Ye Qianqian was very clear in her speech as she laid bare her entire family history in front of the Shens.

Shen Zhilie quietly tightened his arm around her waist as a gesture of consolation and support.

Ye Qianqian glanced at Shen Zhilie and continued. “When I was in high school, my grandmother was very ill and needed medical treatment for a few years. After suffering through years of her ailment, she finally couldn’t hold on anymore, and passed away. My family was very poor then, and I had no choice but to leave town to seek employment in order to pay for my living expenses and school fees. When I was in university, I almost dropped out. Fortunately, my best friend came to my aid, allowing me to get to where I am today. Grandma, does such a life sound like one of fortune to you?”

Ye Qianqian was very firm in her resolve. She looked Old Mrs. Shen squarely in the eye and spoke every word in an unquestionable tone.

Old Mrs. Shen’s brows slowly furrowed together as she heard Ye Qianqian’s words. To the side, Shen Longyue and his wife were touched by the story.

“No one on this earth has an easy life. I built this family from the ground up, too. Back then, you grandmother said that I was destined to achieve nothing, too.” Shen Longyue took a sip of milk and sighed heavily. “Although your grandmother wasn’t a medium yet, she went to discuss it with her group of friends, too. On that front, she hasn’t changed at all.”

“Longyue! How can you speak of your mother this way?”

“Mom, times have changed. Stop believing in such things.” Shen Longyue looked exasperated. “Zhilie isn’t young anymore, either. Now that he’s finally found a girl that he likes, why do you keep insisting on breaking them up? You said it yourself that doing things like that lessens one’s karma!”

“If it’s for the sake of my grandson, I don’t care about my karma! I’m doing all this for Zhilie’s good!”

“I don’t believe in any of this.” Shen Zhilie pulled Ye Qianqian close. “Come on, let’s go.”

“Shen Zhilie!”

Shen Zhilie simply ignored her and led Ye Qianqian back into his room. Ye Qianqian turned to Shen Zhilie and asked, “Do you really not believe it?”

Shen Zhilie found a comfortable set of house clothes in the cupboard. He glanced at Ye Qianqian with an expression of disdain and replied, “Of course I don’t. Didn’t I already say so last night?”

“I just think that when it comes to such matters, it’s better to be safe than sorry.”
