Chapter 36: Is Something Wrong With You?Chapter 36: Is Something Wrong With You?
Chen Shu and Ye Sui had returned home. Due to tiredness, Ye Sui rested for a day in their house. Afterward, they planned to go to the Chen Mansion for the family dinner.
Chen Shu and Ye Sui headed off to Chen Manor. Upon arriving, they encountered Chen Xiu and Chang Ying at the entrance.
Seeing Ye Sui’s appearance, Chang Ying’s eyes flashed with envy. She had not seen Ye Sui for only a few days, but why did she feel that Ye Sui had become more beautiful?
She had been taking good care of her body in order to make a comeback. Yet, she noticed that her face was not as flawless as Ye Sui. What foundation did Ye Sui use?
If Ye Sui could hear Chang Ying’s thoughts, she would undoubtedly reply: It’s natural, thank you.
Chang Ying pretended not to see Ye Sui and held Chen Xiu’s hand to go in. Suddenly, a person came rushing out at them. Looking at him, wasn’t it Butler Zhao?
Butler Zhao’s pace was brisk, and he was waving shaddock leaves in his hand. Ye Sui thought she saw wrong, but she was right! It was really shaddock leaves!
(T/N: Shaddock/Pomelo fruit leaves- If you are experiencing some bad luck, you can use the pomelo fruit or pomelo leaves to drive the bad luck away. https://sanaakosirickylee.wordpress.com/2014/06/13/drive-bad-luck-away-with-a-natural-feng-shui-cure/)
Shaddock leaves were chiefly used to drive away bad luck. However, this was merely a superstition. What was Zhao Butler doing with this?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSoon, Ye Sui’s question was answered.
Butler Zhao’s gaze only fixed at Chang Ying, without looking at anyone. He rushed straight towards her and stretched out his hands, holding the shaddock leaves in front of Chang Ying and said bluntly, “Stop!”
Chang Ying instantly stopped in her tracks, “What did you say?”
Chen Xiu was also stunned. “What are you doing...” Before he could finish his words, Butler Zhao extended his big hand and pushed Chen Xiu to the side.
After stumbling a few steps, Chen Xiu, who nearly lost his footing, had a face of doubt: “? ? ?” ‘What’s wrong with Butler Zhao?’
Butler Zhao seriously spoke, “Young Master, this woman did a ritual to get rid of the ghost before coming here. If, by any chance, it was unsuccessful, what would happen if she brings evil spirits to the Chen Family?”
Without letting him finish his words, Butler Zhao bombarded Chen Xiu with criticism, looking dissatisfied.
“Young Master, you too! That’s right! We haven’t confirmed whether that ghosts had really been expelled. If not, the consequences could be unimaginable.”
Chen Xiu growled, “You are crazy! Are you lecturing me now?”
Butler Zhao’s expression could be regarded as a city wall; not even a bullet could pass through. Chen Xiu could only watch helplessly as Butler Zhao began to circle around Chang Ying.
He listened to his chanting standing by, “The spirit of Heaven and the spirit of Earth, please descend and drive the evil spirit away!”
Butler Zhao gripped the shaddock leaves and quickly swept them on Chang Ying’s left shoulder first. Continuing to chant aloud, he hurriedly brushed the shaddocks leaves on her right shoulder next.
After several rounds of tossing and turning, Butler Zhao stopped and wiped the sweat on his forehead. “There’s no problem for the time being. You can go in first.”
Chang Ying hadn’t even stepped into the Chen’s family door yet, and she was already so humiliated by Butler Zhao. She was speechless and couldn’t utter a single word.
Chen Xiu was also very irritated. This butler Zhao, the more he was aging, the more his eyes were worsening.
The couple had not left yet and watched Butler Zhao rushing to the back at a breakneck speed. His face was completely different now.
Butler Zhao looked at Chen Shu with great respect: “Third Master, you are here. It’s cold outside. Hurry in, please.”
Chen Xiu almost vomited blood. It was obvious that there was a difference in treatment.
Regardless of others’ thoughts, Butler Zhao went to receive Chen Shu and Ye Sui with courtesy, leaving Chen Xiu and Chang Ying behind.
Ye Sui glanced at Chen Xiu and Chang Ying. The duo’s faces were extremely pitiful, and they probably already had a belly full of rage. Ye Sui smiled and went in.

Chen Xiu could still recall his embarrassment of being rejected by President Chen. Naturally, he would not admit it. “Grandpa, where did you hear that? There was nothing of the sort.”
“My friend was there and saw it with his own two eyes that you were rejected by President Chen.” Everyone knew Huarui’s president had turned down Chen Xiu’s gift. He was humiliated at that time, making him lose face.
“How could you offer President Chen a vase with evil spirits?” Old Master Chen evidently greatly valued the Huarui’s president. Chen Xiu couldn’t compare to him at all.
Old Master Chen continued to reprimand him, “Why didn’t you polish your eyes before you bought the vase? If you don’t know the goods, you can find someone who does. Stop making jokes and embarrassing the family name.”
Chen Xiu did not dare to refute and repeatedly replied, “Yes.”
It was also the first time Ye Sui had heard about this. Chen Xiu initially wanted to send the vase to Huarui’s president.
In recent days, she had heard this person’s name several times. Renjie said that everyone would try to squeeze their heads to enter Huarui. Chen Xiu was also eager to please him. Even Old Master Chen had much appreciation for Huarui’s President.
Everyone praised Huarui’s president without ceasing, but he always kept a low profile and never showed his face in public.
This president Chen really is mysterious. Who was he?
