Chapter 177 How Did Fourth Madam Know That!!!
Tang Li was not concerned about what Qi Lingxuan had done.
After the banquet last night, only Madam Zhang came to look for her. It was obvious that the other madam did not believe her and left with her husband.
Tang Li said to Madam Zhang, “It’s a little late today. Tomorrow at one in the afternoon, wait for me at the teahouse near Hospital X. At that time, I’ll tell you the answer to your problem.”
Although Madam Zhang was a little anxious, she did as she was told. The next afternoon, she waited for Tang Li at the teahouse near Hospital X.
Because the patients admitted by Hospital X were all either rich or powerful, they opened a high-end food and tea shop near the hospital. At one in the afternoon, when Tang Li arrived at the cafe, Madam Zhang was already waiting for her.
The Zhang family was the leader of the film industry. When Madam Zhang was young, she was a student at the film academy. When she debuted, she won the Best Actress Award. However, as soon as she got famous, she settled down with Mr. Zhang. After that, she got pregnant and left the film industry to focus on becoming a full-time wife.
Madam Zhang was pretty to begin with, so even if she was in her fifties, she still looked like someone in their thirties.
In particular, she was wearing a cheongsam today that made her both young and elegant. “Fourth Madam, over here!”
Tang Li walked over and sat down.
After the waiter served the tea, Madam Zhang started to get anxious. Without further ado, she went right into the point. “Fourth Madam, can you really help us remove the curse?”
Tang Li picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip before saying, “Since Madam Zhang came today, it means that you believe me. Since you believe me, why are you asking this?”
Madam Zhang was stunned. Actually, she did not trust Tang Li that much, but she had no choice.
She didn’t explain and instead asked, “I wonder how Fourth Madam is going to help my family out.”
“Do you have photos of the children in your family?”
“Well…” Tang Li did not ask her to bring photos, so Madam Zhang didn’t prepare it. “I have their photo on my phone. I wonder if it’ll work?”
If not, she would ask her family to deliver them ASAP.
“That’ll work.”
The moment Tang Li nodded, Madam Zhang heaved a sigh of relief. She quickly took out her phone and showed Tang Li the photos of her grandchildren.
While Tang Li was looking at the photo, Madam Zhang explained, “My husband has a sister, but she’s living abroad and rarely comes back.”
“I gave birth to two sons and two daughters. Other than the younger daughter, the other three are married and have children. The eldest son has three children, eight years old, seven years old, and five years old. The second son has two children, six years old and four and a half years old respectively. The eldest daughter has two twin sons. Not only are my son’s children weak and sick, but also their daughters’.”
Upon saying that, Madam Zhang looked sad. “For the sake of the children, our family has done everything we can. Doctors, masters, medicines, and herbs, you name it.” “The doctors didn’t find anything wrong with the children. The masters said that it was because of the bad deeds the older generation accumulated, and they couldn’t help us dispel the bad deeds because by doing so, they would be cursed.”
Tang Li went through the photos of the children. Being born in a family like the Zhang family, they were supposed to live comfortably, but every one of them looked scrawny and small with a pale face.
After a long while, Tang Li asked, “What did the older generation of Zhang family do by trade?”
Madam Zhang hesitated. When Tang Li saw her reaction, she smiled and said resolutely, “If I’m not wrong, for many generations, the Zhang family worked as pimps. To put it bluntly, they sent beautiful women to those soldiers during the wartime, right?”
Madam Zhang widened her eyes to look at Tang Li. She was no longer suspicious of Tang L, but instead, she was in awe of her. “Fourth Madam, how did you know that.”
“Well…”
Tang Li turned her gaze to the photos of the children and said, “The masters were right. The older generations had accumulated too many bad deeds and now it’s time for the younger generations to clean up the mess. However… After reading their faces, I can tell there is still a chance to redeem the situation. I can go to your place to take a look.”
When Madam Zhang heard this, her face lit up and she hastened to promise, “Fourth Madam, as long as you can help my family, my husband and I will give you everything you want.”
Tang Li did not stand on ceremony. “As I said last night, I’ll charge you two million yuan for your fortune-telling. However, if you want me to help your family, ten million yuan for a child isn’t too much, is it?”
“It’s not! It’s not at all!” Madam Zhang hurriedly took out a card from her bag. “There is two million yuan in this card. As for the rest of the money, we will try our best to pay you when you save our children.”
“No rush. You can discuss this with your husband first.”
Madam Zhang wanted to say that there was no need to discuss with her husband because she could fork out tens of millions, but since Tang Li said so, she thought that it wouldn’t hurt to do so, so she called Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang obviously did not believe Tang Li. However, after Madam Zhang told him what Tang Li had said, he asked Madam Zhang to keep Tang Li at the teahouse until he came over.
Tang Li did not mind and sat in the tea house with Madam Zhang to wait. The teahouse was decorated in an antique style. Every seat was separated by a screen. It was quite nice to come here if you wanted privacy.
However, the screen could only separate people but not voices.
At the next table, two old men were talking. “My granddaughter has fallen in love with a celebrity recently. She’s obsessed, acting crazily every day. Wherever that celebrity goes, she’ll chase after him. She even said that she won’t marry anyone but him. I don’t understand why children are like this nowadays.”
Another person continued, “My granddaughter is like that too. She doesn’t even want to study. I guess kids nowadays are too care-free. They never experience anything like what we had back in the old days.”
Hearing that, Tang Li glanced at Madam Zhang
Madam Zhang had a film company, so hearing this conversation, she was quite embarrassed.
Tang Li said, “There is nothing wrong with liking celebrities, but you should make sure it won’t affect your life. As for celebrities, it’s best if you like celebrities who have good morals.”
Madam Zhang smiled awkwardly. She wanted to tell Tang Li that in the entertainment industry, unless one had a powerful background, it was very difficult to maintain good morals.
