around in the courtyard. It was obvious that some residents inside the building had turned into zombies.Lian Ri counted, there were thirteen zombies in the courtyard. Most of them were gathered at the..."Mom, what do you mean How am I supposed to get that Mr. Cheng's attention"
"Yes, and it needs to be natural, not too forced."
The ripples nodded in agreement.
What should I do
"Are you wearing the jade I gave you for protection"
"Wearing it! I didn't even take it off when I showered."
This is something made specially for family members by my mom. He's wearing a white jade Guanyin statue. Even an outsider like me can tell it's a good piece. Normally, he wouldn't let anyone besides his wife see it.
"Find an opportunity to pull the jade Guanyin from your collar and let Mr. Cheng see it, but avoid being seen by people from your unit."
Ripple said calmly.
"Will this work"
"Of course, it's possible. People in Hong Kong are perceptive and believe in Feng Shui. Once you've piqued his interest, when he asks about the origin of your Jade Guanyin, just tell him truthfully that this is what I prepared for you, to bring good luck and safety."
"Can he be trusted"
"You're right about that. If they ask to meet, you should stall first and tell them you'll need to check with me before getting back to them. Just let me know what they say."
The ripples continued to arrange.
"Mom, I understand."
"Alright, you should head back. It's just a few steps away. Da Bao and I can make it back on our own."
The ripples and her son, full of question marks, parted ways. She returned home, confident that this Boss Cheng would definitely be hooked. After all, the things she gave her three children were all carved with spiritual energy, absolutely capable of reaching a level of inheritance.
Three days later, Song Qingchuan went straight to Lian Yi's place after work. He walked in, poured himself a glass of iced tea, and then said to Lian Yi:
"Mom, you are amazing! Since Mr. Cheng saw my jade Guanyin necklace, he had his people approach me to chat and said they wanted to buy it from me. I refused, and then told his assistant what you had said." Let me know if you have anything else you'd like translated!
When I was about to leave work, my assistant rushed over and told me that Mr. Cheng wanted to visit you.
Ripples nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, and said to her son:
"Tell Mr. Cheng tomorrow to come over directly."
"Mom, I'll be with you then."
Song Qingchuan immediately said.
"No, I'm just an old woman. What could they possibly do Just go to work as usual and don't let anyone at your workplace know."
Then I'll come over after work.
Song Qingchuan wasn't at ease, and still decided to come to Lianyi's place after work.
"Fine, if you don't trust me, just come over."
The ripples didn't refuse either.
The next day, Lian Yi sent her grandson away. As she was embroidering in the courtyard, someone knocked on the door.
"Is Old Mrs. Song here"
The accent was a bit off, and the way she addressed him was very old-fashioned. Without even opening the door, the ripples told her who it was. She put down her embroidery needle, got up, and opened the door.
"You are Mr. Cheng."
The ripples glanced at the man in front of him and smiled kindly, opening his mouth.
"Hello, Mrs. Lao, my name is Cheng Gangsheng."
Come in and sit down!
The ripples parted the door, and Cheng Gangsheng walked in with his two assistants. Each assistant carried a gift in their hands, clearly here to pay a visit.
"Sit!"
Four people entered the main hall and sat down at the Eight Immortals table. Cheng Gangsheng then asked his assistant to give the gifts they had brought to Lianyi. Lianyi did not refuse and went straight to the point:
My son said Mr. Cheng wants to see me, because he wants to buy the protective amulets I make.
"Yes, I wonder if Madam would be willing to part with it."
Cheng Gangsheng said with a smile.
"Selling you a talisman for protection is a small thing, but I don't want to ruin my reputation."
"What does this madam mean"
"That means my jade talisman can't protect you."
Liàn Yī took a sip of tea and calmly said.
Cheng Gangsheng was taken aback for a moment, then waved his hand at the two assistants, telling them to wait in the courtyard before he carefully began speaking.
"Did Madam Song see something"
"Do you believe"
Of course, if one didn't believe, they wouldn't come to visit the old woman.
Cheng Gangsheng immediately said.
“You also know the current situation, you can't promote feudal superstition. Just listen to what I say, and when you leave this courtyard, I won't admit it.”
The ripples pretended to speak with profundity.
"Yes, Cheng understands, madam. Please speak."
“I just looked at your face and found that you have a peach blossom calamity. If it's not resolved, it will not only ruin your luck but also affect your career and family.”
"What"
Cheng Gangsheng, hearing the ripples' words, subconsciously touched his face as if he was startled.
With a glance at the other person, ripples continued:
"So-called peach blossom disaster, of course, is caused by women. Just now I have calculated it for you, the calamity in your life is a woman who is thirteen years younger than you, and her name has the character 'Ya'."
However, judging from your face, this woman should be able to bring you good fortune and prosperity in children. I just don't know why she has become a calamity now.
Ripples shook her head.
Now Chenggang was truly astonished. He no longer dared to underestimate Lianyi, after all, he had met Xu Xinyan by chance in the town. After falling head over heels at first sight, he called a feng shui master in Hong Kong and told him her birth date and time.
The master also said that this woman was auspicious for him and could bring him many descendants. So, after learning about Xu Xinya's family background and getting her consent, he went to propose marriage.
Now that he was well off and could support his wife, she had become his downfall. His thoughts raced back and forth, and finally, he tentatively asked:
"Elder Madam, can you resolve this"
"It's not a bad idea, but the best way is to let go of this blossom."
"You even say her fate is good for me, I really don't want to give up."
Cheng Gang said with difficulty.
After all, this girl is really to his taste, and the wedding date has been set. Now that he's saying he wants to give up, he truly can't bear it.
You don't want to give up, and there are ways not to give up, it's just...
Ripples didn't say the rest, she just picked up her teacup and took a sip.
"Rest assured, ma'am. I understand. I'll definitely give you a big red envelope."
Cheng Gangsheng said very politely.
"We don't do that here. If you want to thank me, buy an embroidered piece!"
Ringlets smiled and said.
That's natural, no problem.
Cheng Gangsheng readily agreed.
Then Lian Yi got up and went into her bedroom. After a while, she put something wrapped in a handkerchief in front of Cheng Gangsheng and motioned for him to open it.
Cheng Gangsheng opened his handkerchief and found inside a blood jade bracelet, red and dazzling. At first glance, one could tell it was a treasure.
"Grandma, this is "
Cheng Gang hadn't been stupid enough to think this was a gift for himself.
"This is a magic artifact. Wrap it up and present it as an engagement gift to the girl you have your eye on. Be sure to put it on her hand yourself."
Okay, I understand.
If this girl is alright, then she won't have any reaction after wearing the bracelet. It'll just be like a wedding gift I gave to Mr. Cheng.
Once she realizes something is wrong and tries to take off the bangle, you absolutely must not let her. You have to restrain her and make sure she doesn't run away until the bangle turns completely black. Then, you can take it off and bring it back to me."Liàn Yī coldly snorted, this time directly throwing out a thunderball which collided with the mass of evil energy. For a moment, a violent wind raged through the room as the two forces clashed. Becaus...
