Chapter 58 Materialism And Spiritualism.
Wang Yufan took the talisman in his hand and looked at Song Yan who was stubbornly looking at him, he was somewhat surprised that Song Yan despite living in the twenty-first century, still believed in such things, he stiffly looked down at the somewhat tacky Talisman in his hands and suddenly felt embarrassed. If someone saw him holding this talisman, then what was he supposed to do?
He wanted to refuse as well as ask Song Yan to stop believing in such superstitious things as well but then he noticed Song Yan's sincere expression and gulped his words back, he couldn't bring himself to say such harsh words when she was clearly looking out for him, whatever. It was just a piece of paper—— he can always throw it later on. " Okay, Thank you sister in law, I will keep it well." In my dustbin that was.
Song Yan noticed the careless way Wang Yufan stuffed the talisman in his pocket and her eyes flickered with unease. This young man truly didn't take her seriously, to think that she was actually putting her life on the line here for him. However, Song Yan didn't say anything she just blinked at Wang Yufan innocently, it was fine as well, as long as the talisman was attached to some part of his body, it will able to protect Wang Yufan.
Wang Yufan's lips twitched—— tsk, tsk, would you look at that she was actually frowning because he crumpled the talisman a little. As expected of someone who believed in these feudal superstitions. Though he was grumbling inwardly, he still took out the talisman from his fists and eased the creases on the paper before respectfully folding it and tucking it in his back pocket, he actually wanted to keep it in his side pocket, then it would have been much easier to throw it away.
But now it looked like he needed to be very sneaky while throwing this rustic talisman away or else if he was caught carrying it—— just the mere thought was enough to make him shudder and cause his cheeks to heat up in embarrassment. There was no way! No freaking way he can be caught with this or the next day it would be him and this tacky talisman on the front page of the entertainment magazine!
If not for Song Yan's sincere expression he would have thought that she was trying to get back at him for calling her a mistress. After tucking the talisman in the back pocket of his jeans, he coughed lightly and said, " Well, see you soon sister in law. There is something that I still need to discuss with sister Yue regarding the new role she has looked up for me. And oh!" Just as he passed by Song Yan, he knocked on his forehead lightly and exclaimed, " I forgot to tell you, the shooting of the drama will start next week for you. Make sure to read the script properly." And stop dabbling in those feudal superstitions! Really, his mother was right an empty mind was like a house for the devil.
See, such a good looking and modern woman was degraded to this point.
Song Yan curled her lips in a gleaming smile while she suppressed the pain in her body and nodded her head. " See you soon then."
Wang Yufan walked away after nodding back at Song Yan and then took out his phone to call Fu Yu Sheng, of course, the first two times his call was declined and it was only at the third time that the little devil was willing to pick up his call. " Ah, Brother Fu—— you are so cruel to me. When you wanted me to apologise to your sweetheart, you called me from the front but now that I called you, you declined my calls two times before picking up. Don't you think that you are being a bit rude?"
" Did you apologise?" was the only response that came from the other side and Wang Yufan sighed, seriously, his brother was really too cold. Wang Yufan was still in denial that this cold man actually had a son—— did he really do that the old fashioned way or did he just send sister in law to the lab on the night of their wedding night? He didn't seem like the kind of person who would do something so hot and passionate.
" I did, I did," said Wang Yufan, then he remembered something and couldn't help but grunt at Fu Yu Sheng unhappily. " Why did you tell sister in law about my racing addiction? Do you know she asked me to stop racing and stay at home? It's one thing that you always harp on my back but you even told sister in law, don't you think you are being too much Brother Fu?"
" Is that so?"
Wang Yufan didn't notice anything off with Fu Yu Sheng's tone and continued, " Or else? And Brother Fu, why don't you spend more time with sister in law? I think that she is getting off track. From the world of materialism, she is actually drifting to spiritualism! Just now she gave me a stupid talisman to keep and asked me to take it with me everywhere I go, can you believe it? A stupid, tacky talisman in the twenty-first century? I think instead of spending time with those files and clients, you should return home a little more and spend time with sister in law and while you are at it, you should also look for the stupid guy who filled sister in law's head with those feudal superstitions and give him a good beating, are you listening to me? Hello? Hello, brother Fu? HELLO? F*ck That devil tyrant hung up on me!"
——————
On the other side, Fu Yu Sheng leaned back on his leather seat and closed his eyes after hanging up, he pinched the bridge of his nose and looked at assistant Xu who was driving the car before he asked in a faint voice, " Xu Ling, what do you think——are there really things like ghosts and spirits in this world?"
Assistant Xu has been listening to Wang Yufan's grumbling since his boss has put the call on speaker, he helplessly smiled and answered, " I don't——- just like Master Wang, I am a firm believer of materialism and science. I only believe in things that I have seen and what I can't see, naturally I won't believe in it. Back in my hometown, villagers used to often cry at night and say that they could see a ghost of a woman in white, later on, it was found out that it was a drug smuggler who was deliberately dressing as a ghost to scare off the villagers to smuggle his drugs in peace at night. Often the things that can't be explained by science are man-made—— with clever tricks. If someone can't find out the truth about an incident then it only means that the person behind it was smart enough to use a trick that couldn't be explained by science."
" that's true," muttered Fu Yu Sheng as he opened his cellphone and stared at the family photo that was taken a few years ago. At one glance the picture was normal but upon closer inspection, there was a claw-like shadow resting around Song Yan's shoulder.
