The Female Taoist Priestess’s Childhood Sweetheart Is a Male CEO

Chapter 38

After reading the bulletin, everyone began to scold Zhang Tong, no, Zhang Ren, and his wife as beasts. His own younger brother and her own husband were actually so cruel!

But some people raised doubts that this had happened thirty years ago, so how was it dug up again?

So everyone investigated again. It turned out that B City’s police department had just appointed a new chief who happened to be the captain in charge of Zhang Ren’s case back then!

He had always felt that something was wrong with this case and it had always been a thorn in his side. Over the years, he had been investigating it on and off, and finally the heavens favored his efforts. He found a witness and went to apprehend Zhang Ren personally!

The matter thus ended, and Jian Xi also became famous because of this hexagram.

Early next morning, Xu Yan came to Yi Jing Creek Garden, because he had received calls from all sorts of people past midnight.

Not only him, even Cheng Bei who was specially responsible for He Qingchen’s covert affairs had received a few calls from elsewhere.

“They want to meet Miss Jian,” Xu Yan said respectfully.

While feeding Jian Xi strawberries as she played games, He Qingchen asked, “Meet?”

“Meet! How else can I earn money? I still have to rebuild my ancestral hall after getting married!” Jian Xi said directly. Her goal was very clear. That day, she had publicly said she would give Zhang Tong a hexagram, not just because she was a little angry, but also because she thought of laying the foundation for future business.

Hearing the two words “getting married”, He Qingchen’s eyebrows started throbbing uncontrollably, but there was no alternative since she could only rebuild her ancestral hall under her own name after marriage!

“Xu Yan, redecorate the small wooden house next to the main building tomorrow. Xi Xi will tell fortunes there in the future. Three hexagrams per day from Monday to Friday, 10,000 yuan per hexagram. Fees for ‘other matters’ will be calculated separately. No business on Saturdays and Sundays. Reschedule if anything comes up.” He Qingchen directly made arrangements and instructed Xu Yan.

“Okay, Boss He. I’ve noted it down.” Xu Yan responded.

Jian Xi felt a little embarrassed. “But Assistant Xu still has to handle company affairs. Won’t he be too busy?”

Xu Yan said, “It’s no problem, Miss Jian. I can manage. I have several assistants working under me!”

Alright then...

“When the small wooden house is renovated, I’ll open for business. Right, Assistant Xu, deposit all my hexagram fees and remunerations into my brother’s account. Don’t transfer it to the wrong one by mistake!” After Xu Yan agreed, he left. He still had to personally arrange the appointments himself. After all, these upper-class figures were hard to deal with, and his subordinates probably wouldn’t be able to handle them. As for the renovation, his people could take care of it.

He Qingchen asked Jian Xi if she wanted to attend a banquet with him that night. He had thought that she would definitely agree given her curiosity.

But this time, he guessed wrongly. Jian Xi shook her head furiously like a rattle drum. “I’m not going. I already promised Sixth Senior Brother yesterday that he would take me out to play!”

“Where to?” He Qingchen asked.

Jian Xi said, “I don’t know! He just said he would take me out to play without saying where we were going. Don’t worry, aren’t you assured of our martial arts prowess?”

He Qingchen didn’t ask further. He was indeed assured of Huo Chengxi’s martial arts skills!

But before noon, Huo Chengxi had come to pick her up without even having lunch with He Qingchen!

As a result, He Qingchen’s face was black when he went to his company!

When night fell, nightlife began.

Huo Chengxi swallowed. It wasn’t his first time coming to the nightclub street. On the contrary, he was a regular here. Why was he so nervous then? It was all because of the little ancestor Jian Xi by his side!

In the afternoon, he had accompanied her to play in the amusement park. He had originally wanted to take her for a nice meal before sending her back to He Qingchen after dinner. After all, when he had picked her up just now, He Qingchen had looked so coldly at him!

But unexpectedly, while dining, the people at the next table had talked about the newly opened and fun nightclubs on the street. Jian Xi’s eyes then lit up as she kept calling him Sixth Senior Brother, saying that He Qingchen had a banquet tonight, so she could return later!

And so, the two of them were now standing here!

“Little Seven, why don’t we just go back? If He Qingchen finds out that I brought you to a nightclub, I’m afraid I won’t get to see tomorrow’s sunlight. You know I’m no match for him!” Huo Chengxi said cowardly.

Jian Xi had a wicked, smug look. “Sixth Senior Brother, since we’re already here, there’s no turning back for you. Otherwise, I’ll call my brother now and say you insisted on bringing me to a nightclub!”

The familiar little devil Jian Xi was out!

Huo Chengxi brought Jian Xi to Night, a club often frequented by him and owned by his cousin Chu Chengran.

When they arrived at the entrance, the bouncer recognized Huo Chengxi as the boss’ cousin. Fearful of offending them, he glanced cautiously at Jian Xi beside him.

Huo Chengxi knew what the bouncer was worried about and said aloud, “She’s of age.”

The bouncer smiled awkwardly. “Sorry, Young Master Huo. She looks a little young so I thought...”

It wasn’t his fault really. Today, Jian Xi wore a blue Peter Pan collared shirt dress and a pair of white sneakers, with a small sling bag slung across. With that outfit and her sweet countenance, she looked just like a high schooler!

Jian Xi smiled at him before the two entered directly.

The moment they stepped inside, Jian Xi nearly fainted!

The loud music made her involuntarily cover her ears. She felt much better after adapting for a while.

Huo Chengxi brought her to the VIP booth with the best view. Jian Xi looked around and saw the people going wild on the dance floor in front. She thought, “It doesn’t seem as fun here as those girls described just now. And I don’t see any handsome guys either!”

Soon, the server brought an alcoholic drink and a glass of orange juice.

Jian Xi asked doubtfully, “Sixth Senior Brother, do you want fruit juice?”

“The fruit juice is for you!” Huo Chengxi pushed the orange juice in front of Jian Xi and picked up the Long Island Iced Tea to take a sip himself.

“What! I’m already eighteen, okay? I can drink alcohol now. Moreover, it’s not like I haven’t drunk before in the mountains!” Jian Xi pouted to show her dissatisfaction but still obediently drank her juice.

“Hehe, with your alcohol tolerance? No self-awareness at all?” Huo Chengxi mocked. “Who was it again who secretly drank Master’s rice wine then hugged a tree and refused to let go despite my and Fifth Senior Sister's efforts to pull her away? Her strength was so great!”

As Jian Xi listened eagerly, she quickly covered Huo Chengxi’s mouth to stop him from continuing. “Sixth Senior Brother, do I have no face?”

Huo Chengxi removed her hand and laughed. “No one else can hear us anyway. Speaking of Fifth Senior Sister, have you called her recently?”

“No. My brother said she seemed to have gone abroad so I didn't call her.” Jian Xi explained.

Huo Chengxi said, “It’s been so long. I saw that she had posted return to country photos on Moments a week ago.”

Jian Xi's eyes lit up. “Really? Then I'll call her now!”

Unbeknownst to them, at that moment, Su Yinghe, who had just bumped into He Qingchen at the banquet, was striding rapidly towards her car while holding up her long dress in one hand and her phone in the other!

Coincidentally, as Su Yinghe was calling Jian Xi, Jian Xi was also calling Su Yinghe at the same time, so both of their phones displayed that the other person was on a call.

Jian Xi hung up and called Su Yinghe again, but it still showed that she was on another call, so Jian Xi hung up again.

Huo Chengxi asked, "She didn't answer again? Where has this fifth sister run off to now!"

Just as he finished speaking, his phone started vibrating on the table.

He picked it up and looked, the screen displayed three big words: fifth sister.
