Chapter 14: It Really Works

Chapter 14

Si Yuejing squeezed the talisman in his pocket, a flash of determination passing through his eyes. Now he could only give it a try.

He walked to the bedside and took out the talisman, placing it on Old Master Si's forehead.

"Little Yuejing, what are you doing?"

"Big brother, what are you doing?" Everyone was shocked to see this and stared at Si Yuejing.

"I'll explain it to you in a bit." Si Yuejing said and was about to shout "Ling" as Ling Yue had instructed, when he saw his father quickly run to the bedside and reach out to remove the talisman from Old Master Si's forehead.

Si Yuejing quickly grabbed his father's hand, "Dad, don't move it."

"Let go of me and tear up this thing." Si's father glared angrily at Si Yuejing.

"Dad, please believe me this time. I won't harm grandfather." Si Yuejing held on to his father's hand. He believed in Ling Yue and believed that she wouldn't lie to him.

"Qianqian, tear off the thing on grandfather's forehead." Seeing that Si Yuejing was stubbornly delusional, anger churned in Si's father's heart.

"Okay." Si Qianqian quickly stepped forward.

Hearing this, Si Yuejing no longer hesitated and immediately shouted "Ling!"

Just as Si Qianqian was about to reach out to take the talisman on Old Master Si's forehead, the talisman turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared, leaving only a smudge of ash on Old Master Si's forehead.

Everyone was stunned by this scene. What was going on? Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m

Old Master Si opened his eyes to see that he was lying in the hospital. "How did I end up in the hospital?" He remembered he was playing with the jade turtle in his room when he suddenly became dizzy and didn't remember anything after that.

"You know her?" Si Yuejing looked at Si Qianqian, with a glimmer of expectation in his eyes.

"Ling Yue goes to the same school as me. She's the young miss of the Ling family. But a few days ago, she was severely burned in a fire while trying on her wedding dress. I heard she was burned very badly on her face and body, and her family also disowned her. Big brother, don't you read the papers? The papers have been full of news about Ling Yue and the Ling family."

"She was burned in a fire?" Si Yuejing thought of the bandages wrapped around Ling Yue.

Si Qianqian nodded. "Ling Yue is the school belle at our school. She's beautiful and has an excellent fiance, Zhou Mucheng of the Zhou family. Ling Yue was originally going to marry Zhou Mucheng this week, but a fire suddenly broke out while she was trying on her wedding dress. She survived but was badly burned on her face and body, and her family also disowned her. Big brother, don't you read the news? The papers have been full of news about Ling Yue and the Ling family these days."

"I'll go buy a paper." Si Yuejing didn't know if the Ling Yue he met was the same Ling Yue his sister mentioned, but he really wanted to read the news reports about Ling Yue now.

He usually only read some dental magazines and never glanced at the newspapers delivered daily to his home, so he was oblivious to real news.

At the newsstand outside the hospital, Si Yuejing bought two newspapers and quickly found the reports on Ling Yue. The reports included a photo of firefighters carrying Ling Yue out of the fire, her face obscured, but his intuition told him this was Ling Yue, the Ling Yue he knew.

He didn't expect her to have suffered so much yet remain so optimistic. The next time he saw her, he would definitely help her and let her know that even without family, she still had a friend like him who cared about her.

At this time, Ling Yue was at the telecom office applying for broadband service. She filled out the forms and handed them to the staff member.

The staff quickly processed the application and handed Ling Yue two cell phones and the service contract. "Here are your phones and contract. The installation will be done tomorrow morning."

"Thank you." Ling Yue took the phones and contract and left the telecom office.

Seeing it was still early, Ling Yue decided to stop by the stock exchange. She wanted to check today's stock trends and see if they matched her analysis from yesterday.

Entering the stock exchange, she saw it was crowded everywhere. Ling Yue glanced around the lobby and saw an empty spot in a corner, heading over.

She had just sat down when the auntie sitting next to her turned and cheerfully struck up a conversation. "Little girl, you're here to trade stocks too? Have you got your eye on any particular stocks?"
