After Qin Qing left, Xu Tong stared at the black Buddha pendant in her hand a few more times. She didnt see anything special about it. Instead, she frowned a little, and felt uncomfortable looking at it.

But Xu Tong didnt think much of it, and placed the Buddha pendant on the table first. No matter what, this thing was a gift from Qin Qing. She wasnt used to it, but she couldnt get rid of it outright.

Besides, what if what Qin Qing said was true?

Was this Buddha pendant good for the child?

Xu Tong touched her stomach gently and then gave Ruan Shenglin a call. She had initially been going to mention her promise to Qin Qing, but who would have thought that when Ruan Shenglin heard the name Qin Qing, he would frown and say warily, Why did she come looking for you?

Compared with Xu Tong, who still thought that Qin Qing was a good person, Ruan Shenglin could see to some extent that Qin Qing wasnt.

To be honest, he had never had a good impression of Qin Qing, this arrogant woman, from the moment he saw her. If he hadnt liked Xu Tong first and seen that she had a good relations.h.i.+p with Qin Qing, he wouldnt have taken the initiative to try and get along with her.

Ruan Shenglin had been in the entertainment industry for a long time and understood peoples hearts better than ordinary people; he could see the disdain on the other partys face every time he approached her back then.

The other party obviously looked down on him.

Fortunately, he had always liked Tong Tong and had never had a good impression of Qin Qing. When she pushed him in Tong Tongs direction, Ruan Shenglin hadnt said anything, but he had been happy.

In fact, he didnt care about such petty past trifles. What he was concerned about was that Qin Qing was too much of a schemer, and Tong Tong was no match for her at all.

It was simply too easy for Qin Qing to dupe Tong Tong, especially when he thought of the gossip in the entertainment industry. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Qin Qing wasnt a good person. She was close to Tong Tong, so when he heard that Qin Qing had visited his house, he frowned.

On the other end, Xu Tong didnt hear any response from Ruan Shenglin. Seeing that her man had been silent the whole time, her eyebrows twitched a little. Thinking of how Qin Qing had put in a lot of effort to match the two of them in the beginning until they got together, Xu Tong felt that she had to repay Qin Qing. She couldnt help but say, Shenglin, actually, Ah Qing was good enough to bring me a gift when she came this time. Shes a very good person. If it wasnt for her, you and I wouldnt have gotten together so quickly back then. I promised her earlier that if there is a good role in your new movie, she could give it a try. Shenglin, Im not asking you to open a back door for Ah Qing, Im just asking you to give her a chance. If she really isnt suitable, its fine to turn her down!

In the end, at his wifes coaxing, Ruan Shenglin compromised and said that he would give Qin Qing a chance to audition.

When Xu Tong heard this, her eyes lit up and she was happy. She said a few more words to Ruan Shenglin before ending the call.

It wasnt easy for a middle-aged man like Ruan Shenglin to have a kid, and he cherished Xu Tong and the child in her stomach. He repeatedly said that he would take her for a checkup after he was done with work in a few days

Speaking of which, the child in Xu Tongs stomach was something that the couple had prayed many years for. Although Xu Tong was still young, Ruan Shenglin was already in his forties, and it was quite difficult for him to have children.

It was hence clear how happy Xu Tong and his wife were that she was finally pregnant.

After the call with Ruan Shenglin, Xu Tong received a call from Qin Qing. She picked up the call, and Qin Qings anxious voice suddenly rang out. Tong Tong, by the way, not only do you have to put that Buddha pendant under your pillow every night, its best to pour chicken or duck blood on it every morning as a sacrifice. Its especially effective and will be especially good for Shenglins career and the child in your stomach! By the way, its best to pour blood over it before you put it under your pillow for the first time!

Qin Qings words poked Xu Tong right in her soft spot. What Xu Tong cared about the most now was the child in her stomach and Ruan Shenglin.

But Xu Tong also knew that there were many superst.i.tious things in their circle. She had never believed in these things. In addition, she wasnt very ambitious when it came to her career, so she never followed those superst.i.tions, such as using imps or using lipstick made from the oil of a human body.

Back then, she remembered that in order to become famous, a good friend of hers would always use that sort of lipstick. It was quite scary every time she saw it.

Xu Tong had thought that she could just put the Buddha pendant under the pillow. Although she wasnt superst.i.tious, it was just in case what if it really could protect the child in her stomach?

It was just that when she heard Qin Qing say that she had to pour animal blood over this Buddha statue as a sacrifice, Xu Tong got gooseb.u.mps.

She didnt even dare slaughter a chicken, let alone use animal blood to wors.h.i.+p this Buddha pendant. Xu Tong wanted to turn tail a little, and couldnt help but say, Ah Qing, is it that troublesome? You are you sure you didnt run into some swindler? I keep feeling that this method isnt right. I get gooseb.u.mps just thinking about it!

Qin Qing could tell that Xu Tong was backing out, and got anxious. Tong Tong, you just need to bleed the chicken or duck, not kill it. Besides, you can get your housekeeper to do it. As for that expert, dont worry. He really is an expert. If you dont believe me, Ill take you to visit him myself.

At that point, Qin Qing paused before she specially talked about the first time she met that expert. It was clearly the first time, but that expert was actually able to divine everything from her birth characters and was especially amazing. He even helped her avoid some calamities. Qin Qings tone was filled with reverence and grat.i.tude as she said earnestly, Tong Tong, if not for the fact that were close, how could I bear to tell you about the existence of this expert? I cant bear to tell anyone else, but Im doing this for you, Shenglin, and the child. I heard that this Buddha statue is especially good for the child and will give it special protection. After the child is born, disasters of all kinds will be averted. If not for the fact that it wasnt easy for you and Shenglin to get this especially precious child, I wouldnt bother wasting my time!
