Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Father, you are always so gentle to Jiang Lu. What about me? Have you ever given me any care since I was young? Except for the day when I agreed to marry Yan Zhang, you pushed me into the fire pit! But you’ve always treated Jiang Lu as a treasure!”

Jiang Zhi could no longer care less. Since she was young, the word “biased” had been carved into her father’s blood and bones. No matter what she did, it never once outshone a single sentence from Jiang Lu. She had long been tired of it.

“Unfilial daughter! Are you going to congratulate me on my birthday like this?” Father Jiang was so angry that his face turned green. He lifted up his stool and pointed at Jiang Zhi as he cursed at her, “How did I have a daughter like you? Unfilial thing! So many guests are watching! You are not worthy to be the daughter of the Jiang Family!”

Father Jiang was so angry that he trembled. The last bit of calm in his eyes was gone. It was filled with anger and disgust. “If it weren’t for me, would you have lived to this day?”

The guests below were also dissatisfied. What an unfilial child to cause trouble at a birthday party.

“No wonder he doesn’t like his eldest daughter. If I had such a daughter, I would have told her to get lost!”

“That’s right. Although Jiang Lu’s gift turned out to be a fake, at least she has the intention. Unlike this woman who came empty-handed, she is just here to mess things up, right?”

More and more people criticized her. Jiang Zhi looked at the crowd in disappointment and suddenly found them amusing.

“Enough!” Lu Mian held Jiang Zhi in his arms and took a string of Buddhist beads from his wrist. “This should be enough as a congratulatory gift. Mr. Jiang, please shut your mouth.”

Lu Mian held Jiang Zhi in his arms and covered her ears. “I’ll handle this.”

“Isn’t… isn’t this a buddha bead that has been opened before? It’s priceless!”

“I didn’t expect to see such a piece of jewelry at this banquet!”

The people present could tell at a glance that it was not ordinary. Even if one had money, they might not be able to buy such a thing. It was said that the person who wore it had a miraculous effect, only appearing once every thousand years. They did not expect that there would be ten of them in this string.

Father Jiang looked at the string of Buddhist beads and frowned. Was it really that miraculous? So many people were flattering him. What was the background of this man?

Just as he reached out to take it, Jiang Lu held it in her hand and sized it up.

“Isn’t that just a broken thing? There’s nothing left even if it’s thrown on the ground! Jiang Zhi, where did you find so many actors? You’re talking nonsense!” Jiang Lu held it in her hand, a wave of warm air flowed through her body through the Buddha bead. She realized it was actually worth something.

She was unwilling to give up. Why was Jiang Zhi always the one in the limelight? Buddha beads? Why did she still want to suppress her? It would be great if it was destroyed!

Under everyone’s eyes, Jiang Lu flung it to the ground and crushed the Buddha bead with her feet. The Buddha bead turned into ashes instantly like a piece of glass.

Before anyone could react, Lu Mian’s hand trembled and his face turned pale. He fell to the ground with a loud crash.

The Buddha bead and Lu Mian’s lives were closely related. In his previous life, he had not protected Jiang Zhi well… in this life, he had used the Buddha beads to change his fate and seek a chance to be reborn. However, the Buddha bead was destroyed, and his life was also gone…

Jiang Zhi panicked.. She suddenly realized something was off and wanted to retrieve the Buddha bead, but it had vanished completely.
