"Just because my husband is Lu Xiangbei and my uncle is the Taoist Zhizhen, are these reasons acceptable?"
Cheng Jie looked at Liu Xiangnan with bloodshot eyes, full of jealousy.
Before she knew that Liu Xiangnan could see the little devil in her, Cheng Jie had a feeling that she was the most powerful person in the world.
Even if Liu Xiangnan married Lu Xiangbei and became the young lady of the Lu family, what would that matter?
Is there a ghost in her?
No!
She is just an ordinary, ordinary human being, a country bumpkin at that!
But what about now?
Liu Xiangnan is not only Mrs. Lu, she can also see ghosts that ordinary people cannot see!
Cheng Jie's only advantage at the moment disappeared without a trace in front of Liu Xiangnan.
"Why? Why should all the good things in this world be yours? You are just a country bumpkin, a peasant!"
She doesn't understand, she doesn't get it.
We are all human beings, so why does she have such a rough fate, while Liu Xiangnan can rise from a country boy to become a phoenix in one fell swoop?
She, the phoenix, has fallen to a level worse than a pheasant.
When Liu Xiangnan heard these people look down on "country people" and call them "mud legs", she felt a little angry.
"Yes, because I'm a country bumpkin, a peasant! Because I'm a small-town test-taker, because I've never done anything wrong in my life, because we country bumpkins, peasants, grow food and vegetables to feed you young men and women in the city who wear designer clothes, leisurely drink afternoon tea, and go to high-end places to play golf with a few friends!"
"Just because we didn't receive a rich education in the first half of our lives, just because we are upright, just because we know our fate is hard but we are unwilling to be ordinary, and we strive to move forward, instead of being like you, who is extravagant because of wealth and disrespects the fruits of any labor. Are these reasons enough for you to understand why I am so successful?"
Liu Xiangnan's series of outputs left Cheng Jie speechless for a moment.
She looked at Liu Xiangnan, not knowing what to say.
She wanted to summon the little ghost in her body to help her retort to Liu Xiangnan.
But the little ghost in her body looked as if it had nothing to do with her, which made Cheng Jie feel a little resentful.
Seeing that Cheng Jie was speechless, Liu Xiangnan stopped confronting her.
Instead, he looked at the little ghost on Cheng Jie and asked someone to bring the painting from the car.
After the painting was brought, Liu Xiangnan opened it and asked the little ghost, "What do you know about this painting?"
The little ghost didn't want to say it, but Taoist Zhizhen had already brought some magic tools over.
Worried that he would actually turn into a wisp of smoke and be completely annihilated, the little ghost quickly raised his hands.
"I'll tell you everything I know! I know about this painting because, while I was wandering, I once spent some time with the father of the current head of the Jin family in Kyoto, forty years ago. According to the previous head of the family, not only were cultural relics brought south, but also an elixir that could make anyone immortal. This elixir was made by several Taoists who captured thousands of thousand-year-old mythical beasts. Because the Jin family wanted to ensure eternal prosperity, they planned to give this elixir to the new king."
Liu Xiangnan thought it was just a suspense film about some cultural relics, but he didn't expect the plot to develop to this point and become a fantasy drama!
"But the situation at the time was that the entire country was in turmoil. The head of the Jin family who proposed the move south didn't dare to make a rash decision, fearing that if he invested in the wrong person, not only would the Jin family be in trouble, but the entire country might be plunged into dire straits. So, he hid the elixir among the cultural relics that were being moved south. But later, for some unknown reason, the person responsible for escorting the cultural relics lost contact with the Jin family. The Jin family has been searching for that person for years, and later found that he might be hiding in City A. I am a ghost, and I also want to become an immortal, so I sneaked all the way to City A, and finally found this woman. As for the painting, it hides the location of the cultural relics. But how it was decrypted, I don't know."
"Is there anything else?"
Liu Xiangnan crossed his arms and said, "You've been traveling all these years, and you've let Cheng Jie seduce men in various ways. You must know a lot of gossip, right?"
"Don't go too far..."
The kid looked wary: "If you ask too many questions, it will cost you money!"
"Spend money?"
Liu Xiangnan raised his hands and clenched his fists until they crackled.
The little ghost shrugged his head in fear, "You, what do you want to do?"
"What do I want to do, huh..."
Liu Xiangnan walked forward and whispered something to the little ghost.
"Finally done!"
After everything was arranged, Liu Xiangnan lay on the bed and rubbed his legs tiredly.
I was busy from morning to night that day and had no time to relax.
When Lu Xiangbei saw her rubbing her legs, he reached out and rubbed them for her as well.
"Have a good rest. From today on, our lives may not be so peaceful."
Liu Xiangnan understood what he meant.
"Just hiding isn't going to cut it. If they don't take action for a long time, we'll have to take the initiative. I've already figured it out. I'll use the excuse of getting a driver's license to lure them in."
In this way, you can learn to drive while catching the person behind the scenes, getting the best of both worlds.
Lu Xiangbei shook his head helplessly.
"You really don't care about your own safety."
Liu Xiangnan didn't care: "Because I know, I have you! If I'm in danger, you will definitely come to save me, right?"
"Um."
Lu Xiangbei nodded.
…
Time goes back five hours.
The auction just ended.
At the auction, an auctioneer sent a message after seeing Cheng Jie leaving with the wooden fish.
It says: The wooden fish is fake.
The young man who received the message on the other end put out the cigar in his mouth.
He deleted the message, stood up, and said to the subordinate sitting next to him: "The plan is cancelled."
"yes."
After his subordinates left, the man slowly stood up and walked to the French window.
Looking at the car heading north driving away, there was a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Yes, he does have some wisdom. It's a pity that he's still no match for me."
Asking Cheng Jie to buy the wooden fish may seem like a stupid move, but it is actually a smart move as it allows the head of the family to inspect it without having to take it to Kyoto.
Since it was something used by Jiang Mingyue, the wooden fish must have retained the aura of Taoism.
Once Cheng Jie touched it, even though it was wrapped in red cloth, it would still feel a little strange.
However, from the time Cheng Jie received it to the time she went to introduce the portrait of Yuanshi Tianzun, none of his people noticed anything unusual about Cheng Jie. It can almost be concluded that Lu Xiangbei also took out a fake to entertain them.
The two of them were playing fake games against each other. They seemed to have lost 55 million and a wave of people, but in fact, they lost nothing.
Because the people behind the charity are...?
