Chapter 244: 244 Shen Lingtian Cos to Find (Four Updates)
In the Netherworld Capital, also known as the Ghost City, it is located in the southwest part of China, more than nineteen hundred kiloters away from Capital City.
"Wow, miss, you’re so amazing," the young girl exclaid, eyes sparkling, "You’re totally right, I am indeed from the Netherworld Capital."
It was supposed to be just for fun, but to her surprise, there really was such a talented fortune-teller in the mundane world.
This level of divination could almost catch up with the Great Witch of her family.
Eagerly, the young girl flipped over the second card and said, "Miss, please help
see if I will end up with the person I like."
Chu Jin glanced at the card.
Upright: Devil.
The Devil card reflected off the sixth card of the Major Arcana, ’The Lovers.’ It depicted the transformation from an angel into a devil, where romantic love degenerated into a sinking into lust. At this point, Adam and Eve, addicted to desire, could no longer hear the blessings of angels, only the curses of the Devil.
A heavy yoke was placed around the necks of Adam and Eve, who were firmly chained at the feet of the Devil, imprisoned and unable to escape.
Chu Jin looked at the card and shook her head gently, "Unfortunately, the person you like does not like you back, so in the end, you cannot be together."
"What?" The young girl’s originally beaming face instantly lost its color, she looked a bit pale, and her voice was very downcast, "Miss, you an, no matter what, I can’t be with him?"
Chu Jin nodded gently, "Theoretically, that’s the case, but you don’t need to worry. Happiness is sothing you fight for yourself. Maybe, everything is not over yet, and there could be a turnaround."
Upon hearing this, the young girl’s previously dejected mood instantly turned joyous again, "Okay, I get your point, I will definitely try my best, thank you."
At the sa ti, a notification sound from the system echoed in her mind, [Ding! 5% Faith Value harvested.]
Chu Jin slightly curved her lips, "You’re welco, this is what I should do."
"Miss, my na is Gan Yuying, I’m very happy to et you." Gan Yuying reached out her hand to Chu Jin in a friendly manner.
Chu Jin also reached out and gave a light shake, "Hello, I am Chu Jin."
"Miss, can we beco friends then?" Gan Yuying looked eagerly at Chu Jin.
Chu Jin smiled slightly, "Of course, we can."
Excited, Gan Yuying took Chu Jin’s hand, "That’s really great, but I have to go now, I have so things to take care of. Once I’m done, I’ll definitely co back here to find you."
"Alright."
After seeing off Gan Yuying, Chu Jin also packed up her stall and prepared to leave.
As she just reached the road, a white Audi stopped at the curb with a swoosh.
Chu Jin looked up in puzzlent, just as the car window rolled down to reveal a handso face with an air of erudition.
His complexion was a bit pale, and his brows and eyes were unable to hide the fatigue.
"Hello, Miss Chu, long ti no see."
It was him.
—Shen Lingtian.
Encountering Shen Lingtian again, Chu Jin still struggled to suppress the resentnt in her heart.
But thinking of the trap she had set, her lips still curled into a slight smile, her enticing peach blossom eyes narrowed into crescents, her clear eyes brimming with laughter, "Mr. Shen."
Shen Lingtian adjusted his glasses and said, "Miss Chu, it’s inconvenient to park here, please get in the car and then we can talk."
"Alright." Chu Jin opened the door and sat in the back seat.
After she got into the car, Shen Lingtian spoke, "Miss Chu, actually I’ve co to seek your assistance with a matter."
Since the last ti he parted with Chu Jin, Shen Lingtian had encountered so strange things after returning ho.
Moreover, the words Chu Jin had said to him at the airport had co true.
There had been a major riot at the airport that day, with many casualties.
He was very grateful that he had heeded Chu Jin’s advice that day and changed his mind at the last mont, avoiding heading south—otherwise, he might have t with disaster.
Chu Jin smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, just speak freely, no need to be polite with ."
"It might be hard for Miss Chu to believe this, but I’ve always been an atheist. However, so recent events have left
unable to sleep or eat, and I’m extrely puzzled..."
Shen Lingtian paused, then continued, "Lately, I’ve felt like soone has been tracking , but when I look back, there’s no one there, and surveillance hasn’t shown anything unusual."
Thinking back on the encounters of these days, Shen Lingtian’s face gradually turned white, and his voice took on an unusual tone, "Miss Chu, do you think I’ve co across sothing unclean?"
In the past, he never believed in ghosts or spirits, but the experiences of these days, including what he saw at the Wang family villa last ti, made him have to believe.
Shen Lingtian’s words were all within Chu Jin’s expectations. Ever since she had tampered with his car that day, she knew Shen Lingtian would definitely co to find her; she just didn’t expect him to co so soon.
She was a fortune-teller, and it was really easy for her to make ordinary people experience so hallucinations using magnetic fields.
"Indeed, I see that Mr. Shen has a darkened forehead and lifeless eyes, it seems you haven’t had a good night’s sleep for a long ti, why don’t Mr. Shen find a place, let
tell your fortune first, identify the real cause, and then think of a solution."
Upon hearing these words, Shen Lingtian seed to grab onto a lifeline, his eyes brightened as he said, "Good, then I’ll trouble Miss Chu. You must not have eaten yet, Miss Chu, how about we find a place to eat while we talk?"
Chu Jin gave a slight nod, "That’s fine."
The car quickly pulled up in front of a high-end, mbers-only restaurant.
With gentlemanly grace, Shen Lingtian opened the car door for Chu Jin, making a ’please’ gesture, "Miss Chu, we’ve arrived."
Looking at Shen Lingtian’s hypocritical facade, Chu Jin felt an urge to tear him apart; she wished she could flay him alive.
She suppressed the surging hatred and malevolence, her lips curving into a gentle, amiable smile, "Alright."
The two of them entered the restaurant one after the other, and were imdiately greeted by a server, "Mr. Shen, this way please, is it for two?"
It was clear that Shen Lingtian was a regular at this restaurant.
But in her previous life, he had never brought her here.
It seems that there were still many secrets hidden with Shen Lingtian.
The restaurant’s ambiance was lovely, with Gothic-style décor, luxury, and prestige; the sweet lodies flowing from the violinist’s hands brought pleasure to the heart and soul.
They arrived at their booth, and Shen Lingtian pulled out a chair for Chu Jin with great politeness before sitting down across from her.
Chu Jin brushed the hair in front of her chest behind her shoulder, and with an ostensibly casual tone asked, "Is Mr. Shen a regular here?"
Shen Lingtian took off his glasses and laid them on the table, a bitter smile curling up at the corners of his mouth, "My late wife loved the food from this restaurant, so..."
Ha, Shen Lingtian really never forgets to use the dead to craft his image as a man of enduring love at any opportunity.
If he knew that she was Qin Jie, would he still be so calm and composed in saying such words?
This China mainland owes him an Oscar statuette.
Chu Jin gave him an apologetic smile, "I’m sorry to hear that, the deceased have passed on, and the living must go on, Mr. Shen, please accept my condolences."
"Miss Chu has seen
at a bad ti," Shen Lingtian put his glasses back on, "Let’s order first. What would Miss Chu like to eat? Any dietary restrictions?"
Shen Lingtian took the nu the server handed him, inquiring about Chu Jin’s preference.
"I’m not picky, Mr. Shen can just order as he pleases," Chu Jin replied casually.
Shen Lingtian nodded, "Then let’s have a vegetable salad, followed by a fruit platter, and two glasses of waterlon juice."
After speaking, he closed the nu and explained to Chu Jin.
"I know you girls all want to stay beautiful and maintain your figures, so you don’t eat much for dinner."
Chu Jin smiled, "Mr. Shen is very considerate, but are you all right with eating this way too?"
Shen Lingtian replied gently, "It’s all right, I’m happy to have dinner with Miss Chu, even if it ans eating bran and swallowing vegetables."
There was a ti when she really was such a girl, willing to give everything for the one she loved.
To maintain her figure, she ate only half an apple and a serving of vegetable salad every night.
And to win her trust, Shen Lingtian even joined her in eating such dinners for ten years after their marriage.
Back then, she was truly moved and felt fortunate that Heaven had allowed her to et such a good man.
Unfortunately, later on, the dream ended, the play was over, and she died.
The sa performance, now he wants to stage it in front of her a second ti?
Today, she is no longer Qin Jie.
She no longer starves herself to conform to any man’s aesthetic preferences.
