Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 21 Is the Heavenly Eye malfunctioning?

Wang Yong, Sun Yaqing, and Wang He were all furious. How could there be such a vicious person in the world, not only committing marriage fraud but also trying to rob and kill him? Hearing Yang Nianqing say this, Fan Ruichen's face turned ashen, as if he had swallowed a fly. He was certain that the man had been tickling his palm this morning!
Yang Nianqing shook her head and sighed. What Wang Xiaolan had encountered was indeed pitiful. Wang Xiaolan now was like her in her previous life, living in false emotions. However, Wang Xiaolan was luckier than her because she had a family who loved her.

Yang Nianqing lit the purification talisman and burned the scarecrow and the calamity-gathering talisman together. A tiny white firefly-like light flew up and disappeared into her brow. This was the merit of saving someone who shouldn't have died. Yang Nianqing looked at Wang Xiaolan and said, "Whether you believe it or not, this is reality. Wasn't there another man with you yesterday, the one you called Brother Zixin? That man isn't a good person either. He's your fiancé's lover. You can investigate. No matter how well he's covered it up, there will inevitably be traces left behind."

Despite her inner fear, Wang Xiaolan outwardly sneered, "I won't believe it. You don't even know them, so what makes you say that!"

"I could tell from their faces. I'm a fortune teller. I even saw them holding hands yesterday!"

"I won't believe it! I won't believe it!" Wang Xiaolan shouted, sounding somewhat hysterical.

Yang Nianqing shook his head and said, "Whatever you want." He then said to Wang Yong and Sun Yaqing, "Wang He is alright now. We don't know what other tricks the person who harmed him might have up their sleeve. I'll give you each a peace charm; carry them for protection. If anything happens, you can come find me on the East Street of the Antique Street in Fulin District. I usually do fortune telling there." Yang Nianqing gave Sun Yaqing three wooden peace charms. One of them was for Wang Xiaolan.

Sun Yaqing gratefully grasped Yang Nianqing's hand and said, "Nianqing, thank you so much. I heard that fortune tellers charge for helping people to avoid so-called 'five deficiencies and three lacks.' Nianqing, what's your bank account number? I'll transfer the money to you."

Upon hearing "Five Deficiencies and Three Lacks," Fan Ruichen frowned. He didn't know what they were, but they didn't sound like good news. Fan Ruichen decided to look them up online later.

Seeing that Sun Yaqing understood this, Yang Nianqing chuckled. It seemed Sun Yaqing watched quite a few TV dramas. "No need, Auntie. Wang He is Achen's friend. Since he calls me sister-in-law, it's only right that I help him. Wang He's original destiny was to have a peaceful and smooth life. I'm just helping him get back on track. He shouldn't have had this disaster. Helping him avoid it is a good deed. Don't worry, there won't be any of the five deficiencies or three lacks." Yang Nianqing had already received reward 'merit' for helping Wang He avert disaster, so not accepting money wouldn't disrupt the "balance."

"Thank you so much, Nianqing."

Yang Nianqing smiled, glanced at Wang Xiaolan who was still sitting on the sofa muttering to herself, and said, "Auntie, your daughter still doesn't believe what I'm saying. You should talk to her properly. Her fiancé really isn't a good man."

Sun Yaqing nodded. Although her daughter refused to believe it, she couldn't let Zhao Wen ruin her daughter's life. She wouldn't let her daughter be with Zhao Wen, even if her daughter would hate her for the rest of her life. "I will."

"That's good."

Fan Ruichen walked over and asked Yang Nianqing, "Qingqing, is everything done now?"

Yang Nianqing nodded: "Everything is fine. Apart from this teddy bear, there's nothing strange about this place."

“Then we’ll be going now, Auntie, let’s give Wang He some space.” Fan Ruichen said, looking at Wang He.

Wang He was now pale and his eyes were vacant. Today's events had dealt him a heavy blow. He absolutely believed Yang Nianqing's words, so unlike Wang Xiaolan, he didn't deceive himself. Zhao Wen was too cunning; he hadn't made a single mistake and had him completely manipulated. Most importantly, he genuinely considered Zhao Wen his brother-in-law and brother, never expecting him to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. How much pain must his sister be in? The true face of her lover was so despicable. But he had to make Wang Xiaolan believe it was true; a short, sharp pain was better than a long, drawn-out one!

Sun Yaqing and Wang Yong followed Fan Ruichen's gaze and saw Wang He. It was truly too difficult for Wang He, who was only 20 years old, to experience such a heavy thing. If they could, they would also hope that their child could be happy for the rest of his life, but now it was impossible. Their child had to grow up. They were too naive before, thinking that they could protect their child, but many things had to be experienced by themselves. Too many people were eyeing the Wang family's business. After what happened today, they could not guarantee that they would not die silently in the future. Therefore, Wang He had to grow up in order to protect himself and his sister. In this matter, the one who was in the most pain was actually Wang Xiaolan.

Wang Yong and Sun Yaqing exchanged a glance and nodded. Sun Yaqing said to Yang Nianqing, "Nianqing, I'm so sorry. I'll treat you to a better meal next time."

"It's alright, Auntie," Yang Nianqing said, and Fan Ruichen led Yang Nianqing over to say goodbye to Wang He.

Wang He forced a smile and said, "Ah Chen, sister-in-law, I'll treat you to dinner again next time. Thank you so much."

Fan Ruichen punched Wang He on the shoulder and said, "If we're brothers, let's not talk about this. We're leaving now."

Wang He nodded, forcing back tears. He really had to thank Yang Nianqing and Fan Ruichen this time; otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.

Fan Ruichen and Yang Nianqing went out, and Wang Yong and Sun Yaqing saw them off. There was no one else in the living room. Wang He sat down next to Wang Xiaolan and quietly said, "Sister, I am your brother, right?"

Wang Xiaolan paused for a moment before asking, "Yes, what are you trying to say?"

Wang He took a deep breath and said, "I was supposed to die yesterday, but I met my sister-in-law and she saved my life."

Wang Xiaolan interrupted Wang He, saying, "Weren't you uninjured?"

Looking at the amulet in his palm, Wang He continued, "Yesterday, my sister-in-law gave me a amulet. That amulet saved me from that calamity and turned to ashes. The person who harmed me was Zhao Wen. He wanted our Wang family's property."

Wang Xiaolan interrupted Wang He again: "I already said that's feudal superstition. Your car accident was an accident..."

"These are all true! Open your eyes and see clearly, Zhao Wen is not a good person, he will harm you! Do you want Zhao Wen or your brother's life? You have to make a choice! Your sister-in-law said you can investigate!"

Wang Xiaolan cried, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Why are you forcing me? Zhao Wen loves me, he wouldn't hurt you. It's all that woman's nonsense."

Wang He grabbed Wang Xiaolan's shoulders and roared with bloodshot eyes, "He doesn't love you, you have to believe that! Do you still want to acknowledge me as your brother?"

Wang Xiaolan choked back tears. She didn't want to lose Zhao Wen, nor did she want to lose her younger brother, Wang He. "I want to," she sobbed, breaking down in tears. Actually, she vaguely sensed something was off about what Yang Nianqing had said. Sometimes, Wang He and Qin Zixin were so close that Zhao Wen, who was a germaphobe, would even share a bottle of water and use the same chopsticks with Qin Zixin. But she really didn't want to believe it. She could feel Zhao Wen's kindness towards her; it wasn't fake. She truly loved Zhao Wen. Wang He choked back tears, his eyes welling up. He felt sorry for his sister, but a short, sharp pain was better than a long, drawn-out one. This festering wound had to be removed. Wang He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Then investigate. If it's true, sever all ties with him!"

Wang Xiaolan nodded tearfully, choking back tears, and said, "I'll investigate, I'll investigate."

Wang Yong said that when Sun Yaqing returned, she saw the two siblings crying together.

When Wang Xiaolan saw her parents return, she choked up and said to them, "Mom and Dad, I will hire a detective to investigate Zhao Wen. If what Fan Ruichen's girlfriend said is true, I will break off my relationship with Zhao Wen!"

Sun Yaqing sat down, hugged Wang Xiaolan, patted her back gently, and said with a sob, "I'm glad you understand, my poor daughter."

Wang Yong sat silently smoking to the side. It seemed that he had been too lenient in his methods in recent years, so much so that this arrogant young man dared to act wildly in front of him!
Back in the car, Yang Nianqing looked at Fan Ruichen and suddenly had a whim, saying, "Achen, when is your birthday? Let me calculate it for you."

Fan Ruichen smiled with interest and told her his birthday. Yang Nianqing moved aside to make room, put the copper coins into the tortoise shell and cast a divination. The copper coins scattered, and Yang Nianqing frowned as he looked at them.

"What's wrong?" Fan Ruichen asked, noticing Yang Nianqing's furrowed brows.

"It's nothing, I just can't figure it out?" Yes, she couldn't figure it out. The divination gave her no hints; it was completely blank.

"Can't figure it out?"

"Ah."

Yang Nianqing cupped Fan Ruichen's face in her hands and said, "Don't move, let me see you!" She then activated her Heavenly Eye, and golden starlight, invisible to ordinary people, swirled within it. However, what Yang Nianqing should have seen—Fan Ruichen's future—was instead shrouded in white mist. "This shouldn't be happening?" Had her Heavenly Eye malfunctioned? Yang Nianqing turned Fan Ruichen's face, lost in thought.

Fan Ruichen put his arm around Yang Nianqing's waist and grabbed her hand. He liked to play with Yang Nianqing's hand when they were together; it was small, soft, and very cute. "Qingqing, if you can't figure it out, don't bother. It's already three o'clock. Are you going back to your stall?"

Yang Nianqing thought for a moment and realized that he really didn't know why he couldn't figure it out. He would ask the ancestor when he had time. It was already three o'clock, and he wouldn't be able to set up the stall for long even if he went back, and there might not be any customers. "It's okay if I don't go back. Even if I go back, there might not be any customers."

Fan Ruichen's eyes lit up and he said, "Then let's go on a date! We haven't been on a date yet!"

Yang Nianqing nodded, her cheeks flushed.

"Shall we go see a movie?" Fan Ruichen had a friend named Luo Heng who once told him that dates with girlfriends could be taken to places like movie theaters and amusement parks. He also said that he would never experience watching a movie with his girlfriend in his life. Haha, he has a girlfriend now too.

Yang Nianqing nodded and said, "Okay." She had never been to a movie theater before in her entire life.

Zhao Yi drove Fan Ruichen and Yang Nianqing to the nearest movie theater. Fan Ruichen led Yang Nianqing to the counter to choose a movie. "Qingqing, what do you want to see?"

"I don't know, I've never seen a movie." When Yang Qianmei and Yang Shiping were watching TV as children, she could secretly follow behind them to watch. But as she grew up, Cheng Ying forbade her to watch TV, so although she lived for decades in her previous life, she had never actually seen a movie.

Sensing that Yang Nianqing was feeling down, Fan Ruichen put his arm around her and gently stroked her arm. "Let's not think about unhappy things. Today is our first date, let's watch a comedy."

Yang Nianqing smiled at Fan Ruichen, feeling a warmth in her heart, and said, "Okay."

Fan Ruichen looked at it and said, "Then let's choose the prank expert played by Zhou Chi. Zhou Chi's comedies are all very funny."

"Okay."

Fan Ruichen took the tickets and dragged Yang Nianqing to buy cola and popcorn. "Two cups of cola and one serving of popcorn, please."

"Wait, I can't drink cola." She was pregnant around this time in her past life. Yang Nianqing had used her inner eye to examine her body; there was a small cluster of life force in her lower abdomen. The baby was already implanted inside her. She'd heard that cola contained high levels of caffeine, which could easily pass through the placenta into the fetus, endangering the brain, heart, and other organs, and causing birth defects or congenital diseases. Better safe than sorry, so she decided to avoid cola.

Fan Ruichen asked in confusion, "Why?"

"I'm allergic to cola." Yang Nianqing blurted out her cola allergy before she even realized it. It wasn't that she wanted to lie to Fan Ruichen; she just didn't know how to tell him about her pregnancy. After all, it had only been four days.

"What about the popcorn?"

"I don't really like popcorn." Yang Nianqing scratched her face. Pregnant women should also eat less popcorn. Having lost this child once, Yang Nianqing didn't want to be careless in these aspects and hurt her again. This child was her Achilles' heel for life.

"Sir, madam, we also have freshly squeezed orange juice here. Sir, you could buy a glass of orange juice for your mistress; it's good for her health." Wang Hua, aiming to maximize her commission from each additional juice purchase, quickly tried to sell other drinks to the couple who didn't seem interested in cola. Fresh juice was more expensive than cola, resulting in a higher commission for her. "We also have freshly made pancakes here, made with natural cane sugar, completely free of saccharin, and very healthy. Sir, madam, would you like some?"
