Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 386 - 369: Is There Really Such a Thing as Fairness?
After a while, Pei Jun lost track of time as he dozed off, feeling as if he was dreaming of something.
Just then, with a yawn, Pei Hongli suddenly turned off his phone screen and spoke up.
"How is it?"
"If her videos aren’t scripted, then she must be a very capable person."
Pei Jun pondered for a moment.
He turned to the old butler again, "Did she say why she came to us voluntarily?"
No matter how you look at it, it’s odd that such a famous fortune teller would seek them out.
The old butler’s expression was awkward, "She said she foresaw it."
He tried to mimic Mu Yunchu’s tone, "She foresaw that she was destined to come here, so she did."
Pei Jun stayed silent.
Pei Hongli, sitting nearby, took a sip of tea and squinted slightly as he glanced at Pei Jun.
"Second brother, what are you afraid of? If it doesn’t work out, just drive her away."
No matter if she teamed up with Wen Xu for some plan, driving her out would cut off the crucial condition early on, and it would be over.
But unfortunately, Pei Jun didn’t seem to want to do that.
At least, after Pei Hongli finished speaking, Pei Jun didn’t react much.
So Pei Hongli shifted his words and offered a different suggestion, "Actually, we’re not afraid of them teaming up for something."
These words indeed piqued Pei Jun’s interest.
One second, he seemed unwilling to speak; the next, he quickly turned to ask, "What do you mean?"
"If Wen Xu really teamed up with her, in simple terms, what do you think their goal is?"
Pei Jun blinked.
He seemed to be considering the answer to this question.
"To win the inheritance competition?"
Pei Hongli smiled.
There was even a hint of gratification.
"Yes, it’s to win this competition."
Besides that, Wen Xu had no other purpose.
It couldn’t be to ruin their family.
Not mentioning whether they could achieve that, even if they could, Pei Hongli didn’t believe anyone in the world could be so foolish.
Moreover, Wen Xu was undeniably a smart person.
So they never considered that possibility seriously.
Pei Jun listened intently to his words, nodding as he listened.
"And then?"
"Wouldn’t that be unfair?"
He wasn’t speaking for Pei Jingxiao; it was just his immediate feeling, so he blurted it out.
And after saying it, looking into Pei Hongli’s eyes, he realized how foolish his words were.
What fairness is there?
Having strength is what truly matters.
Connections are also a display of one’s capability for people in business, and a very important one.
So as Pei Hongli said, even if Mu Yunchu was invited by Wen Xu to help him win this inheritance, it was not a bad thing.
"At least if Wen Xu ultimately wins, it shows that our Pei Family can secure the help of such a metaphysical master." Pei Hongli voiced his thoughts directly.
Actually, when Pei Jun called that person and received Mu Yunchu’s affirmation, he no longer doubted the young lady’s capability.
After all, that person was not an unknown junior; anyone he recommended was certainly no ordinary individual.
Moreover, Pei Hongli was surprised by Mu Yunchu’s age.
To have such competence at such a young age, her future potential was unimaginable.
Thinking of this, Pei Hongli felt that everything else could be overlooked.
Business people respect and need masters of metaphysics for a reason; they have more faith in things like Feng Shui in business.
Like before, when Pei Jingxiao’s father hadn’t passed away completely, they had already consulted on his burial site. So when he would pass, they’d immediately cremate him for burial.
Choosing a good grave, or Yin dwelling, from some perspectives, significantly aids the family business.
For this, they are willing to spend hundreds of thousands or even millions to select a Feng Shui treasure land.
Of course, the pricing of different Feng Shui places varies greatly.
The land they chose cost as much as ten million.
Yin dwellings aside, they also need Feng Shui guidance for family buildings like company locations or large malls, as well as new home renovations.
And by new homes, they don’t mean ordinary civilian homes that are tens or one to two hundred square meters.
At the very least, it’s hundreds of square meters for a villa.
From the location to every item in the house, a specialist is required to check them.
And there’s another point.
While you can hire a metaphysical master to enhance fortune and boost business, others can do the same. In cases where there’s no interference, it’s fine, but he has seen instances where someone sets a Feng Shui formation to draw others’ fortune for their own benefit.
In such scenarios, ordinary people like them are rendered helpless.
The only solution is to hire a metaphysical master to resolve it.
There are many other useful applications, but Pei Hongli couldn’t possibly explain every single one to him.
Even someone as straightforward as Pei Jun understood what his third brother meant.
"So you intend to maintain good relations with Mu Yunchu so she’ll continue helping our Pei Family?"
Speaking of this, they recalled someone. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"What about the previous master?"
Mentioning the master, Pei Jun’s tone unconsciously became respectful.
The Pei Family had been working with a metaphysical master for decades.
They had even been present since Wen Xu was born, serving the Pei Family.
But calling it service wasn’t completely taking orders from them.
When encountering issues, they’d be contacted, and the Pei Family would pay for solving it.
From past to present, at least dozens of issues were resolved by them.
The relationship between both parties had been quite amiable; hence, Pei Jun didn’t understand why someone new was being considered.
He was unsure if this would displease the current master.
"Moreover, given his age and experience, he must be stronger than Mu Yunchu."
"As you said, his age is already considerable." Pei Hongli hinted at something. "Who knows how many more years he can live?"
All their objectives were to ensure the Pei Family’s longevity.
Not just ten or a hundred years, but perpetually.
Thus, everything requires advance planning.
"Several decades ago when we met, that master seemed to be around forty." Pei Hongli began reminiscing, "Though we haven’t met in person in the last decade or so, he’d be at least sixty or seventy now."
"Who can guarantee how much longer he will live?"
Pei Hongli’s words were resounding.
They instantly snapped Pei Jun out of his foggy state.
