Chapter 063 Jinjiang First Launch

Lame Brother was horrified: "Are you really going to help her harm people?"

Bai Mian shook his head: "She is very upset now. Even if I don't help her, she will think of other ways. It would be better if I use metaphysics to help her untie the knot in her heart. This can also be considered a good deed."

As she spoke, Bai Mian placed two fingers on Zheng Qiuyan's pulse. After a moment, she smiled, raised her head and said to Zheng Qiuyan, "Ke Ci's daughter doesn't have a boyfriend."

Zheng Qiuyan was delighted when she heard this, and said proudly, "Sure enough, I said it a long time ago, her daughter is born naughty, has a poor education, and doesn't even have a job, how can she find such a good fiancé? Master, please tell me, how did Ke Ci get that son-in-law?"

Bai Mian picked up the phone, typed a name into the search bar, and then showed the search results to Zheng Qiuyan. The search bar said "爱哈卡德", and the search results were a series of film and television works he had participated in.

Zheng Qiuyan laughed out loud: "Hahahaha, it turns out that this man is just a foreign actor who came to our country to play a minor role. In other words, the wedding and the rich man are all fake, and they are all used by Ke Ci to save face. Hahaha, this woman is really ashamed of herself for coming up with such a plan!"

Zheng Qiuyan picked up her phone and prepared to call and ridicule Ke Ci. However, she changed her mind just after dialing the number: "Wait, not now. I will pretend that I don't know and then endure it until her daughter's wedding day. I will expose the mother and daughter in public at the wedding and make her lose face!"

Zheng Qiuyan smiled proudly, and her actions caused heated discussions on the barrage.

[Hahaha, I didn't expect that the other side was also pretending to be strong. These two are really a dragon and a phoenix, neither of them will give in to the other]

[This old woman is so vicious. She can't stand seeing others doing well. I'm most afraid of meeting such a person in life! ]

[Yeah, even if they were hired actors, what does that have to do with her? She even went over to expose it in public. She really loves to stir up trouble.]

[How can a master tell fortunes for such a person? Isn't this helping the evil? ]

[Master, did you add flour too quickly today? It's a bit too much]

[Ahhh no, I just became a fan of Master Bai, please don't let my reputation fall apart! ]

Zheng Qiuyan laughed for a long time before she stopped. She happily took out her mobile phone to pay for Bai Mian's medical bill and prepared to leave. She got the answer she wanted, and nothing could make her happier than this.

"Wait," Bai Mian stopped her, "I suggest you call Ke Ci and ask her to come here to have a good talk. There is some misunderstanding between you two."

"Ah?" Zheng Qiuyan frowned, as if she didn't want to do this. "What can I talk about with her?"

Bai Mian spread his hands: "This is just my suggestion. The choice is in your hands. You decide what to do. But I want to remind you that if you don't make this call today, you may regret it for the rest of your life."

"Is it so serious?" Zheng Qiuyan was frightened. Although she didn't want to do this, Bai Mian's words weighed heavily in her heart. After thinking about it, she reluctantly called Ke Ci.

The call was connected as soon as she made it. Zheng Qiuyan asked the person on the other end of the phone: "Hello, where are you?"

"Chess and card room, what's the matter?" Ke Ci's tone was also cold.

"Come to Ci Xin Tang now. I have something urgent to discuss with you." Zheng Qiuyan said in an aggressive tone.

"I'm busy. I've already retired. You don't still treat me as your subordinate, do you?" Ke Ci said unhappily.

"If you don't come, you'll regret it for the rest of your life!" Zheng Qiuyan relayed Bai Mian's words to Ke Ci verbatim, then hung up the phone.

Lame Brother was stunned watching from the side. He whispered in Bai Mian's ear: "Ahem, these two are so hostile to each other. When they meet, they won't just fight each other, right?"

Bai Mian shook his head and smiled mysteriously.

After Zheng Qiuyan finished the call, she sat at the table bored and said to Bai Mian while waiting: "Master, it's useless. I bet you that she won't come. She hates me so much that she will definitely not put down her mahjong game to come see me!"

As soon as Zheng Qiuyan finished speaking, Ke Ci appeared in front of the Cixin Hall. She walked to the table in small steps and said sarcastically, "I didn't want to see your old face, but someone cursed me on the phone. I didn't understand what they said, so of course I had to come and ask for clarification!"

"You! Who are you talking about being old? Can I go for facelifts regularly?" Zheng Qiuyan's anger, which had just subsided, was instantly ignited. She was about to have a big fight with Ke Ci when a brilliant idea suddenly popped up in her mind - she wanted to expose Ke Ci in front of the live camera.

She smiled, softened her tone, and changed the subject:

"Sister Ke, how is your daughter these days?"

Ke Ci looked at her in confusion: "You called me here just to tell you this? Thank you for your concern. My daughter is fine. Didn't I just announce yesterday that my daughter married a foreign son-in-law? The wedding will be held in a while. After the wedding, the son-in-law will take us to a foreign country to enjoy a good life and will never come back. I remember you were there when I announced it. Is your hearing so bad?"

Zheng Qiuyan suppressed her anger and said with a smile, "I heard it. I'm not deaf. But there's one thing I don't quite understand. Sister Ke, look at my mobile page. I can actually search for your son-in-law. Your son-in-law is a small actor. He doesn't seem to be a rich man. Did you get fooled?"

Zheng Qiuyan said as she handed the phone to Ke Ci, who turned pale instantly. She said stubbornly, "Oh, that's nothing. Every rich boy has his own hobbies. He just likes to perform in his free time. Is that illegal?"

Zheng Qiuyan pouted and said in a sinister tone, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's not illegal, but this rich young man is too easy to bribe. Look, there's even his mailbox underneath!"

As she spoke, Zheng Qiuyan scrolled to the bottom of his personal page, where it read:

"Personal email: 52XXXXX432@134 , accepting various performances and activities, can pretend to be a boyfriend, 300 yuan a day, welcome to contact!"

"How can a rich young man bow down for three hundred yuan? A truly wealthy man earns much more than this in a day's interest. Sister Ke, I called you here with good intentions. Don't you really want to confirm it again? I'm afraid that your daughter has met a scammer, and you two, mother and daughter, followed him abroad without knowing it, and didn't even know that you were sold!" Zheng Qiuyan talked a lot, making everyone around them laugh.

Everyone laughed. Ke Ci was surrounded in the middle. Her face became paler and paler. She looked around and suddenly closed her eyes and fainted.

"Ah!" Zheng Qiuyan was afraid that she had made things worse, so she squatted down and hugged Ke Ci and shook her vigorously, "What's wrong with you? Wake up!"

Ke Ci slowly opened her eyes, covered her stomach, and said weakly: "You are right, the foreign son-in-law is fake, I hired him with my own money."

Hearing this answer, Zheng Qiuyan smiled with satisfaction. She said smugly, "Oh, why are you doing this?"

"Need I say more? Of course it's for face. We have been competing with each other all our lives, and I am inferior to you in every way. When I am dying, I just want to put on a show in front of you to save face for myself." Ke Ci said weakly, as if she was going to vomit blood in the next second.

Zheng Qiuyan was anxious: "What did you say? At the moment of death?"

Ke Ci nodded and said, "To be honest with you, I was diagnosed with cancer, stomach cancer, and it's already in the late stage. The doctor asked me to have a gastrectomy, but I didn't go. I didn't want to die so haggard. I wanted to look good in front of you, so I hired that foreign actor. I plan to move out with my whole family after the wedding, so that when you mention me in the future, you will think that I'm living a good life."

Everyone present stopped laughing, Zheng Qiuyan's face froze, and a large barrage of comments flashed across the screen.

[It turns out that he has a terminal illness, which makes sense...]

[The Lord’s inner thoughts: I really deserve to die! ]

[Oh my god, when I saw this, I immediately retracted my bared teeth. Woohoo, my fate is so cruel.]

[Compared to this, the master is really too bad. He just wanted to be glorious before his death, but she exposed him! ]

Zheng Qiuyan asked angrily: "You don't listen to the doctor's advice and go for treatment. Where are you going?"

Ke Ci coughed and said, "Ahem... I have already contacted a hospice hospital. The hospital is by the sea with beautiful scenery. I originally planned to live there after the wedding and die quietly. But now you have found out. I don't have to waste money on a wedding. It's a pity, ahem... It's come to an end, and I'm leaving in such a disgraceful way. It's really embarrassing..."

Everyone pointed at Zheng Qiuyan, and her face turned red. She hesitated for a while, helped Ke Ci up, and the two old ladies sat down face to face. Zheng Qiuyan finally spoke her true feelings:

"Ah Ci, every family has its own problems. You don't have to feel too sorry. I only seem to be doing well on the surface. In fact, there are a lot of problems at home. I often hang out in the chess and card room because I don't want to go home and face those things."

"My husband and I never quarrel because we hardly talk at home. Our marriage was arranged by our parents and we have no feelings for each other. We have lived like strangers for so many years. After we had a child, we even sleep in separate beds. Just a year ago, he fell in love with square dancing..."

Zheng Qiuyan gritted her teeth and continued, "I thought he loved sports, but later I found out that he fell in love with his square dancing partner. He dressed young, and every time he went out, there were many old ladies surrounding him. In the past year, he always went out to dance in the square in the middle of the night. I don't know how many times he cheated on me. I just endured it and didn't say anything."

Everyone sighed, and Zheng Qiuyan continued, "Let's talk about my children. Both of them look promising, but they are busy with work and are away from home for a long time. I don't even get to see them."

"My daughter is a lawyer and has a successful career, but she often stays up late to work overtime. Recently, she has been feeling uncomfortable. I accompanied her to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said she had myocarditis, which was caused by overwork. If she wants to get better, she has to consider giving up her career. Now my daughter is worried every day and doesn't know what to do."

"As for my son, he's in good health, but... I was a little surprised. He told me that day that he was going to bring his daughter-in-law back and asked me to make preparations in advance. I was very happy. I went out to buy food early in the morning, prepared a table of delicious food, and gave him a big red envelope, just waiting to meet my future daughter-in-law. But, the result was -"

At this point, Zheng Qiuyan sighed heavily: "In the end, he brought me a male daughter-in-law. I was almost scared to death on the spot. We parted unhappily that day, and my son has never contacted me since then."

Lame Brother couldn't help laughing. Weng Xuhua glanced at him and he quickly stopped smiling.

After hearing this, Ke Ci, who was sitting at the table, gradually looked better. She held Zheng Qiuyan's hand and said, "Qiuyan, everyone thought you were living a good life, carefree every day. I didn't expect you to have these troubles..."

Zheng Qiuyan said with tears in her eyes: "That's right. Although others think you are not as successful as me, I actually envy you. Although the man you married died young, I know you and him were truly in love. When you were together, you lived a very happy life."

"Your daughter is naughty and has no job, but I know that she has been sunny and cheerful since she was young, and she is healthier than my children. Isn't that enough?"

Ke Ci nodded: "Yes, after all, health is the most important thing."

"Besides my family, I have another trouble of my own," Zheng Qiuyan confided, "I also have cancer, lung cancer!"

People around them exclaimed in amazement. It was such a coincidence that two sworn enemies got cancer at the same time.

"Ah?" Ke Ci was shocked. She leaned closer and asked, "Is your condition serious? Is it in the early or late stages? Does the doctor say there is hope?"

Zheng Qiuyan shook her head: "It's in the late stage. The doctor said that it would be a waste of money to continue the treatment, but I won't give up! I will never give up the treatment. I tell you, I will fight the disease to the end! You are the same. Don't give up. You haven't been treated yet, but you are going to the hospice. Coward! As long as the doctor says there is still a cure, you have to continue the treatment. Ah Ci, listen to me. Go back and pack your things today. We will go to the hospital together and get treated together. Whoever survives to the end will be the one with real face!"

Ke Ci looked at Zheng Qiuyan in disbelief: "Qiuyan, I saw you in the chess and card room before, and you were fine. How come you suddenly became terminally ill? Could it be...could it be caused by what happened that year?"

"What happened back then?" Lame Brother asked, taking advantage of the opportunity.

Ke Ci looked ashamed and talked about what happened back then: "We worked together in a fertilizer factory. One day, there was an accidental fire in the factory. All my colleagues ran out, but I was too tired that day and fell asleep in the office. After everyone ran out, Qiuyan found that I was still in the building and she rushed into the fire to save me."

"The fire was so big that anyone who went in could be burned to death, but she rushed in regardless, went to the office to wake me up, and then dragged me out. Although we both escaped successfully, the smoke was too thick in the fire, and Qiuyan inhaled a lot of thick smoke. Since then, she has developed lung disease and coughs all the time. I think it was this lung disease that caused her to get cancer. In the end, it was me who implicated her."

The lame brother asked in confusion: "Aren't the two of you mortal enemies who can't stand each other, why would she rush into the fire to save you?"

Zheng Qiuyan sighed: "We were not like this before. We used to be very good friends. I thought we could be friends for life, but who knew it would turn out like this."

Ke Ci said quietly, "Yes, but you changed later. Ever since you became the director, you started to make things difficult for me. You became sarcastic and mean, and you always compared yourself to me. I didn't want to swallow my anger, so I had to fight back. Gradually, we became enemies."

Zheng Qiuyan said angrily: "I have changed? Is it me who has changed or you? Do you remember that when I was about to become the director, the unit received an anonymous letter of accusation, saying that I was having affairs with men and women, so the unit suspended me from work and investigated me. My colleagues also looked at me with strange eyes. I was investigated for a whole year!"

"Fortunately, I have nothing to fear from my own shadow. I have never done anything I have never done. The unit investigated for a year and finally found nothing. I was able to resume my job and successfully became the director."

Ke Ci asked doubtfully: "Of course I remember, but what does this have to do with me?"

Zheng Qiuyan said resentfully: "That letter was actually written by you!"
