Chapter 6: Spirit Cleansing Charm
Editor: Tehrn, Carolin
“Dad, why did you come back?” Su Jingwen returned to the private hospital, and the first person she saw was her father. Ever since her mother went into a vegetative state, her father invested almost all of his time into his career, while her mother’s company was managed by Su Jingwen. However, due to her mother’s illness, the company was a mess, even so, her father didn’t even ask about it and also rarely came to the private hospital to see her mother. However, Su Jingwen didn’t know why her father suddenly came to the hospital today.
“Hmph, if I didn’t come back, I don’t know how much trouble you would be causing. Buying all those random things and this time, you even believed a charm would cure your mother. Is your next move to invite a Tiao Da Shen [1]?” Su Jianzhong’s face was very bleak; obviously, he was disappointed in his daughter.
Hearing this, Su Jingwen knew that Wang Peng had dobbed on her. She felt a surge of hatred towards this repulsive Wang Peng who was nothing but a pretty face. However, she was also very upset with her father, therefore remained silent and didn’t want to reply.
“What, can’t you talk anymore? Throw those useless pieces of trash away immediately!” Su Jianzheng said with a commanding voice.
“Dad, after mom got sick, what have you done? You only came to visit her once when she became unconscious. Where have you been all these years? Ask yourself, have you treated mom right? What I have done, I’m very clear about that in my heart, and I don’t need you to control me. Mom never criticized you for the women you have outside but what about yourself? Have you thought about mom the slightest bit?” after staying silent for a little while, Su Jingwen suddenly burst out.
“You…” Su Jianzhong’s face went red and white after hearing her words. He raised his hand and was about to give his daughter a slap but seeing his daughter’s stern yet fatigued face, he slowly put his hands down. He knew in his heart that he really didn’t have the right to say anything about his daughter, he had indeed wronged his wife and daughter. His wife’s company was entirely managed by his daughter, and he didn’t help the least bit.
“Okay, I know I can’t control you, but I hope this is the last time you are superstitious, don’t do this again. You have received high order education, can’t you understand this? Don’t start a conflict with Wang Peng over a superstitious fraud on the streets,” said Su Jianzhong helplessly.
Su Jingwen cursed Wang Peng silently. Of course, she knew why her father wanted her to get close with Wang Peng. If her father wanted to progress in his career, then he needed the help of Wang Peng’s father. Although her father was already a mayor, her father was not on the list for substantial investment in the Su Family. Without the help of the Su Family, Su Jianzhong would stay in that position for the rest of his life if he didn’t find his own connections.
In fact, Su Jianzhong did think like this. The Wang Family’s power was no less than the Su Family and, on top of that, the Su Family wasn’t one of those great families in the capital who received massive sponsorship from a multitude of investors, those families with limitless potential. He had really peaked in his career being a mayor and was almost 50 years old, if he didn’t receive external help, perhaps he would gradually fade out of the Su Family’s line of sight. If he could borrow the Wang Family’s power and take one step higher, then maybe the elder of the family would re-evaluate his potential.
Although she knew her father’s plans, Su Jingwen didn’t say anything. Even though Wang Peng was handsome, in Su Jingwen’s eyes, he was only good looking but useless.
Seeing that it was her turn to enter her mom’s room, Su Jianzhong opened his mouth and wanted to say something but withheld it. He knew that his plans were not beneficial for his daughter. He thought about it and also followed her, but halted at the doorway. He didn’t have the courage to face his wife who had been unconscious for three years.
On the bed laid a beautiful woman that appeared to be in her 30’s. She was similar to Su Jingwen, but her eyes were tightly closed, and her eyebrows seem to be slightly furrowed. Seeing Su Jingwen enter, the nurse who had been sitting at the head of the bed hurried to stand up and greet Su Jingwen before leaving.
Looking at her still unconscious mother, Su Jingwen’s eyes stung with tears. It had been a few years already and, although she still hadn’t given up, she had no one to cry to and confide in about her pains. She could only cry at her mother’s bedside in the depth of the night.
Taking out the spirit cleansing charms that was worth 20,000 dollars, Su Jingwen’s mind drifted. Although she knew that it was probably fake, she still couldn’t suppress the excitement in her heart. It was as though her mom would actually wake up after throwing this charm down.
Seeing his daughter driven to such desperation, Su Jianzhong shook his head but didn’t continue to talk. He wanted to wait after his daughter used this charm and have a good conversation with her.
Su Jingwen suddenly stood up and took two steps back. She raised her hand and threw the spirit cleansing charm towards the woman that laid on the bed and, at the same time, she gently uttered the word “Lin”. Seeing his superstitious daughter, Su Jianzhong didn’t have the slightest thought of laughing but was moved instead, there was only unrest and guilt in his heart. For her mother, his daughter who was well-educated had started believing these things.
However, Su Jianzhong immediately thought that there were problems with his eyes. The yellow charm his daughter threw out actually turned into many white rays after his daughter had said “Lin”. These white rays entered his wife’s body as some ashes were raining down around her. If it wasn’t for the whole room suddenly cooling down and his eyes feeling pain from the bright rays, he would have thought that he was hallucinating. “What the heck is this?”
Su Jingwen was also shocked, she thought that after throwing the charm out and saying the word, it would continue to fall on her mother’s blanket and then she would prepare to wake up her mother. However, things greatly exceeded her expectations, the charm she threw out turned into numerous, cool white rays which all went into her mother’s body. Meanwhile, the charm she threw out all disappeared. In the blink of an eye, all she saw were some tiny specks of dust flying around.
Su Jingwen felt goose bumps on her head. She knew that a lot of those frauds used chemistry occurrences to cheat people; however, she was a well-educated science student, and there was no way she could explain this phenomenon with any chemistry reaction. Could it be that this was really a charm? Thinking that this charm might actually be working, Su Jingwen’s hands started to shake. If what that master who sold charms said was really true, then her mom should be about to wake up.
Su Jingwen could no longer hold the excitement in her heart and rushed beside her mom.

Chapter 7: Prettiest Girl In School's Invitation To Dinner
Editor: Tehrn, Carolin
Ye Mo looked at the little girl and observed that she had a rather thin layer of clothes on. It was September, and it was quite chilly in the morning. This little girl came out to sell flowers this early? Her family must be having some difficulties.
"How come you're not going to school?" Ye Mo asked.
"Today is Saturday, I'm out to help my big sister sell flowers," The little girl's voice was very soft, but Ye Mo could still hear her uneasiness, but Ye Mo continued asking, "Okay I'll buy some, how much for one?"
"5 dollars for one, but if you buy more it's three dollars," when the little girl heard that Ye Mo was going to buy flowers, her voice immediately became clearer.
"Okay, I'll take all of your flowers, here's your money." Ye Mo looked at the roses in the little girl's hands, there was about twenty or so. He took out a 100 dollar note and gave it to the little girl. He took the flowers from the little girl's hands and turned to leave.
"Big brother, I still need to give you change."
"No need, the flowers I give to my girlfriend shouldn't be discounted! See you around." Ye Mo took the flowers and already disappeared into the gateway of Ning Hai University.
"Hm, is the person who just bought the flowers Ye Mo from our school?" Two girls at the front of the school saw this and sked curiously.
"So this is the one called Ye Mo?" the other girl was also curious. She had heard of Ye Mo but didn't know him.
"Yan Zi, I feel that he didn't buy it for his girlfriend, but for the little girl," the girl called Su Mei said with frowned eyes.
Before Yan Zi could reply, another voice could be heard: "Xiao Mei, I was just looking for you. I didn't think I would see you at the front of the school. I see you're free today, so let me invite you to dinner, and don't tell me that you don't have time!"
A BMW X7 was parked outside the school, and from the car emerged a good looking youth; however, his skin had an unhealthy paleness to it, but when he saw Su Mei, his face brightened up in happiness.
"It's Zheng Wenqiao, the biggest wealthy second generation in the school. Mei Mei, you really are charismatic...." Yan Zi looked at Su Mei with a face full of envy.
Su Mei's face sunk and immediately turned her head around and saw this young, wealthy kid, apologizing: "Sorry, my boyfriend is already here."
After saying that, she ran a few steps, came by Ye Mo's side and held his arm with her hands. Then, she used an incredibly soft and gentle tone and said: "Why did you just come, I've been waiting for you so long. Did you buy these flowers for me? They're stunning!"
Ye Mo was very bewildered
But Ye Mo saw that not far away, Zheng Wenqiao just got off his BMW with a blank face. Immediately, he knew he was being used as a shield.
Seeing the smiling beautiful girl that held his arms, Ye Mo immediately sneered in his heart. A sense of disgust rose from the bottom of his heart.
For her, it was only something as simple as using him as a shield. Afterward, she could just pat her butt and leave, but he would be left to deal with the other love interest. It was as though that it was Ye Mo's honor that she used. These self-centered women really felt too good about themselves.
"Friend, let's get to know each other. I'm Zheng Wenqiao. You seem quite familiar, you might be someone I know," Zheng Wenqiao walked in front of Ye Mo and said bitterly, with a flash of contempt and maliciousness in his eyes.
"F*ck off…" Ye Mo didn't give a sh*t about Zheng Wenqiao. With his many life and death experiences in the cultivation realm, he could already tell what Zheng Wenqiao was thinking just by his eyes.
"You... nice, how dare you!" Ye Mo was prepared to respond as soon as Zheng Wenqiao would attack and would teach him a lesson first. However, he didn't think that Zheng Wenqiao only said a few words and turned away with a bleak face.
Ye Mo understood that Zheng Wenqiao probably saw his robust physique and didn't dare to make a move by himself. He probably went back to gather men.
"Ye Mo, you, do you know who he is?" Su Mei didn't think Ye Mo was so aggressive, not even giving a sh*t about the wealthiest second generation in the Ning Hai University. Zheng Wenqiao's father was the vice mayor of Ning Hai City. Meanwhile, his mother was from the Qiu Family whose business was in the top 100 of China.
A wealthy second generation like him was told by Ye Mo to f*ck off. This Ye Mo really did have some problems with his brain... but she really liked his actions.
"Regardless, I'm really grateful to you today. How about I invite you to dinner?"
After Su Mei had said this, she thought it would be an immense honor that she was giving to Ye Mo since no one else could make her invite her to dinner. In her mind, Ye Mo would agree to her with surprise and joy, and then follow behind her while constantly thanking her for her invitation.
She was once again surprised when Ye Mo actually stared at her with disgust and didn't even reply before turning to the library.
After Ye Mo went into the library for a while, Su Mei finally reacted. This guy would treat her like this, since when did she receive such a cold treatment, especially since she was the one who invited him to dinner. Being ignored by such a trash of a person, she felt like she just ate a fly as her face switched from being pale to a bright red.
Su Mei also walked into the library.
Although it was Saturday, there were still a lot of people in the library. There weren't even spare seats left. Su Mei saw Ye Mo as soon as she came into the library. He was standing next to a row of medical books flipping through one of them.
Su Mei sneered at how Ye Mo was pretending to learn medicine but couldn't even get a seat. She was really contemptuous towards Ye Mo.
As soon as Su Mei walked into the library, a few handsome guys were fighting to give her a seat. It was an honor to have Su Mei sit next to them as she was the prettiest girl in Ning Hai University.
She picked a place where she could just see Ye Mo. Just a smile from her made a handsome guy stunned for a while. Su Mei took a random book to read but was actually spying on Ye Mo. In her eyes, Ye Mo came in to be pretentious. He wouldn't last half an hour before leaving.
But unexpectedly, quite a few "half hour" passed but Ye Mo still didn't have the slightest intentions of leaving.
His reading speed was very fast, as he was just standing by the medical bookshelf. Each hour, he would switch up to three or four books, and Su Mei could see very clearly that Ye Mo was reading each book extremely quickly, from the beginning to the end without leaving a single page out.
Pretend, keep pretending. With that flipping speed, it would be considered hasty just to look at the title much less see the content and understand it.
Ye Mo was already immersed in these medical publications. However, what disappointed Ye Mo was that although there were unique aspects, they didn't actually extend to the "out-of-the-box thinking".
Whether it was Western or Chinese medicine, they were all the same. Despite so, Ye Mo would still remember every information he read.
Meanwhile, Su Mei was growing tired of waiting. It was already 3 in the afternoon, but Ye Mo was still reading and didn't even eat lunch. Because she had to keep watch over him, she could only starve as well.
Just when Su Mei could no longer endure, Ye Mo finally put down the book in his hands and walked out of the library.
Seeing this, Su Mei immediately followed him outside.
"What else do you want?" Ye Mo's voice was frigid. Obviously, he already knew Su Mei was following him.
