Chapter 620 She's Very Well-Behaved (Forty-Nine)
Shangshang wanted to go, but she was home alone and no one was there to drive her, and she was too lazy to go out and hail a taxi.
After thinking it over, he finally declined Shen Fanxing's offer.
Shen Fanxing was not giving up and called Shang Shang directly: "You have to come. I've asked Xiaoxiao to drive back and pick you up. Come on over."
Shang Shang immediately agreed: "Okay, I'll change my clothes now and wait for Xiao Xiao."
Xiaoxiao arrived very quickly, in less than half an hour.
To Shang Shang's utter surprise, the interesting old man that Shen Fanxing had mentioned lived right next to the villa where her aunt kept her pets.
That is, the villa where Pei Yanli parked his car last time.
Shang Shang became even more interested; she also wanted to know what the relationship was between this family and Pei Yanli.
When she arrived at the main gate, the nanny was waiting for her and led her to the pavilion in the back courtyard.
The weather in Beijing at the end of October was still quite warm. Shen Fanxing was wearing a Chinese-style dress with wide sleeves, her hair was pulled back, and her face was clean and without makeup.
Sitting there, he really did have a bit of a Taoist air about him.
Sitting opposite her was an old man in his sixties, with completely white hair and a serious expression.
When Shen Fanxing saw Shang Shang coming over, she stood up with a serious expression and introduced to the old man: "A friend of mine has very good cinnabar. Only with cinnabar can I continue to calculate for you."
Shang Shang was taken aback. What cinnabar? How come she didn't know about cinnabar?
The assistant had already rushed over and handed a box of cinnabar powder to Shen Fanxing: "It's here."
Shen Fanxing turned around, secretly winked at Shang Shang, and said seriously, "Sit down for a while. After I finish my reading for this old man, I'll go to your friend's place."
Shang Shang, not understanding what was going on, still nodded in agreement.
When Shen Fanxing looked at the old man again, she slowly said, "You said you wanted to find a good marriage for your youngest son, hoping the woman would be a businesswoman and three years older than him?"
The old man nodded: "Yes, I've already calculated it. This woman will be helpful to his career."
Shen Fanxing raised an eyebrow: "You asked me to come here so I could calculate their birth charts?"
The old man nodded again: "That's right. Also, there's the feng shui of my house. My company has been declining all these years. I'd like to ask a master to take a look and see if there's anything that's causing the problem."
Shen Fanxing's expression turned serious: "Okay."
He took out a piece of white paper, spread cinnabar on it, pointed at the cinnabar with his index and middle fingers together, closed his eyes and silently recited the mantra.
It was as if a force was drawing on the cinnabar, back and forth, and soon a fierce character appeared on it.
The old man stared in shock, clearly stunned by the scene, mainly because he clearly saw that Shen Fanxing's fingers did not touch the cinnabar.
No one else moved, and the character did indeed appear stroke by stroke.
Unable to hold back his sweat, he looked at Shen Fanxing with even greater admiration: "Master... what does this mean? This..."
Shen Fanxing opened her eyes, frowned as she looked at the words, remained silent for a while, then looked at the old man: "Have you had two marriages? No, to be precise, you have another woman outside?"
The old man looked at Shen Fanxing in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and nodded: "Yes, when I went to the countryside back then, I met a girl and had a child with her."
It was no secret that Pei Yanli was an illegitimate child, so there was no need for him to hide it.
Shen Fanxing nodded: "That's right. This woman died from overwork and has a lot of resentment. She has been following you all these years. And you haven't been good to her most beloved son."
The old man was even more shocked: "Impossible. Although I didn't bring my youngest son home to raise him, I never shortchanged him on any of the money I was owed."
Upon hearing this, Shang Shang understood the relationship between the old man and Pei Yanli. It turned out that this was Pei Yanli's cold-blooded and ruthless scumbag father.
Shen Fanxing sighed: "Back then, she was seriously ill and entrusted her most beloved son to you, her biological father. But you didn't care at all. You said you would give him money, but your wife kept it all. The only thing that caught your attention was that the child was exceptionally intelligent, which made you feel very proud."
"Therefore, she resents you and is reluctant to leave."
The old man felt a chill run down his spine and dared not look into Chen Fanxing's eyes.
The master's eyes were clear and bright, as if they could see through his thoughts. He remained silent for a moment, then asked, "Is there a way to solve this?"
Shen Fanxing nodded: "Of course I can. Others probably wouldn't, but I can. But it depends on whether you're willing or not."
The old man frowned: "How much money do you need?"
Shen Fanxing shook her head: "No, no, no, you don't need to give me money. You just need to give half of your current net worth to the son she cares about, and then go to the temple to burn incense for forty-nine days and hang a memorial tablet for the deceased."
The old man clearly hadn't expected such ruthlessness, staring at Shen Fanxing with wide eyes: "He doesn't want to come back to manage the company, and he even wants to take half of the company's shares? How is that possible?"
Shen Fanxing shook her index finger: "No, no, old man, you've got it wrong. It's not just half of the company's shares, but also half of the houses and shops under your name."
The old man slammed his fist on the table, ready to explode in anger. Shen Fanxing pointed to the words on the cinnabar, and the old man lowered his eyes, saw them, and instantly swallowed his rage.
The cinnabar powder was fine and lustrous, and the fierce characters on it seemed to change at this moment, taking on a ferocious and terrifying appearance.
It looked as if it was about to grow fangs and devour him.
Old Master Pei shook his head, closed his eyes and opened them again. The fierce character was the same as before, without any ferocious appearance.
Was he seeing things?
But he dared not say anything more or do anything disrespectful, and humbly asked Shen Fanxing, "Can't it be less?"
Shen Fanxing looked troubled: "Look... these things aren't for me. If you don't believe me, you don't have to give them to me. If you want your family to prosper and your business to flourish, then go ahead and do it. The choice is yours. I can't give you any advice."
Old Master Pei hardened his heart and said, "Fine, I'll give it to you, as long as Pei Yanli can come back to manage the company." He then asked Shen Fanxing, "What about his marriage?"
Shen Fanxing frowned: "It's also very unlucky. This woman will be of great help to your son and will help him reach new heights in his career, but she's bad luck to you."
Shang Shang almost burst out laughing; this sentence must be Shen Fanxing talking nonsense.
Old Master Pei believed it, and frowned as he looked at Shen Fanxing: "What do you mean by that?"
Shen Fanxing sighed: "Look, you were born in the Year of the Tiger, and that girl was also born in the Year of the Tiger. How can things possibly go well if two tigers come from the same family?"
Old Master Pei fell silent. He still firmly believed in these things. If it was something that was bringing him bad luck, then he really needed to think it over carefully.
Shen Fanxing seized the opportunity to speak: "His marriage was preordained, so you shouldn't interfere."
Old Master Pei remained silent. Not only did he not use marriage to control Pei Yanli, but he also had to give up half of his family property and ultimately could not interfere in his marriage.
Shen Fanxing pointed to the words on the cinnabar again: "Look... the words have changed..."
