Chapter 72: Neither Counts!

Looking at Jiang Tiancheng’s serious expression, Shen Fei was at a loss.

However, he was somewhat surprised by how openly Jiang Tiancheng was being with him.

But could Shen Fei predict when Jiang Tiancheng would meet his true love?

He really couldn’t!

Not to mention that his so-called method was just a way to deceive others. Even if he could predict, it wouldn’t work in this case!

In his past life, at this time, Jiang Tiancheng had already been framed by Ji Yue and imprisoned. By the time the truth came out and he was released, several years had passed. His father had passed away, and Jiang Shengcai hadn’t been released yet. After Jiang Tiancheng got out of prison, he disappeared into the sea of people.

Under such circumstances, how could he know when Jiang Tiancheng would get married?

Just as Shen Fei was preparing to come up with a casual answer to placate Jiang Tiancheng, he met his expectant eyes.

Reluctantly, he sighed deeply and said, “In our line of work, we always go with the flow, so there are two things that can’t be predicted!”

“One is life and death, the other is fate in relationships!”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiancheng’s face fell.

“There’s such a thing?”

“Yeah, it’s the rule. I can’t break it for you!” Shen Fei responded helplessly.

“So, you can’t predict the future of Kong Lianshun, the chairman of Kong’s Group?” Jiang Tiancheng asked hesitantly.

“I didn’t say whether he’ll live or die! That’s just your guess,” Shen Fei answered calmly.

Hearing this, Jiang Tiancheng couldn’t find anything to argue with. He could only awkwardly laugh and fall silent.

“As I said, everything must go with the flow! As for relationships, besides that, it depends on fate! Your true love will appear, whether early or late, it’s just a matter of time!” Shen Fei continued.

“If I predicted that you would meet the woman you want to marry and take care of only when you’re fifty, could you wait until then? What if you meet someone you like before you’re fifty? Would you choose to let her go? In that case, you’d be throwing away something important!”

Shen Fei spoke earnestly.

After hearing this, Jiang Tiancheng could only nod faintly, and his mind suddenly became clearer.

“Fei Ge, you’re so practical! Not long ago, my dad took my birth date to a fortune teller, and he said I would get married by the end of this year!”

“But now I haven’t even seen my future wife! Isn’t that a scam?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Fei responded lightly, “Then that person is a fraud!”

In his past life, right now, Jiang Tiancheng had already been arrested and detained! What awaited him at the end of the year wasn’t a wife, but tears behind bars!

However, Shen Fei hadn’t realized that because of his appearance and his warning, not only had Jiang Tiancheng’s fate changed, but even Hu Yuantai’s fate had also been altered.

“Fei Ge, don’t listen to this kid’s nonsense! With his charming face and surrounded by beauties, which innocent girl would look at him?” Hu Yuantai teased.

“Tch, I think you’re just jealous of me! Right now, I don’t have a wife, but once I do, I’ll definitely cherish her! As for you, a quiet person, who knows which unfortunate girl will end up with a monk with no desires!”

In the face of Hu Yuantai’s teasing, Jiang Tiancheng didn’t back down either.

Hu Yuantai rolled his eyes at Jiang Tiancheng and didn’t continue the conversation on that topic.

He then pulled out a card from his pocket and handed it to Shen Fei.

“Fei Ge, I don’t have much to give you, but here’s a Z.G.C membership card! It’s for you! You can come anytime you want!”

Upon seeing this, Jiang Tiancheng seemed a bit jealous.

“Fei Ge, you don’t know, the Z.G.C Peony Card is the highest level of membership! You get free meals several times a month!”

“Once, when my dad kicked me out of the house, I tried to get this card from him, but he refused to give it to me!”

Hu Yuantai shot Jiang Tiancheng a look. “That’s what you deserve!”

Shen Fei had heard of the Z.G.C Peony Card but didn’t expect Hu Yuantai to own one.

“I don’t need this card! Our family won’t come here often,” Shen Fei declined politely.

But Hu Yuantai insisted, “Fei Ge, just take it! You never know when you’ll need it! Don’t worry about me, I’m good friends with the person in charge here. If you ever want to eat, just give me a call! You might as well keep it!”

Then, as if afraid Shen Fei would refuse again, Hu Yuantai looked at Shen Jiayue.

“Jiayue, do you like eating here?”

The little girl was quietly eating, unaware of the adults’ conversation. When she heard Hu Yuantai’s question, she smiled brightly.

“I like it! It’s even more beautiful than the place mommy and daddy took me to last time!”

“Good, I’m glad you like it! Uncle will give you this card. If you want to come anytime, just come, okay?”

Hu Yuantai slipped the card into Shen Jiayue’s pocket.

“Thank you, Uncle!” Shen Jiayue said cheerfully without looking at Shen Fei.

Seeing the little girl so happy, Shen Fei didn’t have the heart to refuse.

“Well, thank you then!”

“So, Fei Ge, what’s next on your plan?” Hu Yuantai asked, subtly changing the subject.

“I’m planning to make a short-term investment! If things go well, I could make ten times the principal!” Shen Fei looked at the two men with meaning.

He was preparing to bring them into the deal.

By shorting Kong’s Group, he could make around thirty million!

But as for the properties in Li Jia Zhuang, there were about seventy units. He could take fifty, and the remaining twenty would go to these two men.

Upon hearing this, both men’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Ten times the principal?

What kind of project could earn that much money?

The previous small mansion only made five times the return!

“Fei Ge, what’s this short-term project that can multiply the investment so much?” Jiang Tiancheng exclaimed.

His curiosity and excitement were evident.

“This… you’ll find out in a few days! Then, we’ll all share the spoils!” Shen Fei said with a faint smile.

“Can I ask when it will start?” Hu Yuantai asked rationally.

“Ah, that’s after Kong’s Group’s stock price drops below nine!” Shen Fei said frankly.

The reason he hadn’t shared this before wasn’t because he didn’t trust them. Of course, if they found out and acted ahead of him, he’d just accept it as bad luck!

But now, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to say, it was because he wasn’t sure yet!

After a satisfying meal, the three of them bid each other farewell.

Back at home, Shen Fei carefully inspected the rental house.

Once Kong’s Group’s stock price falls to nine, they could change this house!
