Chapter 87: Parting Ways

  "How did it become so gloomy here?"

  Jing Wen followed Xu Yi out of the car, feeling a chill run down her spine like she was falling into an ice cellar. She subconsciously wrapped her arms around herself tightly. Xu Yi stopped in his tracks and took off his suit jacket to drape it over her shoulders. "Wenwen, you and Auntie don't need to come any further, the yin energy here is too heavy."

  "It's still daytime and the sunlight is suppressing it, so ordinary people won't feel it much. Now that it's evening, the yin evil energy is most active. You've just expelled the yin evil energy from your body and you're still very weak. It's not suitable for you to come here now. Both you and Auntie should take five steps back."

  Jing Wen took five steps back, and indeed felt more comfortable, but was shocked to find her mother, Chai Yingchun, staring at the grave in shock. Following her gaze, she discovered that her father's grave seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

  "Wenwen, have you noticed that your father's grave has undergone some changes compared to this year's Qingming Festival?" Chai Yingchun carefully examined the tomb under the car's headlights, her expression somewhat solemn.

  "Mom, go to the back and talk, don't disturb Xu Yi from working."

  Jing Mingwen hastily walked over, grabbed Chi Yingchun's arm and pulled her to the back, "Don't you feel a chill run down your spine standing in front of Father's grave?"

  "Yes, now that you mention it, standing here is actually quite comfortable."

  Chai Yingchun finally reacted, nodded, "Wenwen, does Xu Yi really understand Feng Shui?"

  "Mom, he really understands."

  Jing Wen nodded, looking at Xu Yi with a face full of admiration. "He can tell my past life experiences just by looking at my facial features, and last time someone set up a Feng Shui array on his ancestral grave, he was the one who went to break it."

  Her voice paused, "Mom, do you think it's possible that the old man is setting up a Feng Shui array at Dad's grave to slowly torture us mother and daughter, hoping we'll both fall ill and die, so that all the family property you've worked hard to build for the Jing family will be theirs?"

  Chai Yingchun didn't say a word, lifted her head and took a glance at the cemetery.

  "Wenwen, your father's grave was arranged with feng shui more than ten years ago. The illness you have now is also related to this. Auntie's physical discomfort is the same."

  Xu Yi carefully examined the Feng Shui formation, "The person who set up this formation is a master, and the effect of this Feng Shui formation is to fundamentally change your system in a subtle and imperceptible way, it's formidable."

  "Alright, can you break this formation?"

  Jing Min's heart skipped a beat as she tightly grasped her mother Chai Yingchun's arm, her voice slightly trembling.

  "Don't worry, it's a small matter to me." Xu Yi smiled and said, but in his heart, he still had another sentence that hadn't been spoken: "Damn, I was just thinking of finding a good place like this to absorb the yin evil energy. It's been busy lately, and I haven't had time to absorb the yin evil energy and condense it into yin cold true energy."

  The wonderful use of yin cold true energy is endless. Last time, I only injected a little bit of yin cold true energy into Laorong Xuan's body, and that kid ended up giving himself a concussion. Moreover, some yin cold true energy needs to be stored in the Zǐ Gōng hole to suppress the three yang meridians.

  Xu Yi carefully examined the formation, and he already had a way to resolve it in his mind. Of course, before taking action, he must absorb the accumulated yin evil energy within this place into his body.

  Taking a deep breath, Xu Yi walked to the center of the formation, his feet spread apart in an eight-character stance. He closed his eyes slightly and stretched out his arms. Even with his profound strength, he felt a chill run through his body, while the yin-cold true energy within the Zǐ Gōng acupoint seemed to sense that something was about to happen and stirred restlessly.

  Xu Yi let out a bitter laugh and quickly circulated his internal energy in his mind. The dark, terrifying cold air slowly seeped into his body along his arm...

  "Wenwen, look at what Xu Yi is doing?"

  Chai Yingchun furrowed her brow, although Xu Yi's teasing of her today as his future mother-in-law made her somewhat displeased. However, he was after all her daughter's boyfriend, and some things could be overlooked.

  "Mom, he's in the middle of a game, don't bother him for now."

  Jing Min's eyebrows furrowed, "Let's first talk about who set up the trap to harm my mother and me. Just now, Xu Yi said that this formation has been around for over a decade, it should have started when Father passed away and was buried."

  Her voice paused, her pretty face sank, "Except for that old scoundrel from the Jing family, I really can't think of who would have thought to set a trap to harm my mother and me over ten years ago."

  A surge of desolation suddenly welled up in Chai Yingchun's heart, although she had also felt this way, especially in recent years, when all major financial transactions at the company required Jing Dajiang's personal signature and approval. This clearly showed that Jing Dajiang no longer considered her one of his own people and was actually guarding against her.

  "Mom, after Dad got sick, you've been the one taking care of the company. At that time, you were already managing the family business very well. The old man saw your potential and was worried that you would remarry halfway, so he set up this feng shui formation."

  Jing Wen hummed softly, "By the time you've managed the company well and exhausted yourself, Jing Lin and the others will have grown up too, just in time to take over. The value of our mother-daughter exploitation will be basically used up."

  "Xiao Xiao, forget it. After this time, I finally understand that the Jing family is even more shameless than I thought."

  "I worked hard to build the Jing family's business empire into what it is today, thinking that as a member of the Jing family, even if they didn't trust me, they wouldn't go so far as to burn their bridges. But I overestimated them - who would have thought that they had already started making arrangements more than ten years ago?"

  "As expected, you are indeed cunning and scheming! Alright, from today on, I, Chai Yingchun, will part ways with the Jing family!"

  Jing Wen was furious, "Mom, can't we just let it go like this? We'll go back and ask that old man for an explanation. Why did he treat you like this? The family's group company was all started by you, how much heart and soul you put into it! Now that Jing Lin is older, shouldn't we just obediently leave?"

  "What's going on? What's going on?"

  "Wenwen, keep your voice down, don't disturb Xi Yi." Chai Yingchun raised her right index finger to her lips and gently shushed him. At this moment, Xi Yi suddenly became even more important in her heart. If she wanted to reason with the Jing family, there was no other way but to seek help from her future son-in-law.

  At this time, Xu Yigang had just touched her butt, and the small things that took advantage of her were automatically ignored, as if those things had never happened.

  Jing Wen raised her head and looked over at Xu Yi, only to see that he was already sitting cross-legged on the ground. She couldn't help but pause for a moment, subconsciously lifting her leg as if to walk over, when suddenly a hand reached out from beside her and grabbed her arm.

  "Wenwen, don't go over there, don't affect Xi Yi."

  Chai Yingchun grasped Jing Mingwen's arm firmly, her expression very solemn as she took a few tentative steps forward. "Mingwen, do you feel that suffocating feeling is gone?"

  She slowly loosened her grip, and both hands stretched forward, "And that cold feeling is gone too. Also, I used to feel like there was something pressing on my chest, but now it's all gone, and I feel relaxed all over."

  Jing Minwen fell silent for a moment, nodded, "Mom, the Feng Shui array should have been broken by Xu Yi already."

  "Yes, the Feng Shui formation has been broken."

  Xu Yi leapt up from the ground, wiping away the sweat beads on his forehead. This place, where the gloomy and ominous energy had been accumulating for over a decade, was indeed rich in resources. Just as he was refining the cold and gloomy true energy, he almost lost control of the cold true energy within the Zi Gong acupoint, but fortunately, he managed to regain control of the situation in the end.

  "Xu Yi, are you okay?"

  Jing Wen immediately went up to welcome him, carefully sizing up Xu Yi for a moment, and not seeing anything unusual, let out a sigh of relief. "Right, just now I discussed it with my mom, we both think this is a setup by the Jing family."

  He nodded slightly, "This formation was already set up at the time of burial, but recently they have made some moves on the west side of the tomb, greatly strengthening the power of this Feng Shui formation."

  "But now it's nothing, I've completely broken this feng shui formation."

  "Xiè yī, āyí xiè nǐ le."

  Translation: "Thank you, Auntie."

  Chai Yingchun smiled and thanked Xu Yidao, with the emphasis on the two words "Auntie", implying that I am my girlfriend's mother, your aunt, don't have any ideas about your aunt again.

  "By the way, husband, just now mom told me that she wants to break up with the Jing family."

  Jing Wen smiled and said, "I was thinking that since your company doesn't have many people yet, just let my mom go help you out. You don't even need to pay her a salary."

  "That's not possible, Auntie is the chairman of the Jing Group, this is a talent that those multinational groups are competing to grab." Xu Yi smiled and said, "Of course, if Auntie is willing to come to the company to help me, I can give 10% of the shares."

  "Xu Yi, no need for shares, as long as you treat Wenwen a bit better in the future, I'll be satisfied."

  "Alright, since everything is settled, let's head back."

  "Auntie, don't worry, I'll take good care of Wenwen." Xu Yi smiled and nodded, "Let's go, it's time for us to head back. We need to give Auntie an acupuncture treatment, then brew some medicine for her to drink before a good night's sleep."

  Three people got in the car, Chai Yingchun drove, Jing Minwen sat on the back seat with Xu Yi's arm around him, "Husband, my mother has worked hard for the Jing Group for so many years, step by step to make the company bigger and stronger. Now they just open their mouths and want to drive my mother out? Is there such a cheap thing in the world?"

  "This company was founded by my mother, we don't want too much, 200 million, at least 200 million." Jing Wen's left hand stretched out two fingers and shook them, "Less than this number is absolutely not acceptable!"

  Xu Yi was taken aback, his mouth agape in shock. This little girl's appetite wasn't small, was it? She opened her mouth and it was already two hundred million. This wasn't a small sum of money. Even if the Jing Corporation was wealthy, they might not be able to come up with that much cash all at once. Not to mention, Jing Da Jiang would never agree to such conditions.

  In Jing Dajiang's eyes, Chai Yingchun was just a tool for him. What qualifications does a tool have to argue with its master?
