When Ruan Qi found out the price of the bottle of purified water, she glanced at the oblivious Tang Beibei and quietly looked away.
It could be seen from such a small detail that Jiang Jingchen really doted on his woman.
It was just bottled water. He ordered 199-yuan bottles for everyone but gave Tang Beibei one that cost more than 500 yuan. Just so Tang Beibei didnât find out, he tore off the label on the bottle and put it in a very cheap plastic bag.
Sigh, such a dedicated husband. She didnât need a full one, just half of someone like Jiang Jingchen!
Two hours later, their dance training ended. Tang Beibei wiped her sweat as she packed up quickly.
Ruan Qi saw that she was in a hurry and asked, âWhatâs going on?â
âIâm afraid that my husband will come over to wait for me, so Iâm hurrying.â
Ruan Qi did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw her carry her school bag and ran. âBeibei, your coat. Sigh.â
Ruan Qi picked up Tang Beibeiâs coat from the floor and chased after her. When she was outside the dance studio, she shivered.
Only then did she realize that it was raining.
When the autumn rain fell, winterâs icy grip was on its heels. The temperature had dropped.
She had just finished exercising and was sweating profusely. The cold wind made her shiver.
But she didnât go back inside but put the coat on Tang Beibei. âWhatâs the hurry? Put on your coat. Itâs cold outside.â
Tang Beibei didnât expect it to rain. She shrunk her shoulders and put on her coat.
âItâs cold out. You go back inside. Iâll wait for my husband here.â
Ruan Qi saw her looking in the distance with a face full of anticipation. The thought of having someone who would wait for her at home or come and pick her up warmed her heart.
âAlright, Iâll go back inside. 1 donât want to watch your lovey-dovey anyway.â
Tang Beibei suddenly thought of something and turned to ask, âQiqi, did you bring an umbrella?â
âNo, Iâll wait here until the rain stops.â
Song Zhou pulled up shortly after. Jiang Jingchen got out of the car with an umbrella and put his arm around Tang Beibeiâs shoulders.
âSorry, it rained suddenly and there was a car accident on the way. Are you feeling very cold?â
âItâs alright.â Tang Beibei got into the car first. She watched him put away the umbrella and then looked at Song Zhou in the driverâs seat.
âSong Zhou, are you busy later?â
âYoung Madam, tell me what you need.â
âUm, can you help me bring an umbrella to Ruan Qi? She didnât bring an umbrella and plan to leave only after the rain stops.â
Song Zhou thought for a moment and said, âIâll send both of you home first, and then bring her some dinner and send her home later.â
âThank you, Song Zhou.â Tang Beibei happily sent a message to Ruan Qi.
Jiang Jingchen was surprised to hear Song Zhou volunteer to bring food for a girl and raised his eyebrows at him.
Song Zhou rubbed his nose, sat up straight, and focused on driving.
To celebrate the cooperation with Yang Hao, Old Master Song held a celebration party at a five-star hotel.
Yang Hao chatted with everyone for a while before he raised his glass and said to Old Master Song, âOld Master Song, last time when I said that your grandsonâs born unlucky, I felt that I was too rash and might have upset you. Iâm here to apologize.â
Old Master Song saw him down his wine and responded politely with a smile, âMr. Yang, itâs a small matter. These things donât exist if you donât believe them.â
Yang Hao smiled and nodded. âYes, yes. Iâve been doing business for a long time and 1 like to invest. Every time before 1 invest, 1 would ask someone to divine if itâs a good investment. This partnership of ours has been divined as good but my Feng Shui master said that he would like to read your younger grandsonâs Bazi. Consider this a chance to clear your grandsonâs name and my apology to you.â
Without waiting for Old Master Songâs agreement, Yang Hao called the Feng Shui master he invited over and asked Old Master Song for his grandsonâs Bazi.
âYouâre the astrologer, Mr. Zhao. Youâre an expert.â
People tended to respect the occult more as they aged.
Old Master Song hadnât been in good health recently, so he valued these things even more.
He had heard about this Mr. Zhao.
He was very famous in the Feng Shui industry and had done many successful cases before.
It was said that although this person helped people with Feng Shui, when he was young, he graduated from a famous university and studied geography and Zen Buddhism. He became interested in metaphysics later and became a Feng Shui master.
Mr. Zhao was in his fifties, but he looked peppy and was well-dressed. He looked to be in his forties at most.
âYou flatter me, Old Master Song. Yang Hao asked me here to do something, so Iâm here to work today.â
âThen Iâll have to trouble you.â Old Master Song was hesitant initially but since it was Mr. Zhao, he didnât hesitate and gave him his grandsonâs Bazi.
Mr. Zhao read Song Kaiâs Bazi and took out a few copper coins from his pocket, tossed them into the air and caught them.
He then opened his palm and let everyone see the heads or tails of each coin.
Three copper coins, two tails and one heads.
Mr. Zhao sighed. âAlthough this young master has lived in a wealthy family since he was young, his life is hard with a bit of malice. He brings bad luck to his parents or siblings.â
Old Master Songâs eyes turned red when he heard that Song Kai brought bad luck to his parents and siblings.
If it werenât for Song Kaiâs existence, his son wouldnât have died.
âMaster, is there a way to cure it?â
Mr. Zhao said solemnly, âThere is a way since the coin flip resulted in two tails and one heads. If he married a woman with good fortune who can suppressed his hard luck, not only will he have a successful career, but his entire family will also prosper.â
Song Hai quickly said, âSong Kai is getting engaged to Lu Linlin. Is Lu Linlin a woman with good fortune?â
Mr. Zhao said, âI can only tell you if I have her Bazi.â
Old Master Song quickly called Lu Huai to ask for Lu Linlinâs Bazi.
After Mr. Zhao got Lu Linlinâs Bazi, his expression changed drastically when he read it.
âNot good. Itâs very bad. This woman is the source of fire and a jinx. If she marries this young master, their fates will change drastically. In the worst case, their marriage will cause bankruptcy and death.â
Old Master Songâs face contorted. âMaster, are you saying that they shouldnât get married?â
âYoung masterâs life element is wood while this womanâs is fire. Their natal charts are not compatible. Not only should they not be married, but young master should also stay away from her. Otherwise, a disaster will befall and bring bad luck to the people around the young master.â
Song Hai cursed angrily, âIt must be because of Lu Linlin that my last project went south.â
Old Master Songâs face was gloomy. Many annoying things indeed happened in the Song family after Song Kai and Lu Linlin met.
It seemed that Song Kai and Lu Linlinâs engagement had to be called off.
Old Master Song asked anxiously, âMaster Zhao, how can we improve the fortune for the Song family?â
Mr. Zhao glanced at Yang Hao, who shook his head. Mr. Zhao smiled at Old Master Song and said, âIâm really sorry, Old Master Song. I promised Mr. Yang to read the young masterâs fortune and my task has been completed. If you have other questions, you can make an appointment with me, and weâll talk in detail.â
âOkay, okay. Iâll exchange contact information with Mr. Zhao then.â Old Master Song said excitedly.
Mr. Zhao replied with a smile, âOld Master, youâre Mr. Yangâs business partner and friend. Of course, Iâll give you my contact information. Iâll also give you a discount and try to move your appointment up. After all, Iâm fully booked for the year. Please pardon my busyness.â
âNo, no, Mr. Zhaoâs advice is highly sought after.â
Mr. Zhao stepped back, and Yang Hao went forward and joked with Old Master Song. âI had a bad feeling before. Sigh, 1 didnât expect the reading to turn up like this. Fortunately, I asked Master Zhao here to help me read further, or I might lose my investment if disaster befall on Chu Group or Song Enterprise.â
Old Master Song was feeling a little embarrassed, but he smiled and thanked Yang Hao politely.
After the celebration party ended, Old Master Song called Song Kai over to talk about calling off his engagement with Lu Linlin..
