Chapter 39: Chapter 39: It’s Mine, Nobody Can Take It Away

"From your words, I can already tell that your master is a person with backbone, pride, and stubbornness."

Gu Lili chuckled, "I am actually that type of person too. I don’t give up easily on things I’m set on, but once I give them up, I won’t look back, like..."

"Like what?"

"Like our marriage." She used it as an example, "If you ever hurt me in the future, if you find a mistress or something, I will leave you and divorce you."

Long Yubei’s dark and deep eyes sparkled with amusement, "Divorcing me would be your loss."

"No." She shook her head, "I didn’t marry you thinking about gains and losses. Isn’t there a saying that goes, what we obtain is luck, and what we lose is life? I believe that too. What’s mine, no one can take away; what’s not, even if I hold onto it, it will slip away."

Long Yubei was surprised she thought this way, which actually made him feel more relieved.

Being with her, regardless of what the future holds, there’s no need to think too much, just enjoy the present affection thoroughly.

...

It’s been just over a week since they last met at the Gu Family’s place.

Looking at the haggard and makeup-free face of Gu Li’s mother, her appearance showed clear signs of aging.

She looked very different.

Gu Lili smiled faintly, "Visiting so early in the morning, what brings you here, Mrs. Gu?"

Gu Li’s mother cursed inwardly, knowing that her daughter was deliberately playing dumb.

But she still maintained a smile, "Lili, is there a way for you to rid me of the unclean spirits clinging to me?"

"Of course, there’s a way." Gu Lili remained calm, "But, I have two conditions. If you comply, I’ll naturally take care of this for you."

Gu Li’s mother asked anxiously, "Tell me."

"First, I need you to publicly confess and apologize to my master. If you can do this, then the second easier condition will follow."

Gu Li’s mother was unwilling, but she had no choice.

Ever since Gu Lili left, she had sought various priests and even visited many temples, but they were either frauds or lacked the ability to see ghosts.

She had been living in fear and suffering ever since.

"I agree."

"The second condition, ten million," she said slowly, "compared to your life, this amount is nothing to your family."

"I agree to it all, now please rid me of it."

Gu Lili shook her head smiling, "That won’t work. First fulfil the conditions I’ve set, then I’ll perform the exorcism."

Gu Li’s mother had no choice but to return to the Gu Family, where she wrote a confession and apology statement, signing her name and imprinting her thumbprint, and even used the Gu Family seal.

Only then did she rush to find Gu Lili with the money.

A check for ten million.

Gu Lili accepted it, performed the ritual, and gave her a piece of talisman paper.

When Gu Li’s mother learned she was free of the spirits, she was ecstatic, thanking her profusely as she took the talisman and left.

Long Yubei who was watching had immense admiration for his young wife.

"To make ten million in just an hour, even I am ashamed of myself," he said with a sly smile, "Your money-making skills are truly extraordinary."

"It was just to scare her, those ten million are basically the fee for the talisman paper. The apology was owed anyway." She handed him the paper, "Post this statement online for me, and then bring it back. I’ll burn it for my master when I go to Xiliang Mountain to pay respects."

Long Yubei took it, agreeing to do so.
