The Fake Rich Daughter Knows a Bit of Metaphysics and Leads Her Whole Family to Become Wealthy - Chapter 4

Chapter 4: Returning to the Jiang Family, Encountering a Vengeful Ghost

Jiang Zhixu spoke sincerely, but the three people in the room didn’t take it seriously, especially Jiang Shengnan, who lovingly stroked Jiang Zhixu’s head, “I’m not at the point where I need my daughter to take care of me.”

“You’re the little princess of the Bai family, and now you’re the little princess of the Jiang family.”

“Focus on recovering, everything is taken care of by dad, mom, and your brothers. You don’t need to worry about anything.”

Jiang Zhixu felt a warmth in her heart.
Is this what it feels like to have a family?

She never experienced this in the Bai family.

“Go see your third brother. Although he doesn’t say it, he’s been thinking about you.”

“Okay.”

Jiang Zhiyu pushed Jiang Zhixu to see Jiang Zhilei, while Qin Mei stayed in the room to take care of Jiang Shengnan.

“Your third brother… his temper might not be great. If he says something unpleasant, don’t get angry.”

Jiang Zhixu: “I understand.”

Being paralyzed in bed, it’s normal for him to be in a bad mood.

“Is this really my biological sister?” Jiang Zhilei leaned against the headboard, his face calm, but his eyes were gloomy.

“Ha, she does look similar. Brother, you’re not mistaken, are you?”

Jiang Zhiyu’s deep voice. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

Knowing his personality, Jiang Zhiyu spoke softly, “I’ve done the identification, Zhizhi is our biological sister, there’s no mistake.”

“That’s good.” Jiang Zhilei’s expression softened slightly, and his gaze swept over Jiang Zhixu’s face, avoiding the topic.

“That Bai Liuli person ran away quickly. My Jiang family raised her for 20 years, and she left without even saying a word. What a thankless person.”

“You, after living a good life for so many years, are you really willing to come back and live a hard life?”

Jiang Zhixu didn’t answer, she just stared at Jiang Zhilei, or rather, at the ghost on him.

The ghost’s body was dark and had tumors, with a few tentacles stuck to Jiang Zhilei’s body, and white light was slowly being sucked from Jiang Zhilei’s body into the ghost’s.

[Little Eight, what kind of ghost is that?]

[Host, it’s a malicious ghost from the Hundred Ghosts Book. It specializes in sucking human vitality. Your third brother’s leg should have recovered long ago, but because of this ghost, he’s been paralyzed in bed.]

[Host, you must get rid of it as soon as possible. If it grows stronger, it will be harder to eliminate, and your third brother will die.]

Jiang Zhixu looked at the malicious ghost, her eyes slightly moving. She knew this wasn’t the right time to act. She clenched her fist and looked at Jiang Zhilei.

“Do you know how I got out? I was kicked out by Bai Liuli. During that time, the Bai family members remained silent, watching with cold eyes. Third brother, do you think I’m attached to such a family?”

Jiang Zhilei’s face darkened, “Did Bai Liuli bully you?”

“Yes, she searched my luggage in public, scattered my personal belongings everywhere, tore off my clothes, took all my money, and left me with nothing, not even enough to take a taxi. And in the end, I got into an accident.” Jiang Zhixu said calmly, as if talking about something insignificant.

“That Bai Liuli person!” Jiang Zhilei clenched his fist, his face full of anger, “We shouldn’t have raised her!”

Jiang Zhiyu’s eyes also darkened when he heard this.

Jiang Zhixu noticed that the malicious ghost on Jiang Zhilei’s body was absorbing his energy faster due to his emotional change, and the white light surrounding him instantly decreased.

She pushed her wheelchair closer and grasped Jiang Zhilei’s hand, “Third brother, don’t get angry. It’s not worth it to get angry over something like that.”

“What we need to do is live a good life, and that’s the best way to hit back at them.”

“Zhizhi is right.” Jiang Zhiyu chimed in, “Xiao Lei, getting angry won’t solve the problem, it’ll only make us more depressed.”

“The Bai family looks down on us, but we need to live even better.”

Jiang Zhilei’s emotions calmed down, but his eyes still held a lot of anger.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhixu took out a triangular talisman and handed it to him, “This is a peace talisman I got from a temple when I was 18. I’m giving it to third brother, hoping it will protect you.”

Before Jiang Zhilei could refuse, Jiang Zhixu stuffed the talisman into his hand.

As soon as he grasped the talisman, an invisible light rushed towards the malicious ghost, releasing red threads that tightly bound it.

The malicious ghost struggled and roared, glaring at Jiang Zhixu with a face full of anger.

“Where did this Taoist priest come from, ruining my business!”

Without making a sound, Jiang Zhixu drew a circle with her right index finger on the palm of her left hand, and a thicker red thread flew out, binding the malicious ghost into a ball.

This was a confinement talisman from the newbie gift package, which could control the malicious ghost and prevent it from doing harm. The talismans she drew herself weren’t as effective as this one.

Now, all she needed was the right opportunity to eliminate the malicious ghost.

She couldn’t just watch Jiang Zhilei get harmed by the ghost.

688 had been watching her movements, and its eyes were full of pride.

Because Jiang Zhixu was even more talented than it had thought.

Given time, she would definitely become a high-level Taoist priest.

Jiang Zhilei wanted to return the peace talisman, but he wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination. The moment he grasped the talisman, he felt a weight lift off his shoulders, and he wasn’t as sleepy anymore.

Was the peace talisman really that effective?

Was it his Imagination?

“Third brother, you rest, I won’t disturb you anymore.” Jiang Zhixu quickly left to avoid returning the talisman.

Jiang Zhiyu pushed her to her room, “This was Bai Liuli’s room before. We threw away all her things and redecorated it. Take a look and see if you like it. If not, you can move to my room, and I’ll stay here.”

The room had pink bedding and pink wallpaper, but fortunately, the furniture wasn’t pink.

“It’s okay, second brother. I’m not picky. It’s fine to stay here.”

Jiang Zhixu smiled and pulled out another talisman from her pocket. This one was a real peace talisman.

“Second brother, for you. Peace talisman brings peace.”

Seeing the talisman, Jiang Zhiyu couldn’t help but tease, “Your talismans are probably wholesale, aren’t they?”

Jiang Zhixu bit her lip, “My body and luck weren’t good before, so I would often go to pray for help. Over time, I accumulated a lot.”

“Second brother, do you dislike that I’ve used it before?”

“No, I don’t.” Jiang Zhiyu took the talisman and held it in his hand, “Since Zhizhi gave it to me, how could I dislike it?”

“You rest, I’ll go see mom and dad. Big brother will be back tonight, so prepare for that.”

Big brother Jiang Zhiyu worked in a big company with regular hours, but often had to work overtime. His monthly salary after deductions was 13,000.

“Okay.”

As Jiang Zhiyu left, Jiang Zhixu looked around the room.

668: “Host, aren’t you happy?”

Jiang Zhi Xu. “No, I’m just thinking about how to catch the malicious ghost.”

“With my current abilities, I’m afraid I won’t be able to handle it.”

The fact that the malicious ghost was temporarily bound was thanks to the talisman. Without the advanced talisman from the system, she wouldn’t have been able to do anything.

“Host, you can earn luck value by completing tasks. Luck value can be used for lottery draws to get advanced talismans, to upgrade yourself, or to exchange items in the system mall.”

688 opened the panel.

Host: Jiang Zhixu (Female)
Luck value (Total): 300
Mystical Level (Max Level 10): 0 (1500 Luck value needed to reach Level 1)
Current Talismans, Spells, and Pills: 3 Peace Talismans, 1 Thunder Talisman, 3 Rebirth Pills
Rewarded Amount (Total): 1.5 million, 1 small electric car

The simple introduction made Jiang Zhixu sigh.

After a month of effort, sending away three ghosts, she still hadn’t leveled up.

“How can I level up?”

The situation was urgent, and she needed to rely on her skills.
