My Billionaire Husband Claimed Me His Precious-Chapter 733 - 651: Accumulating Merits

"Let’s hear it."

"Ouyang Yan is dead. However, the Ouyang Family has a new leader. Do you want to know who it is?"

Ou Beichen frowned, "Who?"

Joanna teased him, "I heard that the person doesn’t bear the surname Ouyang but goes by the name Ou."

Ou Beichen’s expression turned completely cold, "I don’t like riddles. Speak directly." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"His name is Ou Bei Yao."

Ou Beichen’s face instantly darkened, "Say that again."

"He’s known as Boss Ou, taking over Ouyang Yan’s position."

"Where is he?" Ou Beichen’s tone grew noticeably agitated.

"That’s uncertain. But he was spotted in France earlier."

Ouyang Chen turned around. Joanna quickly spoke up, "Where are you going?"

"Back to my room."

"Hmm? I thought you’d fly straight to France."

Ou Beichen, with his back to her, replied in a voice tinged with ice, "Until my sister gives birth, I’m not going anywhere."

Joanna’s smile gradually faded as she watched him walk away.

To hear such news and remain calm—it showed, first, that he was incredibly composed, and second, that Meow Meow Meow truly held an important place in his heart.

Ah, things were certainly getting more interesting.

Recently, Qin Miaomiao had been unusually well-behaved. So much so that she couldn’t even muster the inspiration to write her script. She had to force herself to practice yoga, though... she could only meditate—anything requiring bending was completely off the table.

She had developed an immense craving for sweets lately. Unfortunately, Lu Qing was stricter than ever. Especially now that he spent most of his time at home; if something could be handled at home, he wouldn’t step out.

He became increasingly fond of keeping her under control. Ugh, forget the sweets—she had to strictly follow his curated menu, and not a gram more or less.

Frustrated, Qin Miaomiao went to complain to Mr. Jiu.

Mr. Jiu was meditating. A Heart Sutra lay beside him, and Qin Miaomiao casually flipped through it.

"Ninth Uncle, are you practicing the Buddhist Path?"

"Reciting Buddhist Scriptures is beneficial."

"I can’t understand it."

"Recite it a few hundred times, and you will. It aids in calming the mind—drink tea, light incense, recite scriptures, all good for you."

Qin Miaomiao couldn’t help but ask:

"Ninth Uncle, you didn’t practice Buddhism before; why start now?"

He raised his eyelids and glanced at her, "Gathering merits. I fear a calamity in your destiny. I’ve carried too much negative energy over the years, which may have affected you, even though you are now my adopted daughter. Karma circles back—it may impact you."

"Ninth Uncle, do you truly believe this now?"

Mr. Jiu said meaningfully, "I didn’t in the past. I do now. Little Jin’er, be obedient. You should practice too—recite scriptures."

She trusted his words to some extent.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you."

She sat peacefully on the meditation mat, reciting Buddhist scriptures aloud as Mr. Jiu turned to look at her.

People who had experienced much in life often understood certain truths. Her calamity... would be difficult to overcome. Fortunately, she was blessed with abundant fortune and blessings.

May fate allow her to overcome hardships and may heaven show mercy, helping her through this tribulation.

Days passed steadily and unhurriedly. Joanna didn’t stay long before an urgent matter in France required her immediate return.

She held onto Qin Miaomiao’s hand, reluctant to let go, her wide blue eyes betraying a hint of emotion.

"Meow Meow Meow, I have to head back and take care of things. I’ll be back as soon as I can. Wait for me."

"I’m fine. You should focus on your matters."

Truthfully, Qin Miaomiao felt a little awkward. Lu Qing stood behind her, watching with his intimidating elder-like gaze.

She honestly felt that Joanna had no hidden agenda toward her. They were just particularly close friends, nothing more.
