Shi Miao could naturally see that Shan Jukai possessed considerable skill and was no imposter. But she wasn't afraid either. Even though her cultivation was far inferior to that of her previous life, her months of practice hadn't been in vain. She had already reached the Perfect Qi Refining stage. She had all the necessary spiritual energy and was ready for a breakthrough at any moment. She simply hadn't found the right person to challenge.
Shan Jukai's cultivation level, though unfathomable to others, was instantly apparent to her: he was at the middle stage of Qi Refining. Furthermore, he had likely committed numerous sins, carrying a considerable amount of karma. She could easily harness that karma and kill him. If she were to fall to such a figure, her sworn enemies from her past life would burst into laughter.
Zhou Man's fate and luck were both good, but most likely they were stolen. Stolen things will always be returned one day.
Another point is that her luck is somewhat similar to Shan Jukai's, as if they come from the same source.
Could it be that these two people share a common destiny?
Her biological father loved Zhou Man very much. For her, he specially invited Shan Jukai to act in the play.
She lowered her eyes, her expression still calm, "If Zhou Man's presence can help Mom get better, then she should stay."
Zhou Liheng showed a satisfied expression - this was what Shi Miao said herself, so she should not try to frame Manman or drive Manman out in the future.
Wen Ying said firmly, "I don't believe her fate is good for me. This is the first time I've heard that my fate is bad luck."
Wen Ying no longer trusted her husband, Zhou Liheng, and immediately suspected that this was a setup for Zhou Man. No wonder he, who loved Zhou Man the most, actually took the initiative to kick her out of the house. Was he trying to get them to take the initiative and ask to keep her?
Wen Ying felt as sick as if she'd swallowed a fly. Initially, she'd thought it was okay for her to stay (as long as it didn't interfere with Miaomiao), but now she really didn't want to do what he wanted. She didn't want to expose her biological daughter, whom she had finally found, to the flames, letting others judge her from a moral high ground. She'd rather be the bad guy.
Zhou Liheng didn't expect Wen Ying to be the one who objected the most. He was stunned for a moment, then said with a worried look on his face: "Aying, but I'm afraid something will happen to you."
Wen Ying smiled instead, "It's okay, I'm not afraid."
Shan Jukai was very annoyed and said in a cold tone, "I am kindly giving you some advice out of consideration for Boss Di's hospitality these past few days. If you don't appreciate it, just forget it. But don't ask me for help in the future."
Di Gui was so anxious that he was about to jump up and down, "Master Shan, don't be angry, I will go and persuade them again."
Then he turned to Wen Ying and said, "Wen Ying, don't let it get to your head."
Wen Ying said calmly, "I'm not upset."
Zhou Liheng wanted to hold her hand and looked at her affectionately, "Aying, don't gamble with your life. If anything happens to you, I can't bear it."
Wen Ying took a step back and dodged it directly.
Zhou Liheng's hand stopped there awkwardly. The guests present all noticed that this famously loving couple seemed to have some relationship problems and exchanged glances quickly.
Zhou Man hadn't expected her father to go to such lengths, with her mother risking her own life rather than let her stay. Did she have no motherly affection for her at all? Was all her previous affection fake? Now, the entire wealthy family knew she was disliked by her mother.
Zhou Man was heartbroken beyond words.
Zhou Yuntang and Zhou Liuan joined in the conversation.
"Mom, Dad is right. Your life and health are the most important."
"Yeah, isn't it good for our family to live in harmony like before?" Zhou Yuntang felt a little resentful that Shi Miao had appeared. If she hadn't appeared, this matter would not have been exposed. They could still live in peace and tranquility like before.
Wen Ying looked at her two sons who were acting in the same way as their father, feeling extremely disappointed. She closed her eyes and opened them again, saying in a cold voice, "Manman, you can take all your clothes and jewelry with you. Leave now."
Zhou Manru was struck by lightning, and her body shook unconsciously for a few times. Pei Ze felt pity for her and walked forward to hold her frail body in his arms, "Manman, don't be afraid, you still have me."
Zhou Man buried her head in his arms, her voice filled with tears, "Aze, I have no home anymore."
"Wherever I am, that's your home." Pei Ze said in a firm tone. Manman only has him!
He turned to look at Wen Ying and said coldly, "You will regret driving Manman away today. You don't understand what you have lost."
They lost Manman's pure and sincere feelings for them! That is something that no amount of money can buy.
Zhou Liheng was also heartbroken, but he could only watch Zhou Man being carried away by Pei Ze.
He decided to have Master Shan cast a spell on Wen Ying, keeping her in a coma for a few more months. A month of coma alone couldn't possibly make up for the emotional damage Manman had suffered today. By then, Wen Chengzhou and the others would be on their knees, begging Manman to come back.
On the surface, he just looked at Wen Ying with a worried look on his face, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.
Wen Ying didn't even look at him and said in a cold voice: "Our temple is small and can't afford to support such a big Buddha like Master Shan. Please leave, Master Shan."
It was said to be an invitation, but looking at the bodyguard's eager look, if he didn't leave on his own initiative, he would be kicked out.
Ever since Shan Jukai appeared in public, he has always been a guest of honor in wealthy families and has been treated with courtesy wherever he goes. This is the first time he has received such treatment, and he can't maintain his demeanor as a master, and his face is darker than freshly ground ink.
He smiled wryly, "You don't know how to appreciate kindness!"
Then he turned his sleeves and left!
Di Gui was stunned, stomped his feet hard, looked at Wen Ying with a look of disappointment, and then chased after her.
