Chapter 340: Fame Spreads
"Congratulations!" Jiang Ran's eyes lit up, and he looked down at her abdomen, his face full of surprise.
He then raised an eyebrow, hesitated for a moment, and asked again, "What was that person's attitude?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xia instantly understood who Jiang Ran was referring to. Her expression turned slightly serious as she slowly replied, "As soon as the test results came out, I had Shu Yuan tell her."
"She really wanted to come back and take care of me, putting on a repentant act. I told her directly, it's either me or her! Things have only just calmed down recently, haven't they?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran nodded slightly, her eyes filled with understanding.
Previously, in order to suppress Ji Xia, her mother-in-law did not hesitate to secretly give her birth control pills, and even put on a righteous act, standing on the moral high ground to condemn her.
She completely disregarded the fact that Ji Xia not only had to face her ridicule at the time, but also had to endure malicious mockery from the outside world, and now she wanted to make amends?
joke!
Then he replied in a deep voice, "Yes, well done. I was worried that you might be too soft-hearted and forgive her for what she did before."
"How could that be?" Ji Xia looked disdainful and suddenly sneered.
Originally, she misjudged people, and her mother-in-law always brought up her inability to conceive, leading her to believe that she was a sinner of the Cheng family.
But after meeting Jiang Ran, she suddenly realized that everything she had achieved was through her own efforts, not by letting others dictate her life.
Thinking of this, Fu continued, "I was already marrying down, and I was even willing to go against my family for them. Now, if I'm given another chance, I will definitely make a clean break and not do such a foolish thing!"
Jiang Ran listened and sighed helplessly.
Ultimately, the root cause of all this is that the couple is not of equal social standing.
Ji Xia couldn't hide her joy. The two chatted for a long time before parting ways.
Since Cheng's mother was sent back to the countryside, without Song Yuqing's instigation, Ji Xia regained her former radiance and often frequented the upper-class social circle of noblewomen.
Upon learning of her pregnancy, everyone rushed forward to congratulate her.
A slight glint appeared in his eyes as he asked cryptically, "Didn't you have trouble getting pregnant before? Did you do IVF...?"
As soon as she finished speaking, someone next to her gently nudged her, shook their head, and gestured for her not to say anything more.
After all, although IVF is quite common now, the process is very difficult, and no one wants to admit it. But she just asked so bluntly, afraid of upsetting Ji Xia.
To everyone's surprise, Ji Xia smiled slightly, but her face showed no concern. She replied in a low voice, "No, it's just that I know a 'master,' and it was through her guidance that I was able to get pregnant smoothly."
"A master?!" Everyone looked surprised, including some who had difficulty conceiving. They quickly asked, "What kind of master? Is it an expert in treating infertility?"
Ji Xia slowly shook her head, looked around, and replied softly, "She is not only quite knowledgeable in traditional Chinese medicine, but also knows physiognomy and divination."
"Really?" The person next to him was very surprised and asked repeatedly who it was, and asked Ji Xia to introduce them.
"No need for an introduction," Ji Xia replied softly, her eyes slightly lowered.
Just when everyone thought she didn't want to share, she continued, "After all, you've all heard of this person."
"Have you heard about it?" The crowd looked at each other, puzzled, and discussed among themselves for a long time, but they still couldn't guess.
"Ji Xia, stop beating around the bush and just tell us who that person is."
Some of them, growing impatient, couldn't help but urge him on.
Ji Xia's eyes flickered slightly, and she slowly said, "That person is Jiang Ran."
"Jiang Ran?" The person who had just urged him frowned slightly, a hint of doubt flashing across his face. He murmured the name softly, feeling that it sounded very familiar.
Just then, someone nearby suddenly realized what was happening and exclaimed in surprise, "Are you talking about that person from the Si Group?!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Xia nodded slightly.
Everyone instantly understood, their faces filled with astonishment. They never expected that it was that person with such a terrible reputation who helped Ji Xia conceive.
I never expected that she would be able to perform such a difficult task as divination.
Ji Xia spread the word about Jiang Ran's prowess throughout the circle, and Jiang Ran quickly became the talk of the town among socialites.
Those who had previously ridiculed Jiang Ran couldn't help but show a hint of displeasure on their faces.
Those who had no connection with Jiang Ran asked Ji Xia to act as an intermediary to test Jiang Ran's true strength and weaknesses.
There's been no news from the people behind the scenes lately, so Jiang Ran has had a rare moment of peace. She spends her days buried in her studio, processing online orders, and enjoying herself immensely.
Just then, a sudden knocking sounded at the door. Jiang Ran looked up and saw Ji Xia push the door open and walk in, followed by several girls of similar age.
He then looked surprised and asked in a low voice, "What is this?"
Ji Xia quickly explained that she had come because of Jiang Ran's reputation. The people she brought in immediately turned their attention to the talismans on the table. Hearing Jiang Ran's voice, they quickly turned their heads, smiled slightly at her, and then began to introduce themselves.
After listening, Jiang Ran nodded and then asked, "Is there something you need?"
Ji Xia stepped aside and let each of them explain why they had come. Some, like Ji Xia, had difficulty conceiving, while others were experiencing business setbacks and wanted to seek help from metaphysics to see if there were any solutions.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ran lowered her eyes slightly, dealt with their troubles one by one, and handed them handwritten talismans.
With Ji Xia's deeds as an example, they readily accepted the offer, completely unlike their previous attitude towards charlatans.
After the matter was resolved, Jiang Ran noticed that a girl standing on the outermost side had not said a word since she came in, nor did she express her difficulties like the others.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she took the initiative to ask, "Is something troubling you?"
The man paused, his lips pursed as if deep in thought. After a moment's hesitation, he slowly walked up to Jiang Ran and said in a low voice, "I've been having a fight with my boyfriend lately, he..."
As Jiang Ran listened to her recount the whole story, it turned out to be nothing more than a quarrel between lovers, plus the disapproval of both sets of parents.
Seeing this, Jiang Ran's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Ji Xia, then gave her a meaningful glance.
When Ji Xia heard her ask such a question, a look of surprise flashed across her face, followed by a wry smile and a slow shake of her head.
Jiang Ran truly never imagined that besides fortune-telling and healing, she would also need to counsel others about their relationship problems.
She's not some relationship guru!
But there was a hint of a sob in the voice of the person in front of her, and Jiang Ran's heart softened. She sighed helplessly, "I'm sorry, I can't solve this kind of problem."
"However, I can give you a piece of advice."
"What?!" The man's eyes lit up, and he asked repeatedly.
"Those who walk different paths should not make plans together; cut your losses in time."
Upon hearing this, the man's expression instantly darkened, and he could not hide his disappointment.
Jiang Ran looked on helplessly. She was just offering some advice, which shouldn't be considered revealing secrets. As for what to do, that was her own choice.
Those who received guidance from Jiang Ran, whether more or less, found their troubles resolved and turned misfortune into good fortune.
At the same time, Jiang Yuechen's friends also expressed their gratitude to her.
After Jiang Yuechen offered to exchange the house she had helped with feng shui for two villas by the sea, Jiang Ran still felt bad and chose another place for him.
I made sure he understood all the necessary feng shui considerations before handing him the keys.
The problem was resolved satisfactorily, and at the same time, word of her story spread throughout the business world, making her famous in high society overnight.
Not only that, but because of these things she did, her merits increased greatly. Bai Zhuwei originally wanted to ruin her merits by spreading the plague, but now she didn't expect to lose more than she gained.
Besides the incense offerings and merits gained from doing good deeds, Jiang Ran and Si Yanxiao spent every day together, and the 'Emperor's Qi' complemented her own spiritual energy, giving her many advantages.
As dusk approached, she sat cross-legged as usual, focused her mind and energy, performed the Zi-Wu Mudra, and circulated her internal energy.
Between moments of relaxation and respite, spiritual energy flowed through his limbs and bones. With each circulation of spiritual energy within his body, a faint purple wisp in his dantian began to solidify into a phantom image. A sense of lightness instantly surged through his body, growing stronger with the flow of spiritual energy until it finally enveloped his entire body.
As time slowly passed, Jiang Ran clearly felt the flow of qi and blood in her body, and the impurities in her meridians were cleared away. Her body was full of qi, and she felt clear-headed and bright-eyed.
