The phone rang for a long time, and finally, a voice came through saying, "Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable." Gong Changle felt a bit dejected.
Ruan Fuxi was not surprised at all and gestured to Gong Changle, "Alright, what do you need from me?"
Gong Changle quickly perked up again. "Ancestor, you said in the livestream that my fate as a Celestial Lone Star cannot be changed. Is there still hope for me?" He looked at Ruan Fuxi with a face full of hope, mixed with anxiety and tension in his eyes.
Ruan Fuxi nodded. "There is hope."
Gong Changle let out a long sigh of relief and then became excited. "How can I be saved? Ancestor, stop keeping me in suspense; I'm going to explode from anxiety!"
Ruan Fuxi looked at him and thought to herself that he seemed so foolish; no wonder he couldn't compete with his stepmother and younger brother.
She composed herself. "The fate of a Celestial Lone Star indeed cannot be changed, but this is not your true fate. Your original fate is one of great wealth and prosperity throughout your life; it was just swapped later on."
Gong Changle was furious upon hearing this. "Who would be so heartless as to swap my fate? If I find out who it is, I swear I’ll beat them to a pulp!"
Then he anxiously asked Ruan Fuxi, "Ancestor, do you know who swapped my prosperous fate? Can it be switched back?"
Ruan Fuxi nodded at him. "It can be switched back."
She continued, "As for who your fate was swapped with, you can take a guess."
Many faces flashed through Gong Changle's mind, but in the end, he shook his head. "I don't know."
Ruan Fuxi sighed and said directly, "Alright then, it was your stepmother's son."
Gong Changle's expression turned somewhat sad upon hearing this, but he wasn't particularly shocked.
In fact, he had already formed some guesses in his heart.
"Ancestor, why do you think he would do this? Although our relationship is just average, I am his biological brother."
Gong Changle longed for familial affection. Over the years, he had wanted to integrate into the family, but his father had always kept his distance. His mother, while caring, made him feel that her concern for him was different from that for his younger brother.
However, Gong Changle had already learned in the livestream that he was not Qi Hui's biological son. Reflecting on the superficial concern he had received over the years, he began to understand the truth.
Ruan Fuxi raised an eyebrow at him. "Who said you were his biological brother?"
Gong Changle was taken aback, unable to believe it. "Ancestor, what do you mean by that?"
He quickly followed up with another question, "Am I not my father's biological son? Is that why he has never been close to me?"
Ruan Fuxi smiled. "No, you are indeed his biological son."
Gong Changle was stunned for a moment before excitement surged within him. "Ancestor, are you saying that Gong Changshun isn’t my father’s biological son? My dad let Qi Hui cheat on him!"
Ruan Fuxi's lips twitched slightly. "That’s correct."
Upon hearing this news, Gong Changle immediately wanted to call his father but was stopped by Ruan Fuxi.
"Don’t call yet; you don’t have any evidence in hand. Go back and get a few paternity tests done first. Once you have the results, then go find your dad."
With her reminder, Gong Changle felt it made perfect sense. "Ancestor, you're so smart! Otherwise, my dad definitely wouldn’t believe me!"
After saying that, he excitedly jumped up from the sofa, ready to collect evidence for the paternity test.
Gong Changle was eager to see his father's expression when he found out that Gong Changshun, whom he had cared for all these years, wasn’t his biological son. It would surely be quite a spectacle—after all, he had raised someone else's son for over a decade.
But just as Gong Changle reached the door, he suddenly turned back and looked at Ruan Fuxi with wide eyes. "Ancestor, you still haven’t told me how to change my fate back."
Ruan Fuxi raised an eyebrow. "I was just about to tell you, but weren't you in a hurry to leave?"
