Before hanging up the phone, Zhong Ruanxing had originally wanted to tell him about Song Shuling's situation last night, but hesitated when the words reached his lips.0

Now that he knew about his emotional disorder, he could understand why his relationship with his own sister was so cold. Twenty years was enough time to erode away the pitiful remnants of sibling affection from their childhood. One was raised in the Song family, while the other was sent abroad. Aside from the same blood flowing through their veins, they were no different than strangers to each other.0

Since the situation was already resolved, bringing it up again would only add to his troubles unnecessarily.0

Zhong Ruanxing changed the subject: "Fu Ling said he contacted Master Pinghe. Let's go meet him this afternoon."0

Master Pinghe was the famous expert in the entertainment industry. Zhong Ruanxing had heard many of his legendary deeds on set before. Things like giving a big shot's mistress a little ghost to raise, helping a wealthy tycoon avert disaster and death, resolving a top celebrity's love-crazed behavior after being cursed, and so on. Mysterious and unfathomable, mystical and divine.0

If Pinghe's fees weren't so high, she would have wanted a little ghost to raise too. Not for the fame, she was just curious about this novelty and wanted to see a real ghost with her own eyes. She was always very curious about things she had never seen before.0

Song Jinxing agreed and they made plans to meet at a teahouse near the company.0

The wealthy had always treated these masters and experts like honored guests, and the richer one was, the more they believed in these types of things. But the Song family was an exception. Ever since the Song patriarch built the family fortune from nothing, they had never looked into fengshui or fortune telling. The Song family seemed to have an innate arrogance, relying only on themselves rather than ghosts and gods.0

So when Pinghe received an invitation from the Song family, he was quite shocked.0

After all, even older and more famous masters than him had never dealt with the Songs. If he could build a reputation with the Song family, who were known for not believing in fate or the supernatural, wouldn't his own fame rise exponentially? His fees could double!0

He didn't know what the young master of the Song family wanted to ask about, but these rich folk usually only cared about marriage, fortune, and longevity. This was his specialty.0

Pinghe went to the meeting in high spirits.0

When he was led to the teahouse, he pushed the door open and saw a man and a woman inside.0

The man had an extraordinary appearance and dignified bearing, while the woman was a breathtaking beauty, though seemingly cold and aloof.0

Pinghe had done some research on the Song CEO's personality before coming. He heard the man had a strong personality and was hard to get along with, so he had felt rather apprehensive. But unexpectedly, it was the Song CEO who greeted him first:0

"Master Pinghe, I have long admired your great name." His manner was mild and approachable.0

Pinghe felt relieved and sat down across from them: "You flatter me, I am unworthy of such praise."0

He took out his divination tools, laying out five copper coins on the tea table, and stroked his beard in the manner of a sage: "May I ask what Master Song seeks from me today?" As he spoke, his eyes slid over to the icy beauty beside the CEO. He already had some guesses in mind.0

It seemed even the famous Master Song couldn't escape the trap of a beautiful woman.0

This was perfect. He would give them a pairing of excellent compatibility to please them both.0
