Chapter 197: Preventing Disaster
Ye Jiayou laughed angrily: "Grandpa, you are so scared, why do you still want to go next time!"
Mr. Ye insisted, “It’s a little dangerous, but there are a lot of precious herbs in that mountain. It would be great if we could mine them.”
But Shen Wan refused: "I'm not going, and you don't have to go either."
"Why?" Mr. Ye was anxious, "I can give you money!"
"This is not a question of money, but as outsiders, we should not go into such deep mountains and forests to disturb them."
Shen Wan explained: "The reason why you are possessed by evil spirits and cannot wake up is because they are a punishment for you."
"Fortunately, I have left your life for you. With my amulet, you can leave the mountains safely."
Ye Jiayou responded quickly, "I understand. Grandpa became like this because he is an outsider who invaded their territory. They are unhappy. If I go there again next time, maybe they will really stay there?"
Chen Wan nodded: "That's right. There are many unopened primeval forests in the country, and the dangers inside are beyond our imagination."
"Not only mountain ghosts, but also spirits and monsters, all kinds of things you can't imagine."
Elder Ye sighed: "That's such a pity. There are abundant medicinal materials inside, and there is no pollution. The age is also high..."
Shen Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Wait for a chance in the future."
Ye Lao's eyes sparkled: "Master Shen, I'm waiting for your good news!"
When Shen Wan left, Ye Jiayou insisted on stuffing a big red envelope into her pocket.
Chen Wan didn't answer, but told him earnestly, "Take good care of Mr. Ye, and beware of the villain's frame-up."
When she called him a villain, her eyes turned to Ye Zhenhai who was teasing the young nurse in the corridor.
Ye Jiayou seemed to understand, "I know my uncle doesn't like me, but we are family after all, he won't hurt me, right?"
Shen Wan held his forehead with his hand. This naive child, no wonder he was deceived by Ye Zhenhai in his previous life and became homeless and wandering on the streets.
She simply turned back and told Mr. Ye.
"Ye Zhenhai lost money in gambling. Old Ye, you must hold on to your purse to avoid losing money. Also, he has always wanted to attack your grandson, but he has no chance. I believe you know what to do. So, goodbye."
Shen Wan said and left.
The grandfather and grandson were left staring at each other in bewilderment.
"Your uncle gambled again while I was away from home?" Old Ye was angry.
Ye Jiayou said blankly: "I don't know, I have no right to interfere in my uncle's affairs."
"This prodigal son! Half a year ago he went to the ancestral temple and knelt down and swore that he would never gamble again. It's only been a short time and he's already gambling again!"
Old Master Ye said angrily, "If only your father were still alive, I would feel relieved to leave the Ye family to him."
My grandson is not yet able to take charge on his own.
The Ye family’s property cannot be lost in the hands of the second son.
Rather than letting him waste it, it is better to donate some of it so that he won’t be coveting these properties every day.
…
Jiangcheng, Shen family.
Shen Changfeng dragged his tired body back home and saw the old man sitting in the living room with a serious face.
He tried to smile and walked over, "Grandpa, why don't you rest so late?"
Shen Huaian said distressedly: "Grandson, you have been busy with attracting investment recently, right? How is it going? Have you filled the funding gap?"
Shen Changfeng shook his head helplessly, "No."
"Before, partners begged to come to us, but now when I go to them, they avoid me one by one."
"I suspect it has something to do with Shen Wan. I don't know what she did to make those rich men favor her."
"Now it is our Shen Group that has become the rat crossing the street."
Shen Changfeng accused with a look of hatred.
"That's because you were so bad to Sister Wanwan, and you're getting your comeuppance~"
Shen Jiaojiao’s complaints came from the high-ceilinged second floor.
Shen Changfeng's face darkened, "Sixth sister, I haven't settled the score with you for your mindless defense of Shen Wan last time!"
"The adults are talking here, and you, a child, shouldn't interrupt."
Shen Jiaojiao curled her lips, "Brother, I'm not wrong. If we can accept Sister Wanwan with our heart..."
"Shut up!" Shen Changfeng said angrily, "Go back to your room!"
"Hmph! Just wait for the day you'll regret it!" Shen Jiaojiao left angrily.
Shen Huaian said, "Grandson, your sixth sister is right."
Shen Changfeng was stunned, "Grandpa, you are also standing on Shen Wan's side with Sixth Sister."
"Grandpa is not on Shen Wan's side, but Shen Wan is of great use to our family." Shen Huaian said earnestly: "Grandpa knows that you all don't like her, but she has to stay in our house."
Shen Changfeng was puzzled: "Why?"
"Chen Wan is just a stranger who is related to us by blood. How can someone like her be worthy of being my sister?"
“Grandpa, I really don’t want to accept her.”
Shen Huaian lowered his voice and said, "Grandpa, I once went to have my fortune told. The expert said that our Shen family will have a disaster. Only by using Shen Wan to ward off the disaster can we turn the disaster into a blessing."
Shen Changfeng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Grandpa, you are being superstitious."
"It's not feudal superstition." Shen Huaian said seriously: "Do you know why I became rich and became the richest man in Jiangcheng?"
"Grandpa, you started from scratch..."
"It's true that I started from scratch, but without the guidance of an expert, how could I have gone from a poor boy to the richest man?"
At this point, Shen Huaian had to reveal some secrets.
"In order to make a fortune, your grandfather found a master. It was under the guidance of this master that I successfully earned my first pot of gold. It was also under the guidance of the master that everything I did went smoothly and I became rich all the way."
"But people can't always be successful. In order to get rich, I used some means that damaged my virtue."
"That's why disaster will happen to our Shen family's descendants."
“And Shen Wan is the noble person who can protect the Shen family from disaster.”
Shen Changfeng was stunned when he heard this, but he reacted quickly.
"So grandpa took Shen Wan home, not because she is the blood of the Shen family, but because she can protect the Shen family from disaster?"
Shen Huaian nodded: "Yes, that's why I asked you to learn to accept her and not drive her out of the house."
"Prevent disaster..."
When he heard these two words, Shen Changfeng's heart skipped a beat.
To be honest, I was shocked.
There's an indescribable feeling in my heart.
He always thought that Shen Wan was vain and insisted on following his grandfather back to the Shen family to enjoy a good life.
Unexpectedly, the truth of the matter was that her grandfather wanted her to come back to ward off disaster.
Shen Changfeng felt a pang in his heart, and subconsciously asked: "If she protects her family from disaster, what will happen to her?"
Shen Huai'an said nonchalantly: "Things should be put to good use. The same is true for people. Once her value is used up, she will be useless."
“Grandpa, does Shen Wan know?”
"I don't know. How could she know about this? Only your father, your aunt, and the two of us know about it. Your brothers and sisters don't know about it."
