“In the past, I didn’t understand why she was so obsessed with this string of prayer beads. Now, 1 know the reason.” Yu An smiled.
“Ye Chang’s stepmother actually knows these things. She can actually tell at a glance that this string of prayer beads is extraordinary.” Yu Su frowned and pondered. “When I was with Ye Chang in the past, 1 never heard him mention this stepmother of his.”
When Yu An heard Yu Su’s words, he became interested in the identity of Ye Chang’s stepmother. “Back then, Ye Chang’s stepmother relied on her own strength to stabilize several companies under Ye Chang’s father that almost went bankrupt because of their operations. She even relied on this matter to change from an ordinary secretary to the wife of the current president of the Ye Corporation.”
“Ye Chang’s stepmother… Interesting.”
Whether it was in her previous life or this life, Yu Su had never seen this person before. She did not know that she was actually so capable that she could help Ye Chang’s father stabilize the situation alone.
Yu An nodded. “I heard that Ye Chang respects his stepmother very much. He even treats her as his mother. If it weren’t for the fact that Old Master Ye is still around, Ye Chang would probably have handed his shares to his stepmother to manage.”
What happened to Ye Chang did not matter much to the current Yu Su. She only wanted to know if Ye Chang, her stepmother, still had any ideas about the prayer beads.
“Big Brother, is that woman still eyeing the prayer beads?” Yu Su asked.
Yu An shook his head. The last time this woman came to visit was half a year before Yu Su was recognized as a member of the Yu family. After that, she had never appeared in front of him again, and she had never appeared at some big parties.
“Speaking of which, the jade pendants worn by Ye Chang and Yu Miao are quite interesting.” Yu Su recalled the photos that had been circulated from her hands. Yu An took a bite of shaved ice and asked, “What do you mean?”
“Someone cast a curse on Yu Miao’s jade pendant to borrow her luck, and Ye Chang’s jade pendant was cursed by someone wanting to borrow his lifespan,” Yu Su said word by word.
Yu Su’s words made Yu An’s heart skip a beat. After a long time, he asked, “Borrow luck?”
Yu Su nodded and said, “Yes, Yu Miao should have been destined to be rich and noble. At first, I was wondering why her luck was getting worse and worse. It was only when I happened to see her jade pendant that I finally knew the reason.”
When Yu Miao was first brought home by Hu Ying, her family had indeed found a metaphysical master to read Yu Miao’s fortune. Although the master said that Yu Miao was destined to be rich and noble at that time, Yu An had grown up in an environment that believed in science and did not believe in metaphysics, so he did not take the master’s words to heart.
However, his biological sister had actually said the same thing today. This made him have no choice but to take the metaphysical master’s words seriously again.
“But what does this have to do with Ye Chang? Didn’t you just say that their jade pendants are interesting?” Yu An didn’t quite understand.
“Let’s put it this way. If only one of them has this jade pendant, the curse imposed by the higher-ups might not be able to achieve the current effect. These two curses are considered Yin-Yang curses in the metaphysical world. The person who cast the curse can take away what he wants bit by bit without anyone knowing. Moreover, this curse is extremely harmful to the person whom it was casted on. If one is not careful, the person whom was casted on will die. The curse will even disappear after the person whom the curse was cast on dies, making it impossible to find the person who cast the curse.”
Yu Su explained to Yu An, “When 1 heard you talking about Ye Chang’s stepmother just now and how her stepmother coveted the prayer beads in your hand, I couldn’t help but think of a possibility.”
Yu An instantly understood Yu Su’s guess. “You’re saying that Yu Miao and Ye Chang’s couple jade pendant was Ye Chang’s stepmother’s doing?”
“That’s right.” Yu Su nodded. “Ye Chang’s stepmother must have set her sights on Yu Miao’s rich and noble luck and wanted to use her luck to seize the Ye family.”
“But isn’t she afraid that the masters of metaphysics will see through her?” Yu An frowned, feeling uneasy.
If it was really as Yu Su had said, wouldn’t the Ye family be in danger? The Yu family and the Ye family were still connected by many business dealings. If the Ye family really fell just like that, the Yu family would probably suffer the most..
