Chapter 942 The Fortune-Telling Old Man
However, for some, there was joy, and for others, sorrow.
Brother Bai became the Vice President of the White Dragon Chamber of Commerce Headquarters, and his status within the Bai family greatly increased.
As for Bai Hongsheng, he was dejected. He flew into a rage, and those around him were so scared they dared not breathe.
"Dad, he's actually starting to value that good-for-nothing! Damn it, damn it!"
Bai Hongsheng cursed.
"Dad, I have a suggestion. I don't know if I should say it or not."
Suddenly, a voice rang out.
A young man beside him stepped forward and said softly.
This young man wore casual clothes. He wasn't particularly handsome but had a heroic air. He was dressed in designer casual wear, costing at least a hundred thousand, and the watch on his wrist was enough to buy an Audi A6.
He was Bai Feng, Bai Hongsheng's biological son.
"Xiao Feng, what are your thoughts?" Bai Hongsheng asked, his brow furrowed, but his eyes showed a hint of impatience.
His son, who only knew how to eat, drink, gamble, and prostitute, had never done anything serious. What good ideas could he come up with?
How could Bai Feng not know Bai Hongsheng's thoughts? He was eager to make Bai Hongsheng look at him with more respect, and immediately said, "Dad, hasn't Grandpa been wanting to find that fortune-telling old man to find the Jade Ginseng? If we find the Jade Ginseng, won't we be able to please Grandpa?"
Old Master Bai only publicly announced that he wanted to find the fortune-telling old man to search for the Jade Ginseng. As for what the Jade Ginseng was used for, besides Brother Bai and Young Master Bai, even core disciples like Bai Feng didn't know.
After all, if it were to be known, it would be disadvantageous for the Jade Ginseng's price, or if someone had ill intentions.
"Easier said than done. I've already sent everyone to look for that old man, but none have found him. That fortune-telling old man has vanished as if evaporated from the earth. I estimate that the fortune-telling old man has long since left Jiangnan Province."
Bai Hongsheng said angrily.
Speaking of this matter, he felt even more annoyed. A mere ginseng had a starting price of thirty million. At that time, he thought the fortune-telling old man was crazy and directly had him driven away. But who would have thought this thing would be so valuable?
It was simply fleecing people!
"Dad, I heard from the people under me that the guy seemed to have appeared at the South City Vegetable Market..."
Bai Feng lowered his voice and said.
"Really?"
"It's absolutely true! That subordinate once served that fortune-telling old man and definitely recognizes him."
"Then hurry up and go! I'm telling you, no matter what means you use, you must get the Jade Ginseng from that fortune-telling old man!" Bai Hongsheng gritted his teeth.
He had a strong feeling that this Jade Ginseng might determine his future!
"Alright, Dad, I'm going now."
After Bai Feng finished speaking, he turned to leave. Suddenly, he remembered he hadn't stated his business. He turned back and grinned at Bai Hongsheng, "Dad, if I find that fortune-telling old man and get the Jade Ginseng, can you buy me a Bugatti Veyron sports car?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Hongsheng's anger soared.
He thought Bai Feng had become promising, but he didn't expect Bai Feng to be waiting for him here.
Bai Hongsheng took a deep breath and still held back, "Alright, if you accomplish this, I'll buy you a Bugatti Veyron!"
"Dad, wait for my good news!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Feng excitedly slapped his thighs and scurried away!
That was a Bugatti Veyron! If he had a Bugatti Veyron, he would definitely have a lot of face in front of his friends. Wouldn't those guys flock to him?
At this moment, at the South City Vegetable Market.
"Miss, judging by your palm, you have certainly found a perfect match. You yourself come from a noble background, but your future will surely soar to great heights because of your husband, rising ninety thousand miles!"
An old man in his fifties or sixties, wearing black sunglasses and dressed in the Taoist robe commonly worn by fortune tellers, held a hand and spoke with a composed demeanor.
Su Yunxi, standing opposite him gracefully, couldn't help but chuckle.
Beside her, Chen Xuan rubbed his temples with a helpless expression.
"Miss, am I right? If I'm right, give me more reward money. Don't think I'm greedy for money. I'm not using this money for myself, but to pray to heaven for your smooth journey and safety!"
The fortune-telling old man continued, his eyes appearing very sincere.
Pfft!
Su Yunxi could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.
She laughed so hard her body convulsed.
"Miss, why are you laughing?" The fortune-telling old man asked with a serious expression.
Chen Xuan disgustedly pulled his hand out of the fortune-teller's grasp and glared, "You fortune-teller, you can't even tell the difference between a man's hand and a woman's, and you're here to swindle money?"
Su Yunxi and Chen Xuan, finally having some free time, decided to experience an ordinary married life. They walked hand-in-hand to the vegetable market to buy groceries and happened to meet a fortune teller setting up a stall there.
Having seen many Feng Shui techniques, Su Yunxi was very curious about them and decided to consult this fortune teller.
Chen Xuan naturally didn't believe in roadside fortune tellers.
Therefore, Chen Xuan extended his hand to the fortune teller.
Those around them immediately looked on with disdain, pointing and saying that this fortune teller was a fraud.
But the fortune teller remained calm, as if he hadn't heard the surrounding chatter.
Chen Xuan glanced at Su Yunxi, "Yunxi, I told you, this guy is a con artist. In fact, most street fortune tellers are con artists."
Su Yunxi nodded in agreement, "Indeed."
"Yunxi, let's hurry up and buy groceries. It's almost time to cook." Chen Xuan glanced at the time; it was already past ten.
"Alright!"
Su Yunxi nodded, holding Chen Xuan's arm, and prepared to go buy groceries.
But suddenly, the fortune-telling old man spoke, "Please wait a moment, both of you!"
"Is there anything else?" Su Yunxi stopped and turned to look at the fortune-telling old man.
"Miss, although wealth is external, I also need to eat, and the Supreme Lord also needs incense offerings. But I just told your fortune, you can't not pay, right?"
The fortune-telling old man said with a smile.
"Is that what you call fortune-telling? You couldn't even tell whose hand it was."
Su Yunxi pouted, feeling she had encountered a major swindler.
"Are you trying to welsh on the payment?"
Looking at the fortune-telling old man, Chen Xuan sneered a few times, clenching his fists with a cracking sound.
However, the fortune-telling old man was not alarmed at all. His expression remained calm as he stared at Su Yunxi and said, "Although I held your future husband's hand, I was calculating your fate. You asked me about your future earlier, and wasn't my answer correct?"
Su Yunxi was stunned and subconsciously nodded, "Yes..."
Although the fortune-telling old man hadn't held her hand, what he said was quite accurate.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan's expression also became serious. He sized up the fortune-telling old man before him, his brow furrowed.
Logically, ordinary fortune-telling involves analyzing the client's palmistry and physiognomy to understand their future, wealth, and romantic prospects.
But this old man held his hand and calculated Su Yunxi's fortune. If this was just a guess, it would be one thing, but if it was real, then his Feng Shui techniques would be extraordinary...
Could it be that this fortune-telling old man was not an ordinary person?
