The old lady glanced at Qiao Rong. "What did you do to your son again?"
"I...I didn't do anything to him. Today..." Qiao Rong recounted what had happened that morning. "Do you have any way to win my son's heart back from Xinmei?"
"No."
"Then what should we do?"
The old lady looked at Qiao Rong and said, "I told you not to mess with your nephew. But you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, you've shot yourself in the foot, haven't you? Someone who can survive a near-death experience is definitely not an ordinary person. You dare to mess with someone like that? I think you've had enough of a good life."
Qiao Rong was very indignant: "All I did was introduce him to someone."
The old lady looked at Qiao Rong and smiled sarcastically. "Are you introducing someone to a potential partner? You're just hoping they'll never have a son in their life."
"I...I'm not reconciled. I was clearly first..."
"Alright." Qiao Rong was interrupted by the old lady before she could finish speaking. "If you're not willing to give up, then keep making trouble." The old lady looked at Qiao Rong and said, "This time you lost your son, next time you might lose yourself too."
Qiao Rong felt that things weren't as serious as the old lady made them out to be. "My son just has a crush on that Xinmei couple."
The old lady smiled.
Qiao Rong gritted her teeth: "I will not let my son marry her. I will introduce someone better than Xinmei to my son tomorrow."
"Once the arrow is released, there's no turning back." The old lady looked into Qiao Rong's eyes and said, "Some things, once started, are beyond your control."
Qiao Rong's heart skipped a beat. She knew how capable the old lady was. "You...why are you saying this? You...have you discovered something?"
"Your appearance has changed."
"What?!" Qiao Rong jumped up from her chair. "My appearance has changed?" Remembering what the old lady had said, Qiao Rong realized she might have really messed things up for her son this time.
“Previously, your facial features indicated that you would have a grandson. Now, your facial features indicate that you will only have a granddaughter.”
Qiao Rong plopped down on the stool. "How could this happen?"
The old lady recalled how she had tried to find out how Feng Yixuan had survived his death calamity, and how she had fallen ill upon returning. "There are some people you cannot touch. If you do, you will be punished."
"punish?!"
"Didn't you want someone to never have a son in their life? Now, you'll never have a grandson in your life."
"My plan did not succeed."
"Whether you succeed or not is not important. What's important is that you were moved."
Now, Qiao Rong truly regretted it. "Is there any way to salvage this?"
"Maybe."
Qiao Rong immediately grabbed the old lady's hand: "How can we fix this?"
"I don't know. However, since your appearance changed because you offended your nephew, it's possible that your desire to change back is also related to your nephew."
Qiao Rong released the old lady's hand: "You mean I should go and beg him?"
The old lady shook her head. "You need to find out first whether he knows he's survived a near-death experience. If he doesn't even know that, then he probably doesn't know anything else either."
Qiao Rong didn't want to ask Feng Yixuan for help. But now the old lady was telling her that even Feng Yixuan might not be able to help her. Qiao Rong felt a mix of emotions. "If he doesn't know either, is there no way to change my appearance?"
"Not necessarily. Just because I can't see something doesn't mean others can't. If you can find someone more skilled than me, you might be able to find a solution."
A glimmer of hope ignited in Qiao Rong's heart. "Do you know such a highly skilled person?"
The old lady shook her head.
Qiao Rong's heart sank again.
When Qiao Rong showed the old lady photos of Xin Mei and the other girls, the old lady advised Qiao Rong not to provoke Feng Yixuan. But Qiao Rong wouldn't listen. Besides, the social environment was different now than before. The old lady didn't really want to deal with Qiao Rong anymore: "Alright. Go back now. I'm going to start meditating."
Qiao Rong thought for a moment. "You don't know anyone whose cultivation is higher than yours. Have you ever heard of anyone whose cultivation is deeper than yours?"
"I've heard of it."
Qiao Rong's eyes lit up again. "Tell me about it, and I'll send someone to look for it."
"Alright then." The old lady briefly told Qiao Rong about the few experts she knew. "These are people I've heard of before. After that catastrophe, most of them are probably no longer alive."
Qiao Rong felt that since the old lady could rely on her to escape that catastrophe, then these people who were even more skilled than the old lady could certainly do the same. "Don't worry. I will definitely find them."
The old woman smiled. "Give them back? If you can find even one, you're lucky. If these people don't want to see you, even if you go to their homes, they'll find a way to keep you out." "Then go look for them. Alright, I'm going to meditate now, you can go."
"Okay. I'll head back now. I was so angry with that brat that I came empty-handed. I'll come back tomorrow and bring you something."
"Um."
Meanwhile, after leaving Wang Yingxue's room, Feng Yixuan went to his grandmother's room. "Grandma, I haven't been back for so long, did you leave me anything good to eat?"
"You're old enough to get married, yet you're still thinking about Grandma's treats." Old Mrs. Feng tapped Feng Yixuan's forehead. "You brat, do you think the girl your second aunt introduced you to isn't good enough?"
Feng Yixuan smiled and said, "No. I just want to establish my career before starting a family."
"You're a company commander now, and you haven't established yourself yet?"
"I plan to get married after I become the regimental commander."
"You brat, Grandma's still waiting to hold her great-grandchild. If you get married after becoming a regimental commander, when will Grandma ever get married?"
"Grandma, you'll be able to hold your great-grandchild soon."
Grandma Feng's interest immediately soared. "You have someone you like?"
"No."
"Then how come you said I'll be able to hold my great-grandchild soon?"
"Haven't you noticed? My brother and my second aunt introduced me to a girl and they've hit it off."
“I’ve found out. But you’re the eldest grandson, so Grandma wants to hold your son first. Xuanxuan, tell Grandma, what kind of girl do you want to find in the future?”
"Hmm..." A chubby girl flashed through Feng Yixuan's mind. "I want to find a girl who looks very lucky."
"blessed?"
"Um."
"I think the girl your second aunt introduced you to is quite lucky. Why don't you like her?"
"She's not lucky at all."
Grandma Feng laughed and said, "Do you know any other kind of lucky girls?"
"Of course."
"Then tell Grandma, what kind of girl is lucky?"
“Our commander’s daughter is so lucky.”
Grandma Feng looked at Feng Yixuan and smiled, "Didn't you want to find someone with good fortune? Since you think your commander's daughter is lucky, do you want to marry her and make her your granddaughter-in-law?"
