As the saying goes, don't hit someone's face, and don't expose someone's shortcomings!
Suddenly bringing up the fact that Li Yifei had unexpectedly become a father seemed to be exposing his shortcomings!
However, even if he didn't say it, the news would soon come out anyway. He just made it happen a little earlier.
"You scoundrel! Talking nonsense!" Qin Muye's words made Li Zexing angry and embarrassed.
"Brother Qin, you can't joke about this..." Even Li Yifei, who had seven or eight parts of trust in Qin Muye, was now half-believing and half-doubting.
"My calculations are absolutely correct!"
However, Qin Muye looked very confident and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask your wife and the butler here to verify it..."
The events that followed were no different from the original story.
Li Zexing originally didn't believe that the butler, Ah Da, who had been by his side for years, was actually his biological father. But when Ah Da knelt before him, Li Zexing felt dizzy and unsteady on his feet. Although he wouldn't admit it verbally, he acknowledged it in his heart.
Li Yifei also found it hard to accept this fact!
But after nearly twenty years of father-son relationship, he couldn't just cut it off. On the spot, he took out a check, indicating that if Li Zexing recognized him as his father, he would let the matter go.
Qin Muye watched this family drama unfold quietly.
What surprised Qin Muye was the attitude of Li Yifei's wife.
Li Yifei's wife seemed to hope that Li Zexing would recognize Ah Da as his father and kept defending Ah Da in her words.
Could it be? She had no feelings for her nominal husband, Li Yifei, but had deep feelings for Ah Da?
In the end, Ah Da was kicked out of the house by Li Zexing, just like in the original story. Li Yifei then hugged Li Zexing, showing a deep father-son bond.
As for Li Zexing, he also appeared to have a deep father-son bond on the surface, but what he was thinking inside, only he knew.
As the night deepened, Qin Muye had dinner with Li Yifei's family. At the dinner table, Li Yifei praised Qin Muye highly.
However, Li Zexing's attitude towards Qin Muye was somewhat awkward.
Emotionally, the scandal about himself was exposed by Qin Muye, so Li Zexing didn't have a good impression of him.
But rationally, Li Zexing had come to believe in Qin Muye's abilities as a fortune-teller to a great extent.
Because of the scene that had just played out, Qin Muye was quiet during the dinner.
However, Li Yifei seemed completely unconcerned, acting exaggeratedly and laughing loudly.
Qin Muye found Li Yifei's behavior very strange.
From a movie-watching perspective, it seemed funny, but since he was in this world, experiencing it firsthand, Qin Muye felt it was very abnormal.
No matter how carefree a person was, they couldn't be completely indifferent about unexpectedly becoming a father, right?
But Li Zexing and his mother seemed to be used to their husband and father's neurotic behavior.
...
After dinner, Qin Muye stayed in a room in the mansion, sitting on the bed and looking through his backpack.
Inside were things Qin Muye had prepared for this穿越.
There was a smartphone and some technical documents that were ahead of this era!
Qin Muye had long planned that if he traveled back in time, he would need to complete his transformation with the Americans, which naturally required money.
These items and technical documents he brought with him were what Qin Muye would use to acquire wealth.
The parallel world was 2020, while this world was 1995!
A 25-year difference!
Despite the difference between the movie world and the real world, many high-tech products and technologies were likely ahead by twenty years.
For example, a mature smartphone would be invaluable to the relevant industries in this world!
"Although I don't know what business Li Yifei is in, he is very wealthy and his business must be large. It's really lucky that I met him right after I traveled through time. With these products and documents, I should be able to find the right people to exchange for wealth, right?" Qin Muye muttered to himself as he looked through the things in his backpack.
For a person who appeared out of nowhere with no connections, earning 60 million dollars in just two months seemed only possible this way.
Knock, knock, knock!
Just as Qin Muye was thinking about the next steps, a knock came at the door.
At the same time, a maid's voice sounded from outside: "Mr. Qin, are you asleep? The master wants to see you!"
At this time? Li Yifei suddenly wants to see me?
Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already 11 PM at night!
"Not yet, I'll be right there!" Although he was surprised, Qin Muye thought for a moment and then picked up his backpack and got into his wheelchair.
Led by the maid, Qin Muye arrived at a large reception room.
The lights were bright, and Li Yifei, dressed in a well-fitted suit, stood with his back to Qin Muye, giving off a sense of composure and stability.
"Brother Qin, let's get to know each other again. My name is Li Yifei!" Li Yifei turned around upon sensing Qin Muye's arrival.
However, his pale face and weak voice gave the impression of someone lacking vitality!
"Li, uh, Big Brother Li, what do you mean? And are you sick?"
Qin Muye looked at Li Yifei in a daze.
On one hand, his words were confusing, and on the other, he had seemed fine during dinner, so why did he now look so ill?
"In recent years, I learned qigong from a qigong master. After a few years, I did indeed achieve some success in my qigong practice. However, there is a significant hidden danger with qigong, which is that it can affect one's mental state..."
"At first, I didn't notice anything, but recently, it has become increasingly severe. Most of the time, I am in a daze, and the time I can remain clear-headed is getting shorter and shorter..."
"Rarely am I clear-headed now. After much thought, I realized that this is a trap, a trap set for me, Li Yifei! Someone is manipulating everything behind the scenes, trying to take everything from me!"
...
Li Yifei's voice was weak, but his words were clear. He recounted everything that had happened to him and his speculations to Qin Muye in detail.
Finally, Li Yifei got to the point, saying, "My company is at a critical stage now. I need to go back and handle these matters! I asked you to come tonight to have you read my fortune and see if this trip will be auspicious or not!"
"Big Brother Li, aren't you afraid of becoming confused on the way back?" Qin Muye asked, understanding the situation.
"I have already broken all my qigong skills. Although my body is weak and it will take three to five years to recover, at least my mind is clear now!" Li Yifei replied.
"I see..." Qin Muye understood.
At the same time, some of the doubts in his mind were also clarified.
No wonder in the original story, Li Yifei disappeared after making an appearance and had no news for the two years when Li Zexing was in dire straits.
