When a Master of Metaphysics Marries into a Wealthy Family

Shen Ye lifted the old man’s hand and said, “No need to be polite, you also saved me, we don’t owe each other anything.”

The fortune-telling business also emphasizes the law of cause and effect, and right now he’s just repaying the old man’s kindness.

The other people in the hospital room were all waiting for the old man’s son to reply. When they saw that he had found the child, they were all shocked.

They had all heard with their ears as Shen Ye pointed out the hiding place of the child traffickers, and when the police rushed to the hotel called “Century Fate”, they did catch the child traffickers…

This was too accurate!

Everyone looked at Shen Ye with burning eyes.

“Young man, can you tell me when my daughter will get married?”

“You’re amazing, sir!”

“Please tell me my fortune, I want to know when my luck will turn around.”

“…”

Shen Ye smiled and said, “Fortune-telling requires payment. 20,000 yuan for one reading. If you need help solving a problem like the old man, the fee will be separate.”

The quote was very high, and the patients and their families were all ordinary people. It was difficult for them to come up with 20,000 yuan at once, so they all began to hesitate.

Seeing this, Shen Ye’s gaze swept over the faces of the people and said, “Don’t worry, I can tell from your looks that you all have good luck. You will have a smooth and peaceful future.”

Everyone laughed.

20,000 yuan was just a random figure that Shen Ye made up to avoid giving readings. These people in the hospital ward did not help him when Yang Jizu attacked him. What’s more, he hasn’t fully recovered his strength yet, and fortune-telling also consumes mental energy.

After dealing with the patients and their families, Shen Ye turned his head and saw Xu Sisi standing at the door, staring at him in shock.

Xu Sisi had just finished dealing with the accident and sent her car for repairs before rushing to the hospital.

If that talisman saved her, then this little stinky boy Shen Ye…he really had some skills!

When she returned to the ward, she happened to overhear the old man and his son talking on the phone. Later, everyone was talking at once, and she only caught the gist of the story.

The old man had lost his grandson. Shen Ye had figured out where the human trafficker was hiding. Now the child had been found and the trafficker arrested.

Xu Sisi was once again shocked.

Shen Ye…was he really that capable?!

She looked at the weak and pale young man in front of her with a complex gaze, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

It was Shen Ye who calmly greeted her, “You’re here.”

His tone sounded as if it was not surprising that she would come back to the hospital.

Did he predict that she would come back?

This shocked Xu Sisi even more.

Shen Ye glanced at her. He picked up the bag on the bed, and smiled, “Let’s go.”

Inside were only two sets of clothes and toiletries, all bought by Xu Sisi for him.

Xu Sisi finally came back to her senses and asked suspiciously, “What are you doing?”

Shen Ye replied, “Going home. I have completed the discharge procedures.”

Xu Sisi: “…”

If it were before, she would have scolded him. Falling down the stairs, unconscious for two full days, and discharged from the hospital right after waking up… He must be crazy!

But having gone through her car accident and the incident with the old man finding his grandson, she felt like she no longer had the right to scold Shen Ye.

She took a deep breath and spoke in the gentlest tone she had ever used in her life, “Why don’t you stay in the hospital for a few more days of observation before leaving?”

Shen Ye shook his head, “The doctor checked me and said I’m fine.”

Relieved to hear that the doctor said he was fine, Xu Sisi said, “Okay then, I’ll take you home.”

The two of them walked towards the stairs.

Suddenly, the old man caught up with them and said, “Young man, wait a minute!”

Shen Ye stopped in his tracks.

Although he had already repaid the old man’s kindness, the old man was a person of integrity and kindness. Shen Ye was willing to keep in touch with him.

The old man quickly walked up to him, pulled out his phone, and said, “Let’s exchange WeChat. My last name is Fu, and my son’s name is Fu Guanglin. Today, my grandson found thanks to you. Our family is very grateful to you. If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to contact me.”

He opened the app, tapped a few times, and handed the QR code to him.

Shen Ye: “……”

The old man appeared to be in his sixties or seventies, yet he was so proficient in using the app.

He reluctantly added the old man on WeChat, feeling a mix of emotions.

Similarly, Xu Sisi also had complicated feelings, but hers was because the old man’s son was named Fu Guanglin.

Fu Guanglin seemed to be the boss of Fuyu Industry, a company that sold electronics and had a significant influence as a well-known Chinese brand. Even the company’s most popular actor had only recently managed to secure a minor endorsement deal for a water heater from Fuyu Industry.

However, she quickly dismissed her speculation. If the old man was indeed the father of the boss of Fuyu Industry, a company with so much money, why would he be living in such a crowded hospital room?

Perhaps it was just a coincidence with the name.

At this moment, the old man handed a business card to Shen Ye and said, “My son is the boss of Fuyu Industry. Do you know Fuyu Home Appliances1for this part, it’s “家电” and not “实业”. “家电” (jiādiàn) is the Chinese word for home appliances? That’s our company! My son is currently with my grandson at the hospital for a check-up and can’t thank you in person. He said he would visit you in a few days to express his gratitude. You have done our family a great favor.”

Xu Sisi: “……”

She felt like she had been slapped in the face.

She couldn’t help but mutter to herself, ‘He’s the boss of Fuyu Industry…’ With so much money, why would this old man stay in such a regular hospital room? He should stay in a VIP room instead.

Shen Ye took the business card with a smile and said, “No need to be so polite. If your family wants to thank me, just introduce some business to me. I’m very accurate in fortune-telling.”

According to the original host’s memories, Fuyu Industry was well-known,  especially for their water heaters, which had more than 50% of the domestic market share.

Since the boss was so rich, his friends around him should be rich as well. Shen Ye could charge 20,000 yuan for a fortune-telling fee, and even more, if he needed to take action.

That was a lot of money…

Shen Ye felt that he could pay off the two million breach of contract fee just by fortune-telling. He would soar to the pinnacle of life from then on.

The old man nodded earnestly. “That’s for sure. You’re so talented that others can’t hire you even if they want to! Just wait, those people will have to queue up to ask you for fortune-telling!”

After the incident of finding his grandson, the old man became a fan of Shen Ye.

Shen Ye thanked the old man and said goodbye. As they left the hospital, Xu Sisi still felt a bit dazed. They met the father of the boss of Fuyu Industry just by staying at a random hospital and even made him owe them a favor.

What stroke of good luck did Shen Ye have?

If he had this ability before, his biological mother would not have been killed by Yang Ming and the mistress, nor would he have ended up with his family destroyed.

However, this may be the arrangement of fate.

She remembered that Shen Ye had said that when he was young, a master told him that he had to go through a great catastrophe to awaken his talent… If he hadn’t lost everything, how could he have become so powerful?

Xu Sisi sighed inwardly, thinking that Shen Ye was lucky to have this ability now.

She came back to her senses and said, “Let’s go, we’ll take a taxi.”

Shen Ye said, “I have to go to Mingfeng Mountain.”

Mingfeng Mountain is a well-known sanatorium in the city. Although it is called a sanatorium, it is similar to a mental hospital, where all the patients are mentally ill.

The original owner’s grandmother was locked up in Mingfeng Mountain.

After his grandfather passed away, Yang Ming transferred the Shen family’s property to his own hands, killed the original owner’s mother, and locked the original owner’s grandmother in a mental hospital.

In the original owner’s subconscious mind, there were two wishes, one was to avenge her mother, and the other was to save her grandmother.

Shen Ye must fulfill the original owner’s wishes, but avenging his mother can wait. He must first rescue his grandmother. His grandmother is so old and has been locked up for half a year. He doesn’t know what her situation is like.

Xu Sisi said, “I’ll accompany you.”

Shen Ye shook his head and said, “No need, I can go by myself.” At this point, he looked at her and asked, “Sister Si, do you have something to talk to me about?”

They were standing at the hospital gate at this time, with people coming and going on the road, and cars entering and exiting. Some people were holding test reports and smiling, while others looked heavy. Some family members were supporting patients to enter the hospital lobby, while others were carrying discharged children and taking a taxi to leave.

An ambulance happened to drive up to them. The family members were crying heartbreakingly, and the doctors and nurses were pushing the patient into the lobby…

Xu Sisi remembered her purpose and said, “Your talisman paper is very effective. I came to thank you.”

If it weren’t for that talisman paper, she might have been the one lying in the ambulance right now.

Shen Ye smiled and said, “It’s because you have a kind heart that you have received good karma.”

Xu Sisi flipped her hair and said, “You’re good at talking, kid.”

She had helped many people, and her relatives and friends all said she had a kind heart. Especially helping Shen Ye, everyone around her advised her not to, saying that Shen Ye was useless now and that helping him would be going against Yang Ming, who would surely retaliate against her. But she couldn’t help but reach out to help Shen Ye, who seemed so pitiful.

Sure enough, good deeds bring good rewards.

She smiled and said, “There’s one more thing I want to talk to you about.”

Initially, Shen Ye was ready to hail a taxi and leave, but upon hearing her words, he stopped and said, “Go ahead.”

After waking up, Xu Sisi was the first and only person who treated him well. Besides being grateful to her, he also trusted her.

Xu Sisi said, “You should remember that you owe nearly two million yuan in breach of contract fees. Have you thought about how to repay it?”

Shenyue replied, “I have thought about it. I’ll rely on fortune-telling to make money in the future.”

If it weren’t for the car accident and the incident where the old man found his grandson, Xu Sisi might have slapped him on the head and told him to stop talking nonsense. But now she knew that Shen Ye had real skills, so she agreed and said, “That’s not a bad idea.”

Shen Ye looked at her for a few seconds and then laughed, “Don’t you remember that you didn’t believe I could tell fortunes?”

Xu Sisi took out a small makeup bag from her purse, which contained a pile of black and grey marks. She had kept it since the car accident. She gave Shen Ye a disdainful look and said, “I’ve always only believed in science. But after what happened today, do you think my worldview can still stay intact? Let me tell you, my worldview is shattered!”

Shen Ye found her teasing quite funny and burst into laughter.

Xu Sisi said, “I have a business proposition for you that can help you pay off the breach of contract fee in one go.”

Shen Ye looked at her.

Xu Sisi said, “What kind of look is that?”

Shen Ye covered his chest and said, “As far as I know, you are not the kind of agent who likes to pimp out their clients.”

“…” Xu Sisi was so angry that she slapped him on the shoulder. “Get lost!”

If it weren’t for him hitting his head earlier, she would have slapped the back of his head instead of his shoulder.

Shen Ye quickly begged for forgiveness, “I was just joking. Please continue.”

Xu Sisi clicked her tongue. Previously, this guy was like a mute who just nodded along, but now he dares to joke with her.

She has now fully accepted Shen Ye’s change. She remembered that in martial arts novels, the protagonist was often like this. After they opened their body’s meridians, their martial arts would greatly increase, and their personality would become more confident and complete.

She said, “The CEO of the company has encountered some trouble. If you can help, the company will pay the two million breach of contract fee for you.”

When she was dealing with the car accident, she remembered that the CEO’s family seemed to be in trouble. If Shen Ye could help, then the breach of contract fee wouldn’t be a problem. So she immediately ran over to tell him.

Shen Ye could tell that she was seriously considering his interests, and it would be a lie to say he wasn’t moved. In addition, the emotions of the original host still lingered in his consciousness, making his nose tingle with a sour feeling.

He sniffled and said, “Okay, I’ll come to find you tomorrow.”

He needed to pick up his grandmother from the sanatorium and make arrangements for her, so he wouldn’t have time to do it today.

Xu Sisi said, “Then we’ll contact each other tomorrow, and I’ll come to pick you up.”

Shen Ye waved his hand and said, “I’ll go to the company myself.”

Xu Sisi didn’t insist, as her car was still being serviced and she would have to take a taxi to pick him up.

The two parted ways at the hospital entrance. Xu Sisi went back to the company to talk to her boss about the matter with Shen Ye, while Shen Ye took a taxi to Mingfeng Mountain.
