"Gu Jianguo, how, how could you treat me like this..."
Li Chunlan finally squeezed out a single tear and said with a wronged expression, "I'm your nanny, and even more, your lover!"
"Didn't we agree to get our marriage certificate next month? We've come this far, and you're still haggling over every little thing with me?"
"Money is money, and affection is affection. Those are two completely different things!"
"If we can't even get this math right, don't mention anything else from now on!"
Gu Jianguo spoke with absolute righteous confidence, making even Gu Yiheng cheer in his heart:
My dad truly lives up to his name as a veteran accountant—he really knows how to crunch the numbers!
It seemed that the Love-Curing Brain-Cleansing Pill from the live stream was indeed effective; it had genuinely cured his father's infatuated delusion.
Right now, his dad looked thoroughly clear-headed, his eyes full of shrewdness. Forget about fooling Li Chunlan—even Gu Yiheng himself couldn't pull the wool over his father's eyes!
"Dad, Aunt Li, I have things to take care of and need to head out. You two take your time talking, I'll go first. We can catch up on the phone if anything comes up!"
Gu Yiheng tactfully took his leave, having no desire to get mixed up in this messy drama between Gu Jianguo and Li Chunlan.
Anyway, Gu Jianguo had already regained his sanity and become completely sharp-witted; there was no way he would let himself be taken advantage of!
With that thought, Gu Yiheng felt wonderful and hurried to recount everything that had just happened to his younger sister.
Seeing the message, Gu Yiqian found it hard to believe.
"Bro, are you making up stories?"
"Is that pill from the live stream really that magical?"
Gu Yiheng didn't blame Gu Yiqian for questioning it; after all, the whole thing was simply too absurd. Who in their right mind would believe it?
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes and experienced it himself, he wouldn't have easily taken it seriously either.
"Believe it or not, this whole thing is bizarre beyond words. Anyway, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief about Dad and stop worrying!"
With that, Gu Yiheng tapped on Su Nanqing's live stream again and couldn't resist posting in the chat.
Perseverance: [I never thought that pill was actually real. It really cured my dad's infatuation!]
[What, another paid shill?]
[Did the host fake orders and hire people to post glowing reviews again? I'm not falling for that!]
Perseverance: [What I'm saying is the truth, truer than real pearls!]
[A while back, my dad had completely lost his mind over a relationship. No matter what my sister and I said, we couldn't shake his determination to marry our nanny.]
[That nanny clearly had ulterior motives—she was after his house and his pension. Anyone with eyes could see it, but my dad refused to admit it and sank deeper and deeper. He even told me not to meddle in his personal affairs, or he'd sever our father-son relationship.]
[I was completely out of options and decided to treat a dead horse like a live one by buying the Love-Curing Brain-Cleansing Pill recommended by the host. I never expected the pill to arrive so fast, and the results were immediate.]
[If there weren't a limit of one per person, I'd stock up on a few more just in case!]
Seeing Gu Yiheng's chat message, Su Nanqing felt a deep sense of gratification. As a live-stream shopping host, selling products was her KPI and her duty, but genuinely helping others gave her a sense of accomplishment, making her feel that everything she did was worthwhile.
"Thank you, user Perseverance, for sharing your personal experience. I'll say it again: this shop does not fake orders, nor do we hire shills. Please purchase according to your needs, limited to one per person."
"Of course, if you feel you have no need for this yourself, you can also share the live stream with family members or friends around you who might need it."
"Who knows, your small action might just change their lives down the road and create what you thought was impossible..."
As soon as Su Nanqing finished speaking, chat comments flooded the screen.
[The host is so right! I've been in this live stream for quite a while, and I've found everyone's sharing to be quite sincere—not like shills at all.]
[It exists for those who believe; it doesn't for those who don't!]
[Well said. I might not be infatuated, but my unreliable friend definitely is. Looks like I need to share the live stream link with her and wake her up!]
Prompted by her brother, Gu Yiqian curiously opened Su Nanqing's live stream.
Seeing everyone's comments, she finally became convinced that her brother hadn't been joking with her—the pill was real, and the results were the real deal.
Suddenly remembering her cousin Yao Yao, who had come to her for a heart-to-heart talk not long ago, she immediately sent the live stream link to her.
"Yao Yao, didn't you say you have an infatuated best friend who gets scammed and still helps count the money? You should check out this live stream. The pills sold here are a great match for your friend!"
Yao Yao replied instantly, "Really or not? Cousin, don't try to trick me!"
Gu Yiqian filled Yao Yao in on her brother's and father's personal experiences. "Anyway, believe it or not is up to you. I think your friend really needs this pill."
"After all, hospitals nowadays can treat almost any illness, except for late-stage infatuation!"
"Alright then, Cousin, let me take a look first."
Yao Yao browsed the live stream for a good while and saw the testimonial posted by Plum Blossom as Ever, and her initial skepticism slowly faded away.
"Love-Curing Brain-Cleansing Pill—the name sounds totally unreliable, but what if it's actually true?"
"And since my cousin speaks with such absolute conviction, she wouldn't lie to me..."
Operating on the mindset that it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't, Yao Yao placed an order for one Love-Curing Brain-Cleansing Pill.
At a price of over fifty thousand, it seemed like an astronomical sum to an average person, but to a second-generation wealthy heir like her, it was nothing more than the cost of a slightly luxury handbag.
Compared to her good friend, what was fifty thousand?
Even if she got conned, she would do it willingly.
After placing the order, Yao Yao started timing it. True to Gu Yiqian's word, within half an hour, the package arrived right at her doorstep.
Checking her surveillance cameras, she didn't spot any delivery courier—only a fast-moving drone.
It turned out to be high-tech delivery; no wonder it was so fast and precise!
Her doubts about the Love-Curing Brain-Cleansing Pill inevitably lessened a bit more.
"Xiao Yu, do you have time? Swing by my place later today, I have something to tell you."
Yao Yao sent a message to Bai Siyu—her hopelessly infatuated, jinxed best friend.
Bai Siyu replied to her quickly: "Sure, let's meet up in an hour then!"
Bai Siyu came from a terrible biological family, starved of both money and affection since childhood. Because of this, she was insecure and sensitive, lacking a sense of security. She always tried to gain emotional validation through one relationship after another to prove to herself that she was worthy of being loved.
She had been in three relationships, but every single time she picked the wrong person—all three ex-boyfriends had been absolute scumbags.
Anyone else would have hardened their heart and stopped believing in love altogether, but not Bai Siyu; she still longed to be loved and yearned to meet an Mr. Right who truly understood and cherished her.
Not long ago, she met a man named Hu Kaiwen online. He claimed to be a finance professional with a high education, high income, and good looks.
Most importantly, Bai Siyu felt that Hu Kaiwen was extremely attentive, completely different from her previous exes. He was gentle, kind, and generous, skilled at listening and communication, and always able to provide her with emotional validation, gradually patching up her battered and bruised heart little by little.
They had been in an online relationship for less than a month before Hu Kaiwen begged her to meet him offline in Singapore.
