While Chubby Chiu was locating Zhang Xiuli’s position, he asked Gu Zhiqi with some confusion, "Did she also take away the original owner’s destiny? But why didn’t I detect your destiny on her?"
As Gu Zhiqi was walking, she said to Chubby Chiu, "Do you know where Gu Bo’s destiny has gone?"
"Ah? Where did it go?" Chubby Chiu was slightly confused.
"Five years ago, Gu Bo became paralyzed, and yet Zhang Xiuli turned around and married into a wealthy family. Do you think that’s reasonable?" Gu Zhiqi’s eyes were slightly downcast, making it hard to see her expression.
Upon hearing this, Chubby Chiu was silent for two seconds before speaking with a touch of surprise, "Are you saying that Gu Bo’s destiny was taken by Zhang Xiuli?"
Gu Zhiqi raised her eyebrows but did not speak further.
Seeing this, Chubby Chiu knew he had guessed correctly.
This would make sense, so you’re saying, Zhang Xiuli not only took away Gu Bo’s destiny but also took the destiny that Gu Bo had taken from Gu Zhiqi?
"But, neither Zhang Xiuli nor Gu Bo seem like they belong to the Mysterious Sect. How did Gu Bo take away the original owner’s destiny, and how did Zhang Xiuli take Gu Bo’s destiny?" asked Chubby Chiu, his tone full of confusion.
"We’ll know if we ask her later," Gu Zhiqi said as she arrived at the entrance of a milk tea shop and stopped.
Chubby Chiu, noticing that Gu Zhiqi had already ordered a cup of milk tea, spoke softly, "Weren’t you going to find Zhang Xiuli?"
"I’ll go find her after I finish drinking," Gu Zhiqi replied impassively and after a pause, she asked Chubby Chiu, "Did you locate her?"
"Located her. She’s in a beauty salon called Curved Moon in the city center," Chubby Chiu said, sending the location straight to Gu Zhiqi’s phone.
"Okay," Gu Zhiqi took out her phone, opened the location Chubby Chiu had sent, and checked the distance between them.
It wasn’t very far — about twenty minutes by bus.
As Gu Zhiqi calculated the time it would take to get there, Gu Mengyang sent her a message.
[Gu Mengyang: Why did you turn off location sharing?]
This guy must be poisoned.
Does he live inside the phone?
He sent a message as soon as I turned it off for a moment.
Without replying to Gu Mengyang, she simply re-entered location sharing.
In the VIP room of the Curved Moon Beauty Salon, three rich ladies were lying on beds, each receiving body treatments.
One of them slightly tilted her head to look at the woman on the central bed and spoke with a sycophantic tone, "Mrs. Yuk, I heard your daughter Weiyin is going to be engaged to the young master of the Zhong Family?"
Zhang Xiuli, lying on the central bed with her eyes closed, chuckled upon hearing the woman’s words, "Ah, it’s just two kids dating, nothing’s settled yet."
"If Weiyin marries into the Zhong Family, you’ll certainly be proud, Mrs. Yuk," another rich lady chimed in somewhat obsequiously.
Zhang Xiuli, unable to contain her smile, gently covered her mouth, "My Weiyin has been charming since she was young."
Seeing this, the other two rich ladies also joined in the laughter, though how much sincerity was behind it, no one knew.
Just then, the door to the room was pushed open, and a staff member came in, speaking to Zhang Xiuli, "Mrs. Yuk, there’s someone outside looking for you."
At these words, a flicker of confusion crossed Zhang Xiuli’s eyes, "Looking for me? Did they say who it was?"
"This..." the staff member hesitated, not daring to say who it was.
Zhang Xiuli, noticing the staff member’s hesitation, frowned, "Didn’t they say who it was?"
"She said... she’s your ancestor," the staff member stammered out.
