Chapter 108: Suddenly Not So Angry Anymore

As if to prove Mother Du’s words, the moment Du Ji Zu appeared, many people around him subconsciously took a few steps back, opening up some distance. It was clear they had heard of his reputation and did not want to be connected with him.

Some people really did not like how he behaved. Of course there were also people who envied his sudden wealth and wanted to get a piece of the pie by flattering him.

Seeing that after he asked several times no one answered him, and that the atmosphere was about to go cold, a man in his early thirties suddenly rushed out from the side and took the initiative to explain to Du Ji Zu what they had just been doing.

After listening, Du Ji Zu raised his brows, and the fat on his face trembled as he laughed: “Hahaha, fortune-telling? Du Qing Yun, is your family so poor you have gone crazy? You actually let the daughter you finally got back do this kind of fake spooky act at an occasion like this. Aren’t you afraid you will lose face in front of everyone, even outside this room? Hahahaha…”

As soon as he said that, many people’s faces darkened, especially Du He Xuan. He almost rushed up to beat the man with a stick and personally deliver a free headline to the paparazzi.

The two sisters-in-law beside Ruan Xiu Ru also did not look good. Unlike the other relatives watching for fun, they had just accepted a huge favor from Du An Rao. How could they stand by and watch their benefactor be wronged?

But his words also reminded them of something. They had just learned something huge from Du An Rao and had dodged a big risk because of her. Both logically and emotionally, they should give her a generous gift.

They guessed that if they tried to give money directly, she would not take it. It looked like they would have to find a way to give her something precious instead, to show their thanks.

Compared to everyone else’s anger, the party concerned, Du An Rao, was very calm. She quietly glanced at Du Ji Zu’s forehead, then at the young people standing beside him, her expression a bit strange.

[Oh? Since you think I’m pretending to be a god, I guess even if I told you your wife has already given you several green hats, and even that eldest son standing next to you is not your own, you would still think I am making up rumors. In that case, I won’t warn you.]

Everyone: Ohhh!!!

The Du family members: “…” They suddenly did not feel quite so angry anymore.

After saying what he said, Du Ji Zu had thought many people would agree with him, so he could step on Father Du’s family and mock them hard.

But after waiting a long time, only the man who had spoken to him earlier echoed him. When he turned around, he saw the eyes around him looking at him with pity, mockery, or gloating.

From the start, those eyes never once fell on Du An Rao and the others. They were all on him.

Realizing this, Du Ji Zu’s face turned green.

He was just about to explode when Du An Rao dropped him and turned to speak to Fifth Aunt.

“Fifth Aunt, like Fourth Aunt, has strong luck with children, and your sons and daughters are all smart and brave. People like that will succeed at whatever they do. Since you want me to read Second Cousin’s career, why don’t you find a recent photo of him without makeup and let me see? It will be less likely I make a mistake if I see him with my own eyes.”

Fifth Aunt could no longer care about anything else. She quickly ran to get Fifth Uncle’s phone and pulled up a photo that Du Jia Qi had posted on his social media a few days ago when he went out of town for a meeting.

In the photo, the man wore a proper black suit. His expression was serious, his gaze sharp. Even through the screen, you could feel a sense of pressure from him.

Du An Rao studied the photo and said: “Second Cousin’s heavenly court, the area of his forehead, is full. His eyebrows are long and thick, his nose is high and the tip is full. This is the face of someone who becomes successful later in life. It shows he is very steady and down-to-earth. He does things in a solid way and can stay calm. He might not take off in a short burst, but everything he does and thinks is noticed by others. He is the kind of person others want to work with and value.”

“That…” Fifth Aunt’s face lit up at this clearly positive review. She wanted to ask more but was afraid to overstep.

Du An Rao could guess what she wanted to ask, so she said: “From Second Cousin’s physiognomy, his career line has always been rising. The speed is not very fast, but it is steady. Right now, his career line has just reached a branching point.”

“Branching point?”

“Yes. It means there is a chance for him to rise, but he might not be able to grab it.”

Fifth Aunt’s heart thumped. Of course she knew what chance Du An Rao meant. It was because of that chance that she had just wanted to ask about her son’s career luck.

She had never thought that before she could figure things out, she would bring back a time bomb.

Fifth Aunt tried hard to calm down so she would not look too anxious and asked: “Then how can he catch this chance?”

Du An Rao thought for a moment and said: “Let things take their course.”

“Let things take their course?”

“Yes. There is no need to do anything extra. Second Cousin is someone who works steadily, step by step. He is not suited for flashy tricks. If he tries them, he will only lose his strengths and get the opposite result. On the other hand, as long as he goes with the flow and keeps his original style, sooner or later his hard work will be seen, and chances will come to him.”

Fifth Aunt froze, then became even more excited.

Lately, her son really had been a bit impatient because of work. Because of that, she and her husband had also been unsure, wondering whether they should try some shortcuts.

Now Du An Rao’s words were like a blow to the head, smashing those little thoughts of theirs. At the same time, it was like a shot in the arm.

As long as her son held on to his original heart, even if he missed this chance, he would surely meet other chances later.

“I understand, I understand. Thank you, An An. I will definitely tell your Second Cousin what you said when I get back.”

Du An Rao gave a modest nod, then shifted the topic to the child.

“Second Cousin’s career luck actually is not a big problem. It is his palace of offspring that is a little dim. There is also a faint cross line at this spot.”

Fifth Aunt’s heart skipped a beat. She asked: “What does that mean?”

“The palace of offspring shows a person’s children and descendants. For Second Cousin, the child luck appears on the right side, which means he has a daughter. But now a cross line has appeared in the palace of offspring. That means… an image of a child dying young.”

Fifth Aunt’s breath stopped. Even though she had already prepared herself, she still raised her voice: “A child dying young?!”

“A child dying young may be from an accident, or from other causes. If it were an accident, this cross line would be more twisted. So most likely the problem is with the child herself.”

“You mean our child’s health might not be very good.”

“It is possible. So my suggestion is to pay more attention to her health. It would be best to take her for checkups every so often. That way, if something really does come up, you can find it early and treat it early. There might still be a chance to save her.”

Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt had already planned to do that. After hearing Du An Rao’s words, there was even less reason for them to refuse.

The group chatted happily, while Du Ji Zu, who had been left on the side, was stewing in his anger.

He finally could not help himself and shouted: “Sure enough, raised outside. No manners at all. An elder is talking and she does not even respond. Is this the so-called family education you are so proud of?”
