No one spoke for a moment.
Ning's father and mother were exposed by Chen Ye and dared not look at Ning Shihua.
As for Mr. Shi and his agent, they were in shock.
In order to force your daughter to get married early, you let her body fester?
Did they think that if they made Ning Shihua ugly, she would quit the entertainment industry and go back to celebrate her birthday and get married?
Ning Shihua stared blankly at her parents, and after a long moment, she whispered, "Are you really the ones who harmed us?"
She stretched out her arm, revealing her rotting skin to her parents.
If it was really her parents who harmed her...how could they bear to do that?
She is their biological daughter!
The couple had originally lowered their heads to avoid Ning Shihua's gaze, but when they saw Ning Shihua's arm, their eyes widened in surprise.
"You...what's wrong with you?" Ning's mother immediately ran over and grabbed her hand.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Shi and the agent were a little confused. They didn't know whether Ning's mother was pretending to be kind or she really didn't know that Ning Shihua's injuries were caused by them.
Shen Ye was not surprised at all and said, "She really didn't know. She thought she was giving her daughter chicken soup."
Mr. Shi looked puzzled.
The agent suddenly remembered that what Ning's mother gave Ning Shihua last night was chicken soup.
But when he took a look at it, he found nothing unusual and it even smelled delicious.
And... even if Ning's father and mother wanted Ning Shihua to go back, they couldn't poison Ning Shihua's chicken soup, right?
Chen Ye stared at Ning's mother: "Tell me yourself, what did you put in your daughter's chicken soup yesterday?"
Mother Ning looked at Ning Shihua's arm at a loss. After a long moment, she whispered, "I... I just added some brewed tea..."
Mr. Shi and his agent both frowned.
Mixing tea and chicken soup together won’t rot your skin!
Chen Ye was annoyed by Ning's mother's hesitation and said directly, "She must have gotten a piece of talisman paper and a small bag of tea leaves from somewhere. They probably told her to mix the talisman paper and tea leaves together and give it to her daughter to drink. Her daughter would be obedient and go back to marry and have children. But if she gave Ning Shihua the talisman paper and tea leaves alone, Ning Shihua would definitely notice. So she poured it directly into the chicken soup and mixed it with the soup."
With every word he said, Ning's mother's face turned paler, and it was obvious that he was right about everything he said.
Ning Shihua's eyes widened and tears fell down.
So, it was really her parents who harmed her...
The agent was furious: "Auntie, are you crazy? You actually let Shi Hua drink the magic water?! It's so dirty, and we don't even know if it contains bacteria! You're worried that your daughter won't get sick, right?"
Even Master Shen would ask people to wear the talisman paper on their body or put it under the pillow, and it is impossible for people to drink it!
The agent was born in a big city and has never seen such confused parents!
Ning's father and mother weren't that vicious, but they had truly harmed Ning Shihua...
The agent was so angry that he paced back and forth in the ward, not knowing where to vent his anger.
Mr. Shi was also very angry.
Ning Shihua is now the top star of Banana Entertainment. If something happens to her or she retires, Banana Entertainment will lose another important member.
And the most incredible thing is that Ning Shihua became like this because her parents wanted her to go home, get married and have children... It's even weirder than the annual stupid news.
Ning's mother blushed and said, "Many people in our village drink talisman water..."
Mr. Shi was stunned, and suddenly remembered that when he was very young, there were indeed many examples of people using talismans and water to cure diseases in his hometown.
But that was many years ago. Is it still the same now?
As if to prove what Ning's mother said, Ning's father also spoke up, "Last time, your uncle's child had a high fever and went to the hospital several times but couldn't get better. But after drinking the talisman water, the fever went away... This is the legacy of the older generation, so we can still believe it."
…Giving a child talisman water to drink?!
Is this crazy!
The agent really didn't know what to say. Ning's parents were teachers, even if they were teachers in a small town, but they couldn't be so ignorant, right?
"Then you two look at Shi Hua's current appearance. Do you think that talisman water is a good thing?" the agent asked while suppressing his anger.
Mother Ning muttered, "I, I don't know what happened... Fairy said it was okay..."
Chen Ye stared at Ning's mother's face for a moment, then suddenly said, "At first I thought that Ning Yinghou was under a spell, but now it seems she was poisoned. The fairy lady put poison in the talisman and used magic to cover it up, so the doctor didn't detect it."
"Poisoned?" Ning's mother raised her voice. "Impossible! That fairy lady is our relative, how could she possibly harm Shi Hua? Every Spring Festival when she returns home, Shi Hua would give her several thousand in red envelopes!"
In fact, after Ning Shihua became famous, she would give big red envelopes to her fellow villagers every year when she returned home. The fairy lady was a relative of the Ning family, and she gave even more, sometimes several thousand, and occasionally tens of thousands.
In fact, Ning Shihua didn't want to give it to them. After all, those relatives had no contact with the family before.
But the parents wanted to save face and thought it was great that their daughter had a star, and since her daughter also made a lot of money, they wanted to show off in front of relatives, friends and neighbors.
Once it was given, it never stopped.
I remember that when Ning Shihua returned home the following year, she didn't give any red envelopes, so her relatives and friends were very upset and mocked her for making a lot of money but forgetting her fellow villagers.
Over the years, those relatives often complained to Ning Shihua in front of her parents, saying that it was shameful for Ning Shihua to be an old maid and not get married. This was also one of the important reasons why Ning Shihua's parents were anxious to get her married. We all live in a society based on personal relationships, and sometimes gossip can really drive people crazy.
Chen Ye sneered, "That fairy lady is deliberately harming your daughter. Her son and daughter are both uneducated and work in factories outside, right? Your daughter earns a lot and is a big star, it would be strange if she is not jealous. She just doesn't want your daughter to have a good life! You are stupid, not only did you get fooled, but you also harmed Ning Shihua!"
Upon hearing this, Ning's father and mother's faces turned pale and blue.
Ning's mother suddenly sobbed and cried: "I...I just want Shi Hua to get married!"
"But I said, I don't want to get married now." Ning Shihua also cried.
The agent stepped forward, hugged Ning Shihua's shoulders, and silently comforted her.
Ning's mother wiped her tears and said, "But you're already 38 years old. If you don't get married, your father and I will be gossiped about every day back home... And your uncles and aunts all say that the Ning family only has an old girl like you who hasn't become a nun yet, and they can't afford to lose that person!"
Chen Ye had always been very calm, like a bystander. Although he sympathized with Ning Shihua's experience, this was, after all, a dispute over ideas between Ning Shihua and her parents, and he had no intention of intervening at all.
But... after hearing what Ning's mother said, he was completely stunned.
Is it shameful not to get married when you are older?
What the hell is this?
He couldn't help but think of his original world, where there were too many bachelors... Finding a partner is a very difficult thing. Some people are still single even after thousands or even tens of thousands of years!
Coming here and meeting Ye Ze, he felt extremely lucky and that he had almost used up all his luck.
But it turns out that people in this world think it's shameful not to get married?
Shen Ye couldn’t understand.
After all, there was no one like this around him. It was the first time he heard such remarks, and he felt that all his three views had been shattered.
Mr. Shi and his agent also looked unhappy.
Ning Shihua is an international film queen with many fans abroad, but it turns out that she is a disgrace among her relatives and friends in her hometown.
This is... too funny...
Ning's mother was still crying: "You can still act after getting married and having children! What's the point of making so much money if you don't have a family and descendants? In life, enough money is enough, but children are your continuation, family is your backing, and there will be someone to take care of you when you are old... You... Why don't you want to get married..."
In fact, Ning's mother also felt very aggrieved. Wasn't she just afraid that her daughter would have no one to rely on in the future?
What's the point of making so much money? The woman has worked so hard on her own, and she doesn't want her daughter to continue to work so hard.
She remembered that when her daughter first entered the entertainment industry, she suffered all kinds of bullying, had coffee and milk tea splashed on her, filmed for two days and two nights without sleep, fell off a horse and was hospitalized, and called crying in the middle of the night... As parents, of course they felt heartbroken.
"Your father and I just hope you can be safe." Ning's mother sat in a chair, sobbing uncontrollably. "This time you had an accident while hanging on the wire. Your father and I felt it was too dangerous. We really hope you can quit the entertainment industry."
Originally, they planned to wait for Ning Shihua to return home for the New Year to discuss marriage, and then ask the fairy for some talismans to bring Ning Shihua good luck in love.
But this time Ning Shihua was injured, and they happened to come to Haicheng to take care of Ning Shihua, so they moved the plan forward.
This was also the reason why Chen Ye did not realize that Ning Shihua was in trouble at the beginning, because Ning's father and mother decided to come to Haicheng at the last minute and asked the fairy for the talisman paper at the last minute.
The past is unchangeable, and Shen Ye's predictions are accurate. But the future changes based on each person's actions. Shen Ye can only glimpse a person's overall personality, but cannot accurately predict every change.
"Come home with us, go home and find the fairy, she will cure you..." Ning's mother was still unwilling to give up, and said to Ning Shihua crying.
Ning Shihua took a deep breath, but didn't know what to say.
She had indeed suffered a lot back then, and indeed she had cried to her parents in the middle of the night, but she had suffered willingly! And now that she was successful, she still didn't want to get involved in a relationship. Was that wrong?
"I'm not going back." Ning Shihua shook his head.
She has different ideas from her parents, and she would definitely not get married just because her family feels embarrassed.
Ning's mother cried even harder: "You...why are you so selfish and only care about yourself..."
Ning's father was holding his head and sighing, with the same attitude as Ning's mother.
The agent was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
Parents like them still think Ning Shihua is selfish?
This is the thief crying "stop thief"!
"Who's selfish?" Chen Ye couldn't help but retort, "Aren't you just dissatisfied that Ning Shihua hasn't married yet and is embarrassing you? Is your face more important, or is your daughter's happiness and thoughts more important? You insist on forcing her to marry someone she doesn't like and do things she doesn't like. Aren't you selfish?"
This is such a great rebuttal!
If it wasn’t for the wrong timing, the agent would have wanted to applaud Shen Ye.
Ning's father and mother both looked very unhappy. They did not argue with Shen Ye, but their attitude was very clear. They hoped that Ning Shihua could take the opportunity to quit the circle and go back to their hometown with them, receive treatment from the fairy lady, and go on a blind date and get married.
The atmosphere became tense.
Somehow, the agent suddenly remembered the trending search he saw on Weibo yesterday and asked about the girls’ experiences of being forced into marriage.
A few days ago, a girl was killed by her boyfriend. Netizens were very concerned about the news. A marketing account talked about the experience of being forced to get married by parents and asked netizens to write about it.
There are many victims in the comments, and of course some are relatives' experiences. All in all, it's very terrifying.
The agent remembers two most clearly.
One is a rural area in a developed area. The families are very rich, but the parents do not allow their daughters to go to school since childhood and let them get married early.
In another relatively underdeveloped region, parents would lock their daughters in a room with their blind date overnight to force them to marry, as they would lose their virginity and be forced to marry the man.
When she finished watching it, her three views were completely destroyed!
In this day and age, are there still such ignorant parents?
But there are tens of thousands of comments, and everyone is saying and emphasizing that this is indeed the case.
This is the current situation.
In more remote areas, girls may even be killed at birth, or have to work early to earn money to support their younger brothers' education.
Because of that Weibo post, the agent was in seclusion for an entire night.
But she had forgotten it when she woke up this morning. After all, it was a stranger's story and she didn't have that much time to pay attention to it.
But now, the same thing is happening to the artists she manages!
You should know that Ning Shihua is a well-known international film queen, and her parents are teachers, but they are also experiencing forced marriage.
Ning Shihua is in a very miserable state now. Her skin is ulcerated all over her body. She is neither human nor ghost.
And all this was caused by her parents... Who would believe it if she told them?
And now many boys are also being forced to get married...as if they are inferior if they don't get married.
Is it sad?
It's really sad.
But what can we do?
The agent thought of himself.
She was almost 40, divorced, and raising a child. She was from Haicheng, and her parents were generally open-minded, but some gossipers complained that she was divorced at her age and had been blinded by the glamorous world of the entertainment industry. And because she was a bit overweight, some relatives even told her to lose weight right in front of her, saying that since she was a second marriage, had a child, and was so overweight, no man would want her. In short, they said all sorts of nasty things.
But the money she earned was more than enough to support herself and her children. Ning Shihua also earned more than all her relatives combined...
Ning Shihua was crying at first, but when she saw her parents' firm attitude, she calmed down.
"Mom and Dad, I won't go back, and I don't want to get married for the time being. You'd better think it over as soon as possible." She bit her lip and said softly but firmly.
The agent squeezed her hand firmly and quietly encouraged her.
Ning's father and mother looked at each other, dissatisfaction written on their faces.
"We won't force you to get married, but you're injured this time and you have to go back to the fairy for treatment... You should come home with us to recuperate during this time." Father Ning thought for a while and made a concession.
Chen Ye exposed him without hesitation: "You are thinking of tricking her back first and then locking her up, right?"
Father Ning's eyes looked a little unnatural: "How is it possible... why are we locking her up..."
But his attitude said it all, it was obvious that Master Shen was right.
The agent said directly: "No, Shi Hua can't go back."
Mr. Shi also said at this time: "I am Ning Shihua's boss. She signed a 20-year contract with the company. If she breaks the contract, she will have to pay hundreds of millions. Moreover, she is still filming and has many endorsements and activities. If she turns them all down, the loss will be hundreds of millions. You can take her away, but you must pay the money first! More than a billion in total. If you pay, you can take her away!"
Of course, these words were meant to scare Ning's father and mother.
Ning Shihua joined the company at the same time as Xu Ce. She also had a small stake in the company and the contract she signed was very loose. How could she possibly have to pay so much in compensation?
But Ning's father and mother don't know about it.
They just think that the company will definitely exploit its employees, and if the contract states more than ten billion, then they can only comply.
But more than a billion is an astronomical figure for them.
Although Ning Shihua earned a lot and gave a lot of money to her family, she kept most of the money she earned for herself over the years, and she often invested it, so her parents didn't know how much money she actually had.
In their opinion, if they had to pay more than a billion in compensation, they would have to pay out all the money their daughter had worked so hard to earn throughout her life, and they might even end up in debt...
Thinking of this, Ning's father and mother's faces turned pale.
"I...we didn't ask her to terminate the contract..." Ning's mother muttered.
Ning Shihua shook her head. She really didn't want to communicate with her parents today, otherwise she was afraid that she would be angry to death.
Do her parents have bad intentions? No, they don't, but they are indeed selfish.
For the sake of so-called face, she was forced to get married, and even her skin was ulcerated in order to make her quit the entertainment industry and get married. She could not accept this in any way.
She whispered, "Mom and Dad, you should go back to the hotel and rest first."
Ning's mother was also a little upset. She and her husband were obviously their daughter's biological parents, but everyone in the room gave them a cold shoulder, as if they were outsiders.
"Your injury hasn't healed yet, and you drank the talisman water. I'll stay and take care of you." Ning's mother said, holding back her anger.
Shen Ye was quiet for a long time, he was mainly thinking about getting married.
Although he was in a hurry to get married, if Xu Sisi had not met Xu Ce and remained single for the rest of her life, he would not have forced Xu Sisi to get married.
"They're a bit stupid." Shen Ye whispered in Ye Ze's ear about Ning's father and mother.
Ye Ze touched his head and said nothing.
Shen Ye continued, “Fortunately, Ning Shihua is capable enough to disobey her parents.”
Ye Ze pondered for a few seconds and said, "What if her parents threaten to commit suicide?"
Chen Ye's eyes widened: "...Are they that stupid?"
Ye Ze: “…”
The two of them were so loud that everyone in the room heard them.
The word "idiot" made Ning's father and mother's expressions become stiff.
Shen Ye ignored them.
His respect is given to those who deserve it. He feels that parents like this are not worthy of him!
The agent felt relieved when he heard Chen Ye calling Ning's father and mother idiots, but he also felt helpless.
There are really parents who threaten their children with death.
I remember years ago, a classmate of hers fell in love with a girl. When her family found out, her mother threatened to commit suicide to force her to get married. Within three months, her classmate got married and pregnant, and later had two children. During this time, her classmate's husband repeatedly cheated on her, mocked her, and even abused her...
While the agent was thinking, Shen Ye had already turned to Ning Shihua's parents and said, "I am a Taoist priest, much more powerful than the fairy lady in your hometown. You want to use the fairy lady's treatment as an excuse to trick Ning Shihua back, but I won't let you succeed!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't care about the expressions of Ning's parents. He walked directly to Ning Shihua and said, "Stretch out your arms."
Ning Shihua did as he was told immediately.
Chen Ye pinched his fingers and cast a spell, and the skin on Ning Shihua's arm recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye. As for the skin on Ning Shihua's body, no one could see it, but Chen Ye also used a spell, so it would probably recover as before.
"The talisman paper was poisonous, but I've already cured it." Chen Ye clapped his hands, "You guys can handle the rest by yourselves."
He still wanted to go eat hotpot with Ye Ze and didn't want to waste any more time here.
Ning Shihua said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Shen. I will transfer the reward to your WeChat."
Shen Ye nodded, held hands with Ye Ze, and prepared to leave.
When passing by Ning's father and mother, he stopped and looked back at Ning Shihua: "You must not compromise, otherwise I will look down on you."
Ning Shihua was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Well, I won't."
There were still tears in her eyes, but she smiled beautifully and her eyes were determined.
Chen Ye was very satisfied. After thinking for a while, he wrote a talisman on each of Ning's parents and said, "Don't worry, your parents won't die. With my talisman, they can survive even if they are stabbed in the heart with a knife."
Ning's father and mother: "..."
They had just witnessed with their own eyes that Shen Ye cured their daughter's skin in just a few seconds, and naturally realized that Shen Ye was really capable.
Now that Chen Ye had cast talismans on them, how could they dare to say a word?
Chen Ye glanced at them and snorted coldly: "I tell you, a true Taoist priest only helps people, not harms them. There is definitely something wrong with that fairy lady in your hometown. When I have time one day, I will go and deal with her!"
At this point, he suddenly remembered something and asked Ning Shihua, "Is your hometown close to the Qilian Mountains?"
Ning Shihua was startled for a moment, then nodded: "We are at the foot of the mountain, but the Qilian Mountains are very long, I don't know which section you are talking about."
Shen Ye tilted his head and looked at Ye Ze: "Uncle, what is the name of the place we are going to?"
"Yutan City." Ye Ze said.
Ning Shihua: "That's the next city, not far from my home!"
Chen Ye smiled: "I plan to go to Yutan during the summer vacation, and then I will stop by your house to deal with that fairy lady."
When these words came out, Ning's father and mother didn't know how to react.
Of course, they were also angry at the Fairy for harming Ning Shihua, but they were angry because the Fairy did not make it clear in advance... In fact, if they had not met Chen Ye, they might have used the Fairy's talisman paper to trick Ning Shihua back... So in their hearts, they actually still agreed with the Fairy and did not think that the Fairy was vicious.
Besides, we are all from the same village. If the fairy lady suffers because of them, they will feel very guilty...
Seeing the expressions of Ning's father and mother, Chen Ye smiled coldly: "You are afraid of bringing trouble to the fairy lady, but why aren't you afraid that your daughter will be forced to death by you?"
What kind of foolish parents would value the life of an outsider more than their daughter's life?
That fairy lady is just jealous of Ning Shihua, but Ning's father and mother don't even believe it!
horrible!
Shen Ye didn’t want to say another word and pulled Ye Ze out of the ward.
Mr. Shi thought that he was also an outsider, so he followed him out.
However, the agent was afraid that Ning Shihua would be bullied, so he decided to stay and take care of Ning Shihua.
When Shen Ye saw Mr. Shi coming up, he grumbled dissatisfiedly: "I'm on a date with my man, don't disturb us."
Mr. Shi: "..." I'll go home to find my wife too...
