"I don’t mind, of course, but Sangsang, do you know that Molian is fated to be a star of calamity? Being with you will drag your luck down with him. You might not care about that, but what about your family? Can you just sit and watch as Molian, and his ill omen, harm your grandpa?"
He learned about this from overhearing a whispered conversation in Molian’s house and is now using it to scare Lin Caisang.
"Clan Chief Ya, you——"
Lu Qiubo, after hearing his words, was so furious he wanted to argue, but Lin Caisang held him back.
"Sangsang, he’s too..."
"Grandpa, let me handle this."
Lin Caisang shook her head at Lu Qiubo and spoke softly.
Then, she turned back to Clan Chief Ya, who had a smug look again on his face.
"Clan Chief Ya, whether what you said is true or not, we don’t know. Moreover, even if Brother Molian really is destined to be a star of calamity, I am fated to be a star of fortune and prosperity. We can balance out each other’s ill and good fortunes, can’t we?"
"Aren’t you afraid that it will affect your grandpa..."
Clan Chief Ya narrowed his eyes, glancing towards Lin Laogeng and others.
"As for you, Laogeng, your granddaughter is willing to even risk you for a man. You must have raised her in vain."
He said to Lin Laogeng with an implied sigh.
Today, he had seen just how shameless Clan Chief Ya could be. He used to think he was decent, if a bit calculating.
He had truly misjudged him.
"Clan Chief Ya, you needn’t worry about our family. Even if Molian really does have the fate of a star of calamity, it won’t affect our family because Caisang will marry him, not the other way around. However, you on the other hand... wasn’t it your granddaughter who said that she wanted Molian to become your grandson-in-law? She even said it was your idea, didn’t she? Tut tut, Sangsang is young and ignorant, but you are old. How could you not understand that it would bring misfortune to your own line?"
Did he really come here just to jinx his own fortunes?
"All of you... Fine!"
What else could he say? He was no match for them. He’d just leave and ask Molian himself if he was going to marry his granddaughter. As for the Lin Family, as long as Molian was still his granddaughter’s groom, they could do whatever they liked.
He grabbed Ya Yuju, ready to leave.
"I won’t leave, Grandpa. You told me to kill Lin Caisang. I want to kill that vixen!" Ya Yuju struggled to break free from Clan Chief Ya’s grip, wanting to rush forward and kill Lin Caisang.
"Enough, stop this nonsense!"
Clan Chief Ya yanked her so hard she nearly tripped and fell. He then dragged her out, turning around only to see someone else outside the courtyard. This stopped him in his tracks.
"Mo...Molian, why are you here? When did you get here?"
He was nervous because he’d just been talking about Molian’s fate as the star of calamity, which he’d eavesdropped on.
"Right when Clan Chief Ya was saying that I was destined to be a star of calamity." Molian said coldly.
Clan Chief Ya’s face stiffened, and he looked at Molian uncomfortably.
