Chapter 841 - 252: [Reversal of Fortune] (2)
The young man was the most favored junior among the direct descendants of the Yang Family’s first branch in this generation. He graduated from a prestigious university, had a solid professional background, and his abilities were outstanding among his peers.
As a hobby, he enjoyed skiing. Last month, he went to a ski resort and had an accident, injuring his head, requiring hospitalization until now.
The Patriarch of the Yang Family completely believed Elder Zi after this incident!
·
On the day the Patriarch of the Yang Family personally visited Elder Zi, they met in a reception room arranged at a hotel.
The Patriarch of the Yang Family presented a pure gold compass and a check, the specific amount of which remained unknown to outsiders.
However, Chu Keqing only glanced at it before slowly pushing the red envelope containing the check back.
The Yang Family Patriarch’s face stiffened, yet he dared not lose his temper in front of such an expert like Chu Keqing. He merely said in a deep voice, "Elder Zi, is this too little?"
Chu Keqing smiled slightly, "It’s not a matter of the amount. I calculated that there’s no past fate between the Yang Family and me. Once this matter is concluded, our fates are over. So it’s not that I, Mr. Chu, am greedy for money, but that even if Mr. Yang offers more, I feel it would be inappropriate for me to accept."
With that, Chu Keqing put away the compass made of pure gold, "I won’t take the money, but I accept this item, as payment for my service to the Yang Family. From then on, money and goods are settled, and we have nothing to do with each other."
The old patriarch of the Yang Family was anxious!
Chu Keqing had already shown her extraordinary abilities. How could the old patriarch let such a high-caliber person slip away in vain?
He had struggled his whole life and possessed significant experience and discernment. Forming a lasting connection with someone so genuinely skilled would provide the family with a crucial lifeline at critical moments!
How could he easily miss this opportunity?
"Elder Zi... isn’t there another way? The Yang Family is truly grateful to Elder Zi and admires your abilities. The Yang Family is willing to..."
"Heaven’s will cannot be disobeyed." Chu Keqing smiled calmly, "If one forcibly clings to fate, it may not benefit either me or the Yang Family."
The Patriarch of the Yang Family dared not say more, merely looking at Chu Keqing with a few more traces of fear and helplessness in his eyes.
Chu Keqing then pondered for a moment and sighed.
"Well, since we have met, before parting, let me give Mr. Yang a few words."
The Patriarch of the Yang Family’s eyes lit up instantly, and he politely clasped his hands, "Please, Elder Zi, enlighten me!"
Chu Keqing spoke slowly, "I perceive that the fortune of the Yang Family follows the path of prosperity with many children and blessings, and a peaceful household...
Only then has the Yang Family thrived for three generations!
In the future, to ensure continuous blessings, you must avoid household discord. I foresee that if nothing unexpected happens, the next five to ten years will be devoid of major disasters. However, household peace is paramount! Therefore, avoid unexpected events for at least five years. If any household discord arises, it will harm the Yang Family’s fortune.
By then, unexpected events and disasters may be inevitable, possibly impacting the blessings of the Yang Family’s descendants.
Remember this!
After receiving these words from Chu Keqing, the Patriarch of the Yang Family pondered for a long time.
Then the old man stood up, solemnly bowed to Chu Keqing, and took his leave politely.
Upon returning home that day, the Yang Family communicated the Patriarch’s intentions to both the first branch’s direct descendants and even the collateral branches within the three degrees of kinship!
From this day forward, no Yang Family members are to sever marital or familial ties, engage in sibling disputes, or household discord within five years!
If there’s a conflict, resolve it! If you can’t resolve it, endure it!
Anyone who defies this will be expelled from the family, removed from the family register, and stripped of inheritance rights!

BAM!!!
That day, Yang Jiaming, who had received a special call from the family while in Jinling Prefecture, slammed down his phone in anger!
Yang Jiaming’s chest heaved with rage, and he breathed heavily.
Beside him, a young, alluring woman with exquisite makeup looked at Yang Jiaming in horror.
"Jiaming..."
"Don’t say anything."
Yang Jiaming’s expression fluctuated, remaining uncertain for a moment before finally sighing, "Pack your things, and move back tomorrow..."
The young woman froze, then her face showed immense panic, mixed with anger, and she shrieked, "Why? Haven’t you already decided to divorce that woman?! Moreover, moreover, she’s already sick and dying!
I’ve just moved in for a few days, and you’re asking me to move back?!"
Containing his impatience, Yang Jiaming spoke slowly, "Move back, that house isn’t lacking in conditions. You won’t suffer."
"But you promised to marry me! What about our child? Are you going to let the child be born a bastard?! My belly will get bigger and bigger. What am I supposed to do? What will others think of me? Yang Jiaming... Husband!! You you..."
Yang Jiaming struggled for a moment before making up his mind, casting a look at the woman, "Alright, do as I say, and I’ll compensate you in the future!
Listen to me! Don’t make a fuss!
My family is facing some issues, and right now, there can be no accidents!!"
"What, what exactly is happening?"
"I... can’t divorce right now!" Exhaling, Yang Jiaming shook his head, "The old man has spoken. If I dare to divorce, I’ll be disowned!"
The woman dared not cause a further scene.
Truth be told, how much love did she really have for Yang Jiaming? Wasn’t it because his family was wealthy, had status, and could provide her with a life of luxury and abundance?
"You... take care of yourself," Yang Jiaming still cared a bit more for this woman—unsure whether it was for her or the child in her womb.
