1696 Asking Chi Shuyan for Help
Xia Mingcheng was also someone who was swift to act. After his mother finished speaking, he immediately left the ward and found a moment to make a phone call.
Not long after Chi Shuyan finished reading the information her man had given her, Xia Mingcheng suddenly called her. She thought that he was calling because of his brother, but when he probed about the abortion, Chi Shuyan frowned and said solemnly, “What did you say?”
Xia Mingcheng recounted how Yuan Yuan had told the Ni family to get an abortion. Although Xia Mingcheng was familiar with Master Chi, he didn’t dare push his luck. He said respectfully, “Master Chi, the Ni family has a particularly good relationship with my family. My mother received a call earlier, and she wanted me to ask you about this. She wants to ask if there’s any other way apart from the Ni family getting an abortion.” After a pause, Xia Mingcheng quickly said, “It’s fine if there’s no other way. Master Chi, it’s just that getting an abortion sounds too absurd to me. In addition, it was that Yuan woman who told the Ni family to get an abortion. I don’t trust her character. I keep feeling that it’s strange. I’m afraid she has other motives, which is why I wanted to ask you!”
If Xia Mingcheng had told her about this before she got the information today, she really might not have been able to answer his question, nor could she immediately confirm the other party’s motive. However, she had already gotten her man to investigate the woman; almost all the people whom the Yuan woman read physiognomy for were either rich or from upper-class families.
As for the Ni family, she had some impression of them.
The Ni family’s background was good, and the Aunt Ni whom Xia Mingcheng mentioned had a very good relationship with Mother Xia. Also, Aunt Ni was the first client whom Yuan Yuan took the initiative to curry favor with.
After seeing her ‘skill’ at reading physiognomy, Aunt Ni trusted Yuan Yuan very much, and even more so when Yuan Yuan indeed helped her escape a few misfortunes.
Originally, the Yuan woman just wanted to curry favor with Aunt Ni, and hoped that she would say more good things about her to Mother Xia and introduce more clients to her so that she could enter the circle and gain both fame and fortune.
It was just that later, Aunt Ni suddenly asked her to help read the birth characters and marriage fate of her son and his girlfriend, and even introduced them to the Yuan woman.
This was also the spark that caused the incident. The Ni family didn’t know Yuan Yuan’s character, nor did they know that she subconsciously rejected couples who got along well because she hated Yan Liling.
After Chi Shuyan read all the information, she only had a few words to say about the Yuan woman: “ill intent” and “twisted heart.” The Ni family’s eldest son and his girlfriend just so happened to have a very good relationship, which was an eyesore to Yuan Yuan. It was the Ni family’s bad luck to have run into that Yuan woman, especially the Ni couple.
Chi Shuyan was now almost certain it was just that the Ni couple had been an eyesore to that Yuan woman. As for what that woman said about a jinx, that was simply absurd.
Chi Shuyan originally thought that this woman was just breaking up a couple. When she found out from Xia Mingcheng that Yuan Yuan even wanted the Ni family to get an abortion, Chi Shuyan’s eyes flashed coldly – it could no longer be said that this woman’s heart was just a little twisted, but very twisted; she didn’t care about a human life at all. Chi Shuyan swiftly replied to Xia Mingcheng, “If you trust me, you better advise the Ni family not to have an abortion or blindly believe in jinxes. If the Ni family really gets an abortion, their family will definitely regret it in the future!”
Xia Mingcheng naturally stood on Master Chi’s side and trusted her more. He immediately nodded and said, “Master Chi, I understand. I’ll talk to the Ni family properly.”
Chi Shuyan’s eyes flashed and she suddenly decided. “I’ll go to the hospital tomorrow. You can have the Ni family come by.”
In the end, this involved a human life. Chi Shuyan still couldn’t bear to see a human life lost just like that. In addition, Xia Mingcheng had called to ask for her help, so she couldn’t not say anything.
Xia Mingcheng was very happy and excited at her words. He also knew that it was unlikely that the Ni family wouldn’t get an abortion just because he said not to. If Master Chi was present, everything would naturally be different. He had a good relationship with the eldest son of the Ni family. Now that he knew they were facing a problem, he couldn’t bear to watch something happen to the other party’s child. Xia Mingcheng was very grateful.
However, there was one thing he didn’t understand. The Ni family had nothing to do with Yuan Yuan, so why did that woman want to harm the Ni family for no reason?
Xia Mingcheng asked the question. Chi Shuyan curled her lip and said, “Do you really want to know?”
Xia Mingcheng didn’t think much of it and nodded to indicate that he did want to know. He was worried that not only had this woman harmed Yang Ji and the others, she had also harmed other innocent people.
Chi Shuyan didn’t deliberately keep him in suspense, and directly recounted the information she had just read and how the woman had broken up a dozen couples. Seeing that Xia Mingcheng was unusually silent, Chi Shuyan curled her lip and said, “To a certain extent, this matter has a fair bit to do with you. The couples that Miss Yuan break up generally get along very well. Do you understand now?”
As soon as Chi Shuyan said that, Xia Mingcheng, who was a smart person, immediately understood. His expression immediately turned disgusted, as if he had just swallowed a fly. A thick sense of hate flashed in his eyes. It could be said that he had never hated someone so much, let alone a woman.
“Okay, let’s not talk about it for now. Contact the Ni family first, then let me know!”
