Chapter 298 - Chapter 298 Chapter 298 This Is Also Fate

Chapter 298: Chapter 298 This Is Also Fate Chapter 298: Chapter 298 This Is Also Fate “Yaoyao, we just wanted to ask,” Old Sir Zhong sighed and finally spoke up, “the child?”

Although he had not finished speaking, Zhong Niangyao already understood, “Grandpa, Grandma, rest assured, I have already foretold for Second Aunt, and the child will be safe.”

After hearing Zhong Niangyao’s words, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong imperceptibly sighed in relief.

They were aware of Zhong Mengxuan coming to find Zhong Niangyao last night. They felt it was somewhat improper, but they did not stop it. They loved Zhong Niangyao dearly, but the unborn child inside Li Yiqiu’s womb was also their grandchild, and they simply couldn’t just ignore it. Nevertheless, they couldn’t pressure Zhong Niangyao, so they chose to do nothing.

In the end, Zhong Mengxuan didn’t come back with people, and although they were somewhat disappointed, they understood. Thankfully, everything was alarming but not dangerous in the end, and the child was born safely.

However, due to the premature birth, the child had to be placed in the intensive care unit immediately after birth, which caused them, as grandparents, much distress.

They couldn’t bring themselves to ask Zhong Niangyao for help, but they really wanted to know if the child would survive. They knew of Zhong Niangyao’s abilities, and after much deliberation, they still asked.

Now, having received an answer, they finally took a long breath.

Zhong Niangyao smiled and continued to say, “However, Grandpa, Grandma, there is something I need to clarify with you in advance. Although the child will be able to grow up safely, due to being premature and inherently deficient, his health may never be as good as that of an ordinary person. He must be taken care of meticulously. Only if he encounters some sort of fortune in the future is there a chance for change.”

This child is both unfortunate and fortunate. Such a physical condition, if born into an ordinary family, could indeed drag the family down, and his survival might not even be guaranteed. Being born into the wealthy Zhong Family, there is plenty of money to nurture his health, and he will live much more comfortably in the future. Moreover, even if his health isn’t good, he can still live a wealthy life.

Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, whose expressions had just relaxed, suddenly appeared solemn again.

Zhong Niangyao couldn’t come up with comforting words, as these were the facts. Even if she didn’t say it, they would find out sooner or later. It was better to tell them now so they could be mentally prepared.

After a good while, Old Sir Zhong finally let out a long sigh, “It’s fate!”

Zhong Niangyao set down the cup in her hand and then spoke, “Initially, Second Aunt was already in a state of shock, barely maintaining the pregnancy. If the child could have stayed until full term, he might have been born healthy. But now, being born so much earlier, it’s fortunate that he has survived at all.”

“That’s true,” Old Madam Zhong nodded but still looked worried, “it’s just hard on the child. His life will probably be difficult in the future.”

A sharp glint passed through Old Sir Zhong’s eyes, “We must investigate this thoroughly. What exactly did Zhong Mengxuan say to Yiqiu to cause her premature labor.”

This incident was clearly not an accident, and he already had many complaints against Zhong Mengxuan. Now, with such an incident occurring, his anger was almost uncontrollable.

“This matter indeed needs to be looked into,” Old Madam Zhong said with a calm but chilly tone, “However, after last night’s hustle, everyone is already exhausted. Let’s discuss this after a good rest.”

Old Sir Zhong nodded in agreement, then didn’t continue to say anything more.

In the following days, because of Li Yiqiu’s premature delivery, the household was somewhat chaotic.

With the start of school approaching, Zhong Niangyao planned to resolve the matter of Five Ghosts Transporting Wealth before school began.

After Lu Yichen took on Zhong Niangyao’s case, they soon arrived at a famous villa district in the Imperial Capital. As soon as they entered the villa district, Zhong Niangyao could tell through the window where their destination was because, above that villa, there was a swath of ghost energy so dense it was almost turning black.

“It seems the Zhu Family must have done something,” Zhong Niangyao said helplessly shaking her head, “If they had done nothing, they might have held on for a while. Now, they must have suffered the Five Ghost’s retribution. It’s fortunate we came early, otherwise, innocent people might have been harmed!”

Before coming, they had already investigated, and the elder’s surname was Zhu. The Zhu Family started with real estate and was considered wealthy in the Imperial Capital.

However, what made the Zhu Family famous was not their rise to wealth, but their dedication to charity. Ever since they made their fortune, the Zhu Family had been consistently doing good deeds, known in the Imperial Capital for their philanthropy. Because of this, the government had even awarded the Zhu Family in the past.

Times change, though, and about twenty years ago, when the current head of the Zhu Family took over, some charitable projects were suspended. Afterward, the Zhu Family’s charity work saw a sharp decline, and simultaneously, their business faced many setbacks.

The Zhu Family gradually faded from the public eye.

In recent years, the Zhu Family re-entered people’s field of vision, but not for positive reasons. The houses built by the Zhu Family’s company had constant problems, and their construction sites frequently had accidents.

Many speculated the Zhu Family must have done something unspeakable to be so unlucky.

Such matters were merely gossip for leisure discussion and not taken seriously by most.

But the Zhu Family, as the directly affected party, was far from relaxed; these accidents had completely worn them down.

Lu Yichen also glanced out the window, then frowned lightly and said, “This Five Ghosts’ resentment seems quite strong. Be careful when we reach the Zhu Family’s place.”

Zhong Niangyao’s expression turned grave, and she nodded, “I understand, and you be careful too.”

To be honest, she still had not seen the full extent of Lu Yichen’s abilities. She was genuinely curious how Lu Yichen could possess such profound strength. And what was with the Purple Energy and Evil Qi within him?

“What’s the matter?”

Seeing Zhong Niangyao staring at his face, Lu Yichen raised an eyebrow and spoke, “Looking at me like that, have you discovered that you’re starting to fall for me?”
