Chapter 730: Legendary
Old Madam Fu held her hand and got into the car. Along the way, she asked about Fu Zhaoxiang and Qiu Xingmi.
Soon, they arrived at a house that looked ordinary from the outside. However, as s.h.i.+ Jin followed the butler who welcomed the guests in, she knew that this place was only ordinary on the outside. How could an ordinary family be able to have a three-story house and an exquisite and quiet courtyard in the capital?
She helped Old Madam Fu up the stairs.
“Madam Fu, our old madam has been waiting for you for a long time,” the butler said with a smile. “This is…”
“My granddaughter-in-law has just returned from Hong Kong. Isn’t she very beautiful?”
The butler smiled and said, “I’ve never seen such a beautiful young lady. Master Fu has good taste and good fortune.”
As she walked all the way inside, she heard a voice say, “Are you here, old sister?”
Old Madam Fu smiled and said, “That’s right.”
“Heyan is here too?”
“Heyan is pregnant and is a little lazy today, so she didn’t follow us. This is Xiuyuan’s wife,” Old Madam Fu introduced. She said to s.h.i.+ Jin, “This is Old Madam Bai. You can call her Grandma Bai.”
/
“h.e.l.lo, Grandma Bai,” s.h.i.+ Jin greeted graciously.
Old Madam Bai had already stood up to welcome her. When she saw s.h.i.+ Jin, her eyes lit up. “Aiya, this girl is beautiful. Not bad. I’ve heard about you in Hong Kong in the capital. You found a diamond mine, right? You even avoided a disaster that saved hundreds of people, right?”
“Yes, I’ve indeed been lucky enough to do these things,” s.h.i.+ Jin replied politely.
“Ah, good, good. I’ve already said that the Li family is a family that can produce talents. The children raised by Old Master Li are all good. As it turns out, my judgment was right. Sit down, sit down, don’t stand there.”
s.h.i.+ Jin sat down and the Old Madam Bai looked her up and down. The more she looked, the more satisfied she was.
“s.h.i.+ Jin, let me ask you something,” Old Madam Bai said to s.h.i.+ Jin.
“Please go ahead.”
“I heard from Hong Kong that you can tell fortunes by reading people’s birth characters. That’s how you saved everyone from the island summit. I’ve heard all about it in the capital. Is that true?”
s.h.i.+ Jin did not expect these words to spread so far. Back then, she had only said it in a moment of desperation.
She had no choice but to say, “I’m not that G.o.dly. I’ve only roughly learned a little.”
“That’s good. I also want you to help me calculate. What do you think?” Old Madam Bai looked at her eagerly and asked.
s.h.i.+ Jin actually did not know this Old Madam Bai very well. Seeing that she was asking so sincerely, she could not reject her directly. She could only say, “Then tell me what it is. I’ll try my best to take a look, but I’m really not very proficient. Don’t blame me if I’m wrong.”
“I have a grandson who’s almost eighteen years old. He’s so naughty every day that he only knows how to play. He refuses to do anything else but play games. Seeing that the child is growing up day by day, I’m not the only one who’s worried. His parents are also extremely worried. I’m wondering if I should throw him into the army to train him or throw him to Africa so that he can suffer for two years and know that life is difficult. However, this child has never suffered since he was young. How can he withstand such torture? I really can’t bear to. Hurry up and help me see where I should throw him.”
Old Madam Bai looked at s.h.i.+ Jin expectantly.
s.h.i.+ Jin felt a headache coming on. She had no idea what the boy’s name was.
Fortunately, Old Madam Fu immediately said, “The child’s name is Yue Lanchen. As for his birth characters, Old Madam Bai, see if you can give them to s.h.i.+ Jin.”
Speaking of Yue Lanchen, s.h.i.+ Jin had some impression.
The Yue family seemed to be the current presidential family of the Imperial Capital?
Yue Lanchen seemed to be the president’s nephew. His status was extraordinary.
No wonder the place where Old Madam Bai lived was so ill.u.s.trious.
“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll give you the birth characters,” Old Madam Bai said to s.h.i.+ Jin.
s.h.i.+ Jin did not know much about this Yue Lanchen, mainly because she had not heard of his name in her previous life. However, he did not seem to be very famous.
She could tell that Old Madam Bai was worried about him and knew that Africa was more or less in a mess.
She said, “Grandma Bai, your grandson’s fate is too rich. I can’t predict anything accurately, but it shouldn’t be too suitable for him overseas.”
“Is that so? That’s good, that’s good. I knew those small countries were chaotic and poor. How could we send our children to those places?” Old Madam Bai sighed.
Obviously, what s.h.i.+ Jin said suited her.
“What about sending him to the army?” Old Madam Bai asked.
s.h.i.+ Jin really couldn’t make a judgment casually. She could only say, “That depends on his opinion. If he’s willing, it’s quite good for him to temper himself.”
“I’m not willing to go,” a clear voice said. The young boy glanced in their direction. “Enough of that nonsense. If you really want to send me to a place I don’t want to go, I’ll find a place to work by myself!”
It was obvious that this was Yue Lanchen. He had an outstanding face, but his words were unreliable as he stomped upstairs.
“Lanchen!” Old Madam Bai said anxiously. “Butler, stop him!”
The butler brought people to stop them. Old Madam Bai said anxiously, “Hey, this child, this child! I’ve really embarra.s.sed myself in front of you.”
“Which child isn’t like this when they’re young?” Old Madam Fu comforted her. “It’ll be fine if they’re older. Be patient.”
“This child has been spoiled since he was young. When he grew up, he became extremely rebellious. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have ended up like this today,” Old Madam Bai said.
s.h.i.+ Jin thought of herself and could not help but sympathize. Many children who grew up in wealthy families might not be short of money, but they lacked love and understanding.
For someone like Yue Lanchen to live in such a family, he must have been pampered by others, but who would really understand his thoughts?
The butler rushed over. “It’s bad. Young Master has gone through the window.”
“Ah!” Old Madam Bai couldn’t breathe. Her eyes rolled back and she fell straight onto the sofa.
“Old Madam, Old Madam!” the butler called anxiously. “Old Madam, what is the matter?”
“Aiya, Old Madam Bai!” Old Madam Fu was also very anxious. “Quickly call the emergency number!”
Panicked, the butler went to make the call.
s.h.i.+ Jin hurriedly helped Old Madam Bai lie flat on the ground and unb.u.t.toned her clothes. She said to Old Madam Fu, “Grandma, I’ll give Grandma Bai CPR immediately. Her condition is urgent, so we have to do it immediately.”
