Chapter 58 Dead and alive again Part 1

At 10.00 pm, the semi-old residential building community has become quiet. In the southeast corner of the community, there is a single low-rise building, only 6 stories high. There is no elevator and the corridor is relatively narrow. It is probably because the conditions are not good so no one wants to live here. Only the 1st and 5th floors have lights.

Standing by the window, one can hear a middle-aged woman scolding angrily, “You are worthless! If it weren’t for the house my parents bought me, I wouldn’t even have a place to live when I married you! Didn’t you marry into my family because I had a house under my name back then? Right now, my brother is in urgent need of money, what’s wrong if I give him 100,000 yuan? You still don’t make enough, a cook! Someone worthless with no future! What a loser!”

The man suppressed his anger and said angrily, “How much money do I earn in a year? You can’t simply give out 100,000 yuan at once!”

“Didn’t my parents give us this house when we got married? What’s wrong with giving out 100,000 yuan? My brother is buying a house for his son. Shouldn’t I, as a sister, help him? If you are capable, then don’t live in my house. Get out of here. Aiya! Even your job as a cook was found by my brother, otherwise you wouldn’t even be a cook!”

After being scolded so much by his wife, the man’s shoulders slumped. He has been suppressed by this reason for 16 years, he was almost going crazy. His face turned red from the anger and he said, “Then you have to discuss it with me first, I earned the money! If you just give them away without asking, who am I in this family?”

“Discuss?” the woman sneered, “Why do I need to discuss with you? I have the final say in this family. If you don’t like it, you can divorce me, and you can sleep on the street!”

Driven away by his wife’s unreasonable words, the man slammed the door furiously and went directly to the basement.

There is a wall separating the basement of this building from other buildings. There is a very thick fireproof and explosion-proof door in the middle, which is not opened at ordinary times. This results in a very good sound insulation effect underground, and it is even more eerily quiet at night.

Hong Dou followed Liang Jianxin quietly. She found no problems upstairs, so she followed him to the basement.

[Caution: The description of abuse starts from here]

Liang Jianxin walked to the door of his basement, took out a key, and opened the airtight iron door of the basement. As soon as he opened the door, the pungent smell of blood and putrid smell, mixed with the smell of moldy things filled the air. After Liang Jianxin entered, he closed the iron door and turned on the light. What he saw was a pure black cat hanging on the wall. Iron nails had been hammered into its limbs. The wounds on its body were crisscrossed, and bones were visible in some places. The blood stained the cat’s fur and dripped onto the ground. Some of it had solidified and turned a disgusting brown color.

The kitten was only about half a year old and was thin. Only its slowly rising belly proved that the cat was still alive. Hearing the noise, it glanced at the door with dull eyes. Its blue eyes struggled slightly, but it had no strength and could not move at all. It opened its mouth and wanted to scream, but unfortunately, its vocal cords had been severed. Losing the ability to make any sound, the kitten could only watch the demon-like person come in and walk up to it.

Liang Jianxin took a knife from the iron shelf at the corner of the wall and made a gesture on the cat’s belly. Seeing the kitten struggling feebly, he suddenly laughed out. His face was distorted and he bared his teeth. His eyes widened to their maximum size, and he scolded viciously, “Bitch! I’ll cut open your belly right now! Take out your heart and liver! See how you gonna bully me! Who asks you to look down on me! Go to hell! Go to hell!!”

At this moment, a gust of wind blew over, and a ghostly cry sounded in the small basement. The dim lights suddenly went out, and the bloody and pungent basement became even more eerie and terrifying. It seemed as if someone walked past him and brought a gust of cool wind, which made the atmosphere eerie. The chill gave Liang Jianxin a layer of goosebumps, and his scalp turned numb.

“Who?!” Liang Jianxin raised the knife, his voice changed with fear, “Who is doing this? Is there anyone?”

Clang clang clang!

The rusty iron shelf placed next to the wall suddenly shook. A sack on the shelf was swung down from above and hit Liang Jianxin directly. In the darkness, Liang Jianxin couldn’t dodge, and he was so frightened that he waved the knife in his hand as he ran away.

At this moment, the light suddenly came on again, and the sack had been untied. Inside were the bodies of kittens and puppies, all of whom had been tortured to death, with injuries everywhere on their bodies. The brown blood has long since solidified, and some of the bodies have stuck together. Moreover, the bodies of these small animals were incomplete. Some have no eyes, some have no ears, some have their stomachs cut open, and some have half of their skin cut off. Even the bones are exposed.

The black cat on the wall has disappeared.

Liang Jianxin waited for a while and found that nothing happened. He held up the knife tremblingly and went back. After discovering that the cat was gone, he looked around in horror. He found that the surrounding area was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop, and there were only dead bodies of cats and dogs lying on the ground. Shivering, Liang Jianxin put the carcasses of these small animals back into the sacks with a pale face. He dragged them to the first floor with great effort, threw them on his electric tricycle used for grocery shopping, and dragged them to a small river in the northeast of the community side.

The river here has long dried up and is surrounded by weeds half as tall as a man. Among these weeds, there is a large pit more than 2 meters deep. Liang Jianxin threw all the corpses in with familiarity and ran away on a tricycle.

…

Hong Dou hugged the black cat and returned home anxiously. She stopped at the door and called out, “Young Master! Open the door!”

Gu Ye, who was lying on the sofa chatting with Yu Ze on the phone, was already sleepy. He sat up lazily when he heard Hong Dou’s call. But realizing the anxiety in her words, he ran over barefoot and opened the door to see a dying cat.

Gu Ye was shocked awake and asked, “What’s wrong with this cat? Send him to the hospital quickly!”

Gu Ye put on his shoes anxiously and heard Hong Dou explain, “That chef abused cats and dogs. I saw nearly a hundred souls near the basement.”

“Nearly a hundred?” Gu Ye’s face turned cold, “Is he crazy? God has a compassionate heart for all things. Cats and dogs are also precious life!”

Gu Ye ignored the blood stains on the cat, hugged the cat, wrapped it in a coat, and ran outside.

Hong Dou floated behind, “Master, I think this cat can see me.”

Gu Ye glanced at the cat in his arms and said in surprise, “It’s actually a ‘Xuan’ cat*?”

*Black cat, but implied to be related to supernatural things

At this time, a taxi happened to pass by the gate. Gu Ye waved to call the taxi and hurried up, saying anxiously, “Uncle, go to the nearest pet hospital, hurry up!”

The driver smelled the smell of blood and was shocked. The moment he opened his mouth, a string of Northeastern accent came out, “Tis cat or dog, wat’s wrong wif it?”

Gu Ye looked at the cat with a cold expression, it had already reached the state of soul separation, “Met a scumbag.”

The driver also knew that this matter was urgent. With a curse (at the perp), he stepped on the accelerator, and the car suddenly drove out, going as fast as possible within the speed limit. The nearest pet hospital from the school is more than 20 minutes away. The driver is really nice and the speed is already very fast so Gu Ye can’t rush him anymore. He touches the cooling body of the cat in his arms, and his face becomes icier.

On the other hand, the kitten’s dull eyes gradually gained brightness. It looked at Gu Ye’s face with wide eyes and smelled his scent. It feebly licked the blood on his body and struggled to get up.

Gu Ye’s expression became increasingly ugly. He touched the kitten’s head and said softly, “Don’t move, be strong.”

The kitten raised its head and licked Gu Ye’s fingers. But after that, it had no more strength to get up again and collapse into Gu Ye’s arms. Its eyes gradually lost their luster. Slowly, it slowly closed its eyes, leaving just a gap, still staring closely at Gu Ye’s gentle eyes. As if reluctant to let go of the warmth in Gu Ye’s arms, it stretched out its claws and tried to hook Gu Ye’s clothes. However, its nails had been pulled out with pliers. No matter how hard it tried, it was in vain.[1]

Gu Ye looked at the bloody cat paw print-like plum blossom left on his arm with a cold face. His eyes turned cold, and he bit his finger and touched the kitten’s forehead. Then he drew a complicated curse seal in the air before pressing it on the kitten’s body.

“Yang does not control the soul (hun), Yin does not control the soul (po), We are summoning you back, return to your body!”

As soon as Gu Ye finished speaking, the kitten suddenly opened its eyes, and a glimmer of light returned to them again.

Gu Ye placed his bloody finger on the kitten’s forehead and asked gently, “Will you be my cat?”

The little kitten looked at Gu Ye, the blood between its eyebrows miraculously dried up, and its breathing became clearer.

Gu Ye smiled and finally breathed a sigh of relief, “From now on, your life will be mine. In our line of profession, each person can only keep one spiritual pet. I originally wanted to contract a lion, tiger, or something, but unexpectedly I signed a cat. You have to live up to the expectations of your type. Chinese rural cats have 9 lives, what more you are the legendary black cat.”

The taxi driver saw Gu Yu muttering away and even using some ‘evil occult gestures’, so he accelerated again. 3 minutes later, the driver said, “Young man, get ready to get off. There are still 50 meters left! Alright, we are here!”

Gu Ye threw away 100 yuan to the driver. Saying no need for a change, he rushed into the pet hospital with the cat in his arms.

The doctors and nurses were also dumbfounded when they saw the cat, “How can it be abused like this? How pitiful!”

Gu Ye urged, “Save it quickly!”

The doctor said regretfully, “This cat can’t be saved. The injuries are too serious. Look at the injuries on its body yourself. Its vocal cord has been cut.”

Gu Ye replied with a cold face, “How do you know it can’t be saved without trying? Rural cats have a good physique, it can survive. Listen to me, save it!”

Since Gu Ye said that, the doctor had no choice but to ask the nurse to prepare for the operation. But he added, “I want to tell you something in advance. It may cost a lot of money to save it, and it may not be possible to save it even with money.”

Gu Ye nodded, “My financial ability allows it and I am willing to save it. If you can save it, I will send a gratitude pennant to your hospital.”

With Gu Ye’s words, the doctor said nothing and hurriedly performed the operation.

Sitting on the chair outside the operating room, Gu Ye looked at the blood all over his body and sighed helplessly.

A little nurse poured a glass of water for Gu Ye and advised, “Don’t blame the doctors for talking too much. Because with such serious injuries, even the cat owners themselves often refused to save them. Also, with that amount of money needed to rescue the cat, it can be used to buy a new one instead. Sometimes after rescuing the pet, the owners saw the bill and left, simply don’t want the cat anymore. What’s more, some even didn’t pay. Sometimes they will abandon cats and dogs at the slightest health problem. Did you see those?” The little nurse pointed to the cages placed in the corner, “They were all abandoned by their owners and have not been taken back until now.”

Gu Ye looked at his fingertips. The place where the little guy licked seemed to still have warmth. It is just a little life and not some bastards, how could he be so cruel to not care for it? It’s so heartbreaking to let it die in his arms.

The operation lasted for more than 2 hours before the doctor came out. He said with emotion, “It’s a miracle. This little guy’s desire to live was too strong and its life was saved. But the injury was too serious and it was malnourished, so it had to be hospitalized. “

The corners of Gu Ye’s lips curled up, “Thank you for your hard work!”

The surgery fee is more than 5,000 yuan. Daily infusions, nursing care, and meals cost more than 1,000 yuan for a day’s hospitalization. Gu Ye paid a week’s worth of money at once and gave his WeChat and mobile phone number to the doctor. After asking the other party to contact him anytime if he had any questions, Gu Ye left.

After leaving the hospital, Gu Ye asked Hong Dou to take him directly to Liang Jianxin’s home. From a distance, Gu Ye could see a layer of killing aura circulating around the entire building. These killing aura are all emitted by the evil spirits of animals.

Cats and dogs are both spiritual animals. Their IQ is not as high as that of humans, and their soul power is not as strong as that of humans, but it is much higher than other animals. Moreover, Liang Jianxin made their deaths so painful, which made these cats and dogs hold grudges. With such a large number, the same grievances accumulated together and became stronger and stronger. Once they reach the level that can cause substantial harm to people, these evil spirits, whose IQs are only as high as those of children, will definitely attack humans (the same species as Liang Jianxin).

Hong Dou looked at these little animals with distress, “They are so pitiful.”

Gu Ye sneered, “Let’s give them a hand.”

Gu Ye took out his cinnabar pen and quickly drew the 7 talismans, then threw it into the air. The seven talismans formed a circle, surrounding all the resentful spirits. Gu Ye raised his hand and quickly made a few finger gestures. The 7 spiritual talismans quickly gathered in the middle.

Realizing that they had been captured again, the resentful spirits eagerly wanted to break out of the restraint circle. Gu Ye made several gestures with his fingers again and drew a complicated spell with the cinnabar pen in his hand. As soon as the pen tip was raised, the red talisman immediately appeared and swooped over quickly.

All the resentful spirits felt a warm power, making them feel at ease and warm. Gradually, they became quiet. As the talismans tightened, their grievances merged together, forming a billowing grievance that was like a substantial black hair ball. The talisman then hung around the spirit’s neck, forming a circle.

Gu Ye looked at the merged spirits and said seriously, “Where’s there a grudge, there will be revenge. How you torture that scumbag is karma and I won’t care. But if you dare to hurt innocent people, these 7 talismans will be your restraining curse.”

Chapter 57 He will have to rely on me to support him from now on Part 2

After arriving at Yu Ze’s house, Gu Ye couldn’t help but feel happy. The house was still deserted and clean, and it didn’t feel like anyone had lived there. He really doesn’t know how Yu Ze managed to keep it that way. After carrying all the ingredients to the kitchen, Gu Ye checked the stove, pots, and pans. Fortunately, they were all usable.

Yu Ze stood behind Gu Ye with a sullen face and asked awkwardly, “Do you need my help?”

Gu Ye waved his hand, smiled, and pushed the other person out, “No need, you go out and wait, I will finish cooking soon.”

Yu Ze smiled bitterly. This was the first time since he was a child that he felt so powerless and frustrated.

Gu Ye quickly cooked out 4 dishes and a bowl of soup; 2 meat dishes and 2 vegetable dishes. When putting the rice in the bowls, Gu Ye stared at the bowls, and a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes. This scene disappeared after Master passed away. He stopped cooking for a long time because no one would eat it after he cooked the food and no one praised him for making it delicious. Suddenly, Gu Ye felt like he was in another world. Shaking his head to get rid of the thought, Gu Ye shouted, “It’s time to eat, President Yu, bring the soup.”

After Yu Ze sat down, he looked at the dishes which were the vegetables he bought, and now cooked and placed on the plate. He has a look of shock on his face.

Gu Ye asked curiously, “What did you eat when you were abroad?”

Yu Ze said seriously, “Well, I brought a housekeeper, a nanny, a chef, a gardener…”

“Stop!” Gu Ye passed the chopsticks dumbfounded, “Eat.”

Yu Ze could only stop talking about the topic. He took a sip of the soup and raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Gu Ye smiled until his eyes were curved, “Is it delicious?”

Yu Ze nodded and gave a high compliment, “Very good.”

Gu Ye raised his lips with satisfaction, “That’s right, even a picky old man thinks my cooking is delicious.”

After eating, Yu Ze actively helped to clean up. The mysophobic patient wore long gloves and wrapped himself tightly as if he were doing a biochemical experiment. Then Gu Ye watched as Yu Ze continuously dropped 4 plates. Gu Ye helplessly grabbed his white shirt from behind him and pulled him away from the sink like a tail. He had completely despaired of the CEO’s inability to do chores, “Yu Ze, please spare yourself and the plates too.”

Yu Ze: “…”

After cleaning up, Gu Ye began to walk around Yu Ze’s house, especially the study room, checking carefully! Sure enough, Gu Ye saw some funny books on the bottom shelf of the other party’s bookshelf:
“Laws of Love”,
“Escape Singlehood in One Hundred Days”,
“The Magic of Love Turns in Circles”,
“Complete Collection of Earthly Love Words”,
“It’s Not That You’re Not Good Enough, It’s Just That You Don’t Know How to Flirt”

Every time Gu Ye pulled out a book, his expression became uglier. What is all this nonsense?

Yu Ze stood at the door with an innocent look on his face, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Ye looked up tiredly, “You have no experience in love?”

Yu Ze nodded and admitted honestly, “Yes, I’m still learning now.”

Gu Ye stood up tiredly and threw these books into the trash can one by one. “You are so handsome now that you don’t need these at all. Don’t buy such unreliable things in the future.”

Yu Ze looked into Gu Ye’s eyes and promised seriously, “Okay, I won’t buy it again.”

Gu Ye threw away the last one, “Don’t read it again, forget what you have read!”

Yu Ze frowned, “It’s a bit difficult to forget.”

Gu Ye glared at Yu Ze fiercely, “Then restrain yourself and stop sending me nonsense words, or I’ll beat you!”

Yu Ze nodded quickly, “Okay.”

After receiving the assurance, Gu Ye’s expression softened and he walked to Yu Ze. He slightly raised his face to look at the other person and had the urge to pinch this handsome face. Yu Ze looked at the face in front of him and couldn’t help but lower his head slightly. Gu Ye swiftly turned his head away, avoiding Yu Ze’s movements, and pointed to the box containing the broken sword on the table, “That! I still want to look at that!”

Yu Ze looked at the blushing tips of Gu Ye’s ears and smiled. Then he walked into the study, opened the lid, and showed Gu Ye, “It’s still the same, nothing changed.”

The ancient long sword was still broken into two pieces, but the killing aura remained unabated. Gu Ye touched the sword’s body, and the killing aura made him feel a chill. Feeling the resistance of the soul living inside, Gu Ye smiled, quickly stopped, and said apologetically, “Sorry.”

Yu Ze asked in confusion, “What?”

Gu Ye smiled and said, “Can this broken sword be repaired?”

Yu Ze looked at the fracture and asked, “Can glue work?”

Amused by the response, Gu Ye joked, “I can even do it with glutinous rice then. But will it be reliable? Find a professional to fix it.”

Yu Ze disliked how dirty it was, “Is it necessary?”

Gu Ye coaxed with a smile, “Find someone to fix it, and I will tell you something.”

Yu Ze agreed to the request and said dotingly, “Okay, you are the head of the family, I will listen to you.”

Gu Ye pursed his lips with a smile and walked out of the study. On the sofa, he lies down and says, “This head of the family wants to take a nap.”

Yu Ze followed behind and leaned over to look at Gu Ye, “The guest room has been cleaned up. Go to sleep on the bed?”

Gu Ye hugged the pillow and said, “Not going, the sofa is just fine.”

Yu Ze chuckled lightly and sat next to Gu Ye, holding his hand and watching him sleep quietly. Gu Ye reluctantly opened his eyes and saw Yu Ze’s eyes. He couldn’t help but want to laugh. Such a proud Son of Heaven can be so satisfied just by holding his hand. This thought is enough.

After Gu Ye fell asleep, Yu Ze got up and returned to the bedroom. He took out a few more books from the bedside table, thought about it, and threw them into the trash can. In order to prevent Gu Ye from finding it, President Yu hid the trash can behind the curtain with a cold face, planning to throw it away secretly after Gu Ye left. After checking that Gu Ye would not notice even if he came into his bedroom, Yu Ze returned to the living room and sat next to Gu Ye. He gently grabbed Gu Ye’s hand and held it in the palm of his hand. His soft eyes seemed to be looking at a hard-won treasure.

…

At around 9.00 pm, Gu Ye was sent back to his residence and he flopped on his bed. After thinking about what happened today, he couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth. Not long after, the phone rang. Gu Ye looked at it and saw that it was from Zhao Pengyu. He lay down to answer the call and asked lazily, “What’s the matter?”

“The holiday arrangements have been made. New Year’s Day falls on Saturday and Sunday so we have 3 days off. Will you go home?”

“Yes, how about you guys?”

“We’re all going back, let’s go together. I’ll book a car in advance.”

Gu Ye turned over and sat up, “Okay.”

Zhao Pengyu asked tentatively, “What did you do today? I went to look for you in the evening, but you were not at home.”

Gu Ye smiled, “I went to save the EQ of a successful person. Also, I went to check out the other side of his personality.”

[Banana: Please take note that 他 is ‘He’, and 她 is ‘She’ in writing but both sounded the same [tā] in verbal communication so Zhao Pengyu can’t tell the gender.]

“The other side of her personality? Damn it! You’re in love!”

“En, we just got together, the getting to know each other stage.”

Zhao Pengyu couldn’t believe it at all, “Oh my god, when did it happen? You hid it so well. So how was your observation today?”

A hint of helplessness and tenderness flashed through Gu Ye’s eyes, “He will have to rely on me to support him from now on. Simply someone who can’t distinguish between grains (don’t do physical labors).”

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Pengyu told Xia Xiang worriedly, “No, I feel like something is wrong. Next time he goes out, I want to follow him to see.”

Xia Xiang was lying down playing games, “What do you want to see?”

“I’m worried about him being deceived.”

Xia Xiang didn’t stop doing what he was doing and said without interest, “I don’t want to go, and you shouldn’t go either.”

Zhao Pengyu said worriedly, “That won’t work. With his kind of temper, the only reliable friends around him are us. If we don’t care about him, who will care about him?”

Xia Xiang sighed in despair, ignorance is so blissful.

…

Canteen No. 2.

“Have you heard? A new chef just arrived today, and the meat dish is particularly delicious!”

“Wow! Aren’t we lucky? We don’t have to worry about eating grass anymore! Let’s go and taste it together!”

“Come on, let’s go. That uncle has a good temper. He laughs whenever he talks. It’s so funny!”

During the discussion among the surrounding classmates, Gu Ye, Xia Xiang, and Zhao Pengyu also came to the canteen and lined up at the window (food counter) where they often go.

When the senior sisters queueing in front heard that Gu Ye was coming, they all turned around and said, “Gu Ye, come here!”

Gu Ye was afraid of the enthusiasm of the senior sisters and smiled awkwardly, “No, I’ll just line up here.”

The senior students expressed their regret deeply and teased him, “I know you didn’t bring your mobile phone, so I won’t ask you for WeChat today!”

Gu Ye smiled bitterly, scared of these sisters.

Zhao Pengyu was envious and jealous, “The seniors are all so beautiful.”

Gu Ye sneered, “Your ghost wife is more beautiful.”

Zhao Pengyu suddenly turned pale, “I called you Father, please don’t mention it.”

Gu Ye asked carefully, “Did you damage my bike? You were riding it down the steps and managed to jump off. But my bike got thrown away.”

Zhao Pengyu pretended to be dead, expressionlessly.

Gu Ye looked at Zhao Pengyu’s meal card, and Zhao Pengyu immediately understood, “I’ll treat you! I’m sorry I broke your bicycle! I’ll treat you to lunch!”

Gu Ye sighed, what kind of harmful friend is this?

Finally, it was Gu Ye’s turn, and the new uncle asked good-naturedly, “Young man, which one you want to eat? The beef stew was good today.”

Gu Ye felt the pungent smell of blood on the other person’s body, frowned, and said, “Let’s have one.”

The uncle laughed and took a big spoonful of it, “If you don’t have enough, come again.”

The beef smelled really good, and it was full of color, flavor, and taste. Zhao Pengyu took a big bite when he put it on the table and said, “En! It tastes pretty good!”

Gu Ye frowned, the smell of blood kept filling his nose, and he really couldn’t swallow the meat. Taking a mouthful of rice, Gu Ye swallowed the food with difficulty. Seeing Zhao Pengyu eating the meat, he couldn’t help but retched.

The expressions of Zhao Pengyu and Xia Xiang changed. Xia Xiang quickly handed over the water, “What’s wrong? Are you sick?”

Zhao Pengyu also asked, “Have a bad appetite? Are you pregnant?”

Gu Ye glared at Zhao Pengyu angrily, “Yes, I will give you a younger brother.”

Zhao Pengyu was completely defeated by the rebuke. He put down his chopsticks helplessly and became serious, “Do you want to go to the infirmary?”

“No,” Gu Ye looked at the beef on the plate, “This meat is very good, but the person who cooked it has a strong stench of blood.”

Gu Ye touched the Buddhist beads on his wrist, and the red light flashed on it. Gu Ye whispered, “Sister Hong Dou, follow him and go to his house to see what he is doing.”

Little did Gu Ye know that he would find out about the loss of hundreds of innocent little lives soon.

Chapter 57 He will have to rely on me to support him from now on Part 1

When Zhao Pengyu heard Gu Ye say that he could smell a stench from so far away, he asked with a wicked smile, “Do you have a dog nose?”

Gu Ye raised his foot angrily and kicked Zhao Pengyu under the table, “You want to be beaten?”

Zhao Pengyu felt the pain from being kicked and sucked in several breaths of cold air. He grinned and said, “It’s so far away alright, even dogs can’t smell it from this distance.”

Gu Ye gave Zhao Pengyu a look of disdain and decided to let him realize by himself that people in his profession sometimes don’t just rely on their noses.

Zhao Pengyu realized there was a problem and didn’t dare to make a fuss. “I’m scared when you say that. Will I be able to continue eating here in the future?”

Gu Ye picked up another piece of ribs and said nonchalantly, “Let’s talk about it later. It depends on fate.”

Zhao Pengyu was curious, “Is there anything in the world that doesn’t depend on fate?”

Gu Ye smiled faintly, “Don’t depend on your fate when you don’t want to.”

“Don’t you think this is a contradiction?”

“It’s not a contradiction. You’ll understand when you grow up.”

Gu Ye clicked his tongue a few times and said with a profound expression, “Little friend, you still don’t understand the hardships of the world and the dangers of the world.”

Hearing that, Zhao Pengyu almost sprayed his mouthful of soup. He is already over 1.8 meters tall and Gu Ye said he hasn’t grown up yet.

At this moment, Xia Xiang finally came over with a tray, “It’s so hard to find you guys! There are too many people!”

Zhao Pengyu looked at Xia Xiang’s plate with a smile, “You also want to eat the ribs from the chubby Aunty!”

After Xia Xiang sat down, he took a bite of the ribs and said, “If I don’t eat it now, it will be gone. I just saw that the new chef is already taking over the handover. He will come next Monday.”

Finding that the two of them were looking at each other wrongly, Xia Xiang asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Ye smiled and said, “It’s nothing, let’s eat.”

…

Early on Sunday morning, Gu Ye got dressed, looked at his watch, and went out shortly before 8.00 am. As soon as he left the building, he saw the car coming to pick him up slowly approaching. The driver got out of the car, and it turned out to be the young man who delivered snacks to Gu Ye last time. With a very serious expression, he said, “Master Gu, President Yu asked me to pick you up.”

Gu Ye got into the car with a smile, “Sorry to trouble you.”

As soon as Gu Ye sat down, Yu Ze sent a message: [Got on the car yet?]

Gu Ye: [En, we’re in the car now, don’t worry.]

Yu Ze: [Come directly to my company and I’ll take you out when I’m done.]

Gu Ye: [En.]

Along the way, Gu Ye looked at the scenery and noticed that the leaves had turned yellow. Fallen leaves covered the ground, and another season came in the blink of an eye. Gu Ye looked at the time unnaturally, vaguely looking forward to it. Yu Ze came to look for him once a week which means he watched how the leaves outside the window changed little by little. Gu Ye wondered what Yu Ze was feeling at that time.

There was no traffic jam on the road, and Gu Ye arrived at Yu Ze’s company in an hour and a half. From a distance, Gu Ye saw a layer of purple auspicious clouds floating above the company, as well as the power of golden merit. Gu Ye curved up his lips, thinking that it was as expected from the Son of Heaven. With this merit and God’s favor, he wouldn’t have to worry about the company not getting better.

However, Gu Ye is a little curious, what can Yu Ze do to accumulate merit? So he asked, “This brother, what does your company do?”

The guy looked shocked as if to say you actually don’t know what President Yu does.

Gu Ye smiled sheepishly. He had never asked Yu Ze what he did. For people like him who first look at faces (appearance), then the person themselves before finally wanting to understand that person, there may be no more other than him in this world.

“We are making electronic products, such as robots, computers, and mobile phones. We seek development through technology. Not long ago, the R&D team went to Country M to participate in the World Robot Competition and won the first prize.”

The little brother looked serious but when talking about the company, he proudly explained, “The youngest R&D staff in our company is only 17 years old. There is also a youth group, which the members are still in school. It is funded by President Yu. President Yu said the stronger the young, the stronger we will get. The wisdom of youth is the wisdom of the country. If we don’t train the next generation, there will be no one to take over whatever the previous generation does, which is useless.”

Gu Ye curled his lips and nodded slightly. This is considered research that benefits mankind. The rare thing is Yu Ze’s intention to cultivate talents. Gu Ye’s fingers subconsciously rubbed the watch on his wrist, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. To be honest, Yu Ze doesn’t need to try his best to tease/flirt with him every day. As long as Yu Ze manages to get him(GY) to know him well enough, he will definitely fall in love with Yu Ze and want to take him home. Because this man is too good, everything Yu Ze does touches his heart.

When Gu Ye got out of the car, a few people with Western appearance happened to come out of the building. When Gu Ye saw them, he tilted his head and touched his chin, thoughtfully.

The young man explained, “They are also employees of the company. Do you have any problem with them?”

Gu Ye curled his lips and said regretfully, “I can’t read their face’s features correctly, my Master didn’t teach me about western faces.”

The corner of the young man’s mouth twitched vaguely, not knowing what to say.

When Gu Ye came to Yu Ze’s office, it happened that Yu Ze was busy. Gu Ye was not in a hurry, so he stood at the door and waited quietly. At the same time, he waved his hand to the young man, indicating that he should go and get busy with his own stuff.

“But…”

“Shh!” Gu Ye smiled and whispered, “I’m not in a hurry, and I want to examine him carefully.”

The young man was confused but left helplessly. Gu Ye stood on the side outside the door with a smile. In the gap of the door, he saw Yu Ze who was signing a report. The other party had a cold face and serious expression as he said, “Do this as soon as possible and get it on track within a week.”

“Although I’m pressed for time, I will try my best to hurry up. President Yu, about the salary increase this year…”

Yu Ze frowned, “Isn’t there a regulation to raise wages every year based on seniority?”

“But we have invested a lot of money in research…”

“Nonsense,” Before Yu Ze could speak, Secretary Liu severely criticized, “Ensuring employee welfare first can ensure work efficiency. Stop putting the cart before the horse.”

The man quickly said, “Okay, okay, I understand.”

After waving his hand to let the man go, Secretary Liu said, “I’ll find someone to teach him. If it doesn’t work, we’ll let him go.”

Yu Ze nodded, “En.”

Secretary Liu was shocked, “Boss, you are very easy to talk to today and you seem to be in a really good mood today. Is Master Gu not here yet?”

Yu Ze looked at the other party with disgust, he talked too much.

When he found that there was no one else around, Gu Ye stopped hiding and knocked on the door. He looked at Yu Ze with appreciation and even a hint of admiration. No matter how you look at this person, he is full of good points. If he could just raise his EQ, it would be perfect!

Secretary Liu saw that President Yu’s expressionless face suddenly softened and the corners of his mouth turned up the moment Master Gu appeared. Just as he was about to stand up to greet Gu Ye, he saw that Yu Ze had already stood up and came forward to greet him.

Secretary Liu stood up but thinking that there was nothing for him to do, he sat down. But at the next moment, he felt that it was not good to sit down while his boss was still standing so he stood up again. At this moment, he saw Yu Ze grabbing Gu Ye’s hand. The two looked at each other and smiled. The scene shocked Secretary Liu into sitting down on the sofa.

Gu Ye raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, “Did I delay your work?”

Yu Ze lowered his head slightly and said with a smile in his eyes, “No, there are 2 more reports. Let’s leave after I signed them.”

Then, an assistant arrived with the 2 reports and happened to see the pair standing at the door. The assistant’s eyes widened in shock, not knowing whether he should go in or leave.

Yu Ze held Gu Ye’s hand without letting go and glanced at the report in the assistant’s hand, “Come in.”

It was the first time that the assistant was treated so tenderly by the president. The assistant walked in mechanically and looked at Secretary Liu with a confused look on his face. Didn’t people say that the president’s wife is coming over to examine the company, he is actually a male?

Secretary Liu had a profound look on his face because he also hadn’t come back to his senses. He had never seen President Yu so happy.

Yu Ze read the reports and signed them. Then he picked up the coat hanging on the hanger, and turned to look at Gu Ye who was standing by the window looking at the scenery, “Go to my house or find a place to sit for a while?”

Gu Ye turned around and said, “Are you done for today? Then, let’s go buy some ingredients to cook at your house.”

In Yu Ze’s office, Gu Ye didn’t see anything strange, and he expected that the other party wouldn’t place any nonsense stuff in his office. Gu Ye planned to go to his house to search.

Yu Ze answered frankly, “I don’t know how to cook.”

Gu Ye spread his hands and said, “I can.”

Yu Ze looked a little embarrassed and said bravely, “I will try my best to help.”

It was only when Gu Ye arrived at the supermarket that he realized why Yu Ze’s expression was so awkward. It was because this man who was so powerful in the business world had a living ability comparable to that of an idiot!

Gu Ye stood next to the shelf and asked, “Have you seen the star anise (八角*)? Get me a bag.”

*Directly translated as 8 corners a.k.a Octagonal

Yu Ze frowned, “What is octagonal? I’ve seen hexagonal (六角*).”

*Directly translated as 6 corners a.k.a Hexagonal

Hearing that, Gu Ye was stunned. He walked around Yu Ze to get it himself and said, “Dear, the hexagonal you are talking about is a nut (screw).”

Yu Ze looked at the packaging bag with the word ‘Star Anise’ written on it in surprise as if he had never seen it before.

From then, Gu Ye already knew that this business elite had never entered the kitchen.

“How about some ox tail bones for some soup?”

Yu Ze couldn’t understand, “Can oxtail be eaten?”

Gu Ye couldn’t help laughing, “Yes.”

After a while, Gu Ye pointed to the vegetables next to Yu Ze, “This small spinach is quite tender. Let’s boil it to serve as a cold dish. The one next to you, get me two.”

Yu Ze stretched out two slender fingers, avoiding the roots, and pinched 2 stalks.

Gu Ye doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “It’s not enough. Once it’s boiled, there won’t be much left.”

Yu Ze pinched two more stalks and placed them directly in the corner of the shopping cart.

Gu Ye held back his laughter and put it in the bag, “This has to be weighed.”

Yu Ze looked confused, and Gu Ye just wanted to laugh. The other person’s expression now is completely different from when he was in the company. In fact, Gu Ye had been mentally prepared for a long time. Yu Ze might not be very good at cooking, but after all, he had studied abroad, so at least he would not starve to death, right? Unexpectedly, he really didn’t understand anything.

Gu Ye felt that his trip today was not in vain. He really got to know the CEO from many aspects. He is so handsome at work, giving people the feeling that he can support the world by himself, but in life…

Looking at Yu Ze’s expression, Gu Ye couldn’t help laughing and patted Yu Ze on the shoulder, “You are so cute! Hahahaha~~”

When Gu Ye laughed, Yu Ze’s expression became even more embarrassed.

Gu Ye held back a bad smile and picked up a piece of ginger, “Do you know what this is? It’s in all the dishes you eat.”

Yu Ze raised his eyebrows and shook his head seriously, “I have never eaten anything so big and ugly.”

“Pfft!” Gu Ye patted Yu Ze on the shoulder and laughed, “Yes, yes, I have never eaten such a big one too!”

Yu Ze asked helplessly, “Is it fun to tease me?”

“En En,” Gu Ye nodded with a smile, “super cute.”

Yu Ze shook his head helplessly, “You can continue to tease, but just wait, sooner or later…”

“En?”

“It’s nothing,” Yu Ze’s expression returned to normal, and he said seriously, “I didn’t come into contact with these when I was a child. I went abroad in junior high school. This is my first time visiting a supermarket. I can learn from it later.”

Gu Ye stopped laughing and comforted, “No need, your time is money. It’s like tens of billions every minute. Why do you have to go to the supermarket by yourself, right? I can understand.”

Yu Ze earnestly promised, “I can really learn.”

“No need, you’re fine like this. Just make money.” Gu Ye threw a bag of ribs into the cart. In his heart, he added – People with terrible life skills would be easier to trap and keep in captivity. Gu Ye didn’t have the intention to find another person who was so pleasing to the eye anymore. Once he caught someone, he won’t let go. Since Yu Ze dares to flirt with him, he will have to bear the consequences that will last a lifetime and never escape.

“Let’s buy some wonton skin and make some meat stuffing. I’ll make some wontons for you in the afternoon and put them in the refrigerator. If you get off work late one day, just cook them when you’re hungry.”

Yu Ze looked solemn as if facing an impossible challenge.

Gu Ye couldn’t help laughing and said, “I’ll pack up the seasonings for you. You just have to put in a package of seasonings and 10 wontons in a pot, okay?”

Yu Ze’s face became more solemn.

Gu Ye held his forehead and suppressed a smile, “Forget it, don’t waste the ingredients.”

Chapter 56 Internet celebrity “doesn’t want to be a loli” Part 2

Gu Ye deliberately dropped such a shocking topic early in the morning and exploded his circle of fans. Not only did the fans discuss it enthusiastically for a day, but they also became obsessed with it and let Gu Ye gain a wave of followers. It was only in the evening that the topic changed. Because some people who bought good luck charms are really blessed with good luck!

One of the reviews said, “I got interviewed by a good company that I had not successfully gotten the interviewing chance for several times previously!”

Another one said, “I bought a lottery ticket and was lucky enough to win 2,000 yuan!”

The last one said, “Playing my game with overwhelming luck. This ‘African chief (unlucky person)’ finally stood up with her chest up and drew 6 S-cards in a day!”

The young lady was so excited that she knelt down and asked for marriage on Gu Ye Weibo. No one could hold back her excitement.

These 3 people were the first to receive the talisman. After they mentioned the effect, many people were moved. In a short time, countless private messages were asking to buy one. Gu Ye was lying on the sofa at night and scrolling through Weibo. After seeing the message, he replied: [Only 10 talismans a day, no more. I’m in a good mood today, let’s do some fortune telling~]

As soon as the fortune-telling was mentioned, Gu Ye’s private message inbox exploded. There was an ID called [I don’t want to be a loli] that kept flashing. Gu Ye saw that her name was interesting, so he opened it.

Gu Ye: [Hello, what do you want to ask? Future or money?]

I don’t want to be a loli: [Little Gege, I want to ask how long can I remain popular?]

Gu Ye: [Show me your face.]

Soon, the other party sent a photo, a clear and uncensored frontal photo. It looked like it was taken during the live broadcast/stream.

Gu Ye frowned and wrote: [Your makeup is too thick, and you even used a filter. Did you also photoshop it? I can’t read your fortune like this.]

Soon, the other party sent a photo of a fat aunty with big round face and bright red color on her cheeks: [Little Gege, I don’t want the fortune-telling for myself anymore. Calculate for my aunt, can she become famous as an Internet celebrity?]

The corner of Gu Ye’s mouth twitched as he replied: [The brilliance on the outside but like white paper on the inside. It can only last a year.]

I don’t want to be a loli: [Little Gege, what do you mean?]

As soon as Gu Ye saw the words ‘little Gege’, he felt a chill all over his body: [It means that even if she is famous, it will not last more than a year.]

I don’t want to be a loli: [She just wants to make some money and not harm anyone.]

Gu Ye has already understood that this aunty is ‘I don’t want to be a loli’ herself, and he is speechless: [This is already deceiving the fans’ feelings. There will be retribution.]

I don’t want to be a loli disagrees and replies: [Isn’t there a man in the internet celebrity circle who wears women’s clothing? Do you know the one called ‘This Master is so beautiful’? He didn’t suffer any retribution.]

Gu Ye actually did a search on the user before coming back to reply: [He is a good-looking man, with delicate eyebrows. Isn’t it nice for a little handsome boy to cross-dress? He didn’t say that he was a woman either, so he wasn’t lying.]

I don’t want to be a loli probably was hurt by these words, so she replied to Gu Ye: [Your calculation is not accurate!]

Then she went offline and didn’t say to pay the fortune-telling money either. Gu Ye was speechless, this person was so unreasonable.

Ling Ling jumped onto the sofa and sat next to Gu Ye. Holding a small bowl in one hand and a toothpick in the other, he stuffed a mouthful of cantaloupe into Gu Ye’s mouth. Gu Ye taught the child while eating, “Daughter, you have to give money to buy things. This is a matter of course. Also, asking someone to tell fortunes but didn’t pay is a horrible thing to do.”

Ling Ling fed Gu Ye another mouthful, tilted her head, and asked in confusion, “Why?”

Gu Ye smiled and said meaningfully, “Of all things to owe, a fortune-telling fee is something one can never owe. If you learn the secret of Heaven but don’t pay the corresponding reward, how can God let you go? Finished, that person is finished.”

As expected by Gu Ye, on the 3rd day, the aunt came back to Gu Ye crying: [Master Gu, save me!]

Gu Ye: [???]

I don’t want to be a loli: [The beauty camera I bought online suddenly broke during the live broadcast. My aunt was helping me with a live broadcast, so the fans thought it was me, and all my fans left! What should I do? I want to buy 100 lucky charms, can I get the fans all back?]

Gu Ye: [Auntie, there is nothing to do about it anymore. Just wish yourself well.]

At this moment, the news on the Internet had already exploded, and the name ‘I don’t want to be a loli’ was immediately spread out of the circle. Everyone knows that most of the internet celebrities are fake beauties. Beautification, filters, and magical makeup techniques like changing your head can create countless gods and goddesses. But as long as you don’t make a mistake and accidentally reveal yourself, everyone will pretend to be confused. After all, life is so stressful now, and watching the live broadcast is just for fun.

However, the reveal of ‘I don’t want to be a loli’ has completely exceeded everyone’s bottom line. Even if your skin is rough and your face is dark, you have excess flesh, and your face is pockmarked, at the very least, you are still a young lady! Aunty, you are in your forties or fifties already. If someone pretended to be a loli every day and called you Little Gege, who can handle it?

Fans of ‘I don’t want to be a loli’ are dropping like snow. She contacted Gu Ye several times, but Gu Ye didn’t reply. ‘I don’t want to be a loli’ can only withdraw from the industry with a bad reputation. Even the live broadcast platform felt sorry for the fans and ordered her to return the fans’ rewards. Her reputation and money were gone.

There was a lot of commotion online, and even the students in the class were discussing this matter. The students in this class all have rich families, and some of them actually liked ‘I don’t want to be a loli’ and gave her a reward before. After the accident, the student was depressed for a day and a half. Then he stood up bravely, angrily deleted the live broadcast platform app, and started studying to make money.

What this guy wants is to open his own live broadcast platform and let the internet celebrities sign the contract without makeup. At that time, he can flirt with whoever he likes, and never worry about being cheated!

Gu Ye can only say: As expected from someone from a business family!

…

At 10.00 pm

Yu Ze: [Today is the 86th day, a bit late to check in.]

Gu Ye: [Pull the quilt over and cover myself.jpg]

Yu Ze: [I heard there is a rumor that I like you and I want to clarify it.]

Feeling tired at heart, Gu Ye wrapped himself up tightly in the quilt. This man, here he comes again!

Yu Ze: [This is not a rumor, it is true.]

Gu Ye almost wanted to cry and replied in a dumbfounded manner: [Okay, okay! I know, it’s true!]

Yu Ze: [You haven’t accepted the 14 cents in the afternoon.]

Gu Ye palmed his forehead and replied: [Sorry, it’s too little. Clicking on it doesn’t cover the transfer fee.]

Yu Ze: Transfer 1,314 yuan

The corner of Gu Ye’s mouth twitched, and he simply sat up: [I’ll accept it, can you calm down tonight?]

Yu Ze: [En.]

After Gu Ye clicked the Accept button, he pulled out the bell and rang it in a despaired state of mind.

Not long after, a dark ghostly figure stood outside the window. Gu Ye crossed his legs and asked desperately, “Brother Ghost General, can you tell me where he read so many random things?”

The Ghost General sat silently on the windowsill, saying nothing.

“Okay, I can tell from your attitude. It seems that he really did read those from somewhere.” Gu Ye replied tiredly to Yu Ze: [Don’t come to me on Sunday, I will go to you.]

Yu Ze: [?]

Gu Ye: [Check what ‘amazing things’ you have in your home!]

Yu Ze: [Spot check?]

Gu Ye replied angrily: [Whatever you say.]

Yu Ze asked seriously: [If you want to check my company as well, I’ll let the reception know in advance.]

Gu Ye: [No need, don’t say anything! Please shut your mouth, thank you!]

Unsure why Gu Ye was so agitated, Yu Ze was silent for a while and then replied in a good temper: [Okay.]

The next morning, Gu Ye received another money transfer.

Yu Ze: Transfer 520 yuan

Gu Ye held his forehead and couldn’t help but feel angry. For sure, one really can’t afford to provoke rich people like him! 1314 yuan at night, 520 yuan in the morning!*

*In case anyone forgets, 1314 = forever, 520 = I love you~

…

School canteen.

“Have you heard that the aunt who cooks particularly delicious food is leaving? It is said that her daughter-in-law is about to give birth and she will go back to help out with the confinement period and take care of the child. The second canteen will be replaced by another cook.”

“Hope that it must be someone who cooks delicious food! This aunt has a good temper and the meat is super delicious. If she leaves, will we have to eat grass?”

“The school should wait for the new cook to come before letting her go. I hope the new one can cook meat dishes.”

“Let’s cherish the last few days! We’ll eat 2 braised pork ribs for lunch today!”

Zhao Pengyu heard the gossip of the classmates around him, poked Gu Ye on the shoulder, and asked in a low voice, “Can you just do a fortune-telling? What kind of cook will come after this auntie leaves?”

Gu Ye: “… How do I start to read? The other party hasn’t come yet.”

Zhao Pengyu continued to poke with his hands, “Master Gu, use your superpower to do calculations.”

Gu Ye rolled his eyes, “You deserve a beating.”

The aunt the classmates mentioned was a chubby lady who had an energetic look on her face and seemed to have a good temper. When Auntie saw Gu Ye, she was in a great mood and served him several more pieces of ribs. “The little number one scorer is so thin. Eat more. Is this enough?”

Gu Ye smiled and said, “That’s enough. Thank you, Auntie. Congratulations on your baby granddaughter.”

The aunt happily added 2 more pieces to Gu Ye’s plate, “Hahaha, the little number one scorer already said the word so I’m looking forward to a well-behaved little granddaughter.”

Zhao Pengyu who was standing next to Gu Ye said with a smile, “Auntie, his words are very accurate, and he can do fortune-telling. He is also famous on the Internet. One prediction costs at least 1,000 yuan, and celebrities ask him to tell fortunes.”

“Really? Aiya! Then thank you for your kind words!” Auntie happily gave Gu Ye another spoonful of spareribs, which was more than a usual double portion order. Gu Ye said sheepishly, “Auntie, that’s enough, that’s enough for me. I really can’t finish it.”

Zhao Pengyu excitedly chirped in, “I’ll eat, I can eat it!”

The aunt was good-tempered and gave Zhao Pengyu a few extra pieces, “I’ll give you a big spoonful too!”

Zhao Pengyu happily followed Gu Ye, bubbling with happiness.

Gu Ye was speechless, everyone said that a nephew would follow his uncle’s demeanor, but Zhao Pengyu wasn’t like Yu Ze at all. Could it be that another nephew is following his uncle instead? Gu Ye shook his head after thinking about it. Yu Ze had many nephews. If someone really followed his demeanor, then the Yu family’s Chinese New Year celebration (with the entire family) would definitely be a disaster movie!

“We are going to hold a tug-of-war competition on Sunday, you should come too.” Zhao Pengyu started to persuade Gu Ye again during the meal.

Gu Ye asked slowly, “For what?”

“To cheer for us.”

“It doesn’t matter whether I go or not.”

“It matters. As soon as you go there, there will be more girls. The sound of cheering will be loud, and the boys’ hormones will rush up!”

Gu Ye complained, “Did you get on the Shenzhou No. 18? Your thoughts fly so fast.”

Zhao Pengyu disappointedly asked, “You’re not going again? You can’t not participate in any activities.”

Gu Ye smiled and said, “I have something to do.”

“Save the world?”

Gu Ye squinted his eyes with a smile on his face but took a fierce bite of meat. “I want to save a successful person’s moral integrity and bottom line! If I don’t care about him, he will soon rise to heaven!”

While the two were talking, Gu Ye suddenly moved. His expression suddenly became serious, and he turned back to look at the food counter’s window carefully. Standing next to the aunt was a fat middle-aged uncle, who seemed to be her successor.

Zhao Pengyu noticed that Gu Ye’s expression was wrong and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Ye frowned, “I seem to smell blood and… rotten stink.”

…
The author has something to say:

Gu Ye looked serious: I have a very good nose, this smell is ominous.

Yu Ze looked serious: I am your other half, tailor-made for you. I love to be clean and not smelly.

Gu Ye: “…Shut your mouth!”

Chapter 56 Internet celebrity “doesn’t want to be a loli” Part 1

“Sa wa di ka you little tubby!” Gu Ye didn’t know if to laugh or cry as he slapped the talisman with the greeting on the little ghost’s belly. “You can’t write Chinese characters, but you can understand what I’m saying?”

The little fatty nodded, indicating that he understood.

“It makes sense, else it’s impossible to follow Tang Jingyi’s instructions if you don’t understand Chinese.” Gu Ye sat down and looked at the fat baby sitting on the table, “Since you can’t leave, you can only stay in China. Do you want to find a destined person, or do you want to follow me?”

The little fat baby grabbed Gu Ye’s clothes in a second and proved with practical actions that he had made the choice.

Gu Ye smiled, “Okay, that’s it then. But one doesn’t eat and stays here for free. You have to find something to make yourself useful. See for yourself, what can you do?”

The little fatty looked at Hong Dou who was cleaning the house, then at Ling Ling who helps Gu Ye draw spells. After that, he looked at the evil spirit that was in the body of a little lion doll and is currently working hard to wipe the floor clean. After thinking about it, the Kuman Thong picked up a talisman drawn by Ling Ling. He held it up over his head with both hands and chanted, “Balabalabala…”

It was unknown what this ghost kid was muttering about, but the soulless talisman was gradually blessed with good luck. Gu Ye raised his eyebrows in surprise, this little fatty was sure amazing.

Kuman Thong showed the magic talisman to Gu Ye, proving that he could really attract wealth and bless people, and could bring good luck to people. He looked at Gu Ye pitifully, probably wanting to ask, can he stay?

“Very good!” Gu Ye happily absorbed a little bit of ghost energy and put on his finger, so that he could touch the big head of the little fatty. “Little Fatty Jin, from now on, you’ll pray to make 10 lucky charms every day, is that okay?”

Little Fatty Jin nodded obediently and held up another talisman, “Balabalabala…”

Gu Ye poked Ling Ling, “Daughter, Dad give you a task. Teach him how to speak. Dad really can’t understand him.”

Tang Jingyi may not need to listen to what he expresses when raising Little Fatty Jin, as long as he is obedient, but Gu Ye cannot raise him like this. He cannot communicate with him, it is too inhumane.

Ling Ling puffed up her cheeks and reluctantly agreed. Gu Ye touched her head and praised her with a smile. After that, Gu Ye went online and posted a Weibo post after a long time:
[Lucky charms 500 yuan per piece, only selling 10 a day. All the money earned is donated to welfare organizations. Those who want it, please queue up online early every morning before dawn, and only the top ten will be taken. For today, you can leave a message in the comment area if you want it.]

Netizens were speechless: [Master Gu, are you serious?]

[Lucky charm for 500 yuan? What can you do with it?]

[Lucky charm? The one who brings wealth and good fortune?]

[I want! Signing up!]

[Damn it! There are people who actually buy it. Too much money in hand, no place to burn it?]

[Dude, don’t be stupid. Even if Gu Ye is pretty accurate in fortune-telling, I’ve never seen him draw talismans. Everyone has their own specialization. How awesome can he be if he knows everything?]

Gu Ye sent a cross-legged emoticon: [Waiting online.jpg]

Many fans were impressed by the cute attitude: [Forget it, he is good-looking, he is right as he said!]

[I’m about to change jobs. I want to bring this talisman to the interview. What if I get good luck? I want I want!]

[I want one too, it is produced by Master Gu. I believe it when I see his face!]
…

The ten lucky charms were quickly booked. Gu Ye selected the first ten to leave messages and tagged them in a list. He asked them to send a private message to pay money and leave their addresses, and then told Sister Hong Dou, “Pick 10 lucky charms and put them in a bag. I’ll send it out tomorrow.” After that, he went to sleep.

The next morning, a large number of spells were placed on the table in the study room. The little fat baby had returned to his golden body (container). Ling Ling was also lying on the bookshelf, maintaining a still posture and closing her eyes.

Gu Ye was speechless, “They didn’t sleep all night last night?”

Hong Dou couldn’t help laughing, “I don’t know what they were competing against last night. One spent the whole night drawing the talisman and the other spent the whole night praying.”

Gu Ye looked at the workload on this table and laughed out loud, “They probably won’t wake up in 3 days. It’s too energy-consuming, these 2 silly kids.”

When Gu Ye was selling good luck charms online, the news was also spread to the school. As soon as Gu Ye arrived in the class, many classmates gathered around him and said, “Gu Ye, is that charm real? Sell me one!”

Gu Ye smiled slightly, “We don’t sell it in school, our mission is to study hard!”

“What does it matter where you sell it? Sell me one quickly, I am going to turn into the King of Unluckiness in my game’s gacha!”

“Aiya! Mobile games are not important! There is a basketball game after class in the afternoon, Gu Ye, will you go this time?”

Gu Ye refused without hesitation, “I can’t go.”

Zhao Pengyu rushed over and grabbed Gu Ye’s neck, “Let’s go, let’s go!”

Gu Ye rolled his eyes in disgust, “Let go of your paw!”

“Yo? This watch looks like the same model as my uncle’s,” Zhao Pengyu’s attention was drawn away by the thing on Gu Ye’s wrist, “Take it off and let me have a look!”

Gu Ye used his hand and covered the watch, “I won’t show you!”

“Let me take a look!” The two were having a banter when a classmate came over and asked with a wicked smile, “Gu Ye, have you seen this scandal? Is this you?”

The news he was referring to was the same news that Mrs. Gu took a screenshot of and showed to Gu Ye. Although the picture in the news only captured the side view of Gu Ye’s face, it could be seen that it was Gu Ye.

The classmate next to the person slapped the table in amusement and said, “Hahahaha, those who took the secret photos are sick. How could it be possible for two men?”

Gu Ye smiled slightly and was noncommittal.

Another classmate looked at Gu Ye and suddenly said seriously, “Well, even though I am a guy, I also want to marry you!” Before Gu Ye could say anything, the classmates next to him were beating each other, “Get out! Start crawling!”

“Go away! Do you want to get strangled to death by a group of girls?!”

Gu Ye holds his forehead, why is it so noisy?

At the side, Zhao Pengyu also shook his head (regarding the picture), “It’s impossible. With my uncle’s emotional intelligence and expressionless face, he might stay single for the rest of his life. To put it bluntly, even if he left singlehood and got a male partner, it is impossible for him to find someone with a personality like yours.”

Gu Ye raised his eyebrows, “Why?”

Zhao Pengyu looked confident as he said, “When he is unhappy, his words can kill people. When you are unhappy, your mouth can kill people. You two are ‘sharply opposed to each other, with neither prepared to give an inch’ (idiom). So tell me, what were you two doing secretly until you got photographed?”

Gu Ye looked serious, “I want to marry your uncle and bring him back to my home.”

Zhao Pengyu was stunned for a moment, then sneered, “How is that possible? You are dreaming!”

Xia Xiang sighed, alas, silly boy!

After class, Zhao Pengyu realized that something was not right, and he felt a little nervous. He sent a message to Xia Xiang: [Does Gu Ye really like my uncle? You also know that Gu Ye doesn’t care about anything (gender) and is also a face-con. Do you think he was serious or joking just now? Sometimes when he speaks, I can’t tell what he is thinking.]

Xia Xiang: [I don’t know.]

Zhao Pengyu sent a message to Yu Ze: [Today a guy confessed his love to Gu Ye in public and said he wanted to marry Gu Ye.]

Yu Ze: [En.]

Zhao Pengyu felt relieved instantly and showed Xia Xiang: [My uncle is very calm, so I think there’s nothing between them. Scared me to death just now. I thought Gu Ye really fell in love with my uncle! Then he will be heartbroken!]

The corners of Xia Xiang’s mouth twitched and he didn’t know what to say. Didn’t Zhao Pengyu say it himself? Gu Ye is a face-con so who can compare to Yu Ze’s face? President Yu is just being confident, okay? Besides, if Gu Ye has an unrequited love, why are you trying your uncle? Zhao Pengyu’s nerves are as thick as steel bars, which is really terrible.

However, a few simple conversations made the students realize that Zhao Pengyu was actually Yu Ze’s nephew. This kind of news was originally regarded as a joke by the students, but now they all regard Zhao Pengyu as their target, and they all rush to him after class, “Are you really Yu Ze’s nephew? Oh my God, how many years apart are you two?”

“Your uncle is so amazing. We in this profession regard him as an idol and a business genius. Can I ask for an autograph from him?”

“Please get him to sign! Sign on to this book. Are you going home on New Year? Please, please help!”

Zhao Pengyu looked scared and didn’t dare to take anything. He was very sure that if he asked his uncle to sign autographs, he would really be shot to death (by Yu Ze’s disdainful gaze) and would be taken aside to be educated.

Gu Ye and Xia Xiang unkindly abandoned Zhao Pengyu and left the classroom.

…

After school, Gu Ye rode his bicycle home. He dropped by to mail out the talisman first and donated the money to the welfare home. Screenshots of the donation time were also posted online. Gu Ye did not earn a penny from them.

Netizens are all looking forward to the talisman’s effectiveness: [Waiting for the results of use!]

After selling the talisman for 3 days in a row, Gu Ye didn’t want to go to bed so late in the middle of the night and handed the task to Ling Ling, “Daughter, do you still remember how I taught you how to use the computer? Every night at midnight, you send a message on Weibo and then choose someone.”

Ling Ling nodded obediently, “I promise to complete the mission!”

Gu Ye smiled and pinched her little nose. Pulling Little Fatty Jin off his back, Gu Ye turned around and told Sister Hong Dou, “Keep an eye on her. If she doesn’t know how to do it, teach her.”

In the middle of the night, Ling Ling was typing with her little fingers. Although the speed was very slow, she still performed the task perfectly. Hong Dou saw that her movements were interesting, so she recorded them and sent them to Gu Ye.

Gu Ye only saw it when he was eating breakfast in the morning. He smiled while looking at it, “Sister Hong Dou, where did you get a mobile phone?”

Sister Hong Dou smiled gently, “Ling Ling made it for me. I can also use the mobile phone used in the ghost world.”

Gu Ye praised, “This girl is amazing. Let her make a sedan chair for you another day, and then also a few ghost servants. You can go out for a walk when you are bored.”

Hong Dou said gently, “Okay.”

With a mischievous smile, Gu Ye uploaded this video to the Internet: [Congratulations to the winners! I’ll mail it to you in the evening!]

Netizen: [Ah ah ah ah!! This Daddy was scared to death! This doll can move! It can move! It can move!]

[Why is it moving? It’s electric-operated, right? It must be electric, right? Not that kind of thing, right?!]

[This doll must be the one Gu Ye bought for 180,000 yuan! Damn it! Bought in a human skin doll store!]

[I have a terrible thought and I don’t know if I should say it?]

[Please don’t tell me! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I was actually tagged by this doll on Weibo. I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep last night, thinking that my little husband was talking to me!]

[The Sunny Day doll hanging on her waist is so evil, it must be a Cloudy Day doll, right?!]

…

Amid the netizen’s wailing sound, there are also people with different sense of aesthetics:

[Hahahaha, so cute~~What a beautiful doll!]

[So pretty! And it can move, I really want to raise it!]

[I want the same YCloudy Day doll. Where can I buy it? Please help me!]

There are even people who want to do some business with Gu Ye:

[Master Gu, would you like to change your daughter’s clothes? We support customization here~]

Gu Ye: [I want a set of red Hanfu. I want 3 sets of modern ones, she likes cute ones. Also, give me another set of princess dress.]

Person: [Do you need to change her makeup? Just send us her head and we can put on makeup~]

When Gu Ye heard that he needed to take off his daughter’s head and send it to the other party, he felt a chill in his heart: [No, my daughter is naturally beautiful!]

Netizens were confused by the conversation: [What does it mean that she likes it? Did she tell you that?]

[Don’t ask, this is just a ghost doll! It came from a human skin doll shop, and it was raised by Master Gu!]

[Damn it! So scary!]

[The costumes sold in this store are so valuable! Those who can afford it are the rich.]

[Surprisingly, this innocent little cutie is still worrying about money issues at moments like this!]

Chapter 55 The kid who can’t be sent away Part 2

Not long after Gu Ye said these words, the public opinion on the Internet changed. In the past, if something like this happened, the first thing fans and netizens would think about was what Xie Ren had done to force Tang Jingyi away, and they would keep attacking Xie Ren. They would never think that Tang Jingyi had done anything, after all, the goddess was loved by everyone. Not anymore now, without the good luck blessing of Kuman Thong. In the evening, many people raised questions: Xie Ren has been promoting Tang Jingyi for so many years, how can he just terminate the contract now? It can be seen from Tang Jingyi’s resources that Xie Ren has worked hard. Now that Tang Jingyi is popular, no matter how you think about it, it shouldn’t be Xie Ren who wants to terminate the contract.

That’s right, Tang Jingyi should be the one who wanted to leave. If Xie Ren didn’t let her go, she wouldn’t be able to leave. How could it be that Xie Ren forced her to leave now? Let me tell you, Tang Jingyi’s conscience was eaten by a dog. With this, after she left, Xie Ren didn’t have many useful people left in his studio. As the saying goes, her wings have hardened and she could fly whenever she wanted.
…

Those who understood the matter saw this statement and thought about it. It was indeed true. In just 1 night, the reputation changed. The people who criticized Xie Ren and those who criticized Tang Jingyi were equally divided.

Realizing that the momentum of these comments was wrong, Tang Jingyi immediately asked someone to help her control public opinion. However, it’s not the same PR team as before, and it’s not easy to use. Dingnan Entertainment doesn’t pamper her like Xie Ren’s team does. In this circle, even if you offend a small business, you may be ruined. Tang Jingyi’s gentleness was all fake and her assistants were all removed by Xie Ren, the new assistants she had didn’t take good care of her. Already furious in the first place, when Tang Jingyi saw that her new company couldn’t control public opinion online, the actress lost her temper. She can’t hold her temper and her tone of voice is not good, which makes the people at Dingnan Entertainment unhappy and attends to her work even more perfunctory.

Tang Jingyi thinks that it’s not good, she also sensitively feels something is wrong. Even if she didn’t control public opinion in the past, it wouldn’t have developed like this. Everyone liked her and felt that whatever she did was right. How could it become like this now?

Immediately afterwards, the historical drama [The Siege of Haixia] began to be promoted, and Tang Jingyi’s name was also on the list of starring actors. Netizens were a little bit unconvinced: Does the director really not look at a person’s character when selecting actors? Is it really good to use someone like her who can betray her old boss?

There are many people who have this idea. Even reporters asked her what she thought about this statement. After a few perfunctory words, as soon as Tang Jingyi returned to the company, she lost her temper and asked her new agent, ” Why can’t this kind of thing be suppressed?”

Her new agent is an elder sister who is well-connected in the industry and relatively experienced. She is one of the few remaining established agents in Dingnan Entertainment. She said nonchalantly, “This kind of thing doesn’t need to be suppressed. Just treat it as a hype. You can’t prevent others from saying something bad about you.”

“But I used to…”

“That was before. With me here, I had the final say.” The manager also wanted to suppress Tang Jingyi’s momentum, otherwise, it would be difficult to control her in the future so she spoke in a harsh tone.

Ever since Tang Jingyi became famous, she had never experienced such grievances. She slammed the door angrily and left. When she came out, she discovered that her agent had not matched her with a car or a driver. She turned around and wanted to go back angrily to argue.

She turned around and wanted to go back angrily to argue. Unexpectedly, the high heels were not firmly stepped on, and her feet swayed, and her body leaned back uncontrollably. Tang Jingyi exclaimed in surprise. Then she heard the harsh honking of a car behind her, her pupils shrank and her mind went blank. As the car drove past, Tang Jingyi screamed in agony.

Xu Shun, the owner of Dingnan Entertainment, stopped the car and cursed, “Are you blind?! Are you walking without eyes?!” When he came down and took a look, his face turned pale. Both of Tang Jingyi’s calves were twisted and she was unconscious.

Tang Jingyi was sent to the hospital with comminuted fractures of both legs. Even if it is cured in the future, there will still be sequelae, and it is very likely that she will limp.

After the crew of [The Siege of Haixia] heard the news, they had to temporarily change the heroine. At this time, Qiu Junling, the heroine originally scheduled two months ago, recovered from her illness, so the director team replaced her without even thinking.

Immediately afterwards, Tang Jingyi’s spokespersons approached her current agent to terminate their cooperation. For a time, Tang Jingyi fell from the altar to the bottom. Her mental state was also very bad. She was slapping her legs like crazy, crying and fussing. Doctors and nurses had headaches when they saw her. In the past, she prayed to Kuman Thong that she would be possessed by good luck and that good luck would come soon and it would come true soon. Now she can only rely on herself, and Xie Ren will not help her with suggestions. Tang Jingyi was like an abandoned baby. She had no choice but to feel despair.

At this moment, Tang Jingyi thought of Xie Ren again. In the past, when she had trouble, she only needed to make a phone call and Xie Ren as her agent would help smooth the way for her. Tang Jingyi cried and pulled the other party out of the blacklist and asked, “Brother Xie, what should I do? Please help me.”

Xie Ren replied indifferently, “I can’t help you, I am no longer your agent.” After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Tang Jingyi cried in despair, what else could she do? How could she survive in the entertainment industry as a cripple?

After learning all this, Yang Feng called Gu Ye, “Third Young Master, your calculation was so accurate, something happened to her right away!”

Gu Ye said calmly, “This is just the beginning. She hasn’t paid back the money, and she still has a small life that she hasn’t paid back. God’s way is reincarnation, who will God spare?”

Yang Feng flattered Gu Ye seriously, and then asked Gu Ye with a solemn tone, “Third Young Master, I have 10 photos of newbies here. Can you help me see which child is promising in the future?”

Gu Ye laughed and said, “If I calculate now, wouldn’t it mean that no chance is given to people without talent? What if they can become famous through their own efforts? Destiny is not static. Let them work hard for their dreams for a year first.”

“Okay,” Yang Feng said quickly, “it’s up to you.”

Gu Ye shook his head, looked at Yang Feng’s profile picture on WeChat, smiled, and complained, “A slippery person!”

Gu Ye put the phone aside and continued to practice calligraphy. After a while, the phone started to vibrate again. Gu Ye reluctantly picked it up and saw that it belonged to his little mother. When his mother called him, Gu Ye had to stop what he was doing and asked, “Are you not sleeping yet?”

Mom: “Can I sleep at times like this? See for yourself!”

Then Mrs. Gu sent him a screenshot with a large picture on it, showing that he and Yu Ze were secretly photographed in the parking lot.

The news headline is: [Shocking! The president of Yehong Technology Group doesn’t like red beauties (females) but loves blue beauties (males)! The two behaved very intimately and left hand in hand after having lunch together. It looked like they had an extraordinary relationship!]

Gu Ye was amused by the headline. Who could be so idle?

People who don’t care about this news don’t care at all. Those who care would feel like being stabbed in the lungs. Mrs. Gu is the one who felt like she got stabbed in the lungs, and her whole body was about to explode: [Break up with him quickly! Otherwise I really tell your dad!]

In order to protect his ears, Gu Ye uttered pure nonsense with a serious: [We broke up.]

Mrs. Gu was confused: [Why? Who brought it up first? You didn’t suffer a loss, did you?]

Gu Ye suppressed a smile and replied: [I mentioned it. If I really suffered a loss, I’ll beat him up. I have 4 brothers and he only has himself.]

Mom: [Ai, Yu Ze is a good man who is hard to find even when one purposely searches for it. It’s a pity that you are a boy. If you were a girl, I would be happy to go to his house to propose marriage. Son, don’t be sad. Since you already broke up, then let it be. By the way, will you go home on New Year’s Day? Your little brother is also on holiday break. Your eldest and second brothers have promised to come back.]

Gu Ye said guiltily: [I’ll come back too, don’t worry, go to bed early.]

After coaxing his little mother, Gu Ye finished writing the calligraphy words. Seeing that it was almost midnight, he took out the Kuman Thong that had turned from black to gold, touched his little nose, and smiled. He said, “Little guy, you have seen her current situation. Her luck will get worse and worse in the future. Your resentment has also disappeared. It’s time to reincarnate.”

Gu Ye drew the ghost’s soul out of the Kuman Thong, and in the blink of an eye, a chubby little baby sat on the table. His facial features did not look like those of domestic children (Chinese babies) but were more defined and deeper, which was still quite cute. The funniest thing is his little bald head. If he has a real body, it would definitely be slippery to the touch. The little ghost looked at Gu Ye curiously, showing no sign of fear at all. Realizing that Gu Ye meant no harm to him, he happily raised his chubby arms for a hug.

Gu Ye held this weightless kid in his arms. It was his first time to come into contact with a kid like Kuman Thong. Unexpectedly, this little ghost was quite friendly to humans.

Ling Ling stared at Gu Ye resentfully. She stopped writing, puffed her cheeks, and looked jealous.

After Gu Ye found out, he quickly put down the little guy in his arms, picked up his daughter, and comforted her, “He will leave soon, I will hold him for just a while.”

Ling Ling looked at the chubby bald baby squatting on the table with hostility, disgusted no matter how much she looked at him, “He has no hair.”

Gu Ye agreed seriously, “Yes, he is not as good-looking as you.”

Kuman Thong began to look at Ling Ling again. After staring for a while, he came over and raised his hand to tentatively touch Ling Ling’s shoes.

Ling Ling glared at him in disgust.

Gu Ye comforted, “He has no father, and is very pitiful. He is leaving soon. Don’t scare him.”

Ling Ling puffed up her cheeks and looked at Gu Ye. The important point was not the little fat baby, but her father’s attitude!

Gu Ye surrendered, “Dad loves you the most.”

Hearing that, Ling Ling was no longer jealous and snickered happily. Gu Ye put her aside helplessly, and drew a magic circle with a cinnabar pen. Then he carried the Kuman Thong into the magic circle and said, “Little guy, have a good journey.”

A golden light flashed, and the fat bald baby in the formation raised his head and looked at Gu Ye with an innocent face.

Gu Ye blinked his eyes in astonishment. He sent countless little ghosts away but this was the first time he saw such a kid who couldn’t be sent away. Could it be that the magic circle was drawn wrongly?

Taking the kid aside, Gu Ye drew a magic circle again, checked it twice to make sure it was correct this time, and then put the fat baby inside, “Little fat guy, let’s go!”

Feeling the ghostly energy, the magic circle activated itself, and a golden light flashed through. The fat baby still raised his head and looked at Gu Ye with an innocent face, not knowing what happened.

He really can’t send the ghost away! Gu Ye was really dumbfounded this time and hurriedly called Xie Cheng, “I can’t send away a Kuman Thong, what’s going on?”

Xie Cheng laughed and said, “Because his home is too far away and he can’t go back! Isn’t Kuman Thong from Thailand? You are Chinese, why do you care about how a ghost in Thailand reincarnates?”

Gu Ye couldn’t laugh or cry, “What can we do?”

Xie Cheng said with a smile, “You can raise him yourself. He will bring you wealth and good luck.”

Gu Ye looked at the little fat baby again and saw that he had climbed to Ling Ling’s side. Seeing Ling Ling drawing spells, he also took a pen and imitated Ling Ling’s actions. He drew something awkwardly and handed it to Ling Ling in a flattering manner.

“Oh my god, the ghosts in Thailand can actually draw talismans!” Gu Ye picked it up in admiration and looked at it. He couldn’t understand it at all. He took a photo and sent it to Xie Cheng, “This kid is so amazing, he can draw talismans! Do Thai talismans look like this?”

Xie Cheng: “Damn! He’s so awesome! Just wait a moment, I’ll ask my master! This brat is too powerful and must be kept. Don’t give him away!”

Gu Ye thought for a while, and it was not impossible to have one more member like this in the family.

Not long after, Xie Cheng replied to Gu Ye: [Hehe, my master said this is not a spell at all.]

Gu Ye: [???]

Xie Cheng: [He said, sa wa di ka!] (Banana: I kept the spelling from the author’s raw)

Chapter 55 The kid who can’t be sent away Part 1

Standing there, Gu Ye watched coldly as 4 or 5 young men wearing masks gathered around him. It wasn’t until they came nearer and Gu Ye glanced at their foreheads/facial features that he relaxed his vigilance, “Hi brothers, is there something wrong?”

“Hello, hello, I’m a reporter from entertainment news.” The young man took out a press card and asked in a low voice, “I heard that Tang Jingyi got into trouble with supernatural matter. Are you here to save her?”

Hearing the question, Gu Ye was amused, “You are very promising, young man. How can you, a serious entertainment reporter, act like a tabloid paparazzi?”

The man smiled bitterly and said, “Master Gu doesn’t know. This Tang Jingyi is a bit strange and it’s not easy to find ways to interview. Otherwise, something could happen easily to those who tried.”

Gu Ye nodded to express his understanding, “Thank you for your hard work.”

Another person asked for confirmation in a low voice, “So, did she encounter supernatural matter?”

Gu Ye narrowed his eyes, “Guess.”

The reporter was stunned, why did Gu Ye ask them to guess instead?

“Did you go to see Tang Jingyi? Did she really try to bite anyone she saw? I heard she bit off the doctor’s jaw.”

Gu Ye smiled and said, “You guess.”

“So you really did meet Tang Jingyi. How is she feeling now?”

Gu Ye’s lips curved up, “What do you think?”

The reporters looked at each other and wondered in their hearts. They had never had any contact with this young master. What kind of trick was this?

A reporter was smarter and planned to chat a little to get acquainted with Gu Ye to see what his temper was. He smiled and said, “Master Gu, I saw that you didn’t plan to take a taxi after you came out of the hospital. Who are you waiting for?”

Gu Ye continued to smile, “Guess.”

The corner of the reporter’s mouth twitched. Can we have a proper chat for real?

“Will you enter the entertainment industry in the future? You are so popular online now. I can’t guess that. Just tell me.”

Gu Ye nodded and looked at the other reporter, “You guess then.”

The reporter who was named twitched his mouth, “I can’t guess it either!”

Gu Ye spread his hands, “Then let’s guess together~”

The reporters were so angry. How the hell could they guess this? This young master here is more annoying than his father! When his father hears unreliable questions, he will educate you and teach you to be patriotic, dedicated, respect your job, and have professional ethics. This guy simply lets you guess everything.

A reporter took a deep breath and asked calmly, “You previously said Dingnan would go bankrupt within half a year. How much longer will it take from now?”

“Yes, yes, let’s estimate when Dingnan will go bankrupt.”

Gu Ye asked with a smile, “What do you think?”

One reporter was a little annoyed and said, “If I can guess it, why would I still ask you?”

Gu Ye’s gaze is showing disdain, as if to ask why are you so stupid and can’t guess it?

The reporter rubbed his chest with heartache and couldn’t continue on to ask any more questions!

After a while, a reporter asked, “How did you and Du Jianuo meet? He is really popular now, as if his life has been reversed. Have you given any advice?”

Gu Ye’s face suddenly became serious, and several reporters became nervous. They thought that finally someone could answer, but Gu Ye looked at them seriously, “Let’s guess together!”

The reporter’s mentality was about to collapse, “Say something else!”

Gu Ye squatted down and waved to them, “Come on, let’s squat down and chat together. We are sheltered from the wind at this spot.”

Several reporters looked at each other and saw Gu Ye’s smiling face, which was nice and friendly. They lost their temper and followed him to squat down, feeling dumbfounded. Gu Ye asked in a good temper, “When did you guys come here?”

One reporter took off his mask and said with a sly smile, “Guess.”

Gu Ye: “Should be last night. Hearing that something happened to Tang Jingyi in the middle of the night, you guys came here to stay watch.”

There was a slight surprise on the reporter’s face.

Gu Ye asked again, “Have you eaten?”

“You guess.”

“You did. There is a food stall at the entrance. I’m not blind.”

Reporter: “…” Very good, my career has encountered unprecedented difficulties! This man is someone who can drive reporters crazy!

A man with a smaller build hesitated for a moment before asking tentatively, “Can you tell me my fortune this year?”

Gu Ye took out his mobile phone and opened the WeChat QR code, “Transfer 1,000 yuan.”

Hearing that, the smaller man excitedly took out his mobile phone. One has to know, Gu Ye’s fortune-telling is not anyone could ask for. Even celebrities couldn’t get a queue number. Today is a lucky day!

After the reporter transferred the money, Gu Ye looked at his face and said, “You should have a small fortune this year. Don’t go to the beach recently, otherwise you will lose your money.”

The man with a smaller build said in surprise, “I really have a plan to go to the beach!”

Gu Ye smiled and said, “Sometimes it is said that wealth can be found in danger, but if you take too many risks, you will end up getting dragged in. When you are unable to make a decision, choose to go to the right.”

“Go right?” Although he didn’t quite understand, the smaller man still put it in his heart, “Okay!”

Little did the man know that a few years later, Gu Ye’s words would save his life.

“Me, me too. Can you give me a fortune-telling too? I also wanted to ask about my fortune.”

After receiving the transfer, Gu Ye smiled and said, “You don’t have much money luck this year. Do you have a brother who you haven’t contacted for many years?”

The man nodded in surprise, “I have a brother who was a little rebellious. It is said that he is doing business outside (out of state) and only comes back once in several years.”

“Your brother got embroiled in a lawsuit and wants to cheat your family of money. Watch out for your parents and don’t be deceived.”

…

When Yu Ze arrived at the entrance of the hospital, he saw Gu Ye surrounded by several people, all squatting on the ground. It looked like some kind of pyramid scheme scene. Yu Ze lowered the car window and looked at Gu Ye with a smile, but didn’t call out for him. Gu Ye raised his head and took a look in his direction. After waving to him happily, Gu Ye stood up and said, “The person who picked me up is here. You brothers, keep standing guard!”

Several young men followed Gu Ye religiously and watched him walk out for a long distance. Not long after, they posted a message on their Weibo: [I was lucky enough to meet Master Gu Ye and asked for a fortune-telling. He was really accurate in everything. I knelt down to worship.jpg]

The picture shows Gu Ye waving with a smile when leaving, very handsome!

Netizens and starlets who heard the news were all: envious, jealous, and feeling hateful! There were some in the comments asking if Gu Ye left the place already and where he was heading. They wanted to go to the scene to ask for a chance encounter. If they could ask for a fortune-telling, it would be great.

…

After getting in the car, Yu Ze looked at Gu Ye’s smiling face with gentle eyes, “Is it solved?”

Gu Ye shrugged, “I’ve said everything I need to say. If she doesn’t listen, I can’t do anything about it. The cycle of cause and effect, if she doesn’t want to pay it back, God will take it back by force. By then, it won’t be a question of whether she wants to give it or not.”

Gu Ye took out the Kuman Thong that had turned black from his pocket, and the faint evil spirit seeped out through the red line and the talisman paper. It was still daytime right now. If it was night, this little thing would be more violent.

“Kuman Thong, have you heard of it? A ghost young boy who attracts wealth and brings good fortune.”

Yu Ze shook his head, he had never been interested in this kind of thing before.

Gu Ye touched the boy’s bald head and said, “After his evil aura is eliminated, I will free him and send him for reincarnation.”

Looking at Yu Ze’s defenseless face, Gu Ye squinted his eyes and rubbed Kuman Thong’s figure on Yu Ze’s suit pants.

Yu Ze simply glanced at Gu Ye quietly.

“Hehe.” Gu Ye irrepentantly rubbed against the other person’s clothes again, trying to use the purple aura to remove the evil spirit.

Yu Ze shook his head helplessly and didn’t say anything to Gu Ye. His tolerance for Gu Ye was incredible.

The two went to a famous Western restaurant for lunch. After stopping the car, Gu Ye unbuckled his seat belt. Just as he was about to get out of the car, his wrist was grabbed by Yu Ze. Gu Ye raised his eyebrows, “What are you doing? Are you going to rub your purple aura back?”

Yu Ze’s lips curled up, “Why aren’t you wearing the watch I gave you?”

Gu Ye narrowed his eyes, “Because you haven’t successfully courted me yet.”

Yu Ze smiled fondly, “It seems I need to work harder. I will buy a house next to your house and chase after you every day.”

“No, no, no, no,” Gu Ye was afraid that Yu Ze would really dare to do this, so he quickly said, “It’s too hard to go back and forth so far every day. If you want, you can just come over once a week.”

Yu Ze then let go of Gu Ye and said gently, “Okay, I will listen to you and come every week.”

Gu Ye: “…” I feel like I’m being tricked!

The two of them got a private room to eat. When they were almost done eating, Gu Ye handed the Kuman Thong to Yu Ze. “Do you want to play with it for a few days and then send it back to me?”

Yu Ze took it helplessly and said, “Okay.”

Seeing that went smoothly, Gu Ye asked in surprise, “You agreed so readily, aren’t you afraid?”

“Didn’t you say that I’m covered with a royal purple aura that even ghosts and demons would not dare to get close to me?”

“Yes, if you take him with you, the Kuman Thong will be able to exhaust all the evil energy in him in 3 days.”

Yu Ze casually put the Kuman Thong into his suit pocket and said seriously, “Then I can still come over in 3 days. Instead of once a week, I get to come twice a week. That’s good.”

Gu Ye couldn’t laugh or cry, “In terms of schemes, you really won!”

When the two of them were walking in the parking lot, a car happened to come over. Yu Ze naturally grabbed Gu Ye to stand behind and he blocked in front of him. He waited for the car to drive away before continuing to lead Gu Ye to their car. Gu Ye stared blankly at the man’s back in front of him, wanting to laugh, but feeling a little uncomfortable. How many people can he meet in his life who are so protective of him? He was such an abnormal one in the mystical arts circle and so many people wished he would be hit by a car and die.

Before going to school the next day, Gu Ye saw the watch on the desk shelf. After thinking about it, he took it off the shelf and put it on. He doesn’t know when Yu Ze measured his wrist, but the length of the watch chain turned out to be very suitable. The corners of Gu Ye’s mouth curved up. He felt that Yu Ze’s name could be linked to the word Omnipotence, and there was nothing Yu Ze couldn’t do.

…

A few days later, the news that Tang Jingyi had terminated her contract with Xie Ren’s studio and signed a high-priced contract with Dingnan Entertainment was suddenly released online, and the Internet was abuzz.

At the press conference, when reporters asked about the reason for the termination of the contract, Tang Jingyi had a forbearing look. Although she did not say it explicitly, she still implicitly said that Xie Ren had treated her unfairly and that she could no longer cooperate with Xie Ren. Unfortunately, these 5 years of cooperation can only go so far.

This video caused an uproar on the Internet. Braindead fans of hers wanted to set fire to Xie Ren’s studio with a bucket of gasoline. Xie Ren called Tang Jingyi in despair and found that the other party had blocked him. Xie Ren suddenly thought of what Gu Ye said about him not understanding his artist’s real personality. Yes, he really didn’t understand her. How could he raise such a white-eyed wolf?

Gu Lin’s secretary Yang Feng saw his friend’s miserable state, and after a few words of advice, he contacted Gu Ye directly, “Third Young Master, I heard from Xie Ren that Tang Jingyi didn’t do a single thing that you asked her to do. If so, what will be the consequences?”

Gu Ye was teaching Ling Ling how to fold paper puppets. He put the phone on speakerphone and said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. Let her enjoy it for a bit more. Those words of mine weren’t meant to scare her. If she doesn’t listen, the consequences will be worse than what I arranged for her.”

“What does that mean?”

“It means that she no longer has the blessing of good luck. It would be more honorable for her to quit voluntarily. If she continues to work in this industry, God will take back the good luck she used before. She will be possessed by bad luck. I think it would be like the situation where she can’t get whatever she wants, and can’t keep whatever she has.”

After hanging up the phone, Yang Feng patted his friend on the shoulder, “Did you hear that? What the Third Young Master said is absolutely correct. Don’t be angry, come on, have a drink! After you finish drinking, come to my company instead of opening a studio. Our company is big, and we have Third Young Master looking over us, so the company will never fall even in 10,000 years!”

Xie Ren smiled bitterly and drank it in one gulp, and said disheartenedly, “I hope so.”

Chapter 54 Give you a chance to pursue me Part 2

The assistant quickly called the police, and within 5 minutes, the police arrived. The strange thing was that Tang Jingyi originally wanted to bite anyone she saw, but after seeing the police, she suddenly became obedient and squatted in the corner, not daring to move and feeling wronged like a child.

Xie Ren sent Tang Jingyi to the hospital to be bandaged that night. The doctor said with a relieved tone, “Fortunately it is just pieces of glass, so the wound is not deep. Otherwise, bleeding for such a long time, she would have gone into shock.”

After the bandage was finished, Xie Rengang breathed a sigh of relief when Tang Jingyi suddenly jumped up again and rushed to the window. The doctors and nurses were shocked. They looked at her beautiful face, which was twisted and deformed because of the exaggerated expression. She was as crazy as a ghost. Even several medical staff couldn’t hold him down.

“Tranquilizer! Nurse! Go quickly!” The doctor said with a sullen face, “Has she had this type of disease before?”

Xie Ren shook his head with an ugly expression, already understanding in his heart that Kuman Thong’s spiritual power was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that he wanted to kill her tonight.

The doctor injected Tang Jingyi with a sedative with a cold face and watched her slowly calm down, then he breathed a sigh of relief, “Okay, help her to the bed, head nurse, you… AHHH!”

Before the doctor finished speaking, there was a sharp pain in his chin. Tang Jingyi bit his chin with red eyes. There was blood on the corners of her mouth as if she wanted to break the bones in his jaw.

This scene frightened everyone, and after they reacted, they all rushed over to pull him away. The other doctor had no choice but to use a technique to dislocate Tang Jingyi’s jawbone, and then rescue his colleague. With such a commotion, no one dared to approach Tang Jingyi, who was smiling. Tang Jingyi grinned, her mouth full of blood, and she looked like a ghost.

At this moment, the policeman who brought Xie Ren to the hospital returned to the room. He knocked on the ajar door, and kindly reminded, “Someone recognized her just now, and there were reporters at the door. When you are leaving, remember to… What’s wrong?”

The police officer noticed that everyone was looking at him and blinked in confusion. At this time, Xie Ren discovered that Tang Jingyi was huddled in the corner again, not daring to move.

“Mr. Officer, can you help me?” Xie Ren asked for help, “Don’t leave, otherwise I’m worried that she won’t survive tonight.”

Police officer: “…”

After explaining the situation, the policeman left a colleague behind to stay and put the hat with the police badge on the table in the ward. Tang Jingyi was so frightened that she trembled all over.

Xie Ren immediately understood that the little ghost in Tang Jingyi was afraid of the police and the police badge. He has long heard that people like police and soldiers have righteousness in them, and evil spirits dare not approach them.

Fortunately, Tang Jingyi didn’t make any more noise that night and stayed obedient until dawn. When she regained consciousness and saw the doctor whose jaw she had bitten and the injuries all over her body, she broke down and cried, “Brother Xie, I agree to all Gu Ye’s conditions! I can’t stand it anymore!”

Xie Ren sighed and completely gave up on Tang Jingyi’s future acting career, “Okay.”

…

After Gu Ye drove the two away, he took a bath and played with his mobile phone for a while. When he was about to fall asleep, Yu Ze’s profile picture flashed. Gu Ye clicked on it and saw the message.

Yu Ze: [Reporting in at night on the 65th day.]

Gu Ye was so amused by Yu Ze’s action and replied: [It’s enough already. You reported in every morning and evening. I won’t pay you salary!]

Yu Ze: [Lend me 1,500 yuan.]

Gu Ye: Transferred 1,500 yuan. [What’s wrong with you? You went out and forgot to take some money with you?]

After Yu Ze accepted the transfer, he replied: [I will pay you back in 15 years. 100 yuan per year, 83 yuan per month, and 27 yuan per day. So in one day, I’ll pay back 13 yuan in the morning, and 14 yuan in the afternoon, which makes every day is 1314 (the pronunciation means forever in Chinese).]

The corner of Gu Ye’s mouth twitched, he couldn’t stand it anymore!

Gu Ye: [President Yu, please spare me. Can you speak like a normal person? Stop reading those random books!]

Yu Ze: [Are you free tomorrow?]

Gu Ye replied with a cold face: [No!]

Yu Ze sent a request for a video call, and Gu Ye answered helplessly. In the call, he saw Yu Ze wearing a white slim sweater sitting at the bar counter in his home. Behind him was the empty and uninviting white wall of his house, with an air of abstinence all over his body. Gu Ye curled his lips. Yu Ze was so handsome even with the white wall panel behind him. This image dispersed away the goosebumps all over his body from the corny message just now and he was instantly cured.

Yu Ze poured himself a glass of wine and said seriously, “I’m free tomorrow afternoon.”

Gu Ye laughed, “Why are you free every time I don’t have class?”

The corner of Yu Ze’s mouth curled up, “You didn’t let me say it.”

Gu Ye turned over and lay on the bed. He put his phone on the pillow, held his chin, and said helplessly, “What difference does it make if you say it or not? You’ve been clocking in every morning and evening for more than sixty days!”

Yu Ze answered seriously, “If I can live to be more than 80 years old, I can still persist for more than 60 years.”

Gu Ye praised Yu Ze expressionlessly, “Then you are amazing yo.”

Yu Ze got choked by the rebut and said seriously, “You haven’t agreed to my courting yet, so I can only continue to work hard.”

Gu Ye: “…then keep working hard, I’m going to sleep.”

Yu Ze nodded in agreement, “En, I will go find you tomorrow, keep working hard. Good night.”

Gu Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, it seems that he got tricked into this!

The next day, after Gu Ye finished 2 classes, he was invited to the hospital by Xie Ren. Seeing Tang Jingyi’s miserable state, he frowned, “You sure got tortured badly, that ghost child must hated you so much.”

Tang Jingyi pursed her lips with a look of fear.

“Let’s make an agreement first. I will take him away but you must comply with the 3 conditions I mentioned. Otherwise, the consequences will be even worse.”

“Okay!” Tang Jingyi said quickly, “As long as he leaves and I get better, I will do it.”

Gu Ye looked at Tang Jingyi carefully but said nothing. He affixed the talisman paper on Kuman Thong. Then he wrapped him with red thread and put him directly into his pocket.

Tang Jingyi said nervously, “A master took him away like this before but he ran back by himself. He knows where I am, and he can find me wherever I hide.”

Gu Ye answered nonchalantly, “That’s because the person you hired is too useless!”

Xie Ren asked worriedly, “Master Gu, what do you plan to do with him?”

Gu Ye’s face softened, “Take him back and pray for him to pass on. He was a poor child who died young.”

Xie Ren: “Okay, as for the cost…”

Gu Ye became serious, “As I said, donate everything to charity, don’t leave a dime.”

Xie Ren personally sent Gu Ye to the door of the hospital. When he came back, he said to Tang Jingyi, “The rest of the matter will be left to you. I can only help you until here. I will go back and find a lawyer to write the termination contract. Take care of yourself in the future.”

“Brother Xie!” Tang Jingyi looked at Xie Ren in shock, unable to believe that he could say such a thing, “Do you really want to terminate the contract with me?”

Xie Ren frowned, “What do you mean?”

“I don’t want to just give up.” Tang Jingyi grabbed the bed sheet with such strength that her joints turned white. “In 5 years, I climbed step by step to where I am today. Only I know how much hardship I have endured and how many tears I have shed. How could I give up because of a few words from an outsider?”

“Brother Xie, I am the most popular movie queen right now, a position that many people only dream of. Even accepting a role is worth tens of millions of dollars. How can I quit now? Have I gone crazy?”

Xie Ren said solemnly, “But Master Gu said that if you can’t do it, your end will be even worse.”

“The Kuman Thong is gone, what’s there to be afraid of? Just wait a bit more,” Tang Jingyi clenched her fists and put her fingers to her lips. Squinting her eyes, she gritted her teeth and made a mark on her finger. She took a deep breath and said harshly, “That’s right, I won’t quit. If things go smoothly in the future, I will continue to take up roles too.”

Xie Ren also hesitated. It was indeed a pity for him to give up Tang Jingyi, whom he had cultivated for so many years, but when he thought of what his old friend said, he felt frightened. Let’s not mention that Gu Ye is Gu Lin’s younger brother. If this makes Gu Lin unhappy, it will be difficult for anyone in this circle to continue on. Also, Gu Ye is really good at calculating. It can be seen from the two things he raises at home that he is really capable, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to control them. Offending him is not worth the gain.

Xie Ren steeled himself and said in a deep voice, “Take care of yourself. Goodbye.”

“Brother Xie! Brother Xie!” Tang Jingyi watched Xie Ren leave the ward in a daze, knowing that the other party had given up on her. She punched the quilt with hatred, “Xie Ren! You will regret it! You will definitely regret it!”

…

As soon as Gu Ye left the hospital gate, he received a call from Yu Ze, who asked dissatisfiedly, “I heard that you were picked up by a man.”

Gu Ye said calmly, “Yes, I just left the hospital.”

After a few seconds of silence, Yu Ze said, “Which hospital? I’ll pick you up.”

Gu Ye couldn’t help but want to laugh, and deliberately teased Yu Ze, “No, that man can just send me back.”

After saying this, Gu Ye clearly felt that the person on the other end of the phone was angry. Gu Ye felt a tight squeeze in the heart. Just when he was about to say something to coax the man, he heard Yu Ze ask slowly, “You said that on purpose, do you want me to be jealous? In other words, you accepted my pursuit and I am now your boyfriend.”

Gu Ye was stunned for a moment, then laughed out angrily. How did Yu Ze manage to work it out like that? His face gradually became serious as he asked, “Yu Ze, are you sure you like me? Not just casual liking, but want to spend your lifetime with me?”

Yu Ze asked back, “What else?”

This time it was Gu Ye’s turn to be silent. He has no concept of gender regardless men, women, ghosts, and demons. As long as he can carry a conversation with that person, the person is good-looking, treats him well, and can live a down-to-earth life with him, that person can be of any species.

It’s not that he doesn’t have feelings for Yu Ze. After all, such an outstanding handsome man flirting with him every day, checks in every morning and evening, drives 2 hours to see him on Saturdays and Sundays, feeds him snacks from time to time, and also acts as his spiritual mentor. Yu Ze was really reliable in guiding him when he was confused. Even if Gu Ye has a heart of stone, being cared for for such a long time has already warmed him up.

Gu Ye also knows that Yu Ze is not the kind of person who just plays around. The reason why he never wanted the other party to make it clear was actually because he was afraid that he himself would be attracted by the person’s face only and not really like Yu Ze as a person. Or maybe Yu Ze suddenly realizes that they are not suitable for each other one day and wants to break up. Then at that point, they will not even be friends in the future.

Gu Ye looked at his own palm and saw that the line of love relationship was quite smooth and long. One line went straight to the end across the palm, and it was certain that it would last a lifetime. Gu Ye’s lips curved up, wondering if God felt that he had saved too many people in his previous life and had done too much credit that it was not enough to give him a new life, so HE also arranged for his own son (YZ) as his partner.

“Yu Ze, I’m at the east gate of Yunqiao Hospital, come and pick me up.” Gu Ye clenched his fists and smiled with his eyes curved, choosing to bow to fate, “I will give you a chance to pursue me, and I will seriously consider it.”

The person on the other end of the phone suddenly chuckled. His usually cold tone softened at this moment, revealing deep joy, “Okay, wait for me.”

Gu Ye said “En”, and hung up the phone. He tightened the collar of his coat and felt like laughing for no reason. Maybe it wasn’t love yet, but if the other party was Yu Ze, he would quite like to give it a try.

Gu Ye had just waited for a few minutes when he noticed that several people wearing masks were always looking at him secretly. Gu Ye looked at them defensively. Unexpectedly, the person opposite looked straight at him without turning away. After holding the gaze with Gu Ye for a few seconds, 4 or 5 people gathered around Gu Ye!

[Banana: I just got called single in 800 languages T^T
I want a Yu Ze for myself too… orz
He doesn’t have to be a CEO or Son of Heaven. As long as he is not poorer than me, it’s fine XD]

Chapter 54 Give you a chance to pursue me Part 1

When Gu Ye bluntly pointed out that they had done something outrageous, their expressions changed.

“No, I didn’t!” Tang Jingyi blurted out, then put on her sunglasses to cover up the panic in her eyes, and said calmly, “Master Gu, we came to you to solve the problem.”

Gu Ye smiled and said, “Oh, then go away. You don’t even have a word of truth. I don’t want to solve it.”

“No,” Xie Ren quickly stood up to smooth things over, “Master Gu, don’t be angry. There is a reason why she doesn’t want to say it. She had a very difficult time in the entertainment industry in the past few years. In order to seek comfort in heart, she adopted a Kuman Thong.”

Tang Jingyi panicked and wanted to stop the other party from continuing, “Bro, brother Xie!”

“There’s nothing about this that I can’t say honestly,” Xie Ren said nonchalantly, “Kuman Thong is the Golden Boy in Southeast Asia, or the Buddha Boy. He is a kind-hearted little ghost worshiped by Buddhism. He can protect people and is not an evil ghost. He then said to Gu Ye, “The past few years have been fine. However, in the past few days, he suddenly went out of control. Nothing we offer could remedy it.”

Gu Ye raised his eyebrows, held his daughter’s little hand, and said slowly, “I know, Kuman Thong is different from a ghost child. A ghost child is a baby that has died prematurely or a fetus that has formed but has not been born. The witch doctor then smears corpse oil on it and wraps it with flags and sutras. Next, the bundle is stuffed into a jar and brewed using a secret method for 49 days to refine it. These ghost children have strong resentment and follow the instructions of their masters. They are extremely evil and can easily backfire when adopted by others.

But Kuman Thong is different. Kuman Thong is made of children’s ashes mixed with extremely yin material and has been blessed by the eminent monk. If Kuman Thong started to have killing intent, it is definitely because Miss Tang did something to make him angry. Mr. Xie, you don’t really know your artist very well.”

Hearing that, Xie Ren was stunned for a moment and glanced at Tang Jingyi subconsciously. She was sitting there with a dignified expression, looking up at him. She was wearing sunglasses so Xie Ren could not see clearly the thoughts in her eyes.

“I think I understand her quite well,” Xie Ren himself was not very confident after saying this. After Tang Jingyi could stand up for herself, he began to train new people. In the past year or so, he has not paid much attention to her.

Gu Ye shook his head, not knowing what to say about this silly mister. Tang Jingyi’s face is definitely not the gentle one on the surface. She is petty, mean, arrogant, and indifferent, and her meekness is all fake. There are many good people in the entertainment industry. He has seen many who do charity work and lead by example. He has seen many people like Tang Jingyi who are good at pretending as well.

“Ms. Tang, you should have a habit of hitting or scolding your assistant, and the same goes for your Kuman Thong, right? Or were you still treating him like your own son as before? You have been too popular in the past 2 years, the fame has gone to your head.”

“Master Gu, why did you say that? If you don’t want to help me, then I’ll just leave.”

After Gu Ye exposed her deepest secret, Tang Jingyi’s body stiffened. Then she returned to normal and stood up, “Brother Xie, let’s go.”

“Goodbye, I hope you can survive a few more nights.” Gu Ye let Ling Ling stand up in his arms and touched the back of the child’s head, “Okay, Daughter, go play by yourself.”

Hearing Gu Ye’s words, Tang Jingyi stopped subconsciously. Looking back stiffly, she saw the puppet in Gu Ye’s arms jumping out of Gu Ye’s arms and pitter-pattered away in its leather shoes. Tang Jingyi and Xie Ren’s faces turned pale on the spot and were frightened by the scene in front of them.

“This…?” Xie Ren quickly grabbed Tang Jingyi and gave her a stern gaze. “Master Gu is really capable and can definitely save you. Sit down and talk properly!”

After being told by her manager, Tang Jingyi had to sit down. Her voice was dry, “I don’t know where I offended him. Just recently, I thought he wanted to kill me.”

Gu Ye tilted his head and said slowly, “There are requirements for adopting Kuman Thong. You cannot eat wildlife, you must honor your parents, care for your children, and don’t compete for fame and wealth, or participate in scheming. If you do it all, he will bless you. Fail to do even one thing, Kuman Thong will be contaminated by filth and it will definitely come back to bite you. He has already reached the point of wanting to kill you. Shouldn’t you know what have you done? Go back and wait for your death.”

With Gu Ye’s words, Tang Jingyi’s face became paler and paler. When he said the last sentence, Tang Jingyi froze and her fingers trembled slightly. It was obvious that her last psychological defense line had been defeated, “I… I’m sorry for her.”

Xie Ren frowned, “Who are you sorry for? What did you do that you didn’t tell me?”

Tang Jingyi bit her lip and hesitated for half a minute before saying, “I was not originally chosen for the role of Yu Ji.”

“I know, wasn’t it because Qiu Junling had an accident and her calf was fractured that Director Li gave you the role?”

“Yes,” Tang Jingyi gritted her teeth, “She had an accident. It was… I asked the Kuman Thong to push her, and she was hit by a car.”

Xie Ren’s expression changed, and he pointed angrily at Tang Jingyi, so angry that he couldn’t speak. He pointed at her several times before spitting the words, “Are you crazy?! Are you lacking a good script or a good role? Do you need to use this kind of method to fight with Qiu Junling?!”

Tang Jingyi took off her sunglasses, her eye circles were red with tears in her eyes, “I just don’t like her. When I wasn’t famous, she bullied me a lot. I just don’t want to see her famous!”

Such a childish little girl’s statement that Xie Ren didn’t even know what to say about her.

Gu Ye tsk-ed and interrupted them, “This matter is not over yet. How did you get a human life counted on you?”

“Human life?!” Xie Ren was frightened, “Why is human life involved?”

At this point, she couldn’t hide anything anymore. Tang Jingyi looked into Gu Ye’s eyes. Gu Ye raised his eyebrows. Tang Jingyi instantly felt like he had seen through everything. She collapsed and confessed, “Who knew…who knew she was pregnant, and the child died on the spot.”

Tang Jingyi covered her face and cried bitterly, “I really didn’t mean it. If I knew she was pregnant, I wouldn’t let Kuman Thong take action.”

“You… you are sure amazing huh, Tang Jingyi!” Xie Ren was so angry that he didn’t know what to say. Tang Jingyi was made famous by him. He never thought that the gentle and quiet little girl before could do such a thing when she became ruthless.

Gu Ye narrowed his eyes, “Now that you know you were wrong, do you really regret it?”

“Of course, I feel guilty,” Tang Jingyi cried, “I regret it every day.”

Gu Ye rolled his eyes and didn’t like talking to this woman who wore a mask on her face, “Mr. Xie, please take her away.”

“Master Gu, please help me. 8 million yuan, what do you think?” After so many years of raising her to stardom, Xie Ren couldn’t bear to watch Tang Jingyi die.

Gu Ye took the water Ling Ling brought him and said indifferently, “Only she knows whether she is really feeling guilty or not. Also, she hasn’t done just this matter.”

Xie Ren opened his eyes wide and looked at Tang Jingyi in shock, “There’s more?!”

Tang Jingyi turned pale, lowered her head, and whispered, “Just in the past, when I was trying to steal roles and limelight but no one died.”

Xie Ren suppressed his anger and persuaded with good words, “Master Gu, she made a mistake and deserves to be punished. We’ll do whatever you say, I just ask you to save her. She grew up in a single-parent family with only an old mother. If she dies, her mother will be a white-haired person sending away a black-haired person (meaning the elderly proceeding funeral for their young). Think about it, how can the elderly survive the shock?”

Gu Ye frowned and said nothing with a cold face.

Seeing that Gu Ye didn’t refuse, Xie Ren quickly continued to persuade, “We all have parents, and we all know that it is not easy for people to live to old age. For the sake of the elderly, give Tang Jingyi a place to take care of her mother until the end of her life, please save her life. She has also saved some money in the past few years. Do you think it would be okay for her to donate more money to the children in the orphanage to accumulate more virtue?”

Gu Ye was silent for a while and said with disgust, “I can save her but you have to agree to 3 conditions:
First, apologize to all those people she schemed against before, ask for their forgiveness, and relieve the resentment. Then set a tablet and worship the unborn child for the rest of her life.
Second, quit the entertainment industry. She became famous because of Kuman Thong’s blessing. She instigated a kind-hearted ghost child who had protected her for 3 years to do many bad things, which made Kuman Thong slowly become infected with evil spirits. All the things accumulated before must be repaid.
Third, I can ask for no money, but she will have to donate her entire property to welfare institutions, and there will be no cent left.”

“No! It took a lot of effort for me to get to where I am today,” Tang Jingyi begged, “I can give you more money. Master Gu, please save me. I have changed. I have really changed. I will give you all my property, but please take that ghost child away!”

“Do you think I’m short of money?” Gu Ye looked at the other person’s face, “Miss Tang, you have too many desires. To be honest, I don’t actually want to save you. Either live to atone for your sins, or be eaten by ghosts to pay for your life, it’s your choice. “

Tang Jingyi still wanted to beg, so Gu Ye said, “Hong Dou, see the guests off. You two should go back and consider the conditions I mentioned.”

A breeze blew by and the door opened by itself. Then Gu Ye stood up and left for his room.

Tang Jingyi wiped her tears, wrapped herself up again, and was sent out by an invisible person with a pale face.

Ever since she was kicked out by Gu Ye, she didn’t speak a word all the way. She lowered her head and hugged herself tightly, feeling cold all over.

Xie Ren could tell from Gu Ye’s words that Tang Jingyi had no guilt or repentance at all.

“Tang Jingyi, I really want to know, what did you do? As your agent, I don’t know anything.” Xie Ren was extremely angry, “If you want me to save you, at the very least, I need to know the truth!”

“I…” Tang Jingyi took a deep breath and whispered, “I’m sorry.”

“You don’t have to be sorry to me! What you should feel sorry for was the people you had harmed! There’s really no more human life taken in those past things you’ve done?”

“No, I just want them to make a fool of themselves, or have a little accident, and miss the audition time.”

It’s still schemes and unfair competition. After Xie Ren sent Tang Jingyi to the hotel tiredly, he found two female assistants and asked, “How does Tang Jingyi usually treat you?”

As soon as this question was asked, the expressions on the faces of the two assistants became unnatural. One of the younger ones said, “Mr. Xie, my… my contract will expire next month and I want to leave.”

Upon hearing this, Xie Ren understood that Tang Jingyi must have treated them badly. It is not easy for Xie Ren to raise Tang Jingyiup to this level of stardom. After feeling furious for some time, he still didn’t want to watch her withdraw from the circle just like this. In desperation, Xie Ren went to Gu Lin’s secretary Yang Feng. After briefly explaining the matter, he asked, “How do you think we can get Master to take action?”

Yang Feng sighed, “If you could listen to my advice, just give up on Tang Jingyi.”

“I have supported her for 5 years,” Xie Ren said, feeling heartbroken. “I have invested all my resources and connections into her. If I give up, I will have to pay a lot.”

“It’s better to compensate than to get involved yourself,” Yang Feng advised his old friend earnestly, “Third Young Master never makes a mistake with his view on people. Don’t be confused for the sake of immediate interests.”

“Okay, let me think about it again.” Xie Ren hung up the phone and just took a breath when he heard the door being knocked furiously. Xie Ren was startled and ran to open the door. Tang Jingyi’s assistant stood at the door anxiously. She said, “Mr. Xie, Sister Tang is going to commit suicide! Go and have a look, we can’t stop her at all!”

Xie Ren’s expression changed after hearing that. Anxiously, he ran to the next door to see and saw Tang Jingyi holding a piece of glass in her hand, gesticulating with bared teeth and hands. With a fierce look on her face, she shouted, “Don’t come here! Don’t come here! Kill her! Kill her!!”

Tang Jingyi’s face turned blue, which was not a normal person’s face at all. Her wrist was already dripping with blood, and there was blood dripping everywhere on the ground. Apparently, she had cut herself. The other assistant was hiding with fear on her face. When she saw Xie Ren coming, she felt relieved like someone reliable had arrived, and asked with a pale face, “What should I do, Mr. Xie? She was fine just now. After drinking a glass of water, she suddenly went crazy and smashed the glass. Next, she picked up a piece of glass and slit her wrist.”

Xie Ren tried to get closer with a cold face, but Tang Jingyi bared her teeth at him with red eyes. With an evil smile on her face, she pounced towards Xie Ren. Xie Ren was so frightened that he pulled the assistants and ran outside, “What are you waiting for? Call the police!”

The assistant felt troubled, “But…”

Xie Ren asked angrily, “But what? If your life is gone, then there’s no need to be afraid of scandals anymore!”

Chapter 53 Gu Ye: Come on, bully me instead! Part 2

While Hou Shiqi was hesitating, Gu Ye spoke again: [@Hou Shiqi Not only did I snatch Du Jianuo from your company, Zhou Luochun, Jing Xingchun, Fei Zhitong, Shao Mengqin, Mei Mei, and Jian Wenwen too, I asked people to snatch them all from your company. Don’t pick on honest children to bully. Come, bully me instead!]

Hou Shiqi almost passed out from anger and scolded, “How can you bully others like this!?”

Not only Hou Shiqi was angry, but several agents in Dingnan were almost angry to death by these words. Now, all of the artists have become famous quickly after being poached by Yuming Media, and they are all cash cows! How much money would they make if these artists were still in their hands? Turned out that they were all picked out by Gu Ye!

People on the Internet were excited: [Damn it! Gu Ye is such a master! It’s all figured out in advance!]

[These people were inconspicuous when they were at Dingnan Entertainment, and there were no announcements. But when they went to Yuming Media, they became popular after just one drama. They really have acting skills!]

[They have acting skills (yǎnjì/演技), but the top brass of Dingnan Entertainment have eye problems(yǎnjí/眼疾)! Zhou Luochun was suppressed so miserably. When walking on the red carpet, he was forced to wear off-season clothes and not allowed to cut off the trademark, which made him the laughingstock of the audience. Zhou Luochun is such a strong kid. When he broke his leg during filming, he didn’t even make a peep. However, after walking out of the venue, he broke down, put his head against the wall, and cried. The scene was heartbreaking. I am here to kneel down and thank Master Gu Ye on behalf of my Brother Zhou for giving him a chance to be reborn!]

[Thank you Master Gu for choosing my goddess! Back then when the previous stupid dog-blood TV series couldn’t find anyone to act, they forced my Wenwen to go up. Later, the ratings plummeted. I don’t know which retarded person said that the reason why Wenwen was not popular was because there was a small mole on the corner of Wenwen’s mouth, which ruined the good luck of the film. It made the company freeze her for a year! That’s just a freaking beauty mole, okay?!]

[Dingnan Entertainment is really in trouble. There are so many people with acting skills, but their managers don’t support/raise them, but instead raise those flamboyant ‘vases’.]

[So, Du Jianuo was poached by Gu Ye because of his potential?]

[Little Gege has a bright future, waiting for good news!]

[Good luck, Du Jianuo. Master Gu is very optimistic about you, I hope you can be as popular as the ones mentioned above. I believe in Master Gu! You can be popular!]

…

Sitting on a chair in the park and enjoying the cool breeze, Du Jianuo kept reading the comments, looking at other people’s words of encouragement to him one by one, and he couldn’t stop crying. He wanted to call and send messages to Gu Ye several times, but he didn’t know what to say. The kindness was too great, and any words were pale in comparison.

It wasn’t until the middle of the night that Du Jianuo summoned up the courage to send a message to Gu Ye. Just one sentence: [From now on, I have nothing to fear.]

…

As the news became more widespread online, the named artists also heard the news and asked their managers, “Did 3rd Young Master Gu really calculate this for us?”

Several agents didn’t know if to laugh or cry at this and replied, “In the list of artists from Dingnan, he drew a circle on your picture and said to snatch you away. And so, our brother-con boss sent someone to poach you to our company here.”

Although the process sounded like a joke, several artists were still shocked and filled with gratitude to Gu Ye. If they hadn’t been hired by Yuming Media, they might still be passers-by in their old company. It is much better to support them when they are in the most difficult time than to ‘add icing on the cake’ when they are popular.

Several people knew each other, and after discussing together, they all forwarded Gu Ye’s Weibo post with their reply: [Thank you to my little Wangye @Gu Ye for your appreciation. No matter how Yuming Media develops in the future, I will stand with it through thick and thin. As long as Yu Ming doesn’t leave me, I won’t give up on it.]

This is tantamount to a disguised confession to the company that promotes them. Gu Ye didn’t see the company repost it, so he went to bed after finishing his remarks to Hou Shiqi. Early the next morning, he picked up my phone and found countless WeChat messages. Seeing Du Jianuo’s message, Gu Ye replied with a smile: [Good luck! God loves children who work hard.]

Facts have proved that Gu Ye’s vision was right!

Du Jianuo is indeed giving his all and works hard enough. In the first month after signing the contract, he received professional training within the company. In the second month, I got an audition opportunity. Relying on his own strength, he snagged the second male role in a fantasy martial arts masterpiece produced by a big director. This character is a charming character who has confidantes all over the world, but in the end, he sacrifices his life for the sake of the common people in the world. There are many fans of the original work. At that time, many people cried when the novel was finished, and many angry readers threw rotten eggs at the author.

When Du Jianuo’s audition photos were circulated on the Internet, his handsome appearance and romantic eyes made many original fans cry. His Weibo followers increased by hundreds of thousands that day.

At that time, there wasn’t any young star at all who had such magic power to attract fans just by posting a few photos before the filming officially started. Thinking of what Gu Ye said before, many artists became excited and wanted to find Gu Ye to calculate their future.

Suddenly, Gu Ye’s inbox was bursting with private messages again. Due to the attention of several popular idols, his fan following has grown to more than two million.

However, Gu Ye only comes online like every 3 days, and even if someone wanted to ask for a calculation, they can’t even get a place in the queue, and they don’t have any connections to help ask.

It’s getting cold now. Master Gu, who has been missing from the outside world, is at his university, wearing a slim-fitting white sweater, dark blue jeans, and a gray windbreaker. He is sitting elegantly on a stone bench in the bamboo forest at school. There is a stand in front of him, and he is painting a golden bamboo forest at dusk.

Several senior sisters passed by and stopped curiously, looking for angles to take pictures of Gu Ye without hesitation. If to talk about the changes in the young ladies in the past four years of college, it would be like this*:
Freshmen, when faced with pursuits, they would definitely say, “Senior, I’m sorry.”
Sophomore, they’ll say, “Senior, I don’t want to date you.”
Junior year, they said, “Aiyo, this junior brother is so handsome!”
Senior: “Junior brother, don’t run away! Let’s chat together!”

After the senior sisters finished taking the photos, they walked up to Gu Ye and asked bluntly, “Junior brother, can you add me as friend?”

Gu Ye paused his drawing and replied with a smile, “I’m sorry, senior sisters. I didn’t bring my mobile phone.”

The senior sisters were not annoyed by the reply and teased him, “Ei, you’ve been using this excuse for almost half a year, why don’t you change it?”

Gu Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It was really time to change one, no one believed him now.

“Eh? The lady in red you painted is so beautiful! Is there a model? Or is it imaginary?” A senior pointed at the beauty dancing in a red costume in Gu Ye’s painting and was amazed.

Gu Ye looked at the beauty in red dancing gracefully in the shadow of the bamboo forest and replied in a gentle tone, “There is a real person.”

“Wow! So beautiful! Is she your girlfriend?”

Gu Ye smiled and shook his head, “No, she is like my sister.”

“Oh, then I’m relieved, you’re still single.” Several seniors patted Gu Ye on the shoulders, “We’ll leave now. Junior brother, remember to find another reason for refusing to add friends!”

Gu Ye didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and waved goodbye to several senior students. After everyone had disappeared, Gu Ye sent a message to Zhao Pengyu (with his mobile phone).

Not long after, Zhao Pengyu sent a message scolding Gu Ye: [You lazy guy! Wait for a bit! Your Father will buy it for you! Barley tea or black tea?]

When Xia Xiang heard this, he frowned and said, “Pengyu, don’t call yourself Gu Ye’s father.”

Zhao Pengyu said nonchalantly, “He calls himself my Father every day anyway. He was just drawing a picture and even dared to ask his Father to bring him water!”

The corner of Xia Xiang’s mouth twitched, “I’m afraid that you will lose karma points in the future.”

Zhao Pengyu was confused, “What?”

Xia Xiang hesitated for a moment, “Nothing, just saying.”

“Atchoo!” A gust of cool wind blew over and Gu Ye sneezed. Then he picked up the phone and asked in dissatisfaction, “Zhao Pengyu, did you scold me?”

Zhao Pengyu: “Are you still human?”

Gu Ye curled his lips. Hehe, Zhao Pengyu really scolded him, this rascal!

At this time, Gu Lin’s secretary sent a message: [3rd Young Master, a friend of mine is the agent of the actress Tang Jingyi. Something seems to have happened to Tang Jingyi recently. He wants to ask you to take a look. Are you free?]

Gu Ye replied: [I’m free when the money is ready.]

Secretary Yang: [Let’s see if you have time tomorrow night. They come to you.]

Gu Ye: [Sure, there is no self-study on Saturday night.]

…

On Saturday night, Gu Ye waited at home to see Secretary Yang’s friend Xie Ren, and actress Tang Jingyi wrapped like a rice dumpling. Black coat, black mask, and black sunglasses, she wore much thicker clothes than normal people. During the season to wear a coat, she put on even a down jacket. Walking in behind Xie Ren, she took off her mask, revealing half of her thin face, and said feebly, “Hello, 3rd Young Master, I am Tang Jingyi.”

Gu Ye looked at the aura on her body and said blandly, “Call me Master Gu. When I do this kind of thing, I don’t want to have anything to do with my brothers. You don’t seem to be in good spirits.”

“En, I haven’t slept well for several days.”

Compared with the enthusiasm of others when they saw her, the young man opposite was holding an exquisite doll with a lukewarm attitude. Such a contrast made Tang Jingyi couldn’t help but look at Gu Ye. Just like the doll in his arms, he had an unusually delicate face and was also too young, completely different from the masters she had seen before.

Gu Ye closed the door and asked them to sit down in the living room, “Miss Tang, can you take off your sunglasses too?”

Tang Jingyi nodded and took off her glasses, “Sorry, I’m used to it.”

Before coming here, Gu Ye specifically told her to be natural and try not to wear makeup. Even so, Tang Jingyi was still very beautiful. The haggard and pale face could not hide her stunning beauty, but instead gave her a bit of a pitiful look. Most men would feel pity for her when they saw her. Unfortunately, Gu Ye’s face turned cold after seeing it.

Her skin was pale and lifeless, and the sinister aura between her eyebrows was so dark and intense. No wonder she was so afraid of the cold. The other person bit her lip and looked pitiful, but a sharp and mean aura was rumbling towards him.

Agent Xie Ren asked worriedly, “Master Gu, can you see anything?”

Gu Ye smiled lightly and asked directly, “What god-forbidden thing did you do? Tell me.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the two people changed instantly.
