1843 To Summon the Gods and the Ghosts

Ye Qianqian was very clear in her speech as she laid bare her entire family history in front of the Shens.

Shen Zhilie quietly tightened his arm around her waist as a gesture of consolation and support.

Ye Qianqian glanced at Shen Zhilie and continued. "When I was in high school, my grandmother was very ill and needed medical treatment for a few years. After suffering through years of her ailment, she finally couldn't hold on anymore, and passed away. My family was very poor then, and I had no choice but to leave town to seek employment in order to pay for my living expenses and school fees. When I was in university, I almost dropped out. Fortunately, my best friend came to my aid, allowing me to get to where I am today. Grandma, does such a life sound like one of fortune to you?"

Ye Qianqian was very firm in her resolve. She looked Old Mrs. Shen squarely in the eye and spoke every word in an unquestionable tone.
