?Chapter 143: Chapter 143 The Good Luck of a Rainy Day is Broken Chapter 143: Chapter 143 The Good Luck of a Rainy Day is Broken Sheng Tingyuan looked at her extraordinarily vivid expression due to the shock, at her pretty eyes filled with disbelief, and inexplicably felt a little better.

He had discovered that he had developed a little habit recently—he kind of enjoyed teasing her.

The mobile phone suddenly vibrated, and the other party sent another bank account.

Sheng Tingyuan took out his own phone and transferred money to the other party’s account.

Ye Chuyi was startled and quickly pressed down on his hand to stop him from entering the password, “What are you doing, why are you really transferring it?”

Sheng Tingyuan was touched by her cold hand and was briefly stunned, then said, “Next time, you are not allowed to play with rainwater.”

“Huh?”

“It’s not conducive to protecting the nerves in your hands.”

Ye Chuyi was full of question marks, “Is this the time to focus on this kind of thing?”

Sheng Tingyuan removed her hand and entered the password.

By the time Ye Chuyi realized it and looked down, the transfer was already complete.

She was dumbfounded, “Are you… the dumb son of a landlord’s family?”

Sheng Tingyuan laughed out loud, “You are the first to call me dumb, it’s quite novel.”

Seeing that Ye Chuyi could still laugh it off, she was even more frustrated, “Sheng Tingyuan, you can’t do this, it’s very easy for you to be deceived like this, is it really okay for you to inherit Shengshi Group?”

Sheng Tingyuan couldn’t help but tap her forehead, “Shengshi Group can only be inherited by me, no one else has the right.”

Having said that, he turned around and walked out, “It’s half-past one, time to rest.”

Unfortunately, Ye Chuyi felt even less sleepy now.

She sat on the bed and sent a message to that number, “The money has been transferred, what is the secret you wanted to tell?”

However, the message sent was like a stone dropping into the sea, with no reply whatsoever from the other side.

Ye Chuyi couldn’t help but tap her own head, “Rain is just a normal meteorological phenomenon, why did I believe it would bring good luck?”

“Isn’t this a clear scam? Now, I owe the young master five million.”

“No no no, maybe the transfer of a large amount takes longer to arrive, maybe the other party hasn’t received the money yet?”

“Right, let’s wait a bit longer, I will definitely have good luck on a rainy day.”

An hour later.

The other party finally sent another message.

The mobile phone vibrated, and Ye Chuyi’s spirit also jolted, she hurriedly opened the message, “Transfer me another ten million, and I will tell you the secret.”

Ye Chuyi held her phone, her heart sinking.

It was still raining outside, the rain was getting heavier, but she no longer believed.

She sat silently for a long time, finally got out of bed, and went to Sheng Tingyuan’s bedroom.

Sheng Tingyuan, half asleep and half awake, saw someone standing in front of his bed, her long hair draped over, wearing a white dress, silent, immobile.

He was startled, and most of his sleepiness dissipated.

When he recognized it was Ye Chuyi, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He sat up, “What’s wrong?”

Ye Chuyi struggled to speak, “Sheng Tingyuan, I’ve been deceived.”

Sheng Tingyuan reacted as calmly as if he heard her say “I’ve eaten,” he patted the empty space beside him, “Come here.”

Ye Chuyi climbed onto his bed, sat beside him, and showed him the text message on her phone, “This person is asking me for another ten million, he is indeed a swindler. I’m sorry, it’s all because I was superstitious.”

“It’s okay, it’s not your fault, you weren’t being superstitious.”

“I will repay this five million to you.”

“You don’t have to.”

Ye Chuyi bowed her head and said no more.

After a while, Sheng Tingyuan heard a faint sobbing sound; when he touched her face, it was wet.

“It’s just five million, why cry? If it’s gone, it’s gone, we still have more at home.”

“It’s not because of the five million.”

“Then what is it because of?”

“Because… my magic of having good luck when it rains failed.”

Ye Chuyi felt exceptionally distressed, ever since that rainy day when she met her brother at the age of eight, rain had become her most anticipated and favorite weather.

Although her brother disappeared later, the good luck he brought her still appeared on every rainy day.

It was also on a rainy day that she met her mentor An Huadong and her first angel investor. With their help, she was able to establish Jungle Pharmaceutical and realized the dream she had cherished since she was eight years old.

But now, the good luck was broken, and the last illusion of her brother was gone.
