Chapter 1231 Lend Me Your Merit (14)
"I was quite busy before, so I only joined an oil painting club and learned some oil painting knowledge." Cui Hongyu said gently. He had learned about Qiu Xiaoyi's major in advance and knew what to say to arouse her interest, so he talked about the oil painting club he had joined without hesitation.
Sure enough, when Qiu Xiaoyi heard him say that, his eyes lit up immediately: "Senior Cui, are you also interested in oil painting? What a coincidence, this is my major!"
"No wonder my junior sister is so artistic. My major is science and engineering, but I envy people with artistic talent, so I joined the oil painting club to add a little artistic temperament to myself..." It was easy for Cui Hongyu to please a young and innocent girl. He quickly used oil painting as an excuse to get familiar with Qiu Xiaoyi and slowly invaded her life...
Because Li Weirong was injured while trying to capture evil ghosts, she was blamed by Chen Fenfang. She was told that she was a rich lady and insisted on being a Taoist priest, which made her neither human nor ghost and brought trouble upon herself. She was advised not to do such things again in the future.
But how could Li Weirong agree? She had seen the power of the mysterious arts and mastered its power. How could she bear to give it up? Moreover, Cui Hongyu was still waiting for her to save him. How could she abandon him at this time? Therefore, she rejected Chen Fenfang's request.
"Why are you so stubborn?!" Chen Fenfang was very disappointed. "You are no longer a little Taoist priest living in a Taoist temple, but the daughter of the Li family. Everything in the Li family will belong to you. You just need to enjoy life, listen to your father, find an ambitious husband or learn to manage a company from your father... Which of these prospects is better than becoming a Taoist priest?!"
"Mom, stop talking. Dad is still so young. Why does he need my help in managing the company? Besides, I'm not interested in the company. Please don't interfere in my affairs, okay?" Li Weirong said impatiently. She returned to her parents when she was a teenager. It was impossible for her to have any deep feelings for her parents. Cui Hongyu's position in her heart was stronger than her parents, otherwise she would not have gone around performing rituals for people to earn merits to help Cui Hongyu.
"If I don't interfere with you, you will lose your life! Look at how dangerous you are this time. If it weren't for the master and apprentice who came by and saved you, would you still be alive here arguing with me?" Chen Fenfang said angrily. She has been Li Songbai's mistress for so many years. Isn't it for the glory and wealth in the second half of her life? And her daughter Li Weirong is her guarantee. How could she not value her after she lost and got her back?
"What are you two arguing about? I'm already overwhelmed by so many annoying things at the company! I finally get home, and I have to listen to you two arguing! What is the reason you have to argue so much that I can't even have peace when I return home?!" At this time, Li Songbai came back from get off work at the company. As soon as he entered the door, he heard them arguing and couldn't help but yelling in annoyance.
Li Weirong and Chen Fenfang immediately shut up. Li Fenfang hurried over to help Li Songbai carry his briefcase, and asked him softly, "Husband, have you encountered any troubles in the company? It's all because those people below are useless and can't help you share your worries... But no matter what difficulties there are, I believe that husband will be able to solve them in the end..."
As a mistress who successfully rose to power, Chen Fenfang certainly knew best how to please a man. As expected, she calmed Li Songbai's anger with just a few words.
After hearing her flattering words, Li Songbai felt that his body and mind, which had been exhausted from working in the company, were relaxed. He snorted and said, "Those parasites in the company! Do you think that after Irene took away so many shares from me, they can just stand on my head and mess around? Humph! That's wishful thinking! I don't believe that I can't control the company without Irene's support!"
When Chen Fenfang heard this, her face froze, because her extramarital affair with Li Songbai was discovered by Irene, who ruthlessly took away a large part of Li Songbai's property, including the company's shares. This greatly reduced Li Songbai's prestige in the company, especially after Irene sold that part of the shares to Li Songbai's arch-enemy, it became increasingly difficult for Li Songbai to control the company.
Chen Fenfang forced a smile and said, "Speaking of which, Sister Ailin is too heartless. After all, you are Shi Chu's father. How could she be so cruel as to sell the shares to your enemy and make it so difficult for you to work in your own company?"
"Hmph! She is so stingy and narrow-minded. She only cares about her love affairs and has no sense of the overall situation. She has sold all her shares. Let's see what she will leave for her daughter in the future!" Li Songbai felt so angry when he thought of his ex-wife's move, but he could do nothing about it and could only curse her behind her back.
Li Weirong couldn't help shaking her head as she listened to the two of them gradually jumping from discussing the difficult situation of the company to criticizing the cruel behavior of Li Shichu's mother. Although she was jealous of everything Li Shichu had, it didn't mean that she could tolerate her biological father and mother having an extramarital affair.
As their illegitimate daughter, Li Weirong had thought more than once, if she was not an illegitimate daughter, but a legitimate daughter, would her merits and luck in this life be stronger? Then she would not have to work so hard now, or even risk her life to gain merits... Unfortunately, people cannot choose their parents.
She did not continue listening, but returned to her room and began to meditate. The wounds on her body that were torn by the evil spirits had not yet healed, and she needed to force out the negative energy bit by bit.
When practicing, she used her spiritual power to force out the negative energy in her body. This process was full of pain. Every time she practiced, her clothes would be soaked with sweat.
At this time, she always couldn't help but think of the master and disciple who saved her. If those two were willing to help her get rid of the evil spirit, then why would she need to work so hard on her own bit by bit?
Li Weirong didn't know that she didn't need to suffer so much. It was just that her mother Chen Fenfang looked down on others. She gave the master and apprentice a sum of money, thinking that she had repaid their kindness in saving her daughter's life. She also ridiculed them without any hesitation and drove them away.
If Chen Fenfang knew the inside story, would she be so upset that she would vomit blood? She herself pushed away the noble person who could help her daughter. In the original world, Li Weirong actually met this master and apprentice, but at that time she had obtained the "Chaos Yishu" and her cultivation was much stronger than it is now. Moreover, when she met that master and apprentice, it was just the opposite. She saved them, instead of them saving her like in this life.
