Chapter 245 Every Cause Has an Effect
Actually, it's understandable that the Taoist priests at Qingyue Temple refused the business, since no one knew Ye Wanxi's abilities better than Zou Yuanhe and his fellow disciples.
Since she had previously interfered in Chen Debang's film crew's affairs but failed to resolve the matter completely, instead causing the crew to halt production, it's clear there are some secrets they don't know about.
If we rashly intervene in this matter at this time, who knows whether it will bring good fortune or misfortune?
It would be better to let the parties involved come to Ye Wanxi themselves. If she can resolve the issue, that would be best. If even she can't resolve it, then there's no point in talking about them.
Ye Wanxi originally thought that Liu Zhengqing's father came to her because he knew about Xiao Yuti's family's previous affairs, but she didn't expect there to be such a little episode afterward.
However, since they had followed the clues from Chen Debang's film crew, Ye Wanxi didn't need to beat around the bush with them anymore.
"Since the Taoists of Qingyue Temple know that I was involved in related matters, and even sent you to find me, you must have already found out which matter I was involved in, right?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengqing subconsciously glanced at Xiao Yuti, only to find him silent and seemingly unwilling to respond.
After hesitating for a moment, he told the truth: "My dad had someone check and found out that Miss Ye had visited Director Chen Debang's film crew a month ago. Since filming began, the crew has had a series of accidents, and several main actors have had accidents after joining the crew, just like... my aunt and uncle's family. Not long after Miss Ye visited that film crew, Director Chen announced an indefinite suspension of filming."
They say filming is suspended indefinitely, but those in the know understand that it's off the market and filming can't continue.
"Coincidentally... the script that Director Chen's crew is going to shoot was written by my uncle."
"Did he really write it?"
"What?" Liu Zhengqing was stunned for a moment, almost not realizing what Ye Wanxi had just said.
Ye Wanxi looked up at Gao Min, who was waiting for her to have breakfast not far away, and stood up, saying, "Everything has a cause and an effect. What he and his family are suffering now is just the result of the evil deeds they committed years ago. If he wants to change the situation, he can only rely on himself. Otherwise, no one can save him."
"Wh...what do you mean? This was caused by my uncle, he..."
"Whether the truth is true or not, you should ask your uncle."
"Then you..."
Ye Wanxi looked up at Liu Zhengqing, and in that one glance, he felt as if all his thoughts and plans had been laid bare under the sunlight, completely exposed and impossible to conceal.
"I thought you were mentally prepared before you came."
Liu Zhengqing was startled, and after a long while, he said with some difficulty, "Is there no other way?"
"Yes, it's simple for your aunt to get out of her current predicament: just get a divorce and never see each other again. The two children are more troublesome. They are related to him by blood, and because of him, although they won't be in mortal danger, they may suffer a lonely and miserable life, be plagued by bad luck, and nothing they do will go smoothly."
“This…” Liu Zhengqing’s expression changed slightly. “Although I don’t know what my uncle did, they are definitely innocent. This is too unfair.”
Ye Wanxi glanced at him with a complicated expression: "You're related to him, so it's understandable that you would think that way. That's why I asked you to go back and ask your uncle what he did. When he harmed others, he didn't care whether the other people's children were innocent or sad."
"Although it may sound harsh, there's a saying that children pay for their fathers' debts. How he treated others and their families back then will now come back to haunt him and his family."
Ye Wanxi paused for a moment, then said, "Actually, given the current miserable state of your uncle's family, you should be able to imagine what shameful things he has done in the past."
Liu Zhengqing was stunned, and for some reason, an overwhelming sense of fear suddenly arose in his heart.
If... if what the person in front of them is saying is true, then was all the gentleness, competence and friendliness that his uncle has shown in front of them over the years just a lie?
"Whether he clings to what doesn't belong to him, making his family pay for everything he's done, or whether he gives up the stolen luxury and false fame to seek a glimmer of hope for his family, it all depends on his choice."
Liu Zhengqing seemed still reeling from the sheer volume of information revealed in Ye Wanxi's words, and said with his head down, "I...I understand, I'll go and confirm it."
Seeing his expression, Ye Wanxi looked up and pondered for a moment before finally letting out a sigh of relief: "What you just said makes sense. I don't care what your uncle does, but your aunt and her two children certainly don't deserve to die."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhengqing suddenly raised his head, looking at Ye Wanxi with a surprised and expectant expression: "You mean..."
"I have three amulets here. Take them back to your aunt, cousin, and sister. They can temporarily protect their lives."
Liu Zhengqing was overjoyed and reached out to take it, but Ye Wanxi dodged him, leaving him looking bewildered.
Xiao Yuti pushed him in exasperation: "Pay up."
"Oh, oh, oh!" Liu Zhengqing suddenly realized what was happening and quickly transferred some money to Ye Wanxi.
When he reached out again, Ye Wanxi dodged him once more.
"I can give it to you, but I have one condition."
Liu Zhengqing awkwardly withdrew his hand: "Please go ahead."
"You can tell your parents, you can tell your aunt, but you absolutely cannot tell your uncle, not anyone."
Ye Wanxi gave portions to his aunt, cousins, and sisters, but not to his uncle.
Liu Zhengqing was already struggling with how to tell his family about this, but Ye Wanxi's request directly helped him make the decision.
"Will you agree?"
“I promise! I will tell my aunt about this and tell her not to tell my uncle. I promise my parents will not let anything slip until they find out the truth.”
Xiao Yuti, listening from the side, was somewhat curious: "What if his aunt doesn't listen to advice and insists on telling her husband about this..."
From Liu Zhengqing's few words just now, it's clear that his aunt and uncle have a pretty good relationship.
One is her husband who has been by her side for many years, and the other is a so-called master she has never even met. It goes without saying which one Liu Zhengqing's aunt would favor.
Xiao Yuti's concerns are not unfounded; in fact, they could very well happen.
Ye Wanxi pondered for a moment, then smiled innocently and said, "What might happen is beyond my control."
It was a seemingly casual remark, yet it made Liu Zhengqing's blood freeze and his heart pound wildly.
I have a feeling that if what Uncle Xiao said is true, something terrible and unpredictable will definitely happen!
