CH 31

Li Xiaoqing’s agent immediately stopped Shen Ye: “Master Shen, please don’t be angry. It’s my fault. I let Xiaoqing hide it from you…”

Shen Ye looked at her coldly.

“I’m sorry, it’s not my agent’s fault.” Li Xiaoqing also stood up, bowing slightly to Shen Ye, “I… I was just afraid that you would hate me after hearing that I was kept by someone. I was afraid that you wouldn’t want to help me…”

Shen Ye scrutinized her.

Li Xiaoqing’s eyes were red: “I really didn’t lie this time. I just didn’t want you to mind.”

“Before, when Xiao Yiyi found a sugar daddy, you calculated that she would end up in prison. Xiaoqing is just afraid… she’s afraid of ending up like Xiao Yiyi.” The agent explained, “We came to you because Xiaoqing doesn’t want to end up like Xiao Yiyi.”

Xiao Yiyi was completely finished this time. She could never return to the entertainment industry in her lifetime and had been sentenced to a long prison term. What’s more terrifying was that because she was a celebrity, the incident had become widespread, and almost everyone knew she had been kept and that she was a murderer. Even if she was released from prison and changed her name and identity, she would probably be remembered by countless people. Xiao Yiyi’s sugar daddy also had a miserable fate. It was said that his wife’s family had locked him up and it was unknown whether he was alive or dead. As for the sugar daddy’s wife who had been pushed down the stairs by Xiao Yiyi, wasn’t she also a pitiful person? Her husband had cheated on her, and in the end, she was killed by the woman he was keeping.

Seeing Xiao Yiyi’s fate, Li Xiaoqing had lingering fears and decided to find Shen Ye’s help to get rid of her sugar daddy and the fate that she feared.

Shen Ye looked at her face and found that she wasn’t lying.

But… if she was afraid, why did she choose to be kept in the first place?

However, Shen Ye didn’t say it out loud. He was just angry that Li Xiaoqing had lied to him and treated him like a fool. But now that she had confessed, he didn’t want to dwell on it.

However, this didn’t mean that he was willing to help Li Xiaoqing.

“If you really want to leave, just be honest with your sugar daddy. It’s trendy to part amicably in your circle, can he really force you to stay?”

Li Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, “I mentioned it to him, but he doesn’t agree.”

Shen Ye raised his eyebrow, “So you’re playing the true love card now?”

“What do you want me to do then?” Shen Ye didn’t understand the concept of fostering love, but since it was a business deal, he was willing to listen.

“I…I just want to leave him,” Li Xiaoqing hesitated for a moment, “I heard your talismans are very powerful, is there a talisman that can change someone’s mind?”

“Even a talisman that can make someone forget exists,” Shen Ye said, but then added, “but I won’t give it to you.”

Li Xiaoqing’s face changed slightly.

“To be honest, Miss Li, I really appreciate your change of heart and I support you. But I think it’s better if you solve this problem on your own.” Shen Ye didn’t want to get involved in this situation, especially not by using talismans on Li Xiaoqing’s sugar daddy.

Li Xiaoqing’s eyes filled with tears, and she looked at him with a pleading expression, “Master Shen, can you please help me?”

“Miss Li, let me be frank. Your sugar daddy’s wife’s family is also powerful, right? She has found out about you and your sugar daddy, and you want me to help you get away safely, don’t you?”

Perhaps Li Xiaoqing didn’t expect Shen Ye to be so perceptive, as he had figured out everything just by looking at her face. She looked stiff and didn’t say anything.

“Does your sugar daddy not agree to you leaving or does he only disagree with you wanting a TV drama heroine as a parting gift?” Shen Ye asked.

Li Xiaoqing was stunned.

This Shen Ye is really amazing, even more amazing than she imagined! If she had known earlier, she wouldn’t have come to him!

Shen Ye was right. Li Xiaoqing wanted to break up with her patron, but she wanted him to give her a leading female role before they parted ways. She came to Shen Ye to ask for a talisman, hoping that the talisman could convince her patron to agree to her conditions.

“Since you came to me for fortune-telling, I’ll give you a reading. If you work hard, you might achieve something in the future. But if you go down the wrong path, you’ll end up like Xiao Yiyi,” Shen Ye kindly reminded her.

Li Xiaoqing slumped into a chair, dejected.

“What’s meant to be will be yours and what’s not meant to be will never be yours, no matter how hard you try,” Shen Ye took out his phone and quickly opened a QR code. “It’s 20,000 yuan, no discounts.”

Li Xiaoqing burst into tears and ignored him.

Shen Ye was a little annoyed. Did she think she could get away without paying?

The manager saw how amazing Shen Ye was and didn’t dare to offend him. Moreover, Shen Ye had the support of Ba Jiao Entertainment and the Film Emperor Bai Miao. So the manager readily paid the fee.

As he was leaving, the manager looked back at Li Xiaoqing, who was still crying inside and sighed, “Master Shen, I hope you don’t take it to heart. Xiaoqing is young and inexperienced.”

Shen Ye didn’t respond to this. Instead, he stared at her and asked, “Do you know Xu Sisi?”

The manager was taken aback but nodded.

She and Xu Sisi both entered Ba Jiao Entertainment at the same time. Xu Sisi had good luck and brought out the best actors and actresses, but the biggest star in her hands was only a second-tier. Li Xiaoqing was a big star that she had brought out, so she didn’t want to give up on her.

“You’re a good person, and you’re good to your artists. But let me give you a piece of advice: there are some things you shouldn’t intervene in and you can’t escape the consequences if your artist goes down the wrong path,” Shen Ye waved his hand. “This time, I’ll give you the advice for free. You don’t have to pay me.”

The manager watched his back as he left, standing still for a long time.

Shen Ye returned to Rongyuan and talked to Xu Sisi about Li Xiaoqing’s agent.

Xu Sisi reminisced for a few seconds and said, “Oh, Liu Sha, she’s a pretty good person. When we first joined Bajiao Entertainment and had no money, she treated me to instant noodles for a month.”

During that time, everyone was poor and Liu Sha was willing to spend money to share instant noodles with her, which showed that she was a nice person. However, later on, Liu Sha went to another entertainment company and they lost contact.

Shen Ye told Xu Sisi about what happened today and said, “I already gave her a gentle reminder to either control Li Xiaoqing or leave.”

Xu Sisi nodded. Remembering how kind Liu Sha was in the past, she couldn’t bear to see her get in trouble, so she contacted Liu Sha on the side.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but smile.

Xu Sisi was still so kind. He thought, ‘The original owner must have felt Xu Sisi’s kindness before leaving this world, which gave them some sense of beauty in this world.’ He repaid Xu Sisi on behalf of the original owner, which could be considered guarding that little bit of beauty.

Ye Ze was standing next to them silently listening to their conversation, his gaze fixed on Shen Ye with a deep and elusive look.

Shen Ye noticed his gaze and met it. He didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt that the man’s eyes were deep and difficult to fathom, making him feel a bit parched.

“Come here,” Ye Ze said slowly.

Shen Ye remembered some unhealthy thoughts in his mind and suddenly became a bit hesitant, wondering what would happen if he couldn’t resist pouncing on the man.

While he was still hesitating, Ye Ze had already come closer and offered him a taste of the flavor1they’re kissing o///o.

Shen Ye: “!!!”

Fortunately, Xu Sisi was on the phone with her back turned, so she didn’t see what they were doing.

However, this feeling of having a secret affair was quite exciting. Shen Ye blushed and thought that since he had the opportunity, he should do it more often. So he really pounced on Ye Ze!

Ye Ze was pressed down on the sofa and cooperated by supporting his waist, making it easier for him to taste the flavor.

The two of them made great progress in their relationship. 

More than a month later, Fu Guanglin came with a car full of gifts to thank them in person.

“Master Shen, thank you so much. If it weren’t for your help, I don’t know where my son would have been sold to by the traffickers.” Fu Guanglin was of average height and looked somewhat like his father, with kind and gentle eyes.

He instructed his subordinates to move all the gifts into the villa and then explained why he was thanking Shen so late – it turned out that he had been busy working with the police to eradicate a group of traffickers for the past month.

Shen Ye did not refuse his gift and smiled, saying, “This is your family’s good karma and also your son’s good fortune.”

Speaking of this, Fu Guanglin also felt emotional, “I have to thank my father for this. He was a retired cadre and had always been accustomed to living frugally. Even when he was hospitalized, he didn’t want to go to the high-end ward.”

If he hadn’t been in the ordinary ward, he wouldn’t have met Shen Ye and his son might not have survived.

Shen smiled and said, “Do more good deeds in the future and you will be rewarded.”

“Of course, of course.” Fu Yu Industry had always been quietly doing charity work and his father’s retirement pension was also donated to impoverished mountainous areas. Now that his son was involved, Fu Guanglin was even more willing to believe in the concept of good karma.

Shen welcomed Fu Guanglin into the hall and asked, “The talismans I gave to your father, has your son been wearing them?”

Fu Guanglin nodded eagerly.

Shen said, “I’ll draw three more talismans for your son to wear until he’s ten years old. After that, he will have a safe and peaceful life.”

Fu Guanglin was very excited and said, “Thank you so much!”

Soon, Shen Ye used the peachwood brush to draw three talismans and handed them to Fu Guanglin, who received them respectfully and put them in his pocket with great care.

Afterward, he smiled and chatted with Shen Ye, “Old Shi wanted me to introduce you to him before, but I didn’t expect you two already knew each other. I heard that his mother’s illness has been completely cured thanks to you.”

Shen Ye was flattered and turned to Ye Ze, winking at him. “See, I’m really good!”

Ye Ze’s lips lifted slightly. “Hmm.”

Suddenly, Fu Guanglin remembered something and said, “Old Shi also lives in Rongyuan. I called him before I came here, thinking of dropping by to see him. But for some reason, he didn’t answer several calls and his home phone was also busy.”

Shen Ye frowned slightly. This was strange. Even if Mr. Shi didn’t answer the phone, there should be servants at home. The phone should not be unanswered.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Shen Ye simply used the birthdate of Mr. Shi’s wife to calculate fortune-telling. The moment the divination appeared, Shen Ye stood up abruptly and said, “Oh no!”

Fu Guanglin was startled. “Master, what happened?”

Ye Ze also looked at him.

Shen Ye said, “Something happened at Mr. Shi’s house!”

He had set up a formation in Mr. Shi’s courtyard earlier, hoping to intercept the old Taoist. But just now, when he calculated a fortune for Mrs. Shi, the divination he got was the worst one!

Mrs. Shi was in mortal danger!

“I’ll go to the Shi’s house!” Shen Ye picked up the peach wood brush and headed out.

Ye Ze held his arm. “Let’s go together.”

Shen Ye did not refuse.

Fu Guanglin also stood up and said, “I’ll go too!”
