Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 17 Infant Spirits
Growing up in high society, Wang He understands that sometimes some people's desires are terrifying; they will do anything for their desires. "I understand, don't worry."

The trajectory of the world is different from that of the previous life. In fact, Fan Ruichen did not go to find Yang Nianqing in the previous life because Fan Ruichen and Wang He died tonight. In the previous life, the two went to pick up Wang Xiaolan and were involved in a car accident on the way. At that time, they did not have Yang Nianqing's talisman to save their lives. The two young people's time was forever frozen at the age of 21. In this life, at the moment Yang Nianqing was reborn, Fan Ruichen's fate also changed, and Wang He also escaped a disaster because of Yang Nianqing.

"Didn't you go home a long time ago? Why are you taking a taxi out so late at night?"

“I went to my brother-in-law’s to pick up my sister, but my mom said they can’t live together since they’re not married yet.” Wang’s mother is a rather traditional woman and absolutely forbids her daughter from living together before marriage.

Fan Ruichen: "..." Fan Ruichen thought to himself that every man probably hates a mother-in-law like this. For example, him. Fortunately, Yang Nianqing had already given up on her mother, so he shouldn't encounter such a situation. It was truly a cause for celebration. At this moment, Fan Ruichen certainly didn't know that a traditional mother-in-law would suddenly appear and try to steal his wife. Of course, that's a story for later.

Meanwhile, after seeing Fan Ruichen leave, Yang Nianqing went to the kitchen to pour a glass of warm water. Yang Qianmei, hearing a noise in the living room, hurriedly got up and said to Yang Nianqing very rudely, "You're back. Give me the money quickly. Why are you back so late? I've been waiting for you all night."

Yang Nianqing smiled mockingly, her lips curling into a sneer. Before she could act, Yang Qianmei grabbed Yang Nianqing's bag and rummaged through it. Finding the three thousand yuan, she stuffed it into her pocket and tossed the rummaged bag back to Yang Nianqing. "Here, take the bag back." Yang Qianmei had argued with her online "husband" today and was in a bad mood. She didn't want to see Yang Nianqing's face; he was starting to look more and more like her idol, which displeased her. How could someone who looked like her slave be worthy of her idol's face? The more Yang Qianmei looked at Yang Nianqing, the more she felt she was ruining his face. Finally, Yang Qianmei slammed the door shut.

The loud noise woke Cheng Ying and Yang Song. Without thinking, Cheng Ying yelled, "Yang Nianqing, do you want to die? Did you make Qianmei angry?!" Yang Qianmei usually only banged on the door when she was angry or unhappy. Yang Song also roared, "You brat, believe me or not, I'll beat you to death tomorrow!"

Yang Nianqing didn't say anything, just gave a cold laugh, made her bed, and went to sleep. Hearing no sound from the living room, Yang Song and his wife didn't pay any more attention, assuming their daughter, Qianmei, was just having a tiff with her brother. Reassured, they went to sleep. They figured Qianmei wouldn't dare bully Yang Shiping; if Yang Shiping had done anything wrong, he would have already made a scene.

When Fan Ruichen woke up, it was already broad daylight. It had been too late the night before, and Wang He also needed to stay in the hospital for observation, so he had spent the night there. Just as Fan Ruichen was about to get up, he turned his head and saw Wang He squatting by his bedside, holding his face in his hands and looking at him.

Fan Ruichen: "..."

"What do you want to do!"

"Ah Chen, let's go find your sister-in-law and ask her what happened. And while we're at it, let's ask her to give me another protective talisman." What happened yesterday really terrified Wang He. If it weren't for the talisman Yang Nianqing gave him, he'd be dead by now. So he wanted to ask Yang Nianqing for another talisman for peace of mind.

"I can't promise you that. Go ask Qingqing tonight. You can't make things difficult for her." Fan Ruichen had heard of some extraordinary people in the world. There was a Master Qi in the capital who was very good at fortune telling and feng shui. Fan Ruichen didn't know where Yang Nianqing got such magical things, or whether Yang Nianqing still had any talismans. Asking her for talismans would be putting her in a difficult position, so Fan Ruichen wouldn't allow anyone to hurt her, not even his good brother! His gaze turned to the red string on his left wrist, and a warm smile appeared in his eyes.

“Okay, I know, that’s your treasure.” Wang He said sarcastically.

Fan Ruichen hummed twice without denying it.

Around nine o'clock, after Fan Ruichen and Wang He finished breakfast, Wang He's parents and Wang Xiaolan arrived at the hospital. Wang Xiaolan sat next to Wang He, looked him up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank goodness you're alright. You're lucky, little brother."

"Xiao Chen, thank you for taking care of Xiao He." Wang's mother, Sun Yaqing, smiled and thanked Fan Ruichen.

"You're welcome, Auntie. I didn't do anything."

Sun Yaqing and Wang's father, Wang Yong, smiled at each other. They were terrified yesterday, but were relieved to see that Wang He was unharmed when they arrived at the hospital. Seeing Fan Ruichen taking care of Wang He, they felt at ease and went home to investigate the car accident.

“I checked the car accident, and there’s nothing wrong with it. It wasn’t an enemy of the Wang family. The truck driver was drunk. It was a complete accident,” Wang Yong said, explaining the results of his investigation. He had initially thought it was a scheme by the Wang family’s business rivals against his son, but it seemed to be just an accident.

"It's good that there was no human intervention. Luckily, my son is very fortunate," Sun Yaqing said with a smile.

Wang He chuckled. Wasn't he just incredibly lucky? Luckily, he had followed Fan Ruichen to see his girlfriend, otherwise he would have been doomed.

Zhao Wen walked into the ward and sat down next to Wang Xiaolan, asking Wang He with concern, "Xiao He, are you alright?"

Wang He smiled and said, "It's alright, brother-in-law, I'm not hurt at all." Zhao Wen saw Fan Ruichen standing by the window. The young man was tall and handsome, with a cool and aloof demeanor. His eyes were large and long, with clear black and white, and a long, bright light. He looked incredibly noble. Zhao Wen glanced at him unintentionally, and his heart fluttered. This man was really good-looking. "Xiao He, who is this?"

Wang He tilted his head and looked at him, saying, "This is my good friend and brother, Fan Ruichen."

"So you're Xiao He's friend. I'm Xiao He's brother-in-law, Zhao Wen. Hello." Zhao Wen extended his hand to shake hands with Fan Ruichen.

"Hello." Fan Ruichen shook hands with Zhao Wen briefly and then let go. Suddenly, Fan Ruichen frowned, while Zhao Wen smiled at him. Fan Ruichen observed Zhao Wen discreetly. He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he felt as if Zhao Wen had just scratched his palm. It might have been an accidental touch, but the way Zhao Wen looked at him displeased him. It seemed quite aggressive. Was this man trying to get something from him?

Fan Ruichen had work to do today, so he said goodbye to the Wang family and returned to his hotel.

Yang Nianqing had been waiting all morning without any customers. She was watching other fortune tellers give readings, finding it quite interesting. Today, Yang Nianqing was more experienced; true gentlemen observe without speaking, and she wouldn't loudly discuss people's appearances behind their backs. Even when she did speak, she would only do so in hushed tones with Luo Dashu. A beautiful woman in a red dress, with a great figure and a mole on her nose, brushed past Yang Nianqing. Yang Nianqing frowned, staring at the woman's back. Luo Dashu asked curiously, "Nianqing, did you see something interesting?"

Yang Nianqing shook his head: "It's not very interesting. I just saw a few evil spirits on a woman."

Luo Dashu exclaimed in surprise, "You can still see this?"

"Yes, my master knows more."

Why do you seem unhappy?

"Because the spirit on that person is an infant, her own child. How could a mother bear to abort her own child?" Yang Nianqing saw three newly formed infants clinging to the woman's shoulders and back. The infants were consuming the woman's life force, exuding extreme malevolence. If an infant dies before birth while still in its mother's womb, it becomes an infant spirit. Infant spirits can be good or bad. Good infant spirits have no malevolence or resentment and can be reincarnated, while bad infant spirits are extremely malevolent and resentful, and will haunt their birth mother, preventing her from being reincarnated.

Whether an infant spirit is good or bad depends entirely on the mother's intentions. Generally, if a child who didn't survive due to an accident or other reasons is not abandoned by their mother, and if the mother is reluctant to part with the child or loves the child deeply and harbors no ill will towards them, then the mother's love will guide the child so that they won't become an evil spirit and can be reincarnated. However, if the mother doesn't want the child or even harbors malice and hatred towards them, then this indifference and malice will cause the infant spirit to become an evil spirit. This evil spirit will drain the mother's vitality, causing her to experience misfortune in everything, and in severe cases, even leading to a tragic end for the birth mother. The infant spirit on that woman is clearly an evil spirit. She deeply regretted losing her child in her previous life, so she doesn't understand why anyone would be willing to abandon their own child.

Luo Dashu sighed, "There are all kinds of people in this world. People often say that even tigers don't eat their cubs, but since ancient times, how many people have eaten their own cubs and abandoned their own children? So there's no need to worry about such people. Anyway, heaven is watching what people do, and what you owe will eventually have to be repaid."

Yang Nianqing nodded. That's true. Cause and effect are cyclical. What is owed must be repaid eventually. There's no escaping it.

A group of young men and women strolled along East Street, chatting and laughing. They had just finished browsing the antique street and arrived at East Street, which was a beautiful sight as a feng shui street. They found it quite interesting to watch the fortune tellers spouting mysterious and cryptic words. The leader was a handsome young man with almond-shaped eyes, about twenty-one or twenty-two years old. He was accompanied by two men and a woman. When the young man saw Yang Nianqing, he smiled knowingly, his face showing a hint of wickedness. He then walked over to Yang Nianqing's stall and sat down.

Yang Nianqing looked up at him and disliked him at first sight. He had a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to smile at people, and his gaze was watery and bewitching. He often looked sideways and his eyes often carried a wicked air. People with such eyes enjoy sexual pleasure and have a weak concept of chastity. Moreover, the look in his eyes was playful and obviously not serious. He was exactly the kind of person she hated. This person was definitely not here to tell fortunes.

You Jing smiled and said, "Miss, you can tell fortunes?"

"What do you want to count?"

Just as You Jing was about to speak, the girl beside him interrupted, "Ah Jing, why are you asking her for advice? She's obviously a fraud. If you want to play around, we can find someone else." Seeing You Jing flirting with another woman, Fang Yu felt displeased with this woman, especially since she was very beautiful, like a celebrity. She forgot which celebrity she resembled, but she felt very familiar with her. She had liked You Jing for a long time, and this time her cousin had taken You Jing to Jiangcheng, and she had finally begged her cousin to bring her along. Just now, You Jing and she had been chatting happily, but now this woman had ruined it.

"You can find someone else. Goodbye and don't bother coming back," Yang Nianqing said expressionlessly.

You Jing glanced at Fang Yu and smiled at Yang Nianqing, saying, "Don't be angry, Miss. She's still young and doesn't know any better." Fang Yu's cousin, Ren Huaiyi, tugged at Fang Yu's sleeve. She had indeed been impolite just now. Fang Yu pouted unconvinced and remained silent. Another man, Zheng Aoran, glanced at Fang Yu and frowned in displeasure. You Jin raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Miss, can you tell me if my luck is good or bad today?"
