CH 17

Yang Ming looked shocked.

Shen Ye smiled and said, “If you don’t believe me, you can go check it yourself.”

He dropped a bomb and walked back to Ye Ze’s side with a smile, leaving Yang Ming standing there, doubting his existence.

Yang Ming almost believed it. Normally, he and Dai Zhiyin only communicated privately to be safe. They appeared to have no connection on the surface. Since Shen Ye could point out their relationship, it proved that he wasn’t making things up. Moreover, even Bajiao Entertainment and Fu Yu Industry recognized Shen Ye’s fortune-telling skills.

Thinking back to Yang Jizu’s appearance, he seemed to resemble Dai Zhiyin more. Yang Ming had a delicate and handsome appearance, which was why he was able to deceive Shen Ye’s mother. But Dai Zhiyin had a rough appearance, and Yang Jizu was tall and strong. Someone even said before that Yang Jizu didn’t resemble him much. The more Yang Ming thought about it, the more he felt that Liu Yuejuan might have betrayed him.

Thinking that Liu Yuejuan and Dai Zhiyin might have been secretly together for more than 20 years and even his beloved son was Dai Zhiyin’s, he was filled with rage and cursed, “A pair of scoundrels!”

Shen Ye admired Yang Ming’s furious appearance for a while before turning to Ye Ze and saying, “Let’s go in.”

This was just the beginning. There would be many days ahead when Yang Ming would be infuriated.

Evil people will always have their own enemies. He just needs to wait and watch the show.

Ye Ze turned his head and glanced at the butler.

The butler understood and ordered the bodyguards, “Put him in the car and drive away.”

Of course, Yang Ming couldn’t drive and all of his subordinates were knocked down by the Ye family’s bodyguards. The butler sent someone to drive the car out of the villa gate and then threw Yang Ming’s car to the side of the road before returning.

As the car drove away, Shen Ye said to Ye Ze, “I don’t want to kill them off so soon. Let them fight like dogs first.”

Ye Ze replied, “Hmm, do whatever you want.”

“Wait and see. There will be a good show soon.” Shen Ye’s eyes sparkled. Just now, he had tortured Yang Ming a bit, so he was in a particularly good mood.

Ye Ze looked at Shen Ye, and the young man’s radiant appearance made his heart feel light as well.

He smiled and rubbed Shen Ye’s head.

Shen Ye didn’t notice his gesture because he was thinking about a serious problem: “It seems that I need to set up a formation so that random people won’t come and disturb Grandma in the future.”

With the peachwood jade brush, whether it’s drawing talismans or setting up formations, things went much faster. He set up a mind-altering array around the courtyard and finally tapped the array’s eyes three times with the jade brush. Afterward, a dome-like structure appeared above the entire villa but ordinary people couldn’t see it.

Ye Ze had been accompanying him all along.

Shen Ye clapped his hands and said, “Done.”

Ye Ze nodded. The butler held a basin of water and stood beside them. Ye Ze personally wrung out the towel and wiped Shen Ye’s hands.

Shen Ye did not refuse and even secretly touched Ye Ze’s slender fingers.

Ye Ze: “……”

What a little pervert.

As soon as Ye Ze finished wiping Shen Ye’s hands, Xu Sisi came back.

She saw the two of them facing each other as soon as she got out of the car, both with their heads down and one still holding the other’s hand…

What was going on here?

“You guys are too sticky, aren’t you?” Xu Sisi stood at the gate and teased them. “Shen Ye, please remember that you’re not married yet.”

Shen Ye scratched his face, stepped back, and kept a distance from Ye Ze. He turned his head and snorted, “We’re engaged, thank you very much!”

Ye Ze’s gaze still fell on him. This kid probably hasn’t matured yet or else he wouldn’t have blushed a little when teased. Ye Ze lightly pursed his lips and secretly told himself that some things can’t be rushed.

While Xu Sisi was teasing Shen Ye, she tried to enter the courtyard but found that she couldn’t get in.

Shen Ye grinned and said, “Hmph, since you made fun of me, I won’t let you in!”

Since he could set up an array, he could naturally control it.

Xu Sisi: “……”

When she was finally allowed in, she found out that Shen Ye had set up a mind-altering array around the villa. It sounded mysterious and impressive and she was immediately impressed. She didn’t want to tease him anymore.

During dinner, Shen Ye placed the dishes on the table and Xu Sisi was stunned. “Didn’t you say you can’t cook?”

Shen Ye replied, “You gave me a cooking app, it’s very simple.”

Xu Sisi was completely impressed. Maybe some people are just born with the ability to cook, she can’t even stir-fry a simple vegetable dish without burning the pot. She took a bite of the lion’s head meatball and praised it, “It’s delicious!”

“It seems I have a talent for cooking,” Shen Ye said with a smile, his eyes curved as he served Ye Ze a piece of chicken. “Quick, try it.”

Ye Ze’s gaze was deep and he silently looked at him.

“Teasing you.” Shen Ye felt uneasy under the gaze and awkwardly put the chicken back into his own bowl. He then picked up a piece of braised pork and offered it to Ye Ze, saying, “Give it a try.”

Ye Ze ate elegantly and slowly swallowed before commenting, “Mmm, it’s really delicious.”

Shen Ye became proud and said, “Maybe someday I’ll become a chef!”

Xu Sisi supported him, saying, “Then you’ll be a master and a chef.”

However, Ye Ze looked at him and asked, “Isn’t the cook’s food delicious?”

Shen Ye remembered the cook’s cooking in the past few days and replied, “It’s delicious.”

Ye Ze said, “Then let the cook keep cooking from now on.”

Shen Ye stared at him and exclaimed, “Didn’t you say my cooking was delicious? Are you lying to me?!”

“It’s delicious, I’m not lying to you.” Ye Ze looked at him seriously and continued, “But cooking is tiring and I don’t want you to tire yourself out.”

Shen Ye was caught off guard by his sweet words!

“You asked me to please you, didn’t you? I’m cooking to please you! How can you deprive me of my right to please you?!” Shen Ye patted his hot face, thinking to himself that as a poor person, he only could please through cooking!

Seeing his slightly red face, Ye Ze’s lips curved upwards and he said gently, “Well, then it’s up to you.”

His voice was too gentle and carried a hint of indulgence, causing Shen Ye’s face to turn even redder.

Xu Sisi and Grandma Shen listened to their conversation the whole time and couldn’t help but smile.

Halfway through the meal, Xu Sisi suddenly said, “By the way, the school called me and asked when you’ll return to class.”

“Class?!” Shen Ye panicked and dropped his chopsticks. “I still have to go to school?!”

He remembered that the original owner had been accepted into a prestigious university, but Liu Yuejuan had lied and said that Grandma Shen was overseas for treatment. She promised that if he transferred to the film academy, Grandma Shen could watch him on TV.

At that time, the original owner was very fond of his grandmother and stupidly believed her, so he agreed to transfer to the film academy.

Xu Sisi glanced at him and said, “Before you joined the drama crew, I took two months off for you. Now that you’ve quit, the school is asking when you’ll return.”

Shen Ye wailed. He had never thought of going to school! Suddenly, the spicy chicken in front of him no longer tasted good.

“If you don’t want to go, then don’t go,” Ye Ze said after pondering for a moment.

Shen Ye’s eyes lit up. “Can I really not go?”

“No, he’s only twenty and it’s the age for going to school,” Xu Sisi strongly opposed. Even if she wanted to spoil Shen Ye, she was afraid that Ye Ze would spoil him too much and ruin him in the future.

Shen Ye pouted. “I just want to make money and support my family!”

Hearing the words “support my family,” Ye Ze’s eyes became even softer.

Xu Sisi said, “You can make money while studying!” She felt like a parent taking care of a mischievous child, worrying constantly.

In the end, Shen Ye could only compromise.

Grandma Shen smiled as she watched the three of them discuss without interrupting. He was fortunate to have a prosperous family business, a fiancé who doted on him, and someone like a sister planning his life for him. It was truly wonderful.

After Yang Ming was sent to the hospital by his subordinates, Liu Yuejuan rushed over upon receiving the news, accompanied by Dai Zhiyin. Since Yang Ming couldn’t show up in person before, Liu Yuejuan would contact Dai Zhiyin for him. He never thought that these two would betray him.

As soon as Liu Yuejuan entered the ward, she threw herself into Yang Ming’s arms, touched his injured face with heartache, and tearfully asked, “Old Yang, how are you? Are you okay?”

It must be said that Liu Yuejuan was very beautiful, with tears in her eyes when she cried. Otherwise, Yang Ming would not have been unable to forget her and keep her by his side all the time.

If it were in the past, Yang Ming would have softened, but today he just lightly said, “It’s nothing.” Then his gaze fell on Dai Zhiyin.

Reminded by Shen Ye, the more he looked at Dai Zhiyin now, the more he felt that Yang Jizu and Dai Zhiyin were alike.

“Why did you both come together?” Yang Ming asked casually.

Liu Yuejuan said coyly, “We were worried about you.”

When she spoke, she intentionally glanced at Dai Zhiyin. Normally, Yang Ming didn’t notice, but this time he saw that Liu Yuejuan was giving a flirtatious look at Dai Zhiyin!

This despicable person!

Yang Ming was so angry that his eyes turned red and he clenched his fists to control his rage. No, he couldn’t get angry now. He was still lying in bed. If Liu Yuejuan and Dai Zhiyin teamed up to kill him, he wouldn’t be able to complain to the King of Hell.

In the following days, Xu Sisi handled various certificates and the company temporarily set up its address in a villa, preparing to officially open for business.

Meanwhile, Shen Ye went to school every day.

On his first day back at school, he caused a sensation.

Ever since Mr. Shi had retweeted his Weibo, everyone knew that Shen Ye could tell fortunes and that he was close to Mr. Shi. As students of the Film Academy, Shen Ye’s classmates were already on the brink of entering the entertainment industry, and some had even started filming. Of course, they wanted to establish a good relationship with Shen Ye. Ba Jiao Entertainment was a big company. If they could get Shen Ye’s help to enter the company and even gain Mr. Shi’s favor, that would be a great thing.

Everyone’s eyes were shining and they surrounded Shen Ye as soon as class ended, asking questions excitedly—

“Are you really planning to retire? Did you really cure Mr. Shi’s mother’s illness?”

“Hey, Shen Ye, can you tell me when I will become famous?”

“I want to know too, I want to know too!”

“…”

Shen Ye felt a bit helpless. He wasn’t familiar with these people. He had only transferred to this school in his second year and immediately joined the drama club to start filming. He didn’t spend much time with his classmates and was only familiar with the class monitor and the student union president.

But he still responded with a smile, “My shop will be opening soon. You can follow my Weibo and I’ll calculate for you when the time comes.” These people were his future clients and he was patient.

Everyone agreed.

Although fortune-telling sounded a bit ridiculous, it was good to make more friends, especially since this friend had some favor with President Shi.

Someone challenged Shen Ye, “Does anyone still believe in fortune-telling these days? Is it just a scam to make money?”

This voice was very loud and abrupt amidst the laughter and cheer.

Shen Ye looked toward the voice and saw a girl with a ponytail walking toward him. She was quite pretty and innocent-looking, but her eyes were unnaturally drooping at the corners, giving off a sharp and sarcastic feeling.

This female classmate was named Xiao Yunqing. Shen Ye recalled that the original owner had never had any conflicts with her and they had no interaction whatsoever. Why would she target him?

Someone whispered in his ear, “She is Xiao Yiyi’s cousin.”

Shen Ye: “…”

Oh.
