At this moment, watching Chu Keqing publicly embarrass Lu Sisi, leaving Mr. Yang Sr. shocked and bewildered, with a hint of awkwardness on his face, Lu Xiuting couldn’t help but feel some satisfaction in her heart.

"..." Mr. Yang Sr. took a deep look at Yang Jiaming and Lu Xiuting, then glanced at the youngest son Yang Jiaming had brought along, and finally fixed his gaze on Lu Sisi.

No, it seems this matter needs to be further questioned. Otherwise, there might be trouble!

If this granddaughter Lu Sisi really has struck it big and has a very powerful fiancé outside...

Then this matter needs to be clarified!

Indeed, the Yang Family has neglected this girl, but now she has a cordial relationship with Elder Zi, and behind her stands an even more formidable fiancé.

If not explained clearly, it might cause trouble for the family.

Mr. Yang Sr. knew it’s better to offend people openly in the business world than to offend these Mystic Cultivator Experts.

Otherwise, they have hidden means to plot against you.

If you truly offend someone much more formidable than Elder Zi, then...

"Elder Zi!"

Mr. Yang Sr. coughed: "I don’t want to hide it, Sisi is indeed a bloodline of the Yang Family, but due to an incident years ago, her connections with the Yang Family became somewhat, um, special."

After a pause, he shook his sleeves, unexpectedly bowed half-heartedly to Chu Keqing, and spoke in a somewhat sincere tone: "This girl had a rough early life, with many hardships. Moreover, an expert once calculated her life chart and said it brought some hindrance. So these past years... Alas!

Ultimately, it’s our Yang Family’s incompetence, unable to protect our descendants, unable to dispel her life’s calamity. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

I implore Elder Zi to lend a hand to save her. The old man will surely offer a heavy reward!!"

This is the artistry of the old fox’s words!

Casually turning the issue of not including Lu Sisi in the family genealogy into "the Yang Family unable to protect its descendants."

Finally, using the identity of the Yang Family’s Patriarch, he begged Chu Keqing to save Lu Sisi.

Actually...

Do you need to beg?

This person is already hand-in-hand friends with Chu Keqing, with an even more impressive fiancé behind her.

Does it matter for Mr. Yang Sr., who never looked at Lu Sisi, to beg?

Yet these words lightly downplayed the years of negligence by the Yang Family, turning it into a narrative of the family loving its descendants, with the Patriarch personally asking a high expert to save their descendant.

Chu Keqing’s eyes flashed a hint of amusement, but she pretended to be calm, speaking slowly: "What is the truth, please tell clearly, Mr. Yang Sr. What exactly is the matter of the life chart from years ago?"

Mr. Yang Sr. suddenly swayed, his eyes slightly reddening, and he sighed, recounting in a tone of regret how Lu Sisi, as a child, knocked over the ancestral tablets in the shrine, and then an expert calculated her Eight Characters...

He recounted the whole story.

Chu Keqing already knew about this incident long ago, but now she pretended to hear it for the first time, listening calmly to Mr. Yang Sr.’s account.

She lowered her head in contemplation, then Elder Zi shook her head, an undisguised disdain appearing, coldly laughing three times, and uttered two words: "Ridiculous!!"

Mr. Yang Sr.: "...Uh?"

Chu Keqing coldly laughed: "Sisi’s fiancé, his cultivation reaches divine techniques! Speaking of cultivation, Mr. Chu can only look up to him with admiration! How could someone of such caliber find a wife with a hindrance-filled life chart?! Isn’t that the biggest joke in the world!"

She paused, then coldly laughed again: "I’ve known Sisi for quite some time, and I’ve heard from close friends about her fate—it’s filled with blessings, longevity, and fortune, truly an exemplary life chart!

With such a life chart in one’s family, if it aligns, her fortune would ensure the whole clan is protected by her auspicious fate, adding threefold prosperity and wealth!

Who are these blind and ignorant people fraudulently posing as high experts, daring to label such a top-notch life chart as a hindrance?! If not maliciously intended, then surely deceiving for fame!"

Hearing this, Mr. Yang Sr. trembled slightly, instinctively saying: "But back then, the one who gave her life chart was none other than the renowned Elder Zhong from Port City..."

Chu Keqing scoffed, speaking disdainfully: "What Elder Zhong, I ask where is this person now?"

Mr. Yang Sr. turned pale instantly.

Where is he?

Dead!

The renowned Elder Zhong of Port City’s sudden death was quite a hot topic, discussed among wealthy circles for a while—no wonder, when Elder Zhong was alive, he was said to possess true divine techniques, never erring in life charts; many prominent families treated him as a guest of honor, drawing him in as a tributor, even setting up a dojo, taking in disciples, becoming one of the few leaders in Port City’s Mystical Cultivation Realm.

Such people, bound by countless connections! Especially given his frequent visits to noble families, harboring many of their secrets. His death sparked quite a stir at the time.

Chu Keqing naturally knew how that Zhong died—she personally came to Port City back then, teamed up with Chen Yan, and had a night of adventure.

That Elder Zhong ultimately died at Chen Yan’s hands.

But now Chu Keqing pretended not to know, feigned a sneer watching Mr. Yang Sr.

Mr. Yang Sr.’s heart pounded like a drum.

Common folk might gossip, but as someone in the elite circle, how could he not know the truth?
