Chapter 29

Huang Yiyi dropped me off at the entrance of Anlong Street where I opened my shop, and then she went to school, saying she had classes in the afternoon.

The rest of the day passed quietly, and He Zhongtian did not come to find me again. I guess the monk who went to the Wang family must have said something to him.

The next day was a weekend, and Huang Yiyi came to find me early in the morning. Today, she seemed to have dressed up especially. First, she put on lipstick and applied heavier makeup than usual. She wore a very short skirt that exposed her white thighs, tied up her long hair that usually hung over her shoulders, and wore a pair of sunglasses.

As soon as I saw her dressed like this, my heart couldn't help but thump a few times. I couldn't help but think of how we held hands and walked out of the Nine Stars Future City together yesterday.

Could she have dressed up like this on purpose to come and find me?

"Li Yao." From a distance, she ran over to me with a smile, like a young girl in the first bloom of love. Although I don't know what it means to be a young girl in the first bloom of love, I was definitely a young boy in the first bloom of love at that moment.

As she ran towards me, I felt my heart almost flying away.

"How's it going? Did you open for business today?" Huang Yiyi came up to me, sat down, and looked at me expectantly.

I stared at her face, completely captivated! She was indeed beautiful.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Huang Yiyi suddenly raised her hand and waved it in front of my face, then touched her own face. "Is there something on my face?"

I quickly shook my head and said, "There's nothing, it's just that you look a bit different today."

Huang Yiyi giggled, "Really? I put on makeup, how do I look? Do I look good?"

I shyly nodded in agreement!

"Look at you, you don't look like a master at all."

"By the way, did you open for business today?"

I shook my head and said, "Not yet."

"Ah!" Huang Yiyi looked disappointed when she heard my answer.

"Hey, why don't we go out and play? Since you give readings based on fate anyway! The weather is so nice today,

it's perfect for going out and playing." Huang Yiyi gave me a very charming smile.

Hearing such an invitation, how could I refuse? She had dressed up like this, clearly prepared to go out and play with me. Just as I was about to agree, a very luxurious Mercedes suddenly stopped at the entrance. A handsome man in sportswear got out of the car.

This man was about 1.8 meters tall, very handsome, and full of energy. His face looked like a young celebrity.

"Yiyi!" The man called out to Huang Yiyi as soon as he got out of the car.

"Zifeng, you're here!" Huang Yiyi, who had just sat down, immediately stood up from her chair and looked at the man expectantly.

My heart skipped a beat, and I took a closer look at this handsome man. He was clearly a rich young man, far superior to me in both demeanor and attire. He and Huang Yiyi seemed to be a perfect match.

The man walked to the entrance of the shop, looked up at my shop, and then asked, "Yiyi, why did you ask me to meet you here?"

Huang Yiyi walked up to him, took his hand, and led him inside, saying, "This is my friend, Li Yao! Mr. Li. He is a master in the field of Yin-Yang and Feng Shui, a very powerful one."

"Li Yao, this is my best friend since childhood, Zhang Zifeng. We were classmates in elementary school, middle school, and high school! He is now studying abroad but already owns his own company. He just returned to Xingzhou yesterday."

As she introduced Zhang Zifeng, a hint of pride appeared on Huang Yiyi's face.

At that moment, I felt a sourness in my heart. I didn't know if it was jealousy, but it definitely felt bad. I said "Oh" and nodded at Zhang Zifeng, saying, "Hello!"

It turned out that Huang Yiyi had dressed up like this not to play with me but for Zhang Zifeng. I must have been a bit too self-centered just now.

Zhang Zifeng didn't greet me, just nodded slightly.

From his expression, I could tell he was dismissive of Yin-Yang and Feng Shui. But I couldn't blame him; after all, there are too many people who don't believe in such things.

"Let's go, Yiyi. Didn't you say you were going to take me to Wanfeng Valley today? I haven't been there in a long time, and you can be my tour guide today." Zhang Zifeng seemed unwilling to stay here for even a second.

Huang Yiyi nodded and then said to me, "Let's go, Li Yao!"

Hearing Huang Yiyi call me, Zhang Zifeng's expression changed noticeably. He frowned and asked, "You're letting him come with us?"

Huang Yiyi said nonchalantly, "Yes, he's coming with us."

I was about to refuse when Zhang Zifeng sneered, "Yiyi, are you sure? How did you start believing in this kind of fraudulent stuff? And you invited him to play with us? Don't tell me you've been deceived by him?"

"Zifeng!" Huang Yiyi said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. Li Yao is not a fraud."

"Li Yao, I'm sorry, Zifeng hasn't been exposed to these things since childhood, so don't take it to heart." Huang Yiyi looked nervous as she apologized to me on behalf of Zhang Zifeng.

The fact that she was apologizing for Zhang Zifeng to me showed the depth of their relationship.

I shook my head and pretended to be indifferent, saying, "It's okay."

"Let's go! Lock the door." Huang Yiyi smiled at me and offered to lock the door for me.

I shook my head slightly and said, "I'm not going. You two go ahead! I still need to watch the shop."

"Ah!" Huang Yiyi's face showed disappointment. She was about to speak when Zhang Zifeng pulled her and said, "Let's go, Yiyi. The master still needs to open his shop and give readings."

"We'll play for a while, and then I need to go find Mr. Wang Hongwei."

When Zhang Zifeng said this, he deliberately gave me a challenging look, as if showing off his youthful success.

Hearing Zhang Zifeng's words, Huang Yiyi was taken aback and asked, "Why are you looking for Mr. Wang Hongwei?"

Zhang Zifeng smiled, "To sign a contract. He has a project in Qianzhou that is collaborating with our company. So the main purpose of my return is to sign this contract with him."

In Zhang Zifeng's eyes, being able to collaborate with Wang Hongwei at his age was something to boast about.

"I don't have your friend's strengths. Otherwise, I would open a shop to give readings, it's easy and not tiring, just talk a bit, and you can earn a few hundred yuan."

Another sarcastic remark, another subtle insult. As soon as Zhang Zifeng saw Huang Yiyi invite me, he became like a hedgehog, always looking for opportunities to jab at me. He was handsome, but his heart was too small!

"Zifeng, you're going too far! What does this have to do with Li Yao?" Huang Yiyi was angry, and her tone became harsh.

"I don't care who you collaborate with, but can you stop dragging Li Yao into everything? I'm telling you, Li Yao has helped our family a lot. If you keep talking like that, I'll be angry."

Zhang Zifeng quickly grabbed Huang Yiyi's hand and said in a flattering tone, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything more! Let's go."

Huang Yiyi gently pushed away Zhang Zifeng's hand and looked at me apologetically.

She probably wanted to apologize to me, but at that moment, a car stopped in front of my shop. It was a Maybach.

Soon, a bald, fat man with a serious expression got out of the car. In addition to the bald, fat man, there was a middle-aged man being supported by bodyguards and a driver.

These two were none other than Wang Hongwei and He Zhongtian.

As soon as he saw Wang Hongwei, Zhang Zifeng's expression froze, as if he had seen his idol. He opened his mouth and walked up to Wang Hongwei, calling out, "Mr. Wang! Why are you here?"

Wang Hongwei ignored him, not even looking at him, and walked straight to me, calling out anxiously, "Master, Master! Save my son, save my son."
