"Mom, what do you mean by that? Do you want me to attract the attention of that Boss Cheng?"
"Yes, and it should be natural, not too forced."
Ripple nodded and said.
"How am I supposed to do this?"
"Are you wearing the jade pendant I gave you to keep you safe?"
"I'm wearing it! I didn't even take it off when I took a shower."
This was specially prepared by my mother for the family. He was wearing a white jade Guanyin. Even though he was an outsider, he knew that this was a good thing. He usually didn't dare to let anyone except his wife see it.
"Find an opportunity to pull the Jade Guanyin out of your collar and let Boss Cheng see it, but avoid the people in your company."
Ripple said calmly.
"Will this work?"
"Of course you can. The people in Hong Kong City have good eyesight and believe in Feng Shui. When he is interested and asks you about the origin of the Jade Guanyin, you can tell him the truth and say that I prepared this thing to keep you safe."
"Can he believe it?"
"You're right. If the other party asks to see me, just refuse first and say you'll reply after asking me and come back to tell me."
Lianyi continued to make arrangements.
"Mom, I understand."
"Okay, you go back. It's just a few steps away. Dabao and I can go back."
After saying goodbye to her son who was full of questions, Lianyi returned home. She was very confident that Boss Cheng would definitely take the bait. After all, the things she gave to her three children were all carved with spiritual power and could definitely be passed down from generation to generation.
Three days later, Song Qingchuan went straight to Lianyi after get off work. He poured himself a cup of herbal tea and then said to Lianyi:
"Mom, you are amazing! Ever since Boss Cheng saw the jade Guanyin I was wearing, he asked the people around him to talk to me and said he wanted to buy my jade Guanyin. I refused, and then he told Boss Cheng's assistant what you said.
When I got off work, my assistant came to tell me that Boss Cheng wanted to visit you."
Lianyi nodded with satisfaction after hearing this and said to her son:
"Just tell Boss Cheng tomorrow and ask him to come directly over."
"Mom, I'll be with you then."
Song Qingchuan said immediately.
"No need. I'm just an old woman. What can they do? You go to work as usual and don't let anyone in your company know."
"Then I'll come over after get off work."
Song Qingchuan was worried, so he decided to come to Lianyi after get off work.
"Okay, come over if you're worried."
Lian Yi didn't refuse either.
The next day, Lianyi sent her eldest grandson away and was embroidering in the yard when someone knocked on the gate.
"Is Madam Song here?"
The accent was a bit awkward and the address was very old-fashioned. Lianyi knew who the visitor was without opening the door. She put down the embroidery needle in her hand, stood up and opened the door.
"You are Boss Cheng."
Lianyi glanced at the man in front of her and spoke with a kind smile.
"Hello, old lady. I am Cheng Gangsheng."
"Come in and sit down!"
Lianyi opened the door, and Cheng Gangsheng entered the yard with his two assistants. Both assistants were holding gifts in their hands, and it was obvious that they were here to visit.
"sit!"
The four of them entered the main hall and sat down at the eight-immortal table. Cheng Gangsheng asked his assistant to give the gift he brought to Lianyi first. Lianyi did not refuse and said directly:
"My son said that Boss Cheng wanted to see me because he wanted to buy the protective jade talisman I made."
"Yes, I wonder if the old lady can give it up."
Cheng Gangsheng said with a smile.
"Selling you a protective jade amulet is a small matter, but I don't want to ruin my reputation."
"What does this lady mean by this?"
"It means that my jade talisman cannot keep you safe."
Lianyi took a sip of tea and said calmly.
Cheng Gangsheng was stunned for a moment, then waved to the two assistants, asking them to wait in the yard, and then he spoke carefully:
"Did Madam Song see something?"
"Do you believe it?"
"Of course, if you didn't believe it, you wouldn't come to visit the old lady."
Cheng Gangsheng said immediately.
"You also know that in the current environment, we cannot promote feudal superstition. Just listen to my words. I will not admit it outside this courtyard."
Lianyi said in a pretentious manner.
"Yes, Cheng understands. Madam, please speak."
"I just looked at your face and found that you have a peach blossom disaster. If you don't break it, it will not only ruin your luck, but also bring disaster to your career and family."
"What?"
After hearing Lianyi's words, Cheng Gangsheng subconsciously touched his face, seeming a little shocked.
Lian Yi glanced at the other party and continued:
"The so-called peach blossom calamity is naturally caused by women. I have just calculated that the calamity in your life is caused by a woman who is thirteen years younger than you and whose name contains the word "Ya".
But judging from your face, this woman should be able to bring prosperity to you and your offspring, but I don’t know why it has become a disaster now.”
Ripple shook her head.
Now Cheng Gangsheng was really shocked. He didn't dare to underestimate Lianyi anymore. After all, he met Xu Xinya by chance in the town. After falling in love at first sight, he called and told a Feng Shui master in Gangcheng her birth date.
The master also said that this woman would bring him good luck and would also help him have many children, so after learning about Xu Xinya's family background and obtaining her consent, he came to propose marriage.
Now his wife, who was supposed to bring prosperity to his family, has become his doom. He thought about it for a long time and finally asked tentatively:
"Madam, can you resolve this?"
"It's not impossible, but the best way is to give up this peach blossom."
"You also said that her fate is good for me, I really don't want to give up."
Cheng Gangsheng said with difficulty.
After all, this girl is really to his liking, and the wedding date has been set. He really can't bear to give up now.
"If you don't want to give up, there are ways to not give up, but..."
Lianyi didn't say anything else, just picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"Don't worry, old lady. I understand. I will definitely give you a big red envelope."
Cheng Gangsheng said very tactfully.
"We don't do these things here. If you want to thank me, buy me a pair of embroidery!"
Ripple said with a smile.
"That's no problem."
Cheng Gangsheng readily agreed.
Lianyi then got up and went into her bedroom. After a while, she placed something wrapped in a handkerchief in front of Cheng Gangsheng and motioned for him to open it.
Cheng Gangsheng opened the handkerchief and found a blood jade bracelet inside. It was so dazzling red that one could tell at a glance that it was a treasure.
"Madam, this is..."
Cheng Gangsheng was not stupid enough to think that this was a gift for him.
"This is a magical instrument. Please wrap it up and give it to the girl you like as an engagement gift. You must put it on her personally."
"Okay, I understand."
“If there is nothing wrong with this girl, then she won’t have any reaction after wearing the bracelet. Just think of it as a wedding gift from me to Mr. Cheng.
Once she realizes something is wrong and wants to take off the bracelet, you must not let her take it off, and you must trap her and not let her run away. Until the bracelet turns completely black, you can take it off and return it to me. " (End of this chapter)
