Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1756 The Eve of the Wedding
In the blink of an eye, a week passed, and it was soon the eve of the wedding. A few days before the wedding, Chi Shuyan refined the Fiend Purification Pill, and she gave it to her man. The effects were very good. The only thing that was missing was a cultivation technique for her man to master in order to be able to use the baleful aura in his body. In addition, he was wearing the Buddhist beads from Longhu Mountain on his wrist, which would be beneficial to her man in suppressing the baleful aura or cultivating in the future.

At the same time, she sent her deskmate a box of slimming ointment which she had mixed together. After all, she had promised before that she would do so, but had forgotten about it after being busy with other things.

She had been a bit hesitant about giving Fatty a wedding invitation, but of course, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to; her deskmate, Gong Xinli, was too shy and timid. She was afraid that he wouldn’t be used to the lively wedding atmosphere.

In the end, when she sent the slimming ointment to him, she attached a wedding invitation. Whether or not he came was up to her. At the same time, she also attached a description of the slimming ointment.

She also received a call from Xia Mingcheng. Not only did Xia Mingcheng thank her again on behalf of his family, he also mentioned the Ni family’s gratitude.

It wasn’t just because of that piece of land in the south of the city, but also because of the unborn child. In short, her previous divination had come true. After the Ni family’s daughter-in-law didn’t get an abortion, Father Ni was indeed lucky enough to win that piece of land in the south of the city. Through Xia Mingcheng, Chi Shuyan learned that Father Ni now completely believed her and now treated the child in his daughter-in-law’s stomach as a treasure. Not only did Father Ni’s attitude change, Mother Ni’s attitude finally changed when she saw how good things happened to the Ni family one after another despite her daughter-in-law not getting an abortion. Without Yuan Yuan to delude her, Mother Ni’s attitude toward her daughter-in-law and the unborn child changed drastically.

The atmosphere in the Ni family could be considered harmonious now.

The Ni family’s matter was resolved satisfactorily.

Chi Shuyan was also happy for the Ni family’s daughter-in-law. As for the Ni family, they really wanted to see her to thank her in person and even ask her to do a few more divinations, but she declined.

After she had Xia Mingcheng tell them, “A greedy snake swallows an elephant,” and “Contentment is bliss,” there was no longer any other news – it could be said that the Ni family was sensible.

While Chi Shuyan was deep in thought in the bedroom, Li Yu and Han Yu knocked on the door, and the two little guys’ childish voices rang out. “Sister Shuyan, Grandpa Li has cooked dinner. It’s especially grand. Come downstairs and eat!”

As soon as Chi Shuyan heard the word “eat,” she instinctively drooled and felt a little hungry. She hadn’t been a glutton in the past, but ever since she came back from the ancient martial world, she realized that she was becoming more and more greedy, and her appetite was getting bigger and bigger. She also uncharacteristically liked spicy food very much and itched to eat it for every meal.

She didn’t find it strange, nor did her father. On the other hand, Qi Zhenbai and Chef Li were a bit worried. A few days ago, Qi Zhenbai wanted to take her to the hospital for a checkup, but she firmly refused.

As for Chef Li, because of Miss Chi’s wedding and her growing appetite, he didn’t go to Imperial Restaurant anymore. Instead, he handed the place over to his disciples. It was also now that Chi Shuyan finally learned that the person who had invested in the restaurant was none other than Qi Zhenbai.

Chi Shuyan felt that Qi Zhenbai, this man, had the potential to be a profiteer. Otherwise, why would he have invested in Chef Li so early on? Chef Li had probably earned this man plenty of money this year. She had also had a good chat with Chef Li. If he was tired of running a restaurant, he could let go in the future. In the end, he was one of her own; she couldn’t bear to see her own people suffer. She was just that protective.
To her surprise, however, Chef Li was still very enthusiastic about running Imperial Restaurant. He was very happy when other people praised and liked his cooking, so Chi Shuyan wasn’t about to deprive him of what he loved. As for the two little guys, Li Yu and Han Yu, she didn’t plan to let them go to the restaurant with Chef Li next year.

Although the two little guys were a few hundred years old, in the end, they had never grown up. They were no different from regular 8- to 10-year-old kids. In her heart, the two little guys were children, and she was happy to dote on them. All this time, they had worked at Imperial Restaurant as waiters. Even though she knew that they didn’t get tired, her heart really ached when she saw this.

She planned to enroll the two kids into school next year so that they could integrate into society as soon as possible and live more like children.

Li Yu and Han Yu saw that Sister Shuyan was still frowning in deep thought when she left the room. Li Yu’s frown deepened. He tugged at the corner of her clothes and said anxiously, “Let’s eat! Let’s eat!”

Han Yu also said obediently and anxiously, “Sister Shuyan, Grandpa Li wants us to hurry downstairs and eat!”

When they went downstairs, most of the food was already on the table. Chi Shuyan didn’t see her father. She asked Chef Li, and found out that her father had yet to come back after she asked him to pick up her teacher.

Chi Shuyan couldn’t help but call her father a few times, but he didn’t answer. She wasn’t sure if her father had already picked up her teacher.

In fact, she wasn’t very busy today. She had originally planned to pick up her teacher herself, but her father had turned her down.

When Chef Li came out with the dishes, he saw Miss Shuyan’s worried expression and hurriedly comforted her. “Miss Shuyan, don’t worry about Old Master Chi. How about I go out and take a look later?”

Chi Shuyan almost spat out her rice when she heard Chef Li say “Old Master Chi.” She still couldn’t get used to it, but when she thought about how Chef Li was from hundreds of years ago, it was normal for him to use the term “Old Master.” She could only ignore it and calm down as she replied, “No need. If something really has happened, my dad can handle it. Don’t trouble yourself. By the way, how did it go with the suits I picked out for the two little guys?”

Han Yu was fine, but Li Yu dashed away when he heard that. He was very tired after Chef Li made him try on more than a dozen sets of clothes.

Li Yu felt that as a born noble, there was no need for new clothes; his innate imperial aura would still shine through, so what was the point of trying on clothes?

Chef Li was very happy that Miss Shuyan wanted the two little guys to be her page boys for her wedding. However, seeing the Ninth Prince suddenly run away, he was a bit helpless, and could only hurriedly say, “Ninth Prince and Xiao Yu have already tried on the clothes, and feel that the white suits are better!”

“Okay!” In fact, Chi Shuyan felt that pink was nicer. Unfortunately, Li Yu, that little guy, refused to wear pink even if he was beaten to death, so she could only give up.

Chi Shuyan chatted with Chef Li as she ate. Her appetite was so good that Chef Li was worried. Chi Shuyan didn’t care or think anything was wrong. Chef Li still wanted to say a few more words, but Miss Shuyan’s phone rang first, and he obediently kept mum.

Chi Shuyan picked up the call, and the man’s familiar deep voice rang out. “Wife, have you eaten dinner?”
