Chapter 32 Vicious Aura

1323 Words
    "Such vicious aura..." Jacob Ye was shocked and immediately found the problem.     This Blossom Spring Painting was a painting by Kevin Lin himself. He liked calligraphy and painting and was very confident in his own work. Jacob Ye's praise immediately made Kevin Lin feel good.     But he did not notice the change in Jacob Ye's expression.     He laughed loudly and said, "I didn't expect Jacob to be a man of good taste. This painting was painted by me, not qualified to be shown to others."     He was in a really good mood. Usually, he would be busy making more business, as Cole Lin's friends were all from the government. Most of them were not interested in art. None that knew art as much as Jacob Ye.     The two of them chatted happily and it was time for dinner.     A middle-aged woman came in and said with a smile, "Kevin, look at you talking endlessly. It's time to eat."     This middle-aged woman was Cole Lin's mother, Rachel Shen.     Kevin Lin patted his head and said, "I forget, Jacob, let’s have dinner and taste your aunt's cooking." as he went to wash his hands.     Cole Lin asked, "How was it?"     Jacob Ye glanced at the ancient painting on the side of the Plum Blossom Painting and said calmly, "The problem is in that painting."     "This is a painting my father just bought. He likes it very much. Is there anything wrong with it?" Cole Lin asked.     "Vicious aura." Jacob Ye said. Meanwhile, the food had been served.     Jacob Ye gave Cole Lin a reassuring expression and then went to the bathroom to wash his hands.     Although the Lin family has tens of billions worth of assets, except for their luxurious villa, there was nothing extraordinary about their lifestyle. There was not even a servant in the house. Everything was done by Cole Lin's mother.     It’s undeniable that Cole Lin's mother was good at cooking. Although it was not lavish, the dishes were exquisite and delicious, which made Jacob Ye praise her profusely.     Although Kevin Lin didn't understand why his son brought a person with no family background to visit, Cole Lin's parents knew that there must be something unusual about the person his son brought back.     After eating, Kevin Lin put down his chopsticks, took out a bottle of medicine, shook out a white coloured pill, and took it.     Jacob Ye put down his chopsticks and said, "Uncle, it's not good to treat your migraine problem with sleeping pills. In the long run, it will get worse and worse."     Kevin Lin was stunned. He did not know how Jacob Ye knew that he had migraine. His son would not have told him this. He looked at Cole Lin surreptitiously. Cole Lin shook his head, indicating that he had not said anything.     "Jacob, how did you know that I suffer from migraines?" Kevin Lin put down the medicine and asked.     Jacob Ye smiled slightly and said, "I also know that uncle has been suffering from migraines a lot. Uncle has seen a lot of doctors, but there is nothing they can do. The migraines will start half an hour after lunch. There is no other way to treat it other than to take the sleeping pills and go to sleep."     Mr. and Mrs. Kevin Lin were shocked as they looked at each other. They didn't understand how Jacob Ye knew so much.     Jacob Ye continued, "If I'm not mistaken, uncle's illness began half a year ago, right?"     Kevin Lin nodded and said, "Yes, it started half a year ago. How do you know about it so clearly?"     Jacob Ye smiled and said, "My grandfather practices traditional Chinese medicine. Since I was a child, I had been learning medical skills from him up until he passed away a few years ago. I felt something was odd about uncle's vital essence, so I made a guess, please don't take it to heart."     Kevin Lin waved his hand and said, "No, you're right."     He sighed, "Just as you said, I started to have this problem half a year ago. Every time after lunch, I get a migraine that feels like my head is splitting open. I visited a lot of doctors, even the experts in capital, but they were of no help."     His problem was strange. It only happens after lunch, and the rest of the time, he felt as normal as ever.     "You are a medical student, Jacob. Since you can see it so clearly, your medical skills must be extraordinary. Perhaps you have a solution for this problem?" Rachel Shen's eyes lit up as she asked.     Jacob Ye smiled and said, "There is a way."     "What is it?" Both of them asked in surprise and delight.     Cole Lin looked at Jacob Ye expectantly. He thought to himself that Jacob Ye's medical skills were indeed extraordinary. He did not even need to feel his father’s pulse and yet could see through his father's medical issues.     Jacob Ye said, "Uncle, strictly speaking, this disease can't be regarded as a disease. Taking medicines wouldn’t cure it. At present, it seems the best way to manage it is to take sleeping pills."     "What do you mean it’s not a disease? Then why do I have this migraine that feels like it will kill me?" They looked at Jacob Ye doubtfully.     "The problem is the painting of the Tang Dynasty lady." Hearing what Jacob Ye had to say, the three of them were startled.     "That painting? Are you kidding? It's just a painting. How could it cause such a strange disease?"     Jacob Ye smiled and said, "Uncle may not know the origin of this painting."     Kevin Lin nodded and said, "This painting was obtained by chance, it was not painted by a Master."     Kevin Lin gestured for Rachel Shen to take down the painting, and then said, "I have always liked painting and calligraphy, I saw that the painting skills on this painting were good, the lady in the painting looked very real, so I bought it."     "Uncle, and when did this strange migraine start?" Jacob Ye asked.     Kevin Lin thought about it and couldn't help but be shocked. He had been having a headache for quite some time. It had been more than half a year, and this painting was bought from a stall half a year ago.     Rachel Shen returned and said, "This strange migraine has been going on for half a year."     Kevin Lin nodded and looked at Jacob Ye, indicating for him to continue.     Jacob Ye placed the painting on the table and said, "Actually, this painting is the work of an old man who was depressed. He is talented and had no recognition. He is most satisfied with this painting of his before he died. The resentment he had when he died was attached to this painting. Eventually the resentment turned into a vicious aura."     As soon as Jacob Ye spoke, Kevin Lin and his wife were shocked.     "Vicious aura... Isn’t this superstition?" Kevin Lin had never believed in those strange theories, so he was a little displeased.     Rachel Shen pushed him and said, "Don't interrupt, listen to what Jacob has to say, some things are worth believing."     Cole Lin also said, "Yes, Dad, listen to what Jacob has to say."     Jacob Ye continued, "Of course, vicious aura is indeed a superstition. But according to traditional Chinese medicine, people have all kinds of aura. When the owner of this painting did not gain any recognition for his talents, he attached his aura to it. This invisible aura affected uncle's body and even Cole’s luck."     Kevin Lin was shocked and he was a little moved. He knew that Cole Lin had not been very lucky for half a year, and he also knew that yesterday there had been a car accident. But he would have never believed in such paranormal theories, so he did not relate these things.
