After Reincarnation, The Omnipotent Ancestor Reaches The Top

Chapter 27: Chapter 025: Don’t Judge Things by Their Appearance Only Chapter 27: Chapter 025: Don’t Judge Things by Their Appearance Only After settling the bill, the old man fetched two snake-skin bags from behind and placed them in front of Chloe Stephens.

Chloe raised her eyebrows slightly.

“Check what’s missing.”

The old man was pleased after receiving the money.

Chloe stared at him.

Her gaze was soft.

The old man said, “Little girl, don’t judge a book by its cover.”

The snake-skin bag is just the cover.

The real treasures are inside the snake-skin bag.

“Considering my age, and in this era, you should be wondering how I can afford these things.”

Could she have misunderstood this era?

The old man was stunned.

Ah, so that was her concern.

“When I looked at you, I knew you weren’t ordinary folk.

You could write down a long list of medicinal herbs, you are certainly a doctor, and not an ordinary one.

First you buy silver needles, then medicinal herbs.

I still have some discerning eyes.”

The old man’s eyes flashed with wisdom.

Chloe, through observing a person’s Qi, could predict his future, his life and death.

She was not a fortune teller.

Because when one reaches a certain stage, they could see a person’s luck just by their emitted Qi, which could be termed as a magnetic field, revealing the so-called Qi of future fortune.

And the old man before her, was also not an ordinary person.

Initially, she had found this place based on a “Qi”.

“I’m not a real doctor.”

The little girl picked up the two snake-skin bags, slung them over her shoulder, and left.

The old man watched intensely as the little girl disappeared into the night, his face becoming serious.

The appearance of the little girl provoked a sense of unease in the old man, as if something was about to change.

“Meow.”

The black cat brought two snake-skin bags into the room through the window, and flopped onto the floor with a low protesting whine.

The two snake-skin bags fell on top of it, and it just lay there motionlessly.

Behind the window.

The girl jumped into the window, her feet bending and resting on the window sill.

Her hands didn’t touch the window grills at all, she moved gracefully.

Chloe opened the two snake-skin bags and found out that the old man had given her two more prescriptions.

Medicine refining in this place was really inconvenient.

Once the villa was ready, they would move in.

“Meow.”

Feeling neglected, the black cat came over and rubbed against Chloe’s hand.

While Chloe was busy sorting out the meds, she swung her hand, causing the black cat to hit the wall and fall to the floor.

“Meow~”

A somewhat miserable meow.

From the next room, Yvette Foster, who was just waking up, heard a cat’s cry, looked out of the window a couple of times, but didn’t see anything.

For some reason, she suddenly remembered the black cat that appeared before her daughter woke up that day.

*

The next day at noon.

Chloe returned home to the Fosters’ after lunch.

Wilbert Foster suddenly mentioned he wanted to drive Xavier Foster to school, and would also drop off Hans Foster along the way.

Yvette Foster wanted her daughter to become more independent.

From initially hovering outside the school gate every day, she had gradually let go and put in a lot of effort.

Wilbert Foster offered to drive them all to school, Yvette Foster initially wanted to refuse but ended up agreeing.

When they reached the school gate, Wilbert asked his son and Hans Foster to enter the school first, while he specifically kept Chloe behind.

“Chloe, is it hard studying recently?

I’ve noticed you’ve been spending a lot of time at the internet cafe.

Uncle can buy you a laptop to keep at home…”

Showing unbought kindness means something’s amiss.

“I don’t need it.”

Wilbert continued smiling and said, “Then what do you want?

Uncle will buy it for you.”

Under the tree shade, Chloe stood calmly, her eyes misty, “What do you want?”

Wilbert Foster couldn’t help but size Chloe up, why did it feel like the person who typically seemed out of touch had suddenly become so sane?

He urgently needed money at the moment and didn’t think too much.

He showed Chloe a friendly smile, “Chloe, Uncle needs some money for investment.

After Uncle made money, we can provide a better life for you and your mother.

Just help Uncle this time to get the operation fund.

As long as Chloe helps, wherever you want to go, Uncle can bring you there.

Last time didn’t you mention that you wanted to go to an amusement park?

Once Uncle makes money, he’ll bring you there!”

Chloe looked at Wilbert as if she was looking at a pile of “junk”.

“I’ve said it before, you will lose money.”

She wouldn’t do anything that she knew wouldn’t make money.

Wilbert’s smile stiffened.

“Chloe, Uncle has consulted a fortune teller, this time we will definitely make a fortune.”

Chloe Stephens glanced at him and strode towards the school.

Wilbert Foster hastily stepped forward and pulled her back.

Chloe’s gaze froze instantly.

Wilbert Foster was shocked by her cold stare, and he subconsciously let go of his grip.

Chloe walked into the campus area.

Watching her walk in, Wilbert looked gloomy.

Clenching his fist, he turned and walked away too.

[Little Chloe, at the school entrance.]

Before she had entered the Teaching Building, Chloe saw the message on her mobile phone.

She returned hastily.

“Kate Wiliams, isn’t she a fool?”

Kate Williams had just taken the test papers from the headteacher’s office when she heard Sandra Griffin’s voice and looked over.

Sandra Griffin sneered, “Last time, someone recorded her in the library and asked me if I wanted to spread the video online.

Kate, what do you think I should do with this scandal?”

Kate Williams’ gaze flickered, “Sandra, you’re making claims without any evidence.

I don’t think we should spread it.”

Sandra Griffin didn’t quite understand, “Kate, why are you afraid of her?

Your sister said that was a villa worth several million!

If this matter gets exposed, she’ll be kicked off campus, and that would ruin her chances of taking the middle school exam.”

If she fails the middle school exam, her future is ruined, and she will be thoroughly wasted.

Kate Williams said, “Sandra, we should concentrate on our studies.

Monthly tests are coming up and we shouldn’t get sidetracked by such matters.”

Just as Sandra Griffin was about to say something, she suddenly saw Marcella Thomas and her friends passing by, her eyes sparkled and a smile curved her lips.

“You’re right, we, Class 1, are on top of the pyramid, we should focus on our studies, let others deal with such matters.”

Len Hawthorne threw the cigarette he was holding in his mouth on the ground and extinguished it.

The sunlight shed on his tall, straight figure adding a touch of warmth.

Long, dark eyes smiled, making his handsome face seem a bit mischievous.

“Follow me.”

Chloe followed him into the car.

The car took a turn and stopped.

Len Hawthorne leaned his elbow at the car window, turned his handsome face, “Little Chloe, have you been visiting the internet cafe frequently?”

“Hmm.”

Len Hawthorne’s eyes showed a hint of amusement, “Such a good girl.”

He paused, and then asked: “What’s the deal with the guy at the school entrance?

Need your older brother’s help?”

Chloe glanced at him, “Is there anything else?”

Seeing she didn’t want to talk, Len didn’t pry further, quickly changing the subject, “Stay with your elder brother for a while.”

The moment he finished his sentence, Chloe opened the car door and stepped out.

Len Hawthorne: “…”

She despises me that much?

He took out his mobile phone, dialed a series of numbers, “No need to investigate further.”

Marcella Thomas was watching a video on her mobile in a corner.

She looked up and saw Mason Sullivan and Oliver Gordon coming through the hallway on the other side.

There were no other people around.

Marcella Thomas finished typing what she wanted to send, but when she saw them she backed off.

“Oliver Gordon.”

Oliver Gordon looked back, “What’s up.”

Oliver Gordon was a rather cool and aloof type, on shooting her a glance, Marcella’s heart pounded intensely.

“I received a video message.

You might want to take a look at it.”

Oliver replied, “I’m not interested.”

Mason Sullivan stood nearby, curiously glancing but didn’t go any closer.

“It’s about Chloe, and the video was forwarded from Sandra Griffin who is in Kate’s circle.”

Oliver, who was about to leave, stopped and looked back.

Seeing him turn around, Marcella quickly showed him the phone, playing the video.

“Sponsored!

Can’t be!”

Mason Sullivan was shocked.

He glanced at Oliver Gordon.

Oliver Gordon withdrew his gaze expressionlessly, “Boring.”

Marcella Thomas said, “Aren’t you curious if it’s true?

If it’s real and the video got out, it would become a big deal, and Chloe could be expelled from school.”

Although she said so, Marcella Thomas was secretly thrilled.

If someone else really spread it out, it would definitely cause an explosion.

Sandra Griffin thinks she can use me to spread the video, as if I would fall for it!

Thinking about how she almost sent it just now, Marcella Thomas couldn’t help but feel a cold sweat.

Oliver Gordon didn’t show the slightest curiosity.

He just furrowed his brow and walked away.

Mason Sullivan hurried after him.

“Are you really not curious?

I’m actually curious as to who started this rumor about Chloe.

In the video, Chloe didn’t admit anything.”

Oliver Gordon frowned again.
