Chapter 556: Charity Ball!
“When did I say that I wanted a second child?”
Su Youwei’s words stunned Su Yuhan slightly. She looked around and said with blus.h.i.+ng cheeks, “Moreover, even if I really want to have a second child, shouldn’t I see a doctor? What does it have to do with a fortune-teller?”
“Stop pretending!”
Su Youwei giggled, “Uncle Ye and Auntie Wu told me that Ye Chen has returned for more than half a year. There’s nothing happening to your belly at all. They’re worried.”
“Are you serious? My in-laws even told you this?” Su Yuhan was so embarra.s.sed that she wanted to find a hole to hide in it.
“They’re not wrong. Look, you’re already over 30 years old. I heard it’s not good for women to give birth after 30.”
Su Youwei rolled her eyes and said, “Moreover, Mengmeng is almost five years old. She’s going to be sensible soon. It’s good that you can give her a younger brother.”
At this point, she added, “Coincidentally, I met the master before. He’s really smart, and many of my friends in the industry went to him. After I told him about your situation, he said that giving birth is sometimes dependent on fate. If it’s not in your fate, you cannot force it.”
“Forget it!”
Su Yuhan shook her head without thinking. Although she was anxious about giving birth to a second child, she was not superst.i.tious enough to go to a fortune-teller.
Moreover, she knew what Ye Chen was capable of. In her eyes, no master was better than Ye Chen. Instead of going to a fortune-teller, she might as well ask Ye Chen directly.
“Since you’re already here, you’ve nothing to lose even if you see him!”
Ignoring Su Yuhan’s objection, Su Youwei grabbed her hand and walked into Dongdu Hotel. The two sisters entered a luxurious private room eventually.
When they pushed open the door, they realized that there were many young men and women seated inside. They were dressed extravagantly. If one looked closely, they would realize that these people were surrounding an old man in white.
The old man was dressed in a Daoist robe and had a head full of white hair. His entire body was filled with an immortal aura. Even when facing so many celebrities from the entertainment industry, he kept his eyes closed as if he was meditating.
“Weiwei, you’re here!”
At that moment, a handsome young man walked up to them. He was tall and wore a black jacket. His gaze towards Su Youwei was filled with tenderness.
Su Youwei went up and kissed him on the cheek. Subsequently, she turned around and said to Su Yuhan, who was puzzled, “Sister, let me introduce you. This is Lin Han, my current boyfriend.”
“Y-Your boyfriend?” Su Yuhan was caught off guard.
She did not expect her sister, Su Youwei, to have a boyfriend.
“Yeah, he’s really nice!”
Su Youwei smiled sweetly before introducing Lin Han, “This is my sister, Su Yuhan. She’s the president of a listed company!”
“h.e.l.lo, Ms. Su!”
Lin Han extended his hand to Su Yuhan politely, “I’ve always heard Weiwei say that she has a beautiful sister. I didn’t believe it at first. I didn’t expect it to be true. Ms. Su is even prettier than she said!”
“h.e.l.lo!”
Su Yuhan shook his hand and recalled her hand right away as soon as their hands touched. She looked up and glared at Su Youwei, “Why didn’t you tell me that you’ve found a boyfriend?”
“I’ve only known Lin Han for less than half a month. I didn’t have the chance to tell you,” Su Youwei held Lin Han’s hand and stuck out her tongue playfully.
‘They had only known each other for less than half a month and they had already confirmed their relations.h.i.+p?’
Su Yuhan’s smile froze. She did not say anything in the end.
At that moment, a woman dressed in revealing clothes stood up and walked to the old man in white, “Master Tian, I would like to ask you a question. A while ago, I went to Thailand for a vacation. After I returned, I had nightmares. In my dreams, a three-year-old girl would often chase after me.”
At this point, her face turned slightly pale, “Furthermore, she is very fierce. Even if I don’t sleep, I would hear gla.s.s beads falling on the floor in the middle of the night, or even the sound of a child bouncing a ball.”
The entire room fell silent after she said that. Everyone could not help but look at the lady and the old man in white. Even Su Yuhan and her sister were no exception.
Someone laughed, “Ms. Tong, could it be that you’re being paranoid? The sound of gla.s.s beads and rubber b.a.l.l.s should be the children playing upstairs.”
“Yes, I also heard that the sound of the gla.s.s bead falling was not a supernatural occurrence, but a type of bacteria growing on the ceiling, and it was the bacteria that made the noise.”
“…”
“No, that’s not it!”
The woman shook her head, “The residential area I’m staying at is new, and there are no children there. Furthermore, I moved into the hotel for a few days, and the same thing happened.”
Everyone’s expression changed.
Someone could not help but look at the old man in white, “Master Tian, what do you think is going on with her?”
Meeting everyone’s gaze, the old man in white slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at the lady with the surname Tong and said, “Ms. Tong, when you went to Thailand, did you go to their temple?”
“H-How did you know?”
The woman with the surname Tong widened her eyes as if she had discovered something unbelievable.
Master Tian shook his head and said, “The temples in Thailand usually wors.h.i.+p an existence called k.u.man Thong. I think you must’ve accidentally offended a k.u.man Thong!”
“What’s a k.u.man Thong?”
“I heard that k.u.man Thong is a form of a child that was made of the ashes and hair of children who died at a young age. A mage was then asked to bless the k.u.man Thong.”
A slightly older middle-aged man’s expression changed slightly, “I heard that this k.u.man Thong blessed by an expert has spiritual power and can help people alter their luck.”
“I’ve heard about it before. k.u.man Thongs are very popular in Thailand, and the temples in Thailand usually wors.h.i.+p k.u.man Thongs. Some tourists would choose to adopt one when they travel.”
The other young man nodded.
Tong took a deep breath in and said, “Master Tian’s guess is right. I went to a temple in Thailand and saw many children’s statues in the temple. I thought it was pretty cute, so I touched it. I accidentally broke one.”
“It’s fine if it was broken, but you secretly packed the clay figurines and took them away because you were afraid of being discovered?” Master Tian’s gaze seemed to be able to see through one’s mind.
“Y-You knew that as well?”
Ms. Tong’s expression changed again, “M-Master, could it be that what happened to me recently has something to do with k.u.man Thong?”
“Of course!”
Master Tian shook his head slightly and said, “k.u.man Thong is actually a spirit infant. They’re mostly children who died early. As they live in resentment and cannot be reincarnated, an eminent monk made them into k.u.man Thong and wors.h.i.+ped them in the temple to dispel the resentment, or they were taken away by benefactors to acc.u.mulate good karma.
You destroyed a k.u.man Thong, which means you’ve destroyed their home. Instead of explaining the situation to the person in charge, you took the broken pieces with you.
How could it not hate you for offending it?”
At this point, he could not help but look at the woman with the surname Tong, “Its resentment isn’t deep yet at the moment. At most, it will hara.s.s you and scare you. However, it might endanger your life after some time.”
Everyone was shocked as soon as he said that.
The woman fell to her knees and begged, “Master, please save me. I’m willing to pay you no matter how much you’re asking!”
