The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 136

"Senior, it must be a mistake by my third brother," he said, his clear face crumpling as he tried to cover for him. "Our Celestial Master Hall is always inclusive and open to talent. We never make enemies of righteous metaphysical masters. When he wakes, I will bring him to apologize in person."

Yu Yuan lazily lowered her eyelids and smiled coldly, "No need for apologies. What your Lu family did, apologies won't cut it."

Lu You didn't understand what she meant exactly. But it sounded like she wasn't just displeased with Lu He—there were others in the Lu family she disliked too.

He had spent most of his life training with his master in the mountains and didn't really know much about many things in the Lu family. And unless it involved him, his father and brothers rarely contacted him, not wanting to disturb him.

Lu You looked toward his eldest brother.

Lu Jingming didn't catch his brother's glance, his eyes impatient. "Yu Yuan, as long as you can save the third brother, name your terms. What do you want? Money? Resources?"

"Big brother..." Lu You quietly nudged his brother, signaling him not to talk to such a powerful master that way.

The stronger the senior, the more arrogant they usually were—full of moods that were hard to predict. Besides, they were the ones asking for help here; they should at least act like it.

Yu Yuan tapped her nails, neither angry nor replying to the eldest Lu's impatience. Instead, her gaze shifted to the old lady of the Lu family.

In her previous life, the old lady had done many good deeds. Although her life palace was tainted with dark energy, the merits she left behind still shone brightly.

The children palace was yellow tinged with purple and the edges faintly blue-green, showing that her children were very filial, but she didn't get along well with their spouses. When she was younger, she often clashed with her daughters-in-law and granddaughters.

At the base of the nose, the Palace of Misfortune was smooth and upright. Wrapped in golden light from good deeds, this life would most likely end naturally. Although there were minor illnesses and accidents, they were all nothing serious.

Yu Yuan propped her chin on her hand, staring blankly at the merit glowing on the old lady's brow.

To have accumulated so much merit, this old lady must have been a reasonable, helpful person in her past life, even saving many people. But this life, with completely different thoughts and experiences, she had turned into an unreasonable, unlikeable nasty old woman.

That was why, after reincarnation, a person was no longer who they used to be. Without the old memories and thoughts, the reincarnated soul was just a shell resembling the former self.

"Old Lady Lu?"

The old lady perked up at Yu Yuan's voice, excitedly stepping forward with quick little steps. "Master Yu, you called me?"

Yu Yuan stood up and leaned in as the old lady's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Old Lady Lu, haven't you ever felt like you've seen this face somewhere before?"

"Master Yu's face does look familiar." The old lady didn't catch the deeper meaning behind Yu Yuan's words and had someone bring Lu He over from the back. She beamed, "It's fate. My grandson really looks a lot like you..."

"Just looks?" Yu Yuan's eyes flashed with icy sharpness.

That day, the memory of the original character being humiliated at home became even clearer in her mind because of the Lu family's presence.

Even if the original character was far from perfect, the fact remained that the Lu family owed her. She was their biological daughter who had been cast out, and they knew well how dire her situation was. Yet the Lu family showed no guilt toward her and even demeaned her to highlight their adopted daughter, burying the original character in the dirt.

On the very day the original character showed up at their door, they threw her out in front of everyone.

This was the family the original character was desperate to find, even if it meant crawling through the mud of the entertainment industry...

A strange sourness surged from Yu Yuan's chest up to her mind. She exhaled deeply, forcing down the unfamiliar, restless emotion.

That was the leftover feeling from the original character.

After so many days, the original character's lingering emotions were finally surfacing.

Old Lady Lu looked at Yu Yuan's familiar face, confusion filling her now cloudy eyes.

Yu Yuan smiled faintly at the confusion in her eyes, but there was no warmth in her expression.

What was this—important people tend to forget?

"I wonder if you still don't remember the birthday party of your granddaughter Lu Jingxi two months ago," Yu Yuan reminded her.

The original character and Lu Jingxi were born on the same day and were switched at birth in the hospital. On Lu Jingxi's birthday—the same day as the original character's—Yu Yuan had come to visit but was thrown out by bodyguards under the command of the old lady's eldest grandson.

The smile on the old lady's face gradually faded, and her cloudy eyes slowly filled with shock.

She never cared much about her granddaughter, but since Lu Jingxi was a popular celebrity, sometimes bragging about her to her old friends made her feel proud. So on Lu Jingxi's birthday, she made a point to show up.

So she still had some impression of what happened that day.

She had been standing upstairs, taking advantage of her granddaughter's birthday party to invite a bunch of old friends over, soaking up all the envy and jealousy. But just as she was basking in her own glory, a sudden commotion broke out outside—a notoriously bad-reputation female celebrity crashed the party, claiming the Lu family had switched their kids, that Lu Jingxi was a fake daughter, and that she was the real Lu family daughter, causing a scene at the banquet.

The Lu family was well-known and respected. When this scandal broke, especially when she was feeling so proud, her face immediately fell.

A granddaughter, not a grandson. If the value was only a bit higher than Lu Jingxi's, fine. But this was a notorious washed-up celeb—how dare she try to leech off their Lu family?

Actually, whether she was leeching or not didn't matter. What mattered was that this person embarrassed her.

Fortunately, Jingming acted quickly and had the woman thrown out, suppressing all the media coverage with a firm hand. Otherwise, the Lu family would have been massively humiliated that day!

Old Lady Lu's voice trembled, "That day... was it Master Yu?"
