Zhou Liheng was extremely happy, but he still pretended to be angry. "Who are you? You actually cursed our family? Where's the bodyguard? Get him out now!"
Zhou Man stared blankly at Shan Jukai. Who was this old man? Why was he speaking for her? Was everything he said true?
She didn't expect that after so many years in this circle, the person who was willing to stand up for her was a stranger.
Suddenly, the words of her father came to her mind. Zhou Man's heart moved. Could this person be arranged by her father for her? But would other people believe him?
Five or six bodyguards appeared from all directions. Before they could get close to Shan Jukai, Di Gui, who had brought Shan Jukai in, hurriedly stopped them. "Wait, Brother Zhou, this is my distinguished guest. He is a master of metaphysics with great magical powers!"
"What master of metaphysics? I've never heard of him!"
It can be said that Zhou Liheng used his acting skills to the utmost. For the sake of his most beloved adopted daughter, he gave it his all today.
Zhou Liuan keenly noticed the clues of this matter and cooperated with his father. "Dad, let's listen to Uncle Di's opinion first. Uncle Di has known our family for so many years. I believe he is not the kind of person who speaks without thinking."
Zhou Liheng gave his second son a thumbs up, saying that he really understood the hint.
Di Gui explained, "Master Shan is truly amazing. He saved my life three days ago. As you know, my construction site was recently tripped up by someone, and accidents have been frequent. I've sought help from several so-called masters, but to no avail. I even angered the other party and nearly fell off the elevator at the construction site."
"Later, I sought out Master Shan. Master Shan calculated with his fingers and discovered that a talisman had been secretly buried at my construction site. Not only did he find the object, he also tracked down the person who had plotted against me and made them pay the price."
Everyone had heard of Di Gui's story, but before, it had only been gossip. This was the first time they had heard the specific details, and everyone listened intently. The business world is full of unethical people, and no one can guarantee that they won't encounter similar situations. Many so-called metaphysical masters in the market are scammers, and it's rare to meet a true master. This is why they frequently expressed goodwill towards Shi Miao. Unexpectedly, Di Gui, who hadn't said anything, had actually met a true master.
This master looks to be in his seventies, and his magical powers are definitely more powerful than Shi Miao's.
So everyone looked at Master Shan with heated eyes, and they were all eager to go up to him and build a relationship with him.
The exceptions were Ji Jingyao and Xuanlou. Ji Jingyao was no shortage of masters of metaphysics, so he asked Xuanlou, "Do you know anyone?"
Xuan Lou's voice was heard only by the two of them. "I heard some things from Master. When Shan Jukai was young, he used all means to cultivate, but he suffered backlash and lost in a duel. That's why he disappeared for many years. Everyone thought he was dead, but he's still alive."
"As for the ability, he does have it, but his character is not good. He will suffer retribution sooner or later." Xuanmen disciples like Xuan Lou who follow the right path are naturally unwilling to deal with people like Shan Jukai.
Ji Jingyao asked, "Is what he said true?"
Xuan Lou scoffed, "That's fake! I don't see how Zhou Man's fate would benefit the Zhou family." He pondered for a moment, "It might even be a bit of a hindrance to the two young masters of the Zhou family."
However, he disliked both Zhou Yuntang and Zhou Liuan, and since they hadn't paid him, he didn't bother to play the role of a pushover. Xuanlou crunched the strawberry lollipop in his mouth, shattering it into pieces. His behavior was considered somewhat rude by those in the wealthy world, but everyone's attention was focused on Shan Jukai, leaving him alone. Furthermore, for Ji Jingyao's sake, no one would be so blind as to criticize him.
Zhou Liheng was still acting, "Sorry, Master Shan, I was rude just now."
"You just said that driving Manman away would put our entire family's lives in danger. What did you mean?"
His well-maintained face showed just the right amount of anxiety. "It's okay for me, but nothing can happen to my wife and children!"
Shan Jukai's gaze fell on Shi Miao, his brows furrowed slightly. Shi Miao was beautiful, standing there like a graceful water lotus. But his focus wasn't on Shi Miao's face, but on her facial features!
It is obvious that her horoscope and name have not changed, and her fate should have been determined, but now Dan Jukai can't see Shi Miao's fortune clearly, as if it is wrapped in a layer of fog.
Does she have a new opportunity?
Even so, she was just an eighteen-year-old girl, so she couldn't be that powerful, so how could she fight him?
Shan Jukai retracted his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Zhou Man's horoscope is excellent. She can calm your family and bring prosperity to it. Has your family's business been going smoothly over the years?"
Zhou Liheng nodded solemnly, "That's true. Some big orders are just a wish come true."
Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at Zhou Man with burning eyes. They hadn't expected Zhou Man to have such a good fate. Originally, the Zhou family wasn't much better than them, but now they couldn't even catch up. Was there something else going on with Zhou Man? If they were in her shoes, they would be willing to keep her around forever. If the Zhou family wanted to kick Zhou Man out, they could try adopting her as their daughter.
Wen Chengzhou frowned and sneered, "My sister is largely responsible for the Zhou family's success. It was my sister who brought billions in dowry and helped the Zhou family through the crisis." The Zhou family's funding nearly collapsed, and it was his sister who used her dowry to replenish it and negotiate several deals, stabilizing the situation. Because of this, the Zhou family, to maintain their reputation, sold some of their shares to his sister.
