Overnight, Guan Xuxu rose from a destitute woman who swept out the door of the Guan family to a true daughter worth billions of dollars! Former family members were filled with regret, and surprisingly, the lion opened his mouth and demanded half of the Jiang family's wealth? Hmph, Guan Xuxu is not a vegetarian. A mantra reveals the greed and ugliness of the Guan family. And when the scumbag seeks reconciliation, she mercilessly gives him the privilege of "meeting his ancestors". This seemingly delicate woman actually holds a secret technique that can ward off evil, draw talismans, save people, and easily hold onto her golden thighs! Guan Xuxu, a name that was once insignificant in the Guan family, has now become a legend in the entire wealthy community. Guan Jia, the cold place that once swept her out of the house, is now regretful. They thought that with the so-called nurturing kindness, the lion could speak up and demand half of its wealth from the Jiang family as a reward. However, they were wrong, and Guan Xuxu was no longer the little girl who was easily bullied back then. Faced with the shameless demands of the Guan family, Guan Xuxu just sneered. She lightly uttered a mantra, leaving the ugly faces of the Guan family nowhere to hide. The so-called family members who once mocked and laid stones on her now look like clowns in front of her. They were horrified to discover that the woman they once looked down upon had such terrifying strength and means. And the scumbag who once betrayed her now has the audacity to turn back and entangle. However, Guan Xuxu mercilessly waved his hand and directly asked him to "see his ancestors" night and night. This kind of punishment is undoubtedly worse than death for a scumbag, but it also makes him completely understand a truth: some people, once missed, will not do it again. The cousins of the Guan family originally couldn't see Guan Xuxu and thought she was embarrassing. However, reality gave them a loud slap in the face. The head of the Song family personally visited Guan Xuxu, hoping that she would take action to save his daughter. The Xu family, who have always had old grudges with the Jiang family, also licked their faces and came to apologize and seek peace. They finally realized that Guan Xuxu was not only a true daughter with a value of billions, but also a mysterious master! Even the cousin who has always been hostile towards heaven and earth has now become a loyal follower of Guan Xuxu. "This is my only sister!" He arrogantly declared that whoever dares to curse her will curse the entire family! This transformation left everyone stunned but also confirmed the status and strength of Guan Xuxu. The Jiang family, who had regained their senses, only knew that the little pitiful person they once thought was such a powerful person. Exorcism, drawing talismans, and rescuing people, which are unattainable for ordinary people, are easily accessible to Guan Xuxu. And her ability to chase after golden thighs has made countless people envious. However, for all of this, Guan Xuxu simply said calmly, "I'm so busy." It seemed like all of this was just a piece of cake for her. And at this moment, Chu Beihe, known as the Golden Thighs, also took the initiative to share the pressure on Guan Xuxu. He said affectionately, "No need to chase, it's already yours." This statement undoubtedly declared his ownership of Guan Xuxu to the world. From this moment on, Guan Xuxu not only has the confidence of being worth billions, but also has the solid support of Chu Beihe. How wonderful and colorful will her life be? Let's wait and see together!
