"Uncle Ma, what can this phone call prove?"
After saying this, Ma Shuai hung up the phone, and his actions amused me.
Ma Shuai chuckled, ignored me, and dialed another number. Once connected, he said, "Little Shan, Yingzi is bringing the child to visit me tonight, you should come too!"
"Yes, at my little courtyard!"
After speaking, Ma Shuai hung up the phone.
"Uncle Ma, what do you mean? What can these two calls prove?"
I was even more confused.
"What can they prove?"
Ma Shuai smiled, stood up, patted my shoulder, and said, "You'll find out tonight!"
"So mysterious!"
I muttered, not taking it seriously.
At five in the afternoon, Little Shan arrived as Ma Shuai mentioned.
"Come, Little Shan, let me introduce you. This is Feng Shisan, from a family of Daoist doctors. The Feng family and our Ma family have been friends for decades!"
Ma Shuai directly introduced me to Little Shan.
"Brother Shan!"
I extended my hand and called him brother.
This Little Shan looked to be in his thirties, so calling him brother wasn't a loss.
"Little Feng, you didn't recognize who Brother Shan is, did you?"
Seeing my polite demeanor, Ma Shuai smiled.
"I didn't recognize him!"
I shook my head.
"Ha, I'm just a washed-up soccer player, retired, so it's normal not to recognize me!" Little Shan said.
"A soccer player?"
I looked at Little Shan suspiciously, then suddenly realized, "You're Gao Shan?"
"It's me!"
Gao Shan nodded with a smile.
In that moment, I understood what Ma Shuai meant by people being unable to control their own fate in the world.
Since Little Shan was Gao Shan, then it was obvious who Yingzi was.
Yingzi was Ye Yingzi, the superstar Ye Yingzi.
As far as I knew, Gao Shan and Ye Yingzi had just announced their breakup recently, ending their ten-year relationship.
From the reports, their breakup wasn't pretty.
Gao Shan was always called a playboy, never short of women around him.
And Ye Yingzi, she was a superstar singer.
With Ye Yingzi's status, she wasn't lacking in men.
But for these ten years, Ye Yingzi seemed to be under a spell, sticking with the repeatedly unfaithful Gao Shan, staying with him without asking for a title. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
What was she after?
Many people couldn't understand this pair.
When they broke up recently, most of Ye Yingzi's fans were cheering.
Yet this pair, who had already broken up, was called over by Ma Shuai with just one phone call.
Is this what Ma Shuai meant by people being unable to control their own fate?
An hour later, Ye Yingzi arrived with the child.
"Big brother, you really know how to make people run around. I flew here as soon as you called!"
As soon as Ye Yingzi entered the courtyard, she shouted.
Upon entering, she saw Gao Shan and was momentarily stunned, but quickly regained her composure and greeted him, "Oh, Gao Shan is here too!"
After speaking, she put the child down and said, "Go, play with your dad!"
"I called Little Shan here!"
Ma Shuai smiled and said, "Just because you're broken up doesn't mean you're enemies. Little Shan is still the child's father!"
"Big brother, I understand!"
Ye Yingzi nodded, showing no displeasure.
"Yingzi, let me introduce someone to you!"
Ma Shuai pointed at me and said, "This is Feng Shisan, you can call him Little Feng, he's a junior of mine!"
"Little Feng, you can call me Sister Ying!"
Ye Yingzi immediately smiled and came over to shake my hand.
"Sister Ying!" I greeted her with a smile.
"Big brother, is Little Feng trying to break into the entertainment industry?"
After the greeting, Ye Yingzi looked at Ma Shuai.
"No!"
Ma Shuai shook his head and said, "Yingzi, Little Feng is from a family of Daoist doctors, his acupuncture skills are extraordinary, and he's best at helping people maintain their health. Without Little Feng and his grandfather's care, my old bones would have been useless long ago!"
"Oh, Little Feng has such skills? Why don't you check Sister Ying's pulse and see how my health is!" Ye Yingzi looked me up and down and directly extended her wrist.
I didn't hesitate, placed my fingers on her wrist, and after a few seconds, said, "Sister Ying, have you been experiencing insomnia and anxiety lately?"
"Yes, what else?" Ye Yingzi was a bit surprised, not expecting me to be so skilled.
"Is your waist often sore?"
"Yes!"
"Frequent urination?"
"Yes!"
"Little Feng, you really know your stuff!"
The more I spoke, the brighter Ye Yingzi's eyes became.
"Yingzi, you thought I was joking, but Little Feng is genuinely from a family of Daoist doctors!" Ma Shuai interjected.
"Sister Ying, you have a deficiency of kidney essence leading to severe lack of qi and blood, and your meridians are somewhat damaged!"
I released her wrist and said.
"How can it be resolved?" Ye Yingzi asked.
Compared to the beginning, her attitude was much more serious.
"I'll be staying with Uncle Ma for a while. If you have time, I can give you acupuncture treatments!" I said.
"I'm really short on time right now!" Ye Yingzi said helplessly.
"If you don't have time, I can prescribe a formula for you. You can get the herbs according to the prescription and take them for half a month. After that, I'll check your pulse again and adjust the prescription!" I said.
"That's fine, no problem!" Ye Yingzi agreed to the plan.
"Also, you need to adjust your routine, don't stay up late, and try to smoke less!" I said.
"I'll try my best!" Ye Yingzi said, a bit troubled.
"Yingzi, Little Feng has opened a clinic in the capital. If you have friends with health issues, refer them to Little Feng!" Ma Shuai said.
"No problem!" Ye Yingzi agreed readily.
For the next two hours, Ye Yingzi and her family showed us what it meant to be a happy family.
"Alright, it's getting late, let's call it a night!"
After eating and drinking, Ma Shuai waved his hand.
"Big brother, once I'm done with work in a couple of days, I'll bring Xiao Bao to see you again!"
Ye Yingzi said with a smile.
Gao Shan also stood up and said he'd come over when he had time.
"Little Feng, did you understand?"
After the family of three left, Ma Shuai took a sip of tea and asked calmly.
"Uncle, are you trying to tell me that being able to summon and dismiss this already separated family at will is what it means to be unable to control one's fate in the world?" I asked coldly.
"Little Feng, this isn't about being unable to control one's fate, it's about power overwhelming people!"
Ma Shuai said.
"Then what does it mean to be unable to control one's fate?" I asked.
"I'll tell you what it means to be unable to control one's fate!"
Ma Shuai smiled, his expression suddenly turning cold, and said, "Being unable to control one's fate is when Ye Yingzi clearly doesn't like or love Gao Shan, yet she has to be with him without a title, under the puzzled eyes of her fans and the world, and even have a child with him!"
"What?"
Hearing this, I opened my mouth wide and asked, "Uncle, are you saying that Ye Yingzi was forced to be with Gao Shan?"
"What do you think?"
Ma Shuai smiled faintly.
