Chapter 63

The phone call was from Zhong Yangying. It turned out that Zhong Yangying had arrived at the bar but didn't see Xia Yunjie, so she asked others for Xia Yunjie's phone number.

"Is this A Jie? It's Sister Zhong. Where are you now?" As soon as the call connected, even Zhong Yangying, who had experienced many ups and downs, felt a bit nervous and excited.

The nightmare was truly terrifying, almost suffocating her for nearly a month. She didn't know how much longer she could hold on if it continued.

" Sister Zhong? Is there something wrong?" Xia Yunjie was somewhat surprised to see the call from Zhong Yangying and for a moment forgot about the talisman.

"The talisman you gave me really worked; I didn't have a nightmare last night." Zhong Yangying heard Xia Yunjie's surprised tone and her excitement calmed down. Could it just be a coincidence?

"Is that so? This kind of thing works if you believe in it, and doesn't if you don't. As long as Sister Zhong relaxes, you won't have nightmares anymore." Xia Yunjie recalled Sister Zhong's situation upon hearing her words.

"You're pretending to be a sage and fooling people again!" Du Haiqiong, standing next to Xia Yunjie, knew he was pretending to be a mystic and deceiving people when he said "it works if you believe in it, and doesn't if you don't." She couldn't help but sneer. However, she also had to admire him.

For a young man in his twenties to be able to act as a mystic and have people call him for advice while out for a walk was definitely a skill!

"Really? But no matter what, I have to thank you. I heard you're off today. How about giving me a chance to buy you a cup of coffee to show my gratitude?" Xia Yunjie spoke lightly, but Zhong Yangying still had some doubts. If it were that simple, why didn't the talismans from those so-called masters work before? Her confidence in those talismans was much stronger than in the one from last night.

"Hehe, I said, this kind of thing works if you believe in it, and doesn't if you don't. Sister Zhong, there's no need to be so polite." Xia Yunjie was startled by Zhong Yangying's offer to buy him coffee and hurriedly declined.

This was a woman with "wicked intentions" towards him!

"What? You won't even give Sister Zhong a chance to buy you a cup of coffee? Have I really become so old and unattractive?" Although Zhong Yangying, at her current status and age, was no longer interested in romantic relationships, Xia Yunjie's refusal still made her feel a bit melancholic, and her tone revealed a hint of self-pity.

Of course, this was also because Xia Yunjie didn't know her true identity. Otherwise, she wouldn't have said such things. But precisely because Xia Yunjie didn't know her true identity, she was now expressing her true feelings as a woman.

"No, no, how could that be!" Xia Yunjie hastily replied.

"Then give me this chance." Zhong Yangying didn't know why, perhaps to prove she still had some charm, or perhaps because she had never been rejected so many times before. But the main reason was the talisman, so she insisted on buying Xia Yunjie coffee.

"Alright, tell me where." Xia Yunjie, who wasn't good at refusing, had no choice but to reluctantly agree.

"I'll wait for you at the BLUENIGHT bar on Nan Shan Road; it's easier for you to find." Zhong Yangying felt a bit better after Xia Yunjie finally agreed.

"Alright, I'll be there in about half an hour." Xia Yunjie hung up and turned to Du Haiqiong.

Du Haiqiong was giving him a thumbs-up, but her lips curled into a mocking smile. "Master, you're really high-level. You even have business at this late hour."

Xia Yunjie was speechless. He didn't know how to explain this to her and decided not to. "I have something to do and can't accompany you for a walk."

"Go ahead, but be careful not to get caught!" Du Haiqiong teased, still upset that Xia Yunjie had refused to read her fortune earlier.

Xia Yunjie shook his head and walked towards the bicycle shed under Building 5, wisely choosing to remain silent.

"Hmph! What's so great about it? I'll go to Immortal Bridge for a fortune reading another day!" Du Haiqiong waved her fist at him, feeling frustrated.

But after waving her fist, she felt a bit bored. In the end, she wasn't interested in fortune-telling, and she was even less interested in the fortune tellers at Immortal Bridge. What she was truly interested in was how Master Xia, the little mystic, read fortunes for people!

In a moment, Xia Yunjie was out of sight. Du Haiqiong walked a few steps but lost interest in her walk. She was about to turn back when her phone rang.

The call was from Shen Liti, her good friend at the airline.

"Hey, I'm leaving tomorrow, and you can't even show up! Are you still a good friend? I've been thinking about you every day... cough, cough."

"I know, I know. But I'm really sorry, Haiqiong. I was planning to go back to Deya Community from my hometown tomorrow morning, but I just got a notice that I have to fly to Beijing, so I have to go straight to the airport."

"Damn Jianghang, are they trying to kill us? Forget it, Liti. When I'm settled in Hong Kong, you can come and join me."

Jianghang was the abbreviation for Jiangnan Airlines.

"Hehe, okay, then quickly find a Hong Kong tycoon."

"Once you enter the rich family, it's like diving into the sea. Liti, for your own sake, you're really pushing me into the fire."

"Cut it out. If you can't find one, you can't. How many people are queuing to marry into a rich family?"

"Underestimating me, are you? With my looks and figure, just a flick of my finger, and not only Hong Kong tycoons, even Superman would fall at my feet!"

"..."

Xia Yunjie hadn't even reached the BLUENIGHT bar when he saw Sister Zhong waving at him from the back window of a Bentley parked by the roadside.

Xia Yunjie was startled to see Sister Zhong in a Bentley. Although he wasn't a car enthusiast, he knew that a Bentley in China could cost several million.

Who was Sister Zhong? How could she be so rich? After the shock, Xia Yunjie was secretly curious, but he quickly dismissed this idle curiosity with a smile.

So what if Sister Zhong was rich? What did it have to do with him?

Parking his bicycle at the entrance of the BLUENIGHT bar, Xia Yunjie walked to the Bentley.

"Sit with me!" Sister Zhong opened the back door and said.

Since he was already there, Xia Yunjie didn't mind where he sat. He bent down and got into the back seat. However, Wu Ying, Zhong Yangying's bodyguard and driver, looked surprised.

Wu Ying had been with Zhong Yangying for eight years. Although she often saw Zhong Yangying interact with men for business, she had never seen her invite a young man, who rode a bicycle, to sit in her car. However, after eight years with Zhong Yangying, Wu Ying knew her temperament and wouldn't ask or say anything unnecessary. So, although she was surprised, she ignored Xia Yunjie.

"Go to Soleil Coffee." After Xia Yunjie got in, Zhong Yangying said.

"Yes." Wu Ying slowly started the car and drove to Soleil Coffee.

As the car moved, Xia Yunjie caught a whiff of light Chanel perfume and saw Zhong Yangying's plump, fair legs intertwined in the Bentley. Thinking of her "wicked intentions," he felt somewhat uneasy, kept his legs together, and tried to stay as close to the window as possible, fearing any accidental physical contact with Sister Zhong.

"Hey, am I that scary? Do you have to avoid me like this?" Zhong Yangying, seeing Xia Yunjie's lack of the usual male enthusiasm or shock, and his deliberate distance, couldn't help but glare at him and scold him.

"Cough, no, no, of course not." Xia Yunjie smiled awkwardly but still sat close to the door.

Looking at Xia Yunjie's shy and awkward smile, Zhong Yangying suddenly wondered if it was just a coincidence, just as he said, "it works if you believe in it, and doesn't if you don't." She couldn't see any image of a sage in Xia Yunjie; he was more like a next-door big brother.

"You, I really don't understand how someone with your personality ended up working in a bar." Despite everything, Zhong Yangying was still grateful to Xia Yunjie, so the less mysterious Xia Yunjie seemed, the more she felt like a big sister, speaking more casually.

"Hehe, low education, hard to find a job, so I'm just temporarily working in a bar." Talking about work, Xia Yunjie felt more at ease.

"How about it? Do you want Sister Zhong to introduce you to a job? It's easy and the salary is..."

Hearing this, Xia Yunjie was so startled that he almost asked Wu Ying to stop the car, waving his hands frantically.

Seeing Xia Yunjie's frightened reaction, Zhong Yangying suddenly realized he had misunderstood her and, feeling both embarrassed and angry, tapped his head and scolded, "What are you thinking? This time it's a proper job... spit, spit, what's proper or not? You're making me confused. Do you think Sister Zhong has no one to want her? I'm just so troubled by the evil spirits that I can't sleep, so I'm desperately trying to find a solution..."
