Chapter 344: Chapter 342: Stealing Qi Fortune, Switching Fate Diagram

Xu Jing bid farewell to the warm-hearted passerby and wanted to invite Qin Zhao and Chu Yan to dinner.

The three of them found a restaurant and sat down to slowly sort out the whole matter.

"There was something that we didn’t discuss earlier because there were too many people around," Qin Zhao said after sipping some tea, his expression somewhat grave.

"It seems that someone deliberately orchestrated your current predicament."

Xu Jing was not a fool; she thought carefully about Qin Zhao’s words and suddenly realized, "Are you saying that someone tricked me? Made me believe that my child had died?"

"Yes, your fate encounters malevolent people, and you are also due for a bloody disaster soon."

"Master, do you know who this malevolent person is?"

"Your husband."

Xu Jing didn’t speak.

Scenes from recent events flashed through her mind instantly.

After the accident with the child, her husband’s attitude toward her changed drastically; he used to be so caring toward her. Otherwise, she would not have chosen to quit her job to take care of him.

She had thought it was the death of their son that had hit her husband hard, causing him to lash out and abuse her. Now, she wondered, did her husband know that the child hadn’t died? Was he treating her this way on purpose?

And his purpose, was it to drive her to death?!

Today, when the firefighter called him, he didn’t even come to the scene!

Thinking of this, Xu Jing trembled with anger, a chill running down her spine. She couldn’t believe that the person she shared a bed with could scheme against her so calculatedly.

Could all his previous kindness have been an act as well?

"Can I see my son first?"

Xu Jing asked shakily, more worried about her child.

"Let’s have dinner first, and then we’ll go to your house to have a look."

At that moment, the waiter brought the dishes to the table.

Xu Jing had no appetite, but at Qin Zhao’s urging, she ate a little.

She observed Chu Yan attentively serving Qin Zhao, noting their seemingly good relationship, and she couldn’t help but think back to the sweet life she’d once had with her husband, feeling an exceptional bitterness in her heart.

After they had eaten, Xu Jing took the two to her home.

Her home was quite well off. It was said that after her husband’s business took off, it thrived, earning quite a lot of money, allowing them to buy a nice apartment in Imperial City and even afford a maid.

When Qin Zhao entered the house, he saw many diplomas and certificates of honor laid out in the living room.

All of them belonged to Xu Jing.

She was not only a graduate from a prestigious school but also had performed excellently there.

"You graduated from a prestigious university and earned so many honors, why did you stop working?" Chu Yan asked in surprise, referring to before she got pregnant when Xu Jing said she had stayed at home for many years. Missing many years of work experience, even with a good education, made it hard to find a job again.

This was also the reason she feared being left with nothing.

"Because I encountered some issues and felt that maybe I wasn’t suited for working," Xu Jing said with a bitter smile, briefly recounting her experiences.

She had hoped to thrive in the professional world after graduating, but after working for two years, she faced many unfair situations, making the journey extremely arduous.

This completely stripped away the confidence she had built up during her school years.

In her second year after graduation, due to the company’s illegal operations, it faced a lawsuit needing two million in compensation. The company pushed all the blame onto Xu Jing, forcing her to take the fall.

Her family was of modest means and she was just a graduate, how could she come up with two million?

Fortunately, her husband’s business was increasingly successful and he helped her repay the two million.

After that incident, Xu Jing was deeply affected, and her husband persuaded her not to work anymore, so she became a full-time housewife.

"Your current Qi Fortune, no matter what you do, will not go smoothly. You are destined for a fate of poverty and misfortune, and you will suffer from illness and pain in old age."

The first half of Xu Jing’s life had been very smooth, her facial features indicative of a successful and wealthy future, which starkly contrasted with the misfortune she now faced.

Xu Jing sighed, "I don’t care about any of that anymore, as long as I can find my child. Even if I end up impoverished, I’ll sweep the streets if I have to, just to raise my child."

"But you shouldn’t have to, I think someone has stolen your Qi Fortune."

"Ah?"

Xu Jing was stunned, not quite understanding Qin Zhao’s meaning.

Just as Qin Zhao was about to explain, there was a noise at the door, someone had come back.

They thought it was Xu Jing’s husband, but it turned out to be their maid.

"Madam, do we have guests today?"

The maid looked at Qin Zhao and Chu Yan with surprise.

Qin Zhao’s gaze sharpened instantly upon seeing the maid.

"Don’t you want to know where your child is? Ask her, and you’ll know."

"What child? I don’t understand what you’re talking about."

Upon hearing Qin Zhao’s words, a flicker of panic passed through the maid’s eyes.

"Sister Zhong! I’ve treated you well since you started working at my house! Tell me, is my child not dead? Where did you take him?"

Xu Jing pressed forward, questioning as the maid’s face grew more panicked.

"Madam, your child has passed away. Why are you asking me these questions? I really don’t know."

"No! He’s not dead! Tell me where my child is now!"

Xu Jing, a typically delicate woman from the south, became very assertive when it came to her child, "If you don’t speak, I’m calling the police!"

The maid pushed her away and turned to leave.

Chu Yan stepped forward and blocked the door, preventing the maid’s escape.

"If the child is not dead and you’ve hidden him, that’s punishable by death!" Sister Zhong, who had minimal schooling, was frightened by Xu Jing, "If you don’t speak now, I’ll have the police make you talk!"

"I’ll tell you! I’ll tell everyone! Just don’t call the police!"

Sister Zhong then turned back, pleadingly looking at her.

"The child...he’s indeed alive, and the master temporarily had me looking after him."

Hearing the word ’master’, although Xu Jing had mentally prepared herself, she still felt overwhelmed.

She grabbed Sister Zhong, shaking all over, "Why? Why would you do this! My child is clearly alive, why deceive me?! Is it that you all would be happy only if I were dead!"

Sister Zhong’s expression dodged, "The master gave me some money to do this. Madam, I’m sorry. But please, considering our many years of acquaintance, don’t call the police!"

"Take me to see my child! Quick, take me there!"

With Qin Zhao and Chu Yan clearly on Xu Jing’s side, Sister Zhong realized she couldn’t escape now that the secret was out, so she had no choice but to lead them to her home.

She was a migrant worker living in a distant village within the city, under poor conditions.

Just as they reached the front door, they heard a child’s cry.

Ignoring the dirty and chaotic environment, Xu Jing rushed into the room.

Inside, there was a cradle. Sister Zhong’s own daughter, already in her teens, was by the cradle looking after the child, mixing formula for the hungry infant.

"Mom, why are there so many people?"

The daughter looked uneasy as Xu Jing rushed in and took the child.

Sister Zhong did not explain, instead telling her daughter to stay in the room.
