When Chi Shuyan entered the school, she didn’t expect to run into Counselor Zhang. He subconsciously called out to the girl to re-educate her so that she wouldn’t go down the wrong path and be ruined by unscrupulous people.
While Counselor Zhang was trying to persuade her, he saw that the little girl was staring at his neck. He subconsciously looked down and saw the Safety Talisman which the little girl had given to him on a red string around his neck.
Counselor Zhang’s face froze, his expression as stiff and wonderful as how earnest his words had been just now.
Actually, he was a materialist who had received scientific education since childhood. How could he believe in such superstitions? He wasn’t a believer, but his wife was a Buddhist, and a virtuous, gentle, and kind-hearted person.
As soon as she saw the talismans in his pocket, she immediately said that she would put them on a red string, and everyone in the family would take one each.
In addition, her son had fallen hard for no reason this time and broken his leg. Counselor Zhang’s wife felt more at ease with the Safety Talisman.
His wife had already said so, and his son even praised how beautiful this thing was. Counselor Zhang was especially obedient to his wife and doted on his child, so he could only carry this talisman with him. At first, he just wanted to put this talisman in his pocket, but his wife said she would put it on a red string so that it wouldn’t go missing, and he had to wear it around his neck.
He had returned to school in a hurry, and he didn’t know when the talisman had fallen out.
Hadn’t his student caught him red-handed?
Chi Shuyan looked at Counselor Zhang in front of her. Although there was still cadaveric qi on his forehead, it hadn’t increased, and was still showing signs of diminishing. She immediately beamed. “Counselor Zhang, I didn’t see anything!”
He saw through this little girl’s ability to lie through her teeth. He hurriedly stuffed back the talisman that was around his neck, coughed softly a few times, and said, “My wife forced me to carry this talisman. But, Shuyan, I still have to say this properly: feudal superstitions can’t be fully believed. Having a belief is fine, but don’t indulge too much. I’ll give you a warning this time; I won’t record or report this. Go back and think about it properly.”
Chi Shuyan immediately said, “Yes, sir!”
Everyone was in the dorm when Chi Shuyan got back. She greeted Yang Lan and Zhen Yu before going to the washroom.
Tang Ningbao’s face was very unsightly and she wasn’t in a good mood, especially when she remembered how a few of her friends had brought up Chi Shuyan. They were all praising how handsome and rich her boyfriend was.
At first, Tang Ningbao gloated and secretly hinted that Chi Shuyan’s boyfriend was good-looking, but was poor and a gambler.
Who would have thought that as soon as she opened her mouth, someone immediately retorted that Chi Shuyan’s boyfriend had been dressed in high-end branded clothes that were priceless and expensive. He had also been wearing a limited edition watch which cost a few million. It was absolutely impossible for him to be a poor man. On the contrary, he wasn’t an ordinary rich man. His imposing manner and aura weren’t things ordinary rich people could compare with.
Tang Ningbao’s mood was very complicated at that moment. She still didn’t want to believe what the others said, but her friends were all quite rich. They usually had very sharp eyes, and they were very enthusiastic about branded goods and whatnot, and knew them like the back of their hands.
The more Tang Ningbao thought about it, the more unsettled she felt. The more she thought about it, the more she wondered that if Chi Shuyan’s boyfriend was really extraordinarily rich, why did this woman ask her boyfriend to treat them to a cheap food stall?
She even had her boyfriend put on a poor show.
Or was this woman surnamed Chi wary of them from the beginning, afraid that they would hook up with her rich boyfriend?
The more Tang Ningbao thought about it, the angrier she became. She suddenly called out to Yang Lan and said, “Yang Lan, I apologize for quarreling with you previously. By the way, I have something to tell you. Can you come out for a while?”
