A dowry of one billion, and I'll marry him!
Chapter 94 She's stirring up trouble.
He had his doubts about these things and had even consulted experts, but no one could see anything wrong with them.
Unexpectedly, Shi Yanxia immediately noticed the problem and knew there was something in the pool.
"I also thought it was because I'm getting old and my abilities aren't what they used to be. Even when Master Huo came to see me before, he didn't find anything wrong," the old man said.
Shi Yanxia was somewhat surprised to hear him mention Master Huo.
"Is that the Master Huo that the Shen family paid a high price to hire a couple of days ago?" Shi Yanxia asked in a low voice.
The old man nodded slightly.
"It's him. He's the one who looks at the feng shui of most of the wealthy families in the capital. He can usually solve the problems, so he has a good relationship with them."
"I heard a few days ago that the Shen family was having some bad luck, and they've been trying to get Master Huo to take a look through their connections. But I heard that the Shen family and Master Huo have fallen out, and Master Huo even threatened to stop doing feng shui for the Shen family," the old man said.
These things are no secret; they've been circulating within the industry for a long time.
Many people ridiculed the Shen family for being short-sighted, saying they had to offend a feng shui master of all people, and deserved their misfortune.
“If you trust me, don’t let Master Huo step into the old house again. If he really has great abilities, how could he not even find the clothes of the dead in this pool with such heavy yin energy?”
"Or perhaps he discovered it but simply didn't say anything. After all, this thing can't affect the Zhan family's fortune. But you, sir, have been here for many years and are getting old. Your energy isn't as good as that of young people, so you'll definitely be affected."
“If this continues for a long time, your health will naturally deteriorate,” Shi Yanxia said.
The old man listened and felt a wave of fear wash over him.
Zhan Jinglin clenched his fist tightly. Shi Yanxia's words were like nails, piercing his heart. He never expected that someone would harm the old man like this.
"Thank you," Zhan Jinglin's hoarse voice rang out again.
Shi Yanxia stood with her hands behind her back, a smile on her face, and turned to look at him, asking, "Why are you thanking me?"
"Thank you for making such a big fuss, letting everyone know that there is something here. This will surely alert the enemy, and those with ulterior motives will definitely panic."
"That person will definitely feel that things have been exposed and will want to distance himself from the situation, so he will definitely restrain himself recently. In this way, Grandpa's situation will actually be much safer."
“Master Huo had visited the old house to assess its feng shui, but he didn’t find any problems. If this gets back to the ears of wealthy families, they will start to have doubts about Master Huo.”
“Master Huo will come knocking on our door eventually. The Zhan family will be closing their doors to guests, so he will naturally be anxious to resolve the matter. In that case, the initiative will fall into the hands of the Zhan family,” Zhan Jinglin analyzed in a deep voice.
Seeing her making such a big show of things, he guessed that she was going to alert the enemy.
Although I haven't had much contact with her, I know that she is not someone who likes to cause trouble, and I also know that she doesn't like to show off or put on airs.
Today, however, she ostentatiously distributed red envelopes and had so many people pick lotus pods for her.
He guessed that she was going to cause trouble, so he acquiesced to her actions.
Unexpectedly, it actually caused quite a stir.
“Alright, now that you know, my task is complete. Those 188 gold bars are truly mine,” Shi Yanxia said in a low voice.
After all, it's worth fifty or sixty million, so she has to give something in return.
Otherwise, taking other people's money for nothing will be punished by heaven.
Besides, she didn't want to owe the Zhan family anything; after all, debts must be repaid.
It would be better to resolve one or two problems for them while they are at the Zhan family's place, thus settling all their favors and other issues.
"What? 188 gold bars? Does the girl like gold? Grandpa has some." Upon hearing this, the old man hurriedly tried to find someone to fetch them for her.
Seeing this, Shi Yanxia also became anxious.
"No, Grandpa, he's already given me 188 sticks, that's enough, that's enough," Shi Yanxia quickly stepped forward and said.
She also casually placed a lotus seedpod in his hand, saying, "You've been feeling quite hot lately, eat some to cool down."
"Only 188 lotus pods?" The old man took the lotus pods, looked at Zhan Jinglin thoughtfully, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Jinglin, you have never been a stingy person."
Clearly, they were blaming him for not giving enough.
Zhan Jinglin was being looked down upon by the old man. He turned his head away awkwardly and touched the tip of his nose.
"I'm afraid if I give her too much, she won't want it." Zhan Jinglin's voice was hoarse and somewhat awkward.
He had weighed the options at the time. If she felt it was too little, he would naturally make up for it. But if he gave her too much, she thought he had something important to ask of her and might not be willing to help.
"How could you refuse? If you want to give, just give. Why are you hesitating and worried about giving too much?" the old man shouted angrily.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yanxia quickly stepped forward to comfort him, saying, "Grandpa, that's really a lot. I've already packed it all into my suitcase, and any more would be too much for me to carry, and I wouldn't dare accept it."
"They say you shouldn't accept rewards without merit. Look at what I did today, isn't it just worth the price?" Shi Yanxia quickly explained.
The old man's anger subsided considerably after she comforted him.
"Don't speak up for him. He's a grown man and should be generous to women. Besides, our Zhan family isn't short of money. We can afford to give him 1888, let alone 188."
After cursing a few times, the old man seemed to have thought of something and said in a low voice, "Girl, how about I pay another deposit in advance? If anything happens next time, you can help Grandpa handle it, okay?"
"Let's talk about it when I get back from recording the variety show," Shi Yanxia quickly said.
I neither agree nor refuse.
She's not one to take on too much responsibility, otherwise she'd feel pressured.
“That’s right. Grandpa watched your last variety show too. Your skills are no worse than Ah Lin’s. That kid is dull and doesn’t deserve you.”
The more the old man talked, the more he disliked her, but the more he looked at Shi Yanxia, the more he liked her. He felt that she was only 20 years old, yet she already had so many skills. This was talent, something no one could match.
"Grandpa." Upon seeing this, Zhan Jinglin quickly called out to the old man in a deep voice.
The old man, his face dark, raised an eyebrow and said, "What, am I not telling the truth? This girl is only 20 years old this year, and you're already 28. What, you're not convinced?"
“You’ve lived eight years longer than her and eaten more food than her, so why don’t you acknowledge how outstanding she is?” the old man immediately scolded.
Zhan Jinglin was both amused and exasperated by his scolding.
Zhan Jinglin, who is usually a shrewd strategist and decisive in the business world, can only be scolded by the old man.
"Yes, Grandpa is right. I am indeed not as good as Shi Yanxia. I hope Miss Shi will give me more guidance in the future." Zhan Jinglin quickly straightened his posture.
Shi Yanxia's lips twitched, and she couldn't help but turn her head away and laugh out loud.
"Girl, what should we do with these clothes?" The old man seemed to have thought of something.
He looked down at the clothes lying on the ground. These were the clothes he had given to his son. He never expected that his son would be gone after wearing them only once.
