Chapter 83: Chapter 83
Many years ago, the fortune teller started playing the role of a mystic, but once his nonsense went too far, unexpectedly causing someone to die!
The fortune teller trembled inwardly!
This matter somehow got discovered by someone! They even used this leverage to threaten him! That person said that as long as he helped speak a few words to Old Sir Guan, the other party would take care of everything and ensure that no one else would ever find out.
Moreover, they promised not to threaten him again in the future.
The fortune teller had no choice but to agree.
Luckily, they only wanted him to suggest that Old Sir Guan hold a lavish banquet and gave him a photo of a little girl, instructing him to praise her when he saw her...
The fortune teller thought that it wasn’t a big deal! It was probably just someone trying to use him to connect with the Guan Family! It shouldn’t be anything serious!
But who can tell him why so many things happened today!
The fortune teller quietly raised his eyes to look at El, wondering if it was his associates who contacted him.
After all, he still had leverage over him, so how could he dare to make a fuss?
He secretly swallowed a gulp, relieved that nothing had happened, otherwise, he would be doomed!
Old Sir Guan glanced at the fortune teller, his enthusiasm dwindling to its lowest point.
However, he did not suspect the fortune teller.
"It seems your fortune-telling skills are still a bit lacking."
Old Sir Guan’s smile was faint.
"There’s still a little benefactor here." Old Sir Guan waved at Manman, "Little one, come over and let grandpa have a look?"
Compared to Mu Yaoyao, it’s obvious that Yu Manman had a greater kindness towards their family.
Moreover, Old Sir Guan believed that Yu Man wouldn’t intentionally deceive him; his trust in Yu Man exceeded that in Mu Zhi.
Of course, although Mu Yaoyao’s mother was a step late, her contributions were also remembered by Old Sir Guan.
Yu Manman reached out to hold Old Sir Guan’s somewhat rough hand, "Grandpa..."
"Ah!" Old Sir Guan laughed, "How about becoming my granddaughter and always calling me grandpa from now on?"
Yu Man was stunned, "Sir..."
Old Sir Guan raised an eyebrow, "I’m just acknowledging a granddaughter! Your Manman saved our Yue, so it’s appropriate for her to become Yue’s sister!"
"Or are you dismissing me as an old man?"
Yu Man shook her head, "How could that be!"
She just felt it was too sudden.
"Then it’s settled!" Old Sir Guan smiled as he stroked Yu Manman’s head, looking pleased.
"Manman, call grandpa again, will you?"
"Grandpa!" Yu Manman called out clearly!
Yu Manman was delighted, as if she had returned to her past life when her grandparents affectionately called her Manman...
Guan Lingxue watched her increasingly juvenile father with age but did not stop him.
She also felt very fond and grateful towards Yu Manman.
"Alright, dismiss everyone outside. Those unrelated should leave..." Guan Lingxue ordered.
"Everyone, apologies for not entertaining you well, we’ll invite you all to gather again later." Guan Lingxue said to the others present with a smile. Follow current novels on NoveIＦire.net
"Yes, yes! Let’s gather again later!" Since the real decision-makers of the Guan Family spoke, they naturally had to leave!
Everyone didn’t ask much and just left directly.
Guan Lingxue glanced at the fortune teller, and the pressure in her gaze made the fortune teller quickly stand up, "I-I’ll stop disturbing and take my leave first!"
Hearing him say this, only then did Guan Lingxue withdraw her gaze.
An old mystic, if he hadn’t urged father, how could someone take advantage of the chaos? Better not be involved, otherwise, she wouldn’t spare him just because he’s old...
Elcaron was disgruntled, extremely hating the person who had run into Mu Zhi!
If it weren’t for that person, Mu Zhi could have come smoothly!
Then, the one acknowledged by the Guan Family wouldn’t be Mu Zhi, if not Mu Yaoyao!
Elcaron forced a smile, "Then I will take Zhizhi and leave now."
Old Sir Guan nodded, "Go ahead!"
He looked at Mu Zhi and said, "Thank you very much for today. If you encounter any real difficulties in the future, the Guan Family will do their best to help you once."
"It’s all well as your granddaughter is safe!" Mu Zhi said with an excited smile, "We’ll take our leave then!"
Seeing Mu Zhi looking silly, Elcaron almost gritted his teeth in frustration, feeling stifled.
Originally, Elcaron planned, once Mu Zhi connected with the Guan Family, he’d reluctantly marry Mu Zhi, and by then, he could also associate with the Guan Family, his future would surely be bright, perhaps even free from others’ control.
But now... Mu Zhi didn’t smoothly connect with the Guan Family, but instead earned a favor, and if Mu Zhi encounters any problems, the Guan Family would surely lend a hand.
If he dares to play with Mu Zhi’s feelings, the Guan Family might just take the opportunity to crush him while repaying Mu Zhi’s favor...
Damn it! The well-laid plan is ruined!
Elcaron took a deep breath.
Even a fool has advantages; at least he can keep a firm grip on her!
By then, he just needs to coax Mu Zhi well, letting her use the Guan Family’s favor on him, reaping more benefits!
And luckily, he left no trace here, they can’t link it back to him.
Being led away, Mu Yaoyao glanced back at Yu Manman.
Things seemed to have changed again!
In the past life, Yu Manman never had ties with the Guan Family!
It’s all her mother’s fault!
Mu Yaoyao pouted; if not for her mother showing off in front of Yu Man, perhaps Yu Man wouldn’t have come to this birthday banquet like in the past life!
Now Yu Manman is under the Guan Family’s protection; wouldn’t it be even harder to deal with her in the future?
Mu Yaoyao was about to cry!
Is heaven playing a joke on her?
Mu Yaoyao anxiously wanted to change things, but suddenly felt an emptiness in her heart.
It seemed like she was forgetting something...
How did she come back? Did she suddenly reincarnate, or did she die?
Mu Yaoyao felt a bit lost, increasingly feeling like a fog was obscuring her vision...
Yu Man also intended to leave first, but Guan Lingxue called her to stay, "Yu Man, do stay."
"Now Manman is considered half a member of the Guan Family, let’s watch our Yue’s choosing ceremony together later."
"Alright then..." Yu Man nodded, and then looked towards Lu Cheng.
Lu Cheng was just about to say she’d leave first too, when Guan Lingxue invited, "Ms. Lu Cheng, do join us."
Lu Cheng’s eyes lit up, "Sure, sure! I’ll join the fun!"
Wherever her best friend is, that’s where she will be!
Lu Cheng always had a feeling, "Is it possible that Guan Lingxue wants to steal her best friend?"
But since Guan Lingxue was nearly twenty years older than them, it was unlikely, wasn’t it?
Song Chen stood beside Yu Man, suddenly turning back for a glance.
Just now... it seemed like someone was watching him?
As they left the Guan Family manor, a middle-aged male Beastman got into a car, speaking to the person beside him in suspicion.
"Do you think that person resembles Sina?"
"Do you think it could be... him?"
"Investigate! We can’t let him come back!"
