Chapter 872: Secret Technique I Did Not Deceive You

Lu Xuening felt a slight shock in her heart.

Sima Liuyue had indeed told her before not to come out without her permission.

“I’m sorry, Miss Sima, I have been staying inside the house for so long, it was really stuffy, so I came out for a walk.”

“Do you know that if someone from Mu Xiaojiu’s side saw you walking outside, it would cause a lot of trouble?”

Although she had specifically instructed no one to come near this yard, what if someone really did see her?

This woman really couldn’t give her peace of mind.

If it weren’t for the fact that she still valued her technical skills, she would have thrown her back into the sea long ago.

“I understand, Miss Sima, it won’t happen again,” Lu Xuening hastily apologized, “I…”

Before she could finish, Sima Liuyue had already passed her and was heading towards the cabin.

Lu Xuening hurriedly followed behind and caught up with her.

Once inside the cabin, Sima Liuyue sat down next to the table, picked up a cup, poured herself a drink, and gulped it down.

Lu Xuening didn’t know what was wrong with Sima Liuyue or why she was so angry.

Just as she was thinking about how to appease her, Sima Liuyue spoke up.

“Are you playing me?” Her words carried a hint of dangerous nuance.

Lu Xuening quickly shook her head, responding, “No, not at all.”

“The hypnotism you taught me doesn’t seem to work, aren’t you playing me?”

Relieved that it was just about this, Lu Xuening let out a sigh—it was something she had anticipated.

“Miss Sima, the hypnotism I taught you is indeed Bei Miao’s secret technique, I didn’t deceive you.”

“Then tell me, why doesn’t it work well when I use it on others?”

Saying this with a bit of anger, she recounted the recent events to Lu Xuening.

Earlier today, Sima Liuyue had a meeting with a client to discuss a contract for a new project.

However, the client had higher demands than what the Sima Family could meet with their sample products.

If they couldn’t meet the demands, the client might sign the contract with another company.

The contract was substantial, and the Sima Family did not want to lose it.

Thus, Sima Liuyue wanted to use the newly learned hypnotism to hypnotize the client to get him to sign the contract.

Unexpectedly, a few seconds after being hypnotized, just as the client was picking up the pen to sign the contract under Sima Liuyue’s instructions, he suddenly woke up.

When the client regained consciousness, he sensed something odd but wasn’t sure, so he found an excuse to halt the meeting and prepared to leave.

Fortunately, Sima Liuyue, experienced in such matters, negotiated with the client for a while and eventually convinced him to give the Sima Family more time to prepare and submit a new product sample.

Tonight, the client was still a guest at the Sima household, right in the front yard.

But, it seemed that the client had developed some prejudices against Sima Liuyue and was reluctant to talk with her.

With nothing to do, she was really stifling a bellyful of anger and wanted to vent on someone!

After hearing all this, Lu Xuening gave a slight smile.

“Miss Sima, you might not know, but the effect of hypnotism can vary from person to person.”

“If the individual has strong willpower, then it’s quite difficult to hypnotize them.”

Hearing this, Sima Liuyue abruptly stood up.

“What? If that’s the case, then what’s the use of learning this hypnotism from you?”

Lu Xuening heard the threatening tone in her voice.

The underlying implication from Sima Liuyue was likely that if Lu Xuening’s value was gone, she surely wouldn’t keep her here any longer.
