Chapter 7: Intercepted luck (Part 1)

When Father Jiang heard the voice, he came out immediately of the room and frowned when he saw Jiang Wei leading two strangers inside. Fortune Telling, Feng Shui reading, he also tried these things before. Whether it was about opening a company or place where to build a factory, everyone calls some master to calculate the auspicious date for them to make a fortune. He also let someone put a fortune array in his office before. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, the fist tank looked very eye-catching.

However, Father Jiang started from scratch. Although he also spent some money on these kinds of things, he doesn’t believe in it. Since the beginning, he believed that he earned money from perseverance and hard work. If this fortune-telling or feng shui reading works, his career will not be ruined.

However, now that their family ended up like this, Father Jiang doesn’t want to offend anyone, nor make his son lose a face. But Father Jiang also made up his mind. He will offer some tea and talk about their situation. As long as he emphasized to the other party that they don’t have money, he was sure that this fortune teller will leave.

“Master, please sit down!” Father Jiang smiled and extended his hand at Fatty Wang: “The house is small and has been neglected.”

Fatty Wang took a step back when he saw Father Jiang extending his hand to him, then pushed Lin Qingyin in front: “This is our Master, Master Lin Qingyin.”

Father Jiang was stunned when he saw the little girl with a high chin. This master was too young! He stared at Fatty Wang and Lin Qingyin repeatedly. However, he couldn’t figure out what was going on. He couldn’t help but wonder. In the past, people looked for older people, but now their trend has changed?

Anyway, no matter who the master was, he has no intention of spending money on them at all. Father Jiang invited the two to sit down on the sofa, and he turned over the boxes to look for another tea.

“You don’t need to trouble yourself!” Lin Qingyin said: “I know you don’t believe me inside your heart, and you don’t plan to keep us for too long.”

The smile on Father Jiang’s face got stiffed. Hearing Lin Qingyin’s words, he no longer tried to hide his thoughts. He awkwardly smiled and said: “The main reason is that our family can’t afford to pay the master, you will only work in vain.”

“Your son has already paid me.” Lin Qingyin took out the jade pendant: “This is what he gave me.”

When Father Jiang saw the jade pendant, his eyes widen in shocked and he looked at Jiang Wei in disbelief. Jiang Wei slightly turned his head and didn’t dare to meet his father’s eyes. He stiffly said: “If our situation goes on like this, this jade pendant will be sold sooner or later, so we might as well take it out and give it a try.”

Father Jiang clenched his fists, but his son had graduated from university. No matter how angry he was, he couldn’t beat him in front of outsiders. He could only glare at him: “Do you know how much that jade pendant can be sold?”

Lin Qingyin didn’t know how much the jade pendant was worth. She carefully touched it and looked at Father Jiang with bright eyes: “You can rest assured, that if you can’t solve your family’s problem, I will give you back this jade pendant.”

Father Jiang couldn’t sustain the smile on his face anymore: “How will you solve it? Help me financially or find someone to lend me money? I don’t believe a fortune teller can solve this kind of problem.”

“Jiang Wei has a good fortune in his life and is born with wealth. Although your success is related to your hard work, you will not have such a big business without the blessing brought by Jiang Wei.” Lin Qingyin stood up and poke her finger to Jiang Wei’s forehead: “Someone moved his hands on the dark and cover Jiang Wei with bad luck, and took away his good fortune.”

Father Jiang was dumbfounded and looked at Lin Qingyin like a madman: “Little girl, have you finished your summer homework? Have you been watching too much on TV recently?”

When Lin Qingyin remembered the summer homework that she worked on for hours spent but only finished two pages, her stomach turned green. She put her hands on her stomach and angrily said: “If I can solve your problem, you will finish my summer homework for me.”

Father Jiang couldn’t help but slammed his hand on the table and said: “Alright, I’ll finish your summer homework for you!”

Lin Qingyin stretched out her hand and pointed at the red string that was hanging on Father Jiang’s neck: “You take off that thing you wear on your neck first.”

Father Jiang put his hand on his chest to blocked her sight and looked at Lin Qingyin with some doubt: “What are you trying to do? Are you not satisfied with my son’s jade pendant so you want to this away too?

Mother Jiang came over and pushed Father Jiang a little. She untied the jade pendant on her neck and handed it to Lin Qingyin: “Little girl, Jiang Wei’s father has a grumpy temper. Don’t mind him too much. This necklace is a wedding anniversary gift given to us by his best friend. It’s not worth much money. However, he said that he asked a monk to blessed this to protect us from danger. Therefore, he and I have been wearing this. Oh right, this thing is truly magical, we had a car accident after wearing this for 2 days. Because of this jade pendant, we only had skin injuries and minor bleeding. Nothing else bad happened to us.”

Lin Qingyin touched the red lines in the jade pendant and gave Mother Jiang a pitiful look: “If you didn’t wear this jade pendant, you won’t have a car accident, and you won’t be in this kind of situation now.”

Father Jiang was stunned: “What do you mean by that?”

Lin Qingyin lightly smiled and put the jade pendant back on the table: “Jiang Wei’s good fortune has been covered by bad luck for 2 years now. If I am right, your car accident happened 2 years ago. Think about it carefully, didn’t everything go wrong after that incident? And the person who gave you this necklace should have the same problem as you 2 years ago, isn’t it?”

Father Jiang’s face suddenly turned pale. He looked down at the jade pendant he had worn on his neck for 2 years now. He doesn’t believe that this matter had anything to do with his good brother.
