Chapter 34 -34: The Ancestor Said Twitching of the Right Eye Foretells Disaster

“When honored guests arrive, naturally, we must prepare tea and pastries. This is the way of hospitality,” Jiangli said expressionlessly to Xia Xin, giving him a look. “Hasn’t the old Taoist taught you?”

Xia Xin: “…”

Gazing at Jiangli, for some reason, he felt like his ancient ancestor was taking revenge.

With an awkward smile, Xia Xin said, “Then, I’ll go buy some now.”

Only then did Jiangli nod slightly, showing a trace of satisfaction.

Xia Xin no longer took Jiangli’s words lightly.

...

If the old ancestor said an honored guest would come, then an honored guest was certain to come. He immediately went with Jiangli to a nearby pastry shop and also bought some tea leaves.

While Xia Xin was out shopping with Jiangli, carrying bags both big and small, Mr. Cao was already preparing to be discharged from the hospital.

“Boss, your body isn’t in the right condition to be discharged,” the assistant said as he pushed the wheelchair, looking at Mr. Cao’s leg in a cast with some worry.

Mr. Cao was irritable, “What could be done? Today is my son’s engagement banquet; I must be there.”

Upon hearing this, the assistant sighed.

Mr. Cao’s relationship with his wife, Wang Lijuan, was neither close nor distant. Over the years, Mr. Cao even had a mistress.

But he never divorced his wife, all because they had three children.

Mr. Cao loved his children the most and took all matters concerning them very seriously.

Today was the day of his eldest son’s engagement, and it was impossible for him not to attend.

However, nobody had expected such an accident to happen today.

The assistant had nothing more to say and could only push Mr. Cao out.

Mr. Cao’s leg was not only fractured but also had external injuries. Even sitting in the wheelchair, every bump in the road caused him immense pain.

Soon, his face turned pale with pain.

Enduring the agony, he asked, “Is the driver already waiting outside?”

“We might have to wait a bit longer,” the assistant replied after a moment’s pause. “I just called the driver. He said the madam instructed him to wash the car so it wouldn’t be dirty and unsightly for meeting the in-laws, which is why he’s still washing the car and will take a while to arrive.”

Mr. Cao said impatiently, “What’s all this fuss, washing the car at this time?”

That was his Rolls-Royce, after all; what could be unsightly about it?

“That woman always makes a fuss over nothing!” Mr. Cao said angrily.

This was what he liked least about Wang Lijuan—her constant nagging, like a fussing Xianglin’s Wife.

The assistant offered a forced laugh. This was not a comment she dared to agree with.

Mr. Cao, lips pursed, could only keep his anger to himself, but for some reason, he felt restless and anxious all day, as if there was a fire inside him, pushing outward, making his insides extremely uncomfortable.

Even though his leg was broken, he felt an unsettling need to move.

When leaving the ward, his eyelid even started to twitch uncontrollably.

He touched it and found it was his right eyelid.

People in F City have an old saying, “Left eyelid twitching means wealth, right eyelid twitching means calamity.”

A twitching right eyelid was not a good omen.

Furthermore…

He inexplicably recalled the text message Xia Xin had sent him.

He thought he knew what kind of person Xia Xin was.

Even if Xia Xin had the gall, he doubted he would dare send such a message just to provoke him.

Unless… it really wasn’t a provocation.

Mr. Cao felt uneasy as he was pushed by the assistant to the hospital’s main entrance.

Sitting in the wheelchair waiting for the car, that sense of discomfort and impatience within him became stronger, and the pain in his leg seemed to intensify as well.

Mr. Cao fidgeted, touching his knee.

“Boss, the car is here,” the assistant said when he saw the car approach.

Just as Mr. Cao looked up, the car had already stopped in front of him.
