Rebirth: Ghost Exorciser

1533 Lingering Fear and Gratitude

It had to be said that even now, Old Madam Cai was still aggrieved that she didn’t have a grandson. Since this Master was so powerful, she might be able to help her Cai family give birth to a grandson. Thinking this, Old Madam Cai was very excited. She grabbed Cai Youcai’s wrist and hurriedly stepped forward.

Seeing that the old lady wanted to cut the queue, the people in line immediately cursed. In the end, Chi Shuyan recognized the mother and son and explained that they weren’t counted in the ten divinations. Only then did the others calm down.

Old Madam Cai and Cai Youcai sat down excitedly, and Cai Youcai couldn’t help but be grateful for the Master’s guidance. He was no longer as aloof as before, and he was very careful with his tone and words, for fear of offending this Master.

In his current position, Cai Youcai had seen some of the world and believed in some feng shui matters. This young lady had been very accurate in what she said before. Even though he still wasn’t 100% sure that the child in Li Tian’s stomach wasn’t his, this young lady had said that his wife was cheating on him and that there would be a ‘good thing’ in his family that day, and she had been spot on. On top of that, she was able to help others avoid disaster. Now, Cai Youcai firmly believed in the young lady in front of him and didn’t dare offend her easily.

Old Madam Cai couldn’t sit still. Without waiting for Cai Youcai to finish exchanging pleasantries with the Master, she said anxiously, “Master, Master, thank you for your previous guidance. Thank you so much. If not for you, I wouldn’t have known that my daughter-in-law actually has someone else. By the way, can you read my son’s physiognomy again and see when my Cai family can have a grandson?”

Old Madam Cai made it sound pitiful and troubling that her Cai family couldn’t have a grandson.

However, Chi Shuyan didn’t sympathize with this old lady in front of her at all. Besides, this old lady wore gold and silver and lived a very good life. She didn’t look like she had suffered at all. How was she pitiful?

On the other hand, her ex-daughter-in-law and her two granddaughters, who had been kicked out by the Cai family, most likely weren’t doing well. Although Chi Shuyan didn’t know the Cai family’s ex-daughter-in-law, they were both women, so she naturally couldn’t tolerate an old lady who valued boys over girls.

Her face didn’t change as she looked perfunctorily at Cai Youcai’s physiognomy. It was still the same as two days ago. He would only have two daughters in this life. If he really wanted a son, he could only raise one for someone else!

Chi Shuyan’s words rendered Old Madam Cai and Cai Youcai speechless, and their faces turned ashen. In particular, when the old lady heard the Master say that her son would only have two daughters and no son in this life, her vision turned black and she almost fainted. It was Cai Youcai who reacted quickly and hurriedly supported his mother.

Only then did Old Madam Cai catch her breath and gradually calm down. She was stupefied and in disbelief, looking like she had been dealt a huge blow.

Although Chi Shuyan’s mouth had been poisonous just now, she was really worried that she would agitate the old lady so much that she would faint in front of her stall. Her real goal here wasn’t the Cai family. The old lady still wanted to talk about the matter of a child; it was none other than how to make her Cai family have a grandson.

This wasn’t something Chi Shuyan could help with, so she forestalled the old lady by immediately explaining Cai Youcai’s physiognomy in detail. “Actually, Mr. Cai has thick earlobes and a broad forehead. He has good luck in his career, and doesn’t lack riches and glory. However, his offspring feature is dark. He indeed will only have two daughters in this life and will not have a son. If he really wants a son, he can only raise one for someone else. Let me give you a piece of advice: A biological daughter may be more reliable and filial than a son, much less an adoptive son. If I hadn’t interfered before, your Cai family might indeed have a ‘son.’ However, Mr. Cai and this ‘son’ are incompatible. Although he will be rich for the rest of his life, his later years will be very bleak. There’s a high chance that he will die early!”

Chi Shuyan paused and took in the terrified expressions of Old Madam Cai and Cai Youcai before she continued, “Old Madam, Mr. Cai, take care of yourself. That’s all I have to say! Next!”

When the people in the line behind saw the old lady and the middle-aged man sitting in front of them in a daze, they anxiously and immediately urged them to get up.

It was Cai Youcai who came back to his senses first and hurriedly pulled the old lady away. Even then, he still wore a dazed and terrified expression. He stood on the side with the old lady for a long time without moving, his face still filled with lingering fear.

He didn’t know if his mother understood what the Master had said just now, but he understood it very clearly. In other words, if the Master hadn’t interfered two days ago, he really would have been overjoyed at having a son. After all, he and his mother had been looking forward to this son for so many years.

In his joy, how could he suspect that Li Tian would betray him, to say nothing of the fact that he never really knew her? How could he have expected such a glib-tongued woman to have a b*stard with another man? She even wanted his Cai family to help raise their child?

If it wasn’t for the Master, he really would have thought that the child in Li Tian’s stomach was his son, and he wouldn’t have suspected her. Not only would he raise this child, he would also give him everything he had worked for.

But that child wasn’t his son at all. When he grew up in the future, he might learn the truth, and Li Tian might have other ideas.

The two of them might really plot to kill him in the future for his money. Thinking this, Cai Youcai’s whole body turned cold with lingering fear. It was as if he was standing in the dead of winter. He shuddered at the thought of what would have happened if he hadn’t received guidance from the Master. He was terrified!

Cai Youcai had just come back to his senses when he saw his mother suddenly faint. Cai Youcai hurriedly held her and shouted anxiously, “Mom! Mom, what’s wrong? What’s wrong?”

Cai Youcai completely forgot that he had a phone in his pocket at that moment. He quickly shouted, “Can anyone help me call for an ambulance? Please.”

It was only when Chi Shuyan got up and pressed the old lady’s philtrum hard and injected some spiritual energy into her that the old lady gradually woke up. Chi Shuyan exhorted Cai Youcai, “She was too agitated. It’s fine! Take a taxi and bring your mother home to rest for a few days.”

Cai Youcai was incoherent with gratitude. “Thank you, Master, thank you.”

When Old Madam Cai came back to her senses and saw Chi Shuyan, she finally remembered what had just happened. She suddenly burst into tears.

The old lady usually valued her dignity the most, but even when she saw people pointing at her and whispering, she didn’t care. She cried bitterly and tugged at Cai Youcai’s clothes, refusing to let go. “Youcai, it’s Mom who harmed you. It’s Mom who harmed you. Hurry up and go back. Let’s hurry up and go back. Hurry up and divorce that poisonous woman, and bring Shufen and my two granddaughters home.”

It wasn’t that Old Madam Cai didn’t want a grandson, but after listening to the Master, she was really scared. She was afraid that the Cai family would really raise a b*stard for Li Tian and another man, and she was even more afraid that that b*stard would take her son’s life. Although a grandson was important, how could he be more important than a son? Not to mention, this son had always been especially filial to her.

At the thought that her son could be harmed by the child in Li Tian’s stomach, Old Madam Cai didn’t even dare have a grandson now. She couldn’t wait for her son to immediately bring Du Shufen and her two granddaughters back to the Cai family, then quickly kick Li Tian out of the house and never see her again.

Now that Old Madam Cai thought of Li Tian, she simply wanted to tear her apart alive. Even if the son in Li Tian’s stomach really belonged to the Cai family, she didn’t want him at all now.

Seeing that her son didn’t speak, Old Madam Cai thought that her son was unwilling because of his feelings for Li Tian. Her hands trembled as she grabbed Cai Youcai and said, “Son, tomorrow… No, today, divorce that b*tch Li Tian immediately and bring Shufen and my granddaughters back to the Cai family. Shufen is the only daughter-in-law I acknowledge. If you still want to be with that b*tch, Li Tian, I won’t let you off.”

At that moment, the old lady completely forgot how she had forced her son to abandon Du Shufen and marry Li Tian.

The old lady had probably never imagined this day could happen. She couldn’t wait for her son to immediately bring Du Shufen and her two granddaughters back.

After a while, Cai Youcai hurriedly nodded with a complicated and pleasantly surprised expression. “I understand, Mom. I’ll divorce Li Tian today!”

Chi Shuyan watched on the side as the mother and son were enlightened, especially Cai Youcai, who probably still had feelings for his ex-wife. She narrowed her eyes and stared at their departing backs as they walked further and further away. It wasn’t until they took a taxi and left that she looked away.
