My Evil Wife Is a Nine-Tailed Fox

Chapter 153 - Winning The Bet (1)

Shen Minyao inwardly smiled as she looked at her elder brother, who kept talking with Cheng Lifan nonetheless. She and Lu Anqi ordered several dishes, while Li Fei'er was obviously preoccupied and could only watch them eat heartily. 

"Ah, I didn't know that Mr. Qin also owned this shopping mall. Mama, are we going to open a branch here?" The fox woman asked Cheng Lifan with curiosity. What else would be the reason why Cheng Lifan and Qin Zhi were meeting if it wasn't for that? 

"En," the older woman replied. Actually, even she was a little bit surprised that Qin Zhi changed his mind regarding this. Her company had been long waiting for the Eir Group to allow them to open several branches in the shopping malls the Eir Group owned. 

Cheng Lifan had long given up on earning Qin Zhi's attention when suddenly, out of the blue, her assistant received a call about the Eir Group accepting their proposal and asking for a meeting. It was for this reason that she had to meet Qin Zhi on such short notice. 

"That's great.. Shouldn't we celebrate, then?" Shen Minyao grinned while trying to piss off her older brother. 

How could she not notice that Qin Zhi was trying to ignore Li Fei'er's presence, the girl currently seated next to her? Shen Minyao had to give it to Qin Zhi for remaining calm and collected upon seeing the reincarnation of his deceased wife. 

"Isn't this why we are here, Schoolmate Shen? No wonder Mr. Qin invited us to join them for dinner." Lu Anqi was thrilled upon seeing the delicious dishes in front of her. These were the ones she couldn't afford to buy on her own. 

Who would have thought that her luck was really good today, after they met Shen Minyao's mother and her business partner? She had never thought that the rumors about Shen Minyao being the eldest miss of a wealthy family were true at all. 

How could Lu Anqi believe that when she never saw Shen Minyao spend lavishly whenever they were together? Shen Minyao simply dressed herself well, without screaming the worth of her clothes, unlike her cousin Shen Qing. 

"Right. Right. We shouldn't forget to thank CEO Qin for his treat." Shen Minyao's lips curled up. "Fei'er, do you like something else to eat? Why are you not eating with us?" She suddenly asked Li Fei'er. 

Her brother was unusually silent today; the same with Li Fei'er. The moment they met Cheng Lifan and Qin Zhi earlier, Shen Minyao noticed that Li Fei'er was somewhat distracted. Could it be that Li Fei'er still felt the connection she had with Qin Zhi even to this day? The fox woman wondered. 

"Oh, no. It's alright. You and Lu Anqi have already ordered enough food for us to eat. Let's not waste CEO Qin's generosity," Li Fei'er replied as she picked up her chopsticks and started eating. She ignored Shen Minyao's inquisitive look and decided to hold a conversation with Lu Anqi instead. 

Shen Minyao smiled inwardly. Ah, she didn't mean to have the two meet like this, especially now that Feng Jiu was reborn as a shaman. Certainly, she and Qin Zhi could never be together for this reason. She was reborn as a natural enemy of demons like them. 

For Li Fei'er to fall in love again with Qin Zhi in this lifetime would also be a tragedy. If only she could enchant Li Fei'er to forget about meeting Qin Zhi today… but alas, Shen Minyao wasn't willing to die for such a reason. 

Their meal continued in peace. An hour later, Qin Zhi was sending off Shen Minyao and her mother while he arranged another car to take Li Fei'er and Lu Anqi to their respective homes. Of course, as a preventive measure, Qin Zhi arranged a human driver this time. After all, Shen Minyao had purposely messaged him during their dinner that Li Fei'er was born to a family of shamans. 

Qin Zhi should clearly understand the situation he and Li Fei'er were in now, and he shouldn't make a reckless move to lure the shamans to his doorstep. 

"CEO Qin, thank you for your treat again. I hope your collaboration with my mother works well," Shen Minyao said those as parting words, but Qin Zhi understood her underlying meaning. 

Qin Zhi only nodded in response and watched as the car drove away. He made a mental note to interrogate Shen Minyao for answers later. 

He sighed inwardly. Such a troublesome sister that he had… 

Meanwhile, as the car for Lu Anqi and Li Fei'er drove away, Li Fei'er still remained preoccupied with her thoughts. She couldn't understand why she was bothered upon meeting CEO Qin for the first time. Had they met before? She wondered. 

No. That was impossible. With such a handsome face that CEO Qin had, it was impossible for Li Fei'er to forget him if they indeed met in the past. 

"Sister Fei, are you alright? You look pale," Lu Anqi asked worriedly. She could feel that something was troubling Li Fei'er. "You didn't see any ghosts nor demons earlier, did you?" 

Now that Lu Anqi could control her third eye, she could easily ignore and tune out the voices of the ghosts that were coming after her. What's more, she also noticed that whenever she was with Li Fei'er and Shen Minyao, none of those spirits would dare to bother her. 

"Yes, I did, but they were harmless spirits. Some of them couldn't let go of their regret, so they kept wandering around endlessly," Li Fei'er replied. 

"It must have been hard for you to see them and realize that you cannot help." Lu Anqi sighed. 

"I've learned a long time ago that I can never help and exorcise all spirits, regardless of their situation," Li Fei'er replied as she looked down at her hands. 

"Well, at least, we could help them one at a time." Lu Anqi smiled at her.
