Chapter 1700 - 1700 Lucky Man
1700 Lucky Man
Yao Rong’s eyes were shockingly bright at that moment as she stared unblinkingly at the Master in front of her. She was very excited and hoped the Master could repeat what she said about the child in her stomach being a blessing.
Yao Rong was excited, and so was Ni Zhaoyang. The way he looked at Chi Shuyan completely changed. There was less hostility and more anticipation and friendliness. On the other hand, Mother Ni’s eyes flashed. For a moment, she didn’t know whether to believe the words of this Master or Master Yuan.
Mother Ni’s eyes were still filled with hesitation and disbelief. She gritted her teeth and couldn’t help but say, “Mas Master, why don’t you take another look?”
Mother Ni was afraid that the Master in front of her had seen wrongly. Thinking this, she revealed the couple’s birth characters to Master Chi, and hoped that she would help them divine their marriage fate.
On the side, Father Ni also looked expectantly at the Master in front of him. He no longer looked as depressed as before, and his eyes were very bright.
Although the Master was introduced by Mother Xia and Xia Mingcheng, they were still outsiders, after all, and it wasn’t good to directly interfere in the Ni family’s affairs. They could only sit on the side and listen to the Master quietly.
Chi Shuyan didn’t let the Ni family down. Under the nervous gazes of the Ni family, she said again, “The couple’s birth characters are very compatible; they are a match made in heaven, and it is a blissful union. If the couple really split up and they each look for another marriage partner in the future, they will never find a more suitable person!”
There was no need to mention how grateful the couple was to the Xia family and the Master whom they had recommended. They no longer felt the least bit disgusted.
Father Ni was also quite excited, but what he was more concerned about was what the Master had just said about his daughter-in-law’s child being able to bring prosperity to the Ni family. If that was true, then they absolutely couldn’t abort this child. Father Ni kept looking at his daughter-in-law’s stomach, his thoughts all on the child.
“Impossible!” Mother Ni’s sharp voice suddenly rang out. Of course, it wasn’t that Mother Ni didn’t want her son and future daughter-in-law to be fine, but she trusted Master Yuan very much, so when this other Master said the opposite, Mother Ni was naturally still more inclined to believe Master Yuan.
No one knew Master Yuan’s abilities better than her, and a jinx wasn’t a small matter. Mother Ni still didn’t want her son to take the risk.
If not for the fact that the Master in front of her had been introduced by Mother Xia, Mother Ni would have outright said that the other party was very likely a swindler.
Chi Shuyan wasn’t surprised by Mother Ni’s reaction. Her expression was very calm, but Mother Xia was unhappy. She used to think that Yuan Yuan was a capable woman, but after meeting Master Chi, she realized what a true Master was like.
She had a strong feeling that if the Ni family didn’t believe Master Chi, and really aborted the child in Yao Rong’s stomach, everyone in the Ni family, including Mother Ni, would definitely regret it in the future.
Afraid that Mother Ni would say something she shouldn’t, Mother Xia immediately dialed her husband’s number. After the call went through, she immediately handed the phone to Father Ni and told him to have a good talk with Old Xia.
Father Ni took the call with Father Xia very seriously. He excused himself to answer the call. Chi Shuyan wasn’t annoyed with Mother Xia for taking matters into her own hands. As soon as Father Ni left the table, Mother Ni still wanted to say something, but she swallowed her words.
Mother Ni listened to Mother Xia praise the Master in front of her. “If Master Chi wasn’t capable, would I have introduced her to you? We’ve known each other for many years, and you know what my temper is like. If Master Chi really were an incompetent Master, I would have never mentioned her to you. Master Chi has said that the two children are definitely a match made in heaven. Besides, Xiao Rong looks like a particularly blessed person to me. If your eldest son hadn’t made a move earlier, I would have gotten my Mingcheng to marry her!”
Mother Xia wasn’t lying. After learning from Master Chi that Yao Rong could help her husband prosper and that the child she was pregnant with was a blessing, Mother Xia really wished that this daughter-in-law belonged to the Xia family. If the Ni family didn’t want such a good daughter-in-law, she didn’t know what to say about the Ni family.
It was a pity that Xiao Rong wasn’t fated to be with her Mingcheng. Now that the Ni family had a child, Xiao Rong was destined not to marry into the Xia family.
Mother Xia’s heart bled even as she comforted Mother Ni. This child had such a good family background and was simply her dream daughter-in-law. She couldn’t be any more satisfied with her. She kept looking at her. Ni Zhaoyang immediately stared at the Xia mother and son vigilantly. On the other hand, Yao Rong heaved a sigh of relief at Mother Xia’s words, and her complexion improved a lot so that it wasn’t as pale and scary as before.
Perhaps because Mother Xia was too good at brainwashing, Mother Ni finally didn’t say anything else.
The atmosphere was a little lighter now. Chi Shuyan also curled her lip and suddenly asked Mother Ni, “If I’m not wrong, your Ni family has experienced many happy events in the last two or three months?”
Father Ni had just come back from answering the phone call. Thinking carefully, his eyes lit up. Before Mother Ni could speak, he immediately replied, “Indeed, Master!”
Father Ni’s tone was much more respectful than earlier.
Chi Shuyan curled her lip and continued, “Did your company bid for a new piece of land in the south of the city recently?”
Father Ni’s eyes turned even brighter. It had to be pointed out that news of this hadn’t been released yet, and the company had worked on this in secret. It was an extremely strategic location, so this tender was very important to the Ni family, and the competition was very intense. The Ni family didn’t have an advantage, and Father Ni had been feeling uncertain over this bid. He was about to seize this opportunity to ask Master Chi for some pointers, when he heard her say, “There should be good news soon!”
Father Ni:
“Think carefully. Ever since your daughter-in-law got pregnant, a lot of good things have happened to the Ni family. If your Ni family really wants to abort this child, I can only say that the gains don’t make up for the losses. If your Ni family still wants to find such a filial and virtuous daughter-in-law in the future, I’m afraid it’ll be difficult and impossible!”
As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, Father Ni hurriedly said with lingering fear, “Master, we won’t abort my precious grandchild. We won’t! Definitely not!”
