Chapter 52: Life Depends on Acting Skills
Perhaps, I really should leave and come back when his brother-in-law is around. As I turned around, a small Bentley pulled up and stopped in front of me.
From the car, a fashionable woman got out and smiled. “Hey, are the young couple quarreling?”
Chen Zihan and Yuling stopped, and when the car door opened, a man also got out. “What’s going on?”
“Mommy~~~” Immediately, a six or seven-year-old girl also got out of the car and rushed into the woman’s arms.
I recognized them, it was Gu Mingde, Chen Jing, and their child Gu Xiaoshan.
Gu Mingde also smiled at them. “Zihan, let the girls pass.”
“We don’t have any girls.” Chen Zihan said calmly, and Yuling immediately sneered. “Your Xiaolan said she came to find her brother-in-law. Now that her brother-in-law is here, let’s see what she can come up with.”
“Find me?” Gu Mingde looked at Chen Zihan in confusion, and Chen Zihan also remembered something and looked at me.
Everyone followed his gaze and turned around, Chen Jing, Gu Mingde, and I all looked in that direction. The little girl in Chen Jing’s arms blinked her eyes and looked at my side with some fear, my… side?
I looked at Fu Su beside me in confusion. Can the little girl see him?
I started to worry, but Fu Su chuckled softly. “Don’t worry, children have a stronger spiritual sense before the age of seven, but she should only be able to see a blurry shadow.”
“Oh…” I felt relieved, so she can only see a ghost-like figure.
I left the trash can and walked towards the couple, looking at them seriously. “Gu Mingde, Chen Jing, I came to find you.”
“Hmph, keep making up stories, let’s see how far you can go.” Yuling sneered, and Chen Zihan pulled her back angrily. “What are you doing! Stop causing trouble!”
Yuling glared at him. “I’m causing trouble? You’ll see in a moment!”
I continued to look at Chen Jing and Gu Mingde in confusion. “I’m sorry, I lied to Chen Zihan. I said I worked for Ping An Insurance, but I don’t.”
“Look! She admitted it herself!” Yuling pointed at me, feeling victorious. Chen Zihan’s expression became even more puzzled.
“Mommy… scared…” The little girl looked at me and hid in Chen Jing’s arms, causing both Chen Jing and Gu Mingde to become cautious.
“What… what’s going on?” Gu Mingde asked Chen Zihan.
I immediately said, “Chen Zihan doesn’t know anything.” Then, Gu Mingde looked at me again, and I went straight to the point. “Next, I will continue to lie. Whether you believe these lies or not is up to you.”
A cold wind suddenly blew into the villa, and the little girl held onto Chen Jing tightly.
I raised a finger. “The first lie is that I know you want a second child, but it hasn’t happened yet.”
Chen Jing and Gu Mingde looked at me in surprise, and Chen Zihan walked towards me immediately. “Xiaolan, what are you saying?!”
“Zihan! She’s crazy!” Yuling forcefully pulled him back.
I raised a second finger. “The second lie is that I have the ability to see spirits.”
I said it with a sinister expression, and Gu Mingde became angry while Chen Jing continued to stare at me.
“Snicker.” Fu Su burst into laughter. “Xiaolan~~~ You should really consider going to film school. Your acting skills are wasted even in the realm of immortals~~~”
I ignored Fu Su and continued with a serious face, raising a third finger. “The third lie is that I was sent by my master. My master said that in our past life, we had a connection with your family and in this life, I am here to repay a favor by telling you how to have a son to carry on the family line.”
Fu Su had been waiting for me to expose the realm of immortals, but I understand humans better than him. Humans believe in these supernatural things, especially the more accurate the information, the more they believe, especially women.
“Now, if you believe what I said, we can go inside and talk. If you don’t believe, I can leave immediately.” I finished speaking, clasped my hands behind my back, and looked at the couple with a gust of wind lifting my hair and my ancient-style clothes. I stared at them with the most confident gaze. At this moment, if there’s even a hint of guilt in your eyes, the illusion will be broken.
“Where did this little girl come from, spouting nonsense here!” Gu Mingde angrily looked at me. “Go, go, go. If you don’t leave, I’ll call the police.”
It’s normal for men not to believe, so I continued to stand calmly.
“Wait!” Chen Jing stopped Gu Mingde. “I want to hear what this girl has to say.”
“You!”
Chen Jing immediately looked at Chen Zihan, “Zihan, Ling Ling said this girl came early to find your brother-in-law?”
Chen Zihan looked at me in surprise and nodded dumbly. Yuling also clung to Chen Zihan’s arm in astonishment, “She even made up the ability to see ghosts…”
Chen Jing handed her daughter to Chen Zihan and immediately took my hand, “Come in and talk, come in.”
“She’s just a scammer! Trying to swindle money!” Gu Mingde said.
I smiled at him, “Master said he knows you don’t believe, so he doesn’t charge any money.”
“See that!” Chen Jing pushed Gu Mingde and looked at me immediately, “Who is your master? Is it the one from Xiangshan?”
She kept asking as she pulled me along.
I still smiled mysteriously, “Master said it’s not to be revealed. It’s fate. Master wants to resolve it in this lifetime.”
“Oh, I understand, I understand.” Chen Jing pulled me into the study on the second floor. After calling Gu Mingde to join us, he closed the door. Yuling ran over with an incredulous look on her face, as if she was ready to eavesdrop.
Chen Jing invited me to sit down, Gu Mingde shook his head with a sigh, and sat down on the side. Chen Jing looked at me unquestioningly, “So, how did your master say to resolve it?”
I said, “Fate cannot be revealed…”
“Look! She’s a scammer!” Gu Mingde was getting increasingly frustrated, “Just say it, how much money do you want?”
“Ghost money?” I chuckled, Gu Mingde was taken aback, and Fu Su leaned against the window with a smile behind his mask.
My expression began to resemble the witch on the TV, “The misfortune on your bodies is due to someone’s death.”
“Squeak!” Gu Mingde and Chen Jing both jumped up from their seats, and Chen Jing looked at me with almost terror in her eyes, “Who are you, really?”
At this moment, it was Chen Jing who seemed guilty.
Gu Mingde looked at me in astonishment, “Are you telling the truth?”
The situation took a 180-degree turn, as Gu Mingde started to believe in me more and more, while Chen Jing became increasingly skeptical.
“Call… the police, call the police!” Chen Jing reached for her phone, but Gu Mingde immediately held her back, “It’s because you believe in her words!”
Chen Jing was almost hysterical, “She’s just a scammer!”
I stood up, and both Chen Jing and Gu Mingde looked at me. I smiled at them, “I said, I came to resolve your misfortune. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. Master is also doing this for your own good. Because fate cannot be revealed, I can only go this far.” Hehe, I didn’t expose the realm of immortals, did I? I’m just using the methods of human charlatans to guide them.
“So what should we do?” Gu Mingde really believed, indicating his guilt.
“You believe her!” Chen Jing pulled Gu Mingde, “She must have known that woman before, it’s been so many years, why is she still lingering!”
I looked at Chen Jing, “I don’t know her, I am your brother’s classmate. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Chen Zihan.”
Chen Jing’s expression froze, “You’re my brother’s classmate? So, six years ago, you were in Zhejiang?”
“Yes.” I nodded, “So, I don’t know. I just brought the message. How to resolve this misfortune, you have to find it within your own hearts.” I pointed to my heart.
Chen Jing and Gu Mingde stared at me dumbfounded, and the weather outside suddenly turned gloomy. For some reason, Fu Su became alert and turned to look out the window. Suddenly, he shouted, “Be careful!” He leaped in front of me, blocking me with his hand. At the same time, I saw a dark membrane pushing forward from the outside world, enveloping the entire room. The whole world seemed to be instantly tainted with a layer of dark green, as if doomsday had arrived!
By the time Fu Su leaped in front of me, the membrane had quickly entered the study, instantly wrapping the entire room. In that moment, the eyes of Gu Mingde and Chen Jing grew wider and wider. The direction they were looking at was Fu Su!
Fu Su seemed to appear from the air, appearing on all the mirrors in the study.
“Ah—!” Chen Jing screamed, “Ghost! Ghost!” “Bang!” The door was suddenly pushed open, and Chen Zihan rushed in, “What’s happening?”
“Ah!” Yuling’s exclamation came from behind.
Fu Su looked at Chen Jing with a menacing air, “Shut up, Auntie~” His pleasant voice and kingly aura instantly intimidated Chen Jing. I even saw a hint of adoration in her eyes.
Oh my! Seriously! Fu Su’s mask is so powerful? But the current situation is so strange! The whole world has become eerily quiet after being enveloped by the barrier.
I looked at Chen Zihan and Yuling, they also saw Fu Su and were staring at my face in surprise. I looked at the glass door on the side bookshelf, and indeed, my mask was already visible on the mirrors.
“Something’s wrong?” I immediately asked Fu Su.
Fu Su’s black mask fell into a special silence. The sudden appearance of the barrier was definitely not a good sign.
Just then, the ground began to shake for no reason, like an earthquake. In the swimming pool directly in front of the study window, the water began to churn.
Fu Su walked towards the window, and I followed behind him. Everyone in the room looked at us in panic.
A huge vortex started to form in the pool, getting bigger and bigger. The ground tremors became more intense. Just as a beam of light suddenly shot out from the pool, Fu Su immediately pushed open the window and leaped onto it. He turned to me and said seriously, “Quick, take the mortals away!”
“Understood!” As Fu Su flew out, I looked at everyone and shouted, “Run!”
“Boom!” The entire villa shook. “Crash!” An antique lamp fell from the ceiling, startling everyone as they turned and ran. Yuling grabbed Chen Zihan and ran outside.
Gu Mingde and Chen Jing quickly ran towards the door. I looked down and saw a beam of light shooting out from the swirling vortex in the water. Fu Su had already landed on top of the vortex with his sword. Just then, the beam of light began to crack, as if space and time were tearing apart, and a person gradually emerged from within!
What the heck is going on?!
