Chapter 1318: Film Emperor Ruan Letting Go of His Status
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the living room, Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun were worried about the unconscious Xu Tong. On the other hand, after seeing the surveillance footage just now, their faces were very unsightly and terrified, and they looked absent-minded and stupefied.
Fortunately, Aunt Cai had been sent away earlier. Otherwise, Ruan Shenglin really wouldn’t know how to treat her.
Thinking of the surveillance footage, Ruan Shenglin still couldn’t sit still. He hurriedly and anxiously asked, “Master… Master, that surveillance footage just now… what… what the h.e.l.l is going on? Is… is there something wrong with Aunt Cai?”
Ruan Shenglin was no longer as indifferent as before. His att.i.tude was now very respectful. At that moment, there was lingering fear and a lot of regret in his eyes. He looked at the young lady in front of him from time to time, afraid that she would wash her hands of this matter, and felt even more regret at treating her like a swindler in the beginning.
“Aunt Cai is fine!” Since the matter with the Ruan family was almost resolved and the missus of the house was unconscious, Chi Shuyan planned to say goodbye and leave first.
!!
This farewell scared Ruan Shenglin and Yang Kun so much that their faces changed drastically. Ruan Shenglin shuddered and stood up reflexively. He thought that he had offended this Master just now, so she didn’t want to bother with his family and was acting perfunctorily. He was so anxious and regretful that his intestines turned green. He quickly stopped her and said respectfully and carefully, “Master! Master! Don’t leave yet! Can you… not leave yet?”
If he had known that there really were ghosts in this world and that the young lady in front of him was a real Master, there was no way he would have treated her as a swindler. Such experts weren’t common. Most of them were swindlers and just dabblers. There probably weren’t many truly powerful and capable Masters in the world, and they couldn’t be hired even with money.
It could be said that his family had been extremely lucky to run into a real Master during this incident. After learning how serious the matter was, Ruan Shenglin immediately abandoned his status as a film emperor and didn’t dare let this Master go. His att.i.tude became even more respectful. “Master, did I offend you just now? Please forgive me! I didn’t mean it. As long as you have any requests, I’ll fulfill them. I’ll definitely fulfill them for you!”
Ruan Shenglin would be dealt a blow if this Master really didn’t bother with his family.
Yang Kun saw Shenglin’s worry. He knew how serious this matter was, and he was also afraid that the young Master in front of him wouldn’t care about the Ruan family. Shenglin’s bad luck wouldn’t be good for him either. He immediately echoed Shenglin’s words and hurriedly fawned on Chi Shuyan. “Master, I beg you to give us some face and help us out. Shenglin and I don’t lack money at all. Also, we are worried about the child in Tong Tong’s stomach. It wasn’t easy for her to get pregnant after so many years. You must help us! If Shenglin has offended you in any way before, I’ll apologize on his behalf! Please forgive us. It wasn’t easy for the couple, so can you help us out?”
His tone was pleading.
Yang Kun never thought that he would ever curry favor like this, but he didn’t dare complain at all. He and Shenglin really couldn’t afford to offend the young lady in front of them.
Fortunately, his initial att.i.tude toward the Master in front of him had been pretty good. Perhaps she would really be soft-hearted and help them out. If this didn’t work, he would only be able to rely on Director Li.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know how complicated and scared the two men in front of her felt at that moment. She felt that she had already sorted out everything that needed to be dealt with. As long as the Ruan family was no longer targeted by someone with ulterior motives, they would naturally be fine. When she saw the cautious look in their eyes, Chi Shuyan blinked and got it. She said, “I wasn’t being perfunctory with what I said just now about Aunt Cai. She is indeed human. As for what we saw, it has nothing to do with her directly – she was most likely controlled after touching the Buddha statue at the very beginning. It’ll be alright as long as I take it away.”
Chi Shuyan didn’t look at the expressions of the two men in front of her. She paused to choose her words before she said to Ruan Shenglin, “As for the child in Mrs. Ruan’s stomach, I’ve already exorcized the evil, and her condition isn’t serious – just give her some tonics to nourish her body and have her spend a little more time in the sun, and she’ll be fine.
“One last thing: Don’t accept any random thing from anyone. I won’t be able to save you a second time.” After giving this advice, Chi Shuyan thought of the fee for exorcizing the evil spirit. This time, the Buddha pendant had been discovered quickly and there hadn’t been any major problems. It hadn’t taken her much effort, and it was definitely easier than what happened with the Yu family.
But when she thought of how she hadn’t run into the same ghost thing here, there was some doubt in her eyes. However, now wasn’t the time to think about it. Chi Shuyan immediately collected her thoughts and regained her composure.
She was about to ask for 20 to 30 million, but on second thought, this Film Emperor Ruan in front of her did indeed look like a rich man. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she said, “As for the fee, Film Emperor Ruan, I’ll leave it up to you – give me however much you want!”
After giving the other party her Alipay account number, Chi Shuyan planned to leave for real now.
Ruan Shenglin hurriedly stopped her again and said, “Master… Master, wait, Master…”
“Is there something else?” Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes.
Ruan Shenglin hurriedly said, “Mas… Master, didn’t you say on the phone before that you had something important to talk to me about?”
Ruan Shenglin was really afraid that she had forgotten something important. He then thought of the talismans which Brother Kun had bought from the young lady in front of him. Those talismans were very useful in exorcizing evil spirits. Just now, the Master in front of him had used two talismans to exorcize the strange thing in Tong Tong’s stomach. He immediately couldn’t wait and added, “By the way, Master, I… I also want to buy talismans. Do you still have any?”
As soon as Ruan Shenglin said that, Yang Kun’s eyes also lit up. “Mas… Master, I’m afraid the talismans I just bought aren’t enough. I want to buy more. Do you still have more?”
