Chapter 273 -273: Reading Faces

The Ling Family left with a dark expression on their faces, leaving only Chu Xu behind.

He looked at Zhong Niangyao with a hint of apology, “Lady Zhong, I’m really sorry about today, I didn’t expect —”

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhong Niangyao interrupted him, “This has nothing to do with you, there’s no need for you to apologize.”

Even though she said so, Chu Xu still felt somewhat embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, “Lady Zhong, regardless, it was my lack of prior investigation that resulted in your wasted trip. To show my apology, let me treat you to a meal!”

“No need,” Zhong Niangyao shook her head and then thought for a moment before speaking up, “These next few days, you’d better keep your distance from that Ling Chao, or else you’ll really have nowhere to cry if you get dragged into his troubles.”

Chu Xu agreed wholeheartedly, nodding repeatedly, then asked, “Lady Zhong, did Ling Chao really kill someone?”

Previously, he never saw it—Ling Chao was such a person.

“All of this is his retribution now,” Zhong Niangyao did not directly answer Chu Xu’s question, but instead spoke lightly, “But it will only last for another two or three days; he won’t be able to escape.”

Though her tone was light and breezy, Chu Xu sensed certainty in it. He believed in Zhong Niangyao, so he was convinced that Ling Chao would likely lose his life within these next few days.

Seeing Chu Xu fall silent, Zhong Niangyao suddenly asked, “Can I read your fortune?”

“Huh? Fortune-telling?”

Chu Xu was baffled by Zhong Niangyao’s sudden question, his confusion clear on his face, “Lady Zhong, are you offering to read my fortune?”

“Yes, if it’s not too much trouble?” Zhong Niangyao spoke, “Of course, if you have something specific in mind, you can tell me, and I can help calculate it for you.”

Actually, the person she wanted to calculate was not Chu Xu, but Chu Yixue. For some reason, she always felt that Chu Yixue suddenly becoming the Second Lady of the Chu Family seemed very suspicious.

However, if she wanted to calculate, she would need Chu Xu’s consent, otherwise, just from the appearance alone, many things would be incomplete.

Though Chu Xu did not understand why Zhong Niangyao suddenly wanted to read his fortune, this was an unexpected joy for him. Even though he had not witnessed Zhong Niangyao’s fortune-telling skills, he had witnessed her other skills. So now, hearing that Zhong Niangyao wanted to read his fortune, he felt quite pleased.

Meanwhile, he couldn’t help but wonder if Zhong Niangyao had noticed something special about him, which is why she thought of reading his fortune!

After a while, Chu Xu shyly spoke, “Then, Lady Zhong, can you help me check my marital prospects? I’ve recently fallen for a girl and am planning to find a time to confess to her.”

Recently, he had fallen for a girl from an ordinary family. She wasn’t particularly beautiful, but she always exuded a lively aura, effortlessly capturing his attention. However, the disparity in their social statuses was too great, and he didn’t think his family would approve.

He thought long and hard, but in the end, he didn’t want to miss out. He planned to find a time to confess.

Now that Zhong Niangyao was willing to read his fortune, it was even better. He wanted to know if this girl was his True Destiny Girl. If Zhong Niangyao said so, perhaps even his grandfather would support him.

“Okay!” Zhong Niangyao nodded, “Stretch out your left hand, and let me look at your palm.”

Chu Xu did as told, extending his left hand.

Zhong Niangyao carefully observed Chu Xu’s palm lines, then looked up at his face for a while before slowly speaking, “Your Red Bird Star has not moved yet. Your destined partner will appear two years from now. However, you have a romantic challenge coming soon, so it’s best to be cautious.”

“Moreover, this romantic challenge will affect your destined relationship. If not handled well, you and your destined partner will face many difficulties because of this romantic challenge.”

After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Chu Xu’s expression darkened, even showing hints of despondency.

He wasn’t a fool; he understood Zhong Niangyao’s words clearly. The girl he liked now was not his True Destiny Girl, and since it was mentioned as a romantic challenge, it likely wasn’t a good thing. But—

“I still really like her,” Chu Xu murmured softly, “This is the first time I’ve ever felt this way about a girl.”

So now, he hesitated, unsure whether he should confess.

“Whatever you decide to do, it’s your own choice,” Zhong Niangyao spoke softly, “I’m just telling you what I’ve calculated. The future is in your hands. Every decision you make will affect your future. Just think it through.”

Having said that, Zhong Niangyao got up and spoke, “Since you asked me out without any particular matter, I’ll take my leave first.”

Seeing Zhong Niangyao preparing to leave, Chu Xu could no longer dwell on his uncertainties and quickly stood up, “Lady Zhong, where are you heading? Let me escort you!”

“No need,” Zhong Niangyao waved, “I have to go somewhere else shortly. Just remember to pay the bill.”

After saying that, Zhong Niangyao left directly, sweeping away without a trace.

Chu Xu sat alone in the private room, his face filled with turmoil.

Once Zhong Niangyao left the tea house, she got straight into a car.

The person in the car was none other than Lu Yichen.

“Finished talking?” Lu Yichen raised an eyebrow.

“Finished,” Zhong Niangyao spread her hands indifferently, “To be precise, it probably fell through!”

After that, Zhong Niangyao recounted the matter regarding Ling Chao.

“I didn’t expect that Chu Xu was just a middleman,” Zhong Niangyao found it amusing, “If Ling Chao knew that Zhang Jing was brought back by me, he probably wouldn’t have thought to approach me.”

She came out because Chu Xu had asked her, and the reason she wanted to meet Chu Xu was also because of Chu Yixue. Today, while reading Chu Xu’s fortune, she also more or less confirmed that Chu Yixue was not the missing Second Lady of the Chu Family.

Because she could tell that Chu Xu still had family members who hadn’t returned. Unless the Chu Family had another person who was missing, Chu Yixue was definitely an imposter.

However, she was curious as to how Chu Yixue managed it. After all, the Chu Family had done DNA testing, and Chu Yixue didn’t have the capability to fake it.
