Chapter 97 The Metaphysics Master's Fiancée 14

Jiang Yiqing added Ms. Zhao, the person in charge of the Qingnan Flower and Plant Market, to her contact information, thinking it wouldn't bother her to go out of her way to help...

Jiang Yiqing added Ms. Zhao, the person in charge of Qingnan Flower and Plant Market, to her contact information. Thinking that she didn't want to trouble someone to make her a bouquet of flowers, she decided to just choose some ready-made ones from her WeChat Moments. However, when she opened her Moments, she saw a notice from Ms. Zhao that the entire flower and plant market would be closing down the following month.

Why is this happening? Logically speaking, such beautiful flowers shouldn't have trouble finding buyers.

Jiang Yiqing asked, "Miss Zhao, I saw you said you were going to close down, what's going on?"

Such a spiritual place, even the flowers planted there seem to possess a spiritual quality, how could one easily give it up?

“The land management rights were taken away at a high price. The other party has power and influence, so I can’t continue operating it even if I want to,” Ms. Zhao said. “Ms. Jiang, I’m so sorry to let you hear such unpleasant news.”

Why so suddenly?

“The other party hired a feng shui master who said that the place would bring prosperity to the family business and descendants. He first threatened me and then tried to bribe me. I really had no choice.”

"Miss Zhao, do you believe in metaphysics? This place has very strong spiritual energy, and that's probably why they've set their sights on it."

Zhao Ya thought about it and realized it was true. Her planting skills were only considered above average among all flower growers, and she couldn't compare to some of the leading flower companies abroad. However, her flowers had a great reputation and had gained a good customer base not only in China, but also in many overseas customers who praised them and specifically asked for her flowers.

Zhao Ya attributed this to good luck, but how can one explain things in the world with just the word "luck"?

Now that someone else has their eye on this land, Zhao Ya thinks it's best to avoid direct competition and consider operating elsewhere. However, after hearing Jiang Yiqing's suggestion, she knows that she absolutely cannot let go of the Qingnan land. If she loses this land, she will lose the trust of most of her customers.

Even though her old customers would still buy her flowers and comfort her by saying that things would be as good as before, Zhao Ya couldn't accept bringing inferior products to her customers, and she couldn't accept the disappointed looks in some of their eyes.

Since she chose to grow flowers, she should always grow the best flowers.

"Ms. Jiang, what should I do? Should I sue them?" Zhao Ya asked blankly.

Jiang Yiqing and the other party were merely clients and online acquaintances who had never met. She knew almost nothing about the laws of this world and dared not speak carelessly to anyone. However, she sensed Zhao Ya's trust in her, as she consulted her on such matters. So she said, "Sister Zhao, if you don't think I'm bluffing you, you should sue the other party and make sure you keep the land in Qingnan."

"But my operating rights are indeed expiring soon. If they try to drive up the price, I will definitely lose, and I will also be secretly retaliated against, which will affect my future career and life."

"..."

"Alas, I also started from scratch and got to where I am today. It's a pity that I'm a farmer who grows flowers. I haven't learned much about business and law, and I can't even pick up a powerful weapon to fight against injustice."

“How about this, Sister Zhao,” Jiang Yiqing said, “My aunt is an expert in this field. She runs a multinational legal consulting firm, but her main business is real estate investment. If you trust me, go and ask her.”

Zhao Ya was a little confused. If that piece of land was really that good, then what did Jiang Yiqing mean by saying that? ... However, she quickly suppressed the thought in her mind. How could Miss Jiang be like those greedy people? Even if she couldn't get that piece of land on her own, she should cooperate with Miss Jiang's side instead of bowing down to those who came to snatch her land.

"Okay, thank you, Ms. Jiang."

Jiang Yiqing had only been on Luo Shu's social media for a short time when she found her a client. However, she wasn't sure if she was doing the right thing, or if she was causing trouble for her aunt. She immediately sent her an apologetic message: "Aunt Luo, I have a friend here who needs to consult you about a land ownership matter. Sorry to bother you."

Luo Shu, a very busy person, actually answered her, saying, "Just let her contact me."

After Jiang Yiqing acted as an intermediary and made the introduction, she sent a message to Luo Shuyu, saying, "Qingnan has some legal disputes, so I introduced Miss Zhao to your aunt."

Luo Shuyu was very clever and immediately figured out what was going on. She said, "Since you've asked us for help, why don't you just hand over that piece of land to Luo's Real Estate for management? Miss Zhao can continue to operate it."

"You can do that?!" I knew the Luo family was rich, but I never imagined they were this rich.

“That piece of land happens to have abundant spiritual energy, which can continuously supply this villa with the earth's spiritual energy, eliminating the resentment in the surrounding area,” Luo Shuyu said. “Not only that—”

"besides?"

“Yiqing, I know you can absorb the spiritual energy from flowers. It’s the same principle as making money. How can collecting it yourself compare to the automatic supply of spiritual energy? You can just lie there and have a constant stream of spiritual energy coming in. Isn’t that better?”

"..." Unbelievable, unheard of. Jiang Yiqing never expected that it could be done like this. She considered accumulating some more fragments herself, but according to Luo Shuyu's idea, finding a piece of land with abundant spiritual energy would continuously supply her with spiritual energy. But wasn't this approach a bit too much?

Can she claim the spiritual energy of that land for herself?

"Is that mine?"

“As long as the spiritual energy forms a cycle, there won’t be any problem,” Luo Shuyu said. “I can help you do that. Isn’t the way of survival in this world simply plunder and regeneration?”

Jiang Yiqing never expected that Luo Shuyu, who seemed gentle but was actually cold-hearted yet exceptionally intelligent, would say these words to her.

I never imagined that the metaphysical master in my mind was also an expert in secular matters.

Most importantly, Jiang Yiqing herself didn't expect to do this; she was clearly scheming for her own benefit.

She could have remained aloof from worldly affairs, standing at the pinnacle of society and coldly observing people's struggles and scrambles, but she was willing to step into this mortal world for her own sake.

"I thought people who became metaphysical masters were detached from worldly affairs. I even thought you were quite aloof. Hmph, it turns out that a strong woman like Aunt Luo wouldn't raise a daughter who doesn't care about the world." Jiang Yiqing didn't know how to express her feelings of gratitude, so she teased her.

"Untouched by worldly concerns?" Luo Shuyu laughed first. Jiang Yiqing had never seen her so skeptical before. Fortunately, it wasn't directed at her: "Just because someone studies metaphysics doesn't mean they're extraordinary. But you're right, if it weren't for Aunt Jiang's request and the friendship between our two families, I shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter."

"I still can't believe I deserve such a good thing," Jiang Yiqing said. "But Sister Luo, I appreciate your kindness in helping me like this."

Luo Shuyu had seen many people who believed they deserved the best, using their commissions to make even more demands, and even threatening her to help them seize opportunities. Greed knows no bounds. But she had never seen someone like Jiang Yiqing, who believed she shouldn't have it all. She could see ghosts with terror, felt the sadness of being misunderstood, and when the doctor said she didn't utter a sound of pain during her fracture treatment. Even now, facing her birthday tribulation, she could still maintain a magnanimous heart to accept the ghosts who had harmed her… She simply couldn't let go of such a pure and insightful soul.

"Isn't your 22nd birthday coming up? My mom wants you to make a wish. Santa Claus can grant any wish, why not give it a try?"

"If I were to make a wish, I would wish for my family to live a peaceful and happy life, and I would also wish for Aunt Luo and Sister Luo to be well. I really hope that you can both be happy and blessed."

"Why don't you just make a wish on me? Isn't that what I'm good at? Do you think I can't help the people around me get rid of misfortune and leave behind good fortune?" Luo Shuyu retorted.

“Okay.” Did Luo Shuyu want to accept it? Her family must also want her to get through this ordeal smoothly, so let her go for it. Jiang Yiqing suddenly realized and said, “...I’ll talk to Aunt Luo.”

Zhao Ya can continue growing flowers, the Luo family can profit from the investment, and she can use it to dispel the effects of the cursed hand seal, while also obtaining a continuous stream of spiritual energy fragments. It's a win-win situation for all parties.

Jiang Yiqing told Luo Shu her wish, and Luo Shu said, "Leave it to me, I will definitely help our precious Yiqing fulfill her wish. By the way, Shuyu didn't bully you, did she?"

Not only that, Luo Shuyu was also very kind to her, so kind that Jiang Yiqing didn't know how to respond.

"Shuyu has a strange temper. She's incredibly kind to those around her, but she's very indifferent to others. If you feel like she's ignoring you, she's definitely testing you. Yiqing, your aunt has a small request: you two must get along well."

Although Luo Shu didn't say it explicitly, Jiang Yiqing sensed that she seemed to think it would be difficult for Luo Shuyu to meet a suitable person.

It's strange. How could someone like Luo Shuyu lack marriage partners?

Jiang Yiqing was puzzled, so she simply asked Luo Shuyu, "Why did you choose me as your marriage partner?"

Afternoon sunlight streamed into the living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the yellow dancing orchids on the table stretched out their branches. The two of them each occupied a corner of the sofa.

"Do you really want to know?" Luo Shuyu wasn't afraid that she wouldn't want to be with her after knowing, but rather that she was afraid that she would be with her out of inexplicable pity.

For Luo Shuyu, pity was an insult.

"Don't tell me it was a fortune teller who said we were a match made in heaven, and that's how it all came about?"

"Don't you think it's inappropriate?" Luo Shuyu continued to ask, raising her eyebrows slightly. She felt overwhelmed by Jiang Yiqing's attitude, which was sometimes evasive and sometimes bold. However, she didn't know how to break the ice.

Luo Shuyu had originally planned to consider whether she and Jiang Yiqing could date after meeting. If they could date, she would then assess their compatibility and whether they could stay together in the future. However, now she wanted to start dating as soon as possible for further evaluation, but—she was stuck at this step.

There are definitely not a few people in the world with the same birth chart.

“It’s not just about your birth chart; it also considers the location of your birth and the distribution of stars in the sky at that time. Such a person is unique in the world,” Luo Shuyu said. “I am someone who believes in and talks about metaphysics. If my expert tells me that there is one most suitable person, then why should I look for someone else?”

Was this a confession to her? Jiang Yiqing was stunned. She felt like she was being flirted with, but she was afraid that her reaction would be exaggerated and make Luo Shuyu laugh at her. Would Luo Shuyu just coldly watch her fall for him and then gracefully walk away?

After all, Luo Shuyu's confession was so subtle, it was as if she was trying to confuse her first.

They said before that they wouldn't discuss it anymore and would cancel the marriage, but now they're doing this.

Jiang Yiqing looked at the red thread in her hand. Although she liked this kind of fateful connection, she wouldn't blindly believe it when it came to the point of blind faith. She would rather trust her own heart.
