Chapter 105: Her Fists Itched Again

Jiang You Nian’s problem had not been solved yet, and it was impossible to hide. The Jiang family had no plan to hide it anyway, so they simply told Mother Du the whole story.

When Mother Du finished listening, her face changed. “This is such a big matter. How could no one tell me?”

Jiang Wen Tao looked embarrassed as he said: “At first we did not think it would get this serious. Later we panicked and, for a while, we did not know what to do.”

Mother Du did not really want to blame anyone. Right now the most important thing was that the person lived.

“Qing Yun, go call Director Qiao first. Let Jun Yan and He Xuan help you greet the guests. Chang Bin, you take this thing back to You Nian right now. Brother, you stay here and wait for news. Once Qing Yun and Director Qiao have discussed the transfer, think about how to move You Nian to City S as soon as possible.”

At times like this you could clearly see who actually ran the house day to day.

Once Mother Du gave her orders, the three grown men all went off to do what she said. No one dared object even a little.

Watching from the side, Du An Rao was full of admiration. She was already planning to go upstairs later and try to contact her long-lost Master.

If Master had really predicted Second Cousin’s trouble ahead of time and sent her that string of Five Emperor Coins because of it, then he definitely knew how to save him.

“Um, you are An An, right? I am your Fourth Auntie.”

Hearing the voice, Du An Rao looked up and saw that Ruan Xiu Ru had somehow already slipped in front of her. She greeted her with a warmth completely different from before, the well-kept skin on her face wrinkling with her smile.

Another slightly younger middle-aged woman followed close behind Ruan Xiu Ru. She stepped up quickly with a beaming smile and said: “I am your Fifth Auntie.”

“Hello, Fourth Auntie, hello, Fifth Auntie.”

“I heard you grew up in a temple and are good at the arts of healing. Can you help tell my fortune too?”

Du An Rao blinked in surprise and said: “I can, but what would you like to know?”

“Help me check my son’s marriage fate.” Ruan Xiu Ru put on a troubled look and said: “My son is almost thirty and I have never seen him date. There is not even a close woman by his side. My good friends all ask me in private if he has some hidden problem.”

“Pff…” Du An Rao almost choked on her juice.

[Could it be that your son already has someone in his heart? That is why he can walk through a sea of flowers without a single petal sticking to him. For a male lead with good morals, staying pure for the female lead is a basic skill. Otherwise it would not be a chasing-wife-at-the-crematorium story, it would be a send-him-straight-into-the-furnace-and-burn-him-to-ashes story.]

Ruan Xiu Ru’s expression froze for a second. Male and female lead’s basic qualities? Crematorium?

She did not usually watch short videos to pass the time, so she could not keep up with young people’s way of talking. But she was not stupid. Combining what was said with her son’s situation, she roughly understood what Du An Rao meant.

Du An Rao cleared her throat and said: “Marriage is decided by heaven. You cannot force it. From what I can see, Fourth Auntie, your glabella palace is open, your nasal root is full, your chin terrace is broad and round, and your philtrum is deep and long. This shows you have strong fate with children and grandchildren. It is just that…”

“It is just that…?”

“It is just that from your physiognomy, you should already have a grandson.”

“What?” Ruan Xiu Ru put on the perfect amount of shock, then quickly calmed down. “I do have a three-year-old grandson, but he is not my son’s child. He is my daughter’s.”

“Daughter?” Du An Rao frowned and thought for a moment. “If I remember right, your daughter is adopted, isn’t she, Fourth Auntie?”

“She is adopted.”

“But from your physiognomy, this grandson clearly shares blood with you.”

Ruan Xiu Ru let out a startled cry and covered her mouth in a dramatic way: “You mean my son secretly got himself a girlfriend without me knowing and even had a child with her?”

“If you did not know the child existed, then yes.”

“Who could it be? I have met almost every woman around my son. I have never seen him be especially close to any of them.”

“Far away yet right in front of you. Maybe it is someone you ignored from the start, so you never noticed. Many people miss what is under their nose because what seems least likely and least possible turns out to be the right answer in the end.”

[This is already as close to spelling it out as I can get. If you still cannot guess, you really cannot blame me!]

Ruan Xiu Ru: “…”

Far away yet right in front of her indeed. The person was living under the same roof as them. If not for today’s incident, how much longer would they have been kept in the dark?

No, even without today’s incident, she would have found out soon. She would just have had to pay for it with her precious eldest grandson’s future health.

Thinking of that, Ruan Xiu Ru’s fists started to itch again. She really wanted to beat up her son.

“Besides that, I can also see from your physiognomy that your grandson has a tribulation in his fate. If he cannot avoid it, I am afraid…”

Of course Ruan Xiu Ru understood what tribulation meant here. She had already warned her son to find someone else to donate blood for the child, but she could not help worrying. What if they escaped the blood transfusion accident only to run into trouble somewhere else?

Hearing Du An Rao say this, her heart jumped up to her throat.

But before she could panic too much, Du An Rao suddenly paused halfway through.

[Huh, why does Fourth Auntie’s situation look just like when something happened on Director Gao’s set? The dark clouds are slowly dispersing, and I can faintly see purple light. Does this mean the child will pass the tribulation smoothly with the help of a benefactor?]

Although she was puzzled, Du An Rao still changed her tone: “Do not worry, Fourth Auntie. This tribulation is dangerous, but a benefactor will surely help. The child will turn misfortune into blessing and be safe and well.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Ruan Xiu Ru’s phone rang.

Answering the phone in front of the party’s host would normally be rude. But right now, Ruan Xiu Ru was anxious to know how the child was. Du An Rao, the birthday girl, and the Du family did not mind, and most of the guests around them perked up their ears at once.

For a moment, the huge front hall seemed to hold only the sound of Ruan Xiu Ru answering her call.

“How is Lei Lei now? He is fine already? Good, good. Let him stay in the hospital for one night for observation. Wait for the doctor to confirm he is fine tomorrow before going home. I will hurry back after the party. Is he awake now? Let me talk to him.”

After waiting a moment, she heard the milky little voice on the other end and her eyes instantly turned red.

“Lei Lei, be good and stay in the hospital. Grandmother will come back later and bring you tasty food and little gifts. All right, all right, whatever you want, Grandmother will buy it for you.”

The grandmother and grandson talked a bit more before hanging up. Ruan Xiu Ru took a deep breath to adjust her mood, then turned and grabbed Du An Rao’s hand.

“An An, you were spot on! Your cousin just called and said Lei Lei got into a fight at kindergarten today, hit his head, and had to be hospitalized. His blood type is special. Luckily there happened to be an older lady at the hospital with the same blood type who stepped in to donate, so nothing happened. It was really a blessing in disguise.”

The Du family: “Pff…”

Du An Rao: “???”

She somehow felt something was not quite right.
