1697 The Ni Familys Eldest Son

The next day, Chi Shuyan and Xia Mingcheng arranged to meet at noon. The Ni parents, the eldest son of the Ni family, and his girlfriend arrived early. Xia Mingcheng took them to a restaurant near the hospital.

Father Xia stayed with Xia Mingzhen, while Mother Xia followed Xia Mingcheng to the restaurant near the hospital. As soon as Aunt Ni saw her best friend, her eyes turned red. If it wasnt for the concern she felt for her eldest son and his girlfriend, she would have started crying already.

Xia Mingcheng was usually most afraid of women crying. Seeing that Aunt Ni was about to cry, he immediately invited her to have a seat and ordered her a drink. As he comforted her, he took in the various expressions of the Ni family. It was clear that there was internal conflict in the family.

This conflict should be between the Ni familys eldest son and his parents.

The Ni familys eldest son only felt it was utterly absurd and laughable to make his girlfriend get an abortion because of some superst.i.tious thing. He didnt have the slightest favorable impression of the Master whom Mingcheng was going to bring over later. If it wasnt for Mingcheng, he really wouldnt have come.

His girlfriends eyes were red and swollen; it was obvious that she had cried a lot.

As for Father Ni and Mother Ni, they generally believed in these things. When Father Ni was young, he had received guidance from an expert, so he did believe in these things. Of course, he doted on this unborn grandson, but he was also worried that the child would really jinx his son and the Ni family, just like what the Master Mother Ni had consulted had said.

Father Ni felt conflicted. He had been in a difficult position with his son lately.

When Father Ni saw Xia Mingcheng, he couldnt help but ask if the Master he was going to introduce this time was reliable.

Father Ni was indeed a businessman. His words were very tactful, so the question wouldnt annoy anyone. Father Ni said, Nephew Xia, its not that I dont believe you or that I doubt the Master. After all, this concerns a human life, which is very troubling. However, Im really grateful that youre helping my Ni family so much. Last night, I even told your Aunt Ni that youre always thinking about my Ni family and my eldest son. The two of you have a really good relations.h.i.+p. My eldest is really lucky to have a friend like you!

The more Mother Xia spoke, the more excited and proud she became. As she spoke, she wanted to use her youngest son to prove it, but she couldnt divulge any information about him yet, so she simply used her husband as an example. In short, a few days ago, her eldest son had asked the Master for a Safety Talisman for everyone in his family.

Previously, something almost happened to her husband, but because he carried this Safety Talisman on him, his bad luck immediately disappeared. Mother Xia was quite good at embellis.h.i.+ng her story. As she spoke, she even talked about how magical this talisman was. She said that after her husband got rid of his bad luck, that talisman which her husband had been wearing actually turned black. Old Ni, dont you think thats strange?

Afraid that the Ni parents wouldnt believe her, Mother Xia continued excitedly, Old Ni, if you dont believe me, you can ask my Old Xia. You know that though I may exaggerate, my Old Xia is especially down-to-earth. You can verify this with him. Besides, given our relations.h.i.+p, why would I find a swindler to dupe your Ni family? Do I have nothing better to do?

When Mother Xia said that, Father and Mother Nis eyes lit up. Father Ni in particular trusted Mother Xias words. As for Mother Ni, although she didnt doubt Mother Xia, wasnt the person who read her eldest sons birth characters a true Master? Mother Ni felt that the outcome shouldnt change much. She subconsciously looked at her future daughter-in-laws stomach, and her heart ached terribly.

Father Ni still wanted to say more to Mother Xia, but the Ni familys eldest son suddenly got up, knocking over his chair and startling everyone. Ignoring his parents expressions, he suddenly walked over to Xia Mingcheng and patted his shoulder, then said in a low voice, Shall we go outside?

Sure!

Before the Ni familys eldest son went out, he comforted his wife in a low voice. The Ni parents didnt dare say anything, and could only watch helplessly as their eldest son went out with Mingcheng to smoke.

At the door, Xia Mingcheng accepted the cigarette from the Ni familys eldest son, but tucked it behind his ear. Since the Ni familys eldest son had suddenly asked him to come outside, Xia Mingcheng could guess what he was thinking he was going to ask Xia Mingcheng about Master Chi and if he trusted her or not.

Sure enough!

The Ni familys eldest son was silent for a while before he said, Mingcheng, you believe in these things too? You believe in some Master?

Xia Mingcheng said in his heart that he also hadnt believed in these things at all before, but now, he couldnt not believe anymore. He couldnt help but think of his ex-girlfriend. He occasionally wondered if he had known or trusted Master Chi sooner, and immediately asked her to protect his girlfriend, would Liling have been alright?

This thought became an obsession for him, but as time pa.s.sed, he became more and more aware that there was no way for him to know. He didnt want the Ni familys eldest son to have any regrets.

Xia Mingcheng nodded without hesitation. I do! I believe in Master Chi!

Seeing Xia Mingchengs att.i.tude, the Ni familys eldest son was stunned. Without waiting for him to speak again, Xia Mingcheng said with rare sincerity, You can choose not to believe the previous Master, but its best to believe this Master Chi whom Im introducing to you. Dont worry, Master Chi is different from the Master your mother knows. Youll understand in a while! After a pause, Xia Mingcheng saw Master Chi not far away, and his eyes lit up. He immediately said, Shes here!
