The matter was almost resolved. After the two left, Chi Shuyan also said goodbye and left first. Mother Xia originally wanted to see her off, but Xia Mingcheng stopped her and personally went to see the Master off. At the same time, he told the Master about his recent progress with Yuan Yuan.
Xia Mingcheng was pretty efficient in getting things done and was in pretty good shape mentally, Xia Mingcheng thanked Master Chi on behalf of the Ni family’s eldest son and his wife again.
Chi Shuyan waved her hand and said a few polite words. Ni Zhaoyang and Miss Yao were a match made in heaven and were fated to be husband and wife. If Yuan Yuan hadn’t deliberately provoked conflict out of jealousy, it would have been natural for the couple to get married. Their future children would be full of promise and filial, and the family would be very happy. Chi Shuyan just wanted to bring the fate of this young couple back on the right path. Looking at their physiognomies today, they were both rare good people, so she didn’t mind helping them out a little more.
When Xia Mingcheng heard this, he increasingly felt that this Yuan woman didn’t have a good character at all. If it wasn’t for Master Chi, he was afraid that the couple’s marriage fate would truly have been severed. Xia Mingcheng felt lingering fear just thinking about it.
The two chatted for a while longer before Chi Shuyan took a taxi and left.
Not long after she left, Ni Zhaoyang called Xia Mingcheng again to express his gratitude. Xia Mingcheng didn’t say much and just told him to listen to Master Chi and cherish their marriage fate.
Ni Zhaoyang found Mingcheng’s words very awkward. He didn’t know when his friend started believing in such things. Master Chi had helped his family so much this time, so he couldn’t doubt that she was a swindler, but it was difficult for him to believe that she really was an expert.
At most, Ni Zhaoyang felt that the Master whom Mingcheng had introduced was very different from those swindlers in the past. At least, she had a conscience. Whether she was really capable or not, he couldn’t say.
Ni Zhaoyang didn’t continue with this topic, but suddenly asked, “By the way, I just returned to the country and was busy with my wife, so I forgot to ask about you and my sister-in-law. How have the two of you been recently? When is the wedding? Do you need my help?”
Ni Zhaoyang was naturally referring to Yan Liling.
At the mention of Yan Liling, Xia Mingcheng felt like he had been stabbed in the heart, causing his face to change drastically and turn very unsightly. However, Xia Mingcheng was very sensible. He knew that Ni Zhaoyang had been abroad for a while and didn’t know about Liling. Xia Mingcheng couldn’t take his anger out on him. He frowned and was silent for a while before he gasped heavily and said, “She’s gone!”
He had seen Mingcheng’s girlfriend before. She was young, so how could she be dead?
As many absurd thoughts flashed through Ni Zhaoyang’s mind, he heard Mingcheng say gloomily, “Mm, she’s gone. I’m not joking with you!”
The atmosphere instantly froze.
Ni Zhaoyang was very glad that he wasn’t talking to Mingcheng face-to-face. If they were, he wouldn’t know what to say at that moment. At the same time, he was sure that Mingcheng wasn’t joking with him. His girlfriend really was dead. Who knew what happened to her? Ni Zhaoyang sighed and was very worried about Mingcheng. “Are you okay, Mingcheng?”
“I’m fine!”
“What happened?” It wasn’t a car accident, was it? Ni Zhaoyang blurted out the question, but felt right after that that it wasn’t appropriate, so he hurriedly changed the subject. “Mingcheng, actually, I called to ask you what your mother meant by the last thing she said to me just now! By the way, I’ve also seen that Master Yuan before. If I remember correctly, she was an ordinary girl. When did she become a Master?”
When his mother took him and his wife to see Master Yuan, Ni Zhaoyang recognized her. Because of Mingcheng, he had met Miss Yuan a few times in the past. At that time, when Mingcheng was getting along with his girlfriend, this girl surnamed Yuan kept staring at him covertly. Ni Zhaoyang remembered that he had even teased Mingcheng at that time and told him to deal with this matter properly. He knew from experience that sometimes, a woman’s jealousy could be quite scary.
He had said a lot at that time, but who knew if Mingcheng had heard him.
Ni Zhaoyang had only asked the question casually; he obviously didn’t expect his words to remind Xia Mingcheng that Ni Zhaoyang had told him back then that Yuan Yuan liked him, and had also told him to deal with this issue as soon as possible, or there would be endless trouble in the future. At that time, Xia Mingcheng didn’t think much of it, nor did he think that Yuan Yuan liked him.
Recalling this now, Ni Zhaoyang’s words were indeed accurate. No matter how much Xia Mingcheng regretted it, there was no medicine for regret.
Not to mention how terrible Xia Mingcheng felt at that moment, he couldn’t even breathe. He didn’t want to mention this matter again, so he solemnly instructed Ni Zhaoyang again, “You must listen to my mother’s last words to you and keep your mother away from that Yuan woman!” Recalling what this woman had done, Mingcheng paused and said faintly again, “This woman is far more terrifying than you can imagine!”
