The Fake Rich Daughter Knows a Bit of Metaphysics and Leads Her Whole Family to Become Wealthy - Chapter 10

Chapter 10: It’s Over, My Sister Has Become a Swindler

Jiang Zhiyǔ resigned from his company and started to busy himself with starting his own business. Jiang Zhixu stayed at home with Qin Mei and Jiang Shengnan, helping to take care of Jiang Zhilei.

“Third brother, it’s time to eat,” Jiang Zhixu said, bringing Jiang Zhilei his meals on time. Seeing his complexion improve day by day, she couldn’t help but feel happy.

Jiang Zhilei propped himself up on his arms, “Thanks, Zhizhi.”

“No problem, it’s what I should do,” Jiang Zhixu replied, holding the bowl and chopsticks.
Suddenly, the chopsticks dropped, and as she bent to pick them up, she knocked against the bowl.

Jiang Zhilei instinctively reached out to catch it, and in his haste, he felt his leg move.

He looked at his leg in shock and amazement.

“Third brother, I’ll get a broom to sweep the floor. You can use a spoon to eat for now,” Jiang Zhixu said, getting up to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Zhilei, who grabbed her wrist.

“Zhizhi, my leg…”

“Leg? What’s wrong with your leg?” Jiang Zhixu asked anxiously.

Did something go wrong?

Jiang Zhilei’s eyes welled up with tears as he exclaimed, “It can move! I just discovered it!”

“Really? I can feel it!”

Jiang Zhixu saw how excited he was and quickly calmed him down. “Third brother, don’t get excited. I’ll go call mom.”

Half an hour later, Jiang Zhixu and Qin Mei took Jiang Zhilei to the hospital for an examination.

The doctor reviewed his medical history and looked at the current test results, hardly believing his eyes.

“A miracle! A miracle indeed!”

A person who had been paralyzed for half a year had suddenly shown signs of life.

“His body is improving, and if he recovers properly, he’ll be able to walk within three months.”

Qin Mei was so excited that she cried, and she immediately called Jiang Shengnan. “Husband, Xiao Lei’s leg is improving.”

Jiang Shengnan was also overjoyed when he heard the news. “That’s great, that’s great. Xiao Lei is only 20 years old, he shouldn’t be bedridden for the rest of his life.”

After hanging up the phone, Qin Mei grabbed Jiang Zhixu’s hand. “Zhizhi, you’re our lucky star.”

“As soon as you came back, Xiao Lei’s leg started to improve.”

“Thank you, Zhizhi. Mom thanks you for coming back.”

“Don’t cry, mom. Don’t cry,” Jiang Zhixu wiped away her tears. “I’m your daughter, it’s only right that I come home.”

“Let’s not cry. We’ll have a good life together as a family.”

“Yes, let’s not cry. This is a joyful occasion, mom shouldn’t cry.” Qin Mei wiped away her tears and sat down beside Jiang Zhilei, holding his hand.

Jiang Zhilei was also happy, his eyes were red-rimmed. After exchanging a few words with Qin Mei, he looked at Jiang Zhixu.

He was fiddling with a triangular amulet in his hand, and he couldn’t shake off the feeling that his leg’s improvement was related to Zhizhi.

But he had no evidence.

After returning home, Jiang Zhilei started his rehabilitation training in earnest, aiming to stand up as soon as possible.

In the evening, the whole day sat together for dinner, laughing and smiling.

Jiang Zhiyǔ shared some good news – his company was finally set up.

Qin Mei was so happy that she cried tears of joy, unable to speak.

Jiang Shengnan took a sip of wine and laughed heartily.

Jiang Zhixu leaned on her hand, watching them with a warm feeling in her heart.

[Little Eight, it’s really great like this]

688 scratched its head in the system space. [Wasn’t the host like this in the Bai family too?]

[No, the Bai family is actually very cold. They only care about benefits, and they’ll sacrifice anything related to benefits.]

When thinking of the Bai family, the smile in Jiang Zhixu’s eyes faded a bit. But when she thought of Bai Liuli being treated like a treasure by the Bai family, she couldn’t help but smile.

At 9 PM, Jiang Zhiyǔ and Jiang Zhiyu helped Jiang Zhilei with his evening routine.

After washing up, Jiang Zhilei leaned against the bed and thought about what happened during the day.
He couldn’t help but say, “Big brother, second brother, I don’t know if it’s just my illusion, but I feel like my body has been improving every day since I got this amulet.”

He opened his hand, revealing a small triangular amulet in his palm.

“Do you guys think I’m just imagining things?”

“No,” Jiang Zhiyu said, pulling out a tissue from his pocket. The tissue wrapped around a clump of ashes.

“This is my amulet.”

“What?” Jiang Zhilei and Jiang Zhiyǔ were shocked. “How did it turn into ashes?”

Jiang Zhiyu held the tissue. “Today, after work, I was getting into my car when a motorcycle suddenly lost control and sped towards me. I reacted quickly, but the car barely missed me.”

“It was like something deflected the wheel.”

“Just 2 centimeters, and I would have been in the hospital.”

“What’s the connection between that and the amulet?” Jiang Zhiyǔ still didn’t understand.

Jiang Zhiyu explained, “I was still shaken, but I felt a burning sensation in my chest. When I took it out, the amulet was glowing. But before I could take a closer look, it turned into ashes.”

“I’ve checked, and the amulet is supposed to bring peace and safety. It’s a type of talisman commonly used by Taoist practitioners. Those masters sell them for at least 5,000 yuan each.”

“Second brother means that this amulet might be real?” Jiang Zhilei murmured, still looking at the amulet in his hand with some skepticism.

“Yes,” Jiang Zhiyu said, holding the ashes of the amulet. He felt a sense of relief; without the amulet, he might not have escaped.

“Where did Zhizhi get this amulet?” Jiang Zhilei asked.

Jiang Zhiyu replied, “A temple. I don’t think she mentioned which one.”

“I’ll go ask her.”

“Wait,” Jiang Zhiyǔ called out to him. “I’ll go.”

Before they could say anything else, Jiang Zhiyǔ headed towards Jiang Zhixu’s room.

“Why is big brother in such a hurry? And why does he look upset?” Jiang Zhilei wondered.

Jiang Zhiyu smiled, thinking he knew the reason. “He’s probably unhappy because we both have amulets and he doesn’t.”

“Let’s get some rest. We can talk about it tomorrow. Your task now is to focus on recovering,” Jiang Zhiyu said.

“Okay,” Jiang Zhilei said obediently, no longer arguing like he used to. He knew his leg was improving, so he didn’t protest.

On the other side, Jiang Zhiyǔ knocked on Jiang Zhixu’s door and entered when she responded. But to his surprise, he saw Jiang Zhixu sitting at her desk, writing and drawing.

“What’s going on?” Jiang Zhiyǔ asked, noticing that Jiang Zhixu seemed engrossed in her work.

“Zhizhi, what are you doing so late at night?”

As he walked closer, he saw the vermilion brush, yellow talisman paper…

“This…”

Jiang Zhixu looked up with a grin. “Hehe, big brother, I’m just doodling.”

She put down the brush and handed him a freshly drawn talisman. “Brother, here you go. This talisman is for peace and safety.”

The one she just drew was much better than the previous ones.

Jiang Zhiyǔ took the talisman. “You drew this?”

“Yeah,” Jiang Zhixu nodded.

“And the talismans you gave to Xiao Yu and Xiao Lei…”

Jiang Zhixu puffed out her chest proudly. “I drew those too.”

“How about that? I’m pretty good, right?”

[Host, why did you admit it? Aren’t you afraid that your big brother will think you’ve lost your mind again?]

[Well… It’s fine. It’s not the first or second time.]

Mainly, she was being honest because she hoped that after the Jiang family found out, Jiang Zhiyǔ could help explain things for her. Otherwise, it would be hard to convince them just by herself, even if she explained for a day and a night.

Jiang Zhiyǔ rubbed the talisman, still feeling incredulous. “You really drew this?”

Not because her brain was damaged?

Jiang Zhixu nodded seriously. “Yes, I did.”

Jiang Zhiyǔ: It’s over. My sister has become a swindler.
