"Master? Not foster parents?" Xia Yue asked curiously.
"My biological parents sold me to my current master when I was seven," Zhuang Xi said calmly.
"Uh…" Xia Yue felt a bit awkward, she was enjoying the privilege in her family, while her biological parents had sold Zhuang Xi.
"I'm sorry." Xia Yue stood up from the rocking chair, standing in front of Zhuang Xi, apologizing with a flushed face
Zhuang Xi looked at the girl standing in front of her, the girl was dressed in expensive clothes, not very beautiful, even somewhat plain. Zhuang Xi looked at the surroundings, these things should have been her own, but because of her parents, before she was bought by her master, she was either scolded or beaten, and had to cook, do laundry, and clean for a large family.
Those hard days only stopped after her master took her away.
"I accept your apology, but I can't say that I forgive you," Zhuang Xi said, looking determinedly at Xia Yue.
"I didn't expect your forgiveness. After all, if I were you, I wouldn't forgive either," Xia Yue said.
After that, they both fell silent, and Xia Yue sat back down.
Ten minutes later, Xia Yue carefully asked, "What does your master do?"
"He's a fortune teller." Zhuang Xi replied after a pause.
"Oh, can you also do it?" Xia Yue asked, wondering in her mind whether it was like what was written in the novels, a transcendent master, and Zhuang Xi might have learned it, able to catch demons and ghosts, telling fortunes and such.
"Yes." Zhuang Xi nodded.
"Oh, then you must never let your parents see those things, or they will throw them away. And they will give you a long and boring lecture." Xia Yue worried that if Zhuang Xi took them out at home and the couple found out, it would probably become a long and boring lecture.
"Yeah, I got it, thanks for the reminder." Zhuang Xi nodded.
"Ok, I've said what I had to say.
I'm going back to play games now, bye." Xia Yue checked the time, it was about time for her to go online gaming. She stood up, said goodbye to Zhuang Xi, and left.
Zhuang Xi watched her retreating figure, stroking her black bracelet on her wrist, whispering to herself, "She doesn't seem like what the others have described."
Suddenly, the black bracelet moved, transforming into a small black snake, hissing at her.
"Uh-huh, I won't genuinely believe her words, but I'll know after getting along with her. Let's go back." Zhuang Xi lightly touched its head, the snake wrapped itself around her wrist, pretending to be a bracelet, and she smiled.
Three days later, in the Xia family's old mansion guest room, the people of the Xia family gathered again.
The housekeeper Liu held a document bag in his hand, which probably contained the identification results.
"Old Liu, read it out." The old sir said to the housekeeper Liu.
"Yes, sir." The housekeeper Liu nodded, slowly opened the document bag, and took out the results inside.
Everyone stared nervously at him, only Xia Yue and Zhuang Xi were the calmest.
Housekeeper Liu read the results on the report.
"This is the identification result of Mr. Song Lin Ssong Qin and Miss Zhuang Xi, showing a 99.99% parent-child relationship, the second one is with Miss Xia Yue, showing no blood relationship at all."
After the results came out, everyone's expression changed.
"How do you two want to handle this?" The old sir looked at Xia Linsong and Song Qin and asked.
"Since Zhuang Xi is our child, we will bring her back to live with us, as for Xia Yue..." When Xia Linsong mentioned Xia Yue, he hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to continue.
