Yao Yao carried a small plate and went to find someone with Qing Jie. The banquet venue was quite large, so it took them a bit of time to find their target.
As they got closer, Yao Yao noticed a man with eyebrows and eyes somewhat similar to Qing Jie, and also saw a familiar figure. It was none other than her eldest brother.
The two of them, at that moment, were talking business. When they saw the big and small figure approaching, both of them were momentarily stunned.
“Yao Yao/Qing Qing, what are you doing here?”
After speaking, the two exchanged looks, both surprised. They hadn’t expected the two to know each other.
Wang Zhengxuan quickly turned his mind and smiled, “President Gu, it seems our fate is not shallow. About the collaboration we discussed earlier, if there’s no problem, I’ll have my assistant send the contract to your company after the event.”
“No problem, just send it over,” Gu Heng nodded. “I’ll have my secretary handle it.”
As for the details of the collaboration, he naturally didn’t plan to get involved, as his position didn’t require him to handle these matters. The employees below him would take care of it.
“Good, good! Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation!” Hearing Gu Heng’s approval, Wang Zhengxuan was very pleased.
He glanced at his daughter, who often clashed with him, and his face softened. For once, he was quite satisfied with her performance.
“So, what do you think, Little Master, have you noticed anything unusual?”
At this moment, Qing Jie suddenly spoke, causing everyone around to freeze. Especially Wang Zhengxuan, who looked over in confusion.
“What are you talking about?” he asked, puzzled.
What did his daughter just call the Gu family’s little daughter?
“Little Master? What kind of weird title is that?”
In comparison, Gu Heng seemed to know more. His eyes flicked over immediately. Despite his serious appearance in public, his younger sister often became quite excited when handling matters, as these weren’t ordinary things.
People are always curious, no matter their age or status.
So, under everyone’s curious gaze, Yao Yao slowly nodded. She had already seen that the couple’s palace on this man’s chart was occupied by a rotten peach blossom.
To understand this, it’s important to know that the couple’s palace typically indicates a person’s true match, a legitimate relationship. If a rotten peach blossom occupies this palace, it’s definitely not a good sign—either it leads to financial loss or reputation damage.
What was more important, though, was that she also recognized a familiar aura on this man.
This aura was the same as the one she had sensed from the vengeful spirit that had the slave seal planted on it.
Originally, after that vengeful spirit self-destructed, all traces were lost.
Yao Yao had never taken this matter lightly. Though she didn’t speak of it, she had always held it in her heart.
She never expected to find a new lead, and her eyes immediately brightened.
Qing Jie was also excited, jumping up and down. “I knew that woman must be problematic! Little Master, please help my dad! Whatever you need, just say it.”
She had always thought her father, who had been serious for most of his life, would never suddenly lose his mind like a reckless young man.
Sure enough, there was something fishy about all this.
Hearing this, Wang Zhengxuan immediately understood what his daughter was talking about.
His face turned ashen, and he scolded her loudly, “Wang Qing, when will you stop?! Wan Wan is at least your elder! How can you be so rude?”
And she had even said this in front of his business partner! Was she trying to cause trouble for him? If it weren’t for the occasion, he would’ve slapped his daughter.
“You’ve already done it, are you afraid I’ll speak?”
Clearly, Wang Qing wasn’t afraid of threats at all. One sentence nearly left him speechless.
She didn’t even bother to look at her father’s liver-colored face, instead turning to look at Little Master, eager for answers.
Seeing this, Yao Yao stopped beating around the bush and directly said, “This gentleman, you were born in the year of the Rooster, during the Wei hour, correct?”
Wang Zhengxuan didn’t expect the young lady from the Gu family to be able to predict his fate, and it seemed accurate. He was taken aback.
Could Wan Wan really have a problem?
That thought barely formed, but he immediately dismissed it. After all, these details could be found with research, so it wasn’t that surprising. For more chapters visit noⅴelfire.net
“So what if it’s true?” he replied, stiffening his neck.
The Gu family’s young daughter was so young and had lived in hardship before entering the Gu family. She might have been tricked by his daughter into luring him into a trap. After all, his daughter had used all sorts of tricks to prevent Wan Wan from entering the family. Maybe this was another one of those tricks.
However, Wang Zhengxuan’s expression soon changed.
“Your children’s palace indicates that you have one son and one daughter, but now it shows that it’s incomplete. This suggests you should have another son, but he was never born normally. He would be older than Qing Jie, he’s her older brother, right?”
Wang Qing froze when she heard this. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “Little Master, did you make a mistake? I’m an only child. I don’t have an older brother…”
Her grandmother had mentioned more than once that she was the only child, so it was something she remembered vividly.
“No, she’s not wrong. You really have an older brother.”
Before Wang Qing could say anything further, Wang Zhengxuan, who had been skeptical about the divination, changed his attitude drastically.
His expression clearly made Qing Jie react in confusion.
Looking at his daughter’s puzzled expression, Wang Zhengxuan explained, “Before we had you, your mother and I had another child. But back then, we weren’t married yet, and our family was poor. We couldn’t even feed ourselves, let alone raise a child. So, we didn’t keep him.”
It was also because of that miscarriage that his wife’s body was damaged, making it difficult for them to have a child after they married.
When they finally had a child, her body was so weak that after giving birth to a daughter, her health rapidly declined. Wang Zhengxuan was filled with guilt, thinking he had harmed his wife.
And because of that unwed pregnancy, it would’ve been bad for both families’ reputations if it was known.
So, only he and his wife knew about it.
The secret had remained hidden until his wife passed away.
Wang Zhengxuan was certain that no one else knew about it.
But now, the Gu family’s little daughter was able to reveal it, making him realize that she wasn’t some pawn his daughter had bought. She really had the skills.
“Have you ever suddenly felt that she was very important to you, that you couldn’t live without her?”
“Even when she makes unreasonable requests, you still try your best to fulfill them?”
Yao Yao continued, her words hitting the mark.
Wang Zhengxuan nodded with a grim expression.
Seeing this, Yao Yao didn’t continue speaking. Instead, she took out a charm and pressed it onto his body.
Wang Zhengxuan looked confused. But before he could finish asking, he suddenly shivered, as if something had been released. His eyes widened in shock.
Yao Yao said, “I’ve temporarily blocked the curse for you. Now, try to recall again.”
He instinctively complied, but this time it was different from before. Almost instantly, he realized something was wrong.
There were too many inexplicable details that made his scalp tingle.
“Little Master, my thoughts…”
Wang Zhengxuan was filled with terror as he recalled memories of a version of himself he didn’t even recognize. And the reason for his change was all tied to Ye Wan.
She had somehow made him subconsciously change his thinking!
Thinking back to his daughter’s attitude, Wang Zhengxuan felt a jolt. Without realizing it, he had already changed the way he addressed her.
“Yeah, yeah! What exactly is going on here?”
The one most concerned about this question, other than the person involved, was of course Wang Qing.
“Because she cast the Peach Blossom Curse on you!”
Yao Yao glanced at the man before her, whose expression was filled with struggle, and said in a crisp voice.
After speaking, she frowned.
Because the normal Peach Blossom Curse, as created in Taoist practices, was meant to increase mutual affection and cultivate relationships.
But the type of effect Wang Zhengxuan was experiencing, which directly twisted a person’s thoughts, could only mean that the person who cast it had already deviated from orthodox methods and was now walking down a dangerous path.
