Mrs. Zhang turned her head and glanced, saying directly, “I don’t have money.

You should find someone else.”

“I don’t need you to pay. I’ll give you a ride,” Lu Miao replied.

Mrs. Zhang looked at her skeptically, “No need, who knows if you’re a scammer trying to trick me out of money.”

As she spoke, she quickly moved to stand to the side.

Being thrown out so abruptly, with her bank cards frozen heartlessly by that unfaithful man, Mrs. Zhang had little money left, and her two children still needed to attend school.

If she were to be deceived again, she felt she might as well not live anymore.

Lu Miao didn’t offer an explanation; she simply said, “I can see that Madam’s celestial aura suggests wealth and prosperity. It’s just that you’ve recently encountered trouble, which has caused discord within your family. You and your children are left to suffer in a difficult situation.”

Mrs. Zhang turned her head abruptly, looking at her, “How do you know?”

Lu Miao maintained her composure, “I also know that your other half isn’t truly interested in being with that person, but has been misled by her underhanded methods. At this moment, his mind is clouded, and it’s all the doing of that person behind his back.”

Mrs. Zhang’s expression changed multiple times in quick succession. This person’s accuracy was uncanny, yet she hadn’t said anything.

After some thought, she realized that her current situation wasn’t much different from being penniless. If the woman wanted money or her phone number, she could just walk away.

“I’ll make it clear beforehand: I don’t have any money,” Mrs. Zhang stated.

Lu Miao nodded, “Rest assured, there’s a police station just around the corner. If I were to deceive you for money, you could report me directly.”

Finally feeling slightly at ease due to the nearby police station, Mrs. Zhang turned back to Lu Miao and asked, “Are those things you said earlier true? He’s being manipulated by those underhanded means and isn’t thinking clearly?”

“If I’m not mistaken, your other half should have been bewitched by a love charm. Those under the influence of a love charm become utterly devoted, with their thoughts and feelings focused solely on the person who used the charm. Whatever that person asks of them, they’ll do. However, it doesn’t affect their everyday life or work,” Lu Miao explained briefly.

“A love charm? Is it… like the kind they show on TV, where someone pats someone else on the back, and that person starts liking them?” Mrs. Zhang asked in astonishment.

“Something like that,” Lu Miao nodded.

“I knew there had to be something wrong,” Mrs. Zhang slapped her thigh suddenly, “When he came home that day, I thought he was acting strangely, as if he were bewitched. He even woke my son from his sleep and kicked us out of the house. He froze all my bank accounts. So, he was under a charm.”

“Hey, your soy milk and soup dumplings are ready,” the owner of a nearby snack stand looked their way and called out.

“I know, I know, just leave them there for now,” Mrs. Zhang responded.

Turning back to Lu Miao with an urgent look, she asked, “So, what should I do? Where can I find a remedy to break the charm?”

Lu Miao reached into her pocket and handed her a small box, “This contains the antidote to break the charm. Just find a way to give this to him, and he’ll need to consume it.”

Mrs. Zhang took it from her, opened the box, and looked inside. It held a small transparent bag filled with an indescribable powder.

After a careful examination, not noticing anything unusual, she looked up at

Lu Miao and hesitated, “This won’t kill him if he takes it, will it?”

“Rest assured, it’s only for breaking the charm,” Lu Miao reassured her.

Mrs. Zhang carefully closed the box, “Alright, I’ll find him later. If this remedy works, I’ll make sure to reward you generously.”

“Madam, we’re connected by fate. Let me offer you another piece of advice. Flies don’t land on a seamless egg; while the act of putting a curse is indeed despicable, it requires the victim’s consent to some extent,” Lu Miao said calmly.

Biting her lip, Mrs. Zhang nodded, “I understand. Thank you.”

Lu Miao lazily folded up the small stool and discarded the hand-written sign into the trash bin before heading to a nearby snack stall for a quick breakfast.

CEO Zhang was never a good person to begin with. Even if he hadn’t inadvertently fallen victim to Lu Siyu’s curse this time, he would have likely continued mistreating other women.

The situation with Mrs. Zhang being evicted from her home this time had some connection to Lu Miao, though it wasn’t entirely her fault.

If after breaking the curse, Mrs. Zhang still insists on staying by General

Zhang’s side for the money, her future may not be much better than it is now.

As for Gu Xingyu, Shen Qinghe was utterly disappointed this time. She wanted the government to handle her properly and had no intention of helping her avoid the charges. She didn’t even hire a lawyer for her.

Even the old lady didn’t protect her this time.

Because the Gu family didn’t take any action, the police station quickly called to inform them of the court’s verdict.

Gu Xingyu was found guilty of attempted murder due to her intentional car accident, but given that Lu Miao ultimately suffered no harm, the severity of the crime was reduced. She was sentenced to one year and six months in prison.

The judgment was already in effect, and there were some documents that needed her signature at the police station.

To her surprise, Gu Xingyu hadn’t implicated Lu Siyu at this point; she took all the blame herself.

After arranging a meeting time with Captain Du, Lu Miao went directly to the police station after school.

When she arrived at the entrance, she happened to see Gu Xingyu being taken to the police car, ready to be transferred to prison.

Gu Xingyu struggled all the way, shouting loudly, “I don’t want to go to prison, I don’t want to go. I want to see my second brother, I want to see my mom and grandma. I don’t believe they won’t take care of me. Let me go, let me go.” While shouting, she kicked towards the police officers on the side.

“Miss Gu, if you keep kicking like that, we’ll charge you with assaulting an officer. You’ll get more than a year and a half in prison then,” one of the police officers said sternly.

“You bunch of lowlifes with no respect, tell me, did Lu Miao bribe you to prevent my brother and my mom from seeing me? If my second brother finds out, he won’t spare you.”

Gu Xingyu not only didn’t restrain herself but instead cursed even more fiercely. In her struggle, she happened to see Lu Miao entering from outside.

Her eyes instantly turned red, and she began cursing loudly at Lu Miao.

“Lu Miao, you bitch, did you bribe them to prevent my brother from seeing me? You’re a bitch. You dare to harm me into prison.”

At this moment, her hatred for Lu Miao had almost reached its peak. It was all because of this little bitch. Since she came to the Gu family, she had taken away all the love her mother, grandmother, and brothers had for her.

Now they were watching her go to prison for Lu Miao, not caring about her at all!

For some reason, she suddenly mustered up the strength to turn her head abruptly. She bit one of the police officer’s hands fiercely when he was holding her. Then, when he released her due to the pain, she went straight towards Lu Miao.

With clenched teeth, she reached for Lu Miao’s neck, wishing she could strangle her right then and there.

She didn’t believe that once Lu Miao was dead, her mother and her brother would still ignore her.

Lu Miao stood calmly in place, about to react, when suddenly, a tall figure rushed out from the side and pulled her away. At the same time, that person quickly raised their other hand and tapped twice on Gu Xingyu’s forehead.

Gu Xingyu’s body suddenly froze, staggered back a few steps as if losing strength, and sat down on the ground weakly. She stared blankly at her own hands.

The person looked at the police officers who had hurriedly run over and said coldly, “Keep an eye on her. You have a responsibility for her injuries.”

One of the officers wiped his sweat and nodded quickly, “Yes, thank you,

Captain Ji.”

He quickly called another police officer over, and the two of them put Gu Xingyu in the car together.

At the moment she got into the car, Gu Xingyu seemed to suddenly come to her senses from her daze. She turned her head abruptly and looked at Lu Miao.

The two police officers, who were escorting her, were afraid that she might charge at Lu Miao again and hurt someone, so they quickly pulled out handcuffs and clicked them onto her hands, locking them behind her back.

Surprisingly, Gu Xingyu didn’t struggle. She just stared straight at Lu Miao until she was out of her line of sight.

Captain Ji turned to look at Lu Miao. “Are you okay?”

It was the same Captain Ji who Lu Miao had encountered the last time she was leaving the police station..
