Chapter 843 Extra 09: The Annulment of the Engagement and the Plan to Win Over Fu Xiaotuanzi
After choking for a moment, Fifth Chuan finally managed to utter a title: "Miss Ying".
Luo Xiu frowned and turned his head away.
The girl had clear, cool eyes and a detached expression.
Her striking appearance instantly drew everyone's attention.
Including Luo Ziqiu.
Luo Ziqiu became famous at a young age and had no shortage of beautiful women who fawned over him.
But this was the first time he had ever seen such an exquisite face.
Even if the feng shui and fortune-telling community doesn't pay attention to online news, they still know about Ying Zijing and Fu Yunshen's wedding of the century.
After all, whether it's the capital or other cities in China, you'll find an advertising screen every few steps.
It's hard not to see them.
Seeing Ying Zijing in person now is even more impactful than seeing her in photos.
Luo Xiu's brows furrowed even more.
The matter of annulling the engagement is a matter between their two families, and they don't want outsiders to see it.
Moreover, they operate within the feng shui and fortune-telling circle, which is vastly different from modern high-tech society.
Even if Ying Zijing is a genius in all departments of Imperial University and the wife of the CEO of Venus Group, can anyone control that?
However, they would naturally not choose to antagonize someone like Ying Zijin who is already renowned worldwide.
“Miss Ying,” Luo Xiu’s tone softened a bit, “It’s like this, because our Ziqiu already has someone he loves deeply, and we’re long past the time for arranged marriages.”
“We came once before the Lunar New Year, but Mr. Chuan was not here then, so we’re taking advantage of everyone being here today to call off this marriage proposal.”
"Hmm." Ying Zijing was still leaning against the door, not going in. Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she seemed to smile. "Seventeen years ago, when you came to the Fifth Family, you said that no matter what happened in the future, the two children would definitely get married."
"No, to be precise, it is you who came to beg the fifth family."
The decline of the fifth family began in the early 21st century.
This is also because fewer and fewer family members have the talent for divination, so most people have to go into business.
Luo Xiu was immediately displeased.
Why would Fifth Chuan tell such a thing to others?
"Let's leave." Ying Zijin walked in, sat down, and said calmly, "You're right. Cause and effect are indeed very important. Cause is what produces, and effect is what produces. There must be an effect for every cause, and there must be a cause for every effect."
"With the continuous cause and effect, many things can no longer continue."
Luo Ziqiu was somewhat surprised.
Could it be that this Miss Ying also knows divination?
He thought about it for a moment and then rejected the idea.
This saying also appears in Buddhist scriptures; you'll understand it once you read it.
After all, Ying Zijing didn't come from a family of feng shui masters and had no access to such things.
"Yeah, yeah," Fifth Month said, as if waking from a dream. "What if you all come after me then?"
She's the most powerful charlatan ever.
"Get entangled with you?" Luo Xiu seemed to have heard a joke, but he couldn't show it too obviously. "Miss Yue, you are mistaken. After the annulment of the engagement, our two families have nothing to do with each other."
The Luo family is currently at the height of its power; does it really need the help of a fifth family?
Moreover, news also came from the family.
Once they find the master who slew the giant serpent in the capital, they will reach an even higher level.
The fifth one doesn't even deserve it?
“Very good.” This was exactly what Ying Zijing had been waiting for. She smiled slightly. “Completely irrelevant.”
Fifth Flower sneered and pulled out the marriage contract signed between the Fifth Family and the Luo Family back then: "See? Tear it up, the Fifth Family doesn't care!"
As she spoke, she tore the post in two.
Luo Xiu's face turned ashen: "You!"
Before he could even speak, the phone beeped.
"Hello?" Ying Zijin was on speakerphone, her voice steady. "Give me an urgent news report. I require that this news be visible all over the world."
Regardless of whether Ying Zijing is the wife of the CEO of Venus Group, she herself has the ability to achieve this.
Before the Luo family could even react, a news story appeared on various social media platforms.
The fifth family has broken off their engagement with the Luo family, and the two families will have no further connection from now on!
The comments section below the news article was flooded with messages.
[What kind of family is the Luo family? Never heard of them, some insignificant family. They even have the nerve to go to the fifth family to annul the engagement.]
[Good riddance! Now I have a chance! I'm itching to get started.]
[Quickly cancel, don't delay the fifth one, okay?]
The fifth family split into two factions.
Those with a talent for divination stayed in their ancestral home to continue their spiritual practice, while others went into business.
Therefore, it is also very well-known in the secular world.
[Superficial! Of course you people haven't heard of the Luo family. They're a famous family of fortune tellers in Luonan, okay? They're real feng shui masters, sought after by the entertainment and financial circles in the south.]
However, this comment was quickly suppressed.
They were all united in their condemnation of the Luo family.
Ying Zijing raised her head and said coldly, "Congratulations."
Luo Xiu's vision went black; he was so angry he almost fainted.
He never expected that Ying Zijin would come up with this idea.
If these online opinions continue to escalate, they could even cause the Luo family's fortune to decline.
Luo Xiu gritted his teeth: "Ziqiu, let's go."
Luo Ziqiu glanced at Wu Yue one last time before quickly looking away.
He truly had no interest in May.
She has neither a good figure nor good looks.
With no outsiders around, Fifth Chuan respectfully bowed to the girl and said, "Grandmaster."
The completely unaware Fifth Flower: "???"
What did she hear?
"Mr. Chuan, you're too kind." Ying Zijin helped him up. "You're not well, don't do this."
Fifth Chuan shook his head: "My grandmaster is the savior of my Fifth family, so of course I must pay my respects."
With Ying Zijin around, I can rest assured even if he leaves in the future.
"Master!" Fifth Month threw herself into her arms, her eyes brimming with tears. "I missed you so much, I dreamt about you all the time."
Ying Zijing patted her head, her tone tinged with helplessness: "How old are you? Still acting like a child."
"I only act cute towards you, Master." Fifth Month raised her hand. "Master, let me tell you, I haven't fallen behind in my studies these past few days since I woke up!"
Ying Zijing chuckled: "You're amazing. You're the most amazing charlatan in the world."
Hopefully, after the fifth month, I can happily be a charlatan.
As soon as Xize got up and entered the hall, he heard this conversation.
He lowered his eyelashes, sipped his tea, and didn't want to look at anything.
Not only can he not cling to Ying Zijin's leg, but he also can't act like this.
If you do it, you'll definitely get the word "get lost".
Moreover, he certainly couldn't treat May the same way he treated Norton.
gas.
"Master, please sit down. I'll continue reciting my lessons," said Fifth Month. "We're going to the ancient tomb soon, so I'll prepare some more formations."
"Okay." Ying Zijin nodded. "Go ahead."
A few minutes later, Fu Yunshen came in carrying several gift boxes.
Ying Zijing turned her head: "Why didn't you tell me about this?"
Caesar paused for a moment, then said, "I think I can handle this."
"Hmm, what are you planning to do?"
"Just give her an even grander wedding and make the Luo family furious."
He has nothing but money.
Ying Zijing nodded thoughtfully: "That's a method, but with whom?"
Nishizawa: "..."
He really hadn't thought about this.
Ying Zijing glanced at him and said slowly, "After all these years, you're still thinking with your feet."
Of course, this was just a joke.
Caesar's ability to become the head of the Laurent family is no small feat.
Xize straightened his expression: "I haven't thought this person through yet, but we don't lack one. I'll find the best marriage partner for her within the family, and if that doesn't work, I'll help her find a husband throughout the entire O continent."
Ying Zijing pressed her head, not wanting to talk to him.
Xize opened his phone and went online to check news about the Luonan Ancient Tomb.
The people of Luonan are simple and honest, and there are actually more fortune tellers there than in the capital.
You can see all sorts of fortune-telling and tarot card readings on the street.
This ancient tomb in Luonan is said to date back to the Xia and Shang dynasties, and it was only recently discovered.
According to experts, the value of the assets inside is immeasurable.
Xize only saw this sentence. He looked up and said, "Boss, I want to go too."
“Okay.” Ying Zijing flipped through a fashion magazine. “Let Yueyue protect you.”
"Her?" Xize choked. "This little bean sprout of hers, protects me?"
It was clearly him protecting her, wasn't it?
“Don’t underestimate this ancient tomb.” Ying Zijin shook her head slightly. “The Xia and Shang dynasties were the peak of feng shui and divination in China. It would be difficult for modern feng shui practitioners to get in.”
If we're talking about divination skills, if Fifth Month is second, then only Ying Zijin can stand in first place.
There was no one else besides them.
“Fine.” Xize had no choice but to give in. After a few seconds of silence, he suddenly spoke up again, “Boss, I need to reserve the position of godfather.”
Ying Zijin raised her eyes: "What do you mean?"
“You’re both married, having children is inevitable,” Xize said. “I should be the first one to make an appointment, right?”
He's going to be the big brother this time!
Ying Zijing looked him up and down: "You can reserve a spot for your godson."
Nishizawa: "..."
“Well, there are some things I can’t control.” Ying Zijing yawned and raised an eyebrow. “Go ask him, or beat him.”
Xize looked in the direction she was pointing and saw Fu Yunshen chatting with the Feng and Xue brothers from the Fifth Family.
Nishizawa: "..."
He was scared.
He immediately got up and went to the inner room.
One group of people came to offer New Year's greetings to the fifth family.
Ying Zijing lay in the courtyard basking in the sun, and she received many New Year's greetings from people.
The cell phone rang at that moment.
"Happy New Year, Ying! Happy Wedding!" Zuo Li had just finished offering her blessings when her mouth, which hadn't even thought of it, said, "I've got a few more thesis topics coming up. Take a look and see if there are any you like. Pick a few to write about."
Ying Zijin: "...I'm hanging up."
"Hey, hey, don't hang up, don't hang up," Zuo Li hurriedly said. "I really have something to do."
Ying Zijin reluctantly gave him a chance to finish speaking.
"Imperial University secured a collaboration opportunity with Norton University this year," Zuo Li said. "Norton University has already sent students to the space carrier experimental base, and Imperial University also plans to select some students to go there. Do you have any recommendations?"
"It's your choice."
"Okay, okay, let's choose. By the way, Ying, can I reserve a spot?"
The familiar words made Ying Zijing's eyes narrow slightly: "What?"
Zuo Li rubbed his hands together: "Can you send your future genius child to the Imperial University?"
Ying Zijing hung up the phone immediately and turned it off.
She touched her lower abdomen and fell into deep thought.
She couldn't calculate it herself, but she definitely felt like she had gained a few pounds.
It must be because the food has been too plentiful lately.
That won't do.
She also wants to wear beautiful clothes to make up for her past regrets.
Ying Zijing yawned, then remembered what Ling Mianxi had said—
"How abnormal would the child born from the world of sages and the world of sage demons be?"
She was expressionless.
She didn't want to give birth to a little monster.
A shadow fell over her head, and a glass of hot juice was handed to her.
A low chuckle followed. "What are you thinking about?"
"It's not me who's thinking, it's others who're daydreaming." Ying Zijin opened her eyes. "Our child doesn't even have a single cell, and people are already eyeing him."
Fu Yunshen's eyebrows twitched: "Hmm?"
“Actually, I’ve thought about it, and I’ve made up my mind.” He sat down next to her. “When the time comes, I’ll transfer the pain to myself.”
He paused for a moment, then added, "I'm afraid it will hurt you."
They had suffered so much along the way, and he didn't want her to suffer any more harm.
He heard that childbirth is very, very painful.
That's why I feel even more sorry for Fu Liuying.
Ying Zijing propped her head up: "The technology in the City of the World is so advanced that painless surgery is already available, and there won't be any swelling or other adverse reactions during pregnancy."
“That’s true.” Fu Yunshen paused, raising an eyebrow. “But maybe in a few months, there will be more advanced technology. I can help you have the baby? Hmm?”
His voice was deep and coaxing.
The last syllable was deliberately suppressed, teasing the eardrums little by little.
But his tone was extremely serious.
"No, what if I become shameless by following you?"
"..."
This chat can't continue.
Fu Yunshen patted the girl's head and stood up.
He went up the stairs at the back, came to the rooftop, and looked into the distance.
Not far away, there was a huge advertising screen.
To announce to the world—
I am yours.
You are mine.
**
After staying in the capital for another week, Ying Zijin set off for Luonan with Fifth Month.
This was also her first time visiting Luonan.
Although both Luonan and the capital are places where feng shui masters live, they follow completely different paths.
The capital city values stability and gradual progress, while most people in Luonan want to achieve instant success.
Thus, after entering the 20th century, Luonan's feng shui and fortune-telling circles surpassed those of the capital, and even outpaced many others.
Fifth Month looked at Xize: "Why did you come along too?"
Xize wore his mask very tightly, but his short blond hair was still quite noticeable.
He smoothed his sleeve: "Why can't I come?"
In May, she turned her head away and ignored him.
"I'll go inside and wait for you." Ying Zijing nodded slightly. "I checked, Yueyue, it'll take you at most an hour to get in, provided—"
She paused, then stopped talking, put on her hat and mask, and walked straight ahead.
Xize spoke softly, "Does the boss look down on me?"
May was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
She asked cautiously, "Um, little brother, if I protect you, can it offset part of the debt?"
“Okay.” Xize crossed his arms. “On the condition that you actually protect me.”
The two followed behind Ying Zijin.
The tomb will be opened tomorrow, but quite a few people have already arrived.
Ying Zijing went around to the side door, ignored everything, and walked straight ahead.
Naturally, someone saw it, and an old man became anxious.
"Miss, the divination site hasn't been completed yet. You can't go in; it's dangerous!"
There are also many dangers at the entrance to the tomb, and it is necessary to wait until everyone has arrived before opening the tomb together.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Ying Zijin had already entered the tomb unharmed, and her figure quickly disappeared.
The old man rubbed his eyes and then pinched himself hard.
He must be seeing things; he's just seeing a ghost.
"Hey, you third-degree cripple." Xize turned his head. "There's so much stuff in the tomb, what are you going to do with it?"
“Of course it should be handed over to the museum, or even to Elder Mu.” Fifth Moon frowned. “Look, it’s clearly the Luonan Ancient Tomb, and the news has only just spread, yet so many foreigners have come.”
Xize looked up and glanced around.
As expected, Western faces made up half of the group.
"A fortune teller?"
"Hmm." Fifth Month nodded. "My brother and I have been to O Continent a few times. They're very difficult to deal with. After we go in, we also have to be wary of other people."
A witch hunt in the Middle Ages severely damaged the divination industry in O Continent, but in recent years, the number of diviners has increased significantly, and the industry is slowly recovering.
Caesar frowned as he recalled the curse a fortune teller had placed on him.
Some evil fortune tellers need to be dealt with.
He looked around again, turned back, and raised his chin: "Is that your childhood sweetheart?"
May was confused: "Huh?"
Coincidentally, the Luo family also discovered the Fifth Month.
Their gazes met.
“Fine, May.” The young man said coldly, “You really have two faces. On one hand, you’re talking about breaking off the engagement online, but on the other hand, you’re chasing after Luo Nan.”
"What's wrong? Seeing my cousin and Miss Hongxiu together like a couple makes you feel uneasy?"
Upon hearing this, Xize slowly raised his eyes.
