Ms. Yang burst out of the bedroom, carrying a jewelry box. She opened it and shook it, and gold, silver, jade, and diamond jewelry spilled onto the floor, forming a small "jewelry mountain."
"These are all the jewelry you've given me over the years!" she demanded, her gaze fixed intently on her husband. "Now tell me, how many of these things are real?"
Wei Linxin's eyes darted around, too guilty to meet Ms. Yang's gaze. Seeing his reaction, Ms. Yang felt a chill run down her spine.
"You, you tell me!" She suddenly turned to Xu Gui. "Tell me, what in here is real!"
Xu Gui was stunned for a moment, pointing to himself: "Ah, me?"
Ms. Yang nodded: "That's right. Since you could figure out my bankbook was fake, you should be able to figure out the authenticity of these pieces of jewelry, right? Aren't you a fortune teller?"
"Could it be that you actually don't know how to tell fortunes at all, and the bankbook thing was just a lucky guess?"
Okay, Ms. Yang, the enemy, used a provocation tactic, while our Comrade Xu Gui...
"Ha, you say I don't know how to tell fortunes?" A raging fire ignited in Xu Gui's eyes. 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 know how to tell fortunes or not. Humph, there's clearly no one in this world who knows more about fortune telling than me!"
She's a Xuan Turtle, a Xuan Turtle. Do you humans even know what a Xuan Turtle is? Don't talk nonsense.
The person filming this scene thought, "..."
Excellent! Comrade Xu Gui not only instantly fell for the enemy's provocation, but her fighting spirit was also high. Her viewers in the live stream commented: [The kid just can't handle a little provocation!]
[Exactly! Exactly!]
*
At this moment, completely unaware that she had fallen into a trap, Xu Gui was diligently examining the authenticity of each piece of jewelry on the ground—who would have thought that the Xuan Turtle Clan's fortune-telling talent would one day be used to determine authenticity?
If the elders of the Xuan Turtle Clan saw this, they would all say: "It's like a knife cutting your butt, an eye-opener!"
However, it must be said that the Xuan Turtle Clan's talent is incredibly useful. Holding the jewelry in her hand, Xu Gui didn't need to put in much effort; her instincts told her whether it was real or fake.
Next, everyone watched as Xu Gui swiftly picked up the jewelry, then quickly dropped it again, muttering repeatedly, "This...it's fake. This...it's still fake. This...this is fake too!"
Fake, fake, fake... Ms. Yang clutched her chest, feeling she could never bear to hear those two words again.
Compared to Ms. Yang's breakdown, Wei Linxin felt guilty, especially hearing Xu Gui repeatedly say "fake." He felt a chill run down his spine.
Ms. Yang's eyes were red as she looked at her husband, gritting her teeth, "Wei Linxin, you're really something! So not only the betrothal gifts and rings, but even all this jewelry you gave me is fake!"
Cold sweat poured down Wei Linxin's forehead. He stammered, "...Wife, don't listen to this woman's nonsense. I can assure you, this jewelry is absolutely real. 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 so much that I was deceived by you for so long!"
Wei Linxin was speechless. He chuckled dryly and explained, "I really can explain this. I just love you so much, and I'm afraid you'll marry someone else. Without you, I'll die."
He spoke sincerely, and seeing Ms. Yang's expression soften, he quickly said, "I promise you, I will never lie to you again except for this!"
He glanced at Xu Gui, who was still sitting on the ground, and said hatefully, "I know, it's this damn liar who's been driving a wedge between my husband and me... Get out of here, you're not welcome in our house!"
Xu Gui, suddenly targeted,
was speechless. "You're the liar! Your whole family are liars..." Xu Gui roared, standing up and yelling back, "Your family not only deceived Ms. Yang with fake bankbooks and fake jewelry, but you also lied to her that you bought this house, when it's actually rented!"
"Also, Ms. Yang asked you to give her parents 12,000 yuan. You said you would, 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 father, he's a liar too. Don't you feel sorry for your mother? You knew your father was having an affair behind your mother's back, and you still covered for him... just because that mistress's daughter was your high school sweetheart!"
Xu Gui was now in full fighting spirit, indiscriminately attacking Wei Linxin's family. Just as she mentioned Wei Linxin's father, Wei Linxin's parents happened to return home. They were confused and didn't know what had happened at home when they heard Xu Gui mention "mistress," and their eyes immediately widened.
"Wei Zhixiong!" Wei's mother turned and rammed into Wei's father, screaming at the top of her lungs, "You heartless bastard! I bore you children, and you cheated on me with another woman? I'll fight you to the death!"
It all happened so suddenly that Wei's father was hit squarely in the face, immediately feeling a sharp pain in his chest.
"Are you stupid? You believe everything people say?" Wei's father was furious. "I'm with you every day, how could I possibly have a mistress?"
Wei's mother: "...Oh, really?"
At this moment, Xu Gui's cool voice came from the side. She said, "I'm not lying. I also know that mistress's name is Xiaoyue... Auntie, you should know her too, after all, Xiaoyue is an acquaintance of your family."
Xiaoyue?
Wei's mother's eyes flashed with malice. She reached out and scratched Wei's father's face, cursing, "Wei Zhixiong, didn't you say Xiaoyue was just your old neighbor? I'll fight you to the death!"
Soon, Wei's mother's angry curses and Wei's father's screams echoed 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 yelled, "Wei Linxin, you family of swindlers! Go to hell!"
Wei Linxin frantically tried to defend himself, "Wife, let me explain!"
The cameraman, carrying his equipment, was at a loss for where to point his lens; everything seemed so exciting, so captivating. Finally, he could only mutter, "...This is really exciting, hopefully it's not like a TV drama."
Meanwhile, the two police officers beside them were also stunned. As law enforcement officers, they tried their best to mediate the conflict, but they couldn't get a word in edgewise and were almost accidentally scratched.
In the end, they could only cower to the side, resorting to gentle persuasion. Now, the room was even more chaotic.
Over here, the police officer was shouting, "...Stop fighting! Stop arguing!"
Over there, Wei Linxin was shouting, "Wife, let me explain..."
At the door, Mr. and Mrs. Wei were wrestling, cursing at each other as they fought.
Mrs. Wei yelled, "Wei Zhixiong, you heartless bastard!"
Mr. Wei retorted, "You wretched woman, you really went all out!"
The culprit behind all this... was the paparazzi secretly pointing their camera at Xu Gui, who was standing in the living room.
Xu Gui's cheeks were puffed out, but the furrowed brows she had been wearing earlier because of being called a liar had relaxed slightly. She muttered, "...Hmph, I already said I'm not a liar, now you should believe me, right?"
This muttering was easily picked up by the sound-receiving equipment she was wearing. The viewers in the live stream who heard this were: [???] What is this called, a war started by a "liar"?
Finally, this chaos in the Wei family ended with Ms. Yang shouting, "Divorce! I want a divorce!"

Livestream:
[Wonderful, truly wonderful! I've watched several livestreams, and this one is the most exciting. It's like a grand opera! I'll live here from now on; it's as warm and happy as home!]
[The Wei family speaks out: What a joke!]
[Why did you provoke her? See? You angered her, and you didn't get anything good in return.]
[This family is fighting like this; it seems Xu Gui was right. But is this really not scripted? Xu Gui can't possibly be a fortune teller, can he? What do you think about the river?]
[I don't know if it's in the river or not, but I'm having a lot of fun watching it, hahaha]
*
Although Ms. Yang wants a divorce, it can't be done anytime soon, so she simply packed her things and planned to go back to her parents' home.
As for the Wei family of three, they were 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 slightly raised her head and said to Xu Gui, "But I won't thank you, after all, I paid you."
Xu Gui hummed in agreement, not caring.
Suddenly, she thought of 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 her fist, and Ms. Yang suspiciously opened her hand, only to feel a chill in her palm. When Xu Gui moved her hand away, she saw what was in her hand: a small, delicate gold ring, a plain band.
Xu Gui 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 water in her eyes. She clenched her fist, held 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 cameraman asked curiously, "Oh? Have you decided what you want to eat?"
Xu Gui said confidently, "I've already decided!"
Half an hour later, in the hotel lobby, the cameraman, carrying his equipment, watched in disbelief as Xu Gui brought out a steaming bucket of instant noodles from the kitchen.
Cameraman: ? ?
Everyone in the live stream: ? ? ?
This is the big meal you were talking about?!
