Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 18 Investigating Feng Shui

Yang Nianqing examined You Jing's face, then took the thousand-year-old tortoise shell and three copper coins to cast a divination. "I cast a divination for you. The hexagram shows that the Earthly Stem of the Hour is located on the ground, obtaining the Three Wonders and the two auspicious gates of Rest and Life. The Heavenly Stem of Jiazi is also located on the ground, meeting with the Open Gate. This pattern indicates that you will become wealthy very quickly. Moreover, your wealth palace is rosy, indicating a tendency to make a fortune recently. Simply put, your fortune is very good today, and you are about to make a windfall."

Fang Yu scoffed, "What do you mean by 'inside' and 'outside'? If you say that, are you going to take responsibility if Ah Jing doesn't make a fortune today?" They didn't come here to have fun today. They didn't find any antiques in the antique street. Where are they going to make a fortune? It's obviously a scam. They came here to have their fortunes told just to find a rich man to hook up with. She's seen too many people like that. They're all smooth talkers and know how to say nice things, just like her father's mistresses.

You Jing wanted to stop Fang Yu, but Fang Yu's repeated attacks on a strange girl today were really going too far. She's not usually like this, and he didn't know what was wrong with her today. Before he could speak, his phone rang. You Jing gave Ren Huaiyi a look, signaling him to control his cousin.

Ren Huaiyi tugged at Fang Yu and said, "Xiao Yu! That's enough!"

Yang Nianqing rolled her eyes. She didn't like any of these people. She sneered and said, "Believe it or not, please pay the five thousand for the fortune telling."

"Five thousand! Are you robbing me?" Fang Yu exclaimed.

Zheng Aoran frowned: "Your price is too expensive. Other fortune tellers don't charge like this." Although they weren't short of money, other fortune tellers charging eighty or one hundred yuan for a reading was still considered expensive. In 16, asking for five thousand yuan was too outrageous.

Eugene, who was on the phone next to him, raised an eyebrow when he heard this. Zheng Aoran was his classmate. They often hung out together because of his outstanding abilities. However, Zheng Aoran was a bit greedy and had a narrow mind. Compared to the millions or tens of millions of appearance fees charged by the masters in Beijing, Yang Nianqing's fees were already very low.

Yang Nianqing retorted, "That's someone else's house. You were told to go to another house for your fortune telling. You're the ones who wanted to have your fortune told here!"

Hearing what the person on the other end of the phone said, You Jing smiled knowingly. He hung up, counted out five thousand, and handed it to Yang Nianqing. Luckily, he had withdrawn cash beforehand, thinking he wouldn't be able to pay by card in many places, otherwise he wouldn't have had any cash. "Miss, you're so accurate! This morning I bought a porcelain bowl for a hundred yuan, and it's been authenticated as genuine, worth thirty million. Haven't I struck it rich?" You Jing's eyes burned with excitement. This morning, while browsing the antique market, he saw a porcelain bowl that looked like a fake and liked it so much that he bought it for a hundred yuan. He thought it looked like a fake because it was so well-preserved that it didn't seem like a real antique. He had his bodyguard take it back to his aunt's house, but unexpectedly, a master appraiser was visiting and examined the bowl, confirming it was a genuine antique. Wasn't this a lucky find? He never expected to discover such a divine prediction on a whim, though he didn't know if it was just a coincidence.

Fang Yu's face turned grim as she said, "This must be a coincidence!"

Yang Nianqing rolled her eyes again, took the money and said, "You can leave now!" She really hated the look in this person's eyes.

"Hey, wait a minute, miss, I haven't finished calculating yet."

"What else do you want to calculate?"

"I'd like to know if you have a boyfriend, Miss." You Jing smiled, his peach blossom eyes slightly narrowed, exuding a captivating and wicked charm that was irresistibly alluring. Someone once said that his smile was the most captivating.

Yang Nianqing frowned. This person's smile was disgusting and sinister. Just as Yang Nianqing was about to speak, she was interrupted by a clear male voice.

"Of course she has a boyfriend!"

A tall, handsome man walked over. His face was calm and his eyes were cold. He glanced coldly at You Jing as he walked to Yang Nianqing's side.

You Jing narrowed her eyes, her gaze darkening, and said, "Fan Ruichen, don't tell me you're his boyfriend." Fan Ruichen and You Jing were classmates and both prominent figures in the school. However, no matter what aspect, Fan Ruichen was always number one, while You Jing was always second to Fan Ruichen. Therefore, You Jing disliked Fan Ruichen the most, just like the saying, "Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?"

Yang Nianqing exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?"

Fan Ruichen touched Yang Nianqing's face and said, "I'll tell you later." Then he looked at You Jing and sneered, "If I'm not her boyfriend, who is? What right do you have to ask my girlfriend if she has a boyfriend!"

Wang He, who had come with Fan Ruichen, seconded, "Yeah, You Jing, what right do you have to ask this question? You're always flirting with young girls, and this is my sister-in-law. Be careful, or Achen will beat you up!"

Seeing Fan Ruichen and Yang Nianqing behaving intimately, You Jing and Zheng Aoran were somewhat surprised. They were classmates and knew that Fan Ruichen disliked women, so they never expected that Fan Ruichen was Yang Nianqing's boyfriend. Hearing Fan Ruichen and Wang He's words, You Jing felt a little embarrassed. He did have feelings for Yang Nianqing, but he didn't expect that Yang Nianqing was Fan Ruichen's girlfriend, and even his nemesis's girlfriend. He couldn't humiliate himself here. "Since that's the case, then congratulations on finding a girlfriend."

Fan Ruichen chuckled, "Thank you, take care, don't bother seeing me out." You Jing nodded, turned and left. Fang Yu called out, "A-Jing, wait for me." Ren Huaiyi and Zheng Aoran greeted Fan Ruichen and then followed You Jing.

Yang Nianqing asked again why they were here today. Before Fan Ruichen could speak, Wang He excitedly explained the whole story. It turned out that after returning home, Wang He became increasingly uneasy. Thinking that there were many fortune tellers and feng shui masters on the East Street of the Antique Street in Fulin District of Jiangcheng, he wanted to have his fortune told. Although he had never believed in these things before, what happened yesterday left him no choice but to believe. What happened yesterday completely shattered his worldview. So he went to the hotel and dragged Fan Ruichen to accompany him. Unexpectedly, when they arrived, they saw Yang Nianqing having her fortune told and being hit on. Wang He was overjoyed. He was right. Yang Nianqing did indeed have extraordinary abilities!
Hearing Wang He say that the talisman had turned to ashes, Yang Nianqing frowned. She thought the talisman would be enough to protect Wang He, but she didn't expect it to turn to ashes after only warding off one calamity. It seems she was too careless. Although Wang He escaped a calamity, there was still a trace of black aura between his brows. This was evil energy that would bring disaster to Wang He. It was possible that there was something wrong with the feng shui of Wang He's house. If this continued, something bad would still happen to Wang He.

Seeing that Yang Nianqing's expression was a little off, Wang He was somewhat alarmed, "Sister-in-law, am I not yet spared from this calamity?"

Yang Nianqing nodded and then shook his head, saying, "You're fine for now, but I need to check if there's a problem with the feng shui of your house, otherwise you might get into trouble again."

Wang He nodded quickly; he couldn't have been happier. He had been truly uneasy until Yang Nianqing told him that he was alright.

Yang Nianqing packed up her stall and placed it at Boss Wu's paper offering shop. Since Luo Dashu had gone to the toilet and hadn't returned yet, Yang Nianqing asked the uncle who had a stall next to her to tell Luo Dashu that she was leaving first. In the past two days, she had become more familiar with Luo Dashu and Boss Wu.

Zhao Yi drove over, and Wang He tactfully sat in the passenger seat. Fan Ruichen nodded slightly in satisfaction, thinking that this third wheel was at least somewhat self-aware. Fan Ruichen and Yang Nianqing sat in the back seat, and Fan Ruichen, playing with Yang Nianqing's hand, asked somewhat irritably, "Why didn't you tell me you set up a stall here during the day?"

Yang Nianqing felt somewhat lost. She hadn't told Fan Ruichen firstly because they hadn't known each other long enough to know how to broach the subject. Was she supposed to just run up to him and say she could tell fortunes, exorcise ghosts, and ward off evil spirits? That seemed too absurd. Secondly, she was afraid Fan Ruichen wouldn't accept her. After all, in modern times, this was considered feudal superstition, and girls who knew these things were called fortune tellers. Not everyone could accept a fortune teller as their girlfriend. "I'm afraid you won't like it." Although their relationship was short, Fan Ruichen's feelings for her were genuine. While it wasn't a deep, unforgettable love, it was real. Yang Nianqing didn't want to lose him. In her previous life, she had lived in a false world; now, reborn and able to live a real life, Yang Nianqing wanted to be with Fan Ruichen.

Seeing Yang Nianqing's anxious state, Fan Ruichen chuckled, but also felt a pang of heartache. It seemed that Yang Nianqing really liked him, which was why she was so afraid of losing him. "How could I not like her? My girlfriend is so capable, I'm more than happy to like her. Besides, if it weren't for you, Wang He would have been dead yesterday."

A warm smile bloomed on Yang Nianqing's face. She liked these strange and magical arts, and Fan Ruichen didn't dislike what she liked, which made her very happy.

Wang He, sitting in the passenger seat, seconded, "Yes, sister-in-law, I escaped a disaster thanks to you. Hey, sister-in-law, you can tell fortunes, so did you draw that amulet?"

Yang Nianqing nodded: "Yes."

"You're amazing, sister-in-law! Who taught you all this? I never imagined there were such mysterious things in real life!" Wang He asked curiously and gossipingly.

Zhao Yi, who was driving, was speechless. What was she talking about? So Miss Yang was a charlatan?
Fan Ruichen looked at Yang Nianqing curiously, and Yang Nianqing said with some helplessness, "It can be considered a family tradition."

Fan Ruichen was puzzled: "How come the Yang family has this kind of inheritance?" Fan Ruichen was confused. If the Yang family had this kind of inheritance, given Yang Nianqing's status in the Yang family, the Yang couple would not let Yang Nianqing learn this skill. They would definitely let Yang Qianmei and Yang Shiping learn it.

Yang Nianqing shook her head and said, "It's not the Yang family. I'll tell you later."

Fan Ruichen nodded. Seeing that Yang Nianqing didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask any further. Yang Nianqing said he would tell him later, so he would wait.

Wang He shamelessly asked, "Sister-in-law, do you still have any of those amulets? Could you give me another one? I can buy more."

Yang Nianqing chuckled and took out two wooden plaques, each about the size of a fingertip, from her bag—actually, from her spatial bracelet. Gu Lang had made her practice many times when she was learning to make talismans, so she had accumulated a lot of talismans. These were made from century-old peach wood. She picked out the two most effective ones and handed one to Wang He, saying, "I won't charge you. These are my old practice talismans. This one is more effective than the yellow talisman. I'm giving it to you. Everyone who sees it gets one, so Zhao Yi will also give you one."

Wang He quickly took one and gave it to Zhao Yi, saying, "Thank you, sister-in-law. Please accept this, Zhao Yi. It can save your life!"

Although Zhao Yi felt it was useless, he still took it and thanked Yang Nianqing, "Thank you, Miss Yang."

"You are welcome."
