The middle-aged wife’s reaction told everyone that there was bound to be more gossip. Everyone wanted Tang Li to tell them everything in one go.
Instead of continuing the gossip, Tang Li said, “I can help you out, but you have to pay me 500,000 yuan. It’s a small business, so I won’t put it on credit… Madam, what do you think about it?”
The middle-aged wife looked at Tang Li. Her face was as beautiful as a porcelain vase, but her eyes looked as if they had magic. In her mind, a voice was saying, “Listen to her, or you’ll regret it.”
At the sound of this voice, she trembled violently.
…
On the other side.
Initially, many people were watching the show to see how the ladies would bully Tang Li. However, as they waited, they felt that something was wrong.
The group of women sat there and did not speak, except for Tang Li.
The atmosphere was actually quite peaceful.
Shangguan MO, who was standing beside Qi Yihan, saw that many people were looking at tladies, so he turned his gaze towards them as well. Then he withdrew his gaze and whispered to Qi Yihan in surprise, “Your wife seems to be very good at dealing with those women.”
Qi Yihan also tilted his head to look over. When he saw that Tang Li was the only one talking while the rest of the women remained in silence, Qi Yihan knew for a fact what his wife was talking about.
She was undoubtedly reading their fortunes because surprises, fears, anticipations were written all across on their faces.
At the thought of this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly. He looked away and said, “Maybe everyone likes her.”
Shangguan MO looked at Qi Yihan with mixed emotions and thought to himself, “There are many women in the circle who are jealous of your wife and want her to make a fool of herself on this kind of occasion. How could they like her?”
He was suddenly curious about how Tang Li managed to defeat the women single-handedly.
At the lounge.
Tang Li did not wait for the middle-aged wife to reply, but instead, she looked at the other ladies.
‘This madam, do you want me to read your fortune?”
Madam Zhang did not expect Tang Li to choose her. She was about to scold Tang Li but thought better of it since this was the Qi family’s territory, so she did not want to make a fool of herselE She said sarcastically, “We’ve heard something about Fourth Madam before, but we’ve never heard that she likes to study superstitions.”
People thought that Tang Li would definitely get mad over hearing those sarcastic words.
However, she smiled and narrowed her eyes. “Look at what this Madam is saying. Can anyone of you tell me who hasn’t got an ancestral hall in your family? I believe for people from our circle, it’s a common thing to somewhat believe in superstition.”
Madam Zhang was suddenly lost for words. She was wondering what kind of things could possibly pop out of her mouth. “Say one thing or two first. Let me see if they are true. If you really hit the nail on the head, I’ll pay you to read my fortune.”
“Fine.” Tang Li had a calm expression on her face. “No matter how healthy the adults are in your family, the third generations are all sick and frail, and this kind of illness is not something treatable. You have sought help from many doctors, but they all told you the same thing, that it’s because the first two generations have done too many bad deeds and now it’s time for the third generations to pay. In the worst case, some of the children in your family can’t live past the age of 10.”
“Am I right?”
When Tang Li touched on the health of her children, Madam Zhang’s body trembled. She was so shocked that her eyes widened and she asked subconsciously, “How did you know?”
“Didn’t I tell you I can read fortunes?”
Tang Li’s expression became serious again. “The situation in your family is slightly more complicated. If you want to crack it, you need to pay me two million yuan. If you think it’s worth it, then come to find me after the banquet. Of course… if you don’t believe me, then forget it.”
Madam Zhangs mouth was agape. Her family’s situation was exactly as Tang Li had said. What made Tang Li more convincing was the fact that Madam Zhang had never told anyone about this before. She did not believe that Tang Li would be so bored as to investigate her family, so there was only one possibility—Tang Li really knew how to read fortunes.
The more she thought about it, the faster her heart beat. Madam Zhang hastened to say, “I’ll come find you after the banquet.”
Tang Li nodded.
The others, on the other hand, felt that Tang Li was just acting mysteriously, and Madam Zhang was being neurotic when it came to her children.
They thought that Tang Li would find someone else to continue her fortune-telling.
Just as everyone was subconsciously holding their breaths and waiting, she gestured for a waiter to come over and asked for a glass of wine.
After taking a sip, she asked everyone politely, “Do you guys want to drink? The wine tonight is not
bad. It’s delicious.”
Finally, a woman lost her patience and asked out of curiosity, “Tang Li, why aren’t you continuing fortune-telling?”
Tang Li glanced at her and said, “I’m only telling fortunes for three people tonight. I’ve already chosen the third person.”
“Tsk! You really take yourself as a master, don’t you? It’s too early to say if you’re legit or not,” another woman who could not stand her nonsense said.
Tang Li continued drinking and ignored her.
The young woman didn’t believe Tang Li, but the older ones did.
The way people looked at Tang Li was now different.
At that moment, there was a commotion at the banquet hall’s door. They subconsciously looked over.
They saw Milus and Lucia walking in, surrounded by the higher-ups of KL Group.
It was obvious that Lucia had put a lot of effort into her dress tonight. The deep V-neck evening dress that was shining with silvers revealed her curvaceous figure. The diamond necklace that was hanging in front of her chest was simply dazzling and eye-catching, and on her head, there was a diamond crown.
At this point, the women sitting in the lounge subconsciously looked at Tang Li, who was also wearing a crown.
Everyone knew that a show was about to begin.
Tonight was bound to be the battle between these two women.
People then started whispering.
“Didn’t just something happen to her last night? If I were her, I would be too ashamed to even go out. I guess she is coming to get Fourth Master.”
“But I heard that the hotel staff arrived in time to stop the other two guys from harming her. It’s very likely that she planned that show because the moment Fourth Master left his seat to go upstairs, she immediately followed suit.”
“I think it’s quite obvious that it’s the case. But I gotta say they’re really something. They actually put Second Master’s son and Third Master of the Xu family in the police station, and neither of the two families can get their people out.”
“I heard that they are the heir and heiress of a governor in M Nation. They asked the M Nation’s embassy to put pressure on the police department.”
“No wonder. I don’t think they really want to do anything to those two. They just want to force Fourth Master to make a decision, right?”
“This is gonna be fun.”.
