Chapter 177: Always Treating Her Like A Child

Because it was her first live stream on the new account, the platform provided traffic support. After about ten minutes, several viewers started entering the live chat.

“Huh, is this a new streamer? Why is she wearing a mask? Is she that ugly?”

“Even if only half of her face is visible, just look at those beautiful eyes. How can you say such things?

“But the angle the streamer is using is quite unusual, shooting from bottom to top. It’s a terrifying perspective!”

Upon seeing the debate on the screen, Lu Miao spoke up directly. “I just don’t want my family to know, that’s all.”

“Wow, the streamer’s voice is so pleasant to listen to. I can tell she must be a gorgeous woman!”

Meanwhile, stars continued to shower down like flowers in the sky.

“Is the streamer a study blogger? Is she teaching people how to do homework live?”

Lu Miao picked up her pen and tapped on the introduction displayed on the screen. “She’s a metaphysics blogger who does ghost expulsions, fortune-telling, and feng Shui readings.”

“Oh wow, the streamer doesn’t seem to be very old. Can someone so young really understand metaphysics? Maybe she just picked up a few things from under a bridge and came out to deceive people?”

“By the way, how much does it cost for a reading?”

Lu Miao opened the gift list and checked. “It’s the price of one Angel’s Descent.”

One Angel’s Descent was worth 5,000 units, which was peanuts compared to the hundreds of thousands or even millions she used to charge for her services. But she had no choice; she was broke now.

“Oh my god, that’s way too expensive! With that money, I could buy a yearly subscription under the bridge and still have some left.”

“This is clearly a scam! Let’s all leave, guys.”

In the live chat room, there were already dozens of people, but most of them were just idle chatters and onlookers, with very few actually placing orders.

Lu Miao spoke directly, “If the reading is inaccurate, I’ll refund three times the amount. ”

“666, Impressive!”

“I’m in for one unit. Who wants to crowdfund with me? In case the streamer turns out to be a fraud, we can make a fortune!”

As the group laughed and joked, the screen suddenly dimmed, and then an angel with fluttering wings appeared in the center.

“Whoa, who’s this rich guy with too much money to spare! I’ll donate 50 units.

Let me help you spend it.”

Lu Miao checked the gifter’s account and was astonished. Then she immediately initiated a video call with this account.

A disheveled man in his thirties appeared on the screen, with bruises on his forehead and at the corners of his eyes. He looked haggard.

The table beside him was piled up with instant noodle bowls and cigarette packs, and his home appeared dirty and unkempt.

“Brother, even in your situation, you’re still giving money to scammers? Have you lost your mind?”

“After spending this money, will you still have enough to eat?”

The man smiled nonchalantly. “I’ve already lost everything. My family is gone, my parents passed away, my wife took the kids and left, and I owe millions to others. Instead of having creditors show up at my door every day, I’d rather spend all the remaining money freely. Then I can leave this world without any burdens and join my parents.”

He picked up a beer from the table, took a sip, and his eyes turned red.

He used to be a successful person with afulfilling career and a happy family. But who could have predicted that in less than a year, he would lose everything.

“Brother, please don’t lose hope. Even if you lose money, you can always earn it back. As long as you’re alive, there are infinite possibilities.” The man chuckled and shook his head. He clicked on the Angel’s Descent icon again, but this time it showed that his balance was insufficient.

He clicked on a few more bouquets of flowers until he had exhausted his funds, laughing heartily. “Farewell, my friends. I spent this money just to find someone to accompany me on my final journey. I have no specific requests, and I kindly ask that you not trouble the streamer.”

With those words, he reached out to end the livestream.

“Wait a moment.”

Lu Miao spoke up immediately. “You were deceived into signing a false contract, which led to the company’s bankruptcy, right?”

The man’s face changed instantly. “Yes.”

Lu Miao continued, “The person who deceived you took your money and disappeared. They still haven’t been found.”

“That’s right,” the man replied bitterly. “I paid him, but he didn’t deliver the goods and vanished. As soon as I found out, I reported it to the police, but it’s been a year, and there are still no leads. I can’t hold on any longer.”

With a deficit of tens of millions in funds, the company’s cash flow quickly became a problem, and loans from banks were abruptly cut off. He sold off everything he could from his home, and soon after, his wife left, taking the children with her. In a desperate attempt to compensate for his losses, his parents secretly scavenged for recyclables, only to tragically perish in a car accident.

He truly didn’t know how he could continue to persevere.

“I’ll send you a rough location of where he is now in a private message. Gather your people and go find him. We will apprehend him by tomorrow at the latest.

Trust me, your life is about to take a turn for the better.”

As Lu Miao spoke, she simultaneously opened the private message and sent him the approximate location of the scammer.

“No way, can she really figure that out? Is this guy some kind of celebrity, and the streamer is just looking it up online?”

“If the streamer deceives him after all this, she’ll be struck by divine retribution. ”

“Whether it’s accurate or not, we’ll find out tomorrow. I’ve already sent you the location. Give yourself another chance to witness the outcome before making a decision. I’ve only provided one reading for you, so I’ll only charge you for a single divination fee. You’ve gifted two Angel’s Descents and three bouquets of roses. I’ll contact the platform to refund the excess gifts to you.”

While Lu Miao spoke, a sudden knocking sound reverberated from the door.

She hastily minimized the livestream window, rose from her seat, removed her mask, and opened the door.

Gu Shiyan stood on the other side, clutching a KFC family bucket and a cup of hot milk tea. He narrowed his eyes and casually glanced over her shoulder into the room. “It’s late, is anyone here? I thought I heard you talking to someone outside.”

Lu Miao, with a straight face, replied, “You heard wrong. I was just bored and watching short videos. I had the volume up a bit.”

Gu Shiyan raised an eyebrow slightly, neither believing nor disbelieving her.

He handed over the food, saying, “Auntie Xiu told me you didn’t have a good appetite for dinner and hadn’t eaten much. So I brought you something that kids usually like…”

He paused, seemingly thinking of how to describe it. “Junk food? To improve your appetite.”

Lu Miao was speechless and dissatisfied. “I’m in my final year of high school!!! I’m not a kid!!!”

Why did this guy always treat her like a child? Moreover, she wasn’t lacking an appetite; she was worried about money!

The evil capitalist!

Gu Shiyan looked at her annoyed expression, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. Unable to resist, he raised his hand and playfully ruffled her hair, whispering softly.

“Alright, I understand. Not a little friend, but a grown-up friend..”
