After being forced into marriage, the metaphysical master became the darling of the richest family.

Chapter 147

"This compass has a magic array left by my ancestor, specifically designed to suppress evil spirits. Do you dare to touch it?"

The black-bearded Taoist priest spoke with great conviction, but his eyes were fixed on the golden bell hanging on An Jiuxi's wrist. His greedy desire turned into a wisp of black smoke and drifted toward An Jiuxi's storage bag.

Her expression changed slightly, she took a barely perceptible step back, and gently waved her hand behind her back.

Dispel that aura.

He probed his divine sense into the storage bag and, sure enough, it was the sandalwood comb that was causing trouble!

An Jiuxi's step back sparked a lot of speculation among the Chen family members.

Chen Chuanheng, who had been standing silently to the side for a long time, noticed her actions and immediately took the compass from the black-bearded Taoist priest and threw it at the woman!

"You wicked and twisted charlatan, release my sister right now!"

Jin Yize was startled and instinctively reached out to block it.

The compass stopped abruptly in front of An Jiuxi, not moving forward another step!

"Phew, I was scared to death."

Jin Yu patted his chest and let out a long breath.

"I'm fine." An Jiuxi turned her head and smiled at Jin Yize, but when she turned back to look at the Chen family, her eyes were filled with only indifference and disgust.

Seeing her easily take the compass in her hand, the black-bearded Taoist priest exclaimed in surprise and was about to rush forward to snatch it.

"My compass!"

An Jiuxi wouldn't give him time to cause trouble. She threw a freezing talisman, stopping him in his tracks!

She held the compass, brushed past the black-bearded man, and came to Chen Chuanheng.

The smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Mr. Chen, do you still remember what you did the day your sister had the car accident?"

The woman's question made Chen Chuanheng's breathing quicken. He glanced around, but dared not meet An Jiuxi's eyes, as if afraid that what he was hiding in his heart would be seen through.

Chen's mother's eyes flickered, and she stepped forward to push An Jiuxi away.

Jin Yu quickly grabbed him, preventing him from moving an inch. "Mrs. Chen, children have things to say to each other. Let them explain first. Otherwise, people might think you care more about your son and don't care about your daughter."

These words made Chen's mother, who was still struggling, immediately stop what she was doing and instinctively look at her husband.

When she met her husband's scrutinizing gaze, she guiltily looked away.

A sense of unease crept into Mr. Chen's heart, and his gaze shifted to his son. "Xiao Heng, were you there that day?"

Chen Chuanheng wanted to deny it, but he didn't have a chance to say it.

An Jiuxi spoke before him, "Yes, not only were you present, but you probably did something too, right?"

Mr. Chen frowned, looking at the young girl in front of him with suspicion. "What do you mean by that? What can my son do?"

An Jiuxi blinked and took two steps back. "Does Mr. Chen intend to speak himself, or should I do it?"

Chen Chuanheng subconsciously looked at his father, and when he saw the suspicious look on the man's face, the resentment in his heart finally burst out, and he questioned, "Yes, so what if I had someone scheme against my sister? Isn't it because you are biased and want to give the company shares to my sister but not to me, your son!"

"All I wanted was for her to get sick so you would realize my importance and give me the shares. What did I do wrong?"
