Father Shen was acutely aware that Shi Miao was more inclined toward her than Cheng Zhiming. He didn't understand why. With his cousin Shen Rou as a partner, shouldn't Shi Miao be on their side? Could it be that the other party was truly such a noble person, standing solely for what was right? He didn't believe such a person existed.
Mother Shen held it in for a long time, but still couldn't hold it in, "Miao Miao, did you calculate it wrong? Our Chi Wei has a good face that many masters have praised."
Hearing this, Father Shen's face changed drastically - this idiot! Does she think her life is too easy?
Shi Miao's expression was cold. "Since you don't believe in my ability, I won't accept any orders from your Shen family in the future. You can go find those fortune-tellers."
Father Shen said hurriedly: "My wife was too happy today and drank too much. She was just talking drunkenly. Don't take it seriously."
Mother Shen felt aggrieved and regretful, she suppressed her temper and said, "I'm sorry, I got drunk today."
Father Shen then said to Cheng Zhiming, "You are a first-class good child, and it is my son who is unlucky. For your own good, I have no choice but to cancel the engagement."
He also had the engagement gift he'd prepared in advance brought to Cheng Zhiming, calling it a gift of apology. The Shen family was, after all, a wealthy one, and even if Shen's father secretly despised Cheng Zhiming's background, the gifts they had prepared were quite respectable: a large apartment, two shops, and a million-dollar fortune in gold.
Cheng Zhiming looked a little dazed. She had originally prepared herself to be ridiculed after canceling the engagement, as long as she got the benefits. She hadn't expected Shi Miao to side with her and shift the blame to Chen Chiwei. This time, she had both the face and the money.
Her eyes couldn't help but well up, and she couldn't tell what she was feeling. Puzzled, touched, flattered... a mixture of all.
She never expected that an even bigger surprise was yet to come.
Shi Miao looked at her with a smile, "I see that you have extraordinary roots, and we have a master-disciple relationship."
Cheng Zhiming felt like he had won the lottery jackpot. He felt like he was walking on clouds and was dizzy.
Wasn't that her hallucination just now?
She subconsciously held her breath, afraid that a slight breath would wake her from this beautiful dream. "Master Shi, are you really going to take me as your disciple?"
She actually had the talent to be a charlatan? She wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
"Yeah, so what's your answer?"
Cheng Zhiming knelt down and said, "Disciple pays homage to Master!"
She also kowtowed three times very sincerely, bang bang bang, and the sound made people feel painful.
Shi Miao helped her up. She took off the necklace from her neck and put it on Cheng Zhiming. "This is my gift to you."
The whole audience was stunned.
Mother Shen stared at the scene blankly - Cheng Zhiming actually had such good fortune, no wonder Shi Miao was so partial to her. In front of Shi Miao's disciple status, the so-called family background shortcomings could be ignored.
If she had not cancelled the engagement, she would have had a future master of metaphysics as her daughter-in-law, and she wondered how many people would envy her.
However, because she looked down on her background, she pushed her out personally and offended Shi Miao.
She was wrong, she was really wrong. She had betrayed her own son!
The feeling of regret overwhelmed her, drowning her whole body and making it difficult for her to breathe. This stimulation was too great, causing Mother Shen to let out a wail and fall backwards.
