She was still so kind, willing to bear all the hardships herself and not wanting to trouble others.
As long as she asked, no matter how difficult, he would risk his life to help her.
“Alright, just take good care of yourself, and bring more bodyguards with you when you go out. Those people can be terrifying when they go mad,” Charles Gao carefully reminded her.
“Okay, I know. I have something to take care of now, so I’ll hang up. I’ll treat you to dinner when we have time.”
After hanging up the phone, Charles sighed.
The nanny outside the door said, “Young Master, Madam is looking for you.”
Charles frowned, “Aunt?”
As Charles went downstairs, his aunt, Yang Yan, was chatting with his mother, Guo Han.
“I’ve heard from Senior Gao that my brother wants Jia Jia to marry the Young Master of the Yang family. My cousin is good friends with Mrs. Yang, and I had her make some inquiries. This Young Master Yang has been studying abroad and only recently returned. He’s handsome and talented, so if Jia Jia marries him, it would be a good match. Sister-in-law, you can rest assured.”
Yang Yan’s smile was strained. She was very clear about the happiness or unhappiness of her own marriage, which was a result of a business alliance, so she didn’t want her daughter to go down the same path.
Upon seeing Charles, Yang Yan immediately put on a cheerful face: “Charles, I came here today to ask you for a favor.”
Charles was a bit curious as to what this haughty aunt of his could need from him.
Guo Han smiled, “He’s just a kid, what can he help you with? If you really have
any problems, you should wait for Grandpa Gao to come back, and we’ll solve them together.”
Yang Yan shook her head, “Actually, only Charles can help me with this.”
“Please tell me, Aunt. I will not hesitate to help if I can.”
Yang Yan coughed, “It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but I heard you have a good relationship with Ms. Ming Jing from the Zhu family?”
Charles was taken aback, never expecting her to inquire about Ming Jing. Was the favor she needed related to Ming Jing? Charles’ attitude turned serious and attentive.
“Ming Jing and I are classmates. Why do you ask about her, Aunt?”
Yang Yan sighed, ‘You’ve probably heard about the situations with Madam Li and Madam Ye. Ms. Zhu seems to be rather skilled, so I asked her to help me with Jia Jia’s marriage fortune last time. However, it seems there were some issues. Those Masters always have their quirks. I’ve been to the Zhu household several times, but I couldn’t get a chance to see her. Jia Jia’s issue can’t be delayed any longer, so I thought, since you have a good relationship with Ms. Zhu, could you perhaps mediate…?”
Charles never expected his aunt would come to him seeking help to find Ming Jing to calculate Jia Jia’s marriage fortune…what a bizarre development.
“I heard about Ms. Zhu’s incident as well. I thought it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be true. Is she really that amazing?” Guo Han asked with half-skepticism.
Yang Yan nodded, “I’ve seen the incidents with Madam Li and Madam Ye with my own eyes. It’s better to believe that there’s something to it rather than dismiss it outright, especially since it concerns Jia Jia’s happiness.”
“I feel that she’s still too young, though. Could it be a coincidence? Has everyone just mythologized her? I heard that there’s a Hanshan Temple south of the Cold Mountain, and Master Jue Ming in the temple is a highly accomplished monk. Many people go to him for marriage fortunes. Why not try your luck with Master Jue Ming?”
Yang Yan shook her head, “I choose to believe in Ms. Zhu.”
“But the Zhus are facing a lawsuit now and are on the brink of bankruptcy. Ms. Zhu must be at her wit’s end. She probably doesn’t have time for anything else.”
Actually, she wanted to say, if Ms. Zhu is really that amazing, could she have predicted the impending disaster for the Zhu family?
After all, gods are made by humans.
Seeking a 16-year-old girl to calculate marriage fortunes; His wife must be in a crazed frenzy for a miracle cure.
Charles pondered, “Auntie, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but Ming Jing and I are not close to that extent. I called her earlier when I heard about the situation with the Zhus, but her phone has been switched off ever since. I’m sorry, but I’m unable to help you.”
After leaving Charles’ house, Yang Yan hesitated for a long time before instructing her driver, ‘Go to Hanshan Temple.”
“Do you think your sister-in-law is funny? She actually believes a little girl’s words. The girl should have been able to predict her family’s impending bankruptcy, right?” Guo Han mocked, shaking her head.
Charles frowned, “Mom, Auntie wouldn’t say this without a good reason.”
Guo Han looked at him suspiciously before suddenly turning solemn. “You’re not in love with Ms. Zhu, are you?”
Charles’ face flushed red.
“I didn’t expect to hit it right on the spot. Let me tell you, the Zhu family is going through a major crisis, and they’re struggling to save themselves. Don’t get involved in this muddy water, or else you’ll get yourself dirty. Do you understand?” Guo Han emphasized..
