Chapter 89: Why Do You Have So Many Problems?

[Just now Mr. Xi said that Uncle Liao’s last few projects all got ruined right at the final step. It seems the plot has already moved to the part where Zou Heng starts to suspect Liao Yu Qian and secretly helps Liao Yu Qian’s rival trip him up.]

[Luckily, these still only count as small tricks. In the end, Zou Heng still cannot bring himself to really strike at the good brother he has worked with for so many years. It is just that his sister’s death has always stuck in his throat, so he really does not know how to face Liao Yu Qian.]

[If I remember right, not long after the accident that crippled Liao Yu Qian, Zou Heng found out the truth. His guilt toward his good brother completely crushed him, and soon after he killed himself.]

The few people who fully knew the grudge between the two men: “!!!”

Du An Rao saw this and felt a strong wave of emotion, but she did not forget to make one thing clear in her heart:

[This shows how important good communication is between people. Mouths are made for talking! Things that could be cleared up in a few words had to drag on until people died. It really leaves you not knowing what to say.]

Du Lian Shuang nodded in deep agreement. That was right. With one dead and one hurt, they could not even find a proper target for revenge. It was all thanks to those two stiff, dead-duck mouths!

Liao Yu Qian and his wife had no idea about the undercurrents between the others. When they heard what Du An Rao said, their faces also changed, and they subconsciously thought of Zou Heng.

Only, what Yin Bai Lu was thinking was that sure enough, there is no wall in this world that can keep out the wind. Back then, Liao Yu Qian should have sat down and talked openly with Zou Heng about what happened, instead of avoiding the topic like he did now. Anyone could see that something was wrong.

They clearly had not done anything guilty, yet in the end they still had to be misunderstood. It was really unfair.

Liao Yu Qian, however, was thinking even more. He almost instinctively suspected that Du An Rao had heard something somewhere.

But just as Du An Rao had said, Liao Yu Qian looked modest and polite on the surface, but deep down he was still a bit proud.

As for what happened that year, he felt he had hidden it very well. Otherwise, Zou Heng would not have spent so many years investigating without finding many clues and ended up being fooled by the fake evidence made up by his long-time enemy.

If she did not know ahead of time, could she really have seen all that just from looking at his face?

Du An Rao saw the change in their expressions and lifted her chin in a mysterious way as she said: “It seems the two of you already have an answer in your hearts. Now, Mr. Liao, please stretch out your right hand and let me do a palm reading.”

“You can read palms too?” Yin Bai Lu cried out in surprise.

Even though she was shocked, she still did what needed to be done. She directly grabbed Liao Yu Qian’s hand, pulled it out, and held it out in front of Du An Rao.

Liao Yu Qian’s eyelids twitched, but in the end he did not dare say a single word of objection.

Holding back a smile, Du An Rao lowered her head and glanced at his hand as she explained: “The line near the index finger on this side of the palm is called the Petty Villain Line. As the name suggests, from this line you can roughly see the petty people Uncle Liao has attracted over the years. Some of Uncle Liao’s Petty Villain Lines are deep and some are shallow, which means some enemies are old grudges, and some are recent.”

Du An Rao paused, then her fingertip slid over to the center of Liao Yu Qian’s palm as she continued: “This line here is Uncle Liao’s Career Line. From this line you can see that Uncle Liao’s career luck is very good. There have not been many big bumps. It has almost always gone straight up.”

“But this line now has several branches and Cross Lines. That means the petty villains around you have already started to affect your career. Projects that should have gone smoothly are suddenly full of problems, and credit that should belong to you will be easily stolen by others.”

Liao Yu Qian’s face changed slightly. Hadn’t the projects he was working on lately all run into trouble at the crucial moment? Could it really be the work of petty villains? But according to the person in front of him, this petty villain was…

Without realizing it, Liao Yu Qian clenched his other hand. He really did not want to believe that the good brother he had worked with for almost twenty years would betray him.

“If it were only your career being hurt, that would still be better. But I see that the Cross Lines on Uncle Liao’s Career Line have already spread to the Life Line…”

Yin Bai Lu’s face also changed as she asked: “What will that mean?”

“The Life Line mainly shows information about health and lifespan,” Du An Rao said slowly. “Uncle Liao’s Cross Lines only appeared because of petty villains, and in palmistry, these crossing lines also carry the meaning of an accidental or violent death…”

“You mean Yu Qian might face danger to his life because of a petty villain?” Before Du An Rao could finish, Yin Bai Lu screamed, and she tightened her grip on Liao Yu Qian’s hand.

Liao Yu Qian was also shocked, but the first thing he did was comfort his wife: “Calm down. Look, I’m still fine now, aren’t I?”

“Being fine now doesn’t mean you’ll be fine later,” Yin Bai Lu snapped. “When we go back today, you must tell Ah Heng everything about Shan Shan. If you do not want to say it, then I will. We cannot drag this out anymore.”

Family was Yin Bai Lu’s bottom line. She could never stand by and watch her husband fall into danger because of someone close to him. There was no room for debate about this.

Liao Yu Qian also understood how serious this was. He sighed and compromised, saying: “All right. We will go together and talk things over with him properly.”

Only then did Yin Bai Lu’s face ease a little, and Du An Rao also let out a quiet breath of relief.

She really was not trying to scare them on purpose. That enemy of Liao Yu Qian had originally come for his life. It was only at the last moment that Zou Heng softened and secretly told Yin Bai Lu, asking her to save him.

Even so, Liao Yu Qian still injured his spine and would be paralyzed for life, never able to stand up again.

He had once been a favored son of heaven. For such a huge change to happen overnight, it was no wonder that in only a few years he sank into depression and died early, leaving his daughter to be tormented by scum.

As for Zou Heng, because of his last-minute warning, Yin Bai Lu later discovered the clues.

After she learned that Liao Yu Qian was paralyzed for life, she broke down completely and poured out the whole truth of that year. That was what finally made Zou Heng so overwhelmed with guilt that he killed himself to apologize.

[Look at how one thing pulls on another. If any one of you had just opened your mouth earlier, the ending would not be this tragic. I only hope that after you talk things out this time, you can live your lives properly and stop tossing around all this useless drama. It is really not good for my poor breasts!]

Du Lian Shuang and the others also let out a breath and secretly nodded their agreement with what Du An Rao had said.

“Besides offending petty villains, I see that Uncle Liao’s Palace of Offspring also seems to have a bit of a problem,” Du An Rao added.

“More problems!” Yin Bai Lu was still thinking about the Zou siblings. Her mind could not turn around for a moment, so she did not even hear what exactly Du An Rao had said. She only caught the words “problem” and suddenly turned to look at Liao Yu Qian, as if saying: Why do you have so many problems?

Feeling a little wronged, Liao Yu Qian thought: [I don’t want any of this either.]

Having been interrupted, Du An Rao also sighed and thought to herself: [We have barely started. The real main act that will break you both down has only just begun.]

Mother Du and Xi Jing Yue: pfft…

For a moment, Du Lian Shuang did not know whether she should pity her best friend or be glad for her good luck. She thought: “…” Even though she knew her sister was pitiful, why did she still kind of want to laugh?
