Chapter 323: Chapter 323: This Person Has Ulterior Motives

Zhang Cheng was shocked!

There’s such a nuance to all this?!

Jiang Li continued, "However, it’s good that your fish pond is built on top of the rockery and isn’t too large, but the trouble lies behind this wall."

"Before coming here, did I see that there’s a man-made pond outside your courtyard?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Mrs. Zhang hurriedly nodded, "We bought the house because it was by the pond and the view was nice. What’s wrong with it?"

"Ponds both inside and outside the courtyard, and they are stagnant ponds at that. One pond serves as one grave, if these ponds aren’t filled, your son and grandson might very well have their lives shortened here."

Zhang Cheng was terrified and quickly grabbed his wife’s hand.

"Do you remember? We have a similar pond outside our old home’s yard, don’t we?"

Cold sweat had already formed on Mrs. Zhang’s back.

If that was the case, could the poor fortune of Zhang Family’s descendants also be due to this?!

"I have no knowledge of the Feng Shui at your ancestral home, whether it’s natural or man-made, I can’t judge. But as for this fish pond..." Jiang Li paused, her tone becoming somewhat meaningful, "It surely can’t be natural, right?"

Putting together the unprovoked curse on his daughter-in-law, Zhang Cheng’s face darkened, and he seemed to have realized something in an instant.

He looked at his wife with a cold tone, "Do you remember who was there when our house was getting renovated and when Beibei was pregnant and we threw a banquet?"

Mrs. Zhang thought for a moment, then suddenly her eyes widened, "Are you saying... Liu?! How, how could that be possible?"

Zhang Cheng snorted coldly, "Why not? On the surface, Liu and I seem to get along, but during our university days, we were arch-enemies. It’s because I won a competition and got the opportunity to study abroad, whereas he was eliminated and missed the chance for further education. How could he not hold a grudge against me?" freēwēbnovel.com

"I thought he had let it go after all these years, but..."

"Do you remember? Over the years, Liu has taken a liking to the study of the Xuan Sect, even doing divinations for others. Who else but him could think of such a vicious method of cursing? He clearly wants me to die without descendants!"

Zhang Cheng grew more furious as he spoke, pacing restlessly.

Just because of one poorly handled interpersonal relationship, he had almost brought disaster upon his whole family!

Jiang Li said, "Mr. Zhang, don’t panic. Do you have Liu’s Four Pillars of Destiny or even just his name and date of birth? A photo will do, too; I can help you confirm something."

Zhang Cheng immediately had his assistant fetch Liu’s information.

After glancing over the information and data, Jiang Li silently did some calculations in her mind and then softly uttered six words—

"This person harbors ill intentions."

Zhang Cheng couldn’t help but laugh coldly, "I knew it! Damn it, to think he’d dare target me!"

Jiang Li noticed the desire for revenge in Zhang Cheng’s eyes and spoke indifferently, "This person has a vicious heart, and indeed shouldn’t be overlooked, for he could cause harm to society. However, Mr. Zhang, you must also be cautious about how you handle this."

With that reminder from Jiang Li, Zhang Cheng also calmed down.

"Miss Jiang, thank you. If it weren’t for you, I would never have known about any of this to my dying day. Don’t worry, I know my limits. I won’t do anything illegal. It’s also to accumulate moral virtue for my descendants."

Jiang Li smiled and nodded, "As long as you understand."

Zhang Cheng and his wife thanked her profusely. Before leaving, they even slipped Jiang Li a bank card.

Jiang Li didn’t refuse.

After all, helping a family like Director Zhang’s with Feng Shui and divination without accepting anything would compromise her own Fate.

But when she saw the amount on the card, Jiang Li couldn’t help but gasp.

"Director Zhang is really generous."

After thinking for a bit, Jiang Li divided the money and transferred it out in several batches.

Soon, there were only a few ten-thousands left on the card.

"This should be enough."

Adding what she had earned before, she now had a little fortune of several million.

After all, whether in modern times or ancient, she had seldom experienced poverty; having some money on hand was necessary.

She then closed the car door and instructed the driver to head home.

Just as the car had turned a corner, she saw a familiar figure on the road.

"Uncle Song, please stop the car."

"Alright, Miss."

The car came to a smooth stop, and Jiang Li rolled down the window and called out to the shadow not far away.

"Jiang Cheng."

Jiang Cheng was startled for a moment, then he turned around and saw Jiang Li sitting in the car.

He panicked subconsciously, unable to hide the gloom that flashed across his face, but then he quickly regained his composure.

"Big, big sister?"

Jiang Li didn’t waste words with him. She simply said "Get in" with an expressionless face before rolling up the window.

Jiang Cheng hesitated.

"Click," the car door in front of him opened.

The sound was all too familiar, eliciting involuntary goosebumps from him.

Damn it!

He was absolutely not getting in the car because he yielded to the female devil’s tyranny!

Jiang Cheng got into the car reluctantly, using the door for support.

"What are you doing here?" he asked preemptively.

Jiang Li didn’t even glance at him, "Adult affairs are none of a child’s business."

Jiang Cheng: "....."

He deliberately turned his head away, ignoring Jiang Li.

But after ten minutes passed, there was still no sign that she wanted to inquire about him.

Jiang Cheng was puzzled. Didn’t this female devil care why he was here?

After all, this place was quite a distance from either school or home.

Another ten minutes passed, and Jiang Cheng couldn’t hold back any longer.

"Hey, why aren’t you asking why I’m here?"

Jiang Li had already taken out a book to read and at his question, didn’t even lift her eyelids.

"That’s your own business, why should I ask?"

"But didn’t you concern yourself with me and my classmate before?"

"That was because you were bringing disgrace to the Jiang Family." Jiang Li glanced at him, "As long as you bear the name of the Jiang Family, you are a member of the Jiang Family, my brother in name. You have your own freedom, but if you harm my interests or those of the Jiang Family, I won’t stand idly by."

Her tone was calm, yet it carried an inexplicable reminder and warning that was clear as a bell.

Jiang Cheng suddenly tensed, clutching the clothes in his hands.

For some reason, although Jiang Li’s words were far from warm, he felt oddly pleased.

Was she indirectly acknowledging his status as part of the Jiang Family?

Jiang Cheng suddenly felt at a loss. After all, in the past, this female devil wouldn’t even allow him to mention the words ’Jiang Family.’

So, that’s how it was.

If not, why would she bother with him? Why would she pick him up from the street after seeing him?

He must have some weight in her heart after all!
