Chapter 24: Exchange of Life
"You're talking about Zhao Xuanlang, right?" Zhong Nianyao half-leaned on the sofa. "He's so unlucky. The fact that he's still alive is all thanks to the good deeds of your ancestors."
"Miss Zhong!" The tension on Zhao's mother's face was obvious. "Then Xuanlang, this child—"
Zhong Nianyao turned her head and glanced at Zhao Xuanlang, who looked like he was about to die. "Within a month, he will die a violent death."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the living room, except Zhong Nianyao, lost all color on their faces. Especially Zhao Xuanlang, a well-rounded boy, whose face was filled with dejection, as if he would collapse at any moment.
"Miss Zhong, since you have seen it all, do you have any way to help Xuanlang?" Father Zhao, a tough man, lowered his head at this moment with a humble attitude.
Because now he is just an ordinary father, the only thing he thinks about is how to save his son.
"Yes, Miss Zhong, please." Mother Zhao seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and her tone was filled with pleading, "Xuanlang is still very young. He has a long future ahead of him. He can't die like this!"
Zhong Nianyao's expression remained unchanged, and she wasn't about to change at all just because the two were elders. "You don't have to be like this. I came here today to resolve the issue with him. But, let me make it clear in advance, my fees are not cheap!"
Although she was quite interested in what was happening with Zhao Xuanlang, that didn't mean she was kind. Furthermore, the relationship between her and Zhao Xuanlang wasn't particularly good. To be honest, while they weren't enemies, they did have a grudge.
It's good enough that she is willing to help now. It's impossible for her to help for free.
"Of course."
Even though he was a seasoned businessman, Father Zhao couldn't hide his inner joy at this moment. "This is as it should be. So, Miss Zhong, what should we do now?"
He couldn't rest easy until his son's problem was resolved. Now that there was a way to solve it, he had to act quickly.
"If that's the case, I won't beat around the bush." Zhong Nianyao glanced at Zhao Xuanlang before speaking. "Zhao Xuanlang's face looks strange. He wasn't destined to die young. But now, he's shrouded in a deathly aura. This is very unusual."
"Do you have his birth date and time? I need to calculate it."
"Yes, I'll get it right away."
After saying that, Zhao's mother hurried upstairs. A few minutes later, she hurried downstairs again. However, this time, she had a piece of red paper in her hand.
Zhong Nianyao took the red paper, took a look at it, and understood.
"Miss Zhong, is there something wrong?" Mother Zhao's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but ask, "Or is it that Xuanlang's horoscope is very bad?"
"No, quite the opposite." Zhong Nianyao shook her head. "Zhao Xuanlang's horoscope is very good. He has a destiny of both fortune and luck. He will be rich and prosperous throughout his life, have a happy family, and a loving husband and wife. In the future, he will also be surrounded by children and grandchildren. He is destined to die of old age."
"Although this kind of fate cannot be said to be top-notch, it is also very good."
"Then why did Xuan Lang become like this?" Father Zhao's eyes narrowed, as if he had some guess, but he didn't say it out loud.
"Exchange his life!" Zhong Nianyao said calmly, "His destiny of both fortune and luck has been targeted."
"In exchange for lives!" Zhao's father and mother spoke in unison, and then they looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, they saw shock in each other's eyes.
They had many guesses, but none of them had thought of exchanging lives. This sounded far-fetched, but Zhong Nianyao had no reason to lie to them.
"That's right, exchanging lives." Zhong Nianyao explained, "The person who exchanged his life with him must have been unlucky and died young, so Zhao Xuanlang is so unlucky."
"In fact, Zhao Xuanlang should have died a long time ago. However, your Zhao family's ancestors must have done a lot of good deeds, and this blessing has protected their descendants, so Zhao Xuanlang has escaped danger every time."
"Then what should we do?" Zhao's mother asked anxiously, "What should we do to save Xuanlang's life? Is it enough to just change his fate?"
"That's right," Zhong Nianyao nodded, "I can help Zhao Xuanlang get his original fate back."
After receiving Zhong Nianyao's affirmation, Zhao's father and mother's expressions relaxed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there was even a hint of joy.
"So what should we prepare?" Father Zhao asked immediately, "And when will it begin?"
Mother Zhao on the side also pursed her lips, and when she looked at Zhong Nian Yao, there was anxiety in her eyes.
Obviously, they hoped that it would be as quick as possible. However, they did not dare to urge her, fearing that if they pushed her too hard, Zhong Nianyao would get angry and regret it, and then there would be no hope for their son.
