The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 89

"That's right," President Xiang also nodded. "But I had a master come to check it out later, and they said there was no way the villa could have any dirty things. Plus, her mental state was really bad, so I had her go to the hospital for an exam, and the doctors said it was a physical issue. She needed to be hospitalized for treatment."

President Xiang's words were polite, but the viewers watching knew exactly what he meant.

[Looking at it this way, most of what Yu Yuan has said so far has been spot on!]

[I knew it, I was right to side with Yu Yuan!]

[Heh, who's gonna argue when she's from the family chosen by capital?]

[Don't get ahead of yourself, though. Yu Yuan said she can see ghosts, but the client's claiming it's a mental illness. There's a big difference!]

[At least it's better than what Celestial Master Hall and the demons said!]

[You can't say that, though. The first two groups talked about things that are all over the internet, and they're pretty negative. If President Xiang just admitted it, it'd be like shooting himself in the foot!]

[But some of what Yu Yuan said couldn't be found online, and President Xiang still admitted it.]

[Eventually, the truth comes out anyway. It's better to speak on it yourself and save some face. President Xiang's built up this massive empire, he's no fool—he knows how to weigh what's important.]

...

As the bullet comments on the screen were about to explode, Bai Cheng, who had been staring at the house, suddenly spoke up, "No, I think Madam might not be mentally ill. This house really does have ghostly energy. Maybe, when Madam used to live here, she really did see ghosts."

He had pale skin, wore a hoodie, and his face was often obscured by shadows. He was the least noticeable member of Celestial Master Hall.

This time, he looked up at the distant house, his sharp, pale features coming into focus on the camera.

Compared to the popular "pretty boy" types of today, his features were sharp, with well-defined contours, making him look much older than his actual age of under twenty. But he was the type of handsome man most people in the country admired.

The debate in the comments section immediately stopped, and rows of exclamation marks began to flood the screen.

[!!! Handsome guy! Who are you?!]

[Junyan, stand still right there, don't move! I'm going to work overtime to get my hair done! I'll be back tomorrow!]

[Ughhh, his words are so scary, but that face—he's so handsome. Now I'm stuck on the fence here, I don't know whether to jump or not.]

[Hubby, why are you out of the house? Get in a bag and let me take you home!]

...

Bai Cheng glanced at Yu Yuan, who hadn't said anything, then turned to President Xiang. "President Xiang, can we go check out the villa?"

"The villa..." President Xiang hesitated. "What does the villa have to do with my family's grave being dug up?"

Bai Cheng: "It doesn't..."

"Of course it does." Yu Yuan cut him off. "Your house is so close to this grave, it's bound to be affected, that's inevitable."

She turned to face him, "Right, Fang Junyan?"

Fang Junyan, who had been lost in thought about the grave, was suddenly called out by name. Dazed, he looked up and met Yu Yuan's eyes.

After a moment's hesitation, he nodded, "Yeah... right."

President Xiang: "......"

Fang Junyan had already said so, and President Xiang, without showing any signs, glanced at the dozen or so cameras around them. He had no choice but to lead them toward the villa.

"I've been quite busy lately. The company is far from here, and I haven't been back for over half a month," he explained as he walked.

The villa had three floors. It looked grand on the outside, and the interior decoration was even more exquisite and stylish.

As Yu Yuan walked from the first floor to the second, she noticed many family photos hanging on the wall at the top of the stairs.

She looked at them one by one. Most of them were of President Xiang holding his daughter, and the rest were of him with a woman. Only a few of them featured a little boy.

"President Xiang." Yu Yuan stopped in front of one of the photos and leaned in to study the little boy's face.

His fate line wasn't right, and his features were off-center...

"You and your current wife have a son?"

President Xiang's heart tightened, but this time, he didn't have the luck he had last time.

He heard the woman beside him say, "Looking at the age, this little boy seems to be about the same age as your daughter... Hmm, born in the same year?"

The elderly butler smiled, "We only have two children, both from the first wife, and they are fraternal twins."

When the butler mentioned the twins, his smile faded slightly, and a touch of sorrow appeared on his face. "Twins, both of them, both sick. If it hadn't been for the accident with both of them, our lady wouldn't have..."

He sighed, and Fang Junyan spoke up, "My condolences, sir."

"I see," Yu Yuan said as she crossed her arms and walked downstairs, muttering to herself. Her voice was just loud enough for everyone to hear, "This place has a lot of bloodshed. It's connected to President Xiang's fate line, so I thought maybe President Xiang had a child die here..."

Her words were blunt, and, as expected, President Xiang, who had been waiting for an opportunity to snap, took the chance to sink into a calm tone.

"Master Yu, I call you 'Master Yu' not because of who you are but because I have basic manners! But please remember, I invited you here to investigate the reason my ancestral tomb was dug up, not for you to boost your livestream views by casually joking about my children."

He shot a glance at the director, his expression one of irritation. "If you can't solve my problem, then please leave!"

He flicked his sleeve and gestured to the butler, signaling him to make a "please" motion to the director.

"Wait, President Xiang, we..." The director, looking troubled, was about to plead again when suddenly, the sound of a car engine came from outside the villa's gates.

Before long, a young woman with a large belly ran toward the entrance, followed by a man in a suit who looked a bit like her.

As soon as the woman entered, she looked at President Xiang and her eyes filled with urgency. "Dad, why didn't you tell me that something happened to Mom's grave?"

She had found out through the livestream!

President Xiang, seeing his pregnant daughter running toward him, widened his eyes and hurried to meet her. "You're pregnant! Why are you running around like this?!"
