Chapter 159: Digging her own grave

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Taking out her phone, Lu Miao answered the call. “Boss, someone is offering one million to hire you for a strange job.”

“Hmm?” Lu Miao’s voice rose with curiosity.

As her intermediary and contact person, Lin Bufan had seen all sorts of things in recent days, so for him to find it strange, it must be something out of the ordinary.

“I’ll send you a message on WeChat, take a look,” Lin Bufan said, unsure of how to explain.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Miao quickly received a message from Lin

Bufan.

Finally, Lu Miao understood why Lin Bufan found it strange.

“Lu Miao, September 15, 2006, the third hour of the night.”

The message was accompanied by a photo of her and information about her birthplace.

The request was to borrow her fortune and then curse her using a voodoo doll.

Lu Miao had a rough idea of what was going on and replied directly, “Did they leave a name or contact information?”

“They only mentioned the surname Qin. Do you want me to find out who this person is?” Lin Bufan replied.

“No need.”

Lu Miao’s eyebrows raised slightly. This was a clear sign that Lu Siyu, unable to surpass her in legitimate ways due to her inferior abilities, was resorting to unethical means.

“In that case, should we decline this job directly?” Lin Bufan asked.

Lu Miao smirked. “Why decline? Of course, we should accept it. Not only should we accept it, but we should also raise the price to five million.”

This was Qin Shuang digging her own grave.

Since she came to Lu Miao for help, it was such a great opportunity that Lu Miao couldn’t afford to miss.

If she didn’t take this chance to deceive Qin Shuang, how could she repay her for her cunning intentions?

Lin Bufan immediately understood her intention. She wanted to deceive the person. Excitedly, he replied, “Alright, understood.”

Lu Miao, Gu Ziheng, and Lu Yinan went to celebrate with a dinner together.

The two of them had been at odds with each other from start to finish. After dinner, Lu Yinan spoke directly to Lu Miao, “I have a vacant small courtyard in Gu Lane. Do you want to stay there?”

“The surroundings are nice and quiet, without anyone disturbing you.”

While speaking, he couldn’t help but give a disdainful glance at Gu Ziheng.

“Heh, stay at your place and get bullied by your parents and your sister? What if they find out? Should she be kicked out overnight?” Gu Ziheng sneered.

Speaking of this, Lu Yinan was at a loss for words.

Although those things were not his doing, it was ultimately the Lu family’s fault.

“It’s no trouble. I won’t be staying in the capital for a few days. I still have to go back to Luo City.”Lu Miao replied.

Lu Yinan’s eyes lit up, and he nodded happily.” Okay.”

After bidding farewell to Lu Miao, he returned to his residence and saw Qin Shuang sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Because of Lu Siyu’s injury last time, Qin Shuang had been accompanying her during this period of time, personally taking care of her food and daily life.

As he approached and greeted her, Qin Shuang stood up and slapped him hard, saying angrily, “You heartless person! It was almost because of you, Lu Miao, that our Lu family was on the brink of destruction. Siyu worked so hard for the Lu family, and yet you joined forces with that ungrateful wolf to bully your own sister.”

Lu Yinan looked at her and replied, “Lu Miao is my sister too.”

He could understand that Qin Shuang had raised Lu Siyu for so many years and couldn’t bear to let her go, but no matter what, Lu Miao was her biological daughter. He couldn’t understand why she couldn’t treat Lu Miao well.

“Our Lu family doesn’t need an ungrateful and unfilial child like her,” Qin Shuang growled through gritted teeth.

Lu Yinan’s face showed exhaustion. “It was you who schemed against her first, you who wronged her. When you sent Lu Miao to the Gu family for the sake of the dowry, did you ever consider her well-being? Did you ever think about what would happen to Lu Miao after she was sent there if the Gu family truly wanted someone to sacrifice their life? You can treat Siyu as your own daughter, so why can’t you treat her well?”

Qin Shuang sneered, “Can that wild child who grew up in the countryside compare to Siyu?”

Lu Yinan couldn’t believe that his parents disliked Lu Miao for such a reason.

His voice turned cold. “She grew up in the countryside because of your neglect from the beginning. Since you never treated her as your own daughter from the start, what right do you have now to call her unfilial?”

Qin Shuang, infuriated, raised her hand and slapped him again. “Get lost! It’s not your place to meddle in my affairs. Let me tell you, I gave birth to her, so I have the right to let her live and let her die.”

When Lu Yinan heard this, he was completely disappointed in Qin Shuang.” Alright, I’ll bear the losses of the broadcasting station. Consider it my last favor to the Lu family. I will also bear the responsibility for Lu Miao’s loss. From now on, don’t look for me no matter what happens to the Lu family.”O With that, he turned around and left.

As Lu Siyu, who had been listening to the commotion downstairs, heard the sound of the car engine starting and driving away, her teeth clenched so hard that they felt like they would shatter.

Not only did the brothers of the Gu family stand against her, but now even Lu Yinan had taken Lu Miao’s side.

Lu Qin, who had already been growing increasingly displeased with her due to Lu Miao overshadowing her during this period, would surely abandon her once he found out that her selection show had fallen through.

No, she couldn’t afford to give up and stay in that desolate countryside.

She gritted her teeth. Since the selection show wasn’t going to work, she would go for live broadcasting, become an internet celebrity, and then find a way to enter the entertainment industry.

The recording of the program “Super Brain” had already concluded.

After returning home, Lu Miao initially planned to book her ticket and return to Luo City the next day. As she casually opened her computer and logged into the forum, she noticed that she had received numerous private messages in the backend.

There were people requesting her to visit their locations for feng Shui consultations, fortune-telling sessions, and even life-altering requests from various parts of the country.

As Lu Miao glanced through the messages, preparing to log off, her peripheral vision caught sight of a bounty offer on the forum homepage.

The reward amount was ten million yuan, and it indicated that five people had previously taken the job, but without exception, they had all failed.

Lu Miao clicked on it with great interest and looked at the task description. It was quite simple: experiencing nightmares and waking up to perform strange actions every night.

Ordinary nightmares wouldn’t warrant such a high reward, nor would they result in so many failures.

She checked the address and realized it was conveniently located in the capital city, not too far from her current location.

Although she still had two hundred million yuan in her bank account, for someone who spent money like water, that amount was only enough to buy a few magical tools or make a couple of investments. How could she pass up such a lucrative opportunity? a lucrative opportunity?

She directly accepted the task.

After logging off and closing her computer, she had just finished freshening up when she received a message from Lin Bufan. He informed her that Qin Shuang had agreed, and he had cunningly made her pay a deposit of five million yuan in advance.

Lu Miao couldn’t help but feel ironic. When the Lu family took her in, they wouldn’t spend a penny on her, but now they were willing to spend so much money just to ruin her.

How could there be such parents in this world?
