went all out!"
The culprit behind all this... was the paparazzi who secretly pointed their camera at Xu Gui, who was standing in the living room.
Xu Gui puffed out her cheeks, but the furrowed brows that had been tightly knit when she was called a liar had relaxed slightly. She muttered, "...Hmph, I've already said I'm not a liar, now you should believe me, right?"
This muttering was easily picked up because of the sound-receiving equipment she was wearing. The viewers in the live stream who heard it were like: 【???】 What is this called, a war started by a "liar"?
Finally, the chaos in the Wei family ended with Ms. Yang shouting, "Divorce! I want a divorce!"

Live Stream Room:
[Wonderful, truly wonderful! I've watched several live streams, and this one is the most exciting of all. It's like a grand opera performance! I'm going to live here from now on; it feels just like home, so warm and joyful!]
[The Wei family speaks out: This is our living father!]
Why did you provoke her? See? You angered her, and you didn't get anything good out of it.
[This family's fight looks like Xu Gui's prediction came true. But is this really not scripted? Surely Xu Gui isn't actually a fortune teller? What do you think about this river?]
I don't know if it's in the river or not, but I really enjoyed watching it, hahaha.

Although Ms. Yang wanted a divorce, it couldn't be done in a short time, so she packed her things and decided to go back to her parents' home.
As for the Wei family of three, they have been taken to the police station for questioning by two police officers on suspicion of forging bankbooks and fraud.
"...I admit, you do have some skills." Before leaving with her suitcase, Ms. Yang raised her head slightly and said to Xu Gui, "But I won't thank you, after all, I gave you money."
Xu Gui hummed in agreement, seemingly unconcerned.
Suddenly, she remembered something, took something out of her pocket, and handed it to Ms. Yang: "Oh, right, this is for you."
Ms. Yang: "What?"
Xu Gui clenched his fist, and Ms. Yang opened her hand suspiciously, only to feel a chill in her palm. When Xu Gui moved his hand away, she saw what was in her hand: a small, delicate gold ring, plain and simple.
Xu Guidao said, "Of all your jewelry, this is the only one that's real."
Ms. Yang blinked rapidly, and Xu Gui thought he saw a glimmer of tears in her eyes. She clenched her fist, holding the ring in her palm, and whispered, "Thank you..."
Ms. Yang took the ring, dragged her suitcase, and left. Xu Gui watched her taxi leave, stretched, and prepared to go back to the hotel to rest.
"I made five hundred yuan today!" she said happily, clenching her fist. "I've decided, I'm going to treat myself to a big meal!"
The paparazzi asked curiously, "Oh? Have you decided what you want to eat?"
Xu Gui said confidently, "I've already thought it through!"
Half an hour later, in the hotel lobby, the cameraman, carrying his equipment, watched as Xu Gui brought out a steaming bucket of instant noodles from the kitchen.
Follow-up filming: ? ?
Everyone in the live stream: ? ? ?
This is the feast you were talking about?!
