Chapter 389 Do you want to default on your debt?

Upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words, many people's expressions changed, and Grandpa Xiang even swayed and nearly fainted.

That's why he hesitated and felt uneasy just now; he couldn't accept the worst-case scenario.

Rather than be sentenced to death, they would rather cling to that one in a million chance until they both enter their coffins.

Seeing his strong reaction, Ye Wanxi suddenly realized that her words were slightly ambiguous and could easily be misunderstood.

She quickly helped him up and explained, "I'm sorry, I didn't explain clearly. What I meant was, you don't need to consult me; what you wanted to know has already come true."

"Wh...what?" Grandpa Xiang was stunned, as were the old friends following behind him.

After realizing what was happening, Grandpa Xiang grabbed Ye Wanxi's hand: "You...you know what I want to calculate?"

"I know."

The information Gao Min gave her mentioned this old man. He was a prominent figure in the industry when he was young, but as he got older, he retired and gradually faded out of the industry.

Unfortunately, an accident ten years ago left his son in a vegetative state.

Grandpa Xiang and his wife had been loving and devoted to each other for most of their lives, and they only had one son.

When their son suddenly had an accident, the family felt like the sky had fallen.

Their daughter-in-law, after serving her husband for six or seven years, finally could no longer bear it and proposed to leave.

The two elderly people also felt that their son had dragged his wife down, so they did not blame her for it. They even recognized her as their goddaughter and arranged for the two to divorce so that she could go and find her own happiness.

His daughter-in-law is gone, but his son still needs someone to take care of him. In his condition, lying in the hospital, he needs to spend money to stay alive at any time.

As a result, Grandpa Xiang's wife stayed at the hospital every day to take care of their son, while Grandpa Xiang had to return to work and take on some roles to support his son's daily medical expenses.

If there's one thing Grandpa Xiang cares about right now, it's probably his son who's still lying in the hospital.

The reason they came to see Ye Wanxi was undoubtedly to ask this question, but...

"Your wish has been fulfilled, there's no need to go through this trouble again."

Grandpa Xiang was still somewhat incredulous: "But..."

But when he came this morning, his son was still the same as always. How could that be...?

His old friends behind him were relatively calmer and hurriedly said, "Old Xiang, quickly call your wife and ask what's going on."

"Yes, yes, your sister-in-law should still be in the hospital right now. Call her and ask."

When Grandpa Xiang heard them say that, he hurriedly went to look for his phone.

Just then, a staff member called out, "Teacher Xiang, your phone is ringing."

"A cell phone? Quick, quick, give it to me."

Grandpa Xiang rushed over to grab his phone, but the staff, worried he might fall, quickly handed it to him.

Grandpa Xiang looked at the caller ID and, sure enough, it was his wife calling.

As soon as the call connected, I heard the words I had wanted to hear most for the past ten years.

"Old Xiang, our son...our son is awake."

"Is your son awake?"

Grandpa Xiang felt a buzzing in his head, and he almost dropped his phone. His old friends, worried that he might overreact and cause an accident, quickly grabbed his hands and shouted, "Old Xiang, Old Xiang, take a deep breath, take a deep breath, this is a good thing. Don't let your son wake up and you end up back in there."

Grandpa Xiang's attention was successfully drawn back by his old friend's call. He barely managed to suppress his excitement and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, you're right, it's a good thing, it's a good thing. No, I have to go to the hospital right away, the hospital."

Grandpa Xiang hurriedly turned to Director Jiao to ask for leave: "Old Jiao, my son has woken up, I have to go see him, can my performance be rescheduled?"

Director Jiao was a little stunned at this moment, but the fact that the other person's son had woken up was a great joy, and it would be too inhumane of him to really restrict him from going.

“Go ahead, there’s nothing major happening today. You stay at the hospital with your son and I’ll postpone all your filming. Don’t rush back.”

"Thank you, thank you." Grandpa Xiang wished he could sprout wings and fly to the hospital. After asking Director Jiao for leave, he glanced at Ye Wanxi with a complicated expression and hurriedly left.

After he left, everyone's gazes toward Ye Wanxi became even more intense.

Aside from a few young actors making sarcastic remarks about "playing tricks," everyone else's attitude towards Ye Wanxi underwent a complete transformation.

Several people had even started walking towards Ye Wanxi, and the way their eyes were shining made it easy to tell what they were up to.

Unfortunately, none of their plans worked. Director Jiao suddenly appeared and scared everyone away with a cold look.

"What are you all doing gathered here? Yitao, Yuna, get ready. We're about to shoot the first scene. Props team, hurry up and get everything ready for me. Don't make me repeat myself."

The director of the film crew is the most important person in the world. Director Jiao's shout directly extinguished the hopes of the group of people who were trying to get something for nothing.

Those who were specifically named ran faster than anyone else.

Seeing that everyone had run away, Director Jiao nodded in satisfaction and walked over, rubbing his hands together.

He had heard that Ye Wanxi only performed three divinations a day. She had just performed one for Yun Youna. He didn't know if she would perform one for Lao Xiang, and there was also the auspicious day and time he had asked her to do...

Don't ask, the answer is regret! If he had known Ye Wanxi had this ability, he definitely wouldn't have let her calculate this!

Director Jiao wasn't sure if this counted as the three hexagrams being complete, but if he hadn't chased the others away, he definitely wouldn't have been able to seize the initiative.

"Xiao Ye, I..." The scheming director was eager to have Ye Wanxi tell his fortune as well.

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Wanxi interrupted him: "Two thousand."

"Huh?" Director Jiao's words came to an abrupt halt. "What, two thousand?"

"The auspicious date and time we calculated earlier, plus the service fee for resolving the matter, totals two thousand. Cash or bank transfer?"

Director Jiao: "..."

It feels like a raging fire igniting dry wood, just one step away from completion, only to be doused with a bucket of cold water and instantly wilted!

Seeing that Director Jiao remained silent for a long time with a bitter and numb expression on his face, Ye Wanxi raised her eyebrows and said, "You're not trying to renege on your debt, are you?"

Director Jiao almost choked on his breath and nearly died on the spot.

It's only two thousand yuan, why would I be afraid he'll renege on the debt? Is he really that stingy?

Director Jiao immediately lost interest in fortune-telling, angrily sent Ye Wanxi a 2,000 yuan cash red envelope, and then sent her off to get her makeup done.

Before leaving, Ye Wanxi glanced at him again, as if worried that he might get sick from being so distressed about the two thousand yuan.

Director Jiao: Thank you so much!

Even after she had walked away, Director Jiao was still seething with anger and kept pacing around like a stubborn bull, looking both pitiful and funny.

"This girl is obsessed with money!"

Despite his anger, Director Jiao did not harbor any resentment towards her; he was merely a little worried.
