Chapter 212: Chapter 134: The Outcome Decided (Part 2)
"Cousin, don’t be skeptical, I’m telling you, my ability to bring good fortune to my husband was revealed through the Crystal Meridian Technique, I’m not making this up!"
"Really, is it that accurate?" Wang Liqing was somewhat intrigued, she had heard a lot about the Crystal Meridian Technique from her cousin and friends, but her status as the Mayor’s wife, coupled with Wenxin Garden being Wen Xin’s venture, had always stopped her from swallowing her pride to give it a try.
"Of course, cousin, I’m telling you..."
"Let’s talk in my room!"
Half an hour later, Wang Liqing left with Wang Lixing. She wanted to use this method to determine her next steps, whether to advance or retreat, she was ready to take a gamble!
...
"Mom, why are you so happy?" Yang Xing noticed his mom’s mood was particularly good when he got home from school, which was a stark contrast from her gloominess over the past few days.
Wang Liqing smiled at her son, "What, you wish your mom was unhappy? But I see you seem happy too, son. Did something good happen? Tell me about it."
"Mom, I ranked first in my class this time, of course I’m happy." Yang Xing sat down next to his mom, "This means there’s even more hope for things to work out between me and Luo Ye, right?"
"Son, you’ve been through a lot..." Wang Liqing said tenderly as she embraced Yang Xing, "If it really doesn’t work out, you can choose Xiao Yang. I believe that marrying into the Song Family won’t be much worse than marrying into the Luo Family."
"Mom, let me try a bit longer. To be honest, I’ve never cared about my grades as much as I do this time. Before, it didn’t matter to me whether it was provincial or national competitions, I wouldn’t get too excited about the results, but this time, when I heard I was number one, mom, I was even happier than when I won first place in a math olympiad!"
"Silly son!"
"Mom, for families like ours, love is a luxury. I can guess what’s been troubling you these past few days." Yang Xing looked at Wang Liqing earnestly, "Mom, dad’s status means that no one can threaten your position, don’t worry!"
"You cheeky kid, lecturing your mom now! Keep it down, don’t let Sister Li hear." Wang Liqing cautiously peeked towards the kitchen.
"Don’t worry, I’ve been watching. The kitchen door is soundproof, she can’t hear us. Anyway, you haven’t told me why you’re so happy today, tell me and let me share your joy!"
"Didn’t I tell you about the Crystal Meridian Technique before? I didn’t believe in it at first, but today when Aunt Lixing came over and mentioned it again, I decided to give it a shot.
When I tried it, hey, it turned out to be pretty accurate. We went there without Wen Xin knowing, but the girl who did the technique somehow guessed my general background accurately, even though she might not have known the specifics. It’s very reliable.
What makes me happy is knowing that I have the luck to bring good fortune to my husband. The only regret is that there are some malevolent people around me now, but I’m not worried. If I can bring good fortune to my husband, then I’m not afraid of them meddling, right? And if I’m fortunate, then naturally my son is too. That’s my biggest wish. Aren’t I right to be happy?"
"One can tell at a glance you’re meant to bring good fortune to your husband, mom. Don’t worry, I’ll also work hard!" Yang Xing didn’t really believe in the Crystal Meridian Technique, but to make his mom happy, he pretended to believe wholeheartedly.
As the mother and son were chatting and laughing, a "click" sounded from the doorway. Yang Songping’s figure appeared at the entrance, and Yang Xing hurriedly greeted him: "Dad, how come you’re back home so early today?"
Yang Songping handed his briefcase to Yang Xing, changed into slippers, sat on the sofa, and frowned without saying a word.
"Old Yang, what’s the matter?" Wang Liqing looked at her husband worriedly.
"The appointment has come down!"
...
"Master... Master, are you really my master?" Luo Ye looked incredulously at the handsome middle-aged man in front of her, almost dropping her jaw in shock.
"Naughty girl, haven’t seen your master for just a bit and you don’t recognize me anymore?" Seventh Uncle Ye teased Luo Ye’s nose, "Could it be that in your eyes, your master is just an old geezer?"
"Hehe... You’ve changed so much. If it weren’t at home, I’d hardly dare to recognize you. It seems there’s some truth in ’good spirit springs from joyful events’."
Grandpa Luo laughed, "This girl, your master isn’t that old actually. Everyone addresses him as Mr. Yu out of respect for his knowledge and readiness to help. Plus, his attire made him look older. In fact, he’s not even fifty years old yet. Oh right, your master has gone back to using the Ye surname, so from now on he’s Elder Ye."
"Master, as long as you’re happy, you could definitely attract a bunch of beauties to chase after you, it’s true. Nowadays, women like your mature and scholarly charm. And Elder Ye, well, adding ’elder’ to your age, tsk tsk..."
