The Female Taoist Priestess’s Childhood Sweetheart Is a Male CEO

Chapter 19

His second uncle was unwilling to accept this. Then he accidentally found out that he was not He's child, but was just picked up by Old Master He. So he started having wicked thoughts.

Jian Xi's parents were both harmed by him. Old Master He was also harmed by him. That guy was very good at disguising himself and didn't leave any handles for others to catch him.

It was a typical story of a snake harming a farmer!

Now when I think about it, the prophecy made when her elder brother was born must also have been arranged by him.

"Today, when I was dispelling the soul-locking curse on grandfather, the person on the other side should have already become waste. The backlash of the mother insect of this soul-locking curse can take lives. That evil sorcerer was also a brainless guy who would personally raise insects. How foolish!"

When she eliminated the insects, she knew that the mother insect of this curse was inside the body of that evil sorcerer!

Jian Xi hated evil sorcerers who used evil arts to harm others the most. The existence of metaphysics is to help others dispel evil and avoid harm, not to hurt others!

If you have the ability, you should help others instead of hurting others for money and status!

But now she felt more and more distressed about her elder brother. Since childhood, he had been forcibly separated from his family. His parents had also lost their lives because of a white-eyed wolf. If she had mastered fortune-telling and fate earlier, could she have fought for a ray of life for them through Grandfather's face?

Unfortunately, there were no ifs. She first cultivated mountain studies, then medicine. She only started practicing fortune-telling, face reading and divination when she was eight years old.

So every year after she turned eight when she looked at the old master's face again, another child palace of his had become dim and lightless!

The most important thing was that she could not calculate He Qingchen's fate!

"Are you going to get busy tomorrow?" Jian Xi asked.

He Qingchen shrugged. "It's alright. Grandfather woke up today and told me where the equity transfer agreement was hidden. I've already let Xu Yan inform the group's shareholders. There will be a shareholders' meeting tomorrow morning to formally announce my identity as Chairman of the Board. As for his ending, it will be recuperating overseas."

But with the chaos overseas, who knew how long he could live!

Jian Xi looked at him, then narrowed her eyes and moved closer to him. "You are not allowed to get your hands dirty personally! Although I know the people below, my relationship with them is not close enough to be able to 'destroy evidence' for you to the extent needed!"

He Qingchen smiled without rebutting.

Seeing that he didn't say anything for a long time, just smiling meaningfully, Jian Xi sternly said again: “Did you hear me?”

He Qingchen pinched her face. "Do you think you look silly? Don't worry, I won't get my hands dirty personally!" He raised his hand and patted her head. "Thank you, Jian Xi. If you hadn't saved grandfather, I might not have been able to close the net so quickly!"

In fact, if he didn't consider that the He Group was his grandfather's lifetime achievement built up from nothing over half a lifetime, he would have directly destroyed this He Bohuai long ago without needing to consider what "scandals" would cause turmoil in He Group’s stock market, thus putting He Group in crisis.

Grandfather's shares had already been transferred to him. He now held 15% of the shares in He Group. Adding Grandfather’s 30%, he held a total of 45%. His third uncle He Bocheng still held 15%. So even if all the remaining people supported He Bohuai, he still had no chance of winning.

However, the most critical thing was Grandfather's 30% stake!

"In fact, when grandfather was first cursed, he felt something was wrong, so he signed the equity transfer agreement early. But before he could hand it to me, he fell into a coma." He Qingchen explained.

"Alas, sometimes Grandfather is too soft-hearted. After he recovers, it is better not to tell him about this. I'm afraid he will get sick again if he can't stand it." Jian Xi sighed.

He Qingchen did not refute this. No matter how long you raise a dog by your side, it is impossible not to have feelings for it. Moreover, Grandfather still didn’t know that his parents were killed by his adopted son! That was why Grandfather was lenient towards him again and again!

"Alright, it’s very late now. Go to bed quickly!" He Qingchen urged her.

Jian Xi got up from the sofa and obediently went upstairs to sleep, because she knew He Qingchen still had things to deal with.

She couldn’t help with the rest, but after she returned to the room, she threw two coins and divined good fortune!

Reassured, she went to sleep!

The next morning, Jian Xi got up wanting to make breakfast for He Qingchen, but when she came out, she found that he had already gone to the company.

There was a note on the table telling her that breakfast was prepared for her in the kitchen!

After Jian Xi finished breakfast, she took out her phone and opened her contacts to call Su Yinghe.

In a top-floor penthouse in the center of B City, an extremely beautiful girl was sleeping soundly sprawled across a two-meter wide bed.

A corner of the silk quilt was hanging off the edge of the bed, and the rest had fallen onto the snow-white long-haired carpet.

The phone rang for a long time before the girl stretched out her hand to grope for it.

She picked up the phone, forced her eyes open to look at the screen, which showed a local number with no note.

She impatiently pressed decline and threw the phone to the side, continuing to visit Zhou Gong in her dreams.

After Jian Xi’s call was declined, she pursed her lips without calling again. Instead, she called someone named Huo Chengxi in her contacts.

The call connected in just a few seconds, but there were noisy, clamoring sounds coming from the other end.

"Who is this?"

A male voice came from the earpiece.

Jian Xi sweetly called out, "Sixth Senior Brother!"

There was a momentary pause on the phone, then Jian Xi heard a rustling sound coming from the other end, similar to the sound of a chair leg violently scraping the ground.

"Little Seven? Is it really you? Did you come down the mountain?" Huo Chengxi's voice rose very high.

Before Jian Xi could answer his question, she heard him anxiously say, "Where are you in Z City? I'll book plane tickets right now to come get you. Don't you know what kind of situation you're in? How can you casually come down the mountain? You must have been living from hand to mouth these past few days. Bear with it a little longer, Sixth Senior Brother will definitely take the earliest flight to come get you!”

"Stop, stop, stop, Sixth Senior Brother, listen to me first. I'm in B City now, with my elder brother." Jian Xi said.

After hearing Jian Xi say this, Huo Chengxi finally felt relieved.

He had been a little too anxious just now. Only now did he suddenly remember that the Master would never save their phone numbers. They always took the initiative to call the Master. So the junior martial sister definitely wouldn't know his number. Since she was calling him now, someone must have told her!

"Alright, then I'm relieved. When did you get to B City?" Huo Chengxi asked.

"I arrived the day before yesterday." Jian Xi obediently answered, but she pulled the phone away from her ear.

Sure enough, angry shouts could be heard from the phone, "Jian Xiaqi! In your eyes there's only your brother He Qingchen, right! You've been in B City for two days, yet you only just remembered to call me, your Sixth Senior Brother!"
