Lu Anning's hand tightened and he pulled it back without thinking. He immediately guessed the real reason why Ji Yan brought him here.
Fulfilling a vow is false, saying that she is unlucky is true.
Lu An Ning stared at the old monk and Ji Yan and smiled: "This is the real reason why you brought me here!"
Ji Yan was puzzled: "You girl, what nonsense are you talking about? There are gods above us, how dare you say such things. Of course it's true that I fulfilled my vow, and meeting the abbot today is even more of a fate."
She scolded Lu An Ning a few times, then turned to the old monk and smiled apologetically, "Master, children are ignorant, please don't take it to heart. Is what you said just now true? You know, I have been looking for my daughter for so many years, and now she is finally back. If this is true, you must think of a way to help me resolve it!"
Lu An Ning frowned and looked at Ji Yan carefully. She looked anxious, but it didn't seem like she was acting.
The old monk coughed lightly and said, "Meeting is fate. I will naturally find a way to prevent you and your daughter from being separated again. Your fates are in conflict, so naturally you can't be close to each other. But everything in this world is interdependent and mutually exclusive, and the cycle of cause and effect is complementary. Since there are conflicting fates, there will naturally be people who are compatible. Finding this person will naturally resolve the problems between you and your daughter."
Lu Anning seemed to be thinking about something, and asked with a smile: "What kind of person is considered a compatible person? What if I don't look for one?"
The old monk sighed softly, "Now you and your daughter are living in peace, but there's no guarantee that things won't get worse in the future. I'm afraid you'll end up killing each other until you die. The grudges left behind in your past life must be repaid in this life."
The words "fight until death" frightened Ji Yan so much that she turned pale and collapsed on the mahogany chair.
"We are mother and daughter, how could this happen?"
The old monk sighed, "Fate can be good or bad. Don't worry, benefactor. It's not difficult to protect you two. As long as you place someone with a compatible fate by your side, the problems between you and your daughter will naturally be resolved, and you will get better and better."
Lu Anning raised his eyebrows: "Then tell me, what kind of person is this?"
The old monk closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said, "This girl is about the same age as your daughter. According to her birth date and time, she should be born on the tenth day of the lunar month. Her fate is related to water. With water, all things come into being."
About the same age as her, with water as his destiny, and his birthday is on the tenth day of the lunar month.
Lu An Ning immediately thought of someone, not only her, but Ji Yan also thought of her.
"I have a goddaughter whose birthday is on the tenth day of the lunar month. Her original name is Lu Yunxi. She and I get along very well. Master, can you take a look and see if it's her?"
The monk frowned, and after a few pretentious calculations, his eyes lit up: "Buddha's blessing! The donor is a blessed person. If you can raise this girl by your side, it will definitely resolve the conflict between you and your daughter. From now on, you will surely have smooth sailing and a harmonious family."
Ji Yan's face was full of smiles, immersed in her own joy. Lu Anning, sitting beside her, couldn't help but find it funny.
He brought her to the mountain specially to perform such a drama, either to fulfill a vow or to pretend to be a ghost, or to keep Lu Yunxi.
"Mom, is it fun to go through such a big detour? If you two are done, you can stop your poor acting. It makes me sick just watching it."
Seeing this, Ji Yan's face turned cold.
"What's your attitude? You don't listen to what the master says. You don't fear the gods, and you don't fear retribution?"
"You've racked your brains to keep Lu Yunxi in the Gu family, even going so far as to tell lies like our fates are incompatible. Without Lu Yunxi, you're going to fight me and my daughter to the death, right? I'm telling you, there's no need."
Lu An Ning's face turned cold. She had just heard that her mother had prayed for her, and she still had some expectations in her heart, but she didn't expect that what she saw in the end was still conspiracy and scheming.
"I just want to keep Lu Yunxi. Just say it directly. Mother and daughter will fight each other until one of them dies. Are you going to use this to threaten my father and my brothers? If you don't want to recognize me, I won't force you to call me 'Mom'. Ms. Ji, let's end this farce here!"
After Lu Anning finished speaking, she stood up and was about to leave. Perhaps because she had stood up too fast, or perhaps because she was a little excited, her steps were unsteady and she felt dizzy. She held onto the table and shook her head, sensing something was wrong.
Ji Yan stood up with her lips curled. "Gu Yue, I said I like well-behaved and obedient daughters. But why do you... always disobey me? I really can't like your face. What do you want me to do?"
Lu Anning stepped back cautiously: "You...what did you do to me?"
"It's nothing. I just want you to speak up for Yun Xi. After all, she's pregnant with your second brother's child. We can't let her give birth to the child without any legal status! If you ask them about this, they will definitely agree. As long as you agree, from now on, Mom will definitely compensate you well. How about it?"
Lu Anning watched Ji Yan walk towards him. A few rays of sunset shone through the windows and doors onto her, but there was no warmth at all. That seemingly gentle smile, on the contrary, sent a chill through Lu Anning's heart. He subconsciously stepped back, resisting her touch.
Ji Yan's hand fell into nothingness and he froze in place.
The gentle face gradually became ferocious, and the cold voice almost penetrated her body.
"Be good! Don't make me angry."
"Why? Obviously... I am your daughter. Is it just because of what this monk said? I don't believe it! At least, let me know the reason."
Ji Yan smiled slightly: "You don't need to know, you just need to remember that you are my daughter. If you want me to love you, then listen to me obediently, otherwise..."
Lu Anning watched as Ji Yan's cold smile faded before her eyes, gradually blurring. She tried to escape, but was held tightly. As she struggled, her vision went dark and she passed out.
