Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

In the blink of an eye, two days passed, and it was the day of Director Li's film premiere. Probably afraid that Chi Shuyan would forget, Xie Mingxuan specially called her the day before and said that he would personally pick her up the next day.

Chi Shuyan wasn't interested in the entertainment industry or the press conference, but she was familiar with Director Li, Xie Mingxuan and the others. They had invited her several times, so she couldn't refuse.

But on the day itself, she was still at a loss. Although she wasn't in the entertainment industry, she still knew that it was a mix of good and bad, from showing up to support someone else, wearing formal attire and walking the red carpet, to all sorts of scandals.

After Chi Shuyan thought about it, she felt that she was a nobody. She wasn't going to walk the red carpet, nor did she want attention, so she could just wear casual clothes.

So, when Xie Mingxuan's car stopped in front of the villa, Chi Shuyan was dressed in casual clothes. Her hair was tied up in a bun, making her look even younger, like a high school student.

It had been a while since she last saw Xie Mingxuan. After meeting again, Chi Shuyan felt at first glance that Xie Mingxuan had matured a lot. His high-end suit accentuated his good figure and made him look especially attractive.

He wasn't that good-looking, but he was very dashing.

Chi Shuyan was Xie Mingxuan's fan, and couldn't help but take a few more looks.

When Xie Mingxuan saw Chi Shuyan, he was also slightly stunned. He felt that time was really magical, and that Master Chi in front of him was especially magical. After not seeing her for a while, not only was her skin fairer, her little face had also become even better-looking. Her features were really exquisite, and no matter what she wore, she stood out.

If Xie Mingxuan hadn't seen Master Chi's abilities with his own eyes, who would have thought that such a young lady would actually be an extraordinary expert?

Xie Mingxuan's attention was quickly drawn to Master Chi's casual clothes. He saw that she was dressed simply; she probably didn't have any makeup on.

The corners of Xie Mingxuan's mouth twitched. He felt that Master Chi looked more like she was going to study than attend a film premiere.

But her features were really exquisite and her skin was really smooth and tender. Even without makeup, she still beat all the female celebrities in the entertainment industry in terms of looks.

Chi Shuyan's senses were sharp, and she keenly sensed that something was wrong with Xie Mingxuan's gaze. She couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem?"

Xie Mingxuan thought for a moment before he said honestly, "Master Chi, we're… going to attend the press conference for Director Li's film. You may have to dress up!"

Chi Shuyan understood what Xie Mingxuan was saying. She wanted to say that she was just a nobody, so it was fine if she didn't dress up.

However, it was Director Li and Xie Mingxuan who had invited her this time. To some extent, she represented them, and she would definitely be seeing other people later. It wouldn't be good to embarrass them, so it was better to go with convention. She knew how to put on makeup a little, but she didn't have any formalwear.

Chi Shuyan regretted it a little. If she had known it would be so troublesome, she would have firmly refused to go to the press conference or whatever. As for returning the favor, she could just use talismans.

But she didn't have anything on hand right now; where could she find makeup and formalwear?

Xie Mingxuan saw Master Chi's dilemma and was about to speak, when Chi Shuyan thought of Qi Yunchang, Qi Zhenbai's cousin.

Yunchang was a famous socialite in the capital, so it was probably very normal for her to wear formal dresses to gatherings.

To be honest, Chi Shuyan wasn't familiar with her. Besides, given her current awkward relationship with Qi Zhenbai, it wasn't good for her to take the initiative to look for the Qi family.

But when she thought of how Qi Hao had said that the old man wasn't well, she remembered that she had washed some tea leaves with spiritual energy in the last two days. She had been prepared to send them to Grandpa and to take a look at him.

She had to visit the Qi family anyway, so she might as well do it now. If it really didn't work out, she could just ask Qi Hao to help her get a dress.

Chi Shuyan thought for a moment before she asked Xie Mingxuan, "How long before the press conference starts?"

Xie Mingxuan replied, "It's still several hours early. Including the red carpet, it'll probably be in five or six hours!"

Chi Shuyan immediately said, "Just tell me the location of the press conference. I'll go over myself in five or six hours. I'll tidy up first, so don't wait for me. As for walking the red carpet, forget it. Can you find someone else to go with you?"

Xie Mingxuan shook his head. "The others have already arranged to leave together, but if you really don't want to walk the red carpet, Master Chi, I can walk alone!"

Chi Shuyan really wasn't interested in walking the red carpet, but after listening to Xie Mingxuan, she rubbed her forehead. In the end, she couldn't stand him up and let him walk alone, so she could only say, "No, I'll walk the red carpet with you. I have a friend who should have a formal dress I can borrow. I'll contact you then?"

Xie Mingxuan wanted to say that he knew a high-end clothes shop and could take her there, but he remembered that the dresses there were extraordinarily expensive, even for a rental. He really didn't have the money now, so he couldn't be generous. In the end, they arranged for him to pick her up at four in the afternoon.

Chi Shuyan nodded in agreement.

After Xie Mingxuan left, Chi Shuyan wanted to contact Qi Yunchang. However, they hadn't interacted much before, and she didn't have Qi Yunchang's number. She could only call Qi Hao and ask for Qi Yunchang's number. She also went back inside the villa to pack up some things before she took a taxi to the Qi residence.

Qi Hao was feeling bored out of his wits when he received the call. He heard from his sister-in-law that she was on her way to the Qi residence, and she asked if Yunchang and Grandpa were there. Qi Hao couldn't help but be curious. "Sister-in-law, is it an emergency?"

Chi Shuyan didn't hide the matter and told Qi Hao that she had to dress up in order to attend a film premiere.

Qi Hao replied, "Sister-in-law, is that all? I can help you with that. Why do you need Yunchang's help?"

Qi Hao felt that his cousin was very likable, but he was afraid that she would take his place in his sister-in-law's heart, so he immediately took charge and said that he would take full charge of this matter.

Although Chi Shuyan didn't believe in Qi Hao's taste, she still decided to trust him after some thought. She nodded and said, "Okay, are you at the Qi residence now? I'll go look for you. By the way, is Grandpa in?"

Qi Hao immediately said, "Sister-in-law, yes, yes… Grandpa is at home, and so am I. I'll wait for you!"

After hanging up, Qi Hao immediately sent a message to his cousin: Cousin, Sister-in-law is coming to see me!

His tone was as smug as could be.

The other party didn't reply for a long time. Qi Hao quickly sent a message on WeChat: Cousin, Sister-in-law said that she's going to attend some film premiere and has to dress up. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Do you want to see her in makeup and a gown? Do you want me to take a beautiful photo of her for you and send it to you?

There was still no reply; his cousin was probably busy.

Feeling a little like he had been thwarted, Qi Hao couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with his brother. He flipped through his contact list and found someone to help him find a very famous makeup artist to come and do his sister-in-law's makeup. He also asked another party to prepare a perfect, high-class gown.

The other party immediately agreed respectfully, but Qi Hao had to provide the size.

Qi Hao simply estimated the size and sent a photo of his sister-in-law. Of course, her face was pixelated. If his cousin knew that he had sent his sister-in-law's photo to another man without concealing her face, he would probably kill him. It was better for Qi Hao not to take the risk.

After arranging everything, Qi Hao waited for his sister-in-law to come.

Speaking of which, neither he nor his cousin had ever seen his sister-in-law dressed up. He was too curious about how she would look dressed up.

Qi Hao thought about it and felt that his cousin would be dumbstruck no matter what.

When he contacted the person who would be providing the gown, Qi Hao repeatedly emphasized that the gown had to be perfect, unique and stunning; these requirements simply made the other party want to curse.

Chi Shuyan was in a taxi at that moment, and didn't know how domineering Qi Hao, this rascal, was being. She didn't think much about the dress, and just hoped that it was something formal enough. She didn't care at all. After all, she wasn't the main lead, and was just a nobody. It was fine as long as she didn't embarrass herself. She didn't ask for much.

Soon, she arrived at the Qi residence. Chi Shuyan got out of the car at the gate. The gate of the Qi residence was always heavily guarded. There were many guards at the gate, and ordinary people would have to repeatedly be checked and have their fingerprints taken when they entered.

Chi Shuyan was a regular visitor to the Qi residence, so there was no problem with her entry. It was just that the gate was a little far from the villa. After walking for a long while, she called Qi Hao and said that she had arrived. When she reached the villa, she saw familiar faces. Who else could it be, but Grandpa and Qi Hao?

Qi Hao was supporting the old man, and the two looked like they were about to go out. Chi Shuyan's eyes lit up, and she called out with a bright smile, "Grandpa, Haozi!"
