Five million...
Xu Gui admitted that her asking price was indeed a bit of an exorbitant one, but...
"Believe me, you'll get more than your money's worth of this five million, you won't feel cheated at all." She smiled at Wei Yunkai opposite her, her tone extremely confident.
Wei Yunkai's eyes flickered, and he said, "Since that's the case..."
"Yunkai!" Wei Yunqiang shouted sharply, "You haven't really lost your mind and actually believed this woman's words, have you? No, I can't watch you be bewitched by her... Get out of here!"
He glared fiercely at Xu Gui, and actually reached out to grab her.
Seeing this, Fu Xia's eyebrows furrowed, and just as she was about to say something, a voice as loud as a small mountain suddenly blocked their way.
"What are you doing! What are you doing?" Yang Haolin, with his reassuring presence, stood in front of them. Despite the sweltering heat, he was shirtless, and unabashedly displayed his massive biceps to the Wei family, asking with undeniable "convincing" authority:
"What, want to fight?"
Wei Yunqiang's expression froze.
Fu Xia, who had been on guard, watched this scene: "..." Her body slowly relaxed.
"Well, Mr. Wei, have you made up your mind?" Xu Gui slowly peeked out from behind Yang Haolin. She glanced lightly at the cold-faced Wei Yunqiang, then looked at Wei Yunkai: "If you don't make a decision soon, then I'll do as some people wish and leave directly."
She chuckled, "In this situation, people who don't know better might think the owner here is another Mr. Wei."
Xu Gui smiled, her face clearly saying: Yes, I'm trying to sow discord.
"You!" Wei Yunqiang roared in anger.
"Brother!" Wei Yunkai spoke calmly, his voice neither pleased nor angry, "Since when have I needed you to make decisions for me? Even if I'm sick, I'm still Wei Yunkai, not delirious." Wei
Yunqiang's expression hardened. He turned around and said in a low voice, "Yunkai, I didn't mean to make decisions for you. I'm just afraid you'll be misled by unscrupulous people… I'm afraid that if you do this, the people in the company will have opinions about you."
Wei Yunkai replied, "If they have any opinions, they can come directly to me! If it's for my own good or for our company, I, Wei Yunkai, am not the kind of person who can't accept other people's opinions…"
Wei Yunqiang's expression was embarrassed.
Wei Yunkai looked at Xu Gui, his cold expression softening, and said, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Master Xu. My brother was just worried and confused."
Xu Gui glanced at Wei Yunqiang and said softly, "I think this Mr. Wei isn't just worried and confused, but rather made a mistake in his haste, and he's afraid! He's afraid that I'll tell you a secret he's been hiding."
She gently raised her head, staring intently at Wei Yunqiang: "So you're afraid, that's why you're so eager to kick me out!"
"Nonsense!" Wei Yunqiang gritted his teeth, his eyes glaring at Xu Gui. "What secret could I possibly have?"
Xu Gui said casually, "That's a question for you, Mr. Wei. I've calculated that you have many secrets..."
Wei Yunqiang gritted his teeth.
Judging from his expression, if Yang Haolin hadn't been standing in front of Xu Gui and the others, he definitely would have rushed up and slapped Xu Gui.
"So, Mr. Wei, have you thought it through? Will you give me five million and let me give you an answer, or will I just leave?" Xu Gui gave Wei Yunkai two choices.
"Yun Kai…" his wife said softly, "I think my brother is right…"
Wei Yun Kai raised his hand, interrupting his wife. He looked at Xu Gui's figure behind Yang Haolin and laughed loudly, "Since I invited Master Xu here, I naturally have great faith in you! Jun Jun, go, transfer five million to Master Xu now!"
Hearing this, Xu Gui's eyebrows relaxed, and she even found Wei Yun Kai more pleasing to the eye—she liked generous people, and in this case, she could forgive the unpleasantness that had just occurred between them.
She told Yang Haolin to step aside and stop blocking her way.
Now that Wei Yun Kai had spoken, she didn't believe anyone else, including Wei Yunqiang, would dare to do anything. After all, in this family, Wei Yun Kai was the one who had the final say, and he was the master of the house.
Upon hearing that Wei Yunkai was actually going to give Xu Gui five million, the eldest son looked at him, hesitant to speak, "Dad..."
Wei Yunkai looked at his eldest son and smiled, "Junjun, I haven't even handed the company over to you yet, and you're already starting to disobey me?"
The eldest son's expression hardened.
"Since Dad is going to give this person five million, then give it to her!" Wei Yunkai's second son, however, found his older brother somewhat inexplicable and said nonchalantly, "It's just five million, it's not that much."
The eldest brother, being a twin, glared at him and said in a low voice, "What do you know?"
The second son: "I don't know, but do you want to disobey Dad's orders?"
The eldest son: "..."
The eldest son of the Wei family took a breath and reluctantly walked up to Xu Gui.
Xu Gui had Yuan Lu hand over the account number, smiling broadly as she said, "Cheng Hui, five million!"
The brighter her smile, the more gloomy Wei Laoda's expression appeared. However, the gloomier his expression, the better Xu Gui felt—sorry, I just love seeing you guys angry, yet unable to get rid of me, and still having to give me money.
When the five million arrived, Xu Gui looked at the number and felt she could practically see herself getting closer to her goal of one hundred million, her mood soaring even higher.
"...The answer to the question Mr. Wei asked earlier, I can tell you now!" Xu Gui's attitude towards the person paying was very good. Her gaze swept over the three adult Wei brothers, and she said, "The answer is..."
"None of them are the most suitable!"
"...?"
Wei Yun Kai frowned. "What do you mean?"
Xu Gui kindly explained, "Mr. Wei, the question you asked was, among your three sons, who is the most suitable person to manage your family company? My answer is: none of them are suitable!"
"What did you say?" Wei Lao Er, who had just been indifferent, was now bothered, even jumping up and down. He pointed at Xu Gui and cursed, "You damn liar, say it again?"
Xu Gui looked at him, her face devoid of the smile she wore when facing her "sugar daddy," only coldness on her face. Her voice was equally cold as she said, "I'm sorry, but no matter how many times I say it, it's still the same answer. None of you three brothers are the most suitable candidates to take over the company!"
Wei Lao Er flew into a rage, cursing at Xu Gui, "Who do you think you are? My dad gave you a bit of respect, and you really think you can be the boss of our family?"
Fu Xia frowned upon hearing this.
She had heard before that Wei Lao Er had a bad temper, being irritable and easily angered. Now it seemed that assessment was too high, and she wondered how much of his father's reputation was at stake.
She looked at Xu Gui, expecting her to at least be angry, but instead, she saw a smile on her lips, as if she were in a good mood.
Fu Xia leaned closer and whispered, "Why are you laughing? He insulted you like that, aren't you angry?" She was practically pointing her finger at Xu Gui's nose and yelling.
Fu Xia didn't remember Xu Gui being the type to let people insult her without retaliating, so her smile was quite meaningful.
Xu Gui, hearing her words, smiled and glanced at her, also whispering, "I don't want to laugh either, but when I think about what I'm about to say, I can't help but laugh."
Fu Xia: ??
She gasped, looking at Xu Gui with horror.
Based on her understanding of Xu Gui, the happier Xu Gui was now, the more shocking the "revelation" she was about to reveal would be. Now that she was laughing so happily, what she was about to say...
Fu Xia couldn't help but look at Wei Lao Er, who was still spouting nonsense, with pity. Well,
serves him right. "Lao Er, shut up!" Wei Yun Kai frowned, rubbing his temples, clearly also having a headache from his second son's incessant chatter.
His wife reached out and gently rubbed his head.
Wei Yunkai exhaled with his eyes closed, and when he opened them again, he looked at Xu Gui and asked his second question: "Master Xu, if I really had to choose one of my children to give my company to, which one would be the best choice?"
Xu Gui: "Your daughter."
Wei Yunkai: ?
"My daughter, she's five years old..." he couldn't help but say.
Xu Gui nodded and said, "I know, but only your youngest daughter is the most suitable. Your other four children are either spendthrifts, and the company will undoubtedly go bankrupt if given to them; or they are not your flesh and blood. Are you sure you want to hand over your company to four outsiders?"
Fu Xia had been nodding repeatedly as she listened, thinking to herself: That's right, those three spendthrifts are not worthy at all!
Then, after Xu Gui finished speaking, she subconsciously nodded twice, and then, on the third nod, she suddenly realized something, turned her head sharply to look at Xu Gui, and her face showed horror—Xu Gui, did he just say something terrible?
"..."
At this moment, the scene seemed to have been paused, falling into complete silence. Everyone stared at Xu Gui in shock.
Xu Gui had personally demonstrated how to utter the most shocking words in the most casual tone.
At this moment, Wei Yunkai felt an utterly absurd feeling. He looked at Xu Gui and asked, "What...what did you just say?"
"I said, none of your four sons are your biological sons!" Clearly, Xu Gui didn't mind repeating herself. She looked at Wei Wenqiang and said, "Didn't you know? You have azoospermia, making it difficult for you to have your own children."
Wei Yunkai was stunned, unsure whether to be shocked and angry that his four sons weren't his biological sons, or shocked that he had azoospermia... Suddenly, he abruptly looked at the woman beside him, grabbed her wrist in her panicked eyes, and demanded, "You betrayed me?"
His eyes blazed with fury.
The woman's eyes welled with tears, her expression delicate and innocent: "No, I didn't, she's slandering me..."
Tears streamed down her face as she said aggrievedly, "Jun Jun and the others are just like you, how could they not be your children? And you know, their blood type is the same as yours."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yun Kai's anger-fueled mind gradually calmed down.
He thought of the children who looked remarkably like him, and began to doubt Xu Gui's words... If these four children weren't his, how could they look so much like him?
No one noticed that the eldest son of the Wei family suddenly turned deathly pale after hearing Xu Gui's words, until he heard Wei Yun Kai's wife's words and suddenly came to his senses.
"Yes, Dad, we look so much like you, how could we not be your children?" he said anxiously, as if he had grasped some crucial evidence.
Wei Lao Er nodded, "That's right... Dad, I think this woman is a complete liar, you can't believe a word she says!"
Wei Lao San, who hadn't spoken until now, also said, "Dad, Mom has been married to you for so many years, you shouldn't doubt her!" His gaze towards Xu Gui now held a hint of hostility.
Wei Yun Kai silently looked at Xu Gui.
"Even if they look like you, it doesn't prove they're your children," Xu Gui blinked. "After all, there are many people in this world who look like you. If you don't believe me, you can get a paternity test!"
Xu Gui sighed inwardly, his face showing distress.
He didn't know what was wrong with these people; every time he told them the children weren't their biological offspring, they were filled with doubt and didn't believe him at all... But he never lied.
"..." Wei Yun Kai understood Xu Gui's words. He turned again to look at Wei Yun Qiang, who stood there, his face covered in cold sweat.
At this moment, Wei Yunqiang's previous efforts to prevent him from keeping Xu Gui flashed through his mind, and these actions seemed to be imbued with subtle, embarrassing implications.
Since Wei Yunqiang remained silent, it was Wei Yunkai who had to speak first.
"Brother," he called out, "Is what Master Xu said true?"
Wei Yunqiang naturally denied it, saying, "Yun Kai, this woman is clearly slandering me. She must be holding a grudge against me for trying to kick her out, so she's saying these things to get back at me!" Hearing this
, Xu Gui was displeased. She said, "You're insulting my profession. I'm a fortune teller, not a fraudster. I wouldn't lie to deceive people! In our line of work, if you lie to your employer, you'll be struck by lightning!"
She snorted, "Besides, with medical technology so advanced now, whether you're father and son or not isn't something I can decide with just my words. You can get a paternity test, and it'll be clear… But, Mr. Wei, do you dare to do it?"
Cold sweat poured down Wei Yunqiang's forehead.
Wei Yunkai witnessed this scene, his anger intensifying. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Do it! I'll call the doctor to do the paternity test right now!"
"No!" A pair of hands grabbed his arm. Wei Yunkai turned his head and saw his wife of nearly thirty years looking at him with teary eyes. She shook her head and cried, "No, don't call the doctor..."
Her words were almost an admission of what Xu Gui had said.
Wei Yunkai closed his eyes in anguish.
Beside him, the three Wei brothers were stunned... no, the second and third brothers were stunned. The eldest brother's face showed panic. He instinctively looked at Wei Yunqiang, but Wei Yunqiang's expression was no better, his face also filled with panic.
Fu Xia had expected that what Xu Gui was about to say would be explosive, but she hadn't expected it to be this explosive.
If only one or two children weren't Uncle Wei's, it would be one thing, but four sons weren't...
"Is this what you were saying?" she asked Xu Gui softly, her tone filled with shock.
Xu Gui smiled and looked at her, saying, "Isn't it funny? Look, they've all stopped laughing." She slightly raised her chin, gesturing to Wei Yunqiang and the three Wei brothers.
"It's because they're not laughing that I feel like laughing," she said.
Fu Xia: "..." It's confirmed. You can't afford to offend the fortune teller. He can dig up secrets you've kept hidden for who knows how many years. Just a few random revelations are enough to make you faint.
Wei Yunqiang and his group are a perfect example.
But strangely, Xu Gui smiled, then suddenly sighed. Fu Xia was suddenly confused.
*
"Why?"
Wei Yunkai looked at his wife with disappointment and pain, questioning her, "Why did you do this? Haven't I been good to you? Haven't I been good enough to you all?"
Wei Yunkai's wife, surnamed Huang, named Huang Ying, was his college classmate. They married right after graduation and supported him in building their current business. Their relationship had always been very good.
In Wei Yunkai's eyes, they had been loving for so many years, unlike other couples who appeared loving on the surface but secretly pursued their own interests. It was true love, genuine affection.
But now, he was being told that none of his children were his own.
Wait!
Wei Yunkai suddenly realized that his twin sons were born in the second year of his marriage, meaning... his wife had cheated on him after only a year of marriage?
"You two were already having an affair so early?" Wei Yunkai roared in fury, a surge of anger rushing to his head, causing his vision to blur. He closed his eyes and fell straight backward.
His wife panicked: "Yunkai!"
"Dad!"
"Yunkai..."
The other members of the Wei family rushed over in alarm, looking at the seemingly unconscious Wei Yunkai with concern or some other ulterior motive.
Fortunately, Wei Yunkai was only momentarily blinded by anger. After a few seconds, he regained his senses and opened his eyes to see the people around him.
His wife, sons, brother... these were all family.
Wei Yunkai was enraged, almost fainting again. He shoved them away: "Get out of my way! You adulterous couple, you bastards!"
Immediately, Wei's three sons looked hurt: "Dad..."
Wei Yunkai forced a smile.
Wei Yunkai's wife trembled, swaying precariously, her face contorted with grief and indignation.
Xu Gui, watching this scene, said calmly, "Why are you blaming your wife? If anyone's at fault, it's your Wei family. The only one without fault is your wife."
Wei Yunkai found it absurd. Pointing at his wife, he said, "She cheated on me, and the man she cheated with was my older brother! Ha, it's ridiculous! We've only been married for a year, and she's already slept with my brother! And she's not at fault?"
If his wife's affair had been with a stranger, Wei Yunkai might not have been so grief-stricken, but the adulterer was his own brother… Wei Yunkai gritted his teeth to powder.
Xu Gui sneered, saying, "She cheated on you because your mother and brother forced her! This is because you, as her husband, failed to protect her, allowing her to be humiliated by your mother and brother. Don't you deserve to be cheated on?"
Wei Yunkai: "...What do you mean?"
Xu Gui smiled mockingly, looking at Huang Ying and softly asking, "Ms. Huang, do you mind if I tell you about this? Don't worry, I've already turned off the live stream."
Hearing this, Fu Xia glanced at the camera in Yang Haolin's hand in surprise, then looked up... Yang Haolin immediately winked at her.
Fu Xia: She didn't even know when Xu Gui had told Yang Haolin to turn off the live stream.
Huang Ying stared at her blankly, then suddenly smiled sadly.
"Speak, what can't be said?" she said, her face pale, "In this world, from the very beginning, I had no choice..."
Xu Gui sighed.
She looked at Wei Yunkai and said, "You want to know what happened, right? Then I'll tell you."
This matter was more disgusting than anyone could imagine.
Wei Yunkai started from scratch. His mother was a feudal and cruel old woman. Not long after Huang Ying and Wei Yunkai got married, she began pressuring Huang Ying to have a child.
However, a year passed, and Huang Ying still hadn't conceived. By this time, Wei Yunkai's mother's attitude towards Huang Ying had become extremely hostile.
"You're always running around working, but you don't know that your wife is being cruelly mistreated by your mother at home," Xu Gui said with a cold smile, looking at Wei Yunkai. "No, you do know. Ms. Huang has told you, but you didn't take it to heart. You only told her to be tolerant and not to hold it against you."
Hearing this, Wei Yunkai's eyes flickered, and Huang Ying, probably thinking of those days, couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
"Because your mother kept pressuring you to have children, Ms. Huang dragged you to get checked out, and the results showed you had azoospermia, making it very difficult for you to have children..." Xu Gui said calmly, "and this result led to Ms. Huang's tragic death later."
At that time, Wei Yunkai's career was already showing some promise; he was not yet thirty, but he had already earned a considerable amount of money.
After learning that Wei Yunkai would have difficulty having children, his mother had other plans.
"...She said that the Wei family line couldn't be broken, Wei Yunkai couldn't be without descendants, but Wei Yunqiang was your older brother, and his bloodline was also part of your Wei family's lineage." Huang Ying, who hadn't spoken until now, suddenly interrupted Xu Gui, her voice a mix of laughter and tears, "So, she forced me to sleep with Wei Yunqiang. I refused, so your mother locked me in the room and let Wei Yunqiang rape me."
Brother-in-law and sister-in-law...
Ha, this is truly absurd, but such an absurd thing actually happened.
Huang Ying would never forget that night. She remembered Wei Yunqiang's狰狞 (zhengning, meaning ferocious or hideous) face, and her mother-in-law standing guard at the door, chaining it tightly shut. Inside, she pounded on the door, crying and begging her mother-in-law to let her out.
In that moment, she was utterly helpless. Her husband, now a man she looked at with shame and resentment, was out there living a carefree life, pursuing his so-called lucrative business.
And after that day, this happened more than once. Whenever he had the chance, Wei Yunqiang would grope her. Whenever Wei Yunkai wasn't home, he would force Huang Ying to have sex with him.
As for Huang Ying's mother-in-law, she was always home, but she seemed to relish everything Huang Ying suffered.
Huang Ying chuckled strangely, "Finally, I'm pregnant! Haha, you were so happy when you found out I was pregnant, shouting that you had a son, and even bought me a villa..."
At this moment, she actually laughed, looking at Wei Yunkai, a twisted joy appearing on her gentle and charming face. She said, "You know, seeing how happy you were back then made me happy too!" "
Ha, I thought to myself, you, Wei Yunkai, think you're so smart, smarter than anyone else in the world, but you don't know, the child in my belly isn't yours!"
"And not just this one, the next ones, and the next ones... they're not yours either! Because you, Wei Yunkai, have azoospermia, you'll never be able to have children!"
Huang Ying suddenly burst into loud giggles, tears streaming down her face.
