Chi Shuyan just called when Chi Lingyan, who was wearing an apron with a duckling on the chest, came out with his long legs and asked, “What’s wrong, sweetie?”

“Grandpa and Grandma are calling.” Chi Shuyan ran over and handed him the phone while Chi Lingyan’s brow furrowed. He had a falling out with his sister’s family on the front foot and his parents called on the hind foot. He thought it was no coincidence. He glanced at Chi Shuyan and said, “The meal is almost ready, sweetie, wait a little longer.” After saying this, he took his phone and went to the kitchen to answer the call.

Chi Shuyan stared at his tall back, pursed her lips, and smiled a bit mockingly. All at once, she guessed that her Aunt must have complained to her grandparents.

She turned on the TV, which happened to be on an entertainment channel, and the huge caption caught her attention. A currently popular starlet and the Capital’s Ninth Master Qi were caught in an explosive love scandal? The question mark after the allegation was much smaller than the powerful font. The gossipy host there asked the popular actress about her relationship with Ninth Master Qi. The actress gently bit her lip and said that she was just a friend, but her tone was vague and questionable. With innumerable twists and turns, people who had heard it would think it wasn’t that simple. Sure enough, the host sniffed something fishy and was even more excited to investigate in detail.

Chi Shuyan snorted coldly-?what a claptrap. For the sake of gaining attention, she dared to weave tales involving the Qi family. That would be courting death without knowing why. Although she hadn’t met this Ninth Master Qi of the Capital, she had dealt with the rest of the Qi family in her previous life. The Qi family was really a special presence in the Capital, not only because of their strong foundation, solid financial power and influential family members, but also because the Qi family’s style was very strict. They had accumulated merit for doing good deeds for many generations, a family with profound blessings, and extraordinary, exuberant fortune entirely.

Most importantly, a doubt also haunted Chi Shuyan. All the Qi family members she had come into contact with were naturally very fortunate people, but the unspeakable wisp of purple aura that tainted every single Qi family member she had met shocked her.

Purple aura had always been illusory, but a true Celestial Master or a Warlock, who knew how to read faces, was aware that the fate of people with purple or gold aura was beyond description – either a monarch or a minister. They even couldn’t be picked within thousands of miles, so having two out of a billion people was already a miracle.

She had always suspected that the purple aura that tainted the Qi family was not their own but was the Ninth Master Qi’s, who died prematurely in her previous life. She had always been interested in research and sorely regretted having missed seeing the Ninth Master Qi’s aura personally.

Her master, on the other hand, had always felt that her character had deviated from the path of the world, so he warned her multiple times. Chi Shuyan’s luck might have been good enough to be coveted, but it wasn’t worth mentioning against the fate of a purple and gold genuine dragon. Moreover, this kind of fate was fatalistic, particularly domineering, and simply couldn’t be provoked. If anyone dared to covet it, to put it mildly, they would choke to death on their own spit, tread on dog shit, or encounter a car accident once they stepped out of their homes. This kind of bad luck would haunt them all the time and could cost a life or a serious injury. The most powerful Celestial Masters and Warlocks were utterly terrified of dealing with people with this kind of fate unscrupulously. This could influence one’s fortune tremendously, so they would never dare to mess with such characters so easily unless as a last resort.

And judging from this starlet’s face alone, she might have become popular for a short while, but not for long. Besides, her luck was a mixture of black and white. White luck was very common and many people had this kind of luck, but black was a different story. Black indicated that you must have done some bloody atrocities that cried to Heaven. And judging from this starlet’s fortune, she had no chance of success, so she must have relied on some unseemly means to reverse her luck.

Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes slightly, and at a glance, she saw the jewelry the starlet was wearing around her neck. If she wasn’t mistaken, there must be ashes of a dead child hidden inside. It dawned on her in an instant that this starlet turned out to have kept a Kuman?Thong¹?to become a big hit.

This practice had been passed down from B country. It might have been somewhat useful short-term and this starlet probably tasted a bit of sweetness, so she had been absolutely unscrupulous. But she failed to understand that she was just an ordinary person. At the end of the day, this Kuman Thong was a ghost. Not to mention others, if she carried it so close to herself, it would not only affect her luck, but would also risk her life. Furthermore, Kuman Thong was extremely jealous and had a lot of taboos. Inviting the devil was easier than sending it away.

Chi Shuyan shook her head slightly. How could changing one’s fate in defiance of the natural order really exist in this world? It was merely draining one’s luck in the latter half of one’s life, nothing more.

After a few glances, she lost interest and switched to a few more channels. There really wasn’t much to see, so she switched to an English channel at random. She glanced at the kitchen door, but her father hadn’t come out yet. Feeling a bit hungry, she stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

“Mom, it’s not Yan Yan ‘s problem. I said I don’t want to think about relationship issues for the time being. Don’t believe whatever Sister told you either. It wasn’t a matter of Yan Yan being capricious at all. Okay, okay, Mom, there’s something else I won’t tell you.” Chi Lingyan was somewhat annoyed and said, “No, I’m not really impatient and angry with you. I was wrong, Mom. You should be a little more understanding, I just got home from work.”

“What, Big Brother is short of money? Want me to lend tens of thousands? Mom, but I’ve been giving almost all my salary as allowance to Sister lately, I don’t have any money on hand. No way, Mom, this is my bottom line. This house belongs to Yan Yan and I will never move.” Chi Lingyan was also a bit exasperated when he finished speaking. The more he listened, the more his mother went overboard. However, the person involved was his own mother, so he still restrained himself from flipping out from the injustice.

Chi Shuyan didn’t hear the contents of the call, but she could guess what her patriarchal grandma had said. It was the same old talk: let Chi Lingyan spare the time to go on a blind date, get married, and give her a grandson, and not to always take her, a child from his previous marriage, with him.

But she didn’t expect the additional line about borrowing money this time. The money Uncle borrowed from her father before hadn’t been repaid yet. Although they hadn’t signed a promissory note, she couldn’t believe their nerve to borrow money again this time. From her grandma’s point, was she asking them to sell their house to help her eldest uncle? She really wanted to laugh her head off. Her grandma was truly biased to the extreme. Ordinary families usually doted on the youngest child, but it was the opposite in their home. Her grandmother had always been more partial to her eldest son, Chi Haonan, especially after her grandparents moved in with her eldest uncle. Her favoritism grew even more crooked. She was almost in the same boat as her uncle’s family, who always coveted his siblings’ stuff, and wanted the other brothers and sisters to subsidize her uncle’s whole family even to the point of being penniless. Her grandma had indeed a good abacus.

The most talented of the siblings, Chi Lingyan, was the first to suffer the brunt of the exploitation before the family was even separated. The wages that Chi Lingyan received from his work were all handed over to her grandmother and her father’s salary practically supported the whole family.

This also led to the whole family treating Chi Lingyan as an ATM machine and taking everything for granted. Her mother made a point of separating and living apart from the family on several occasions, but her grandma scolded her to tears. In the past, Chi Shuyan really thought it was her who had caused her parents’ divorce.

It was only now that she realized that the real culprit was her grandma. If she hadn’t been so patriarchal and kept scolding her mother for not being able to give birth to a boy, and resented her mother’s inability to work, her parents wouldn’t have been where they were now.
