Ma Zhenxing tugged at Fu Yue's sleeve, and Fu Yue swallowed back the sarcastic words she wanted to say.
“Child, we really are your parents. Why don’t we get a DNA test done?”
Xiao Li sneered, "Let me reiterate, I'm over eighteen and I don't need my parents anymore. You two should never appear in front of me again, or don't blame me for being impolite."
Fu Yue immediately lost her temper, "You're quite arrogant. Is this how children treat their elders?"
Xiao Li laughed in anger, "You can put on airs in front of whoever is your elder, don't embarrass yourselves in front of me."
"you……"
Fu Yue was so angry she couldn't speak.
Ma Zhenxing also realized Xiao Li's attitude; there was really no way to ease the tension.
They came full of hope, and left in anger and frustration.
When they left, Xiaoli gave each of them a bad luck charm.
These two people are so annoying. The original owner was really unlucky; everyone he met was a bad person.
Xiao Li eventually joined the Taoist Association because Dong Linzhuo encountered a difficult situation, and only Xiao Li's talisman could suppress it.
Dong Linzhuo pestered Xiaoli every day, asking her to draw talismans. It concerned the well-being of all people, so she had no choice but to do it.
Therefore, she only joined the Taoist Association after she put forward two conditions.
First, her personal freedom cannot be restricted. She doesn't want to work a 9-to-5 job every day, but of course, her salary cannot be reduced.
Secondly, she will help when the Taoist Association needs her, but the association cannot force her to do so.
Dong Linzhuo readily agreed, but he had a condition: Xiaoli had to submit some talismans every month as a task. Of course, the association would provide the materials and a fee.
Xiao Li was very satisfied; all she had to do was lift a finger, and there was no problem.
?
Ma Zhenxing was unwilling to accept his fate, so he used sweet words to trick Fu Yue into giving him all her money for investment projects.
Unfortunately, he was cursed with bad luck and never succeeded; all of Fu Yue's money went down the drain.
The family can't even afford the water, electricity, and gas bills for their apartment anymore, and they've also fired their nanny; they can't afford to use the facilities anymore.
Fu Yue was very angry, but Ma Zhenxing was good with words and coaxed her back in a few days.
Ma Qinting, who is still in school, just wants to finish her university studies and find a good job. She is too afraid to go home and has applied to live on campus.
Because she discovered that her father, who loved her the most, was becoming increasingly terrifying.
The more successful Ma Zhenxing was in the past, the more resentful he is of Ma Qinting now.
After Fu Yue learned that she was not her biological daughter but an illegitimate child, she became hostile towards her.
With no classes in the afternoon, Ma Qinting stayed in her dorm room. She didn't want to go home and could only reminisce about the past.
The bell rang, startling her.
"Dad, is something the matter?"
My dad was especially gentle on the other end of the phone today.
"Come back tonight, and I'll take you somewhere tomorrow."
Ma Qinting had no choice but to agree.
The family enjoyed a sumptuous dinner that evening; it had been a long time since the house had been this lively since the investment failed.
“Tingting, your family is struggling financially, so you shouldn’t continue your studies. I have a friend who works in Vietnam, and he said he can introduce you there. The salary is very high, and the work is simple and easy to learn.”
Ma Qinting couldn't believe it. She was still so young, and she was already expected to work and support the family?
"Dad, I still want to finish college before I start working."
Fu Yue snorted coldly, "You've been eating for free for so many years, it's time to give back to your family. Now that the family has no money, can't you think about the family's future?"
Ma Qinting dared not speak again, and Ma Zhenxing put down the bowl.
"It's decided then. Go back to your room and pack your things. You'll go with him tomorrow. I'll handle things at the school."
Ma Qinting burst into tears. She didn't argue and obediently went back to her room.
She couldn't stay in this house any longer; she had to leave.
Ma Qinting packed her things, preparing to sneak away in the middle of the night.
"Bang bang bang..."
Ma Qinting opened the door, and there was Ma Zhenxing, who brought the milk.
"Tingting, drink your milk and go to sleep. Dad will take you tomorrow morning."
Ma Qinting took the milk and drank it. She drinks a glass every night before bed, because she heard it's good for the skin.
"Thank you, Dad. I'm going to bed now."
"Um."
Ma Zhenxing watched his daughter close the door, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. Tingting was still the most obedient.
When Ma Qinting woke up, she found herself on a boat. She had already embarked on a journey to the Yue Kingdom with Ma Zhenxing's good friend.
Looking at the vast ocean, she didn't know what the future held or what to do; her heart was filled with regret.
I regret not leaving sooner; I hate that couple for being so heartless.
Ma Zhenxing counted the banknotes in his hand, his eyes crinkling into slits with laughter. He knew exactly what his daughter was up to the moment she blinked.
So he struck first, drugged her, and then sent her over.
Fu Yue held the farewell letter and clicked her tongue a few times.
"I knew she was heartless; she even tried to leave without saying goodbye."
Ma Zhenxing put the money away, and now he had capital to invest again.
"My friend has already said that he'll work there for three years first and pay me a year's salary in advance. Of course I'll take this opportunity, it's such a good deal."
Three years go by quickly; Tingting will only be twenty-one when she comes back, which is just in time for her wedding.
Fu Yue remained noncommittal, but said that as long as she had money to spend, that was fine.
Xiao Li learned all this from 123, and she wasn't surprised at all.
Ma Zhenxing is a cold-hearted person who only loves himself. He could have raised both daughters together, but he chose to sacrifice one daughter for the sake of marital stability.
He had long been in a vulnerable position and must have harbored a lot of resentment towards Fu Yue, but had nowhere to vent it. That's why he chose to sacrifice the original owner and take revenge on Fu Yue in this way.
Unfortunately, Fu Yue was also a selfish person. She lived a refined life and would never be sad for a child she had no feelings for.
Ma Zhenxing's investment, unsurprisingly, failed again. He was pulling at his hair, completely at a loss.
Thinking of what his friend had said, he hesitated for a moment. Prices in Yue were low and money was easy to make, but he had never been there and didn't know if it was a good investment, nor did he have any capital.
Fu Yue brought over some fruit. "Ugh, these strawberries are so hard to clean, and they're expensive too. I'll just eat apples next time."
She had never washed fruit before, nor had she ever bought any.
Ma Zhenxing pondered for a moment and made up his mind.
A few days later, Fu Yue also appeared on the ship bound for Yue. She kept cursing, but unfortunately Ma Zhenxing couldn't hear her.
Ma Zhenxing sold his apartment and took all the money to go to Vietnam with his best friend.
He woke up to find himself on a ship, and he too had become one of those who went to Yue Kingdom to pan for gold.
Xiao Li finally has some peace and quiet and can focus on her career.
Xiao Li is very low-key. She uses all her money for charity, just like before, keeping a close eye on every penny to ensure it is put to good use.
Her shop on North Street was doing better and better because there were no counterfeit products there, and more and more customers were coming in.
If you're lucky, you might even buy a talisman, which can be a lifesaver.
Unfortunately, the shopkeeper will only take out the amulet after personally seeing the person, so only those with the right destiny can buy it.
As the person in charge of the Taoist Association and Xiao Li, Dong Linzhuo valued Xiao Li more and more the more he spent time with her, and grew to like her more and more.
He returned to his family and selected the three most outstanding individuals to keep by his side, hoping that Xiao Li would take a liking to them.
Unfortunately, three months later, Xiao Li was seen with an ordinary person.
If Ma Zhenxing were here, he would definitely recognize that this man is his 'good friend' Wang Yueze.
Wang Yueze is a mercenary. Xiao Li saved his life at the border, and he has been following Xiao Li ever since.
Throughout her life, Xiao Li never married, and Wang Yueze always stayed by her side, helping her with her affairs and relieving her worries.
Fifty years later, Wang Yueze passed away, and Xiao Li left this world.
