The Villain's Mom Becomes Famous for Fortune-Telling and Gossip Ch. 118

The master in front of the mirror didn't even blink. As dark mist rose before the mirror, the lounge's ceiling lights flickered as if the wiring was loose. Then a painful howl sounded. The master's hand emerged from the mirror, holding a struggling black mass.

A foul, earthy smell gradually spread through the air.

The black mass emitted black energy, within which faint, inconspicuous red could be seen. When grabbed, it fought wildly, trying to escape from the mirror's edge. Just as it touched the edge, the yellow talisman flared brightly, and a sizzling roasting sound followed.

Amid the howls, the thing even tried to pounce on Wen He.

Zhou Yu tensed, eyes fixed on the black mass. "Master..."

"Go get the pouch I told you to bring earlier," Yu Yuan ordered without looking up.

"Okay!"

The pouch was a vermilion color, embroidered with complex golden patterns.

Yu Yuan forcibly stuffed the black energy into it, then pulled the drawstring tight and tossed the whole pouch into Zhou Yu's arms. Then she turned to the stunned actress Wen He and said, "This fierce ghost has blood energy on it, definitely not its first kill. Which hotel did you stay at before?"

She had initially calculated that Wen He encountered a ghost in a hotel—probably the vengeful spirit of someone who died there. But the strong earthy smell on it suggested otherwise; it clearly hadn't died in the hotel.

"Yuetian Hotel in Feiniao City!" Wen He tucked her bangs behind her ear, remembering clearly, "Whenever I'm on a business trip and can't get home on time, I usually stay at that hotel."

Who knew it would all go wrong right there.

Yu Yuan lowered her gaze to think for a moment, then said coldly, "There's something wrong with the ghost attached to you. I want to check the hotel room you stayed in before."

Wen He nodded. "But Master Yu, can we arrange the time for the evening? I'm not in good shape this morning. Director Ou gave me the whole morning off..."

"Alright, then we'll talk tonight," Yu Yuan agreed.

Zhou Yu, holding the wriggling pouch, followed behind Yu Yuan, watching as she and Wen He arranged the evening appointment. Then he peeked in, "Master, are we not livestreaming the fortune telling tonight?"

"We'll talk about tonight when it comes," she said.

After finishing this matter, Yu Yuan stretched and her natural lazy streak reawakened.

"If you have time in the afternoon, get some good sleep. Then try to sense the spiritual power again. If you still can't feel it, try drawing talismans along with it."

Mentioning her own Qi intake and talisman drawing, Zhou Yu's voice brightened, even the wriggling pouch in his arms seeming easier to bear. "Okay! Master, I'll work hard and try to get started soon!"

After arranging the afternoon, Sister Ren caught up from behind, calling out, "Master Yu! Little Master! Wait up!"

The lounge was in an idle, ancient-style pavilion. Along the narrow corridor, one side had rooms used as lounges; the other side had intricately carved lattice windows.

When Sister Ren caught up, sunlight filtered through the wooden window, casting light on her. Yu Yuan could almost see the orange-red glow of the yang energy radiating from her.

"Wait, you two!" She ran up a bit out of breath, panting as she caught up. "Master Yu, you helped our Xiao Wen so much today, I have to treat you to a meal no matter what!"

She stepped forward first, her mood clearly lifted. "There are a lot of good restaurants around the set. I know a private kitchen that's seriously amazing! I'm taking you two there for a feast!"

After handling Wen He's situation, Sister Ren was genuinely happy. Her tone was a bit bolder, and the yang energy around her flared up with her mood.

Yu Yuan smiled and shook her head. "No need for a meal. My son's almost out of school. I have to pick him up."

The original character had never once brought Liangliang into the public eye, and Liangliang was well-behaved, rarely telling anyone his mom was a celebrity. The secret was kept tight. If Yu Yuan hadn't met people from the original story today, she might've almost forgotten about it herself.

Now that she had the strength to stand in the sunlight, she didn't want Liangliang living in the shadows anymore.

Zhou Yu glanced at his watch and gasped, "We've been busy a bit and it's almost noon? Won't we be late if we go now?"

"..." Sister Ren's smile froze, her expression awkward as she blinked uncertainly, caught between laughing and not laughing, her facial muscles almost cramping.

"Son... son?"

She stammered, repeating herself, looking at Yu Yuan's unchanged expression, forcing out a nervous laugh. "Oh, I get it! You mean a pet..."

"Not a pet. My son. My biological son," Yu Yuan said firmly, not giving Sister Ren a way to back down.

Zhou Yu thought of the little bundle Liangliang at his kindergarten, waved goodbye to the stunned Sister Ren, and quickly left. "It's getting late. My master and I need to pick up my little senior brother. See you later, Sister Ren! I'll bring the kid to visit you sometime!"

Better not.

Sister Ren forced a stiff smile as she watched them leave, feeling like her brain might explode.

How had she never heard Yu Yuan had a son before... No, why did she have to find out now?

Surprised not only was Sister Ren frozen in place but also Lu He, waiting around the corner on the first floor for Yu Yuan to come out.

He was still in his dark red costume, standing there in this weather looking like he'd just been pulled out of water. After hearing the news of "Yu Yuan has a son," he looked more like a drooping flower scorched by the sun.

"You..."

Yu Yuan came down from the first floor without looking sideways, but Zhou Yu spotted Lu He standing against the wall, drenched in sweat.

His gaze landed on Lu He's face—who looked at least 80% like his master—and his pupils suddenly widened. Instinctively, he glanced at the slender figure of his master ahead, then back at the tall man, about 1.86 meters, in front of him, and blurted out, "You're Lu He?!"

The main roles today were mainly Lu He, Wen He, and Yu Qingqing, so there weren't many actors on the first floor.

Zhou Yu's shout didn't draw anyone else's attention, only Yu Yuan, a bit surprised, turned around.

Seeing Lu He's costume and the face so much like hers, Yu Yuan understood immediately.

This was the twin brother of the body she possessed—Lu Yan's third brother—Lu He.
