Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

"Shen Zhaozhao!" Shen Chuan suddenly stood up and tried to grab her.

Unexpectedly, Ni Bo pushed Gu Chen in from outside.

The moment they saw Gu Chen, Shen Yiheng and Shen Chuan, who were originally furious, froze.

The head of the most powerful family in the capital city has actually appeared in Haicheng!

Shen Yiheng had only vaguely heard that the Gu family in the capital had marital ties with the Gu family and the Huo family, two of the four great families. They had gone to great lengths to get close to Huo Tingchen in order to establish a connection with the Gu family.

I never expected to be so lucky as to meet the head of the Gu family today!

I heard the Gu family intends to develop a new energy project in Haicheng this year. If I could get a word with the head of the Gu family…

This made Shen Yiheng extremely happy!

"Patriarch Gu..." Shen Yiheng greeted him with a somewhat ingratiating smile, wanting to step forward and shake hands with Gu Chen. "Nice to meet you. I am Shen Yiheng from the Shen family of Haicheng."

"I'm sorry I wasn't prepared for my first visit."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Ni, who was pushing the wheelchair, said, "Mr. Shen, you are not my master's guest today."

Pfft. Wu Zhao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ni Bo said that if Shen Yiheng and Shen Chuan hadn't shamelessly used the pretense of being future in-laws to meet Huo Tingchen, they wouldn't have been able to see Gu Chen at all.

Because you're not qualified!

The mere Shen family of Haicheng is not worthy of meeting the head of the Gu family, the most powerful family in the capital.

"Uncle." Huo Tingchen stood up, seemingly ignoring the embarrassed Shen father and son.

Gu Chen asked casually, "What happened?"

Shen Yiheng quickly said, "Patriarch Gu, there was a slight mishap at the engagement banquet between the Shen family and the Huo family last night. We're here to explain to Mr. Huo!"

“My daughter Jiaojiao has been sensible, obedient, and outstanding since she was little. Mr. Huo and she are a match made in heaven! There was just a misunderstanding last night, and we hope to clear it up…”

Wu Zhao clapped his hands and said, "You really can turn black into white. Your Shen family is truly remarkable."

“Zhaozhao, I don’t want to say anything to you in front of the Gu family head, but you have to understand me!” Shen Yiheng said with a pained expression. “Mr. Huo is your sister’s fiancé, and the two of them are truly in love. Even if you are jealous of your sister, you can’t ruin her happy life.”

"I know you're understandably upset that your sister has such a wonderful fiancé as Mr. Huo, but Dad loves you too. Once you're more familiar with the house, Dad plans to introduce you to some promising young men in Haicheng!"

As he spoke, he even touched his face with a hint of sadness, and said to Gu Chen with a wry smile, "It's because I've been too busy, and my poor parenting has made the Gu family head and Mr. Huo laugh at me..."

What a loving father!

I've heard that the head of the Gu family in the capital is an extremely filial person, visiting his deceased mother's grave almost every few months. Aside from very important business trips abroad, he spends the rest of his time in the capital with his family.

If we can catch Gu Chen's eye, then the Shen family's cooperation this year will be a sure thing!

Shen Yiheng couldn't help but feel a little smug, but his expression was still one of heartache.

"Oh," Wu Zhao said after watching Shen Yiheng finish his performance, "Is he the second young master of the Qi family in Haicheng who is dying, or the eldest young master of the Li family whose sexual orientation is the same as his?"

"I've never seen anyone sell their daughter so openly before."

The original owner was so embarrassed and wanted to go home on the day of Shen Jiaojiao's engagement, wasn't it because she refused to meet the so-called young talent that the Shen couple introduced to her, and that's why she was kicked out?

"Zhaozhao, it's not what you think! Those rumors are all false, how could you believe them!" Shen Yiheng quickly explained, "Besides, the Qi family and the Li family don't only have these two young masters!"

"You've really misunderstood your father. How could your father possibly push you into a fire pit!"

"It was indeed a joke." Gu Chen tapped the armrest of his wheelchair, his expression still indifferent.

Unable to discern his emotions, Shen Yiheng hesitated. Shen Chuan, standing beside him, tugged at his father's arm and said, "Mr. Gu, we've come today for two reasons: first, to explain what happened last night; and second, to bring Zhao Zhao home."

"I don't think that's necessary." Huo Tingchen noticed that Gu Chen was getting impatient, so he said, "She is now a guest of honor in the Gu family and a guest of my uncle, so naturally she should stay here."

what? !

Shen Yiheng stared at Wu Zhao in astonishment, and for a moment became somewhat exasperated.

How did this biological daughter, who came back from the countryside, get such great power to become a guest of the Gu family in the capital?

If I had known she had these tricks up her sleeve, why did I have to make things so tense with her?

Shen Chuan looked at Wu Zhao with some surprise: "Zhao Zhao, how do you know Patriarch Gu? Why didn't you tell your brother about something so important?"

"Patriarch Gu, it's even better since you know Zhaozhao." Shen Yiheng composed himself and said with a smile, "My Zhaozhao is a good child, just like Jiaojiao. If you like her..."

Wu Zhao was almost scared to death by what he said, "You're dreaming! But stop thinking about it for now!"

"I see dark lines running across your forehead. I suggest you go home quickly, or you might run into some petty person and trip up and fall hard!"

To set their sights on the Emperor Star? They must be tired of living!

Gu Chen's fingers twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he changed his mind after seeing Wu Zhao's expression.

"Zhaozhao, what nonsense are you spouting now?" Shen Yiheng shook his head, seemingly with great affection. "Since Patriarch Gu has kept you here, you must behave well and stop causing trouble."

"You didn't bring anything with you. Do you want Dad to leave you some money?"

"Master Gu, I'm leaving my daughter Zhaozhao in your care. She comes from a small town, so please don't blame her if she does anything wrong."

Looking down at his fingers, Gu Chen raised his head and said indifferently, "She's not a problem."

Shen Chuan looked at Shen Yiheng with some surprise and said, "But that thing..."

Didn't Father say that the jade gourd was very important and that we must get it back?

Shen Yiheng glared at him. "Shut up. We'll talk about this later."

The old woman who adopted Shen Zhaozhao was no ordinary person; she had entrusted a large amount of gold bars and antiques to someone in the capital for Shen Zhaozhao. If he hadn't known this, he wouldn't have agreed to bring this lowly adopted daughter home!

He felt relieved that Shen Zhaozhao didn't seem to know yet that the jade gourd was the token!

Shen Yiheng's eyes darted around. Now that Shen Zhaozhao had made contact with the Gu family, it seemed he couldn't easily touch her.

That fortune, the Shen family must get their hands on!

We'll deal with the rest gradually!

Then he turned to Huo Tingchen and said, “Mr. Huo, before I came, Jiaojiao told me she would contact you… Why don’t you two have a proper talk?”

Huo Tingchen's lips twitched. Remembering what Wu Zhao had said, he couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the little paper figure's pocket.

"see a visitor out."

Wu Zhao looked at the two figures as they walked away, somewhat puzzled.

Shen Chuan was about to say something, but Shen Yiheng interrupted him.

What is it?

Why does Shen Yiheng keep emphasizing that she didn't take anything with her when she left the Shen family?

She didn't take anything with her when she left the engagement party. If she had anything, it could only be...

The jade gourd left behind by the original owner's grandmother!

After receiving the jade gourd, she examined it and found it to be just an ordinary jade pendant with nothing special about it.

Wu Zhao remembered that he had carefully placed the gourd in a small box, and planned to find time to go back to the countryside to bury it with the original owner's grandmother.

Is there any other use for that gourd?

Wu Zhao couldn't help but pay more attention.

Watching the two leave, seemingly quite delighted, she couldn't help but ask, "You didn't actually believe him, did you?"

Gu Chen's expression was cold, and his tone was icy: "You're overthinking it."

A loving father figure couldn't sway him; Shen Yiheng's plan backfired.

Enveloped in immense fortune, Gu Chen appeared very warm to Wu Zhao, making him want to get closer. However, at this moment, Gu Chen exuded a cold aura from the inside out.

Even the aura around him seemed listless, while the black yin energy above his head churned violently.

This fluctuation of yin energy is actually related to Gu Chen's emotions?

Gu Chen hadn't shown any obvious emotional fluctuations before, so Wu Zhao hadn't noticed this relationship.

It seems that the person who had ideas about his fate is a master!

Wu Zhao, who could see his kinship line, understood that although Gu Chen was born with the noble destiny of an emperor, his fate had been manipulated by others at some point.

Therefore, his good fortune was affected to some extent, and the people around him were the first to be affected.

Judging from his facial features, the lines indicating kinship are very faint.

The person who was very important to him must have passed away early, and it wasn't an unnatural death...

Thinking of this, and seeing the pitiful purple aura wriggling at her, Wu Zhao quickly changed the subject: "I'm hungry, can I have breakfast first!"

He may be angry, but he shouldn't let it affect her luck!

……

Shen family.

Shen Yiheng and Shen Chuan entered the room with displeasure. Shen Jiaojiao, who had been sobbing in Madam Shen's arms in the living room, looked up.

Not seeing Wu Zhao behind the two, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes.

"Didn't Dad and Brother find Sister?"

Shen Chuan's expression was grim. He snorted coldly, "Do you know where she's staying now? My dad and I went to see Mr. Huo today, and Shen Zhaozhao was actually staying at Mr. Huo's place!"

"What?! This shameless woman actually had designs on Jiao Jiao's fiancé!" Madam Shen stood up angrily. "I'm going to settle accounts with her right now!"

Shen Yiheng loosened his tie, sat down, and said somewhat impatiently, "Alright, I haven't even brought her back yet, how can you expect me to? Besides, do you even know who Mr. Huo lives with?"

"That one from the Gu family in the capital!"

Madam Shen's expression stiffened, and she sat back down resentfully: "So you're just going to let it go like that? You don't want the things that old hag left behind?"

Having shared a bed for thirty years, how could she not know what Shen Yiheng was thinking?

"What can you do with the Gu family protecting her? You can only appease her first!" Shen Yiheng said, somewhat irritated. "Otherwise, are you going to offend the Gu family and Gu Chen?!"

Shen Jiaojiao's expression darkened.

Where did that bitch get the good fortune to be valued by the Gu family of the capital?

She thought for a moment and said, "Dad, but now Gu Chen isn't the one who calls the shots in the Gu family!"

"He's not unable to walk anymore. I heard that the Gu family has an equally capable eldest son, Yue Jinsheng, who is not only deeply loved by Mr. Gu, but his mother is also Mr. Gu's beloved! He's a sure-fire heir!"

"If we can get in touch with him, would we still need to worry about Gu Chen, who was banished to Haicheng?"

Shen Jiaojiao laughed.

"Moreover, I have a way to contact Mr. Yue. With him around, everything will be fine!"
