Ye Mo walked downstairs and soon saw the Old Master Gu that Ye Lin had mentioned.
In that instant, several adjectives flashed through her mind: nearing the end of life, frail and old, like the setting sun...
Ye Mo paused slightly, then walked over with a normal expression.
"This is my younger sister Ye Mo..." Ye Lin introduced them, " Momo, this is Old Master Gu. The Gu Family and our family have been friends for generations..."
Ye Mo smiled and nodded, " Old Mr. Gu."
Old Master Gu was a thin, pale-faced old man. Ye Mo noticed several bluish-black marks on the back of his withered hands, which were marks from intravenous drips.
In her mind, 888 enthusiastically recounted the grudges and feuds of the Gu Family: "... Old Master Gu was quite the womanizer in his youth. He kept a stable wife at home while having many mistresses on the side, resulting in him having so many illegitimate children that you could fill a truck..."
With so many illegitimate children, grudges and feuds become a constant source of conflict. This is especially true for a wealthy family like the Gu Family family, with its vast wealth. Whether they are legitimate children or illegitimate children, everyone is eyeing the Gu Family's prized possession, each wanting a piece of the pie. This intensifies the struggles among the children, particularly as Old Master Gu's health has declined year by year.
"This old man came to you wanting you to help him calculate which of his many children is the most responsible and suitable to succeed him as the Gu Family of the family..."
As expected, not long after 888 finished speaking, Old Master Gu in front of Ye Mo coughed lightly and said, "I have many children, thirteen sons and five daughters, but judging from their appearance, they all seem to be of little use. If I were to hand over the Gu Group to them, I'm afraid it wouldn't be long before the Gu Group is finished..."
After some polite pleasantries, the old man finally explained his purpose, "I've heard that Miss Ye Mo is Divine Calculator, so I'd like to ask you to help me calculate whether any of my children are capable of shouldering the responsibilities of the Gu Group."
Upon hearing this, Ye Mo's expression became subtle, and Ye Lin's expression also changed slightly.
"Grandpa," Ye Lin laughed, speaking in a joking tone, "Isn't it a bit too frivolous of you to ask my sister for help with such an important matter?"
Old Master Gu looked at Ye Mo and said, "I've heard that Miss Ye is a once-in-a-century Divine Calculator. I believe in Miss Ye's abilities."
Ye Mo:... But I'm fake. I just have a Gossip System.
As he spoke, his secretary took out a card from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table. Old Master Gu said, "I won't let Miss Ye help for nothing. There's five million in this card. As long as Miss Ye is willing to help, this five million is hers."
Five million...
Ye Mo admitted that he was attracted to her.
Old Master Gu: "I know that five million isn't much to Miss Ye..."
No, five million is nothing to me, Ye Mo denied in his heart.
"I only hope Miss Ye will help me, considering my imminent death..." Old Master Gu said gravely, "Our Gu Family's century-old foundation, I really don't want it to be destroyed because of me."
Ye Mo thought for a moment and said, "I can indeed tell fortunes, but you should have heard of my rules, Old Master Gu. I only tell fortunes about the present and the past... So, as for which of your children is capable of supporting everyone, I'm afraid I can't help you."
Old Master Gu looked disappointed.
"However..." Ye Mo changed the subject, "I can remind you of a few things, such as investigating the interpersonal relationships of the lawyer beside you, or checking the medication you're currently taking; it might be very helpful."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Gu's expression hardened and became solemn.
"I understand." The old man stood up and said, "I apologize for disturbing Miss Ye today." His attitude was extremely polite.
Ye Mo pushed the card forward, indicating, "Since I couldn't help you, please take this card back."
Old Master Gu gave a slight smile and said, "If what Miss Ye said is true, then it's already a huge help to me... so please accept this card."
Ye Mo smiled and didn't refuse again. As soon as Old Master Gu left, she moved quickly, with a decisiveness that was completely inconsistent with her previous humility and honesty, and directly took the card in her hand.
Ye Lin found it somewhat amusing and said, "I thought you really didn't want the five million."
Ye Mo replied, "Those two sentences I said should be worth five million, right? I saved his life."
She took the money without any hesitation.
"But why would this old man come to me for fortune telling?" she asked curiously. "Is my reputation as Divine Calculator already that great?"
Ye Lin looked at her meaningfully and said, "Don't you know? Everyone's saying that the Ye Family's newly found daughter is all-knowing and all-powerful, a true divine Divine Calculator."
The card fell from Ye Mo's hand. She quickly caught it, pointed at herself, and asked, "Me? Where did such an outrageous rumor come from?"
Ye Lin glanced at her. "Have you forgotten about the fortune teller you did at the party? You were accurate; if word got out, the whole world would know!"
Ye Mo: "... I remember now."
She initially used fortune-telling as an excuse to explain the information she received from 888, but now... everyone actually believes her?!
Ye Mo fell into deep thought.
She thought about it carefully. Although her Divine Calculator were fake, only she and 888 knew the truth. Most importantly, she could guarantee that all the "fortune-tellings" she gave were genuine. So, how could it not be Divine Calculator?
Ye Mo suddenly understood.
"It seems I really am Divine Calculator!" she said to Ye Lin.
Ye Lin: What's wrong with you?
*
Of all the things that happened when Old Master Gu came to visit her, Ye Mo only had a deep impression of the five million. After transferring the five million to her card, she habitually counted the number of digits in her account, and then she contentedly put the matter out of her mind.
So when Old Master Gu came to thank her again with generous gifts, she didn't even think of this matter at first.
"Thanks to Miss Ye's reminder, I discovered the wolfish ambitions of the kids down there." Old Master Gu's face was somewhat grim, tinged with the dejection of someone who had suffered a major blow. He said, "I only just found out that my lawyer had long ago colluded with one of my sons to alter my will, and they even switched the medications I usually take..."
Ye Mo: "However, in the end, it seems you were just lucky and your skills were superior."
Old Master Gu sighed, "This is all thanks to Miss Ye..."
Ye Mo only learned what happened to the Gu Family from Ye Lin. He didn't know what they had found out, Old Master Gu was furious and sent several of his sons to jail. The Gu Family's affairs caused a great stir and were widely discussed in high society.
In all these events involving the Gu Family, Ye Mo's name is extremely prominent.
" Old Master Gu said it himself; he consulted the real daughter of the Ye Family for a fortune telling, and only then did he realize the wolfish ambitions of his subordinates, thus escaping a calamity... Is this Miss Ye really Divine Calculator?"
Everyone was surprised and greatly shocked. After all, although some people had said that Ye Mo was Divine Calculator, many people were skeptical. But now, Old Master Gu was a living example.
Now, Ye Mo's reputation as Divine Calculator has spread far and wide.
According to Ye Lin, countless people have come to him recently, wanting him to tell Ye Mo fortunes—everyone is afraid of death, and the wealthy are even more afraid of death, so they are even more eager to seek out " Divine Calculator."
Therefore, without Ye Mo's knowledge, her status Divine Calculator was gradually rising.
However, the Ye Family did not allow these people to disturb Ye Mo. Even when they tried to establish connections and build relationships, the Ye Family remained unmoved.
